Devil's Work
Cross my heart and hope to die Karma kisses you to death
Stick a needle in my eye Like she did when I left
I’ve lost my mind Take one last breath
There’s nothing sweeter than revenge My love was sacred for you
And you and I both know No holy water can help you now
It’s best served cold Gonna drown you out
Like a whisper in the night Sharp as a knife
I’m taking flight Hunting my prize
You’ll never see me coming Baby you're my sacrifice
Oh Lord forgive me Yes only God knows
For I have sinned This is devil's work
The heavens rained down on my head
Oh please bless me
Now I am cursed
Cause only God knows this is devil’s work
Drama Queen
Welcome to my show Drama Queen
Take a seat at the front row Wear my heart proud on my sleeve
Watch me dance around the stage Drama Queen
Acting every part I play Making the most out of nothing
Feeling not breathing
Tell me I'm insane Don't you mess with my mood
Too much water in my brain Drama Queen
I'm here to entertain What you get is what you see
High on emotional pain
I can be calm and controlled Please don't tell me to calm down
Purer than gold It'll only make things worse
Sweet as apple pie You can laugh it all you want
Or I can burn you like a flare Try to make me hurt
Your biggest nightmare But I use these tears as bullets
Devil in disguise To shoot you down
Rosie Posey
I did all the work Now my time is up
I passed all the tests And they cut me off
But still I don't know what it all was for Just a fly in their web of lies
I played all the games A beautiful ruse
Gave my soul away Cracked disguise
And still I don't know what it all was for Masters of artifice
It's now or never, won't get any better
I dreamed I'd fit into their wicked schemes
Got burned by their dead eyes lookin down at me Ashes, ashes, they all fall down
Almost a victim to their disease One after another in this rose colored town
Ashes, ashes, their pockets empty now
Ring around and around again One replace the other and spin right back
Never trust anyone you call a friend around
Tear you down, only hungry for the crown
Ring around their rosie posey lives
Prom Night
Did I tell you, how good you look tonight? If I had a dime, for how many times
Well I meant to, but the words didn't come out right I've been looked aside
I don't know how to act I'd run away with you, and fly to paradise
All my senses are gone But this isn't a fairytale, no happy ending
It makes me laugh, how could I miss My prince charming found a different shoe
What I never had?
Put on my party dress Put on my party dress
Wear a fake smile Wipe away the tears
Watch as my hopes are crushed under Watch as my hopes are crushed under
High heeled shoes High heeled shoes
Cause it's prom night I know I sound bitter, it's not your fault
You're dancing with her Things like these fall apart
And I'm dancing alone And maybe in another life
You look happy, that's all I want It would be you and I tonight
So I'll drink my punch and leave you alone So I'll save my slow dance, for myself
