Lyrics:
falling backwards, upside down
I got too high, I lost myself
this never ending wall of sound
you can’t avoid the void
falling backwards, upside down
I got too high, I lost myself
this never ending wall of sound
you can’t avoid the void

Lyrics:
my head is a house
with long halls, red lights, no doors
had to make it a home all by myself
always something to fix
dark thoughts, blue pills, tight grip
when it’s all that you know
you get used to it
I’m homesick
from living with myself
made an exit plan
but i left it on the shelf
I’ve been so obsessed
with romanticizing death
I know how the story ends
but how do you live when
you don’t wanna die anymore?
just thinking out loud
thought I’d be gone by now
so what do I do with all this extra time I got?
sink into the couch
the drugs don’t work, I found
when it’s all that you know
how do you not self-destruct?
I’m homesick
from living with myself
made an exit plan
but I left it on the shelf
I’ve been so obsessed
with romanticizing death
I know how the story ends
but how do you live when
you don’t wanna die anymore?
how do you live when
you don’t wanna die anymore?
when your head feels like a cage
just try not to self medicate
that awful sound inside your brain
that’s telling you it’s all a waste
when you can’t numb or kill the pain
just call your friends, they feel the same
don’t keep it in, you’ll go insane
how do you live when
you don’t wanna die anymore?

Lyrics:
when I was a kid, had a crush on the one
one day he’s gonna crush my skull
couldn’t see his face but I knew that someday
real soon he’s gonna take my soul
I told my parents that we would run away
and my mom cried all night
we kissed til sunrise
you know he’s gonna take me either way
thought fifteen was right, so happy I was wrong
I’m sick of kissing death
I’d rather be friends, I know how this ends
I’m sick of kissing death
Give me a break til I’m back in your bed
I’m sick of kissing death
and then I grew up
what the fuck were you doing
hanging out with all the kids like me?
I’m just gonna run for as long as I can
if you stay the hell away from me
told my therapist I’m yours to take
and she got wide eyed
showed my dark side
She said, one day you’ll find a better way
No late night calling, til he comes crawling
I’m sick of kissing death
I’d rather be friends, I know how this ends
I’m sick of kissing death
Give me a break til I’m back in your bed
I’m sick of kissing death
I’d rather be friends, I know how this ends
I’m sick of kissing death
Give me a break til I’m back in your bed
I’m sick of kissing death

Lyrics:
hold me close, hold me right
take my hand til the end of the night
in my skin, like a knife
unafraid of the dark that I see in your eyes
like spirals sinking, down we go
ultraviolet skin starts to glow
oblivion for two
me and you, til the colors fade
I know what to do
how to move, dance the pain away
oblivion for two
in this room, you’re my sweet escape
I know what to do
lie with you til we disintegrate
let me go down in flames
I’m not scared of the mess
of the hurt we could make
In my head (in my head)
you’re a blade (you’re a blade)
that I reach for whenever he’s calling my name
like spirals sinking, down we go
ultraviolet skin starts to glow
oblivion for two
me and you, til the colors fade
I know what to do
how to move, dance the pain away
oblivion for two
in this room, you’re my sweet escape
I know what to do
lie with you til we disintegrate
the edge of the world
is at the foot of this bed
afraid I’ll fall if I look
but I’m not ready yet
It’s the end of the world
and we’re right at the ledge
but would it be so bad
if we’re the only ones left?

Lyrics:
I swear I’m living purely out of spite
I do it just so I can say I tried
fuck forgiveness, I want vengeance baby
swear I’m gonna have you hypnotized
ruin yours just like you ruined mine
it’s my toxic masochistic daydream
the crush the feelings rushing back
I recreate the love I lack
and when it doesn’t work out
do it all again
I’m just looking for another high
just another way to waste my time
I’m just looking for another high
I’m just looking for a way back down
something loud for me to drown the sound
a sweeter poison til i’m underground
how do you do it, how to keep going
it’s all consuming to live in the moment
how do you live when you
don’t wanna die anymore?
the crush the feelings rushing back
I recreate the love I lack
and when it doesn’t work out
do it all again
I’m just looking for another high
just another way to waste my time
I’m just looking for another high
I’m just looking for a way back down
something loud for me to drown the sound
a sweeter poison til i’m underground
I’m just looking for another high
I’m just looking for another high
I’m just looking for another high
just another way to waste my time
I’m just looking for another high

Lyrics:
walking hourglass, having fun
while you waste one more night
watch the hours pass, one by one
but if I was you, I’d
drink it up til it’s gone
taste it on my tongue
coming down, feel the rush
fire in my lungs
too much is still not enough
taste it on my tongue
coming down, feel the rush
blackout like the sun
I wanna know
what it’s like
to feel your heart beating from the inside
take your soul, for the night
lose control, end up in the afterlife
end up in the afterlife
I don’t understand
letting sand slip right through your hands
if you’re not using it
why not let me into your skin?
take it out for a spin
drink it up til it’s gone
taste it on my tongue
coming down, feel the rush
fire in my lungs
too much is still not enough
taste it on my tongue
coming down, feel the rush
blackout like the sun
I wanna know
what it’s like
to feel your heart beating from the inside
take your soul, for the night
lose control, end up in the afterlife
end up in the afterlife
end up in the afterlife

Lyrics:
I heard a rumor that there’s gold under the streets
I got a shovel, tasted blood between my teeth
I made some enemies who pray for my defeat
this winding road is way more twisted than it seems
no matter how far I go,
I’m still running away
nobody here, on my own
I keep losing my faith
Oh my god, I’m caught in a dream
don’t believe a thing that I see
fooled me once with a fantasy
then the sun went down and took it from me
Mirage
don’t need to see how far it goes
you’ll get lost
in the mirage
swear I’d be happy in a red Mercedes benz
one day I wake up and my old ripped jeans still fit
star on the pavement
standing ovation
more validation, I
cash in my savings
take a vacation
maybe I’d feel alright
no matter how far I go,
I’m still running away
nobody here, on my own
I keep losing my faith
Oh my god, I’m caught in a dream
don’t believe a thing that I see
fooled me once with a fantasy
then the sun went down and took it from me
Mirage
don’t need to see how far it goes
you’ll get lost
in the mirage

Lyrics:
come closer to me
don’t be scared
I got exactly what you need
I’ll be fair
stay for a little
make yourself at home
oh, do you feel alright?
your drink is going cold
I made it just for you
don’t you like the taste?
every time you move’s a fatal mistake
now I got you in my web
blood rushing to your head
I’ll leave you with my toxins
toxins
now you’re my new favorite toy
to play with and enjoy
I’ll leave you with my toxins
toxins
come closer to me
don’t be scared
the one before you couldn't see
how much I care
I’m spinning through your mind
everywhere you go
now you’re in a bind
caught in my silver rope
caught in my silver rope
now I got you in my web
blood rushing to your head
I’ll leave you with my toxins
toxins
now you’re my new favorite toy
to play with and enjoy
I’ll leave you with my toxins
Toxins

LYRICS:
it could always be worse
it’s not like he’s a criminal
I know I’m not his first
in my bed, he’s incredible
when I’m cold, he wraps me in his arms
and I’m under his control
and it almost stops my heart
He’s the one, he’s the one, he’s the one
I’m in love with the reaper
He’s the one, he’s the one, the only one I want
He’s a keeper
Ooh oh, I’m in love
Ooh oh, I’m in love
Ooh oh, I’m in love
Ooh oh, I’m in love with the reaper
it’s not easy to find something dependable
I don’t care that he thinks my life is expendable
at least he’s reliable
when I’m cold, he wraps me in his arms
and I’m under his control
and it almost stops my heart
He’s the one, he’s the one, he’s the one
I’m in love with the reaper
He’s the one, he’s the one, the only one I want
He’s a keeper
Ooh oh, I’m in love
Ooh oh, I’m in love
Ooh oh, I’m in love
Ooh oh, I’m in love with the reaper

LYRICS:
it only hurts if you stop
so keep the bottle close
fix me up and shut me down with chemicals
close your eyes and breathe in
wake up all alone
and wonder where you lost control
scared to go to sleep
hiding underneath
there’s a
darker side of me
I don’t wanna meet
hanging by a thread
trapped in my head
i’m spiraling out until all the
poison fills my chest
helps me forget
cause i’ll never learn til I see red
no, I’ll never learn til I see red
no, I’ll never learn til I see red
until I see the damage
there’s no damage done
need a reason for me not to self-destruct
who said it gets better?
what if it never does?
what kind of monster will I become?
scared to go to sleep
hiding underneath
there’s a
darker side of me
I don’t wanna meet
hanging by a thread
trapped in my head
i’m spiraling out until all the
poison fills my chest
helps me forget
cause i’ll never learn til I see red
no, I’ll never learn til I see red
no, I’ll never learn til I see red
until I see my reflection looking back at me, I won’t
until my see my disposition change
until I’m barely
hanging by a thread
trapped in my head
i’m spiraling out until all the
poison fills my chest
helps me forget
cause i’ll never learn til I see red
no, I’ll never learn til I see red
no, I’ll never learn til I see red

LYRICS:
I was told to sit here quietly
so I never talked to strangers
so what happens when I need to feed
and I can’t tell what’s love from danger?
and it looks so sweet but what’s underneath
leaves much to be desired
flying to the light, no end in sight
it was only just a fire
and I just can’t sleep on amphetamines
they only make me tired
when the night hurts, and I’m wired
I got a sick and twisted fascination
my own decimation
me and Icarus are cut from the same cloth
searching for velvet sensations
falling for temptation
curiosity killed the moth
I could sit and wither idly
clip my wings, instead I’m soaring
even if it ends up violently
at least you’d never call me boring
and it looks so sweet but what’s underneath
leaves much to be desired
flying to the light, no end in sight
it was only just a fire
and I just can’t sleep on amphetamines
they only make me tired
when the night hurts, and I’m wired
I got a sick and twisted fascination
my own decimation
me and Icarus are cut from the same cloth
searching for velvet sensations
falling for temptation
curiosity killed the moth

Lyrics:
Tulsa, Oklahoma in 1995
they all said what a blessing I had arrived
but I was born with a curse
in a perfect suburb
and it only got worse
I was drawn to the dark
with the devil’s mark
I was doomed from the start
I wanna be cool
tried to be wild
everyone said I was a gifted child
punctured my skin
pulled me apart
guess I was doomed
I was doomed from the start
Wednesdays, I had church
I prayed I’d make a friend
If I knew what he could do
i would’ve never gone in
if only I knew then cause
I was born with a curse
in a perfect suburb
and it only got worse
I was drawn to the dark
with the devil’s mark
I was doomed from the start
I wanna be cool
tried to be wild
everyone said I was a gifted child
punctured my skin
pulled me apart
guess I was doomed
I was doomed from the start
I wanna be cool
tried to be wild
everyone said I was a gifted child
punctured my skin
pulled me apart
guess I was doomed
I was doomed from the start

This is a twisted, surreal version of my origin story.
This is for the younger version of me who romanticized death for a decade, and the lasting impact it had on me as I searched for an easier, softer way to exist.
From a rebellious teenager in suburban Oklahoma, to smoke filled dive bars, sleepless nights, addiction, neon lit alleyways, sobriety, desert roads, a toxic love affair, and countless hours of therapy… Oh, and did I mention dancing cowboys?
You are cordially invited to follow along as I unfold the twelve chapters of my upcoming album, Kissing Death.

Lyrics:
VERSE:
Cutting ties with the angel on my shoulder
On my good side, feel like crossing over
I know I shouldn’t but I might
I wanna know what it feels like
In my mind,
see your hands run down my body
like the impulse
won’t come back to haunt me
I wanted to but I didn’t
Make one more bad decision
PRE:
I’m hearing sirens blaring in my head
Don’t need to look down
know I’m on the edge
CHORUS:
I’m hearing sirens blaring in my head
Don’t need to look down
know I’m on the edge
I like the fatal feeling that I get
I’m high off vertigo
when you’re close
when you’re close
vertigo
when you’re close
SOPHIE VERSE 2:
(I see, I see)
I see strawberry colored cherry flavored flags
waving in my eyes
think I died
I hear cruisers rolling by
while i’m standing on the cliff
and it’s a long way down
push me off, I love the rush
Open arms, I hit the ground
Like oooh, I love it
Speeding through the minefield
Oooh, I love it
My death note is signed, sealed
CHORUS:
I’m hearing sirens blaring in my head
Don’t need to look down
know I’m on the edge
I like the fatal feeling that I get
I’m high off vertigo
when you’re close
when you’re close
vertigo
when you’re close
when you’re close
when you’re close
when you’re close
vertigo
vertigo
oh oh
I’m hearing sirens blaring in my head
Don’t need to look down
know I’m on the edge
I like the fatal feeling that I get
I’m high off vertigo
when you’re close
vertigo

LYRICS
Platinum on the wall
Diamonds on your wrist
They sparkle as you fall
And someone sells the clip
A type of devotion
So sweet in slow motion
Now let me see you crawl
Don’t be sad
You’re so adored
And if you cry just press record
Soon they’re knocking at your door for more and more and more
You’re gonna be a star, girl
Don’t you know
Burn so bright and beautiful
How far, girl, will you go?
Climbing up that pedestal
To be
So tragic and rare
They all stop and stare
Looking right through you
Not allowed to age
Change your face, keep it natural
Rat stuck in a cage
Run in place when the cash is low
Red hot supernova
You’ve made it then it’s over
And your close but not the closer
You’re the richest in exposure
You’re a star, girl
Don’t you know
Burn so bright and beautiful
How far, girl, will you go?
Climbing up that pedestal
To be
So tragic and rare
And nobody cares when you need them to
Star
You’re a star girl, now you did it
Star
You’re a star girl, now you’re in it
Star
You’re a star girl, now you did it
Star
You’re a star girl, now you’re in it
Don’t be sad
You’re so adored
And if you cry just press record
Soon they’re knocking at your door for more and more and more
Don’t be sad
You’re so adored
And if you cry just press record
Soon they’re knocking at your door for more
You’re a star girl, now you’re in it

LYRICS
Used to pain
used to putting up a front
people change now I’m getting what I want
Used to be a people pleaser now I please myself
When the moonlight hits, I turn to something else
Step on my neck
now I’m cutthroat
Insomniac
Can’t keep my eyes closed
Switching my ego to dark mode
Watch how I twist like a cyclone
then I go
NIGHTSHIFT
like this
Don’t cross me cause I don’t miss
yeah when I go
NIGHTSHIFT
light switch
Don’t test me cause I won’t flinch
when I go nightshift
when I go nightshift
Why’d you second guess me in the first place?
Told me that I peaked in ‘17 but now you’re thirsty
Now it’s obvious that you don’t (you don’t)
know what you’re talking about
when all you do is tear me down
(hahaha)
Step on my neck
now I’m cutthroat
Insomniac
Can’t keep my eyes closed
Switching my ego to dark mode
Watch how I twist like a cyclone
then I go
NIGHTSHIFT
like this (like this)
Don’t cross me cause I don’t miss
yeah when I go
NIGHTSHIFT
light switch (light switch)
Don’t test me cause I won’t flinch
yeah when I go nightshift
when I go nightshift
When the moonlight hits me,
I turn into somebody else
I don’t even recognize myself
When I go nightshift like this
Don’t cross me cause I don’t miss
yeah when I go nightshift
light switch
Don’t test me cause I won’t flinch
yeah when I go

LYRICS
I’m here awake again
like sleep’s the enemy
Cause when I close my eyes,
I lose my mind in some twisted fantasy,
Cause i don’t know how to relax
I’m all tied up on the tracks
And I feel the pavement shaking
Breaking under me
So I keep singing to myself
Cause it’s the only thing that helps
A lullaby nobody knows
And it goes…
LA LALA LA LA
LALALA LA LA
LA LALA LA LA LA
(and it goes)
I know those hands will tighten
Feels like i’m always fighting
The voices whisper “come and play”
But one, the shadows talking
Can’t escape the omen
It’s haunting me
Still stalking me
So I keep singing to myself
Like it’s the only thing that helps
A lullaby nobody knows
And it goes…
LA LALA LA LA
LALALA LA LA
LA LALA LA LA LA
(and it goes)
Sometimes, all you need is a little lullaby to lull you into a deep slumber when you have trouble sleeping and the ruckus of the day is reverberating through your brain. Let this melody crawl into your ear and make itself at home.
and it goes…
LA LALA LA LA
LALALA LA LA
LA LALA LA LA LA
(and it goes)

LYRICS
Stay busy, don’t think too much
Don’t speak up, play it safe
Don’t bother to ask for help
You’ll ruin someone’s day
Be pretty, pretty mean to yourself
Keep running til you’re weak
This is what I tell myself
All night
Nothing good happens after 2am
So I stay in bed
Replaying in my head
I’m clawing at my skin and I’m so
Terrified
That I’ll waste my life
In fear
In fear
I’m good but not good enough
For 26 years old
I don’t know what I want
So I keep chasing gold
Lying at therapy,
So they’re not scared of me
I’m getting scared of me, I know
Nothing good happens after 2am
So I stay in bed
Replaying in my head
I’m clawing at my skin and I’m so
Terrified
That I’ll waste my life
In fear
In fear
Cause I hate what I see when I’m looking at me
I don’t wanna exist, I don’t wanna be seen
I’m fading, so jaded
by the weight of the words I’ve been telling myself
Maybe I should just turn into somebody else
Erase me, replace me
Ahhh Ahhh Ahhh Ahh Ahh Ahh
Ahhh Ahhh Ahhh Ahh Ahh Ahh

LYRICS
You love the drugs
But you shame the addict
Flex your new car
But can’t stand the traffic
Would you read the story
If the ending isn’t tragic?
Can't have the noise
Without all the static
Pick me apart
So you can see
Which of the parts
To keep and to leave
So I look just how you think I should be
You want the high high high high lights
Not when I hate hate hate my life
Things I don’t show you in the light
But when you look twice
You’ll see the fault lines
You want the high high high high lights
Not when I hate hate hate my life
Things i don’t show you in the light
But when you look twice
You’ll see the fault lines
You’ll see the scars I'm hiding,
Tongue I’m biting,
Weight crushing my chest so tightly
Reasons I compare myself
The hair that keeps on falling out
The fucked up things I think about like
Maybe I should kill myself
If I fall, will it make a sound
If nobody‘s around?
You want the high high high high lights
Not when I hate hate hate my life
Things I don’t show you in the light
But when you look twice
It’s just the highlights
You want the high high high high lights
Not when I hate hate hate my life
Things I don’t show you in the light
But when you look twice
You’ll see the fault lines
Highlights, highlights
My life, my life
The light, the light
But when you look twice
You’ll see the fault lines
But when you look twice
It’s just the highlights

LYRICS
Tried self destruction
Til I couldn’t function
I hurt myself, hated myself
It didn’t help me
Tried self control
Tried letting go
To heal myself, I went to hell
I hope you know
What it’s like to fight your mind
When your skin still crawls at night
I pretend that I’m alright
Til the lights go out
Don’t got a need for sleep
Stuck in a lucid dream
Daylights not for me
That’s why I’m nocturnal
Hate when the morning comes
It’s light that i’m running from
Can’t fly too close to the sun
That’s why I’m nocturnal
(ha ha ha haha ha ha)
That’s why I’m nocturnal
Lost in the static
I can’t move past it
I got this far, I need the dark
A little madness
A little patience, some kind of saving
Keep circling, to find another light worth chasing
I pretend that I’m alright
Til the lights go out
Don’t got a need for sleep
Stuck in a lucid dream
Daylights not for me
That’s why I’m nocturnal
Hate when the morning comes
It’s light that I’m running from
Can’t fly too close to the sun
That’s why I’m nocturnal
(ha ha ha haha ha ha)
That’s why I’m nocturnal
(ha ha ha ha)
That’s why I’m nocturnal
That’s why I’m nocturnal
I pretend that I’m alright…

LYRICS
think i’m gonna sabotage with no warning
crash and burn, say something i’ll regret
know i shouldn’t fall back into old patterns
compare myself to every girl you’ve ever met
and I can't blame you for someone else’s mistakes
and I don’t want to push you away but I still
Relive every moment
hoping you don't notice
you just tripped a red light in my mind
you tell me to trust you
swear to God I try to
I still got some scars from the last time
iiii, iiii
relive every moment in my mind
iiii, iiiiiii,
I still got some scars from the last time
I let you in
goddamn, it’s fucking scary
you let your guard down
like it’s nothing
I’m used to dysfunction
get drunk and fight about it
you wanna just talk it out
and I can't blame you for someone else’s mistakes
and I don’t want to push you away but I still
Relive every moment
hoping you don't notice
you just tripped a red light in my mind
you tell me to trust you
swear to God I try to
I still got some scars from the last time
iiii, iiii
relive every moment in my mind
iiii, iiii
I still got some scars from the last time

LYRICS
there once was a girl
who trusted everyone she met
until she passed out
and woke up in the lion's den
now she always looks over her shoulder
won’t let anybody get closer
a stranger’s a villain you haven’t run away from yet
but when she falls asleep
she controls everything
an emerald hurricane
rose from the chaos
so don’t get in the way
cause she’s a tidal wave
here comes the reckoning
you made your bed now lie in it
wash the blood, lady macbeth
used to be an optimist
now she’s a loaded gun
whatcha running from
pop a melatonin
sweet dreams in 3...2...1…
cause when she falls asleep
she controls everything
an emerald hurricane
rose from the chaos
so don’t get in the way
cause she’s a tidal wave
here comes the reckoning

LYRICS
I’m drinking poison
and expecting you to die
it’s suffocating me
might not get out alive
It's coursing through my veins
an envy green so bright
intoxicating, all my senses amplified
I’m holding onto anger with a clenched fist (ooh)
knuckles start to bleed from all the tension, (ooh)
know that i should quit but i get jealous, (ooh)
my mind is reckless
you’re my ABSINTHE
you’re twisted like dark magic
you're glowing and the
absinthe makes the heart grow bitter
when it hits, my vision flickers
ABSINTHE
you always leave me tragic
one look at her she’s straight from hell,
she’ll take you with her
absinthe makes the heart grow bitter
it’s no mystery you’re bad for my health
I only hate you cause i’m hating myself
so i hitch a ride on a cursed carousel
next to all the other people who compete with themselves
but what would happen if I trusted myself?
i used to be afraid, but i got stories to tell
even if they try to keep my songs on a shelf
behind smoke and mirrors, i’ll bid you farewell
ABSINTHE
you’re twisted like dark magic
you're glowing and the
absinthe makes the heart grow bitter
when it hits, my vision flickers
ABSINTHE
you always leave me tragic
one look at her she’s straight from hell,
she’ll take you with her
absinthe makes the heart grow bitter
absinthe, ohhh, my absinthe, ohhh
absinthe makes the heart grow bitter
when it hits, my vision flickers
absinthe, ohhh, my absinthe, ohhh
straight from hell, she’ll take you with her
absinthe makes the heart grow bitter

LYRICS
Sleepwalk
Instead of dreaming, i sleepwalk
Cause I lost you
And now, what am I to do?
Can't believe that we're through
Sleeptalk
Cause I miss you
I sleeptalk
While the memory of you
Lingers like a song
Darling, I was so wrong…
