"Kitchen Song" Lyrics:
If you’re going to the kitchen
Leave the door ajar a crack
Cause I just wanna keep on listening
And I can’t wait until you’re back
God I love it when you’re near me
I love the lines around your eyes
And all at once I see it clearly
And I’d spend a lifetime by your side
And I’ll give you all my love
I’ll give you all my love
Ain’t no symphony, No VIP, there ain’t no sweeter drug
Than just giving you my love
One, two, three, and four
Quick come kiss me at the door
I don’t need a lot when we got flowers at the store
Hey hey hey
So let your castle take my pawn
Let the dogs out on the lawn
And I will write you kitchen songs
And I’ll give you all my love
I’ll give you all my love
Ain’t no symphony, No VIP, there ain’t no sweeter drug
Than just giving you my love
Than just giving you my love
Than just giving you my love
Than just giving you my love

"BREAKDOWN" Lyrics:
I cried in line waiting for my turn
And I lied to my mom I guess I never learn
And every day is the same, feel like i’m going insane, the only friend I have is my phone
I hate the taste of being all alone
So throw your hands up if you’re feeling it too
We’re getting banged up tryna run from the truth
for all the kicking and screaming and fighting the feeling of working it through
Singing hey-o, hey-o-o-o
I need your hands now if you’re ready to shout
I’m going batshit, and I’m burning it down
for all the kicking and screaming and fighting the feeling of working it through
Singing hey-o, hey-o-o-o
I am the force of 60 thousand leagues
To know my voice is to know the power in me
And there’s a thirst in my blood, and there’s a fire in my love, no high or low do I lack
I went to hell, but now I’m coming back
So throw your hands up if you’re feeling it too
We’re getting banged up tryna run from the truth
for all the kicking and screaming and fighting the feeling of working it through
Singing hey-o, hey-o-o-o
I need your hands now if you’re ready to shout
I’m going batshit, and I’m burning it down
for all the kicking and screaming and fighting the feeling of working it through
Singing hey-o, hey-o-o-o
I’m gonna have a breakdown
I’m gonna have a breakdown
I’m gonna have a breakdown breakdown
so keep keep on holding me close
i’m gonna have a breakdown breakdown
so keep keep on letting me go
I need your hands now if you’re feeling it too
We’re getting banged up tryna run from the truth
for all the kicking and screaming and fighting the feeling of working it through
Singing hey-o, hey-o-o-o
Give me your hands now if you’re ready to shout
I’m going batshit, and I’m burning it down
for all the kicking and screaming and fighting the feeling of working it through
Singing hey-o, hey-o-o-o
I’m gonna have a breakdown breakdown
so keep keep on holding me close
i’m gonna have a breakdown breakdown
so keep keep on letting me go
I’m gonna have a breakdown

Tessa Violet's 'I Like (the idea of) You' and 'Prelude' from Bad Ideas: The Experience
lyrics:
I'm insecure
Of that I'm sure
Don't need a counselor or seminar to see
And even when it's only you and me
There seems to be
Somethin' that you keep behind your teeth
You think I would know
How this would go
But maybe that's exactly what I wanted
No need to hope
Count to three
You get what you see
And every time you go out here thinkin'
Maybe it's me
Mmm...
You think I'd know better by now
I've got a radar for trouble and you're a renegade
I take a leap, then I stumble while you are unafraid
I keep repeating, repeating the way you say my name
Oh, oh
(Mm-mm-mm)
I try convincing my friends that you're not right for me
We just don't make any sense, but still you fight for me
I keep repeating, repeating the way we shouldn't be
Oh, oh
Tessa Violet's prelude and I Like (the idea of) You from Bad Ideas The Experience.
But I like the idea-dea of you
I like the idea-dea of you
Wonder how it'd be, be to love you
I like the idea-dea of you
Ooh
I know I shouldn't be guessing but you're impressing me
And I can't help reading into what you've been texting me
I keep repeating, repeating the way we shouldn't be
Oh, oh
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
And yeah, I know I don't need it, but wouldn't it be neat?
We fall in love with a feeling, just feeling you and me
I keep repeating, repeating the way we shouldn't be
Oh, oh
But I like the idea-dea of you
I like the idea-dea of you
Wonder how it'd be, be to love you
I like the idea-dea of you
I like the idea-dea of you
I like the idea-dea of you
Wonder how it'd be, be to love you
I like the idea-dea of you
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Get everything that you want, my love, my time, my money
You think I'd learn but I love your touch is sweet like honey
There's nothing I wouldn't do to hear you call me funny
Guess I'm a sucker for you
Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh!
I like the idea-dea of you
I like the idea-dea of you
Wonder how it'd be, be to love you
I like the idea-dea of you
I like the idea-dea of you
I like the idea-dea of you
Wonder how it'd be, be to love you
I like the idea-dea of you

Tessa Violet's 'Bad Ideas' live from Bad Ideas: the Experience
lyrics:
I hope that you don't think I'm rude
but I wanna make out with you
and I'm a little awkward, sure
but I could touch my face to yours, oh
and no one ever called me smooth
but I just wanna see the grooves between your hands, your teeth, oh
tell me, do you think about me?
i just wanna kiss you
and even if I miss you
at least I'll know what it's like to have held your hand, oh!
no-o, hey!
bad idees, ay (Oh!)
i know where they leap (Hey, oh!)
but I have too many to sleepy
and I can't got enough, no
i wanna kiss you standing up
oh-oh, no!
and if tomorrow makes me low (No!)
well it'd be worth it just to know
'cause I can't gut enough, no
i wanna kiss you starning up
O-oh!
Hey!
I don't know what compels me
To do the very thing that fells me
I wake up, still high on you
but by the night, I'm crashing through, so
So why'd I wanna kiss you
Evens though I miss you
Guess I just wanted to know what it would feel like, oh!
No-o, hey!
Bad ideas, ay (Oh!)
I know where they lead (Hey, oh!)
But I have too many to sleep
And I can't get enough, no
I wanna kiss you standing up
o-oh, no!
and if tomorrow males me low (No!)
well it'd be worth it just to know
'Cause I can't get enough, no
I wanna kiss you standing up
o-oh!
smitten's a bad look on me
and if I'm talking honestly
it takes everything I got not to text, and
i just want a kiss to get me through
'cause now all my bedsheets smell like you, so
if you think you miss me
come on back and kiss me
i just gotta know what you and I would feel like, oh!
no-o, hey!
yikes
bad ideas, ay (Oh!)
i know where they lead (Hey, oh!)
but I have too many to sleep
and I can't get enough, no
i wanna kiss you standing up
oh-oh, no!
and if tomorrow makes me low (No!)
well it'd be worth it just to know
'cause I can't get enough, no-o
i wanna kiss you standing up
oh-oh!

Tessa Violet's 'Honest' from Bad Ideas: The Experience
lyrics:
here's the truth: my strength ain't being honest
I mostly work from wanting to be wanted
and if there's something else well-
I'm not sure if I got it
and come the night, I'm never really solid
guess I'm not doing well x4
I'm no good tonight no
I don't feel alright at all
guess I'm not doing well x2
1 2 3 ands 4
how long till I feel like myself again and
I'd walk out the door but where would I go?
try and hide from what's inside you
you can run but you can't hide oh
where would I go? where would you go?
hey hey hey no
flatteries my choice of weapon
poison tastes like my resentment
where would I go? where would you go?
hey hey hey no
Oh, sometimes I feel like there's nowhere else to go
And every road I take is leading me back
And lonely is the girl who doesn't let it show
But every road I take is leading me back
Funny to notice that about yourself like all at once
I realize I didn't want to see it
And if I been going crazy, maybe it's because
I keep on telling myself a story
That I should be doing fine by now
Hey, hey
It's okay
Hey, hey
You're okay

LYRICS:
I don’t want a piece of that
cause I know there’s no peace in that
I can tell myself a thousand times
but you can make a toy of me and I’ll agree that
maybe I just couldn’t see, couldn’t see that
there ain’t nothing wrong with us at all
(Chorus)
but you keep on playing games with me games (GAMES)
and you always gotta play with me (PLAY)
and I hate the way you break and you take and you tear me down
boy, you really oughta knock it off right now
I know I should trust my gut
cause I know that there’s something up
I just hate the place that that path would lead me down
and you say that there’s nothing wrong and I long to take you at your word but then all along you’re hiding even when you’re by my side
(Chorus)
but ya keep on playing games with me games (GAMES)
and you always gotta play with me (PLAY)
and I hate the way you break and you take and you tear me down
boy, you really oughta knock it off right now
you lying and everything with you is trying and I don’t wanna keep on crying if I’m the only one
and I been telling everyone I’m fine but I feel like I lost my mind (AH!) am I the only one?
if I knew it all along was I wrong to take you at your word but then all along you’re hiding even when you’re by my side
(Chorus)
but ya keep on playing games with me games (GAMES)
and you always gotta play with me (PLAY)
and I hate the way you break and you take and you tear me down
boy, you really oughta knock it off right now
games with me (GAMES)
and you always gotta play with me (PLAY)
and I hate the way you break and you take and you tear me down
boy, you really oughta knock it off right now

LYRICS:
I don’t want a piece of that
cause I know there’s no peace in that
I can tell myself a thousand times
but you can make a toy of me and I’ll agree that
maybe I just couldn’t see, couldn’t see that
there ain’t nothing wrong with us at all
(Chorus)
but you keep on playing games with me games (GAMES)
and you always gotta play with me (PLAY)
and I hate the way you break and you take and you tear me down
boy, you really oughta knock it off right now
I know I should trust my gut
cause I know that there’s something up
I just hate the place that that path would lead me down
and you say that there’s nothing wrong and I long to take you at your word but then all along you’re hiding even when you’re by my side
(Chorus)
but ya keep on playing games with me games (GAMES)
and you always gotta play with me (PLAY)
and I hate the way you break and you take and you tear me down
boy, you really oughta knock it off right now
you lying and everything with you is trying and I don’t wanna keep on crying if I’m the only one
and I been telling everyone I’m fine but I feel like I lost my mind (AH!) am I the only one?
if I knew it all along was I wrong to take you at your word but then all along you’re hiding even when you’re by my side
(Chorus)
but ya keep on playing games with me games (GAMES)
and you always gotta play with me (PLAY)
and I hate the way you break and you take and you tear me down
boy, you really oughta knock it off right now
games with me (GAMES)
and you always gotta play with me (PLAY)
and I hate the way you break and you take and you tear me down
boy, you really oughta knock it off right now

LYRICS:
VERSE 1
I don't want a piece of that, cause I know there's no peace in that
I could tell myself a thousand times
But you can make a toy of me and I'll agree that
Maybe I just couldn't see, couldn't see that
There ain't nothing wrong with us at all
CHORUS
But you keep on playing games with me (games)
and you always gotta play with me (play)
and I hate the way you break and you take and you tear me down
Boy you really oughta knock it off right now
VERSE 2
I know I should trust my gut, cause I know that there's something up
I just hate the place that that path would lead me down
and you can make a toy of me and i'll agree that
maybe I just couldn't see, couldn't see that
there aIn't nothing wrong with us at all
BRIDGE
You're lying, and everything with you is trying
and I don't want to keep on crying
If i'm the only one
and I been telling everyone i'm fine but
I feel like i lost my mind
Am I the only one?

"Wishful Drinking" Lyrics:
Separate me from the rest of the herd so
I can run away from all of my hurt, oh
Drink what I want
Be what I want
Say what you want me to say, like
I can pretend that I don't want to end I'm afraid
(I'm dangerous)
Weave a story so I don't have to talk, no
It's not a problem if I never get caught, oh
Drink what I want
Be what I want
Say what you want me to say, like
I can pretend that I don't want to end I'm afraid
(I'm dangerous)
Oh, wishful drinking
Tell myself that I'm not thinking 'bout
How I could drown, drown, drown, drown
Wishful drinking now
(Hey)
Wishful drinking
Go ahead and stop your thinking now
And throw it down, down, down, down
Wishful drinking now
(Ahhh)
Hide your demons where no one can see 'em
Out of sight but in your mind you believe them
Drink what you want
Be what you want
Say what they want you to say, like
I can pretend that I don't want to end I'm afraid
(Ahhh)
Do you think, do you think that they notice?
I keep a bottle by my bed, it's the focus
Drink what I want
Be what I want
Say what they want you to say, like
I can pretend that I don't want to end I'm afraid
(I'm dangerous)
Oh, wishful drinking
Tell myself that I'm not thinking 'bout
How I could drown, drown, drown, drown
Wishful drinking now
Wishful drinking
Go ahead and stop your thinking now
And throw it down, down, down, down
Wishful drinking now
This is not a problem if I don't want it to stop
Can't call it a problem if I never let a plate drop
This is not a problem if convincing that it's not
Don't call it a problem, it's the only thing that I still got
Hey, oh, hey, oh no
Down, down, down,
Wishful drinking now
Oh, wishful drinking
Tell myself that I'm not thinking 'bout
How I could drown, drown, drown, drown
Wishful drinking now
Wishful drinking
Go ahead and stop your thinking now
And throw it down, down, down, down
Wishful drinking now

"Words Ain't Enough" Lyrics:
You’re fire you’re proud
but you’re cold when it counts
it’s open and shut
you can say you love me but words ain’t enough
you want me you say
but then you turn away
and I’m pressing my luck
you can say you love me but words ain’t enough
cut myself into pieces easy to chew
carve me up into someone you’d like to choose
till I’m only pieces of you
so you can say you love me but words ain’t enough
so you can say you love me but words ain’t enough
