Rabbit Hole

~lyrics~
post, click, like like happy pills
then crash, burn whenever you begin to feel
something real
lost, you reach for your sex robot
programmed it to look a lot like her
nothing but quite like her
falling down, falling down, falling down rabbit hole, rabbit hole
falling down, falling down, falling down rabbit hole, rabbit hole
seduction, stimulation by perfection
no past, future just this instant
then instantly forgotten
filter it, synthesize it sterilize it
supersize the lies until
we believe they’re real
falling down, falling down, falling down rabbit hole, rabbit hole
falling down, falling down, falling down rabbit hole, rabbit hole
you don’t have to talk
you don’t have to think anymore
you don’t have to love
you don’t even have to love anymore
falling down, falling down, falling down rabbit hole, rabbit hole

99 Cent Dreams

~lyrics~
this bottom rung is as far as I can reach
here’s where I settle for my 99 cent dreams
these plastic rings and temporary things
make up my 99 cent dreams
why can’t good be just good enough
the impossible is possible might not work for love
Shootin for the stars I’ve silenced my screams
I prefer to fly in my 99 cent dreams
my 99 cent dreams
in my 99 cent dream I am looking for nothing
in my 99 cent dream I am waiting for nothing
i am wanting nothing
i am looking for nothing
when did I forget all that I am worth
thinking this kind of life is all that I deserve
this bottom rung is as far as I can reach
here’s where I settle for my 99 cent dreams
these plastic rings and temporary things
make up my 99 cent dreams
my 99 cent dreams
in my 99 cent dreams
no more waiting, no more wanting
I am looking for nothing
enjoy
no more waiting, no more wanting
I am looking for nothing
enjoy

I Believe We Will Win
02:41
|

|
try to unplug our sun
halt earth from goin’ round
block the winds from blowin’
dam the rivers’ flow, stop the trees from growing
dry up the rainfall
silence the eagle
strip every color from every rainbow
and it lights a fire
incites a care
deep inside of us
it’s great enough to rise up
I believe we will win, I believe we will win, I believe we will win
I believe we will win, I believe we will win, I believe we wi--
think we’re satisfied
minds lost and colonized
hear us amplify
the battle cry to bridge the great divide
now we’ve woken up
now we’re burning up
now can’t stop won’t stop
until we win
cuz it lights a fire
incites a care
deep inside of us
it’s great enough to rise up
I believe we will win, I believe we will win, I believe we will win
I believe we will win, I believe we will win, I believe we will win
[Voices from Sudan, Azerbaijan, Venezuela, Ghana, Hungary, Poland, Israel, Palestine, France, Italy, China, Singapore, Korea, Japan, Germany, and Mozambique saying]
I believe we will win

Fight For Love
03:38

drawing our swords, defending our lines
I’m holding my ground, but shaking inside
what will it take to see
I’m not your enemy
we can tear each other down or lift each other up
put the pieces back together or watch it fall apart
fire one more weapon, shoot a bullet through my heart
we could just give up, or we can fight for love
fight for love, for love
fight for love, for love
fight for love, for love
my hands in the air, I wave this white flag
my heart’s marching on with all that I have
and all I am
what will it take
I’m not your enemy
we can tear each other down or lift each other up
put the pieces back together or watch it fall apart
fire one more weapon, shoot a bullet through my heart
we could just give up, or we can fight for love
fight for love, for love
fight for love, for love
fight for love, for love
hold on to what we have
look how far we’ve come
and promise when we fight
we fight for us, We fight for us
we can tear each other down or lift each other up
put the pieces back together or watch it fall apart
fire one more weapon, shoot a bullet through my heart
we could just give up, or we can fight for love
we can tear each other down or lift each other up
put the pieces back together or watch it fall apart
fire one more weapon, shoot a bullet through my heart
we could just give up, or we can fight for love
fight for love, for love
fight for love, for love
fight for love, for love

Done To Me

~lyrics~
oh what have you, what have you done
oh what have you, what have you done
oh what have you, what have you
done to me, done done to me
all giddy like middle school
trying so hard, still can’t play it cool
don’t recall the month, year we’re in
you run so deep, feel like sin, whatcha done
done to me, done done to me
hot flashes and cold sweats
quivers and shakes, my body vibrates
work me up to a fever pitch
then go and pull some bait and switch, whatcha done
done to me, done done to me
oh what have you, what have you done
oh what have you, what have you
done to me, done done to me
a flick of your cigarette
set fire to my world, left all but one breath
once lush, stubborn and bold
now surrendered, smoldering coal, whatcha done
oh what have you, what have you done
oh what have you, what have you
done to me, done done to me
you steal my days like night
invade my sleep like light
all I think of
oh what have you, what have you done
oh what have you, what have you
done to me, done done to me

Gold To Dust
03:13

~lyrics~
I’m in awe of your graveyard of emotion
even your ghosts are looking for something to do
you burned it to ash, a slight wind blew us away just like that
no funeral, no final words to say
maybe I could learn a thing or two
shut down to numb the way you do
maybe I could learn a thing or two from you
maybe I could take a page from you
turn gold to dust the way you do
maybe then I’d be able to forget you too, forget you too
I got one taste/ of your everything, now nothing
how do you switch/ so fast from downpour to drought we were like gold/ solid, precious, would never rust you emptied the vault / I was left (with) just dust
maybe I could learn a thing or two
shut down to numb the way you do
maybe I could learn a thing or two from you
maybe I could take a page from you
turn gold to dust the way you do
maybe then I’d be able to forget you
maybe I could learn a thing or two
shut down to numb the way you do
maybe I could learn a thing or two from you
maybe I could take a page from you
turn gold to dust the way you do
maybe I could take a page from you
turn gold to dust the way you do
maybe then I’d be able to forget you

Limbo Love
03:19

~lyrics~
play
it’s just like heaven, it’s just like hell, paradise in netherworld
‘round here, there’s no end to fear, nowhere to even go
it’s kinda killing me, kinda thrilling me, that tension in between (better)
keeps me blushin’ so that I’m starting to believe
maybe limbo love is better
awwww
everyone wants to settle down
everyone wants a fairytale
everyone wants to say their vows
maybe limbo love is better
vows fade and passion wanes life sinks into cliches
bored already, seen that play, I’m sayin’
maybe limbo love is better
awwww
everyone wants to settle down
everyone wants a fairytale
everyone wants to say their vows
maybe limbo love is better
my wild imagination
all the anticipation
complete fascination holding air
everyone wants to settle down
everyone wants a fairytale
everyone wants to say their vows
everyone wants to settle down
everyone wants a fairytale
everyone wants to say say say
everyone wants to settle down
everyone wants a fairytale
everyone wants to say their vows
better

Tourist In Nature

~lyrics~
pull out a trail map, flip it upside right side see where I’m at
tell me just where the hell I’m at
where the hell I’m at
remind me is that a tree cuz I live in a building faces another building
build another building
build another building
how’d I get so far from where I started?
a tourist in nature, tourist in nature
a tourist in nature
quick let me snap a pic so i can recall what a bird looks like
high flying looks like
blue sky looks like
so sure the sun will rise that I never ever think about it otherwise
….ever think about it otherwise?
how’d I get so far from where I started?
a tourist in nature, tourist in nature
a tourist in nature
a tourist in nature, tourist in nature
a tourist in nature

Valerie Orth New York
Amidst the madness of 2020, when nothing is certain and we struggle to find hope for the future, we need artists like electro alt-pop songwriter/guitarist/producer Valerie Orth.
