Alice Falling - The Rake Beach Collection

Tomorrow we'll go back to life And she'll be alright New Year's Eve In her sequin skirt and leather jacket Red wine stained gloss and legs forever She just blew in through the side door With noise and cold and a perfumed scarf Sprawled on my couch for the last time How many times do we get to say...

Met him late on a Friday Never shuts up when he's drunk Between blackberry fixes He said he knows me Likes to praise me But I think he's creepy So I leave my drink half empty And take a drive These days your on my mind All of the time Went by the house yesterday Resurrected from a pottery barn...

One day she went plastic Painless beauty pays So hide your dirty face Glitter glaze and starving days Talk in scripts if that makes you easy The money’s all that matters anyway Swallow down those pretty pills Dr says this poison’s safe Purple lifts you off the bed Later white to bury you again The...

Clean place for garbage people Sent to bleach his mind Charcoal veins run dry When it stings you’ll know your alive When it stings you’ll wish you were dead Did he hit you too hard or just too many times You get what you deserve when you aren’t a right solider’s boy Sanitized not stabilized She kept...

It's a primitive climb up the stairs to black light paradise But when you get to the top the tease won't let you in She'll snicker with her suited thugs as they watch you stagger down again Where have you been That your days bleed to night And everyone can see your not alright It's been that kind of...

Dusting off my bag of tricks Smokey eyes Shimmer sticky lips I’m sugary sweet on sweaty sheets Still smell the same In the middle I’ll whisper your name Pulling glossy pouts Dampened lacy little things Long legs leading Anticipated teasing I sigh In my secret spot, your name tattoo Need a trickier,...
