“Reconnoiter”
I ate the vegetable
So where’s the happy chemical
I ran the whole mile
So why am I not smiling
I got the components
But I don’t got serotonin
So I take my little potion
To keep in check with my emotions
And I
Pressed my laundry
Thought I could get myself clean
Drag my body through the dryer
But it sticks to me like acarine
So I willow in my filth
With all this blood on my hands
So I take my little potion
To keep in check with my emotions
Been drinking water
Swimming in it like an otter
But It’s wasted out in tears
When I marathon Harry Potter
Cuz I don’t got nothing better
Than to sit around and wallow
I go to take my little potion
But can’t bring myself to swallow
My brains betrayed me
But my heart is loyal
Where my body fails me
My heart reconnoiter
I ate the vegetable
So we’re the happy chemical
I walked around the neighborhood
And saw so many people
With their heads stuck in a salad
Using teardrops as a dressing
Guess we’re all chasing happiness
Running from the same depression
Got the running shoes from daddy
Never told me how he felt
Runners body from my momma
Never taught me to eat well
got this runners fear from college
Dark streets scare me to death
But I’m running after dark
Cuz the fears all I got left
And my laces are untying
As I finish up my lap
When I fall instead of crying
I just sit there and laugh
Because my knees are weak from trying
And I can’t catch my breath
I waited too long to care about me
It’s my punishment
My brains betrayed me
But my heart is loyal
Where my body fails me
My heart reconnoiter
One day I’ll find someone just as broken as me
And we will fix our ailing joints and work on each other’s bodies
And we will feel the rays of sun on our face warm and fine
And with our hands intertwined we’re gonna cross that finish line
They say it’s not a sprint that it’s a marathon
But they’re wrong
It’s a fucking hell of a treadmill
we’re on
It’s unlimited
The limit listed on the inclines wrong
it always go up
And it will never stop
Until you stop
I won’t stop
My body’s bones are crying asking if we can sit down
My lungs they think I’m dying asking where there’s air to be found
And my sneakers got the tear but not the wear they outta have
So imma push forward on shaky legs to get through this last lap
And imma eat that avocado toast
And sleep in the whole seven
No more stress-in: take a jog
And drink that water with the lemon
It’s a process with progression
It’s precision not possession
It’s counseling not concession
It’s expression that’s egression
Not aggression: Please, I’m done with that
Only got time for the pH kinda fat
And when I’m smiling: heart, body, brain, and soul
I’m gonna set a new course to start look for you.

“Too broke to look for love”
You say that your coming home
You say that you need some time on your own
You say your better off alone
You say you don’t got the time
But you don’t say what’s on your mind
You say we’ll work out; you lying
Cuz we don’t talk
We just touch
And we both no it’s not enough
But we’re too busy being broke to look for love
And we don’t smile
We just smoke
Cuz we cannot afford hope so
We just settle cuz we’re too broke to look for love
I say that I’m going out
I say that you should go sleep on the couch
I don’t say I got some doubts
I say you don’t kiss me nicely
I say you don’t give me nice things
I say I understand
And I think if we had the money
That maybe then we’d have the loving
But we’re too different
And we are too stubborn
To accept that we are not meant for each other
Cuz we don’t talk
We just touch
And we both no it’s not enough
But we’re too busy being broke to look for love
And we don’t smile
We just smoke
Cuz we cannot afford hope so
We just settle cuz we’re too broke to look for love
And I’m alone in your arms
We’re together but not together
We’re tethered but not forever
And I’m alone in your arms
But we don’t know each other enough
To notice any of the alarms
Cuz we don’t talk
We just touch
And we both no it’s not enough
But we’re too busy being broke to look for love
And we don’t smile
We just smoke
Cuz we cannot afford hope so
We just settle cuz we’re too broke to look for love

“The Ex- Files”
I know I’m not alone
I know I’m not the only soul who wants to believe there’s more
I know I’m not alone
I know I’m not the only soul who wants to believe
I track the Stars across the galaxies
Gallifrey was never just a fiction
Fixed to me
I believe
I believe in all the mysteries
Misty me
Missed the me that believe in you
You and all your big conspiracies
See I got that complexity
See you got a fallacy
Falsely tell me you don’t love
That you don’t love me
I know big foot is real because I dated you
I hated you
Making me feel like I made you up
When I made up with you
Texting me all night keeping it cryptic
You cryptid
Disappearing when I ask for proof your existence
Then say that you want us to go the distance
The difference is that I’m done believing all your bullshit
Bullshit!
You’re Stopping on my heart like you're a yeti
Walking all over me like I’m the Serengeti
Now I’m petty:
You’re so pretty that will only get so far into my panties
So now your just another ex in the file far from empty
I know I'm not alone
I know I'm not the only one who wants to believe
The truth is out there
And I’m a find it
You were just a Mothman looking for a light and
I was just a Jersey Devil looking for some trouble
Now we’re just water under all the bridge rubble
Rebel with a cause you were addictive
Stumble in the dark into your wings
Yeah I felt lifted
But you were just a harbinger of jealously vindictive
Always wanting to keep all the love that I was given
Yeah I was a victim
Fell right in your sights
I was afflicted
Seeing you in my dreams at night
Boy you were wicked
Lips so sweet but with a bite
A moth to a flame but the flame was a gaslight
Now I
Look both ways before I cross the river
On the breeze when I walk I say your name when I get shivers
And you’d figure that after all this time I would learn
That it’s not enough to get over the bridges you’ve burned
I’m still hurt
My heart is getting heavy
Thought that by now I would know not the get messy
But you were just another work of fiction in my memory
And now your just another ex in the file far from empty
I want to believe that your out there
Are you out there
Are you out there
I want to believe that you are out there
Is someone out there
For me
I track the the waves across the sea
See that there’s a pattern please
Tell me I’m not crazy when I look into the depths of what I think is true beauty
New to me
On the green
I kiss the water just to feel her lips so sweet
She was a monster in the sheets
On the streets
People don't think that she’s with me
Legs long as her neck I was her shorty
Shortly we saw the storm coming on the breeze
So we agree’d to secrecy
We’d kept it under loch and key
Oh, But nothing this good last forever
I could only barley tread water remember
And she wanted to take me deep and I felt the pressure
we decided to swim our separate ways however
every now and then I think of my girl Nessy
Maybe in a few more years i’ll finally be ready
But until then I’ll keep the doggie paddle going steady
And she will be another ex in the file far from empty

“Janus”
Don’t shit where you eat
And don’t dare speak that shit
Keep my name out your mouth
Or you're bout to get hit
See I Thought we were tight
NowI’m cutting you loose
Like a noose round my neck
Did not know I was blue
'Til you took my breathe away
When I found the truth
Left me speechless
And I make my money from speaking
I don’t play my dollars
You got cash to burn
You like to play with matches
Until you get hurt
I talk behind your back because you gotta another face
I call him Janus cuz he’s speaks out his anus most the days
I’d call you Brutus but your bruising don’t graze my rib cage
I am no Caesar I’m the motherfucking Cleopatra babe
You’re a big fish circling the drain inside your small pond
Talking to you got my head spin like I’m watching ping-pong
Ring it
Ding dong 'cuz I’m gonna kill you witch
Bitch
Call me King Kong
Imma snatch your chick
I’m Goliath your just David throwing all your sticks and stones
Fe-fi-fo-fum I'm gonna crush up all your bones
Sell it on the street just like I know you sold your soul
Could be NASA you just NASTY
Never come for my throne
You a peasant
You a pest
You a pleeb
You a mess
You a stress I’mma press out
A smudge imma wipe out
A footnote imma white out
A football: imma kick you out
Charlie Brown
I talk behind your back because you got a face like Quirrell
Hide your mask behind your mind I see you’re lies: I'm casting lumos
It’s distressing that I let you in this deep: cuz you’re a muggle
I should call the pound: bitches like you deserve a muzzle
Your Napoleon on your high horse without it you’re an inch
Talking to you: head spin like I’m watching quidditch
Quit it
Ding dong cuz imma kill you witch
Bitch
Call me King Kong
Imma snatch your chick
You a rabbit imma skin I’ll make you into a beret
Jumping to conclusions scurrying to run away
I trusted you
Busted with you
Adjusted with you
Discussed with you
Now I’m disgusted with you
Musket’s off the wall
Just give me one good reason
Not to open fire up and call it
“Rabbit season”
No?
You at a loss for words
That’s not what heard
That’s not the second or third time
I’ve given you a pass
Shoulda thrown you out on your ass
I’m too forgiving
For giving you a chance to face facts
The olive branch is made of glass
I’ll cut you with the thorns
Watch your reflection crack
As Judas finally grows his horns
big bitch carry your sins
This cross I gotta Bare
I’m a goddess
You are god-less
You a gossip with no prayers
You thought you’d stake me to the fire
Bitch I’m Targaryen
A Theatrical threat: thespian
Spit Shakespearean
I’ll cut you out
Caesarian
Another corpse I’m burying
Say hi to Charion ferrying
Two-face and worthless
Cent-ian
Oh?
Are you Gemini?
Cuz you could have fooled me
Bitch.
I talk behind your back because you gotta another face
I call him Janus cuz he’s speaks out of anus most the days
I’d call you Brutus but your bruising don’t graze my rib cage
I am no Caesar I’m the motherfucking Cleopatra babe
You’re just a big fish circling the drain inside your small pond
Talking to you got my head spin like I’m watching ping-pong
Ring it
Ding dong because I’m gonna kill you witch
Bitch
Call me King Kong
Cuz I don’t fuck with your shit

Poltergeist

Poltergeist”
I ran into your ghost today
And I didn’t feel haunted.
I walked right through you
Cuz talking to you would be morbid.
You’ve been dead for months
That’s what I told my parents.
Sometimes they call a seance
Talking about you like they clairvoyant.
But you weren’t nice to me
You were a vice to me
Now you’re just a poltergeist to me.
You weren’t nice to me
But I hope that you can find your peace.
I ran into your ghost today
And I didn’t feel haunted.
You were a curse to me
But now it feels lifted.
I Got rid of your all shirts
And I saged the apartment.
Took down all your pictures
Cleaned your cologne out of the carpet.
Cuz you weren’t nice to me
You were a vice to me
Now you’re just a poltergeist to me.
You weren’t nice to me
But I hope that you can find your peace.
Please
Tell me you’ve moved on
Cuz I want to move on
Without feeling you there.
Please
Tell me you’ve moved on
Cuz I keep
Letting you possess my every waking thought.
When it’s over
It’s over
Our loves dead and gone
I don't want to feel it on my skin
Or hear it in our song
Stop bring up the good times
I put them all to bed
But in my head
I got the picture book spread.
I put up the white flag
I gave in
When I saw your red ones
in your grin
Now I got a black one
On my skin
From holding myself back from going back again
And no we can’t be friends
I gotta have some self respect
Can’t make amends
For everything that you have wrecked
I just got cleansed
And you got a bad reputation
You can’t haunt this house
I’m making stronger foundations
So you can go blow up my phone
Sorry, the caller you want just isn’t home
Cuz I just want a love that is peaceful
I’m not a Joel-Osmond
I don’t see dead people
I think that you at evil
Or just a little selfish
Put you on my allergies
Avoid you like shellfish
Cuz in this world you’ve caused me to much strife
Maybe you can try again in the afterlife
You weren’t nice to me
You were a vice to me
Now you’re just a poltergeist to me.
You weren’t nice to me
You were a vice to me
Now you’re just a poltergeist to me.
You weren’t nice to me
But I hope that you can find your peace.

Pillow Princess

“Pillow princess”
All the knights
Never did me right
Never stayed the night
Never thought to write
Towers tall
I built all these walls
Hoping no man could
Climb
Pillow forts
Are pillow castles
I could be your pillow damsel
Save me save me
Pillow fights
With Demi-dragons
Pillow talk-in
Chivalry is dead
That’s what she said:
She said
You're my pillow princess
And I’m your plaidinin
I got my U-haul steed we can ran away in
Just lay your head down on my chest
I’ll take care of the rest
I’ll be your queen
If you’ll let me
All the knights
Never looked so fine
With her sword by her side
Hair cut short
With that lip gloss sport
She knows just the flavor I like
Pillow forts
Are pillow castles
I could be your pillow damsel
Save me save me
Pillow fights
With Demi-dragons
Pillow talking
Chivalry is dead
That’s what I said:
Cuz I’m your pillow princess
your my plaidinin
you got your U-haul steed we can ran away in
I’ll lay my head down on your chest
You take care of the rest
Cuz your my queen
It’s my happy ending
We have a happy ending
Cuz we ain’t ever ending
In this happy ever after
After everything we been through
Fought My way through hell to see you
Cuz my savior needs some saving too
Just lay your head down on my chest
Let me take care of the rest
Lay your head down on this bed
Give you true love kisses you won’t forget
You're my pillow princess
And I’m your plaidinin
I got my -uhaul steed we can ran away in
Just lay your head down on my chest
I’ll take care of the rest
I’ll be your queen
If you’ll let me
Let me
Let me (oh)
Let me
Let me
Let me
Let me
Let me (oh)
Let me
Let me
Let me

A Cold Day In July

"A Cold Day In July”
It’ll be a cold day in July
When I get the chance to ever call you mine
It’ll be a cold day in July
When I become your type
I guess you don’t like the girls who speak their mind
Don’t like the girls that sip the wine
I guess you got a death wish
Cuz you know that thick thighs save lives
You must be blind or crazy
To pass me up as your baby
So it will be a cold day
The next time That I say your name
It’ll be a cold day in July
When you get another shot to be my guy
Better yet when I see pigs fly
Will be the day that I say come on by
See I don’t got time for bullshit
You blew it
Blew all of that cash on your new chick
New kicks
She looks good in them walking away
Shoulda called you a sucker: daddy’s sugar never stays
And I got a sweet tooth
I dream of new jimmy choos
And a new jimmy too
better looker than you
Rich in the wallet in the mind in the bed
You can’t afford a bad bitch
That’s why you settle for less
Oh it’ll be a cold day in July
When you ever get the pleasure of hearing me calling you mine
Oh it’ll be a cold day in July
When I give you a second, and a third, and a fourth, and I lost count amount of try’s
I got a heart a gold and it is malleable
You always had excuses: you were fallible
And now your crawling in my DM’s: I ain’t gullible
You wanna talk? You better pay! Cuz my times valuable.
You ain’t as funny as you think: but boy you are laughable:
To think you’d play me like a fiddle: bitch this ain’t no musical
But like a Hannibal cannibal,
Eat it up like a animal,
Tears taste so tasty to tear into you; cuz you testy
Guess that you got hungry
Cuz you after this snack
said I should be on a diet
I ain’t calling you back
And I can see your tummy rumble
And your heart start to crack
I guess I didn’t need to sit on you
To hear your body snap
And I clap black to reality
Where you won’t get with this
Don’t tell me you don’t want me: then go hit up pics
And Your stories got more holes than that Munster and Swiss
it’s so yummy to see it: I eat it up with a ritz
It’ll be a cold day in July
It’s be a snow storm in the summer
When I ever call you my lover
Oh it’ll be a cold day in July
It’ll be a snow storm in the summer
When I ever call you
Don’t want no chubby chaser
I just want Chubby Chase
Give me a fats Domino
That buys me domino’s, Kay?
You got be *NSYNC with me
Like Joey Fatone, for days:
Or I’ll leave you for guy Fierri
Go to Flavortown: yeee:
You wanna be my dom
Then go and get me subway
Got go hard like Gordon Ramsay
Flip me: like Bobby Flay
Take me out on an adventure
Like Anthony Bourdain
And I’ll let you taste my cookies
Call me a Rachael Ray!
But if you wanna take me out
Make sure you can pay
Cuz it takes a lot of money
To look this good all day
And if I gave it for free
I’d never be free to hang
Like they say,
A bigger buck get you a better bang cuz
My milkshake brings all the boys to the yard
And I’m like: do you got a credit card
Damn right: i put a tax on the charge
Cuz this lil’ shake is thicker than yours (3x)
Oh Oh OHHHHHH
Oh it’ll be a cold day in July——-
But climate change is real so who knows?

Pride

“Pride”
I’m on the L train
Took the L cause of the rain
The dew drops sticking to my face
I took an L today
And thank god for the rain
Cuz I can’t let them see me crying again
I’ve always been too soft
The first to love
The last thought
But what’s the point of life if you’re just gonna go and give up
But I don't practice what i preach
Cuz when I turn to touch my teeth
The rain washes away the rainbow on my cheek
I see the beads on the ground
Rumble to the track
I see the stickers ripped off the shirts
The flags in backpacks
it’s great to be yourself
Out in the crowd in the dome
But it’s hard to be yourself
When you can’t be yourself at home
It took me hours to pick out the getup That I would wear
I went digging to the back to find that bow for my hair
But on the train back to reality
The closet waiting for me
These clothes loose their magic to protect me
And I look at a boy
Wipe off the lipstick
He spent 20 minutes matching it to his outfit
And the girl down the street
Let’s her hand drop for mine
I guess we’ll see each-other
In another lifetime
Lifetime movies aren’t as sad
As the L train from pride
A cart of rainbow beacons flickering out in the florescent lights
But I don’t want to fade out tonight
Nothing breaks my heart
Like the L train from pride
A cart of rainbow beacons flickering out in the florescent lights
But I don’t want to dim my colors tonight not now not ever
I’m on the L train
Another stop
another step closer to hiding again
Pick up the people
Get moving
Cuz New York City never has time to stop
Improving
I’m choosing to let this rain deep into my roots
Cuz it’s June and I’m blooming all these petals of truth
I’m only human so I make a lot of mistakes
But being proud of myself will never be on again
So I cross the crowded cart to the boy on the bench
I take my lipstick out my pocket see joy on his breathe
And his smile’s painted pink when we’re done
I don’t feel numb
As the girl across, crosses to me brushes my thumb
And I feel dumb for think that red was never my shade
Now I feel loved in the healing orange yellow sunlight rays
It’s in my nature: to be green as the grass that I paint next to
The turquoise water under the bridge: let me rephrase
I’m just an indigo girl: ready to fight for some serenity
I got a violet spirit: it’s a part of my identity
And this guys got a destiny: he’s trying to get to desperately
our job as a community to live up to these legacies
Cuz nothing breaks my heart
Like the L train from pride
A cart of rainbow beacons flickering out in the florescent lights
But He wont let you put him back in his prism tonight
Nothing breaks my heart
Like the L train from pride
A cart of rainbow beacons flickering out in the florescent lights
No we won’t won’t let you dim our colors tonight not now not ever
If She’s the L
He’s the G
I’m the B
She’s the T
We the Q
They The I
And the A
With the plus size
Plus I: know there’s more to explore outside the alphabet
Gender isn’t real: sexuality is infinite
In the fit of the grand scheme I don’t see why we fight
Because Our only sin was calling our coming out a “pride”
My heart beats the same as yours:
Who cares who it beats for?
Who cares who it beats for?
You’ve beaten and you’ve broken and you’ve burned your mark in history
Our herstory is scared with your cruelty
Do you really think we don’t deserve to celebrate our survival
Sometimes it feels like we keep running
into a stonewall
Never forget
The first pride was a riot
We can go back to that if you want to disrespect our rights and
We can die for this country once finally let us live in it
So yes I am proud of the people who defy it
The act of existence is rebellion
The act of loving yourself is insurrection
Correction
The act of excepting yourself is freedom
It’s the reason for the season: and yes I believe em’
The L train is eden
For Adam Eve and Steve and Susan
The L train is inclusion
The L train’s the conclusion
That I’ve come to when we let our colors shine
The L train is love
And the L train is mine
You can’t take my pride
You can’t snatch her crown
You can’t clock his gown
You can’t make them frown
You can’t touch my love
You can’t hold them down
You can’t keep us out
And you can’t stop me now
You can’t take my pride
You can’t snatch her crown
You can’t clock his gown
You can’t make them frown
You can’t touch my love
You can’t hold them down
You can’t keep us out
And you can’t stop me now
