Haven

She won't take you, without a world to gain, what it is to lose, scrubbed by fire, how to remain. free of the wire, she doesn’t do feuds, makes sandwiches in haste, what's not to choose, anyone you desire, is hard to refrain, you know what's for hire, what she's been through, is not laughed away, your bones tell the truth, her lips won't ask why, to live without strain, or forget what's the time, spring’s here again.

Gianna

Nothing’s left to gain, a knife to my throat, climb another mountain, know they'll depart soon, blood on their boat, bawling out their song, I'll survive the wait, feeling in my bones, their sour dull taste, won’t hear the boom, who needs a throne, to sink a ship of fools, not care about their fate, best remain unknown, see what remains, they’ll rescue me soon, this is my rightfuk home, I’m no one's dupe, someone led to follow.

Flavia

If you cook with gas, turn the flame up, make sure there’s a blast, face like a stone, it’s the way you love, beats going alone, never one to entrap, like a chicken plucked, you won’t flail and collapse, who call you the most, then roll in the muck, stay at their bedposts, they drink wine aghast, say they’re out of luck, too tired for holy Mass, tell them to go home, consider them fluff, picking at your soul, let them earn a buck.

Emilia

Looks like you rule, working the bread line, regarding the other fools, think you're great, at other's demise, stop before it's too late, won’t make you feel good, what’s going on inside, face a block of wood, yet once again, eyes dance like fireflies, let them have their say, it might seem poor gruel, these cooked over lies, and all that you do, but here in this game, you race for your life, who holds the reins, ask yourself why?

Dahlia

You'd gamble everything, my sister says, anything for a tiny waist, around your bones, do you ever retain, the time we spent alone, but you shied away, chased lovers like the rain, snuffled at break of day, going out as you came in, couldn't see another way, smoking your Marlboro thins, maybe when you moaned, danced in sunlight sashayed, never needed to atone, can't you feel the rage, when us little ones groaned, not for us mother's praise, out there on our own.

Christiy

My lover asks, were you ever born, how come nothing lasts, don’t you have ghosts, dreams that you’ve scorned, won't leave you alone, I adjust my mask, stifle a yawn, I know my own past, whoever throws stones, at what they've spawned, stops them from growing, I like our chit chats, what is to be known, where you hang your hat, you are in my bones, nothing gets torn, everyone needs a home, coat stands in the hall.

Bethany

While you smile easy, know just what to say, I’m lost on the street, a high heeled slumber, stones, wreaths, holidays, it makes you consider, when a spirit’s released, without hope or shape, one day it will please, do I have your number, while you dance and shake, a life rolled in thunder, my insides screech, striped flagpole sway, you’re drunk in the breeze, a slurred whatever, that you’re a disgrace, to me you’re a wonder, I gather up your face.
