There once was a girl so in love There once was a girl who fell down from the sky up above with the whip of her skirt and her hair down down down down down down to the earth she had some things to learn Suit up, it’s your time in the sun Grow up, and know your place for once Eyes front, the show has just begun This life’s a masquerade We’ve all got our parts to play And there the girl stood Shirt starched white, bound tighter than it should Free bird just doing her time Out of love, out of light Body double rotting in the sunshine Father forgive her wandering eye, That girl was meant to burn Suit up, it’s your time in the sun (wish she could let her hair down down down down) Grow up, and know your place for once (wish she could let her guard down down down down) Eyes front, the show has just begun This life’s a masquerade We’ve all got our parts to play And it’s the fall The fall The fall The writing’s on the wall Suit up, it’s your time in the sun (wish she could let her hair down down down down) Grow up, and know your place for once (wish she could let her guard down down down down) Eyes front, the show has just begun This life’s a masquerade We’ve all got our parts to play

Summoning 04:14
Lyrics: Im sure to some I just seem obscene My heart hits To a different beat Call me and I’ll come up Beckon me with softness in your voice And I will fill your cup Call me and I’ll come out Streetlights flickerin’ And daddy’s on my mind Oh we’ve got time If I’m the One, The phantom in your dreams There’s just one Little thing I need You can kiss your reputation goodbye And get on your knees Call me and I’ll come up Beckon me with softness in your voice And I will fill your cup Call me and I’ll come out Streetlights flickerin’ And daddy’s on my mind Oh we’ve got time I know you’re spellbound, honey And your heart belongs to me Who knew that love could be so ugly So why don’t you… Call me and I’ll come up Beckon me with softness in your voice And I will fill your cup Call me and I’ll come out Streetlights flickerin’ And daddy’s on my mind Oh we’ve got time Call me and I’ll come up Beckon me with softness in your voice And I will fill your cup Call me and I’ll come out Streetlights flickerin’ And daddy’s on my mind Oh we’ve got time

My First Temptation Another soft creation I’ve never felt this heat within my chest My worst temptation A heavenly sensation I’ve never seen an angel in the flesh I’ve never felt like this before Is this my spring awakening How can someone be so beautiful Am I just making a big mistake My First Temptation Another soft creation I’ve never felt this heat within my chest My worst temptation A heavenly sensation I’ve never seen an angel in the flesh Do you believe in love Do you believe in heaven Do you believe in love Do you believe in heaven My First Temptation Another soft creation I’ve never felt this heat within my chest My worst temptation A heavenly sensation I’ve never seen an angel in the flesh

Brick and mortar Cobblestones in order The path forward is always clear as day Meek and quiet Never cause a riot And if I tried I’d be hushed away Sleep, deny it A life in ultraviolet And if I fall tonight, I lived to entertain I’m not like the others And if they’d read between the poetry, They’d surely be destroyed No, I’m not like the others I cross my heart and bleed through cherry lips I’ll never go astray Cry, my darling Love is so disarming But if I close my eyes I’ll drift away Charmed too silent I keep my demons private And yes, I hope to die to hear my lover say That I’m not like the others And if they’d read between the poetry, They’d surely be destroyed No, I’m not like the others I cross my heart and bleed through cherry lips I’ll never go astray I’m not like the others Brick and mortar Cobblestones in order The path forward is always clear as day

Last Call 03:28
I must confess I’ve been a simmering mess Your lost disciple’s got a criminal mind And I’ve been trying my best To hold it all inside This is my last call (last call to daddy) I hate to break the news (she hates to break the news) Oh, this is my last call I’ve got much better things to do I don’t need an answer (she doesn’t need an answer) Oh lord, would you rather Would you rather me blind? As it seems such a waste of your gift of sight Oh lord, father in heaven I don’t know if I can wait much longer This is my last call (last call to daddy) I hate to break the news (she hates to break the news) Oh, this is my last call I’ve got much better things to do I don’t need an answer (she doesn’t need an answer) I’ve been down here on my knees For my whole damn life I’ve been begging pretty please Just let me I don’t know if I can take all the faith and lies (all the faith and lies, all the faith and lies, all the faith and lies, all the faith and lies) I’m telling This is my last call (last call to daddy) I hate to break the news (she hates to break the news) Oh, this is my last call I’ve got much better things to do I don’t need an answer (she doesn’t need an answer)

about

Every tragedy has her beginning...
Before I could create, I learned to destroy. I was taught well, a student of a hungry world, eager to pick out the weakest for its consumption. I learned to stay hidden, to keep my curious eyes low. But deep inside, something was growing. Something I could never have expected.
I will tell you, if you wish
Through a veil of smoke,
Through painted lips,
Would you care to listen?
To The GIRL WHO FELL

I want to extend a big thank you to my partner, who has shown me what it means to be loved.
To my siblings, who inspire me to grow and blossom.
To my parents, who try to understand, and love me so tenderly.
To the women in my life who have shown me grace.
And to my friends, who help pick me up when I fall.
Thank you

about

Queera Nightly Oakland, California

Reflections of a dark belladonna, The Girl Who Fell spins a tale of secrets and desire.

How the wounded young woman will run forever, losing time and losing sleep, tangled up in vintage telephone lines.

I met her once, a shadow in the bar.

I doubt she remembers me at all.

I asked her her name, her story. She laughed.
“How much time do you have?”
