Earthquakes

I need a distraction
A mental vacation
From the jagged-edged shapes
From these little earthquakes
But you’re too late, my love
Here we go again
Debris from my love
Swept under the rug
Take cover, for your sake
From these little Earthquakes
Cause you’re too late, my love
Here we go again
You’re too late my love
Here we go again

Enemies

Enemies. Surrounding me from all sides
In my mind
But I won’t let them win
Enemies. Invading my dreams
In the dark, my north star
But i won’t let them win
A scream in a vacuum
A tragic spell
This armour is useless
It’s shot to hell, oh
But i won’t let them win
Enemies. Disturbing the peace
Every night, hear my cries
But I won’t let them win
This costume still fits me
It’s served me well
A lover, a fighter, a cracking shell, oh
But I won’t let them win
They’ll lose
They’ll lose
A scream in a vacuum
A tragic spell
This armor is useless
It’s shot to hell, oh
But i won’t let them win

Mannequin

Freeze frame
On my face
All the things I can’t erase
Watching the world
Spin again
All the things that might have been
I feel like a mannequin
who just came alive!
Alive
for once in my life!
Soft skin
On my hands
Breaking in with my
Earthly plans
I want to dance
In the dirt
And I want to feel love
Even if it hurts
I feel like a lost cause
Who has just been found!
And I might just have a look around
I feel like starlight is all we are
Starlight is all we are
This heart that pulsates within me
In pain, in joy
All day, all night
I know exists
This world I see
Touch, enjoy, endure
All day, all night
I know exists
…but there ends my certitude

In Your Mind
04:59
|

|
Something is moving in
From a distance
I can’t recognize it
Heart racing
Thoughts scatter
What if truly nothing matters?
Oh, no no one’s listening
Cause it’s only in your mind
You can feel it in the night
(You've been living half your life)
In your mind
(Such a shame to waste your time)
In your mind
Eyes searching
Hands shaking
Start to feeling
I’m alone too much
Wrong heartbeat
Wrong weather
Maybe I’m just not that clever
Oh no, not this again
But it’s only in your mind
You can feel it in the night
(You've been living half your life)
In your mind
(Such a shame to waste your time)
In your mind
So at the end all I can say is
That I once had a dream
That I once had a dream
That I once had a dream
That I once had a dream
I once had a dream

Backwards
03:02
|

|
Put me back together when you’re done
I’m backwards and twisted
And if you are willing, take my heart
Those blackbirds keep pecking it apart
Turn me back around when you are done
I’m backwards, and facing an endless void
endless void, endless void, endless void

Beautiful Misery

Beautiful misery
Made with light, made it white
But I’m in the dark every night
Starry light, starry night
Makes me high, hypnotized
Every time I close my eyes
Every time I close my eyes
You get your wish, you get your way
And you make it look so beautiful
It is your will, in your own words
“Come on, love! Do your worst!”
It is the darkest kind of light
Beautiful misery
Paint it light, paint it white
But I’m in the dark every night
Starry light, starry night
Like dandelions in July
Every time I close my eyes
Every time I close my eyes
You get your wish, you get your way
And you make it look so beautiful
It is your will, in your own words
“Come on, love! Do your worst!”
It is the darkest kind of light
Put me into my misery once and for all!
Beautiful misery
Made with light, made it white
But i’m in the dark every night
Starry light, starry night
Falling out of the skies
Every time I close my eyes

7 x 7

I thought I would cry for the rest of my life
Broke down on a chapel floor, bleeding
The storm raged outside, there was nowhere to hide
A beautiful dream where you wake up screaming
Dial my phone for heaven
Seven times seven
I’ll leave a message if nobody’s home
Then carefully return
To the lessons I should learn
And kiss away my wishes up in smoke
I felt it was right to just keep it inside
No one likes a woman who is needy
But the storm raged inside
There was nowhere to hide
And now i pray for any other feeling
Dial my phone for heaven
Seven times seven
I’ll leave a message if nobody’s home
Then carefully return
To the lessons I should learn
And kiss away my wishes up in smoke

Horizon

Bluebird on my shoulder
The message isn’t clear
He sings a song and I can sing along
It’s ringing through my ears
Many more miles to go
The pathway isn’t clear
I close my eyes and you can take the wheel
Until we disappear
Horizon
Horizon
Scratch the silver off a ticket
Until the words appear
Afraid to lose, but wishing for a win
Fortune interferes
It’s in my possession
It’s in the atmosphere
Will float away until another day
And I will be right here
Horizon
Horizon
You can take
You can give
But you can never keep
You can take
You can give
But you can never keep
Horizon

Boredom Killz

Tell me secrets
Tell me lies
Say we’re not just killing time
And killing anything worthwhile
Heart is black and
Brain is white
How I long to feel the fire
To feel anything worthwhile
The dark unkind
In my mind
You are the face of my undoing
Flashbulb smile, stay awhile
Nowhere more interesting to be
Killing you, killing me
Boredom sinks me into dreams
Killing you, killing me
Boredom sinks me into dreams!
Tell me secrets
Tell me lies
Say we’ll never compromise
Never mind just say, “blah blah blah
We will dance until we die
We will laugh until we cry”
And it goes on on and on and on and on
Of pulse and breath
Life and death
You are the face of my undoing
From words and deeds
A heart that bleeds
Dripping dry inside of me
Killing you, killing me
Boredom sinks me into dreams
Killing you, killing me
Boredom sinks me into
Killing you, killing me
Killing you, killing me
Killing you, killing me
Boredom sinks me into dreams
All ready
I am already here at my altar
And it’s all violet now!
All ready
I am already here at my altar
And it’s all violet now!

All ready
I am already here at my altar
And it’s all violet now
All ready
I am already here at my altar
And it’s all violet now
And I am on my way to everything that I have ever wanted
I’m on my way to everything I’ve wanted
I’m on my way
(but how long til we see the ocean)
I am on my way
(but how long til we see the ocean)
Now
