Broke Open Love
04:38
|
|||
I powered up
Owned who I was
Changed how I look
Broke open love
I fell enough
I took offense
Mangled my heart
Broke open love
As darkness falls into my arms
So must you fall
I'll take it all
I fell enough
On the defense
Mangled my heart
Broke open love
(I know I'm breaking down)
I don't wanna break down
(I know I'm losing out)
I don't wanna lose out
(I know I'm fucking up)
I don't wanna fuck up
I know I'm losing out
I know I'm breaking down
I fell enough
I took offense
Mangled my heart
Broke open love
(I know I'm breaking down)
I don't wanna break down
(I know I'm losing out)
I don't wanna lose out
(I know I'm fucking up)
I don't wanna fuck up
I know I'm losing out
I know I'm breaking down
Broke open love

Suicides and Lazy Eyes
03:38
|
|||
I got patience, you're cunning
Fit to my stray hand like a Schiaparelli glove
Let the rest of the world be coarse
Sitting around the table all day talking
With the suicides and lazy eyes
Longing 'til the stars align
Let the rest of the world be coarse
You stay sweet for me
I paint the winters
Marching round across our backs
I lay upon the ceiling
Counting mice escaped the traps
Let the rest of the world be coarse
Let the rest of the world scream hoarse
You speak sweet to me
Let me call you mine all the time
You stay sweet for me
Saw you on the table
Constrained they carved your name
You lay exposed open eyes
It blew my mind to see your grin
Let the rest of the world be coarse
You stay sweet for me
Let me call you mine all the time
You stay sweet for me
I love your cunning eyes
And how you size me up
Modigliani eyes
I'll call you mine
If you stay sweet for me
Let me call you mine
I'll mark the hour
You stay sweet for me

Lower Worlds
03:50
|
|||
My loves drink deep
Love, lust, and fire
I hear them cry
I hear them weep
Will you be mine?
Every time they speak
Street lights like fire
Every time they call
I answer polite
Will you be mine?
Slam shut the doors to lower—
Every time I wake
To talk desire
I hear it wail
I answer in kind
Will you be mine?
Slam shut the doors to lower worlds
Every time I wake
To talk desire
I hear it wail
I answer polite
Will you be mine?
Slam shut the doors to lower worlds
Will you be mine?
Will you be mine?

Forest Mattress
04:31
|
|||
I'll never be alone if I can help it
I'm talking to the flowers just to have a friend
Do you see me?
I'm nature's heiress
Got a forest for a mattress
Watch it grow
Up I touch it
And it feels real
Imagine you were here
Then we could do things
I'm talking to the walls
I like to play pretend
Do you see me?
I'm nature's heiress
In this greenwood
It's my palace
Watch it grow
Up I touch it
And it feels real
Underneath the dirt embrace
Fingertips
Pretend a face
It feels real
I can feel the walls growing closer
Canopy of arms embrace me again
Do you see me?
Nature's heiress
Got a forest for a mattress
Watch it grow
Up I touch it
And it feels real
Underneath the dirt embrace
Fingertips
Pretend a face
It feels real
Was it something
That was nothing at all

Blackbird
03:20
|
|||
I wake up sweating
Under the weight of my plans
I once made a bargain
Now I'm seeing it through to the end
What's written on the water
What's written in the wind
These words will last a lifetime
Cause some things just won't end
What I am is what I always was
Even pawns can take the queen
What I am is what I always was
Now it's coming back to me
I'm back inside the shoebox
And it's only yesterday
The face that's in the mirror
Wants to fall in love again
What I am (what am I?) is what I always was
Even pawns can take the queen
What I am (what am I?) is what I always was
Now it's coming back to me
Don't stop now
Can't walk away
The wait is over
Blackbird getaway
Don't stop now
Can't walk away
The wait is over
Blackbird getaway
I once made a bargain
Now I'm seeing it through to the end

Possession
02:55
|
|||
I want you touching
I want you open
I want no feelings you can own
I want your fingers
I want you urgent
I want you down on your knees again
Hold your head
Hold your hand
I need you bigger
I need you honest
I need to hear you call for me
I need you ready
I need you whole and
I'll tear you open
Call for me again
Hold your head
Hold your hand
I want no feeling
Not your possession
I want no feeling
Not yours
I want no feeling again
Hold your head
Hold your hand

Ornaments of Empty
05:21
|
|||
I got flowers round my fingers
Branches woven in my hair
There is one thing that I value
For nothing else do I care
Ornaments I rained upon you
Ornaments of empty on you
Up above the clouds conspire
Bound together to conceal
In my head the sky was darker
All the names I can't reveal
Ornaments I rained upon you
Ornaments of empty on you
Did we cause the failing of the light?
Who flies to the safety—
There's no trace of where were buried
There's no proof of how we felt
Round and round around
I wound around you like a belt
Ornament I hung upon you
Ornament of empty on you
Did we cause the failing of the light?
Who flies to the safety of my hand?
Who wants to stay forever empty?
I got vines around my fingers
Moth wings tucked into my hair
Your sex is all I value
For nothing else do I care
Ornaments I hung upon you
Ornaments of empty on you
Did we cause the failing of the light?
Who flies to the safety of my hand?
Who wants to stay forever empty
I got flowers round my fingers
Branches woven in my hair
There is one thing that I value
For nothing else do I care
Ornaments I rained upon you
Ornaments of empty on you

Communicator
03:16
|

I'm afraid to look at myself
Be a dear, turn the light down
You just want to eat my heart out
I might let you
Might let you take it from me
You just want to eat my heart out
I might let you
Let's communicate in whispers, low tones
Honestly so far from home
You should know when I bite down
I won't let go
Until you're shaken from me
You just want to eat my heart out
I might let you
We'll let it all break down on the winding bones
And when it all came burnt on the page
Is that the way it goes on the wall all days?
And in my eye it falls anyways on you
Be quiet
In time be quiet
I'm afraid of guarding ashes
Burning words and I am aimless
You just want to eat my heart out
I might let you
Might let you take it from me
You should know when I bite down
I won't let go
Until you're shaken from me
You should know

Hellbore
04:42
|
|||
Hellebore,
I'll give you the sun
When stars fall
I'll capture them
I believe we've begun
To get it right
Behind my eyes
Into my eardrums
You whisper your words
I want to hold them
Hellebore,
Little flower
Your poison, mine
Misunderstood
I'd use you for good
No one can doubt this time
Evergreen
Deadly power
You were used to hurt
You captivate
Complicate
Steal the breath of life
Behind my eyes
Into my eardrums
You whisper your words
I want to hold them
Behind my eyes
Into my eardrums
You whisper your words
I want to hold them
