Halloween
We always felt like halloween
Fingers were cold my mouth was sweet
Sorry i had to be the scary thing in your teens
Walk around everyone’s street
Dressed up doesn’t feel like me
Calendar day pressure to not feel so lonely
We always feel like halloween
Chapter one written by stephen king
Sorry I had to be the villain in your teens
Kiss around fake vampire teeth
Im a character but Im sexy
Walking slowly through someone else’s party
We always feel like halloween
I never am who i mean to be
I had to be the hero in my teens
Face painted rosy red cheeks
Disguise has sprung a leak
Drugstore lipstick doesn’t go back on so easy
Eating our weight in Halloween
Calendar days making us so lonely
Walking slowly through someone else’s party
Drugstore makeup doesn’t go back on so easy

Old Hollywood Charm
Hippie chick- needs a lift
He's a nice break from walking
and her shorts show her hips
But she can't lie
Like shes 18
She can't fast forward time,
it’s for the best he thinks
He used to make a killing
Now he only plays the villain
Fame tastes like alcohol
But it's a nice break from drinking
He can't lie
Like he's having fun
Still drunk on western movies
Can't out act the sun
Old Hollywood charm
Maybe it's just me
Look up at the stars
Look right where they should be
Stuck in la-la land, stuck in your head
Old Hollywood charm, don’t let them write lines that you never said
Rich actress
Needs something to happen
Something other than love affairs
She’s beyond bored by rich men
She will die
Give it a few weeks
Got his hand around her time
It's unfair she thinks
Old Hollywood charm
Maybe it's just me
Look up at the stars
Look right where they should be
Stuck in la-la land, stuck in your head
Old Hollywood charm, don’t let them write lines that you never said
