TJ I love the demos in this album.
My favorite isn't a demo, however, but it is sooooo good. It's wild how a pandemic can alter a song's meaning. Jess's uke songs are amazing. Favorite track: Darkest Light.

Mikey Ramone Beautifully macabre and heart warming at the same time, love songs with a dark twist. Haunting vocals and harmonies set to a horror punk background. The album puts me in mind of Graves-era Misfits, Inkubus Sukkubus and Tapping The Vein. Fantastic stuff. Favorite track: Into The Dark.

william13th This is music in it's purest and most beautiful form for me, just guitar and voice. That's it. A completely mindblowing debut from Jess-O-Lantern, her vocals are unbelievably powerful and compliment the haunting style of her playing perfectly. Be sure to also look up her full-length full band album Rest in Pumpkins along with her latest release Bare Bones. Flawless. Favorite track: Into The Dark.

Come with me, to the place where lovers hide.  You will see the beauty in the dark side.  What will be, will be.  So let's embrace this escape.  I can't fathom the passion.  The moment I saw your face.  The secret to this life.  Is wrapped in a veil of death.  The love we give we get from whatever's left.  The answer, is waiting, by the graveyard.  Lover your wait is over.  Step into the dark.  It is known, that fools rush.  And folly calls.  But alone, there's no one there to break your fall.  My rattled bones, have been through battles to understand.  Yet you arrive, by my side.  Darling, give me your hand.  The secret to this life.  Is wrapped in a veil of death.  The love we give we get from whatever's left.  The answer, is waiting, by the graveyard.  Lover your wait is over.  Step into the dark.  I don't mind the curse.  It's worsened, by the laws of man.  You don't see it.  But somehow, I know you can.  Overcome this madness.  The spookshow freaks, will have their way with you.  But my love, don't fret.  Vengeance, never forgets.  The secret to this life is, wrapped in a veil of death.  The love we give, we get, from whatever's left.  The answer, is waiting, by the graveyard.  Lover your wait is over, step into the dark.  Step into, the dark....

So, maybe I like boys...  Who look like girls.  Well, maybe we need some...  Androgyny in this world.  The Glitter Boys were dancing.  All the ladies were hand-in-hand.  He gave him a wedding ring.  She promised to be her man.  Because I believe in love,  I believe in truth.  I believe in honesty, for today's youth.  I believe in culture.  I believe there is a cure.  I believe in a love, and I believe.  All love is pure.  Well, I wanna stand up...  For those to scared to shout.  Enough is enough.  Let's make them shut their mouths.  My freaks who were ever bullied, beaten, or abused.  The world is ours now!  Let judgment be on the accused.  Because I believe in love,  I believe in truth.  I believe in honesty, for today's youth.  I believe in culture.  I believe there is a cure.  I believe in a love, and I believe.  All love is pure.  Lay down your struggles.  Loosen the tethers.  What's impossible alone,  Is made complete together.  Have no regrets.  But learn from their mistakes.  Lets show the children...  A world...  Without...  Hate.  Because I believe in love,  I believe in truth.  I believe in honesty, for today's youth.  I believe in culture.  I believe there is a cure.  I believe in a love, and I believe.  All love is pure.

Would it be better, will they see what we mean?  He left a letter, he promises to keep his nose clean.  So far, we've been running, have I finally caught up to you?  This fear has me trembling, there is nothing left to do  But give up the ghost.  Let it go, the monster in me.  Give up the ghost.  Let it go, set the monster free.  Admit to the blame, open my eyes.  Embrace what horrifies.  Give up the ghost, let it go.  The monster is me.  Don't point the finger, don't feign innocence.  Don't let it linger, no blissful ignorance.  A sea of denial, 15 years awaiting what was lost.  I'm no longer a child, it's too late too pay the cost.  I shout, I scream.  I am the flaw in the frame.  I sleep. I dream.  I am the one to blame.  I slip. I fall.  I am my own worst enemy.  I cry. I call.  I am a mockery of me.

I am the one with eyes so defiant.  I'm the creepiest gal in town.  I'm not afraid of Goliath, the giant.  Just call me "David" as I knock you down.  There you are shouting the way-of-the-buffalo.  Step back Jack, I'm gunna show you where to go.  Six feet down.  Swallowed by your pride.  Six feet down.  Nothing left to hide.  Six feet down.  There's nothing you can say.  Six feet down.  You'll be rotting away.  Embrace the ideas of the majority.  Judgment cast down on all the others.  Individuality was my priority.  RISE UP my sisters, and brothers!  There you are preaching, with no personality.  I'm not a part, of YOUR REALITY.  Six feet down.  Swallowed by your pride.  Six feet down.  Nothing left to hide.  Six feet down.  There's nothing you can say.  Six feet down.  You'll be rotting away.  Oh, I hope you choke on those words you never meant.  Oh, you made your grave now LIE IN IT!  Six feet down.  Swallowed by your pride.  Six feet down.  Nothing left to hide.  Six feet down.  There's nothing you can say.  Six feet down.  You'll be rotting away.

Peter, I can't do this...  I don't know how to play this game.  My world is changing.  While yours just stays the same.  Peter, don't you ever tire of escaping reality?  So, I'll never be enough for you.  But you're everything to me.  So, let's get lost, boy.  Let's get lost.  Escape the truth.  The trite.  Tonight.  And let's never-never-land,  where our feet can't stand.  Together, we'll get lost, boy.  Tonight.  Peter, you say they mean nothing.  It's "special" what we share...?  But you play our games with them.  And I'm left to compare.  Peter, I have to wake up from this dream.  I have to go home.  You could have a million playmates.  But in the end, you're alone.  So let's get lost, boy.  Let's get lost.  Escape the truth.  The trite.  Tonight.  And let's never-never-land,  where our feet can't stand.  Together, we'll get lost, boy.  Tonight.  You see...  I've run out of pixie dust.  To a boy impossible to trust.  Whose life is led by games of lust.  My love, my tears turn me to rust.  And, though I'm lost, boy.  In your eyes, I see a glimmering surprise.  "I love you" said through our cries.  But I would never-never be enough.  Despite our tries.  I would never-never.  And off you fly.

I am the princess of, second guesses, second chances. I'm never sure of my words, I question my every action. If I could stop the monster from crawling out from under the bed.... I'd mend these broken pieces, I'd take back every word I said.... We are the most imperfect mess, and I wouldn't want it any other way. You and your flaws are beautiful to me. Darling, we are ghosts, but our love will breathe life back into our lungs. In love and dying young. To love and dying young. I can see the terror behind that shadow in your eyes. Affection strangled under this clever disguise. I want to live again. Wont you wake me up from the dead. If I could only slay this dragon inside my head. We are the most imperfect mess, and I wouldn't want it any other way. You and your flaws are beautiful to me. Darling, we are ghosts, but our love will breathe life back into our lungs. In love and dying young. To love and dying young. Because I'm fed up. I've got nothing left in my chest. My passions all have been wasted on the rest. I wanna be your ghost. I wanna be your life. I wanna be your ghost. I wanna be your wife. We are the most imperfect mess, and I wouldn't want it any other way. You and your flaws are beautiful to me. Darling, we are ghosts, but our love will breathe life back into our lungs. In love and dying young. To love and dying young.

There are moments when your brain, shatters. And you lose sight of all that matters. And you wrap your arms around anyone who'll have you. You're weird, but you're lovely, you'll never be lonely. And i might be brash I might be prone to crash... Into a mistake, something fake, they never give. They only take, but...I woke up, with a fire inside. Darling, it all starts tonight. There are monsters, in the shadows. Creatures in the night. There are people, who will never know... Wrong from right. But over at the Frankenstein place..... There will always be a light. There will always be a light. And there is something to be said about the chances we take. Murders death and violence fro the moment, we wake. Still I take the hands of the few who understand. Us children of the Wilde side, the ghastly ones, the corpse brides. We might be bold, may not do what we're told. But we're beautiful. We're strange. We're a tiny bit derranged. But we woke up with a fire inside. Darling, it all starts....tonight. There are monsters, in the shadows. Creatures in the night. There are people, who will never know... Wrong from right. But over at the Frankenstein place..... There will always be a light. There will always be a light. Despite our darkness, there is a light. There is a light. There is a light. Despite our darkness, we are the light. We are the light. We are....the light.
