PAPERDOLL LYRICS

Read lyrics from my home-made debut album, Paperdoll (2010) below:



“Paperdoll”
© 2010 Elyse Nichole Miller

Strip my hide and shave my skin
Slip me on and wear me thin
Pump me full of chemicals
Carcinogenic miracles

Just like a paperdoll, Fuck me like a paperdoll
Tear me, share me, You can even wear me as a
Trophy pinup on your sleeve
Disposable, posable, For your every need

It’s the constant pressure, The driving mania
To be as thin, And as smooth, And as shallow
As paper

It’s the way They’re all shaped
To make us hate us, To make us hate them
It’s the way we’re all trained
We would kill to be them
We kill ourselves; Will heels and shelves
Really make us? As they break us
It’s the way we’re all shaped
To reflect upon self hate

Breaking glass with the tears
For the past ten years
And it’s tough to escape
From yourself vein for vain
Cause they bleach
The true beauty
Right out of your brain

Like papercuts, Let the channels bleed
Because the market feeds On unmet needs
And breaks promises, Without conscience
And who cares if the ads depict violence

It’s only natural
Lies become habitual
Make me a paperdoll
Me me me a paperdoll

Cut me like a paperdoll
Just the way she’s shaped
Make me fake me fake fake

I know I have to fake it
At least I’m going to face it
At least I can embrace it
I mean, it’s only natural
To be a paperdoll
Just like any paperdoll
Just like any paperdoll

The constant pressure
Laid me flat
The driving mania
Runs me ragged
The double standard tore me in half
Who wants half a paperdoll?



“New Love”
© 2010 Elyse Nichole Miller

Lover oh lover don’t leave me
Find me new again
Remember the feeling
You can’t let me go
Won’t give me up, not for a second
Can’t get enough
Remember love? Remember love

Lover oh lover believe me
When I tell you
I’ll love you like new again
Remember the feeling
Can’t let you go
Won’t give you up, for a second
Can’t keep the bedclothes on
Can’t keep your clothes on

The nakedness of your body
On the naked skin of mine
Entwined in a lovelock
Arrested in time

Is wild and open
And peaceful and free
The barest part of you
On the barest part of me

Lover, oh, lover
Don’t leave me
Find me new again
Remember the feeling you
Can’t let me go
Won’t give me up, for a second
Can’t get enough
Remember love, Remember love

New love me, Love
New love me, Love


“Now His Kisses”
© 2010 Elyse Nichole Miller

I scream, I cry, I roar inside
Trying to bring it alive again
Now his kisses like sweet memories
Sweet, sweet memories

Jealous green spires sprout through my palms
And I clutch at nothing
trying to grasp what I thought was there

I scream, I cry, I roar inside
Trying to bring it alive again

Sweet memories
Sweet, sweet memories
All tainted and spoiled by
Does he care?
Does he remember what was there?
I remember the look in his eyes
And I remember he whispered to me and
I now scream and cry and try to bring it alive


“I Want to Love You”
© 2010 Elyse Nichole Miller

I want to love you all the way down
I want to love you all the way down
Open and filled with you, rush in and seep out

I want to love you out in the park
I want to love you on a hilltop meadow
It may be breaking the law, but baby it’s dark
Nobody has to know

I want to love you under the stars
And by the firelight burning so slow
Take a walk with you without any clothes and
Let the sun beat down Mmmm mm

Ooooh Ooh Oooh
Oo oo oo ooo ooh

I want to love you all the way down
I want to love you all the way down
Open and filled with you, rush in and seep out
Take my hands and open your mouth

I want to love you
I want to love you
I want to love you
all the way, all the way down
All the way, all the way down

I want to love you
All the way down


“What We Teach”
© 2010 Elyse Nichole Miller

They are just children and it’s just a game
We all know when it’s over
They get up and go out to play

And on TV when we see them shot down
Do we realize it isn’t the same?

Oh, if we teach them this way
How can we say, We didn’t show them
To childhood graves
Mmm our children, ooh ooh

They play cops and robbers
Isn’t it harmless?
Bang bang with toy guns
Bang bang! Isn’t it fun?

Oh, if we teach them this way
How can we say, We didn’t show them
We didn’t show them, we didn’t show them to childhood graves


“Lines”
© 2010 Elyse Nichole Miller

The lines deepen daily
The lines draw out my face
As I trace my mistakes
And the errors, still fresh
Can’t be erased

I’m traveling along
The same path I once made
And the holes I didn’t fill
Still wait

I’m folding into old clothes

The lines fold my life like a paper
And when I am creased with age
I’ll embrace these mistakes if I’m able
And these errors will fade, will fade


“There is a Reason”
© 2010 Elyse Nichole Miller

How odd in the daylight
The romance that by night
Seemed so quaint and warm
Now seems cluttered and torn

There’s a reason that I can’t remember your kiss
There is a reason I’ve forgotten your touch
Your eyes have taken a different cast and
I am numb to your love

I’ve forgotten how to sing your songs and
I can’t recall your smell
And from all that I can tell
It’s just as well

There is a reason
There is a reason I know
There is a reason
There is a reason I know


“Kinderwhore”
© 2010 Elyse Nichole Miller

Piggy tails, diamond nails
Bubblegum, bend over hon
Pretty pink bow, neckline so low
Frilly lace, caked on face

Smeary eyes, black and tearing
Supple thighs, power steering
Poofy skirt, it doesn’t hurt when you hit me

Secretly stained inside
Stains I’d hide
And tell the lies you wrote for me

Tights stretch up to buttercup buns
Of sweet young little girly

Kneel and pose on the floor
Lovely girl, my Kinderwhore!

© 2010 Elyse Nichole Miller

I’ll elevate you to the heights of delirium
Make you float beyond your form
Brace yourself as you fight for lucidity
I’m soaking in like Opium
