Alyson Stoner - Pretty Girls

...my face is hidden

for good reason.

I'll let them see

what they want

believe what they want

until someone mindfully

takes my wall

of golden chords

and wraps them round

and round 

and round my neck 

till I no longer see myself,

floating limp

in these beaded drapes...

Tinashe - All Hands On Deck

...dead and gone

from what I used to be

you lock into me

your legs wrapped around

wanting me closer

to keep you warm

I do

I'm nervous

so nervous

and sense a heartache

coming

But can't swim away

not now

too soon

All i can do

is look away 

from that sweet face

of yours...

-Note To Self-

...sometimes silence is ok

And I've learned to deal with it...

...During my stay

At The Royal Ballet School

I saw him from the corner of my eye

A large white stag

With golden antelers

And violet-colored eyes

I walked closer to the window

In an attempt to follow him

But Margot Fonteyn's statue

Barred

The docent asked if I was alright

I told her yes

But I really wasn't.

I felt I had seen an angel

If even for a second

And i only wanted

To feel more of him...

Azealia Banks - Ice Princess

...a coolness overtakes

Filling my blood with regret

Starting in my fingers

It creeps up

Slow 

Through my arm

Into my face

And I can feel my eyes

Cooling

My head then spikes

Sharp and rigid 

Making me wander

My surround

I blink and stumble

He tells me 

This is what I am

And part of it is true.

From all the blacks and greys

And all those cool colors in between

That have shaped my heart

Into this freon pump...

Karmin - Along The Road

...It was nice seeing him today

he's thinking of proposing to her,

and mentioned i may be best man.

This made me think of you

Especially later in the day

When i looked out the window 

And noticed the solar lamps

glowing.

They're the only thing left 

of the garden you fixed for me.

My brother and sister have made a mess

Of what used to be my home

Mirrors gone

The mannequin tucked away.

But seeing that solar lamp

shining in the night

Warmed my heart.

A combination of sadness

And happiness

Thinking of how beautiful

Some things were.

Marina & The Diamonds - Forget

...nothing was against my will

and still

I want to be over and done

for it all to be washed away

the pressure

of my performance

Ever since I can remember

life is like a tipping scale

like an abacus I played with

counting every win and fail

All along I've been dancing

with the devil

and he pretends to care

caressing my every thought

he'd leave me bare

All the time that I have wasted

chasing rabbits down a hole

when I was born to be the tortoise

I was born to walk alone...

-Note to Self-

...my enchanting journey...

...have courage, be kind

and continue to find magic

in everything you see and do

we can live as many lives as we choose

but I only want one great life

with you...
