Bleed Me Dry 03:23
walk right up, step to the cusp swallow me whole swallow me up nothing to find the clock unwinds it's killing me, I'm killing time if they look I'll die look me in the eye I think I hate more than I love I've learned to live with the burn of my hunger with no need to cry consuming me from the inside it keeps me alive too tired to try I want, I get, I soon regret chewed to the bone and soaked in spit I'm feeling faint, my fist clenched tight drain me until my lips turn white you can bleed me dry
2.
describe to me the colors you see my vision is empty free my eyes pull back the veil show me the vivid detail shine the light the black and the white cradled through the dark of the night shake my shoulders til I wake to the sound the sun makes the morning takes a swing and I'm punch drunk and stumbling I will look directly the crooked curse of assymetry this may be an ugly mess but it's my personal best
3.
I want to open up all the windows in my brain sweeping up the broken glass look for rocks and who's to blame blood collecting on the floor ignore it sweep it in into the grate flesh and bone apart once more you know you've got a hunger you can't sate the oil on the seas licks my knees, turning black the day's light the fires on the horizon turning orange the black of night we thought the world was ending well, it turns out we were right somebody said something about softly going into that good night (die die die)
4.
I am burdened by love I am frightened of my shadow I'm a glutton for punishment a rigid smile hold that pose hold that pose! self is one, one is many, take until there isn't any do I feel that I am special? do I feel that I am smart? I know I wake up afraid I know you'll tear me apart rip out my heart! self is one, one is many take until there isn't any well I'm the queen of the world I'm swinging the axe I'm the cruelest girl I'm miss mary mack I'm making heads roll all dressed in black self is one, one is many, take until there isn't any

The Crown 05:53
dig my hands deep in the dirt clench my fists around the earth I will plant this rotten seed claw until my fingers bleed I think I'll go out tonight control tope hose cinched up tight shoulders back and spine held straight hopefully you'll take the bait both madonna and the whore gnaw the apple to the core poison clinging to your mouth I will turn you inside out tie me to that wooden stake burn my body up with rage as the flames rise from the ground I'll wear the fire like a crown I'll wear it the fire I'll wear it like a crown

about

our first EP, Personal Best, was recorded in a back yard, a closet, a basement, and an industrial complex during a global pandemic. It's a weird time to be in a band, but we are grateful that we have been able to create and hopefully contribute something good to the wounded world we are living in. with love, adlt grrrl
