Kiss of a Figure Skater You’ll tell me you’re sorry that things are so hard for me I’m painting my bruises scars are tattoos that are free (I’ll let you kiss me if you’re nice to me) (I’ll let you kiss me if you’re nice to me) You’ll never get a lover with that hair you’ve kissed a figure skater no one will answer your prayers (no one will answer your prayers) My belt is unbuckled for anyone but you choosing me’s not a party it’s just something you’ll live through (I’ll let you kiss me if you’re nice to me) (I’ll let you kiss me if you’re nice to me) You’ll never get a lover with that hair you’ve kissed a figure skater no one will answer your prayers (no one will answer your prayers) If I man-up one more time I think I’ll die how you tried with all your might to trick me into light but I made you cry once again oh, yes. I’ll make you cry once again You’ll never get a lover with that hair you’ve kissed a figure skater no one will answer your prayers (no one will answer your prayers)

Natasha 03:07
Natasha Mascara running down her face she’s got some memories she can’t erase no need to hide it anymore pretending she’s having fun is such a bore Natasha gives the pep talks Natasha’s never in the way Natasha gives you what you’ve lost Natasha smiles the dark away Watch her get pushed down by a boy Natasha made heartbreak seem like such a joy hear her laughing, deep a frown she’s a big haired high heeled clown Natasha gives the pep talks Natasha’s never in the way Natasha gives you what you’ve lost Natasha smiles the dark away The girl in the highest heels falls the farthest the girl with the biggest smile cries the hardest The girl in the highest heels falls the farthest the girl with the biggest smile cries the hardest

I'm Not a River Spotlight on you on the floor, and you're swinging your hair like a victory, but by now you'd think you'd have learnt from me that nobody dances anymore. It's a false idea to belong or to go with the flow standing up for men, when the glitter gets in your way again, just come on and sing 'em your fight song: I am not a river! I am not a river! I am not a river, river river.

No One Wants to Be Practice the face you'll make when you're happy nighttime mistakes in the light facing away from the mirror I wish I knew how to pray wish I could cut you away No one wants to be a loser No one wants to face the end alone Have you called your mother lately? Have you loved the ones who wait back home show me the way to dace, get me moving when there's no words to say I want to try anyway No one wants to be a loser No one wants to face the end alone Have you called your mother lately? Have you loved the ones who wait back home No one wants to be a loser No one wants to face the end alone Have you called your mother lately? Have you loved the ones who wait back home

The Blue Fairy Godmother Part 2 (why didn’t you make me beautiful?) (I don’t believe in you anymore) (gone…gone…gone) Why don’t you make me feel like dying anymore? Why don’t you ever catch me lying anymore? She’s gone. And she’s never coming back. She tore her dress now she’s never coming back. Why haven’t you set me free yet? (like they said you would) why haven’t you made me believe yet? (like I thought I should) She’s gone. And she’s never coming back. She tore her dress now she’s never coming back. She sang me lies before I’d go to bed before I’d shut my eyes and though I needed her I let the moment die beneath the midnight sky keep those wrists strong (why didn’t you make me beautiful?) In dreams I’m beautiful and dangerous and completely out of line and when she calls to me I just turn from her and cry the color from my eyes I cry the color from my eyes keep those wrists strong (why didn’t you make me beautiful?) Now I don’t believe in you anymore I don’t believe in you anymore (I don’t believe in you anymore)

Party Dress 04:05
Party Dress You spoke my name and I was lonely got stuck under that star unloosened love with your spindly fingers but left the door ajar now the wind is creeping into me it floats in as a draft but anytime I mime a plea you toss your head and laugh I remember groping blind for you at the beginning of our arc I could hear you hum from across the room I found your lips in the dark until that night we went to hear her sing and I wrenched my hand away you threw her flowers on the ground then handed me the blame I had placed your hands around my neck with a crown up on your head but you woke up normal next to me I’m just a body in your bed now I sleep with my eyes on the door while I dream glory in your hair I was struck awake, fallen to the floor my arms chockfull of air you pushed me to the mic you forced my sorrow on display why is everything in your goddamn life a motherfucking parade? we’re praying for the night to cover up this mess but the lamps go on and I’m left waiting in my party dress
