Maybe State 03:55
It was so effing lonely walking into that cold rain like that me with my one big carry on that you made me so sad You hate this city you hate this house and yet this city is where i open my mouth Do you hate that too? Do you hate what comes out of me when i go into it with you? I'm in a maybe state You called me names Now borders and blame's Between us We were blocked like the red states And all of their games Now loans and owes between us The rain is increasingly colder I am always getting older You're a mountain I'm a boulder And it's hard I wanna take it all off I wanna get what you got I bet you get that a lot And it's hard And all the signs say All the signs say All the signs say Leave your mark I guess i did Are you just sick of it I'm in a maybe state You called me names Now borders and blame's Between us You held a heavy bank The gas i need in my tank Now exes and ohs Between us Now the viewers are all viewing the teens are all tuned in It's this maybe state that i'm in c + p Capital B Music (BMI)

We're in Jersey, Debbie Gibson just played "I will never love again now that we're apart" even the sun is hiding and we are all grey raindrops on windows let's see what they say Grass will grow from all these tears Rain will come and I'll be here for all these years for all these years what's the point, what's the point of that I was born to rock and roll music was my only soul now muse became you that's you and the road that's what i know that's what i know Now driveways and drive-bys are my only home for the night it's you on the other end of some telephone wire that's what i know that's what i know Take me tar me make me and mar me write on the window you skate me and scar me it's the longest road from here are you my sister in chlor-o-sphere are we keeping up by atmosphere we're water from the sky we're water from the sky Some things you just have to shake off this stop was one of them just effing let me off you're like a dirty gas station bathroom that's locked I'll never open nope nope just kick and hope nope nope I'll never open just kick and hope We're in Jersey, Debbie Gibson just played "I will never love again now that we're apart" even the sun is hiding and we are all grey raindrops on windows let's see what they say c + p Capital B Music (BMI)

Close the front door, take your shoes off trade your wander-lust for my itty bitty fire I've been waiting for you to remember me It's a harsh world, sure can be a cold place If you don't have someone to kiss your face When it doesn't make sense There's a whole lot of reasons to keep yourself far away If we call on the angel of love dimension I wonder what she'd say I know that our love won't save the starving and broken i don't forget we're all little crystals shattered to the ground I do what i can do I try to remember to remember to remember that there's all these little pieces i just can't see waiting to be found I keep on sweeping, I keep my eyes open plant some roses in the garden and whisper your name to the midnight sky because with you i feel real love I have to think it's a great big love in this little life game We could do a little dancing to some of our old songs we could move to our heartbeat there we don't go wrong I'm gonna make us some hot tea Maybe spike it with a little bit of you love me Throw a towel on the lamp because it's way too bright We'll turn and we'll turn til we turn the night into our thing Our little bitty love thing it's the power-of-two thing if you don't count chance Or maybe the notion that something watches over All supposed to be lovers who've lost their way I'm gonna blow our cover and say the only thing left to say Close the front door, take your shoes off trade your wander-lust for my itty bitty fire I've been waiting for you to remember me c + p Nemesis Publishing (BMI)

There were diamonds fake rugs lots of beer lots of fear there were promises like gold that smell wet and old But there were lights like ancient times fire made and songs of chimes there were glass beads delicate like me There was violation Like capitalist nation And there were girls There are girls Like me   There were woven minutes  Like colonized india There were companies Making no comfortable company There were lots of us  there and there We were holding our signs up In the square There were shiny teeth They were smiling at me They were opening offering and talking They were opening offering and talking They were opening offering  and talking c + p Capital B Music (BMI)

O, Packaging 03:33
You came to me in the mail, in a box You said let's say which way your mouth talks You were my plastic friend You were my women men You stuck to me til the end and i stuck too O, packaging! You are the bain of me Somehow you made me O, packaging! You tried to break building blocks You put up the doors you hung on the locks You hung your sign open, As soon as I knocked You shut on me too and I shut you I, dentity! You are the bain of me Yet somehow you named me Identity! The gold goes up, the silver goes down There's no way to make your paper weigh pounds It's all based on nothing but human belief And loose ground, what a relief! O money! You are the bain of me Yet somehow you paid me Oh money! La da da la la da da la la da da la la The prisons were filled with kids The subways all smelled like piss There was nowhere to pee It's not you and me but it's me and you O, city! You are the bain of me Yet somehow you claimed me O, city! O, packaging! You are the bain of me But somehow you made me O, packaging! c + p Capital B Music (BMI)

about

Bitch Los Angeles, California

The longstanding queer music icon Bitch makes witchy poet pop. She does it with violins and synthesizers, and the songs she writes are spectral, heartbreaking, political, and beautiful. "Bitchcraft" is like Joni Mitchell set to a click track, it’s queer Cyndi Lauper. It’s neon pink, in your face, ready to hex you with its brilliance. ... more
