Box Of Dreams

Lyrics, ,

I had begun to dream
You didn’t think I could
It was just out of reach
I tried to prove I would
But reality set in
And it’s slipping away
All while I’m drowning
With each dying day

I’m not special
I can’t do this
I try and I fail
I fail and I miss
From start to finish
You knew the truth
I fail and I miss
This is your proof

It’s too late to start
I left my dreams behind
In the towns I passed
One country at a time
With my home in sight
My life where I left it
I’m losing this fight
Tell me this isn’t it

I’m not special
I can’t do this
I try and I fail
I fail and I miss
From start to finish
You knew the truth
I fail and I miss
This is your proof

Home is where the heart stays
Locked away with my dreams
I’m better off this way
The voice in my head screams
But with nothing else here
I question all I’ve done
Holding onto my fear
Not trying for a home run

I’m not special
I can’t do this
I try and I fail
I fail and I miss
From start to finish
You knew the truth
I fail and I miss
This is your proof

I’m trapped by the fear of my own making
I can’t break through this glass ceiling
Too afraid I’ll be cut by the shards
I can’t break out of this box of feelings

I’m not special
I can’t do this
I try and I fail
I fail and I miss
From start to finish
You knew the truth
I fail and I miss
This is your proof

Castles

Lyrics, , , ,

Living while still young
We’re waiting on fate
Not even the grey clouds
Can rain on our parade
Travelling in silence
Blaring Fleetwood Mac
We road trip cross country
Me writing in the back

Bonds forged on the playground
Tested on unknown lands
Even after all this time
These old castles still stand
Living tomorrow’s past
History’s on our side
These castles will still stand
Long after we have died

We spent months apart
But nothing’s changed
We’re still as crazy
Still just as strange
Towns passing us by
Old mixed with new
Something’s we’ve borrowed
Something in blue

Bonds forged on the playground
Tested on unknown lands
Even after all this time
These old castles still stand
Living tomorrow’s past
History’s on our side
These castles will still stand
Long after we have died

Years from now
Sitting in some bar
Thinking back on these days
We’ve come so far
Years from now
Something’s have changed
Thinking back on these days
We’re still just as strange

Bonds forged on the playground
Tested on unknown lands
Even after all this time
These old castles still stand
Living tomorrow’s past
History’s on our side
These castles will still stand
Long after we have died

Love
Roxanne

Wilhelm Scream

Lyrics, ,

Light shines through the curtain
Your heart starts beating fast
Each morning I awake
Walking on broken glass
Who will win this tug of war
The beauty or the beast
Both keep you by my side
With your self-imposed leash
The clocks stop as I wake
The time to run has past
With a smile on my face
The beast awakes at last

I’ve got that Wilhelm Scream
That just drives you insane
And the click of my heels
Has you running away
The venom from my lips
Leaves you crying my name
I’ve got that Wilhelm Scream
You don’t try to escape

I’m the girl in your nightmares
The monster in your dreams
And the beat of your heart
Is enough to make me scream
As my patience wears you down
Like a chain round your neck
The bomb in me starts ticking
Just wait til I’m upset
But you come crawling back
Each time I scare you away
I’m the Queen of your heart
I command you to stay

I’ve got that Wilhelm Scream
That just drives you insane
And the click of my heels
Has you running away
The venom from my lips
Leaves you crying my name
I’ve got that Wilhelm Scream
You don’t try to escape

He sleeps with his finger
Resting on the trigger
He sleeps with his finger
Resting on the trigger
He sleeps with his finger
Resting on the trigger
Didn’t your mama teach you
Don’t bite the hand that beats you

I’ve got that Wilhelm Scream
That just drives you insane
And the click of my heels
Has you running away
The venom from my lips
Leaves you crying my name
I’ve got that Wilhelm Scream
You don’t try to escape

Love
Roxanne

Skin Crawl

Lyrics,

There I was sitting all alone
When you walk in on the phone
I looked up and caught you staring
Looking at the clothes I’m wearing
It made things really awkward
When did life get so backward
I know you watch me when I walk
And don’t listen when I talk
I know you don’t think I see it
But when you stare at me I feel it

So to you I say this

I’ve had enough of the staring
And calling me a good girl
You’re old enough to be my dad
And it makes my skin crawl
So why don’t you give it a rest
And stick to your own life
Or maybe just go home
Back to your wife

He didn’t listen when I said
Stop picturing me in your bed
It just seemed to make it worse
So when we cross paths I change course
He doesn’t just stare at my legs
He now comments on my dress
In your pocket is that a pistol
It’s not enough to just wolf whistle

So to you I say this

I’ve had enough of the staring
And calling me good girl
You’re old enough to be my dad
And it makes my skin crawl
So why don’t you give it a rest
And stick to your own life
Or maybe just go home
Back to your wife

Did you just wink at me
Please don’t do that
Did you just growl at me
I don’t like that
Did you just touch me
Don’t you dare do that

I’ve had enough of the staring
And calling me good girl
You’re old enough to be my dad
And it makes my skin crawl
So why don’t you give it a rest
And stick to your own life
Or maybe just go home
Back to your wife

Love
Roxanne

Simon Says

Lyrics, ,

Her heart starts racing
He starts counting down
She needs to go hide
So she won’t be found
Bit of hide and seek
It’s a game they play
She hears him laughing
He’s headed her way
Running ’round the house
She almost has fun
Now he stands over her
So I guess he won

Game Over

Now it’s time for Simon Says
What Simon wants, Simon gets
Simon says make me your king
Simon says don’t be a tease
Simon says here have a drink
Simon says get on your knees

Life’s a game to him
Nothing’s serious
He looked happy
She was curious
That’s how it started
She heard his laughter
Wanted to play too
She found out after
The games he played
Were dark and twisted
She wanted it to end
So much, she wished it

Now it’s time for Simon Says
What Simon wants, Simon gets
Simon says make me your king
Simon says don’t be a tease
Simon says here have a drink
Simon says get on your knees

He starts counting down
She covers her ears
She knows what comes next
She screams as he nears
Almost at zero
He stands over her
He takes off his belt
The rest is a blur

Now it’s time for Simon Says
What Simon wants, Simon gets
Simon says make me your king
Simon says don’t be a tease
Simon says here have a drink
Simon says get on your knees

Roxanne

Eighteen

Lyrics,

Picture eighteen year old me
I walked through life aimlessly
Desperate to be anywhere else
Drank the night away shamelessly
But then when early morning comes
Stomach heaving with regret
The same girl as yesterday
Sitting at home the reject
Tomorrow might be a new day
But with no road map to follow
Too many forgotten nights
Only leave me feeling hollow

The cracks are showing in this path I’m on
Cause I don’t want to live fast, die young
Just eighteen and a cautionary tale
It’s more brothers Grimm than a fairytale
And if I should die before I wake
Then I’ll know this path was my mistake
There’s no future in living for today
Eighteen years I’ve just wasted away

Stuck outside the adulthood club
Can we fast forward or rewind
The pressure of planning ahead
Is what’s keeping me behind
With no thought of tomorrow
I just wanted to escape
In the bottom of the bottle
That’s where I found my twisted fate
Cause the time I spent wasted
Wasted too much fucking time
Now I’m too old to be young
But too young to give up and die

The cracks are showing in this path I’m on
Cause I don’t want to live fast, die young
Just eighteen and a cautionary tale
It’s more brothers Grimm than a fairytale
And if I should die before I wake
Then I’ll know this path was my mistake
There’s no future in living for today
Eighteen years I’ve just wasted away

There were times I wanted to forget
Sweaty bodies pressed together
With no more thoughts of tomorrow
I’d live in this moment forever
But after more drinks than I could count
I couldn’t make the room stay still
With my memory fading in and out
I woke up with blank spaces to fill

The cracks are showing in this path I’m on
Cause I don’t want to live fast, die young
Just eighteen and a cautionary tale
It’s more brothers Grimm than a fairytale
And if I should die before I wake
Then I’ll know this path was my mistake
There’s no future in living for today
Eighteen years I’ve just wasted away

Love

Normal

Lyrics, ,

I tell myself I’ll be ok
That I don’t need it
I’ll get my life back
I’ll be normal.
But then that feeling comes
That need for it
That desperation
And I always give in.

I just can’t help it
It’s the new normal
It’s become an addiction
A dirty habit
I don’t know if I can
But I have to break free

Then comes the regret
I make myself sick
But it doesn’t matter
It’s already done.
No one can know
About my habit
They’ll send me away
But I’ll be ok.

I just can’t help it
It’s the new normal
It’s become an addiction
A dirty habit
I don’t know if I can
But I have to break free

They’ll tell me to stop
That what I’m doing is bad
But I’m trying to fix it
Just not the way they want
I’m going try my way
To fix my problem
To become normal
To become thin.

It’s become an addiction
A dirty habit
I don’t know why
But I just can’t break free

Love
Roxanne

Real Me

Lyrics,

My walls are up
My smile’s turned on
My eyes my only give away
They mess up my con.
This life is my stage
And I its player
The person you see
Is just the first layer

What you see is not what you get,
What you see is not what it seems.

To everyone around me,
I seem fun and light.
But when it’s time for the show to end,
It’s all darkness in the night.

I’ve been deceiving,
People think I’m happy.
But that’s just not true.
Why can’t they see
If you look past the smile
And into my eyes
You’d see this for what it is
Just a thin disguise

What you see is not what you get,
What you see is not what it seems.

To everyone around me,
I seem fun and light.
But when it’s time for the show to end,
It’s all darkness in the night.

When people look in my eyes
All they see is my pain.
So I keep them hidden.
No one can see when it rains.
I think I know the reason,
For my deceit.
I don’t believe anyone could like me,
So real me’s gotta take a backseat.

What you see is not what you get,
What you see is not what it seems.

To everyone around me,
I seem fun and light.
But when it’s time for the show to end,
It’s all darkness in the night.

Love
Roxanne

Blank Stare

Lyrics,

After a long hard day
I take off her mask
No longer the good girl
I drink from a flask
She always wore a smile
Today I can’t fake it
I’m not wearing it well
But how could I break it
I needed solid ground
To keep up this facade
But without her here
It all fell apart

I look in the mirror
Wearing my blank stare
I’m over pretending
And too tired to care
The girl that I was
She’s hiding somewhere
There’s no more plain jane
I’m wearing my blank stare

She had her life on straight
But I’d gotten bored
Her smile ever present
But I was ignored
The lies we told them
Even we believed
But she left me alone
In this mess we weaved
I try to move forward
Past what they can see
I’m stuck under the weight
Of who I used to be

I look in the mirror
Wearing my blank stare
I’m over pretending
And too tired to care
The girl that I was
She’s hiding somewhere
There’s no more plain jane
I’m wearing my blank stare

She was there in place
To make me feel numb
To be who they want
Why did I succumb
Her mask wore thin and
My emptiness won
Now I’m dead inside
What have I become

I look in the mirror
Wearing my blank stare
I’m over pretending
And too tired to care
The girl that I was
She’s hiding somewhere
There’s no more plain jane
I’m wearing my blank stare

Love
Roxanne

The Day I Met You

Lyrics, ,

My black nail polish is chipped
And my eye makeup has smeared
From day one I knew this would end
But I didn’t care or fear it
I was drawn to you and your charm
Like a moth to a burning flame
I needed to be around you
But two couldn’t play your game
It’s like the middle of winter
Living in your cold selfish heart
I knew I would only get hurt
But I fell too hard and fast

I could see the end before we even began
You’re the rusty nail I couldn’t help but step on
The out of control fire I just had to touch
Or the doomed flight I needed to get on
We were a car crash and I couldn’t walk away
I stayed long enough to watch my heart break
From the day I met you I knew it’d end this way
Because I had feelings you just couldn’t fake

My long hair was tied in knots
And the colour has washed out
He said he wanted to talk
But I knew what it was about
I could feel this day coming
Ever since I came home that day
I found her lying in my bed
I don’t know why I even stayed
Just your average love story
The good girls meets the bad boy
I wished for a happy ending
But I was just your play toy

I could see the end before we even began
You’re the rusty nail I couldn’t help but step on
The out of control fire I just had to touch
Or the doomed flight I needed to get on
We were a car crash and I couldn’t walk away
I stayed long enough to watch my heart break
From the day I met you I knew it’d end this way
Because I had feelings you just couldn’t fake

I lost it
I couldn’t take it no more
I stuck by you all this time
And you leave me for that whore
I lost it
I threw your favourite glass
It hit the door you just slammed
The pieces shattered my heart

I could see the end before we even began
You’re the rusty nail I couldn’t help but step on
The out of control fire I just had to touch
Or the doomed flight I needed to get on
We were a car crash and I couldn’t walk away
I stayed long enough to watch my heart break
From the day I met you I knew it’d end this way
Because I had feelings you just couldn’t fake

Love
Roxanne
