evathebaeva I don't have an older sister but if I did I bet she would've listened to this in her red illuminated room that had a bead curtain for a door while she smoked a clove cigarette out the window while she lent an ear to me to complain about my girl problems Favorite track: Hellmouth.

Pillow Talk 04:32
I’ve been thinking about you a lot lately And I’m not sure how I feel But there’s just one thing that I know There’s just one thing I want And I think you know what it is You know I love pillow talk You know I care And when it comes to making love Nobody takes me there You know I love our pillow talk You know I care And when it comes to pillow talk I promised to be there I see her lipstick stains on your collar My love lies with another And now I’m waiting on my own A different girl in every city I’m sure you tell them that they’re pretty You and your little white lies You know I love pillow talk You know I care And when it comes to making love Nobody takes me there You know I love our pillow talk You know I care And when it comes to pillow talk I promised to be there Why don’t you tell me one more secret I promise I will keep it Just between the two of us And you seduce me with your kisses They fill my appetites You know I’m jelly in your eyes Even though I know that you’re just Pillow talking Pillow talking Pillow talking Pillow talking You’re just pillow talking Pillow talking Pillow talking Pillow talking Pillow talking You know I love pillow talk You know I care And when it comes to making love Nobody takes me there You know I love our pillow talk You know I care And when it comes to pillow talk I promised to be there

It’s not so bad down here You get used to it Cut me a piece it’s a lovelorn tragedy So predictable, mundane Cut me a piece at the end of fragility Cuz I don’t give a damn Mmhmmm This is my Hell mouth These are my Hell hands This is my Hell heart And it goes…. Lust on your lips It’s a vintage blasphemy So immaculate, profane Taking the piss out of moral apathy Cuz I don’t give a damn No I don’t give a damn This is my Hellmouth These are my Hell hands This is my Hell heart And it goes…. This is my Hell mouth These are my Hell hands This is my Hell heart And it goes…. Mmhmmm Bumb bump, bump bump, baby Bumb bump, bump bump, baby Bumb bump, bump bump, baby What, are you scared? This is my Hellmouth These are my Hell hands This is my Hell heart And it goes…. This is my Hell mouth These are my Hell hands This is my Hell heart And it goes…. Mmhmmm

I’ve got the archangel hanging over me He says ‘Love, could you just play more quietly’ But my lungs were made for singing And my heart was meant to burn How many times I gotta tell you til’ you learn That we’re a long way from heaven But this doesn’t feel like hell And we shake our heads at the stories they all tell And we’re a long way from heaven But this doesn’t feel like hell And we shake our heads at the stories they all tell I’ve got the congregation praying over me They say couldn’t you just live more solemnly But my people have been calling With their voices warm and sweet

Tall dark and handsome He had my heart for ransom What else was I to say, Than ‘I want you, babe’ With a glint in his eye, And a cigar on his lips He puffed a solid ring And I knew I was his I’ve got a love spell cooking for you You don’t know what you put me through You can’t leave me in this state When you’ve got me desperate babe I’ve got a love spell cooking for you And not any potion will do When you’ve got it bad like I do Heart full of fire, I was all flushed with desire He didn’t stand a chance When he asked me ‘Care to dance?” Bell Book and Candle He called me ‘Too hot to handle’ So he tossed me aside to the echoes of time I’ve got a love spell cooking for you You don’t know what you put me through You can’t leave me in this state When you’ve got me desperate babe I’ve got a love spell cooking for you And not any potion will do When you’ve got it bad like I do Juniper and Thyme Dandelion Seeds Acacia, Clove, and Ginseng Come to me, Show me your devotion Baby I’ve got a love spell cooking for you You don’t know what you put me through You can’t leave me in this state When you’ve got me desperate babe I’ve got a love spell cooking for you And not any potion will do When you’ve got it bad like I do I’ve got a love spell cooking for you You don’t know what you put me through You can’t leave me in this state When you’ve got me desperate babe I’ve got a love spell cooking for you And not any potion will do When you’ve got it bad like I do

Purple and black She’s got bruises on her heartstrings How she wished she could just go back To once upon a time But there’s no chance tonight There’s no use Living in the dark And all her fated serenades will only take her so far Little broken heart She’s got songs that she can’t sing Lest they tear her apart With curses on her lips She’s a smoking gun Betrayal’s in her blood It’s gonna eat her up And there’s no use Living in the dark And all her fated serenades will only take her so far And it’s no life Living in a daydream Oh the devil’s got her tongue And she’s been seen And how she loved recklessly She burned with abandon Until she believed that there was nothing left at all There’s nothing left to see And there’s no hope Living in the dark And all her fated serenades will take her Far

Burn 03:19
(Burn, watch it burn) I've got one thing running through my mind and I think about it all the time so gather up your forces and your arms lets get all together and resist so lets burn (burn burn burn burn burn) I wanna burn it all down burn it to the ground I wanna see it up in smoke baby I wanna burn it down down down (Burn, Watch it burn) I've got one dream, have it every night gotta leave this loveless world behind for far too long we've wallowed in the dark so let's get lit and let's get smart (so let's burn) (burn burn burn burn burn burn) I wanna burn it all down burn it to the ground I wanna see it up in smoke baby I wanna burn it down down down (so let's burn burn burn burn burn burn burn burn burn) (so let's burn burn burn burn burn burn burn burn burn) I wanna burn it all down burn it to the ground i wanna see it up in smoke baby I wanna burn it down down down (Let's burn baby)

about

Out of the cold light of her father’s kingdom, the girl who fell finds herself more lost than ever.

It was painfully slow and all at once. An explosion of euphoria and fear that pushed her out. She ran into the darkness, eager to love and be loved. Eager to discover herself

The Girl Who Fell Part II continues this story, the reflections of a dark belladonna. How she will run forever, losing time and losing sleep, tangled up in vintage telephone lines.

She will love recklessly, burn with abandon. The pain of her youth will follow her until there is nowhere left to run, and nowhere left to hide.
When all the cards come down, what will become of the girl who fell?

Will she rot?
Will she blossom?

These songs are personal for me, reflections of a moment in my life when I was lost. It was me who was chasing her, her freedom and softness and expression. And when we finally met eyes, it was as though we had never been apart in our lives

Heaven and Hell

Love and Violence

We are together again and for the first time.

Now, we look back at that game of cat and mouse with a sense of nostalgia. How innocent our games, how reckless. We would rather look anywhere but inside. Deep into the depths of ourselves. Into the hell we made.

Into the life we are building now.

Perhaps you might see yourself in our story, for it is far more common that one might realize.
Not a dream, but a vision.

I’ll see you inside,

Queera Nightly

Thank you to Emily and Spencer, who always care and listen, and always keep me grounded.

Thank you to my friends Michaela and Brendan, Iain and Lizya, Alex, Whitman, and Rebeca for your kindness and love and light. To those who have patience with me when I stumble. I couldn’t do this without 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?”
