I burn 400 degrees in a gasoline sea.

dorky girl gives herself a moniker, pretends to sing and play guitar, makes some songs, makes a fool of herself. it's about love. seriously. she does this for the love.

Story behind the song

I was trying to put my own twist to my bobby's "gates of eden."  I wrote these lyrics in high school, so they're pretty old.

Lyrics

all the beggars pilgrimage 
from country far away lands
with pursed lips dirty hair
torn hearts and grabbing hands
their heads weighted with desire
they’ve heard all the stories
everyone wants a piece of 
the temple of chalk paste’s glory
dirty feet washed in silver sinks
they don new pairs of skin
to try to heighten their lowly chances 
of getting accepted in
the randomness of the whole
the logistics of the few
give in to the entropy
of the divide of fake and true
books of knowledge money spent
as the eager sacrifice
but the temple of chalk paste
refuses to accept buys
don’t think she won’t know
the phonies you are being
when you think her eyes are closed
is when she’s really seeing
don’t even think she’s myth
I’ve seen her yes she’s real
and if you ever meet her
you best avert your eyes and kneel
