Little Hands

xoanastasiamarie — Sun, 30 May 2010 23:53:07 +0000

I know a boy who has broken every finger in his hands
I know just what he likes
I never asked for us to dance, couldn’t refuse, took the chance
Made it up as I went, drowned his heart, sopping wet
Played him like an old deck of cards
I told him

All I’ve got are little hands,
Little hands
Take what you want from me
No one knows where I’ve been
Or where I am
Couldn’t make it easy

I know a boy with perfect hands, perfect hands
With a perfect smile and a perfect laugh to match
We hit it off, or so thought, but my little hands, little hands
Just never seem to be quite enough
I cried and

All he’s got are stupid friends
That take his hands
They take what they want from me
I’m bitter, yeah, but my two hands
Don’t fail me like his absent plans
I’m so naïve

I know a boy with little hands, little hands
With a waist smaller than mine
I know you way too well, boy, with your bigger hands, bigger hands
And, boy, I really wish you’d give me some time

All I’ve got are little hands,
Little hands
Take what you want from me
I don’t know what I need
Or who I am
Couldn’t make it easy

All I’ve got are my two hands
Take these hands
Take what you want from me
I felt the light, I saw my life
Like, flashing on a screen that night
It could be easy

Politics.

Personally, I believe you have no business here.
Of course, you think differently.
Let me in on everything.
I know you have so much to say,
Though I am not the one to say it to.
I can see she suits you better than me,
Can hear the wedding bells in the west,
Still I refuse to stay away, a heart that ceases to stay awake.

All we’ve got is a memory.
All that’s left is the ghost of me.
All we’ve got is a memory.
All that’s left is a ghost.

Doubt He’d

xoanastasiamarie — Sat, 27 Mar 2010 21:35:10 +0000

Dirty lions come for me
Like oh, oh
Dirty faces beg to be clean
Like oh, oh
Doubt he’d smoke another after me
There he goes
Doubt he’d joke another cruelty
There he goes

Playing cards with a traitor on the moon
Like oh, oh
Shooting stars with a stranger in the room
Like oh, oh
Dear sister, why’d you make a fool from me?
You’re so short
Dear sister, where’d you learn obscenities?
You’re so short

Doubt he’d know another
Doubt he’d show another
Doubt he’d know
And he don’t

Doubt he’d know another
Doubt he’d ever show another
Doubt he’d know
And he don’t… know.

Valentine’s Day

xoanastasiamarie — Sun, 14 Feb 2010 23:46:23 +0000

Monsters come out at night
Laughing, what a funny sight
People curled up in their beds
Sleeping, looking more like they’re dead

Cupid’s got a milli in the bank
Living off lovers and skanks
I have a pocket of change
Knowing nothing stays the same

It’s easier to go than to stay
Your love for me has been a big mistake
Are you glad that she was born on Valentine’s Day?
I’m glad for me that I’m alive, but I’m not awake

Doctors know what’s wrong with our knees
Making incisions make us bleed
Telephone calls answered on the floor
Killing me once, kill me again, please kill me no more

It’s easier to go than to stay
Your love for me has been a big mistake
Are you glad that she was born on Valentine’s Day?
I’m glad for me that I’m alive, but I’m not awake

I’m glad for me that I’m alive, but I’m not awake.

I Dreamt I Was Dying.

xoanastasiamarie — Sun, 29 Nov 2009 01:16:37 +0000

I dreamt I was dying
On a boat in a nook
With a window looking out on
An empty green sea
Next to someone I had never seen in daylight
Who lied beside me so I wouldn’t have to go out all alone
So I wasn’t alone, but I was still lonely
And I was still dying.

I cry because I like to
Because I find it feels so damn good when I cry
Because you’d like me to, because you like to.

I knew where I could find you
In a dark room where your colors would stand out
Against a black wall, against my desperate call
I was screaming, screaming because I couldn’t take it
So I crept in to unwrap you once and for all
You weren’t facing me, but I said, “This is what I’m dying for.”
Just then I stepped back, I remembered you were the best.

I begged you to redeem me
Because I am a whore, because I got scared
I begged you to fix me
Because I am broken, because I don’t have a heart anymore
I begged you to believe me
Because she was joking, because she’s a liar
Now you lie with her, and I won’t forgive her
Yeah, I guess I’m a liar too, because I still want to be with you.

You hung your head and said
Nothing.

You don’t care.

I cry because I want to
Because I find it feels so damn good when I cry
Because you want me to; do you want to?

I cry, though I don’t have to
So you don’t have to.

Oh, Sunshine!

xoanastasiamarie — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 02:18:34 +0000

I ain’t got no sunshine.
I keep the blinds shut,
I don’t open the curtains,
Don’t know much, but I am certain
The day is not mine.

I ain’t got no rhythm.
My feet keep tappin’ out of time.
I throw my hands up in the air,
But I am down like I don’t care
At the drop of a dime.

Oh, sunshine, please smile, I have forgotten what color feels like.

I ain’t got no heart
Since you set mine on fire,
Since you tore it right out of my chest,
We watched it burn, put it to rest.
Love is such a liar.

Oh, sunshine, please smile, I have forgotten what color feels like.
Clouds keep on rollin’, I’m caught in between black and white.

Everybody’s got a gun.
Every, everybody’s got a gun.
Every, everybody’s got a gun,
Except for me, I don’t have one.
Shot down empty handed in the sun.

Shot down empty handed,
I was shot down empty handed,
Shot down empty handed.

Like, bang.

You Will Leave

xoanastasiamarie — Sun, 06 Sep 2009 18:10:13 +0000

Lucky, lucky me
You found I’m weakest in the knees
So you held me ever so steady just to watch me fall
You knew it all along
You plotted it out like a map to my house

Now where do I go, ‘cause you were my home
And I’m wishing that you wouldn’t have let me in
If I could only stay for the moment
I want to stay forever, I don’t know why we all have to go
‘Cause everyone we know is all packed up and ready to go

I’m a fool for loving you
You’re going to leave me
You always knew you were going to leave me
I’m naïve because I believed
You wouldn’t leave me
But you never wanted to be with me
You’re going to leave me, ‘cause you never wanted to be with me

You can say that nothing makes you feel the way
You want to, but I only want to lie next to you
Guess it’s just never enough
Guess I just wasn’t good enough
Yeah, I guess I’m just not good enough

I need you to stay
But you’ll leave me anyway
And I need you to stay
But you’ll leave me anyway
Yeah, you’ll leave me anyway

And I need you to stay.

Heavy

xoanastasiamarie — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 00:45:08 +0000

This marks the first time in a long time, like the one time it went right
When I said you were what I wanted, I expected to cry
You cracked a smile and yes, I was crying but in love, not in pain
If it was anybody else, it just wouldn’t be the same
No one else is quite the same

It’s not easy to be perfect; it’s not hard to be wrong
Misunderstandings aren’t uncommon, and I’m sorry I thought
That you meant you wouldn’t when honestly, you couldn’t
So if there’s a chance I’ll see your face, it’s all worth the wait
No one else is worth the wait

I’m never angry for more than five minutes
I’m never angry for more than five minutes
Don’t worry, ’cause I’m never angry at you for more than five minutes
But, you know, the minutes go slow when I am alone

‘Cause you are heavy on my heart
You place such great weight in my hands
I could try to pull myself out from under
But I am happy where I stand
Yeah, I will stay right where I am

I am fearful, and I’m anxious; I get scared it won’t last
I turn my thoughts towards the last one who just passed by so fast
Promise me you won’t leave me; tell me, baby, you believe me
When I say I would have to choose you any day
No one else is good anyway

I can’t get you off of my mind
You have become such a burden
I need to see your face and hear your voice all the time

‘Cause you are heavy on my heart
You place such great weight in my hands
I could try to pull myself out from under
But I am happy where I stand
Yeah, I will stay right where I am
I will stay right where I am

I Could Sleep Forever.

xoanastasiamarie — Thu, 28 May 2009 21:17:35 +0000

in just a matter of minutes,
courage has detached itself from bravery
on the verge of a breakthrough.
unless you’d like to take that from me, too,
lie to me, one more time, please.
do you hear the little voice
singing, i could sleep forever?
lie with me, for my, oh, my
excitement is completely removed;
exhaustion overcomes me.
perpetually will i stay
forgotten at the dawn of each day
or lost in the sound of the afternoon,
reminded of the reoccurring failure
everyday i choose to face.
very easily are you distracted, but
even when i have tired you out,
remember me before you go to sleep.

Sara Said

xoanastasiamarie — Sat, 02 May 2009 03:10:39 +0000

So what if I didn’t know
Anything at all
Regarding you and the last one, oh
Are you really taken or did she just wake up?
Everyone’s mistaken or did I just wake up?
Ladadadidadadum…
I want to know what’s going on, it’s like
Zero degrees in the hot heat, so I know there’s something wrong
Are you taken?
Bet she’d never love you quite the same way I do
Even if she did, don’t waste your breath
Time is all around you, but time is on your side
How many times have I tried?
Sara said she thinks that I shouldn’t, but
I go anyways
Time is all around me, but time is my worst enemy, come,
Lie down here next to me and hear me out
Everyone is mistaken, you can’t really be taken
Remind me why I try

Sara said she thinks that I shouldn’t, but I go anyways…
