Like Me or Know Me

kept on a leash
lock away the key
break me apart
take away my heart
like me or know me
leave me alone
throw me a bone
can't you turn me to
what you want me to be
i'm dying to be
transformed into
a fairytale being
with a happy ending
settle the score
with the villain
behind the door
like me or know me
leave me alone
throw me a bone
can't you turn me to
what you want me to be
i'm dying to be
transformed into

Lost At Sea
04:05

i wake up
my hand feels
for your presence, dear
it's an impulse
that's crept up
on me recently
and when i fail
to touch you
i open my eyes
see nobody is beside me
and instantly
i feel empty
i straighten up
take in the scene
crumpled white sheets
imprint of your body
on your side of the bed
which now feels too big for me
when just last night
it felt as if
we were in a raft
in the middle of the sea
cold and lonely
guided by stars
god knows
it's happened before
but sleeping with you
enveloped in your arms
then waking up without them
it feels different
it leaves me barren
it's not just waking up alone
it's waking up deserted
it's waking up abandoned
lost at sea
floating in the darkness
lost at sea
floating in the darkness

Recovery
04:04

when you make it out
tell everyone i'm still here
make them remember who i was
before all of this
tell my mother
i miss her
tell my father
i forgive him
tell everyone i love
i am still here
when you make it out
tell everyone i'm just fine
don't let them forget who i was
even if i'm starting to
chase the light
it seems so bright
it seems so wrong to just come back
to the darkness
tell my sister
i miss her
tell my brother
i forgive him
tell everyone i love
i am still here
tell my mother
i miss her
tell my father
i forgive him
tell everyone i love
i am still here
don't pull the plug
i will get better
pray for my recovery

Wake Up
03:35
|

|
she's alone when she's woken up
by a passing car
the noise seems to
target her senses
shaking her defenses
come to think of it, sounds to her as if it's yelling "Wake up, silly woman!!!"
her husband hasn't come home
no message on the phone
as if it's yelling "Wake up, silly woman!!!"
it's not like she can't live without
just can't shake the shadow of a doubt
a married woman of 20 years
her husband's nowhere
but where are the tears
when they were younger
she used to care
fights erupted when tempers flared
energy drained from her fingertips
along with questions of love from her lips
come to think of it, sounds to her as if it's yelling "Wake up, silly woman!!!"
her husband hasn't come home
no message on the phone
as if it's yelling "Wake up, silly woman!!!"

Drown Me Out
02:32
|
|||
|
so sick of wanting
this desire
so useless
come rescue me
hold my hand
bury me in the sand
so sick of living
this life
no one needs it
waiting for the train
waiting for the waves
to wash me away
drown me out
pass me around
drown me out

Sick and Tired
02:39
|
|||
|
searching for the hurt
in my body
pinpoint the location
and just press on it
they say that's what you do
to a bruise
make a wound
so you forget it too
i am tired
i am sick of the things you make me do
i am tired
sick and tired
when i think back to the past
when i remember the previous tasks
i feel shame flush over
like poison ivy wrapped around me
and i can't forget the things you told me
and how i took them as words to comfort my exhausted spirit
i am tired
i am sick of the things you make me do
i am tired
sick and tired

Dorothea's Dying
03:19

dorothea's dying
clutching a bottle
of white flower
in her tiny hand
her time is running
an angel is roaming
here all over
this lonely house
her eyes, they've seen
almost a century
of the world in tears
dorothea's dying
we're gathered together
forming a circle around her
we witness your flame
blowing out silently
while we say your name
her eyes, they've seen
almost a century
of the world in tears

Naked Thoughts
03:27
|

|
i know you
are getting tired of my voice
let me tell you
it's not a prison, it's a choice
i don't blame you
when you say you want some space
you can roam too
just like i do in my own maze
you hear my songs
you hear familiar melodies
my naked thoughts
they sound more and more like
more and more like
your own voice
the one inside your head
the one that tells you
to do what you don't want instead
it was never
my intention to confuse you more
i would rather
you just show me the door
you hear my songs
you hear my stories that
i only wish for myself
they sound more and more like
more and more like
lies

Six Feet Under
03:57
|
|||
|
all around me
i hear people
making plans
for the future
setting out
in their journey
well, i don't care
if i die tomorrow
and i don't care
if the clouds part
you can try to scare me
but it's not smart
when you ask me
where i will be
in ten years time
i'm serious when i say
i want to be
six feet under
all around me
it's as if their
mission in life
is having babies
and playing houses
making money
for no purpose
but building bases
and burning bridges
when you ask me
where i will be
in ten years time
i'm serious when i say
i want to be
six feet under

Orlando

if i could
i would turn back time
if i could
i would keep you mine
but i can't
stop you, son
you need to do
what you want
for what is life
without the night
but i thought you'd wake
to the morning light
i was born when
i saw your smile
i died when i can't
get through the line
i dreamt of the bullet
from his gun
and the dancefloor
with my only son
woke up to the knock
on my door
a strange man who
left me on the floor
what do i do with
all the memories
where do i put
all my apologies
should have kept
all your secrets
now i reel from
all my regrets
but what is life
without the night
but i thought you'd wake
to the morning light
