Mel Stone - Simone
When you want to be sincere
You try so hard to be clever
That you're never clear
I'd bottom for you if you asked me to
But I'm dancing alone in the living room
And you're face down on the floor crying
That you wish you weren't queer
So I'll put my best face forward
But you know what a wreck i can be
I'm always getting in over my head
But never saying what i need
So I'll smile for the timeline and stare at ceilings alone
But I'm still not sure what to tell Simone
You tеar me down like an old lighthouse
Whеn you ask me to get you high
I try so hard to fix things
That I'm never fine
You say can't really love me cause you hate yourself
You're too tired and broken to crawl up from hell
And now I'm texting into a black hole
That I'll never understand your mind
You put on your deepest scowl
But I know how kind you can be
A pillow princess flat on your back
Afraid of what your weakness means
So I'll take your paintings off the wall, block you from my phone
But I'm still not sure what to tell Simone
Dressing down won't save you from the pain of being seen
Hiding yourself in a sea of cis machines
You can find a wife who'll carry, be the mother of your dreams
But to them you'll always be a faggot just like me
You can't take anything else from me
Cause I've got nothing left but sympathy, pity
And the restless lonely energy of the freedom you gave me
I'll put my best face forward
But you know what a mess i can be
I'm always getting in over my head
But never saying what i need
So I'll throw away this dead bouquet and bury it in my bones
But I'm still not sure what to tell Simone

Mel Stone - Cat's Song
{Verse 1} She's the quick one, the sad one, the fun one, the mean one Always telling friends how she wants to die She never really means it, just takes everything she has
Mel Stone - Tired
{Verse} You need to feel the wind on your lips And I can't breathe in this town between oceans You demand explanations for every affection And run at the first sign
Mel Stone - God Knows
{Verse 1} Woke up wanting to die again Getting high again Just to float through the day So now I'm home again Crashing in this town again Where I can ignore my
Mel Stone - Until Then
{Verse 1} Dead flowers on the dashboard Passing favorite songs back and forth Burning down the decade that got me here I'm already living longer than I ever thought
Mel Stone - Wildflowers
{Verse 1} Just a fictional object of role-model dreams Hiding my eyes from that self-made marquee Always caught in the spin of my own inertia I am fully aware of each of
Mel Stone - Passing
All the way Slipped through the early day Cemetery’s drowned in morning dew Near the churches draped with ferns That want to see me burn I felt the future buried below
Mel Stone - Grounded
Kind and quiet accommodations A new narrow life of assimilation Dreaming of the person you thought you could be Conquered fear of death but terrified of living How femme
Mel Stone - By Now
Compare everything i see To the one I want to be The same reflection every day The weightless longing for a brief reprieve But I’m older now, been this way a while
Mel Stone - Just Enough
The last one here alive Burning candles, shadow frontier First kiss with a death wish Singing everything i want to hear I was timid at the start You were born to play
Mel Stone - Real Good Place
Put my future on the line Invested too much time Woke up to find a note That said you can’t live in the past I'm getting used to being lonely Working towards something
