Supernova 05:06
lyrics
buy track
Could you--Could you help me Fly higher? This light is blinding, approaching quick A cosmic scale eruption, it calls me All I ever suffered, each heartache I never dreamed they would trigger this A sort of second coming Just for me (pre-chorus) Never thought that I would open up my arms for A supernova, a supernova There ain't no amount of dreaming to prepare for A supernova, a supernova (chorus) A supernova! A supernova! You might be perfect now, our love is out of bounds A supernova! A supernova! Go on and make my night, shine like a satellite It's not a cliche, I can't breathe when you're not with me A supernova! A supernova! Show me some mercy now, I'll let you take me down Tear me limb-from-limb, push me to the brim All these stars are dim, I could light them up It's been too damn long, I feel I belong For once, I feel strong, cause you light me up Go on, go on, make me feel right, feel right Go on, go on, make me feel bright, feel bright Go on, go on, we could take the night, take the night Go on, go on, make me feel right, feel right (pre-chorus) (chorus) This is how it all began, This is how it all began This is how it all began This is how a heart began (x2) Everything I do It has led me to you (x6) (A supernova, livin' it up on broadway! I was feeding the machine, tonight I'm gonna strip down right!)

Look up at the grayscale coloured sky That bitch gonna win the famous life Possessed by the will to ride up high Castles in the east, I'll feel them right Here's where the street becomes the life Boys look like girls look like the boys Here's where we can break away, and fly Castles in the east, watch out (pre-chorus) Buy me, use me, throw me away Buy me, use me, just let me fly away (chorus) Cause I'm a freak show, overload, ecstasy I'm on stereo, covers of magazines I'm on broadway, on broadway, on broadway, on broadway Those flashing lights, those midnight signs Those starstruck lies, those heartfelt tries On broadway, on broadway, on broadway And Imma turn your world upside down Let's walk on a talking back roadside Let's flock from the morals we defied Let's swing on a dream, identified Castles in the east got something right Here's where the street becomes the life Create a new stage from concrete slides Here's where we can break away and fly Castles in the east, watch out (pre-chorus) (chorus) Imma give it up, Imma give it up (oh!) Imma give it up for broadway (x4) Broadway... (Look up at the grayscale coloured sky) On broadway... (That bitch gonna win the famous life) On broadway... (Possessed by the will to ride up high) On broadway... (Castles in the east, watch out) (chorus) (pre-chorus)

If I could stand upon this hill With no command, just for the thrill I'd paint it red, take in the night Take in the night to fight my fright Can you feel me? Can you feel me? Do you want me on my knees? Deprive me of my ecstasy, music will be the death of me (chorus) I am a robot, and I know I'm glitching I am a robot, walking imperfection Can you feel me? Can you feel me? Can you feel me? Do you want me as I am? I am a robot, robot, robot I'm sparking imperfection, 'cause I'm just a silly, noisy robot You can't rewrite my programming Those who have tried tell me I sting I can't help if I'm damaging This virus takes a hold of me Can you feel me, can you feel me? Do you like my struggling? Go and clean out my battery I won't shut up--I'm kinda crazy like that (chorus) Out with cyanide, I'm turning in before I die I'll bathe in peroxide, it's making me feel so divine (chorus) Out with cyanide, I'm turning in before I die I'll bathe in peroxide, it's making me feel so divine

Gotta get my fix now, fix now Ready for that hit now, hit now I may throw a fit now, fit now I hold my breath, and I'm on fire Gotta get my fix now, fix now Ready for that shit now, shit now I may be a bitch now, bitch now I'll hook it up and I'll be wired (pre-chorus) I gotta, gotta tell ya, I'm addicted To the instant gratification network process I gotta, gotta tell ya, I'm addicted To the immediate satisfactory practice (chorus) I can see it breaking through my head I can feel it flowing through my veins I can hear it pumping through my heart beat Of the generation Of this revolution I'm wired up (x6) Itchin' for the burn now, burn now Turning on the screen now, screen now Dreaming a machine now, (-chine now) I close my eyes and I'll feel higher Fingers feeling locked now, locked now I can't do anything now, thing now A little too reliant and I, I think I may have set on fire (pre-chorus) (chorus) The same story plays out day by day I can't stop it I'm an electronic, supersonic screenshot display I can't fight it Flip the button on, got my click-click ready And I'm right-clicking, saving as 'wired', got it steady Minimizing my sanity, I close the browser history Gotta get me outta here, addictive personality Maybe they'll scream, and I won't hear a thing, Cause I'm wired up hard and I'm feeling like a king So I'm etching on the off switch, Clock is tick-ticking and I'm losing out on every doubt, it's imprisoning (chorus)

I like my legs in leather, I like my legs in lace I like my legs in fishnets, I like 'em in your face I like 'em when it's smoother, I like 'em when it's rough They're not for the faint hearted, they're only for the tough I go to all the parties, I'm drinking all the wine I go out every friday, I'm having a good time I like my legs in leather, I like my legs in lace I like my legs in fishnets, I like 'em with the chase My legs are my escape from this cold, harsh reality What's yours? Tell me (x2) I like my legs in leather, I like my legs in lace I like when they're together, or spread out, point-in-case I like 'em on your body I like 'em on your soul Missionary, sodomy, let's fuck and rock and roll I like my legs in stockings, or nothing, so divine I think your legs are sexy, but not compared to mine I like my legs in leather, I like my legs in lace I like when they're together, I like 'em with the chase (chorus) My legs are my escape from this cold, harsh reality What's yours? Tell me My legs are my escape from this cold, harsh reality What's yours? Tell me And I know it's trying to keep yourself from dying My legs are my escape from this cold, harsh reality What's yours? Tell me I don't want you, I don't need you to tell me what I can and cannot be And I know it's trying to keep yourself from dying My legs are my safety net, my legs are my safety net I like my legs in leather, I like my legs in lace I like my legs in fishnets, I like 'em in your face (chorus) I don't want you, I don't need you to tell me what I can and cannot be (x4) Do you like my legs now?

You wanna play it? You wanna play me hard? You wanna see it? You wanna see my scars Try and move over, tonight I'm taking names If you're not careful, then you'll end up in flames You think I'm pretty, but not pretty enough You think I'm easy, maybe I'll call your bluff I think I'm liking, liking the way you taste I think I'm liking, liking the way you play (bridge) Proceed with caution, proceed with caution, proceed with caution I'm a hungry bitch (x2) (chorus) Feed me! I wanna feed, I wanna feed on The Machine Feed me! I wanna feed, I wanna feed on The Machine! Feed me! Feed me! Feed me! Feed me! My mind is racing, plotting away my life We'll take it slow, now--I got a magic knife I'll make you listen, persuade you with my tongue That's what you want, yeah? Isn't my name enough? I wanna see it--seeing my name in lights Do you like that, babe? I'm setting up a price Can you afford it? I'm kicking up these tricks I'm just preparing for all these stones and sticks (chorus) (bridge) We've got no imagination We're the TV generation And I won't get no satisfaction Till I get some recognition We got no imagination, TV generation, TV generation (x2) (chorus) Feed me, I'm a popstar Love me, I'm an artist Take me, I'm a rockstar Fuck me, I'm famous

Not A Hero 04:48
lyrics

You've got your mind, you've got my art I can't believe you stole my heart Going on your way as the world falls down on me You've run away, but I can smell That sweet scent you wore so well You let yourself become a stain in my sheets Now I'm alone, I guess that's life No one to phone late, late at night Suddenly the room feels so, so empty You've got your mind, you've got my art I can't believe you took my heart Going on your way as the world falls down on me And I, oh, I can't help But be tempted when you walk by It gets me thinking (chorus) Maybe I am not a hero, But that doesn't stop me from trying I could sit and cry all night You won't let me catch you falling Maybe I am not a hero, But that doesn't stop me from flying I could sit and cry all night But I gotta keep from falling You've got your mind, you've got my art I can't believe you took my heart Pushed me down and slammed my face in the concrete I can't believe I ever felt That you could be like someone else Going on your way as the world falls down on me (chorus) Down And I can't help but be tempted when you walk by It gets me thinking Sometimes I wish that I was dreaming And I close my eyes to get back to the beginning Cause, dad, I don't want to hear that everything will be okay Friends, I don't give a damn about what you may have to say Cause I'm still hurting, I'm still learning How to function day by day I don't want to start over, I just want to go back (chorus) Down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down...(x2)

Built For You 04:22
lyrics

It seems like everything has changed The vacancies of the world grow smaller I was stupid to think it'd stay the same Back when I was naive I could build a house on bruises But you strapped me back And made me feel like royalty Though this life's not what I asked for How could I care? When the winding road has brought me here (chorus) Suddenly, I see the plot line I was built for you Through all the pain, the stars align I was built for you Guilty for lacking the patience But pardoned for all the crime I used to try but I would falter Just to buy myself just a little more time And I was known for granting wishes They tore me down, they spit me up And crushed me like a paper cup But all those dreams I tucked away They began to thrive, I came to life You saved me from my toxic strife (chorus) All my toils, and all my fears No longer pose any danger or tears For once I feel human I feel warmth, in my blood, like a human A human (chorus)

about

Special thanks
(I can't believe I'm actually finally writing this)

Special thanks to my father, who helped ensure music was running through my veins from a young age, and not stopping me from my routine to "Something in Red" back when I was, what, 3?
Love you

Thank you to Jason, Ricky, Jacob, Megan, James Andrews, and everyone else who's been there to watch my career begin.
Thanks to Seth and Adam for all your love and support--you are both more than just a set of wheels.

Thank you to Garry and Jorrie for art, hairspray, make-up and love/support. Artistic banter will always hold my heart.

Thank you Uncle Dave and Auntie Cathy--you two have been like a second set of parents for me, always supportive and constantly showing interest in what I'm doing. I will try to make people feel as uncomfortable as I can in the future.

To all the assholes I've been with, thanks for the material.
To all the lovers I've enjoyed, thanks for the material.
(You all should know who you are. If not, I cannot help you.)

Thank you to you, for listening to/buying this piece of work I've worked so very hard on and I hope to only get better and attempt to shell out more infectious melodies as the years go by.

Finally, last but not least, thank you to my mother.
You are the ongoing spiritual presence in my life and I cannot stress enough the gratitude I feel towards you for giving me the foundation of my personality. This is for you. You are, and will always be, the supernova that ignites my life.
