ache
03:29
|
|||
|
trapped in this cage of love
wanting to escape
from the air of doubt
thinking all the things
that one would need to muster
muster all the strength to
open the door
and lock it forever more
i ache too softly
i break too easily
fragile kind of love
bruising to your touch
i ache too badly
i break too kindly
i wanted to know
wanted to see it all
through all this woe
so i don't end it all
i ache too softly
i break too easily
fragile kind of love
bruising to your touch
i ache too badly
i break too kindly
fragile kind of love
bruising to your touch

braille
03:49
|

|
my eyes are cloudy
my sight is leaving me
i sure would miss you
i want to trace your shape too
make an outline
with a felt tip pen
so i can feel your presence
read your mind like a braille
i used to feel redemption
whenever i touch your face
now i fear recognition
is my only saving grace
i have a foggy notion
that i would either forget
or remember all the details
all the tears in the rain
all the tears and the pain
and i can't believe all the signs
they are pointing to what, i don't know why
i have a foggy notion
that i would either forget
or remember all the details
all the tears in the rain
all the tears and the pain

break the fever
05:00
|

|
must be so easy for you
to open your arms
the idea of two
to someone like me
you're someone so free
and i'm just frozen
frozen solid
will you let me in
don't know
where to begin
will you let me in
will you let me win
i locked the door
i threw away the key
will you break it down
break it down for me
must be so easy for you
to fall in love out of the blue
will you let me in
don't know
where to begin
will you let me in
will you let me win
i locked the door
i threw away the key
will you break it down
break it down for me
when you and i meet
finally share an embrace
break the fever
break the silence
give me some of your grace
will you let me in
don't know
where to begin
will you let me in
will you let me win
i locked the door
i threw away the key
will you break it down
break it down for me

do you take this woman
the priest asked
did you hear protestations
my heart said
i object to this union
i think i heard it
beat like a drum set
we never knew
each other true
we never knew
you never knew
my heart
my true self
so why are you marrying me
don't you know i'm nobody

bird don't fly away
i'm just passing by
plumes of smoke
on your wing
i know you've flown
for miles
don't be terrified
i won't hurt you
i won't hurt you
don't believe the lies
i won't hurt you
i won't hurt you
mother, father
taught me all the rules
of engagement
with someone wide open
my heart's not closing
don't be terrified
i won't hurt you
i won't hurt you
don't believe the lies
i won't hurt you
i won't hurt you
gunfire
i will never open fire
will never open fire
will never be a gun for hire
will never be a gun for hire
don't be terrified
i won't hurt you
i won't hurt you
don't believe the lies
i won't hurt you
i won't hurt you

will you breathe the air around me
while time paints my shadow in light
will you remember me when i'm gone
in case you wanted to know
i still love you
in case you wanted to know
just in case
you wanted to know
i still love you
in case you wanted to know
i feel my blood frozen, my heart is broken
my thoughts are fizzy like a drink
i lose sight of our missing link
in case you wanted to know
i still love you
in case you wanted to know
just in case
you wanted to know
i still love you
in case you wanted to know

narrative
02:49
|
|||
|
feels like television
burning your eyes through me
through the back of my head
for everyone to see
feels like animation
don't have control of my limbs
don't have control of my narrative
lose me in the crowd
find me full of doubt
i could never fall in love like that
like you want me to
feels like animation
don't have control of my lips
don't have control of my narrative

one final time
03:07
|
|||
|
it's been a while since you have spoken
it's been some time since i've heard your voice
i miss your smile
have you awoken
the spirits where your ghost now walks in
i love you like a memory
i miss you like a melody
won't you come and visit me
one final time
since you've been gone
i've counted all the stars
all the things i've done
all the wounds have turned to scars
i've searched for miles
now the spell is broken
my fear just might
start overtaking
i love you like a memory
i miss you like a melody
won't you come and visit me
one final time

one word
02:46
|
|||
|
one word will do it
set me off
rolling down the hill
racing to the blade
to the edge of the cliff
of the cliff
one word has never
been my friend
it never worked
to help me
be somebody else
one word is just a weapon
one word has always done it
cut me in to little pieces
dismissive
i always feel like nothing
coming from you
you who are nothing
it never worked
to help me
be happy
be somebody
i wanted to be my friend
i'm nothing if not special

ready for connection
02:24
|
|||
|
with a year behind me
months on end of mirrors
breaking upon reflection
i stand infront of possibilities
i terrify myself
so i sit back and wait
until i am ready for connection
but i'm not ready for connection
i think this heart has atrophied
formed scar tissues around it
it takes a surgeon to return me back to normal
cuz i'm not ready for connection
i'm not ready for connection
my heart is not open
i'm not ready for connection
i won't open your gift
until i'm sure it's not dangerous
it ticks like a bomb
it feels like an ultimatum
and i'm not ready for connection
i'm not ready for connection
my heart is not open
i'm not ready for connection

telegraphed feelings
02:43
|
|||
|
can you feel it
can you see it
it's right in front of you
but it's not
obvious enough
when you start to believe
things will look real
telegraphed feelings
a dress rehearsal
for the moments
in the event
that we fall in love
obvious enough
for you to believe
that my love is real
obvious enough
when you start to believe
things will look real

trauma
02:53
|
|||
|
can't breathe with all this pain
memory holds me down in chains
the hands around my neck
i'm a cross in a land of checks
can't live this trauma down
haunts me all around this town
those boys in the summer lawn
do i live to see the light of dawn
you cannot save me
need to save myself
you cannot save me
need to save myself
they whisper into my ears
those voices that i hold dear
build a backbone of pure steel
sharp stiletto to turn a heel
you cannot save me
need to save myself
you cannot save me
need to save myself
you cannot save me
need to save myself
you cannot save me
i'll save myself

vhs tape
02:19
|
|||
|
slow dance
slow hands
you whisper into my ear
you parted my hair to see my tears
falling from my eyes
let this moment take a while
before the spell is broken by
the strangers who see the lie
will you pause
or play
hit the rewind of the day
i want to see the replay
send me the vhs tape
of this lifetime
of this lifetime
now i feel the goodbye
in this bed of mine
in this bed of mine
