lyrics

i’ve got it sinister
lavender, vinegar
i see right through your lies
time to start a fire

find me with the good taken out
got under my skin, suck the poison out
bore a hole in my skull, let the sap pour out
force fed an antidote down my throat
curse this brutality, curse you for bringing me to violence
violets, horns, roses, thorns, dirt
i’ve eaten earth to contain my hurt

i’ve got it sinister
hyacinth, myrrh
i know you’re telling lies
i wanna start a fire

i’ve held back my rage
now unleash flames on your cold heart
one fist clenched, one open palm
nervous insides masked in calm
spill your guts
show your fear, show me more
open up, stare into the inferno
branded limbs, no amends, tricked your lambs into the slaughter
but i’m not a lamb in darkness, i’m no fool, i will not follow
pins and needles can’t control me, you don’t own me, you don’t know me
sticks and stones could break your bones, but venom will go even deeper
i’m a scorpion, i’m the empress, i’m relentless,
i am threatened, i will strike, i will strike
(do you see it now?)
call me a sick girl, call me an evil girl
when you know that you did it worse
i will destroy you, that’s a promise
now watch me kill your curse

i’ve got it sinister
lavender, vinegar
i see right through your lies
time to start a fire

(she’s got it sinister)
i’ve got it sinister
(watch out she’ll start a fire)
yeah i’m a firestarter

smoke inhalation elation
that which you burn makes me stronger
oh, exhilaration!
let this be my final sorrow
emotional dehydration
can’t hold back tears any longer
oh, vexation!
this will be my final sorrow

i’ve got it sinister
hemlock, ivy, juniper
i dare you tell more lies
and i’ll start a fire

even as you try to run
you will learn to bite your tongue (i’ve got it sinister)
let my anger fill your cup
drink it up, drink it up (yeah i’m a firestarter)

even as you try to run
you will learn to bite your tongue
let my anger fill your cup
drink it up, drink it up

even as you try to run
you will learn to bite your tongue
let my anger fill your cup
drink it up, drink it up

about

twin pixie Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Invoking connections between queerness, pop culture, and the supernatural, Twin Pixie’s music will cast you into an other- worldly soundscape at a bedroom dance party. Co-producers TJ and Aiv continually flirt with conventional synth-pop sounds while being unafraid to venture into experimental realms.

Twin Pixie draws inspiration from artists such as SOPHIE, Grimes, Purity Ring, and Björk.
