LYRICS
___________
Like a puzzle
With no edges
Keeps on building out
Kaleidoscope with no focus
We'll play cat and mouse
​
Wind me up and I'll run circles
Ignore the way out
Playing games not meant to hurt us
We figured out how
___________
In the face of your echo
Find warmth in the shadow
You left yesterday
Tighter hold on each other
Letting go feels harder
So which is the mistake
​
Grey in your bed sheets
Serves to remind me
It's not black and white
Can we
Leave out the perfect
Messy it's worth it
You could just be mine
All mine
___________
I know that I'm fire
And I know that my desire
Is you with me
​
But listen I ain't
Losing no sleep
Boy you're grown
Do your own saving
Look- I never woulda
F*^#ed with you
If I didn't see you could
Do much better
I'm saying I believe
You can do better
But you're not
Pulling me down
While you pull
Yourself together
___________
Cotton candy in the sky
Who taught you to fly
Butterscotch up high
You’ve got me baking
Lemon drops drip down our skin
Like salty taffy off my chin
Love this wonderland we’re in
(can we just pretend)
​
You and I on white chocolate sidewalks
Tootsie trees with green apple gum drops
Frosting breeze take a seat on pop rocks
(I love my ginger man)
​
You’re my peanut butter cup
Praline King come fill me up
Sugar-spun
Undone
Craving
Gotta
Get me some
​
Sweet Love – sweet love
That sugar rush - I’m dreaming of
Sweet Love – sweet, sweet love
When my bowl runs over
Just pour me another
Baby I’m yours - oh come over share yours
​
Baby you’re my diet my nutrition
Candy apple red-carmel dippin
The answer and the source of my addiction
The birthday candle wish I’m wishin
​
Baby you’re my diet my nutrition
Candy apple red-carmel dippin
The answer and the source of my addiction
Gimme all the sweets you’re dishin
___________
Your beauty like a siren
Didn't hear the alarms warn
Before I knew it I was captured
Had me thinking I was home
You had me counting petals
Looking for the seeds to sow
Left me out there in the summer
Cracked ground and none to grow
​
In you I found direction
Paved with good intention
Nothing more than a mirage
Of my own broken reflection
Can I speak out of anger?
I wish you were hurting more
Cuz rose bushes have thorns
And violets get torn
___________
Looking out as clouds escape me
Feeling like a time-lapse daily
Any plane to take me somewhere new
Birds take flight outside my window
Morning rays play with their shadows
All these wings but I can’t get to you
___________
Like smokey scotch
Through my veins
Lingering after every taste
Warms my chest and
Calms my brain
Like smokey scotch
Through my veins
​
I love the way you talk to me
Convincing me your talk ain't cheap
The honesty- so bittersweet
My favorite treat
___________
You've always been enough
On your own
Baby you don't need
To earn their love
That's not how spirits grow
​
Above the water I'm gliding
My feet are fighting below
While my soul is hiding
My face is selling the show
I miss the beauty that's written
There's pain in the middle of growth
When I reach the ending
Is the only time I'll know
___________
I'm spinning here in circles
I drilled a hole in the surface
Looks like grief
Can out-hard old concrete
And I'm stuck spinning
​
Time has all but- stopped
All while my thoughts
Race old, broken clocks
I've got my mind made- up
But I can't translate it's thoughts
ABOUT
Hi! I'm Elise.
I am a Los Angeles-based actor, Groundlings student, songwriter, and NBA hype squad member (let's talk NBA!).
I am studying at The Groundlings, and improv ignites my heart with overflowing joy! I love the skills Groundlings training allows me to bring on set- it is truly an asset and a thrill combined. Acting is playing, and I love bringing skill and integrity to all parts of the process. I even love auditioning. Truly! I consider it a privilege to explore and bring writers' worlds to life. We play for the team here.
​
On a different note:
My newest song 'S.G.E. (sad girl era)' is out now!
I am so proud of this writing in particular- it's proof that some of the most beautiful work can come from the most broken spaces. Please check out the social tags to listen on Spotify, iTunes, Apple Music, SoundCloud, and other partner sites- wherever you prefer to stream.
​
P.S.: Please add my music to your playlists! It's one of my greatest joys to write lyrics for myself and others; to sing and to share it all with you (some of my favorite lyrics that I've written are in the Lyrics section on this site). AND, if you're looking for a co-write or a conversation about song placement and sync, I'm your girl! Contact below (or via IG).
​
Want to know a little more about me? I'd love to share! Give me a follow on TikTok & IG for the best updates along the way. <3
​
As always from my pen (or, keyboard I guess..) to you: You're doing great! Keep existing. Keep showing up;
