Native Speaker - Demo

We're living in a fascist state
but I still go on dinner dates
everybody seems the same:
just a hometown, and some hobbies
and their body in my body
then they leave, and they don't call me
My first love was hotter than hell,
now I screw losers in a twin XL
They don't make love, they only make haste
pretend I didn't finish, save some face
And when they touch me,
I can tell they learned how to do this
with someone else's body
I can feel their love for other women on me
And I hope you curse your new lovers with the same
I hope my memory crawls on their skin while they're saying your name
cause you and I wrote our language of love together
and you are the one
and I'm missing the tongue
of my native speaker
I know I am a total mess
and my songs don't pass the Bechdel test
everyday seems the same:
another memory, and your anatomy,
every thought of you is a traumatic brain injury
Are you scared of what you've done to me?
You're poisoned by that ivy, never again to be inside me
So you make me waste my life,
still in love with someone that I don't even like
And when they touch me,
I can tell they learned how to do this
with someone else's body
I can feel their love for other women on me
And I hope you curse your new lovers with the same
I hope my memory crawls on their skin while they're saying your name
cause you and I wrote our language of love together
and you are the one
and I'm missing the tongue
of my native speaker
And you are a modern king
and I am the counter culture uprising
and I wish I was fine after all of this time
but I'm still suffering
Because when other people touch me,
I can tell they learned how to do this
with someone else's body
I can feel their love for other women on me
And I hope you curse your new lovers with the same
I hope my memory crawls on their skin while they're saying your name
cause you and I wrote our language of love together
and you are the one
and I'm missing the tongue
of my native speaker

Cameron - Demo
02:10
|

We were both dressed up as snow white
you and me on a Halloween night
your curly hair and my dimples,
oh life, it was so simple
You and me we love to play
we hide from our parents at the end of the day
Never mattered what we did,
always a good time, just us kids
Bound by a triple-A logo,
we never went solo, oh no, oh no
just you and me in the backyard
growing up caught me off guard
I wish we still played pretend
I wish I'd been a better friend
to Cameron, to Cameron
to Cameron, to Cameron
We were both thirteen roaming NYC
away from everyone and everything
your head was aching, you called my name
you called me "home" and I felt ashamed
I couldn't fix your sudden tears
and I couldn't fix the past few years
but Cameron if it's worth a damn,
because of you, I'm who I am
Bound by a triple-A logo,
we never went solo, oh no, oh no
just you and me in the backyard
growing up caught me off guard
I wish we still played pretend
I wish I'd been a better friend
to Cameron, to Cameron
to Cameron, to Cameron
And twenty-one is pretty young,
but I just feel so old
And I see you on a different road
but I hope your whole world's gold
Bound by a triple-A logo,
we never went solo, oh no, oh no
just you and me in the backyard
growing up caught me off guard
I wish we still played pretend
I wish I'd been a better friend
to Cameron, to Cameron
to Cameron, to Cameron
to Cameron, to Cameron
to Cameron, to Cameron

Titanic - Demo
03:29
|

Night time's colder here across the sea
you are both closer and further from me
did you think of the day, did you even miss me?
or was it merely the end of January?
You look like your father, you live like a king
greying my waters as you kidnap my dreams
I'm crying so hard my voice wears out from the scream
will you tarnish the silver lining I find when I sing?
I am so broken that I call upon God
I do not believe but I want to be wrong
You're my delusion, my sad fantasy
I cannot hold you, but you're all that I see
Can you swim across the Atlantic?
We are beautiful but we are the Titanic
This is the pattern that I always fall in:
Adore him, adore him, adore him
I adore him, adore him, adore him
I've gotten older but you haven't seen
I've gotten witty, but you don't know what that means
Do you miss my eyes, unforgettable green?
Or does the envy in them make you run from the scene?
Us being young doesn't excuse anything
I still don't understand how you could do that to me
But if bullets ever went your way,
I'd step in front of you into an early grave
I am so broken that I call upon God
I do not believe but I want to be wrong
You're my delusion, my sad fantasy
I cannot hold you, but you're all that I see
Can you swim across the Atlantic?
We are beautiful but we are the Titanic
This is the pattern that I always fall in:
Adore him, adore him, adore him
I adore him, adore him, adore him
Now you're out there on the open sea
knowing every detail that there is of me
like my every single kink, and the way that I think
My love weighs me down, you float free, and I sink
I am so broken that I call upon God
I do not believe but I want to be wrong
You're my delusion, my sad fantasy
I cannot hold you, but you're all that I see
Can you swim across the Atlantic?
We are beautiful but we are the Titanic
This is the pattern that I always fall in:
Adore him, adore him, adore him
I adore him, adore him, adore him
I adore him, adore him, adore him

Parallel Universe - Demo
02:55

I carry your laughter as if it is a song
I can't remember it, but I want to sing along
I loved you first, I pen my verse
I must leave this universe
but I can never find that gap in space and time
to leap to other worlds where I am still your girl
I get sad but I try not to mind
cause in a parallel universe, everything is fine
I'm still yours and you are still mine
yeah somewhere we are still in love and you haven't changed your mind
and I love you with my back turned but I do not fear your knife
I carry your absence as if it is our baby
it sucks the life out of my body and then drives me crazy
pick up the pace, but it's not a race
everyday I feel ashamed
but I can never know why you had to go
and leave me in the lurch like a sinner without church
I get sad but I try not to mind
cause in a parallel universe, everything is fine
I'm still yours and you are still mine
yeah somewhere we are still in love and you haven't changed your mind
and I love you with my back turned but I do not fear your knife
And it would be for the best
if I could just put this thing to rest
if it wasn't a lie to lie in another's bed
if I could just love another man instead
I get sad but I try not to mind
cause in a parallel universe, everything is fine
I'm still yours and you are still mine
yeah somewhere we are still in love and you haven't changed your mind
and I love you with my back turned but I do not fear your knife
I love you with my back turned but I do not fear your knife
