Complex

I’m a drag to be around
I’ve got enough secrets to drown you
Overweight with hate
Unaware of what I’ve become
The extreme human being that you love
I’ve got a complex; it’s complex
I don’t know why I act this way
The things I do, the things I say
I really love you
I want to be with you, but I’m so scared
I’m exercising love
I’m lifting the weight
A lonely girl like me
Has to concentrate
I got no hope, but I’ve still got dreams
This isn’t what I thought it would be
You can have your way until you get in my way
I keep trying to find peace of mind
Where I don’t belong
It’s not easy for me to be wrong
I take it out on you
I remember every bad note we’ve played
Every great mistake we’ve made

Die 4 Love
04:27

Take me out in your car tonight
Full moon, my feelings unlace
My mood is swinging
My mind is racing
Let the breeze dry my face
If I'm gonna live in this world
I wanna die fighting for love
Bleeding heart in my hand
I dig in where I stand
Dying for love
Keep on writing your love letters
I need a reason and I cannot shut down
Keeps me going just knowing
Devotion was spoken
A thousand years ago
Take my hand, take me anywhere
I can change under the same set of stars
Twin skins have this feeling
It will never erase
Let it hit and live forever in eyes
Everything else is so empty
In these times
Anyway

I Need Your Love
02:13
|
|
||
|
Looking for love & I want it to find me
But I’ll have to hang back patiently
Waitin, waitin for the stars to agree
I need your love; why can’t it be me?
I’d like to find someone
But there’s no one around
No one special I’ve found in this town
Full of friends and faces I already know
Longing to feel better than bored
I need your love and I want it to find me
So I’ll have to hang back patiently
Waitin, waitin for the stars to agree
I need your love; why can’t it be me?
Sometimes I like someone
But they feel out of reach
And how would I tell them
When everyone would go
To the spectacle of my love and a hard no
That’s the unknown I know
I need your love & I want it to be mine
But I’ll have to wait for my valentine
Waiting, waiting for the stars to align
I need your love; why can’t it be mine?

Wrong With You
03:55
|
|

Haven’t you seen enough of me
Dragging you round in the dirt?
Haven’t heard a word I’ve been saying?
If you play, then you only get hurt
Take it from me, I can only be
The weight that is holding you down
Now you’re pressed to the floor
But you only want more
You can’t save me, but you’ll never let go
The voice in my head speaks louder than
Anything you could say
So deep are the grooves I’m sinking into
No love could ever wash away
There must be something wrong with you for loving someone like me
There must be something wrong with you for loving someone like me
A generous pour I will only ignore
I am wary of a good thing
You can call me a name and I suffer no pain
I feel the same if I’m telling the truth
I can’t accept what I know you’ll regret
If I finally let myself show
I come off as shy
But I’m trapped in my mind
You can’t live with me
I live alone
I’m feeling sorry for you
I don’t know why you stay
When your affection only stands in the way
Your caring can’t convince me
I’m gonna fuck this up
Your good intentions only make me stray

Hothouse Flower

Hothouse flower
Waterlogged
All worn down
By a salty fog
Silk born
Thin skin
Weak from the breeze
You don’t have
To earn anything
To survive
You don’t have to try
Gifts arrive
If you desire
Still you dream
Still you scream
Like a bird at dawn
It feels unfair
To be so square
While others have something
To fear and feel
Sallowed, useless
Nothing is at stake
So you cultivate your taste
Imagine a struggle
Copy your scene
Mannequin
In faux greenery
To survive
You don’t have to try
Gifts arrive
If you desire
Still you dream
Still you scream
Like a bird at dawn
It feels so dumb
To be so numb
While others have something
To fear and feel
Oh to be mud born
Rise from the ashes
Telling the troubles you’ve seen
Hothouse flower
Cries from her window
Faking her own suffering

Athena

Would you know it if you had?
She was written by a man
Only a warrior until she undresses
Do you feel that way too?
Jealous, misunderstood
Disrupting the party again
With your feelings
Have you seen her, Athena?
Have you seen her?
Feeling all the sorrow of a broken world
Heavy garlands hang from a divine fighter
When you break the silence
Does it feel like violence?
She’s your heroine
Shut her up again
Long may she reign
If she can hide her strength
Have you seen her, Athena?
Have you seen her?

Cool Blue
03:16
|
|
||
|
Ossified, tempered and cool blue
He's looking at me so confused
His ticker, a monolith, bewildered by a tear
So unfazed, flat and unknowing
He’s angry with me just for showing
A red thread of wild emotion
Punch drunk by my mood
What good is a heart if it doesn't bleed?
Is he stuffing it down so tight he can’t breathe?
What good is a heart if it doesn’t heed
That hanging omen
Shining to show you, inevitably
The sadness you don’t wanna feel?
Totally sober, cold and unfeeling
He shudders when I start revealing
My weakness and when I need him
He’d rather hide away
You could lead the blind
To that levee deep inside
But he won’t have the tools
And you'll be an alien
In a foreign land, again

You’re gonna teach me, my baby blue
Good things don’t come easy
You are here to prove
It’s all for you, my baby blue
It’s more than love to give yourself away
And hold onto the feeling of that ancient pain
And what I must do, my baby blue
I’ll be watching the sunrise
There’ll be no sleep for my tired eyes
Now I’m the chest your life will rest upon
For as long as that little heartbeat carries on
In a time before you, my life was in my hands
Before your tiny two, I had so many plans
And things to do, my baby blue
Now none of that matters, I’m not in control
I’m settling down you can tell me where to go
And what to do, my baby blue

Story of Love
03:18
|
|

|
You can’t change the world
But you can change yourself
That’s all you gotta do
Open up your mind before you’re eaten by time
It’s the stories of our love that need tending to
Whatever you do, tell the stories of our love
You can’t change the world
But you can change yourself
We were born this way
Troubled and hoping, doping and coping
It's the stories of our love that need tending to
Whatever you do, tell the stories of my love
Tell the stories of our love
Tell them how we overcome
Dangerous situations
Brave in our resistance
Weaving as we grow
Whatever you do, tell the stories of our love
You can’t change the world
But you can change yourself
Remember how to give
Wade in the confusing, ever changing, and amusing
Stories of our love that keep ringing true
Whatever you do, tell the stories of our love
Tell the stories of our love
How we are bound to make mistakes
But we still roll up our sleeves, listening
What do you hear, crystal clear?
Tell the stories of our love
Will you write an endless poem?
Kiss the stranger you’ve known all along?
I was foolish to feel new
I am just a loud echo chamber
You can’t change the world
But you can change yourself
That’s all you gotta do
It’s the stories of our love that need tending to
Open up your mind
Before you’re swallowed by time
Whatever you do, tell the stories of our love
A feeling so strong, it goes on and on and on
Whatever you do, tell the stories of my love

Some Things Must Die
03:22
|
|

Some things must die to let others live
Some things will grow
While others shrivel in the wind
The more you know
The more you let it go
Oh it goes so fast
So tell me so
Tell me so
Tell me something you’d be willing to die for
Some things must die to let others live
Water those to show yourself
Let the others start again
Let the good parts grow to revive you
Oh they’ll grow so fast
If you stay true
So please be true
And love someone you’d be willing to cry for
And I feel so temporary
I cannot drift so patiently
Feeling so high
Will soon drop me off again
With less time
Some of you must go to let love in
Throw away the picture you made
You’ll never live up to it
Imagine what you’ve never seen
Metamorphosis to clean
Write a song that you can sing forever
And if it’s anything less I will easily forget

Say Goodnight
05:07
|
|

I say goodnight cos I don’t feel like crying
Why should I fight
Eyes growing tired of the light?
Gently fall into the bed that houses all
Adhere and let the quiet pull me down
There is no sound
Right here, I say goodnight
I say goodnight cos I don’t feel like trying
Why would I fight
When my rose garden awaits?
My fate is clear; all sorrow disappears
Adhere and let the quiet pull me down
There is no sound
Right here, I say goodnight
Let me fly away
A grain of sand into the sea
Mouth of darkness
Clear my way
Until it eats
Until it saves
Let me fly away
A grain of sand into the sea
Mouth of darkness
Clear my way
Until you eat
Until you say
Goodnight
