Charlotte Martin Album

Am I treading in your flow well maybe I don't want to know that
We are gone before we go and you are upside down
Waiting in the sweet debris to shock you into loving me
I'm not the way I used to be and I am still alive and I am still alive

I am not your pretty thing
I am not your pretty thing
I am not your pretty thing
Your seventeen your prom queen anymore

I might be too good for you
Maybe you can get a clue
I'll never let you salt my wounds
So tell me who's pretty now
I don't know how a creep can sleep
And why your talk is always cheap
And what you're sowing you will reap
And you sure get around
You sure get around

I am not your pretty thing
I am not your pretty thing
I am not your pretty thing
Your seventeen your prom queen

And you can't have the sun as the same time as rain
Can't be wild and then be tame
Cause I just found out you were caught being nasty
With a whole lot to say a whole lot to say
That's insane that's insane that's insane

I am not your pretty thing
I am not your pretty thing
I am not your pretty thing

How long how long have you been asleep dear
I will search for answers that are lost
I can't change the way you feel at all
I can't wait, wait for you forever
My millionth dream gets sucked into your eyes
You think that I have been okay I'm not fine

So I'll go talk to strangers
And I will love too fast
And I'll burn so bright I'll run out of light
And I won't last

Why do you want to keep me in a cold room?
Why do you close your eyes to look at me?
Dreams can't change the girl you see at all

So I'll go talk to strangers
And I will love too fast
And I'll burn so bright I'll run out of light
And I won't last

Maybe there is some comfort in the mystery
Close encounters-none of them are you
I can't make myself look sane it's true

So I'll go talk to strangers
And I will love too fast
And I'll burn so bright I'll run out of light oh watch me
I'll go talk to strangers
And I will love too fast
And I'll love all wrong and I'm not that strong and

She breaks the rules and he falls into place
She makes the moon harrass the sun
The point of madness at her fingertips
He breaks….
She sucks him dry until he's vaprozied
And what is left she gives to me
Voices of reason start to fade away
I stay….

Late at night we all run out
Demons, saints must brawl
After dark, our eyes are safe
And lightblinde and lightblinde

She's under water but she won't need air
Her daddy's money made her well
He's finally empty thanks to both of us
I care…
I stare…

Late at night we all run out
Demons, saints must brawl
After dark, our eyes are safe
And lightblinde and lightblinde

Are you still dreaming
Am I too late again
See if it's safe for us to run away, run away
Run away, run away

Late at night we all run out
Demons, saints, must fall
After dark our eyes are safe
Late at night we all run out
Demons, saints and all
After dark, our eyes are safe

The girl I left behind me was bad at being good
The happiest arsonist that ever was
The happiest communist that ever was

The girl I left behind me-you said she wouldn't do
I know who I want to be-I want to be like you
So why do I change myself to be worthy of you

She's a needer
A bleeder
And likes to be on top
She's a girlfriend
A whirlwind
And not so logical
But she's an ocean in motion
And magical but you won't let her shine

The girl I left behind me
We've spoken once or twice
She says I have twice her strength well isn't that nice
She says I can call her anywhere or any time

She's a needer
A bleeder
I know that says a lot and
She's a girlfriend
A whirlwind
And not so logical
But she's an ocean in motion
And magical but you won't let her shine

You watch me as I fall apart for you
Watch me as I fall apart for you
Watch me as I waste myself and I waste myself and I waste myself

The girl I left behind me
Was bad at being good
The happiest arsonist that ever was

I think I'll pray for a boat and I raincoat
I think I'll pray for you
The time I waste with my soul on a stretcher
And all I put you through

And there are those who are scared of the dreamers
Their lies become their truths
I try so hard to be your kind of woman
I try so hard for you

And I have not run out
Although you thought I might
And I have not run dry and coming from my eyes
Are many rivers

If you can't breathe with your head under water
Why should I be with you
And I'm left here all alone with my headtrip and
Way too lost for you

And I have not run out
Although you thought I might
And I have not run dry and coming from my eyes
Are many rivers

I must follow where the deep water goes
I must follow you where nobody knows
I must follow you where ever it goes.. it goes

And I have not run out
Although you thought I might
And I have not run dry and coming from my eyes
Are every ounce of pain and I have fought the fight
And I have been let down and I will be alright

Hello boys
Got directions to the bombshell factory?
And a bowflexing nightmare tendency?
Hesitate, where's the tape my retired beauty queen?

Hello girls
Truth can make you stare into the mirror for hours.
And could lipgloss save a nation mr.powers?
Come into what's my own disappear zone-close my ears

Close my eyes
In the world of a stupid girl and in her stupid dress size...
So who are we? who's the judge, and are you something like a hero?

No mistakes..
Different versions of the girl right next to you..
And I'm knocking on your door and can't get through.
And I cry and I sigh and I try to
Close my ears

Close my eyes
In the world of a stupid girl and in her pettiest of lies...
So who are we? who's the judge and are you
Something like a hero?

Dull sensations, push them to the walls
And the thorns that fall, have the guts to walk upon them all

Halfway there
I was waiting by the phone for you to care
And I can't make a seed grow anywhere-
So I wait, so I wait, are you out there?
Close my eyes

I close my ears
In the world of a stupid girl and in her shallowest of fears...
So who are we? who's the judge and are you something like a hero?
Are you something like a hero?

(album version has "chant and scramble" here)
And I'm all for it and I don't know, and not for sure if I'm face down frowned
on the ground or if the devil's gonna get me if I make make make make myself
into a wave out there and I'm never gonna ache like this again and I'm never
gonna 'scape from here.

So I swim and you keep me keep me and I'm turning half blue true and I'm on on
on, out out out out of last words, last words? and I'm half baked and I side
stroke- side go- slide go. Pain pain pain no pain. Pain pain pain no pain. Choke
choke choke lift me out, sift me out- keep me Lord keep me Lord so I won't go
down down down keep me in the rhythm as I float out of my misery oh and I'm far
too gone, and I'm far too gone oh and I'm far too hey. I'm far too gone oh I'm
far too gone for you to go there. And I'm far too gone for you to go there honey
