Hello World

Hello world (hey world), I'm the girl that sings
Hello world (hey world), while he hits the strings
Our sound is fizzy harmonies
And guitars that buzz like a swarm of bees
This song (la la) will announce we're here
This song (la la) will put a worm in your ear
This song will show off our potential
though it's too self-referential
And by the time this song is through
We'll get our pop hooks into you
We’re rock (we rock), it's at our essence
We're pop (pop pop), cos we got effervescence
We're sweet, we’re tart, we’re sly, we’re smart
We’ll pick you up, and then break your heart
So let's start

Stand down
I can hear your buzzing sound
and see you buzzing ‘round
and trying to catch his eye
But you’ll find the smoke has made you blind
‘cos you can't see he’s mine
so don't even try
Maybe you haven’t seen
That baby, I’m the queen
I’m a honeybee
My honey’s sweet as anything
But if you try to take my honey
I’ll sting
I'm riled ‘cos you think you've beguiled
but if he smiled he was just being polite
So buzz off -- your moves just make me scoff
I'm sharp and you are soft
so you had best take flight
And get out of my hive
Or you won't get out alive
I’m a honeybee
My honey’s sweet as anything
But if you try to take my honey
I’ll sting

Woulda Coulda Shoulda

Sweep the hair out of my face
Sweep the dust out of this place
Swept aside, I must confess
...I’m a mess
Wash the counters of debris
Wash away each memory
Awash with this regret
I’m not done yet
Tried to pretend
To accept we’re at the end
Tried to let this go
I woulda coulda shoulda, but I didn't
Tried hard to hide
But I can’t put this aside
Tried to let this go
I woulda coulda shoulda, but I didn't
I woulda coulda shoulda, but I didn't
Empty every cluttered bin
Empty out the trash again
Empty heart inside of me
I’m not free
Straighten up and breathe in deep
Straighten sheets where you would sleep
Run in circles, can’t think straight
I’m not great

Got the philosopher’s stone on a chain around my neck
Got the major arcana all stacked up in my deck
Pestle in my hand like a pistol I just drew
‘cos you led me on, I'll make gold gold gold outta you
Quick as silver, you found my heart to steal
But now it’s all bound up, under a hermetic seal
I'll be stirring this cauldron ‘til it switches to witches brew
‘cos you led me on, I'll make gold gold gold outta you
Foolishly you got me feuding
Now alchemy’s what I'm computing
Soon you'll see I'll be transmuting you
I'm feeling pretty sanguine, but I find no humour here
Gonna hammer out a glamour that will make you disappear
Clear as crystal, I'm a wrecking ball smashing through
‘cos you led me on, I'll make gold gold gold outta you
(Pb-Pb-Au)
Foolishly you got me storming
Now alchemy’s what I'm performing
Soon you'll see I'll be transforming you
When the stars align, gonna vent out all my wrath
‘cos the lies you told sent me sliding down the left-hand path
Now you're gonna worsen til you're cursing that we’re through
‘cos you led me on, I'll make gold gold gold
‘cos you led me on, I'll make gold gold gold
‘cos you led me on, I'm gonna make gold outta you

In Our Bones
02:55

We were drawn together from all the people on the earth
Being born of different mothers is just an accident of birth
Shoulder to shoulder at each and every age
Though inscribed by different pens, we’re both on the same page
We're different size, with different eyes, but both the same within
‘Cos sharing flesh and blood is not what makes you kith and kin
What fate had fractured, we both have worked to fuse it
‘Cos in our bones, we know we're home, and family’s where you choose it
We can feel it in our bones,
Where we always knew we would
Blood is thicker than water,
But bone is thicker than blood
When you get wounded, I’ll guard you ‘til you mend
When you get too rigid, I’ll help you learn to bend
When you wander off the path, I’ll help you turn around
And when you get your dander up, I’ll say “Sit your punk ass down.”
[Sister/brother], I don’t need to be reminded
‘Cos in my bones I know I’ll always find it
We can feel it in our bones,
Where we always knew we would
Blood is thicker than water,
But bone is thicker than blood
We can hear it in our bones
The tones of siblinghood
Blood is thicker than water
Bone is thicker than blood

Single Entendre

When you were with her
When I was still taken
When there was this glance
There was no mistaking
Now there's no catch
Now there’s no wrinkle
Now that you’re free
Now that I’m single
Won’t wait, won’t delay it
Gonna come right out and say it
This is my single entendre
The glint in our eyes
Had spelled something fateful
But words on our lips
Would not have been faithful
Now that those ties
Are finally broken
What was unsaid
Can finally be spoken
Won’t wait, won’t postpone
Now that we’re both on our own
This is my single entendre
Won't wait, won't deny it
Only got one chance to try it
This is my single entendre
Won’t wait, won’t delay it
Gonna come right out and say it
This is my single entendre

End This Process

I compiled all your problems, the errors that I’ve found
‘cos I’ve tried to catch the messes that you’ve been throwing ‘round
I’m tired of all your tendencies to build up these dependencies
and If I’m being truthful, you’re not the one.
I traced this stack of problems way back to the source
and it’s all held together by a single thread, of course:
Your methods are inscrutable; you’re constantly immutable
It’s time for me to exit, ‘cos I’m done.
I'm gonna end this process
Gonna end this process
Gonna end it
End it with you
I'm gonna end it
End it with you
I ate a loveless meal with you, another lifeless date
Your indifference is the engine that drove me to my fate
Now I’m touring all the exits to test to see what wrecks it
And with grace, I’m gonna hop out of this place
Every patch I’ve rushed
and all the cash I’ve flushed
I think it's time for you to fork off
