Candy 02:05
I lost all my baby teeth Fangs grew in their place And you're bound to get some cavities If you keep chewing bubblegum that way You've got a big ole bag of treats To cure your every ailment You'll go 'round this Halloween Like a door-to-door karma salesman But I don’t buy candy ‘Cause I know life ain’t that sweet You wet the bed, oh, because you dreamt Someone didn’t approve of you Careful there, oh, don’t you dare poke Holes out for your ghost costume Clean your dirty laundry If you want any candy Oh god, you’ve learned Some naughty words Where did you hear that from? You're gonna lose Your last sweet tooth With that acid tongue

The Horror! 04:13
I’m gonna slaughter you, Ax-murder you with kindness You want a chainsaw massacre, I’ll redefine it And your night terrors are My most prophetic dreams So say your prayers because They baptized me on Halloween The horror! The blood, sweat, tears, and gore The disorder The pornographic torture I’m burying the hatchet in your coffin It’s haunt or be haunted There’s no padded cell, This is a private hell with edges I am the jury, judge, And the warden of your sentence I warned you to stop this But you wouldn’t let me be So this concoction’s based on Your old recipe Oh no, I’m digging a hole But I’ve only scratched the surface I’ve got words like shovels And I don’t mind dirt, bitch

Oracle Bones 02:44
Your palms could read the same as mine I could help you wash the dirt from the plot lines But you hold grudges by the fistful From smudges on a crystal ball Your palms could read the same as mine And I'll carve my own Oracle bones, oracle bones You're cursing at the sky You show no gratitude for stars that won't align Demanding an apology Of horoscopic prophecies You're cursing at the sky Rabbit, you gotta run, run, run Find shelter, quick, before the hunter comes Get on your soft and steady feet They're selling as commodities Rabbit, you gotta run

Charmed 03:01
You were born with +10 luck As for me, baby, I’m fucked But the universe, she bowed and curtsied On the day that first we fell in love If I am, in fact, damned It’s not that bad, your hand in my hand And if I were surely cursed I’d still take you for the worst Our path is paved with cracks And it’s too much to ask For you to carry my ill-fated ass Through hell and back While I'm staring at my feet I can feel you watching me But I've learned the hard way To fear the very ground beneath me This moment is too opportune I can’t assume I’m truly doomed Welcome to my infernal life You will my stars to align Nevertheless, I think, yes, I might be blessed

Till Death 03:23
Darling, would you meet me Down at the cemetery In the shadow of the chapel Where we are to marry? I don't know a single soul I think they're long forgotten They echo through catacombs If you know how to listen He said, "I wanna be buried Side by side" He wants to hold my hand Through the afterlife But I shall remain Where my name's engraved No bricks I've laid In some surreal estate So when they make my grave Don't get a neighboring space Lay me to rest, my love And save your best black tux When they dig my hole Take the long way home to me When they make my bed Don't you lay in it

about

Patty PerShayla Nashville, Tennessee

Despite being a three-piece band, The Mayhaps have developed a larger-than-life sound with soaring guitar solos and compelling vocal moments, featuring a spectacle of a five-foot-two (-and-three-quarters) woman, hooting and strutting across the stage, gracefully wielding a bass guitar almost the size of her wingspan. ... more
