SONG: WITHOUT YOU

ARTIST: CANDICE CORNELL

LABEL: CRC ENTERTAINMENT

________________________________________

How could I know

How the fuck could I know

That you’d ever make me choose

That you’d be the one I’d lose

When torn between husband and a dream

That you’d rip me apart at the seam

It wasn’t your fault

You could see the nightmarish creatures

Lurking in my brightest dreamscapes

I fell into the trap again

This time I’m gonna escape!

What’s one more drink

What’s one more night

What’s one more show

Without you? Without you!

I’m all out of bottles

And I’m all out of beds

No more stages left in the world

I’ve reached a turning point

And I’m turning myself in

To you

I’m turning myself in

To you-ou-ou

How could I know

That you would go

How could I know

How could you go

It was just what you had to do

Because you know I’m nothing without you

Rock bottom feelings reeling inside

Of a stone cold heart

But you heard the beating

When all I felt was the pain

Never wanna dance again

In the whiskey rain

What’s one more drink

What’s one more night

What’s one more show

Without you? Without you!

I’m all out of bottles

And I’m all out of beds

No more stages left in the world

I’ve reached a turning point

And I’m turning myself in

To you

I’m turning myself in

To you-ou-ou

Third times the charm

That’s how the saying goes

I never want anyone else on my arm

You’re the only one for me

My finger will never be bare again

I’m keeping this ring you gave me

And I’m standing by my vows

I’m standing by you now

I’ve broken every bottle

I’m standing sober

I’m standing sober now

What’s one more drink

What’s one more night

What’s one more show

Without you? Without you!

I’m all out of bottles

And I’m all out of beds

No more stages left in the world

I’ve reached a turning point

And I’m turning myself in

To you

I’m turning myself in

To you-ou-ou

CANDICE CORNELL PERFORMS “COMMANDER” LIVE AT THE 2018 VMAS.

Madonna stands on stage after having just presented the previous award. “Our next performer is a lot like me and at the same time, she’s a completely different person. She plays by her own rules, she makes the music that she wants to make and she takes orders from no one. She truly is her own commander. Ladies and Gentlemen, Candice Cornell!”

The lights go down after the announcement of an unexpected performer leaves the audience in hysterics. Smoke fills the stage as strobe lights flash to reveal Candice with dancers in formation behind her.

“I’m no ones puppet

I won’t move a finger

If I don’t want to

I’m no one’s toy

Won’t be available

Legs spread wide open

If I’m not in the mood

I’m no one’s servant

I won’t cook for you

Unless I’m eating too

No no no no no no no”

Candice walks downstage to a camera, the music stalling as she points her finger directly at the lens. She says the next words without any music behind it.

“Just in case you didn’t know

I’m the bitch that runs this show”

She shoves the camera with her hand before returning upstage to rejoin her dancers just as the chorus begins.

“Stand at attention!

I’m your general

Hit your mark!

I’m your director

Listen up!

I’m your teacher

Obey me!

This is my theater

Now salute me

I’m your commander”

The instrumental break brings the audience to their feet as Candice and her dancers snap instantly into sharp and precisely synchronized choreography. Left elbow out, right arm up, drop into a squat, three thigh pats before dipping into the splits. Legs together, two count, arch back and assess up before ending with a body roll. Candice moves back to her feet to sing the second verse.

“I’m no one’s actress

Won’t play any role

I don’t want to

I’m no one’s starlet

Won’t smile

Just because you

Screamed my name”

She seems to sing that line directly to the crowd who have been desperately trying to get her attention so THEY can get the best Instagram picture of the night.

“I’m no one’s bitch

Get down on your knees

I’ve spent enough time on mine

Bow to the queen

Focus on me.”

Candice repeats the now famous bridge of her song with the music behind it this time.

“Just in case you didn’t know

I’m the bitch that runs this show”

She snaps her left thumb and index finger together as the left side of dancers swiftly get into position behind her.

“Just in case you didn’t know

I’m the bitch that runs this show”

Right handed snap, right sided dancers follow suit.

“Just in case you didn’t know

I’m the bitch that runs this show”

Another instrumental break, this one straying from the structure of the studio version of the song, ensues as Candice and her dancers stand back to back with her in the middle. They lean back, each slapping the thigh of the woman behind them before sliding their palms up to their respective dance partner’s ass. They body roll forward, their heads resting on be backs of the person in front of them. They walk one leg pop at a time together across the stage like a centipede, much to the crowd’s delight. As they start to lean back again, Candice drills her elbows into the girl behind her, causing a domino effect to the girls in the back. Then, as the body roll forward repeats, she brings one knee up into the ass of the girl in front of her to take out the girls in the front of the formation.

“Stand at attention!

I’m your general

Hit your mark!

I’m your director

Listen up!

I’m your teacher

Obey me!

This is my theater

Now salute me

I’m your commandeeeeeeer!”

The resonant chest belt to conclude the song truly cements Candice’s return to the pop music scene, far removed from the raspy growls and screams from her previous rock endeavors. Receiving a standing ovation, Candice smiles and waves to everyone before offering a simple thank you followed by “I’ll see you all on the road soon! Hashtag Commander Tour!”

Blackout.

CANDICE CORNELL - PRO WRESTLING ILLUSTRATED EXCLUSIVE Candice Cornell’s incorporation of her dark, and very public, history makes her one of wrestling’s most believable anti-heroes and bad bitches today. At times, it seems the lines between the act and the truth blur and it’s hard to tell if Candice herself might not actually be slipping back into her more unconventional ways of handling situations. Still, she reassured us in our sit down interview with her that she is totally in control and can separate Candice the character from Candice the person. PWI: You have had a very public unmasking into your rather dark past. How has that affected your reputation as a wrestler? CC: I definitely think it’s helped. I mean, before that all anyone really saw was the Pussycat Doll. Even when Layla and I bloodied each other or I beat Lita in my debut match, people still saw this model trying to be a wrestler. So when I did the Barbara Walters interview and the trial came after and all of these things were dug up about me I think people kind of went: Oh shit. This girl really is hardcore. PWI: Have you had any concern backstage? In terms of people worrying about their safety. CC: I mean, I think there’s always a concern over safety. Especially when certain spots are planned that are more... outside the box than others. PWI: But never because of your past? Like people worried about you actually injuring them on purpose? CC: I’ve proven myself to be a very professional worker since day one and I think the people I share a ring with can see that. So if there is concern, they don’t let me know about it. But I don’t think so. PWI: And have you ever had any real life beef with people you’ve had feuds with? CC: Velvet Sky. Way back in 2013 and 2014 when I was new to the scene I definitely think we disagreed a lot. And I mean a LOT. That’s one person I almost got physical with for real. PWI: And what about now?” CC: Love her to death. She saw me in a moment of weakness and instead of preying on that she showed compassion. So much respect for her after that. She’s a woman you want on your side. PWI: No beef with Taya Valkyrie? CC: You know... I’ve actually never met her. PWI: Never? CC: Nope. I of course know of her so when I saw her tweeting about XWA I was like ‘Oh, here’s my chance to throw some shade’ just for fun and now it’s a whole big thing. PWI: Are you excited to meet her? CC: Absolutely. She’s a beast in the ring and she can keep up with some serious Twitter banter. She might become one of my favorite opponents. PWI: Speaking of favorite opponents: Have you heard from Layla? CC: Not recently. Not because we’ve had a falling out or anything. I’m just so busy anymore and she’s really enjoying her life out of the spotlight. We had lunch a few times while I was on my little hiatus though. Still one of my oldest and greatest friends. PWI: You two co-owned and operated a decently successful wrestling promotion of your own. Would you ever do that again? CC: I don’t want to say never, but not for a long time. It was a lot of work and with me running CRC, it’s just impractical to try and tackle a promotion too. Especially with how hands on I like to be. PWI: Well if you did it, it’d be amazing but in the meantime XWA seems like an amazing promotion to work for and you seem to be killing it. CC: I struggled after EPW closed and I didn’t think I’d ever feel at home wrestling again but XWA is really something special. I’m excited to see its growth and I’m honored to be apart of it. PWI: We’re excited to see it as well! Thank you, Candice. CC: Thank you.

Candice Cornell appears on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon and performs “Cardio” and “Don’t Ya’”. _______________________________________________________ “My next guest just released her ninth studio album ‘Focus’ two weeks ago and it has already been certified Platinum! She’s a Pussycat Doll, she’s a rockstar, she’s a popstar and she’s a mother. Please welcome Candice! Cornell!” The Roots play an instrumental version of Candice’s “Don’t Ya’” as she walks out onto the stage with a smile and a wave to the crowd. She hugs Jimmy over his desk before sitting in her seat. “Wow, you look amazing!” Jimmy says amidst loud applause from the audience that is still welcoming her. “Thank you, Jimmy. Been back in the ring, so,” Candice winks at the camera, her tongue protruding just slightly from her teeth. “You’re wrestling again?” he asks curiously. The starlet nods her head. “I’ve been training to, yeah.” She flexes her left arm and points at Jimmy. “We should spar sometime.” Jimmy’s eyes open wide. “I think you’d kill me before I even got in to the ring.” The brunette beauty gives her shoulders a high shrug. “You’re not wrong.” The late night host chuckles as he leans in against his desk. “So tell us. You’ve been wrestling again, your new album just went platinum. It kind of feels like you never really left. But you did leave. You were gone for a year.” Candice sighs. “I did leave for a year. And it’s kind of funny because I left to do all these things that I thought I wanted to do and as it turns out, those things weren’t me at all.” “Well, like what?” The host asks for clarification. “Like being a stay at home mom and a cooking housewife and a retired woman. Which I mean, I am a mother and I am a wife but I’m not the 50’s version of them. I don’t know how to be without trying to rip my own hair out.” “It was really that bad?” Candice glares at Jimmy as if she was seeing right through him. “Imagine this, Fallon. You decide at the drop of a dime that you don’t want to do talk shows anymore and you go home and all of a sudden everything you’ve ever known you don’t get to do anymore. You have to act like a normal person and you can’t call up your good friend Justin Timberlake like ‘hey, come over and let’s tell some jokes on TV’. How would that go over with you?” Jimmy shakes his head. “Well that wouldn’t fly. Justin would miss me too much.” Candice giggles as her palm slaps Jimmy’s desk. “Exactly what I thought.” Jimmy scratches his chin as he ponders his next question. “So when you first moved back to LA, was it your plan all along to release this album?” Candice’s eyes roll upward towards the ceiling as she thinks about the creation process of her new album. “I don’t know if I necessarily realized I had an album already written when I came back.” Jimmy’s mouth forms an ‘o’ shape. “Oh wow. So you wrote the whole album back in Chicago?” “I – yes. Technically. I had the lyrics or at least portions of them written in my phone because it was my way of staying sane through the identity crisis I was having. And then when I got back to LA I hit the studio just to kind of get my bearings back and one song after the other I was like... I don’t need to add anything. The perfect album is sitting right here in the notes on my phone.” “Now you said the songs got you through an identity crisis. Are you out of that crisis now that the album is out there and finished?” Candice bites her lip and raises a brow. “No... I mean look at my career. I’m a woman who has worn many many hats and had her hands in so many different baskets that I think I’ll always kind of struggle with.. am I in the right field at the right time? You know? But it’s definitely better now that the album is done. I’m more... focused.” She smirks and Jimmy howls with laughter. “There it is! I was waiting for it!” “Album promo and puns. I’m a business woman but I like to keep it fun.” “Album pun-mo!” Jimmy explains proudly. Candice cringes but laughs through it anyway. “Album pun-mo! That’s it! That’s CRC’s new marketing tactic.” Jimmy’s eyes light up as Candice presents him with an opportunity for another question. “Speaking of CRC, now that you’re back in charge is there any hope for a resurrection of CRCFest? I’ve been to a lot of music festivals but the one you put on was amazing!” The popstar blushes as she looks out over the crowd who is cheering. “I mean, nothing is in the works yet but as the woman who can get s*** done... sorry. Crap. Who can get crap done with the wave of her hand, I’ll see what I can do.” “Yes!” Jimmy shouts as he pumps his fist with excitement. “And what about CRCTV? I was a huge fan of Intelligence and I was so bummed when it just ended. Will there be any new shows or revivals of what was already in the works?” The 35 year old shakes her head at Jimmy. “You are really prying for information tonight aren’t you.” He chuckles. “I can’t help it, I’m a fan!” Candice adds a chuckle of her own. “I would have to speak to the cast to see what we can do but I do want to get some new original programming going on the channel as soon as possible.” “And if you need someone new to play Alexander, I’m totally in shape and ready to go!” The Tonight Show host flexes both arms and looks to audience for approval. They give it to him courtesy of a lit up applause sign above them. “Well I actually had been planning to have Jo kill Alexander off and since I play Jo... I’m just saying it could be a lot of fun!” Jimmy points at the camera in front of him. “Alright America. If I die, this woman right here is responsible. You heard it here first!” The audience laughs and Candice claps along with them. “Alright! When we come back, Candice is going to be performing a medley from her new album ‘Focus’. Stay tuned!” ***COMMERCIAL BREAK*** The show fades in from black, Jimmy seated at his desk with the Vinyl Record sleeve of Candice’s new album ‘FOCUS’ on display. “She is a wrestler, she is a businesswoman and she is one of the fiercest performers we’ve seen this century. With a medley of ‘Cardio’ and ‘Don’t Ya’ from her new album ‘Focus’, please give it up for Candice! Cornell!” Following Jimmy’s introduction, blue tinted lights come up on stage. Candice is center, a male dancer behind her and slightly skewed so he can be seen too. “I’ll be your fitness motivation Gonna need abbreviations For the exercises I’ll have you doing S-E-X” With each letter, Candice snaps into a different pose, the dancer mirroring it behind her. “Our best communication M-A-S -turbate, feeling the alienation” Candice holds her crotch as she struts downstage, the dancer drifting upstage simultaneously. “You need a spotter I’ll climb up on ya’ And twist from left to right” Candice sprints up stage and mounts him midair, twisting in the directions she’s singing about. “I’ll be your weight Lift me up and down” He throws Candice forward off of his body, the popstar landing in the splits with her back to the audience as she sings ‘down’. “Be sure to accelerate Hold me to the ground” With the dancer’s hand now on Candice’s head, he drags her to center stage, her hand on his wrist with her free hand to protect her neck. “Should I rise up Or will you go down” Candice stands and the dancer squats in front of her. “Turn me around-round-round Headboard to the wall” Still squatting, he spins her by her legs so she’s facing upstage again, her back arched as she leans forwards. “Yeah i like that sound-sound-sound Baby we don’t need clothes To work out our bodies Let’s get it right here, right here Look how hard he is, though” She covers her mouth, eyes open wide. “Hop in the bed, let’s do some cardio” An instrumental break, fusing the sounds of ‘Cardio’ and ‘Don’t Ya’ together plays as Candice and the dancer move in sync, the lights flashing different colors in a truly disorienting array. In the midst of the chaotic noise and lights, Candice’s preordered voice from the Pussycat Doll’s days starts chanting “Don’t Cha!”. It’s been edited to sound muffled, but it’s still distinctive enough to understand the two words. There’s one heavy beat, a flash of white light and suddenly the dancer has disappeared from the stage leaving Candice alone. In what appears to be an inhumanly fast quick change, Candice is now out of the sweatpants and T-shirt that she was in for Cardio and in something that shows a little bit more skin. “‪Don’t cha‬ Don’t ya know that lightning don’t strike twice Don’t cha Don’t ya know there’s a price to pay for every vice Don’t cha Don’t ya know what happens when the claws come out” Candice curls her fingers and slashes them at the nearest camera lens. “Don’t cha Don’t ya come for this p**** with a bone in your mouth!” She sounds livid on the last line of that first verse, a vein in her neck bulging as she shouts it. “Don’t ya wanna play anymore Don’t ya, Don’t ya Don’t ya wanna stay anymore Don’t ya, Don’t ya Don’t ya wanna lay anymore I was good enough for your kennel But now I run the jungle You’re at the end, you’ll Feel my roar rumble The earth Don’t ya feel my roar Ru-ru-ru-rumblin’” Substituting the flashy choreo for aggressive movements across the stage, Candice is channeling her inner rockstar, the one she’s let thrive for three years, proving that she can, in fact, balance pop and rock music within one album. One era. One performance. The tempo slows and Candice jumps ahead to the third verse, singing it completely acapella with her eyes locked on the camera. “Don’t ya wish your girlfriend was hot, hot, hot, hot Don’t ya wish your girlfriend wasn’t psycho like me? Don’t ya wish your girlfriend wasn’t deranged like me? Don’t ya wish your girlfriend didn’t drive you insane like me?” The camera pans forward to get a close up of her lips as she sings “Don’t ya” one last time before a blackout. The audience delivers a standing ovation as Jimmy joins Candice on the stage with a mind blown expression on his face. “That was incredible!” He wraps his arms around her in a hug. “Wow!” Candice chuckles, trying her hand at humility. “Thank you, Jimmy.” “Everyone! Please give it up one more time for he amazing Candice! Cornell! Don’t forget to buy and stream her new album Focus on all services and watch out for her in ring return! I’m Jimmy Fallon, thank you for tuning in. Goodnight!”

In a sit down interview with CapitalFM, Candice Cornell revealed a miscarriage was the initial reason for her return to LA and the music scene as alluded to in “Jordan’s Song”. “I never knew how to cope with shit when I lived in Chicago as a kid and it was no different as an adult. I fucked up my sobriety and I was like.. Alright. I need healthier distractions. So I picked up and came back. I still haven’t recovered mentally, but I am healing. It just sucked... It was and still is really hard.” No details are available as to how far along in her pregnancy she was but she did reveal that her decision to move back to LA did cause tension between her self and husband Michael Ericsson. “I really think he thought I was leaving him and that makes me sad. I would never up and leave him. But I couldn’t stay in that house or that city anymore and luckily he finally realized that and came here to live with me and our son.��� The chart-topper also spoke candidly about maintaining her sexuality as a mother. “Obviously there is a time and a place for everything but at the end of the day, I am a sexual being. So when I get all fired up and ready to go, my son is going to sit there and watch TV or play with his LEGOs while I take his dad to play our own games. And that’s that!” And what did her husband think about that sexy male dancer in Candice’s new video for “Cardio”? “He’s a grown man and he knows work and art from anything personal or real... And I think it helps that the dancer is definitely one hundred percent gay.”

FOCUS – CANDICE CORNELL (FULL ALBUM) DURATION: 53 MINUTES GENRE: POP LABEL: CRC ENTERTAINMENT *With her ninth studio album, Candice Cornell is keeping it simple and stripped back as she returns to pop music for the first time in three years. With a sound reminiscent of 90’s R&B and early 2000’s pop, Candice continues her streak of autotune-free music and powerhouse vocals. Still, she adds a few surprises by capitalizing on her beautiful falsetto in the album’s downtempo tracks. She doesn’t shy away from her tough girl persona, but she does get vulnerable on tracks like “Jordan’s Song” and “Good Enough”. FOCUS (INTRO) Always stood strong But I couldn’t hold on I became so hopeless (Hopeless, Hopeless) I had it all But I gave it up for you I hope you know this (Know this, Know this) Dreamt of myself on top Worked myself to the top Somewhere I lost my focus (Focus, Focus) No oh, no oh Can’t keep on holding I’m so hopeless You did this to me I hope you know this With my sights set on you Think I lost my focus Time to focus on my work Time to focus on my mind Time to focus on my health Time for you to focus on you It’s time to focus on me [Siri-like Voice] Re-focusing COMMANDER I’m no ones puppet I won’t move a finger If I don’t want to I’m no one’s toy Won’t be available Legs spread wide open If I’m not in the mood I’m no one’s servant I won’t cook for you Unless I’m eating too No no no no no no no Just in case you didn’t know I’m the bitch that runs this show Stand at attention!

wildfire Little cub, you were such a liar Fanning the flames Of the wildfire Placed your failures on me Like I held you back I was smaller than you The baby of the pack You put so much power In an

cocoon Hush now, baby, this womb is your room For these next nine months You’ll grow inside me Hide away from the world That you have yet to meet These are the things I told you When you were still alive Now you’re flying high in the sky Turn away, don’t want you to see mommy cry Hush little baby Don’t you cry Momma’s gonna love you Long after you die And when you’re gone I’ll remember your name A boy or a girl I would’ve loved you the same Darling angel boy Is that what you would’ve become A little man who looked just like me With the eyes of his daddy Sad missing angel boy Where have you gone I can’t feel you inside me This is so wrong I miss your movements I miss your grip On every organ inside of me Please tell me why you had to leave Hush little baby Don’t you cry Momma’s gonna love you Long after you die And when you’re gone I’ll remember your name A boy or a girl I would’ve loved you the same I could never see you But I felt you kick I felt your heart beat And I felt when it stopped My body aches for you Every morning I got sick From radiating heat And I cried when it stopped I’d never give up on you So why’d you leave me Here alone In this bloody room Baby come back to me Heaven’s too big for you Don’t get lost up there Promise I’ll come find you soon Hush little baby Don’t you cry Momma’s gonna love you Long after you die And when you’re gone I’ll remember your name A boy or a girl I would’ve loved you the same HOUSEWARMING (INTERLUDE) Moved across the world for you Left my dreams to live on in my brain And never see the light again Been two years since Alcohol’s coursed through my veins So I need to get my fix from you Drown me in the sheets Let’s start a family Come on, love, climb on top of me Let’s start a fire Let’s go to bed Let’s start a fire Give me some head Let’s make this house a home Use me for your desire Let’s make this housewarming hot Let’s make this housewarming hot Hot!

HOMECOMING Missed these mornings in the sun Felt guilty being on the run From the people who made me Who gave me a home Who wore my name with pride That forgave me when I lied No longer looking for love Wherever I roam It’s about time I come home No longer looking for love Wherever I roam It’s about time I come home Feels good being back in the LA sun Never gonna let someone steal my shine Was born to be on the run Don’t worry about me, I’ll be just fine I’m home now, I’m home now (now, now) Don’t worry about me, I’ll be just fine I’m home now, I’m home now (now, now) Missed these nights under the neon lights Became a deer blinded by man’s bright headlights That dented car killed my dreams Buried them deep in the earth Where my body’s been Resurrected for my sin And I still never learned how to be A decent fucking human being So I vanished into the shadows Of my mind and my home Never wanted to be seen, became a ghost Yet here I am, wading in the shallows Of the pacific coast Feels good being back in the LA sun Never gonna let someone steal my shine Was born to be on the run Don’t worry about me, I’ll be just fine I’m home now, I’m home now (now, now) Don’t worry about me, I’ll be just fine I’m home now, I’m home now (now, now) I’ll miss the wind whipping through the Skyscrapers when we walk through the town That fucked me up when I was young Think of all that we’re getting back Friends, family, threats of a shark attack Wine on me, no I can’t have a glass But I’ll still treat you Here, throw another back Feels good being back in the LA sun Never gonna let someone steal my shine Was born to be on the run Don’t worry about me, I’ll be just fine I’m home now, I’m home now (now, now) Don’t worry about me, I’ll be just fine I’m home now, I’m home now (now, now) [Acapella – with recorded clapping to beat] Said don’t worry about me, I’ll be just fine I’m home now, I’m home now (now, now) MISTER MASOCHIST I could’ve punched you in the face And you would’ve thanked me For touching you Then blamed your head For being in my way You met me when I was a monster Hellbent on ending men You fell in love with me anyway Boy, you’re out of your head What twisted game are you playing here Leading on a girl that likes to kill Are you in this for me Or just for the thrill You tried to love me And I ran away I tried to kill you And you stayed Tried to teach you a spell And instead you prayed Tried to shoot you in the heart And I missed Tried to bury you Yet here you stand What’s it like In that twisted head of yours Mister Masochist?

‘The Return of a Titan’ William Calloway —————————— I wasn’t sure what to expect when arriving at Candice Cornell’s apartment complex. For one thing, that caught me off guard. With millions of dollars in accolades and two media empires with her name (or initials) plastered on them, I was prepared for a mansion. Maybe a beach house. So as I pressed the call button and had the gate opened for me, I was surprised to drive in and see very average, still upper class, but very modest buildings around me. The woman inside the apartment was even more surprising. She opened the door and was wearing a pair of gray joggers and a red crop-top hoodie. The only writing on the top was “STAY FOCUSED” in a blurred font. “Come on in,” she told me. I entered and, just like with the outside, the inside underwhelmed me. And not in a bad way. It was very homely and welcoming. It wasn’t intimidating with expensive and breakable pieces of memorabilia every few steps. It was just an apartment with some pictures, both old and new, of Candice and her friends and family. Well, her mom anyway. She told me to sit on the loveseat and brought me a glass of whiskey and coke from the kitchen before having a seat herself on the opposite couch. “So, Candice, you just recently released your first pop song in three years and people have a lot of questions.” She chuckled and took a sip of her mixed drink before setting it down on the table. “I’m sure they do. Ask away, I’ve never been one to have secrets... not for very long, at least,” she joked before her natural top and bottom lashes collided to give me a wink. “So the last time we saw you, you were at the top of the rock charts with your band and then you just kind of walked away. Why come back now? And why to pop music?” The pop star’s chin wrinkled as she pondered how to answer my question. “You know, I... I think I needed time. I released eight albums in four years. That’s two albums a year. Non stop recording non stop promotion. I think I was just burnt out and while I was still writing things that meant something to me, all that really seemed to matter was selling and rising and being the best as if I had something to prove. And then with the band I felt like I was always trying to prove that I was hardcore and a badass and worthy of the rock fans’ approval... I think my life certified me as hardcore enough. Why was I pining over their approval? So I had enough and I took my son and I got married and I started a life I thought I could live forever. My band went and got a new lead singer who is incredible, by the way. I’m super happy for them and super proud of the work they’ve done together so far. But to answer your question... They kind of brought me in to rock and they helped me be that rocker chick fully. So to come back without them and try to do it on my own seemed ungrateful to them. I would never want to compete against them nor would I ever want to take them away from Cody. And I began in pop music with the Dolls so I’m just really trying to find my roots and rediscover what it is about music that I fell in love with in the first place.” Once she finished answering the question, she shook her head and apologized. “I’m sorry I talked for so long, most of my socialization has just been with the husband and our son so I honestly suck at talking to adults now.” She cracked a smile and I had to crack one too. “You have had an astounding nineteen top-ten entries into the Billboard Hot 100. Seeing Red is projected to be the twentieth. What does that mean to you?” Candice sighed and pulled her legs up onto the couch to tuck them beneath her butt. “I think I used to care a lot, too much, about the charts and the numbers and the sales. Even with FUCKPOP and my whole onstage attitude change how I basically ran around with a bullhorn like ‘Fuck the numbers! They don’t matter!’ I still cared and I still got upset when a song didn’t do as well as I wanted it to. It’s hard, being a singer and not getting that full recognition. Because even though it’s a passion and an art it’s also still a job. And like with any job you want to do your absolute best and you want people to recognize you for that hard work and that’s why people get so fired up about these charts and these award shows and they tell their fans to ‘vote! vote! vote!’ because they want to feel like they’ve done their job. I get it. I don’t like that I get it but I get it. But at this point in my career, I’ve already proven everything I have to prove to everyone else. I wasn’t a one hit wonder, I wasn’t held up by the success of my group. I held my own in a very competitive and sometimes very sinister business and I did it my way. Now I’m doing this for myself and my son.” I smiled at her. “For your son?” She nodded her head. “One night I was tucking him into bed telling him he could be whatever he wanted to me and no one could stop him and I realized I was being a hypocrite. How could I sit there on my son’s bed and lie to him? Anyone can stop your dreams if you let them. I stopped myself. I let my fear of looking like a bad mother remove me from my passion projects and my job and I moved far away and became a stay at home mom. That’s not who I am and he knew it. At this point he’s seen a few videos of mommy performing on stage or my music videos and he knows. So I have to show him that you can have a family and a dream.” I nodded in understanding before I took another sip of my whiskey. “And Mikey is supportive of that?” Candice looked away from me at first, but eventually she looked back and giggled. “We were both seeing red at first,” she jokes. “But I think we’re both in a place now where we’re ready to make his dreams, my dreams and our son’s dreams all happen together.” “So you’re here full time now?” Candice nodded her head again. “The bitch is back.” I couldn’t help but laugh at her brief moment of diva-attitude. “Then a new album is on the way?” “If I can...” she looks down at her sweatshirt and the two words on it and smiles. “stay focused, then yes. There will be a new album.” “I speak on behalf of everyone when I say that we can’t wait. Thank you, Candice!” “No, no. Thank you.”

SEEING RED

[Seeing Red is the first pop song from Candice Cornell in over three years. After transitioning full time into rock music – and ultimately retiring from the industry altogether – she is back with the powerful new song everyone with a bit of a temper can relate to.]

Temperamental Yeah, I’m a little bit mental Call me unstable Can’t control what my mind does When it takes me over I go full animal Mauling and maiming Sentimental Protective of things That remind me of my good days Helps after so many of the bad So when you throw them away Know I’ll fly off the handle Yeah i know I’m a lot to handle No safe way to hold a double sided candle

I’m seeing red When I rage I envision Your body on the ground Lying dead I’m seeing red 0 to 100 Rage directed at you I’m seeing red I’m seeing red I see you dead When I’m seeing red

Off the hinges Fell off my rocker Teetered back and forth Just a little too fast Now you’re witnessing my harshest wrath Yeah, I’m a little neurotic Catch me always on edge You could call me psychotic I’ve had more blood on my hands Than in my veins You’d be insanely moronic If you ever tried to run from me

I’m seeing red When I rage I envision Your body on the ground Lying dead I’m seeing red 0 to 100 Rage directed at you I’m seeing red I’m seeing red I see you dead When I’m seeing red

Maybe I’m a little bit crazy And I hurt your feelings What good was breaking All those glass ceilings If I was just gonna build up Walls around myself Might not always treat you like The prize I know you are Believe me when I say I’m happier now that you’re here So please break in Come on, break me out This storm will pass And when it does I’ll be the woman You’ve always loved

I’m seeing red When I rage I envision Your body on the ground Lying dead I’m seeing red 0 to 100 Rage directed at you I’m seeing red I’m seeing red I see you dead When I’m seeing red

Intro Toned body Can't atone with me Took the music when he left Lover of the stars Cared more about his cars Than my career Tossed my records in the dirt Drug my name through it too Now I'm running on empty I need to refuel Sat across from a man so doped up That he's starting to drool To make it through a world so cruel I'm gonna need to pull up a barstool Nothing left in my glass To keep my mind still I think it's time to refill Boom! Boom. Boom... Can't get onto that couch again Sat there while you poked around in my mind And I didn't even know it  Yeah, it helped back then  But there's more barriers now A terrain once easy to navigate  Is now a mine field  That's ready to blow Yeah, it's ready to blow Boom! What was I so worried about Why was I shaking Did I cry over a guy Boom. Stressed out over meaningless things Couldn't see the good things Life continuously brings  Boom... Feels pretty damn good To finally at least feel okay Even if it's just for part of the day Boom! Boom. Boom... Same pill, same time, same day Not how I want to live  Not that way No not today I'd say not tomorrow  But will tomorrow even come This is what I deal with Where's that thought even from  My life's not that bad But on any given day  I go from passive to sad In three seconds flat  Really, why's my brain Dropping bombs like that  Boom! What was I so worried about Why was I shaking Did I cry over a guy Boom. Stressed out over meaningless things Couldn't see the good things Life continuously brings  Boom... Feels pretty damn good To finally at least feel okay Even if it's just for part of the day Boom! Boom. Boom... Don't want your bottle of solutions  That'll only help until they don't  Or until I won't  Or my body just can't  When I take a nosedive  Into the dark recesses of my mind I need something to lift me up Raise me up high  Why blackout on the ground  When I can light up in the sky Boom! What was I so worried about Why was I shaking Did I cry over a guy Boom. Stressed out over meaningless things Couldn't see the good things Life continuously brings  Boom... Feels pretty damn good To finally at least feel okay Even if it's just for part of the day Boom! Boom. Boom...

Ricochet I am on the road I'm on the run  Engaged in an arms race But forgot my gun What a sickening sound The way you recoil  Should've kept that safety on You shot, you missed Bet you didn't know those were  Poisoned lips that you kissed  You've unleashed a crazy woman Unearthed a fearless warrior Took aim at a retched soul  Give it some time Your misfirings will take their toll  Ricochet-et-et Pulled the trigger But you won't hit me, No, not today-ay-ay Each time you shoot at me That bullet's coming back to you  Ricochet-et-et Ricochet.  Don't even think about Raiding this caravan  I'm a caring woman  But I still have eyes on my back  Friends watch my six Armed with stones and sticks  I know what makes you tick I am the arms of the clock  I'll decide when Enough is enough  And when the end Of this war has come  Ricochet-et-et Pulled the trigger But you won't hit me, No, not today-ay-ay Every time you shoot at me That bullet's coming back to you  Ricochet-et-et Ricochet.  Bullets bouncing everywhere  Did you really think that I would not hear About the guns you played with  When I wasn't looking?  Caught a whiff of the lies You always seem to be cooking.  Don't hurt yourself trying to reload, It'll all be in vain. My rhyming ass already hit the road,  Ears ready to hear you cry out in pain.  Ricochet-et-et Pulled the trigger But you won't hit me, No, not today-ay-ay Every time you shoot at me That bullet's coming back to you  Ricochet-et-et Ricochet.  It Hurts If I ain't screamin I ain't happy Don't need roses Poems are sappy Step back, step off Why don't you jerk off If you ain't hard enough To hurt me. If this ice cream Is labeled vanilla You can keep it, That shit ain't for me. I demand some with a kick, A slap or a hit. Make me say ay, papi Till my head game is sloppy Won't let nothing stop me Or you. Can't wait to put you on... lock And all I want is your... cock Ohhhhhhhh If your loving ain't... pain, Then I don't want it. Boys make it... rain, I need a man to make it storm Until my clothes are... torn And my body is... worn Ohhhhh fuck It Hurts, your lovin', It Hurts Hurt Me! Be the needle in my arm Come on and cause me harm As I come down from the high Won't you be my paul bearing guy  Fantasize about how my blood might taste Does that make me a vampire  Or masochistic waste  With the devil's arms Wrapped around my waist  Let me sink into this bed Come on, watch me drown  Life keeps slipping away  Cuz' I'm going down  Down, Down to where I belong  Dancing to Satan's song  Not expected to care  Not told to be strong  Yeah, I'm going down  I don't want to be your one and done cure I want to be your everyday drug Loving shouldn't be this pure Make this dirty Begging you to hurt me! Hurt me! Hurt me! Ohhhhhhhh Just don't desert me Hurt me! Hurt me! Fucking hurt me Be the liquor in my bottle Inebriate my ability to handle the throttle As my liver dies inside my body Will you wish to be the one to stop me Curious about the liquid on your lips I gave up the bottle But your lips I can't quit If I drink off them Do I still get my chip Sure I'm still sober This was just a slip Into the dark I go Where the shadows become one With those whose form they steal Into the dark I go Where the devil forged my name on his deal I don't want to be your one and done cure I want to be your everyday drug Loving shouldn't be this pure Make this dirty Begging you to hurt me!

INTRO This goes out to the heavy drinkers Who've bottomed out On another bottle This one's for the over-thinkers Who've run clean out Of excuses. This is a shoutout to the promiscuous Who've fucked themselves Into an undeserved slur. This record I dedicate to you Because I am with you I've been there too. So turn this up loud And roll your windows down This is our anthem A sound just for you and me So put the bottle down Come on and lift your shirt up Get nasty in every rest stop This is ROADPOP VOLCANO After years of dormancy I've finally erupted Resorted to alcoholic consumption Because I'd rather submit To a toxic suicide  Than to go one more round On this god forsaken ride.  I'm a volcano-o-o-o-o-o. I keep it all inside until the day I Blow-o-o-o-o-o.  What finally comes out will burn you, Leave a scar. No matter how far you run, I can reach farther  Than the ash cloud Of a vol-ca-no-o-o-o.  So fucking destructive Hot headed from 0 to 100 I'm insanely eruptive Broken bottles are weapons Empty ones are killing me Can't turn off this insanity Genetics contaminated me I'm a volcano-o-o-o-o-o. I keep it all inside until the day I Blow-o-o-o-o-o.  What finally comes out will burn you, Leave a scar. No matter how far you run, I can reach farther  Than the ash cloud Of a vol-ca-no-o-o-o.  Never limited to just one more I'll clear the shelves in the liquor store More inclined to a morning road pop Than a stop at the coffee shop I'm highly functional My relationships are dysfunctional Hence the two-time nuptials I'm a volcano-o-o-o-o-o. I keep it all inside until the day I Blow-o-o-o-o-o.  What finally comes out will burn you, Leave a scar. No matter how far you run, I can reach farther  Than the ash cloud Of a vol-ca-no-o-o-o.  I'm a volcano. I'm a volcano. I'm a vol-ca-nooooo! TROJAN HORSE You're perfectly sculpted Like a true gift from God. With the parts of an Adonis Even I'd consider a ride on this. How could something That looks like that Be a threat to my heart? That thought proved a fatal error, Now let the onslaught start. Now that my heart's been pillaged And my soul is left in ruins, The world will see my worst. Others have tried to Break down these walls But you just came right through them. I never saw it coming, Just opened right up For a Trojan Horse. I ordered my gate raised Threw away the lock And handed you the key. I see now that I made it All too easy For someone so sleazy To get right to me. Can't trust myself with a gate So I'll build another wall in its place. Now that my heart's been pillaged And my soul is left in ruins, The world will see my worst. Others have tried to Break down these walls But you just came right through them. I never saw it coming, Just opened right up For a Trojan Horse. Part of me wonders If I enjoy the chaos A little too much. I sit back as it all crumbles And another flame burns out. Am I the one that was fooled Or have I been hiding out In a horse of my own Riding from heart to heart Doing some damage that I don't know? The exact number of men I've destroyed Would break your heart like a bone. Others have tried to Break down those walls But I'll just come right through them. You'll never see it coming, Just open right up For a Trojan Horse. Now that your heart's been pillaged And your soul is left in ruins, You've seen me at my worst. Now it's time to show me yours, Open up for my Trojan Horse. CHEETAH You think the cum stains on the bed Weren't a dead giveaway? You know I swallow But you busted over a hollow Little valley bitch And that's exactly how You got that itch Between your legs Let's hear you beg For once more chance But I'll hold my stance That you can't have me When your dick's that crabby. I stormed in You took off so fast Like a cheetah. Both sides of the bed Look like they've been slept in My, oh my, no wonder you ran off. Your ass is busted, Cheata'. When I kiss you I taste her pussy You stupid bitch I'd rather go down on her On my own. Don't want no second hand Lesbian love I'll spread her legs With a wink of my eye In the blink of an eye I'll be getting her off She won't need your pie Already got her filling Running down her thigh. I stormed in You took off so fast Like a cheetah. Both sides of the bed Look like they've been slept in My, oh my, no wonder you ran off. Your ass is busted, Cheata'. I'm gonna cut this food chain Your supply is gone. I'm not a man eater, Just a cheater beater. Carpet munching through The jungle's brush. If you hate that I do it Then stop giving me reasons To continuously declare This open season. I stormed in You took off so fast Like a cheetah. Both sides of the bed Look like they've been slept in My, oh my, no wonder you ran off. Your ass is busted, Cheata'. LACED What is this shit I'm on? Kinda forgot how good it feels To be hit on. Who is this bitch I'm on? Blonde haired beauty queen Goddamn that tongue is mean. Someone must've spiked this drink, Poured my reservations down the sink, I've got a taste for something pink. This shit is laced, laced, laced. Fucking so fast paced, paced, paced. It ain't a race, race, race. No make up, no filter. Fresh faced, faced, faced. Goddamn this love is laced, laced, laced.

FUNERAL DAY I am the one who Held you when you cried. But where were you When the world thought I died? I was shot, left for dead. Slain in the room Built beneath our bed. Still you walked away On my funeral day. I know she's younger But is she better? She ain't wiser, You know I'm stronger. I guess what matters Is that you're happy With someone who can hold on Just a little bit longer. I won't pretend that I'm not hurt, Won't look on as you kiss her. There's pictures of you Every time you leave That home you've created with her. Love makes a family And I can see clearly That even when I took your name I was never really let in, Never a part of your kin. I am the one who Held you when you cried. But where were you When the world thought I died? I was shot, left for dead. Slain in the room Built beneath our bed. Still you walked away On my funeral day. I can see she's pretty. And I've heard she's kind. Throw a little sexy into the mix, Hell I'd salute her too. But none of that really matters If she'll stand by someone like you. You have your moments, that's true, Where you can be a decent human. At the end of the night When you turn out the lights And the TV goes on, Prepared for the fights And not for your wife Who's self conscious, deprived, Barely feeling alive. Marriage was shitty And I got hurt My fingers are crossed that she Will be the one to survive. I am the one who Held you when you cried. But where were you When the world thought I died? I was shot, left for dead. Slain in the room Built beneath our bed. Still you walked away On my funeral day. Weren't there to carry my casket Not there to lay down a rose Who threw that handful of dirt Into my empty grave If you were nowhere to be found? If a dead girl cries out In an abandoned motel room Does she even make a sound? Left alone, left for dead With no eulogy to be said By the man who claimed he loved me Who doesn't even care That my blood was shed Never came back to the house Where the carpet's stained red. I am the one who Held you when you cried. But where were you When the world thought I died? I was shot, left for dead. Slain in the room Built beneath our bed. Still you walked away On my funeral day. NUCLEAR  I thought it'd hurt when you dropped me. Was prepared to scream, But I just whistled the whole way down.  It wasn't until I hit the ground  That I lost all control  And you heard that deafening sound. Four little letters: G-O-N-E. You know what you created: B-O-M-B. This timer's almost all ticked out, This clock has run its course, Attached to a weapon with no remorse.  Yeah we started with a bang! You went out with a whimper. Not sure what else to say, I can't make it any simpler.  You tried so hard to contain me But I've already gone nuclear. Don't want to hear you cry 'Cuz of the fallout you invited.  I can sense your skin's starting to crawl, Not long 'fore it's bubbling up.  Boils atop your flawless flesh, No matter how much your eyes start to burn There's no stopping those tears. Was this missile backfiring  Your secret hope Or the realization of your greatest fears?  What pain feels stronger, The initial blast or the aftermath? It's an unfair world and you just  Placed every last man in my warpath. Yeah we started with a bang! You went out with a whimper. Not sure what else to say, I can't make it any simpler.  You tried so hard to contain me But I've already gone nuclear. Don't want to hear you cry 'Cuz of the fallout you invited.  Don't blame me for the devastation!  You're the one that armed me. Loaded me up with ammunition! Then sent me off to the sea. Pressed the detonator remotely! But all that did was set me free. Yeah we started with a bang! You went out with a whimper. Not sure what else to say, I can't make it any simpler.  You tried so hard to contain me But I've already gone nuclear. Don't want to hear you cry 'Cuz of the fallout you invited.  WANDERING Wanna be Cleo to Caesar Marilyn to Kennedy Want a man in Cali And in Tennessee Give me a ruler A political poster child And a sun-kissed cowboy Don't want a traveling boy toy That lives to kiss me Just want a bunch of good men Waiting for me in each city I'm wandering, wandering Don't want your heart again, no I'm wandering, wandering You can come to the green room But you'd better get Lost before the show I don't commit, don't you know I'm wandering, wandering Don't stalk me Talk to me Try to put a ring on me I just wanna be free I won't invite you Entice you Try to seduce you That's not what I do Don't do this to us Try to tame us To chain us This is nothing more than lust.

I walked in feeling like the hottest thing Since Kurt, Robert and Mick But I walked out Looking like the dumbest bitch And all my friends were gone. The second I looked at that chart I thought... This Is A Disaster! I just wanted to fuck pop Never expected rock to fuck me too Now that pop won't take me back I'm on my own. Back to the blueprints, Got my hard head and a pen, Let's build something made to last. I walked in feeling like the hottest thing Since Kurt, Robert and Mick But I walked out Looking like the dumbest bitch And all my friends were gone. The second I looked at that chart I thought... This Is A Disaster! So maybe I was mean, And I sure wasn't clean, Hell, maybe I'll never be. But I'm still standing on My own two feet Refusing to be beat. Might not sell my soul To rock-n-roll But I'll still sing my heart out Till there's no pulse left. I walked in feeling like the hottest thing Since Kurt, Robert and Mick But I walked out Looking like the dumbest bitch And all my friends were gone. The second I looked at that chart I thought... This Is A Disaster! FADulous Change a few curls Adjust a few hemlines Cut the neckline You'll be next inline For a solid fifteen minutes But that limelight Will burn bright forever Just not always for you You're not that clever You can't copy and paste And expect to thrive In Tinseltown That's no way to survive You say you wanna be fabulous So quit conforming! You say you wanna be fabulous So forge your own path! You say you wanna be fabulous It's not all glitz and glamor We all feel the weight of the hammer. Don't sell out to be fabulous Don't be fooled, its FADulous! You can sample a few chords A few words It won't hurt But if you change your sound To be cool You'll be left In the past. The first shall be last And the last shall be first Artistic robbery may help you succeed But you'll never be the best If you can't sleep with your conscience Then you're probably the worst You say you wanna be fabulous So quit conforming! You say you wanna be fabulous So forge your own path! You say you wanna be fabulous It's not all glitz and glamor We all feel the weight of the hammer. Don't sell out to be fabulous Don't be fooled, its FADulous! F-A-B-ulous Red carpet walking Sharon Stone stalking Barbara Walters talking F-A-D-ulous! One glove on your hand Paparazzi hiding in the sand Your honor We've got a liar on the stand F-A-B-ulous Fabulous, fa-fabulous. F-A-D-ulous. Fadulous, you're s-so fucking bad at this.

TOMBOY Guess it's true what they say The apples don't fall Far from the tree. Even though that tree uprooted, Dropped two apples but A third couldn't quite break free. Poisoned by the toxic vines That wrapped around the trunk. That's an apple no one should eat. We were told to watch out For the evil queen No one was prepared For the wicked king. It's dangerous How sweet it looks And how good it sounds. That apple was passed around Handled by all And no one ever knew. I was offered food When I was starving I took a bite And it was all downhill from there. Thought being a Tomboy Could save me from Tom's boy But I was forced to play That poor little princess part. That damn damsel in distress role Just had to be filled. We all know that story ends With the bad guys getting killed. Had me a huntsman But he died too, It was all too tragic For my son's storybook. Sorry if your daughters were hurt By Prince Harming It's a cold bloodline Warmed by his sisters' hearts. It's dangerous How sweet it looks And how good it sounds. That apple was passed around Handled by all And no one ever knew. I was offered food When I was starving I took a bite And it was all downhill from there. Thought being a Tomboy Could save me from Tom's boy But I was forced to play That poor little princess part. Tomboy, Tomboy. Did you foresee The end of your reign? Tom's boy, Tom's boy. Dealt false sympathy for decades While getting off on my pain. Tom's girl, Tom's girl. I'm sorry that the dark Is where you come from, But baby girl, you and I, We're headed someplace bright. It's dangerous How sweet it looks And how good it sounds. That apple was passed around Handled by all And no one ever knew. I was offered food When I was starving I took a bite And it was all downhill from there. Thought being a Tomboy Could save me from Tom's boy But I was forced to play That poor little princess part.

ROADPOP

INTRO This goes out to the heavy drinkers Who've bottomed out On another bottle This one's for the over-thinkers Who've run clean out Of excuses. This is a shoutout to the promiscuous Who've fucked themselves Into an undeserved slur. This record I dedicate to you Because I am with you I've been there too. So turn this up loud And roll your windows down This is our anthem A sound just for you and me So put the bottle down Come on and lift your shirt up Get nasty in every rest stop This is ROADPOP VOLCANO After years of dormancy I've finally erupted Resorted to alcoholic consumption Because I'd rather submit To a toxic suicide  Than to go one more round On this god forsaken ride.  I'm a volcano-o-o-o-o-o. I keep it all inside until the day I Blow-o-o-o-o-o.  What finally comes out will burn you, Leave a scar. No matter how far you run, I can reach farther  Than the ash cloud Of a vol-ca-no-o-o-o.  So fucking destructive Hot headed from 0 to 100 I'm insanely eruptive Broken bottles are weapons Empty ones are killing me Can't turn off this insanity Genetics contaminated me I'm a volcano-o-o-o-o-o. I keep it all inside until the day I Blow-o-o-o-o-o.  What finally comes out will burn you, Leave a scar. No matter how far you run, I can reach farther  Than the ash cloud Of a vol-ca-no-o-o-o.  Never limited to just one more I'll clear the shelves in the liquor store More inclined to a morning road pop Than a stop at the coffee shop I'm highly functional My relationships are dysfunctional Hence the two-time nuptials I'm a volcano-o-o-o-o-o. I keep it all inside until the day I Blow-o-o-o-o-o.  What finally comes out will burn you, Leave a scar. No matter how far you run, I can reach farther  Than the ash cloud Of a vol-ca-no-o-o-o.  I'm a volcano. I'm a volcano. I'm a vol-ca-nooooo! TROJAN HORSE You're perfectly sculpted Like a true gift from God. With the parts of an Adonis Even I'd consider a ride on this. How could something That looks like that Be a threat to my heart? That thought proved a fatal error, Now let the onslaught start. Now that my heart's been pillaged And my soul is left in ruins, The world will see my worst. Others have tried to Break down these walls But you just came right through them. I never saw it coming, Just opened right up For a Trojan Horse. I ordered my gate raised Threw away the lock And handed you the key. I see now that I made it All too easy For someone so sleazy To get right to me. Can't trust myself with a gate So I'll build another wall in its place. Now that my heart's been pillaged And my soul is left in ruins, The world will see my worst. Others have tried to Break down these walls But you just came right through them. I never saw it coming, Just opened right up For a Trojan Horse. Part of me wonders If I enjoy the chaos A little too much. I sit back as it all crumbles And another flame burns out. Am I the one that was fooled Or have I been hiding out In a horse of my own Riding from heart to heart Doing some damage that I don't know? The exact number of men I've destroyed Would break your heart like a bone. Others have tried to Break down those walls But I'll just come right through them. You'll never see it coming, Just open right up For a Trojan Horse. Now that your heart's been pillaged And your soul is left in ruins, You've seen me at my worst. Now it's time to show me yours, Open up for my Trojan Horse. CHEETAH You think the cum stains on the bed Weren't a dead giveaway? You know I swallow But you busted over a hollow Little valley bitch And that's exactly how You got that itch Between your legs Let's hear you beg For once more chance But I'll hold my stance That you can't have me When your dick's that crabby. I stormed in You took off so fast Like a cheetah. Both sides of the bed Look like they've been slept in My, oh my, no wonder you ran off. Your ass is busted, Cheata'. When I kiss you I taste her pussy You stupid bitch I'd rather go down on her On my own. Don't want no second hand Lesbian love I'll spread her legs With a wink of my eye In the blink of an eye I'll be getting her off She won't need your pie Already got her filling Running down her thigh. I stormed in You took off so fast Like a cheetah. Both sides of the bed Look like they've been slept in My, oh my, no wonder you ran off. Your ass is busted, Cheata'. I'm gonna cut this food chain Your supply is gone. I'm not a man eater, Just a cheater beater. Carpet munching through The jungle's brush. If you hate that I do it Then stop giving me reasons To continuously declare This open season. I stormed in You took off so fast Like a cheetah. Both sides of the bed Look like they've been slept in My, oh my, no wonder you ran off. Your ass is busted, Cheata'. LACED What is this shit I'm on? Kinda forgot how good it feels To be hit on. Who is this bitch I'm on? Blonde haired beauty queen Goddamn that tongue is mean. Someone must've spiked this drink, Poured my reservations down the sink, I've got a taste for something pink. This shit is laced, laced, laced. Fucking so fast paced, paced, paced. It ain't a race, race, race. No make up, no filter. Fresh faced, faced, faced. Goddamn this love is laced, laced, laced. What is this shit I'm on? Kind of forget what the Ground feels like. I've been elevated for months Strung both out and along My nerves are shot I just wanted one hit But once I had that I needed more To keep my sanity Was this love Or vanity? This shit is laced, laced, laced. Fucking so fast paced, paced, paced. It ain't a race, race, race. No make up, no filter. Fresh faced, faced, faced. Goddamn this love is laced, laced, laced. Heart cracked by the Crack-like love you give Shoot me up Just to shoot me down I'm high I'm low From show to show And shore to shore Am I your wife or a whore This shit is laced, laced, laced. Fucking so fast paced, paced, paced. It ain't a race, race, race. No make up, no filter. Fresh faced, faced, faced. Goddamn this love is laced, laced, laced. FUNERAL DAY I am the one who Held you when you cried. But where were you When the world thought I died? I was shot, left for dead. Slain in the room Built beneath our bed. Still you walked away On my funeral day. I know she's younger But is she better? She ain't wiser, You know I'm stronger. I guess what matters Is that you're happy With someone who can hold on Just a little bit longer. I won't pretend that I'm not hurt, Won't look on as you kiss her. There's pictures of you Every time you leave That home you've created with her. Love makes a family And I can see clearly That even when I took your name I was never really let in, Never a part of your kin. I am the one who Held you when you cried. But where were you When the world thought I died? I was shot, left for dead. Slain in the room Built beneath our bed. Still you walked away On my funeral day. I can see she's pretty. And I've heard she's kind. Throw a little sexy into the mix, Hell I'd salute her too. But none of that really matters If she'll stand by someone like you. You have your moments, that's true, Where you can be a decent human. At the end of the night When you turn out the lights And the TV goes on, Prepared for the fights And not for your wife Who's self conscious, deprived, Barely feeling alive. Marriage was shitty And I got hurt My fingers are crossed that she Will be the one to survive. I am the one who Held you when you cried. But where were you When the world thought I died? I was shot, left for dead. Slain in the room Built beneath our bed. Still you walked away On my funeral day. Weren't there to carry my casket Not there to lay down a rose Who threw that handful of dirt Into my empty grave If you were nowhere to be found? If a dead girl cries out In an abandoned motel room Does she even make a sound? Left alone, left for dead With no eulogy to be said By the man who claimed he loved me Who doesn't even care That my blood was shed Never came back to the house Where the carpet's stained red. I am the one who Held you when you cried. But where were you When the world thought I died? I was shot, left for dead. Slain in the room Built beneath our bed. Still you walked away On my funeral day. NUCLEAR  I thought it'd hurt when you dropped me. Was prepared to scream, But I just whistled the whole way down.  It wasn't until I hit the ground  That I lost all control  And you heard that deafening sound. Four little letters: G-O-N-E. You know what you created: B-O-M-B. This timer's almost all ticked out, This clock has run its course, Attached to a weapon with no remorse.  Yeah we started with a bang! You went out with a whimper. Not sure what else to say, I can't make it any simpler.  You tried so hard to contain me But I've already gone nuclear. Don't want to hear you cry 'Cuz of the fallout you invited.  I can sense your skin's starting to crawl, Not long 'fore it's bubbling up.  Boils atop your flawless flesh, No matter how much your eyes start to burn There's no stopping those tears. Was this missile backfiring  Your secret hope Or the realization of your greatest fears?  What pain feels stronger, The initial blast or the aftermath? It's an unfair world and you just  Placed every last man in my warpath. Yeah we started with a bang! You went out with a whimper. Not sure what else to say, I can't make it any simpler.  You tried so hard to contain me But I've already gone nuclear. Don't want to hear you cry 'Cuz of the fallout you invited.  Don't blame me for the devastation!  You're the one that armed me. Loaded me up with ammunition! Then sent me off to the sea. Pressed the detonator remotely! But all that did was set me free. Yeah we started with a bang! You went out with a whimper. Not sure what else to say, I can't make it any simpler.  You tried so hard to contain me But I've already gone nuclear. Don't want to hear you cry 'Cuz of the fallout you invited.  WANDERING Wanna be Cleo to Caesar Marilyn to Kennedy Want a man in Cali And in Tennessee Give me a ruler A political poster child And a sun-kissed cowboy Don't want a traveling boy toy That lives to kiss me Just want a bunch of good men Waiting for me in each city I'm wandering, wandering Don't want your heart again, no I'm wandering, wandering You can come to the green room But you'd better get Lost before the show I don't commit, don't you know I'm wandering, wandering Don't stalk me Talk to me Try to put a ring on me I just wanna be free I won't invite you Entice you Try to seduce you That's not what I do Don't do this to us Try to tame us To chain us This is nothing more than lust.

Someone's been lying with her men. Someone's been fucking with her head! Oh, she just don't know. This boy is just too small. Is there such a thing as too big? Might never find a boy to please her, So she'll just keep trying them all. Oh, someone please make Goldilocks Glow. She's been with boys so cold They'd leave when they learned her age. What's wrong with being old? Just means she knows her way around. Been with boys so hot They thought they were invincible, So they'd lie, they'd cheat, they'd steal Rather than earn an honest meal. Girl's in need of a real man, God, what's the fucking deal? Someone's been sleeping in her bed! Someone's been lying with her men. Someone's been fucking with her head! Oh, she just don't know. This boy is just too small. Is there such a thing as too big? Might never find a boy to please her, So she'll just keep trying them all. Oh, someone please make Goldilocks Glow. Too hard, too soft. Too big, too small. What can I say? She's insatiable. Too hot, too cold. No men fit her mold But this brown haired freak Is her flavor of the week. She likes the porridge in my bowl And I make her eyes roll. Someone's been sleeping in her bed! Someone's been lying with her men. Someone's been fucking with her head! Oh, she just don't know. This boy is just too small. Is there such a thing as too big? Might never find a boy to please her, So she'll just keep trying them all. Oh, someone please make Goldilocks Glow.

PRETTY BOYS I don't fuck with city boys That wear their collars  Higher than their state of mind. That's a high rise, Been taking hit after hit since three. Hot boxing in their daddy's Ferrari  The biggest disappointment  Walking in three hundred dollar sneakers. Pretty Boys! Pretty Boys!  You're just a shot away  From not knowing the difference In what's between my legs and yours. Throw another one back. Pretty Boys! Pretty Boys!  No I don't want your money And I sure don't want your sex.  Not gonna kiss you Just to take a hit. I can get high on my own, Pretty Boys.  No I don't want to fuck pretty boys That pose nice and proper in their prom picture Only to fuck their way on down the court  From the Queen on down to the sixth runner up Yeah I bet he called each last one a slut. They blame their tiny problem On some poor innocent Captain Cuz they can't set sail in these seas. Pretty Boys! Pretty Boys!  You're just a shot away  From not knowing the difference In what's between my legs and yours. Throw another one back!  Pretty Boys! Pretty Boys!  No I don't want your money And I sure don't want your sex.  Not gonna let you seduce me Just to reach climax. I can get off on my own, Pretty Boys.  I'm not fucking around here, pretty boy So quit puffing your chest  And get back to walking With your tail between your legs.  I've knocked men down for a lot less Than the dirty things you're trying to do.  What the hell is it about Fucked up minds and ugly hearts In the bodies of pretty boys like you?  Pretty Boys! Pretty Boys!  You're just a shot away  From not knowing the difference In what's between my legs and yours. Throw another one back!  Pretty Boys! Pretty Boys!  No I don't want your money And I sure don't want your sex.  Not gonna kiss you Just to take a hit. I can get high on my own, I can get off on my own, Better off on my own, Pretty Boys.  THIS IS A DISASTER So about this time last year I stumbled and fell In front of thirty people Plus two million I was just not right Judgement blinded by spotlight Forgot how fast I tend to run. I walked in feeling like the hottest thing Since Kurt, Robert and Mick But I walked out Looking like the dumbest bitch And all my friends were gone. The second I looked at that chart I thought... This Is A Disaster! I just wanted to fuck pop Never expected rock to fuck me too Now that pop won't take me back I'm on my own. Back to the blueprints, Got my hard head and a pen, Let's build something made to last. I walked in feeling like the hottest thing Since Kurt, Robert and Mick But I walked out Looking like the dumbest bitch And all my friends were gone. The second I looked at that chart I thought... This Is A Disaster! So maybe I was mean, And I sure wasn't clean, Hell, maybe I'll never be. But I'm still standing on My own two feet Refusing to be beat. Might not sell my soul To rock-n-roll But I'll still sing my heart out Till there's no pulse left. I walked in feeling like the hottest thing Since Kurt, Robert and Mick But I walked out Looking like the dumbest bitch And all my friends were gone. The second I looked at that chart I thought... This Is A Disaster! FADulous Change a few curls Adjust a few hemlines Cut the neckline You'll be next inline For a solid fifteen minutes But that limelight Will burn bright forever Just not always for you You're not that clever You can't copy and paste And expect to thrive In Tinseltown That's no way to survive You say you wanna be fabulous So quit conforming! You say you wanna be fabulous So forge your own path! You say you wanna be fabulous It's not all glitz and glamor We all feel the weight of the hammer. Don't sell out to be fabulous Don't be fooled, its FADulous! You can sample a few chords A few words It won't hurt But if you change your sound To be cool You'll be left In the past. The first shall be last And the last shall be first Artistic robbery may help you succeed But you'll never be the best If you can't sleep with your conscience Then you're probably the worst You say you wanna be fabulous So quit conforming! You say you wanna be fabulous So forge your own path! You say you wanna be fabulous It's not all glitz and glamor We all feel the weight of the hammer. Don't sell out to be fabulous Don't be fooled, its FADulous! F-A-B-ulous Red carpet walking Sharon Stone stalking Barbara Walters talking F-A-D-ulous! One glove on your hand Paparazzi hiding in the sand Your honor We've got a liar on the stand F-A-B-ulous Fabulous, fa-fabulous. F-A-D-ulous. Fadulous, you're s-so fucking bad at this. You say you wanna be fabulous So quit conforming! You say you wanna be fabulous So forge your own path! You say you wanna be fabulous It's not all glitz and glamor, We all feel the weight of the hammer. Don't sell out to be fabulous, Don't be fooled, its FADulous! TOMBOY Guess it's true what they say The apples don't fall Far from the tree. Even though that tree uprooted, Dropped two apples but A third couldn't quite break free. Poisoned by the toxic vines That wrapped around the trunk. That's an apple no one should eat. We were told to watch out For the evil queen No one was prepared For the wicked king. It's dangerous How sweet it looks And how good it sounds. That apple was passed around Handled by all And no one ever knew. I was offered food When I was starving I took a bite And it was all downhill from there. Thought being a Tomboy Could save me from Tom's boy But I was forced to play That poor little princess part. That damn damsel in distress role Just had to be filled. We all know that story ends With the bad guys getting killed. Had me a huntsman But he died too, It was all too tragic For my son's storybook. Sorry if your daughters were hurt By Prince Harming It's a cold bloodline Warmed by his sisters' hearts. It's dangerous How sweet it looks And how good it sounds. That apple was passed around Handled by all And no one ever knew. I was offered food When I was starving I took a bite And it was all downhill from there. Thought being a Tomboy Could save me from Tom's boy But I was forced to play That poor little princess part. Tomboy, Tomboy. Did you foresee The end of your reign? Tom's boy, Tom's boy. Dealt false sympathy for decades While getting off on my pain. Tom's girl, Tom's girl. I'm sorry that the dark Is where you come from, But baby girl, you and I, We're headed someplace bright. It's dangerous How sweet it looks And how good it sounds. That apple was passed around Handled by all And no one ever knew. I was offered food When I was starving I took a bite And it was all downhill from there. Thought being a Tomboy Could save me from Tom's boy But I was forced to play That poor little princess part.

HOLY LOVER

MARY She gave it all up Before he came along Not pure for their wedding No water into wine She couldn't help it With a body like that. At least that's what they Told her when they sold her. Nothing makes money Like a body. This girl has your mother's name But she's just a hooker That's after your fame! How could a man so holy Get so down And get so dirty? With a girl like that You'll be dead by thirty-three. It must be a Mary thing What with all the teen pregnancies And the sleeping around. It's no wonder everyone from Herod to Pilat wants you dead. They can see quite clearly That you're surrounded by perversion. Spewing blasphemy and Acting like holy words were said. Climb down off the mound, This sermon is done. This girl has your mother's name But she's just a hooker That's after your fame! How could a man so holy Get so down And get so dirty? With a girl like that You'll be dead by thirty-three. What's more frowned upon? Being a slut or a saint? Does it really matter, They both get buried the same way. In the end we're all just Filler for the dirt. Only a matter of moments Before we begin to decay. Out of sight. Might be forgiven, But we'll still be forgotten. This girl has your mother's name But she's just a hooker That's after your fame! How could a man so holy Get so down And get so dirty? With a girl like that You'll be dead by thirty-three. GIVE YOU HELL Feel that heat on your neck You think that's just my breath But it's fire. Can't catch your breath Just watching as the flames Burn higher. I'd tell you I'm like this With every man but I'd be A liar. I'm here to give you hell, But why's that gotta be a bad thing? It means I'm gonna make it hot, And the only way to hell Is to go down. Oh, yeah, baby. I'm gonna give you hell. The road to hell Is cemented by Men like you And taken by Girls like me. I'm on your cement Cement, Cement. Keep smirking, baby. You know what I meant. I'm here to give you hell, But why's that gotta be a bad thing? It means I'm gonna make it hot, And the only way to hell Is to go down. Oh, yeah, baby. I'm gonna give you hell. Burn, baby. Burn! For all your sins Against God and man. Burn, baby. Burn! For all your sins Inside my bed. Burn, baby. Burn! For all the asses You've been in! I'm here to give you hell, But why's that gotta be a bad thing? It means I'm gonna make it hot, And the only way to hell Is to go down. Oh, yeah, baby. I'm gonna give you hell. CHOIR OF ANGELS Can you hear the organs playing Our song? Can you hear heaven's harmonies That have played for centuries long. Can you hear the ignition of my halo? Can you see my transfiguration? It's time to hear the music Before you face elimination. Disrobe, my angels! We're going to hell tonight. We're gonna raise some spirits! Gonna shed some light. When he hears us singing He'll know that he fucked up. You could've chimed in with My Choir of Angels, Now you'll hear my kingdom come. Oh! You used God's gifts for evil. Oh! You used them to sin. Oh! Why'd you have to do that?! Oh! You really thought you could win? Each little voice echoes your mistakes While the fire rises and the earth quakes. Yeah we might be angels, But even our hearts break. Disrobe, my angels! We're going to hell tonight. We're gonna raise some spirits! Gonna shed some light. When he hears us singing He'll know that he fucked up. You could've chimed in with My Choir of Angels, Now you'll hear my kingdom come. My kingdom, kingdom, kingdom come. If you disrobe my angels Then I'll smite for sure. They may not act pure But that doesn't make them yours. Each little angel Belongs to me Protected by my powers While you fall for hours A hell of a lot deeper Than six feet under For all you pillage and plunder God might send the lighting But I bring the thunder. Disrobe, my angels! We're going to hell tonight. We're gonna raise some spirits! Gonna shed some light. When he hears us singing He'll know that he fucked up. You could've chimed in with My Choir of Angels, Now you'll hear my kingdom come. DEVILS DOWN HERE Seven colors That tend to piss people off More than the seven deadly sins. Why does a symbol of love Incite so much hate? Why do two men kissing Have to close heavens gate? Just lay your head down It'll be okay, We can take it from here. The fight rages on But you've done your part. We may have lost this battle But it's just the start. Go on ahead and be an angel, Don't be afraid of the Devils Down Here. The only flashes inside that room Should be from fancy lights Or the snapping of a camera. When those lethal bullets sprayed No one even saw it coming Sanctuary to those inside But a big target to the ordinary. Just lay your head down It'll be okay, We can take it from here. The fight rages on But you've done your part. We may have lost this battle But it's just the start. Go on ahead and be an angel, Don't be afraid of the Devils Down Here. If she loves her, let them be, Is this not the land of the free? Why is it so damn hard to see, The human in humanity. We're here, we're queer. Taking the wheel, Time to steer Away from hate Away from fear. Just lay your head down It'll be okay, We can take it from here. The fight rages on But you've done your part. We may have lost this battle But it's just the start. Go on ahead and be an angel, Don't be afraid of the Devils Down Here. GENUFLECTION You're a man before God Acting like a God amongst men. You're a greedy little bitch Itching for what you can't have. You could pray for my parts Since no penny or dollar Will get these clothes off me. No those days are gone, You only get what I want to give. But you stay undeserving, So I'll keep you on your knees. Would you pass my inspection Deserve my salvation Give me recognition? Will you use inflection When saying my name? These holy grounds Are set for detonation. Gold coins devalued by inflation. Armageddon is here And I can sense your fear. Get to your knees When I enter a room. Genuflection. What do I look like from down there? How do they look from down there? I like the way you pout down there. Waiting for your tongue to go Where I need it. If you're gonna use that spear, Then you know where I want your seed at. Don't you dare bat those lashes, Brown beady eyes won't Get me down to your level. Keep your eyes on the prize I'll prepare it for one final demise. Would you pass my inspection Deserve my salvation Give me recognition? Will you use inflection When saying my name? These holy grounds Are set for detonation. Gold coins devalued by inflation. Armageddon is here And I can sense your fear. Get to your knees When I enter a room. Genuflection. HOLY LOVER He came for me Came down for me Came here for me To bleed for me To die for me. I knelt down for him Came around to him Came out of the dark for him To hear him out To weep when he cried out. Holy, Holy, Holy Lover! Why'd you have to do that, Why'd you have to go? Holy, Holy, Holy Lover! I'd never deny you, Told them I love you so. Holy Lover. He broke bread with me Tears he shed with me Fed a hungry me What a saint. I cleaned him off I called his bluff When he said He didn't come for me. Oh I wish he'd been bluffing When he said he'd Go to hell for me. Holy, Holy, Holy Lover! Why'd you have to do that, Why'd you have to go? Holy, Holy, Holy Lover! I'd never deny you, Told them I love you so. Holy Lover. Thought they'd nail your hands But they fired on your head. They saved the spear for me, While I laid and bled You laid there dead. Only comfort is knowing I might see you again Be it in hell or heaven. Holy, Holy, Holy Lover! Why'd you have to do that, Why'd you have to go? Holy, Holy, Holy Lover! I'd never deny you, Told them I love you so. Holy Lover. UNHOLY If your word came from the bible, Why does it sound like libel? If you're blessing me, Why does it feel like a curse? If you're mixing wine with poison What happens to my brain? What happens to my soul? Chains! Unholy chains! You've trapped me for forever, God damn that snake was clever. Fruit! Unholy fruit! How the hell'd you get so long? How'd you fall into this garden? How dare you? Now I'm Unholy too. Every last apple on your tree Just looked so ripe. Since it was already lit, I had to to smoke your pipe. Devil, devil, my darling devil, Why'd you have to fool me? You horny, horny little devil, Why'd you have to leave me drooling? Chains! Unholy chains! You've trapped me for forever, God damn that snake was clever. Fruit! Unholy fruit! How the hell'd you get so long? How'd you fall into this garden? How dare you? Now I'm Unholy too. If you pose as a layman Just to get you laid, man. What the hell's the matter with you? You acted like a priest, Or at the very least An old fashioned God fearing man. But when you got me alone, There was no room for Jesus In that room. No not for me, No not for you. Chains! Unholy chains! You've trapped me for forever, God damn that snake was clever. Fruit! Unholy fruit! How the hell'd you get so long? How'd you fall into this garden? How dare you? Now I'm Unholy too. ANGEL SCORNED I am heaven sent But I'm hell bound Have a seat, Father. I'll buy the first round. Down the hatch, That's what they say. But that's not where I'm headed, No, not today. I am the angel in the sky That keeps a close watch over you. These wings were made to fly, Got me that much closer to you. But what if this heavenly hair Hides the devil's horns? Hell hath no fury Like a angel scorned. Kneel down, child. Say your prayers. Now I lay you down to sleep, I pray you break and you weep. And if you should die before you wake, That goddamn soul is mine to take. I am the angel in the sky That keeps a close watch over you. These wings were made to fly, Got me that much closer to you. But what if this heavenly hair Hides the devil's horns? Hell hath no fury Like a angel scorned. They warned you Not to play with fire. I'm just an advocate For hire. Not my fault That the devil got me first. You've had bad nightmares But I'm your worst. I am the angel in the sky That keeps a close watch over you. These wings were made to fly, Got me that much closer to you. But what if this heavenly hair Hides the devil's horns? Hell hath no fury Like a angel scorned. ON THE CROSS Don't kiss me there, Not if you want me to survive. Don't kiss me there, Why don't you want me alive? Don't kiss me there, Keep your head above the sheets Before our two parts meet. Our two hearts beat as one, Sometimes I think you lie Just for fun. When I first felt that bullet, I didn't realize you held the gun. I'm on the cross I'm at a loss If I did this all for you, Why'd you give me up? Gave my body to you Gave it all up for you, I'm on the cross. Toss those coins, If you feel even a little guilty. Toss those coins, If you want to be forgiven. Toss those coins, If you want to sit beside me. Don't feel safe when you're behind me. Why do I love you? Please remind me. An unholy turncoat An ungodly betrayal At least that's what Matthew, Mark, Luke and John wrote. I'm on the cross I'm at a loss If I did this all for you, Why'd you give me up? Gave my body to you Gave it all up for you, I'm on the cross. Six inch nails Pierced my skin And broke my bones. That damn man's forsaken me. If I'm doing this for them, Then why are they casting stones? I do it for their sins From a lie to a murder. I die for every sin Between death and conception. I'm on the cross I'm at a loss If I did this all for you, Why'd you give me up? Gave my body to you Gave it all up for you, I'm on the cross. HOUR GLASS The clock don't stop ticking When you go to sleep. Think you can stop this tide Before you're in too deep? If I'm the Grimm Reaper Then you know why I've come Not a single time keeper Would say you still had some. Shouldn't have taken the bread. Shouldn't drink the wine. The second your lips stained red, You became mine. The moment you sipped from Our glass You flipped over The hour glass. That fine black hair Has turned a shade of gray. Your time to rest is here, Cuz' it's the seventh day. I don't want you to pray about it, Not enough holy words to say. You're not worth a save, I already forged your grave. Shouldn't have taken the bread. Shouldn't drink the wine. The second your lips stained red, You became mine. The moment you sipped from Our glass You flipped over The hour glass. Tick, tock. Tick, tock. Can't enter these pearly gates, I've already sealed the lock. Tick, tock. Tick, tock. Try to call out for God, But I've thrown the first rock. Stoned, Cold, poor baby. Eyes that red, Not long 'fore you're dead. Shouldn't have taken the bread. Shouldn't drink the wine. The second your lips stained red, You became mine. The moment you sipped from Our glass You flipped over The hour glass. REMEMBER YOU ARE DUST You've got something on your mind I can see it when I look at you Got something on your forehead, Is that cuz Jesus called for you? Are you hiding behind your prayers So that I won't see the truth? You won't fool me, I know the devil prays too. On judgement day I'll tell Him how you Drove me mad. I didn't mean for you to catch, Only wanted your house gone. And as I scatter what's left of you, I'll wonder if I ever even mattered to you. Remember you are dust, And dust you shall return. Burn baby, burn. Dipped my thumb in soot That's as black as my soul. It's as dark as my thoughts And as cold as my heart. As I smear it across your face I'm reminded of what a disgrace you are. A disgrace to your name, And the entire human race. On judgement day I'll tell Him how you Drove me mad. I didn't mean for you to catch, Only wanted your house gone. And as I scatter what's left of you, I'll wonder if I ever even mattered to you. Remember you are dust, And dust you shall return. Burn baby, burn. Burn, burn, baby burn. Let me warm myself By this human torch. Burn, burn, baby burn. Gonna have fun rolling in your ashes Like a pig in mud. Burn, burn, baby burn. Thanks for lighting up my life After bringing it so much darkness. On judgement day I'll tell Him how you Drove me mad. I didn't mean for you to catch, Only wanted your house gone. And as I scatter what's left of you, I'll wonder if I ever even mattered to you. Remember you are dust, And dust you shall return. Burn baby, burn. ©CRC Entertainment 2016

Relics From Ruins performs together for the first time with debut single 'Gargoyle'

"What's up, Lushed New York?!" Candice asks, standing at the microphone stand on the left. "We are so glad to be here tonight to introduce our new band," Cassie continues from the mic stand opposite her friend, a guitar hanging from her neck. "Relics From Ruins!" They shout together. The crowd cheers ecstatically as the inception of a new phase of each of these talented and successful women's careers happens right before their eyes. "Carefully crafted" Candice takes the first line, her hand rising slowly and gracefully. The beat is soft, each member of the band playing their respective instruments quietly. "And beautifully sculpted," Cassie delivers the second line, her voice in a lower register than Candice's. It's an odd contrast, especially given that each girl has only delivered one line before they switch once more. But it's haunting. Beautiful. A reminder that opposites can work together to make something incredible no matter what's happened in their past. "Created with purpose" "But now you're so worthless." After Cassie delivers the line, Candice tilts the mic stand slightly to the right, leaning with it as the tempo kicks up just slightly. "Poor, poor, pretty girl. You've fallen from grace, An unholy disgrace!" Cassie mirrors Candice, leaning away from her. "So pick up the pace Or get outta my face!" Boom. The drummer isn't holding back and neither is the bassist or the brunette solo chart topper who's fingers dance skillfully from guitar string to guitar string. The two brunette vocalists are using techniques far different from what's heard on either of their solo projects. It's raspier, louder. Strained on purpose, only when conveying emotion. This is rock-n-roll, and it's unexpected. With this new sound (for the pair) they sing the chorus together. "You're supposed to ward off evil You're supposed to warn us of death So why you always got a mouthful Of somethin' natural laced with meth. You're supposed to toil With the mortal coil But instead you're taking hits Off that goddamn foil You useless gargoyle!" Cassie moves upstage behind the mic stands while Candice counters downstage in front of them, the two of them swapping mic stands but taking their own microphones. Candice adjusts her in-ear monitor once they're settled, Cassie taking lead on this verse. "Give us a scream!" "Give us a shout." "Give us something!" "Don't let them in!" "Don't let us out." "Are you even listening?" "What're you bumbling about?" After alternating every line, Candice clutches her microphone directly with both hands, Cassie's palm wrapping around the neck of her guitar, silencing it instantly as they sing together. "It's all just nonsense. No chance now for recompense!" They repeat the chorus once more, leading into the third verse. Cassie pulls her microphone from the stand, walking downstage as she gives high fives to everyone in the front row. "You were supernatural, Now you're a goddamn paperweight." Candice does the same, giving her hips a few shakes when the drummer slams his sticks extra hard on a few beats. "You've just sealed your fate. A man made protector Ruined by man-made destroyers." They harmonize once more, throwing their arms around with each beat, punching the air for emphasis. "Don't have a single employer. Should've shot down evil, Instead you shot up. Now you're gonna burn up! You're supposed to ward off evil You're supposed to warn us of death So why you always got a mouthful Of somethin' natural laced with meth. You're supposed to toil With the mortal coil But instead you're taking hits Off that goddamn foil You useless gargooooyle!" Candice slides up into her upper resister, Cassie shifting down to tackle the lower part of the harmony as they face each other, dropping to their knees and leaning back as they belt out the final note, matched but not overpowered by the explosive applause ringing out from the partygoers.
