Gracie

Please don't act fine, playing out your games, as if there's a chime, maybe it's the blues, hung on some lousy frame, makes it always you, nothing turns out right, so far away from rain, sleeping rough with wine, what's the latest bum tune, coming home you say, it'll pass for good news, naked to your crimes, you face the coming day, lost in your own designs, who gave you the cue, to wait for dismal train, remember the choices, darling children's names?

Freya

Is it me all alone, his turn now to bleed, turn off that useless phone, lay open the ghosts, from the gate they scream, don't bring them home , why wail in broken tones sat on bar stools seats, you never could throw stones, do you need a trombone, to accompany your creed, when your creation's done, gone gone, like your unruly needs, does it help moving on, with me as your pheromone, in this unlit scene, a cache of unread tomes, to polish my dreams ?

Edie

The land within his sight, an old man and his star, a voyage full of strife, he sets his almond eyes birds sing on the tar, strain their voices high, sweep summer to the sky, the moon is up so far, hope sings on midnight wires, alone in this lasting light, a door is still ajar, maybe she's there his wife, still minds all the fights, when she left the farm, someone understood his plight, brought her back tonight, home away from Casino bars, if he plays it right, his cards all marked.

Daniella

The moon hesitates, it knows where I've been, wind blows through the slates, the clock ticking boom, singing out the scene, me running from that room, I live on generous estates, brave enough to dream, try to keep from being fake, there's things I'll never rue, the songs that beat within me, stuff as sweet as perfume, what makes me really quake, is the thought of need, rescue me God my maker, laugh at why I'm schooled, best has come to be, dance the love of fools, only to be free.

Charlie

Could you even care, why i feel so rotten, swollen beyond a dare, have you read the news, sod your open wallet, i'm not in love with you, your hand around me curls, sniggers when I startle your money's Tiger rare, carry on with your blues, under trees or car parts, i'll bathe in the truth, anchors keep me turned, ships roll by forgotten, you give nothing to learn, go cold at your crude, God is not for mocking, think I'm stripping nude, no flags have been unfurled, you won't see me rocking, not me you've twirled, lost among the blossom.

Bella

She seeks explosive release, what she cannot find, nothing seems to please, she won't hear good news, love is just a chime, a cover up for truth, in a touch of blasphemy, she doesn't do sublime, less anyone miss a treat, why disguise the truth, or nourish other's mind, she's never there for you, just shakes her car keys, winter in warm climes, her path is no Odyssey, yet filled with solid needs, she doesn't have to mime, will never stamp her feet, makes her own rhymes.

Annie

Hate the way you look, you tell lover's lies, all the money you took, it's a poor welcome sight, sunshine on the lilac, when you act so cool, but no more hooks, it's useless to try, my knife's to your jug, always say you're right, C'mon don't deny, how life gets spliced, whatever way you choose, I'll dance in the night, you won't make me spook, wave goodbye to good times, catch me in midflight, always ask for sunshine, never reason why.
