I found it hard to sleep at night
cus I knew I had to go
I found it in my, in mind
you know, you know, you know
little bird in a bell jar
eyes still glass when the morning breaks
taxidermy, false heart
thought I saw it beating, my mistake
counting backwards, singing slow
we know how the good songs go
one more step into the known
who knows where our angels go
oh baby, never mind
I just don't know where I am anymore
I'm crossing your flatlines
I don't know why I cried for you
maybe its a simple illness
maybe I'm a 'complicated girl'
maybe you were just my weakness
the centre of my world
its kind of funny now I'm grown
cus I hated you so much
a rabbit by the side of the road
a school skirt teenage crush
I don't know what I'm saying
I'll take my wings and fly back south
I was only playing
don't put words into my mouth
hometown syndrome, still a fighter
we know there is something higher
fingers reaching for a lighter
click click, I do despise ya
oh baby, never mind
I just don't know where I am anymore
I'm crossing your flatlines
I don't know why I cried for you
maybe its a simple illness
maybe I'm a 'complicated girl'
maybe you were just my weakness
the centre of my world
giving up, oh so silent
growing up, catching spiders
all our demons laid aside
sugar rush, make it lighter
tearing up, back here beside ya
head down waiting for your sign

GROWING UP

I can't sleep without you
both eyes wide when you're not here
my dear
when I call, you answer
I won't hide, I have no fear
you never looked so clear
crystal
you said that I would be fine
and I know I should
I sing to my love all the time
in the darkest woods, I'm
always getting lost in the moonlight
its alright, I'll be waiting
for you if you're kissing me goodnight
you're heaven and I'm praying
can't press play, can't rewind
some bad days just stuck on repeat
do you know what I mean?
all this shit will fade away
no matter what, you'll be okay
do you hear that baby, no?
give me a second I know
what I wanna say
here like a rose in the snow
with you night and spring day
growing up is not what it looked like
its cool I know you hate it too
but if you're kissing me goodnight
we'll sit and take it

ALARM

forevermore, nevermore nevermore
brightness on low as I pull in slow
such a such a pretty taste
shut my lights down low
I'm busy, hold on
they say love is a battlefield and I concur
they say they say 'my little baby but you had to learn'
I never knew I was a poet
until you shot down every word
and left them hurt
I never saw the warning light when I wanted to
you offer me a hand to suffocate the red
I know the score we all fall down when its coming to us
get in line, we were never friends
one more for the road, I don't wanna go home
I'll see it when I see it when its all grown overrun
run
ribcage growing up around my chain
you know you said I looked pretty in the classroom rain
I didn't
I didn't
alarms don't wake me, they never did
I've slept through thunderstorms cus they're on my side
you know I'm counting on my one true
not to abandon it
bright wide eyes

SALVATION
04:32
|

you never even see it coming
but thats just the way it goes
I'm told
apparitions in the night they hold you tightly
a shadow that we call 'salvation'
the angels have gone too far
oh heart
if you keep beating your drum I'll shine brightly
oh, its hard to tell you why I'm nervous
where's the voice just tell me I deserve this
in slow motion, pure devotion
dusk just like a kiss
don't you wake me til the cloud's gone over
I don't wanna cry my days away
dreams are no escape
and what does it take?
see that I am breaking
flowers on a lake
I watch and I pray, oh angel, come embrace me
death is in the television
fast-forward to see our end
old friends
all the lies I've ever said, I'm golden baby
nobody wants to live forever
but I wanna live again
I'll count to ten
I can see it in my head, a line gets severed
the days, the echoes
tell me what you're feeling
spring, your eyes glow, tell me am I healing?
falling, frozen, forgotten and chosen
lost, already home
don't you wake me til the cloud's gone over
I don't wanna cry my days away
dreams are no escape
and what does it take?
see that I am breaking
flowers on a lake
I watch and I pray, oh angel, come embrace me

NIGHTMARING
02:22
|
|||
|
severing everything
you know the crowd goes wild for a heroine
nightmaring, withering
still twitching on cracking limbs
your cherry-scented chemical
your taxidermy living doll
I'm frozen in your waterfall
I'm on the rocks, you down it all
TV screams, days to dreams
behind my eyelids, ripping seams
I never stood a chance fighting back
you're like a ghost or a heart attack
your cherry-scented chemical
your taxidermy living doll
I'm frozen in your waterfall
I'm on the rocks, you down it all

MOONLIGHT
03:22

|
oh sweetest candy
things just don't turn out
how you planned it
its getting louder
dreams just won't burn out
I can't stand it
fade away in me
I'll try not to let it show
through the waves, down deep
but I can't seem to let it go
yeah I know, I know that I should fight again
don't let it win, win
I know I know that I should just pretend
when I get that feeling
when I get that feeling
you never knew me
letters, I dare you
to love truly
you look right through me
staring as you fade into the trees
under full moonlight
its heaven burning in the dark
through a rose-quartz eye
I think I see my lucky star
I know I know, I think I understand
alone, alone I feel you touch my hand
I know I know, I think I understand
