Forget-me-not
04:36
|
|||
|
there’re empty walls in this room
old stains scattered on the floor
there’s forget-me-not in the garden
I’d put them there to remind you -
I’m never further away than a thought
In here I abandoned my dreams
I feel hollow even in my sleep
I’ll follow, I’ll follow your lead
blinded by thoughts
drag me through the smog of moral vanity
I think it’s time we both leave
I’ll bend like the trees, I’ll cross the sea
to reach you
thunder and rain, I can’t complain
when I’m with you
‘cause I only feel real when I’m with you
I only feel real when I’m with you
I only feel real when I’m with you
I only feel real when I’m with you

The Morning After

so your kindness has faded
you don’t look like yourself
‘trying everything to hurt me
and it hurts like hell
your father, he worships you
‘cause you make daddy so proud
‘yelled at me in the airport
while I was stuck in the crowd
just close your eyes
it will be alright
just stay a fool
nothing changes with you
so your kindness has faded
you don’t look like yourself
you used my agony against me
well, I wasn’t placed on earth to please men
your father he worships you
I couldn’t play it that well
I excused your lack of empathy
till there was nothing left of me
just close your eyes
it will be alright
just stay a fool
nothing changes with you

Taxi Driver

you can be my taxi driver
sharing my load
touching my thigh with your free hand
your eyes on the road
pretty wasted
but I know my way around here
constantly aching
and I’m tired of
playing tough
I had a pretty mean portion of love
I had enough
(mmm...)
you can take me anytime
just don’t expect me to enjoy it while
you’re soaked in sweat thrusting into my flesh
this body was never mine
pretty wasted
but I had my share of fun here
constantly aching
and I’m tired of
giving fucks
I had a pretty mean portion of drugs
burned out and lost
did you come to save me?
you know your ways
constantly aching
and I’m tired of
playing tough
I had a pretty mean portion of love
I had enough
I had enough

Periphery

(ah fuck)
what’s your excuse?
you count the tiles in the bathroom, but baby
tell me something I didn’t know
you had a nervous breakdown
you’re wearing worn out shoes
rich kids walking down the avenue
but careful, soon they’ll catch up with you
you wish you had it all
in the periphery
pretty pics in the dark
and it comes right at you
comes right at you
comes right at you
you had a messed up childhood
(you had a messed up childhood)
an even worse youth
(what’s your excuse?)
you drill your nails in your skin too, but baby
(don’t you, don’t you)
don’t you see it comes back to you
you wish you had it all
in the periphery
(throughout your)
pretty pics in the dark
and it comes right at you
you wish you had it all
in the periphery
(throughout your)
pretty pics in the dark
and it comes right at you
comes right at you
comes right at you
comes right at you
comes right at you

Never Meant No Harm
06:14
|
|||
|
you don’t fear my thoughts
I can’t fake them anyway
you said,
and I got lost in your eyes
and I, have laid
all exposed on your bed
while bleeding
you have seen everything
love became a trial
as we fought in the kitchen
I swear, I never meant no harm
we were all entwined
as you kissed my open thighs
you swore,
you’ll never do me harm
and I, have laid
all exposed on your bed
while bleeding
you have seen everything
love thrives in our blood
travels through the tickling vein
for you some is never enough
I left stains on your sheets
as you unveiled my mysteries
and took the rest of me
(Instrumental Part)

you were sparkling as the sun colored your eyes
I feel stiff in my own skin
‘cause I still hate my body
I’ve never said this before
I think I need you to touch it
so I won’t hurt anymore
‘cause I still hate my body
I’ve never said this before
I think I need you to touch it
so I won’t hurt anymore
and following your footsteps
never brought me closer to you
I too, dream of the woman I could never be
I dream of the woman I could never be

Reptile
04:14
|
|||
|
I didn’t even ask my mother
how her days have been
she’s been through real struggle
witnessing me so broken and thin
but you
you didn’t win
you lost again
and I fight tooth and claw
‘cause I hope that I’ll love again
I hope that I’ll love again
soon
‘cause I’m like a reptile in the sand
longing for the sun
to warm up my lungs
I’m like a reptile in the sand
losing my tail
to divert from the pain
make it through the evening
trying to stay sane
I’m like a reptile in the...
summer days, and yet another fall
‘thought if I dropped my eggs I’ll lose it all
lovers, longing to be bound
‘thought I was born to kiss the ground
but you
you crulest thing
you pulled that string
but I repel the shell ‘cause I,
I hope that I’ll love again
I hope that I’ll love again
soon
‘cause I’m like a reptile in the sand
longing for the sun
to warm up my lungs
I’m like a reptile in the sand
losing my tail
to divert from the pain
make it through the evening
trying to stay sane
I’m like a reptile in the sand

Endless Beaches
03:37
|

|
what if heaven’s just a hole in the sky
a numb contact with infinite time
I don’t mind
the empty days and wasted youth
as long as I’m with you
‘cause I belong in your arms
another “baby” slips through your lips
such a fury sound making them split
in the moonlight
soon enough it’ll be spring
the rosehips flowering
and I’m an old dog growing soft
escape the cold
grasp the heat
lose your hold
burn your weed
the sight of endless beaches
the scent of countless peaches
and she’s mine
she is mine
what if heaven’s just a state of mind
a calm abyss when life is unkind
I don’t mind
the empty days and wasted youth
as long as I’m with you
‘cause I belong in your arms
escape the cold
grasp the heat
lose your hold
burn your weed
the sight of endless beaches
the scent of countless peaches
and she’s mine
she is mine
she’s mine
she is mine

we won’t go to Abisko
anytime soon
thought about our time in motel rooms
you drew, the city view
in my notebook
babe, I think of you too
isn’t it enough
to know about your love?
isn’t it enough
to feel it all at once?
I guess I expected too much of life
but I refuse to just be passing time
we won’t cruise around in your van
to see the coast of France
thought about those nostalgia days
oh it strikes me
all this time we
barely made it though
babe, I think of you new
isn’t it enough
to know about your love?
isn’t it enough
to feel it all at once?
I guess I expected too much of life
but I refuse to just be passing time
I guess I expected too much of life
but I refuse to just be passing time

Uncertainty
04:19
|

I’ve made my peace
with uncertainty
it doesn't mean
I live aimlessly
sertraline
and your serenity
had me thinking
we had the remedy
‘cause you and I know at the end of day
we could never win, but hope is a discipline
I just wanted you to really see me
the love we share is the essence of being
embodied
but you got away from all of this, didn’t you?
left me here hanging by myself
you said one day the death will come to your rescue
I wonder if you still feel the same
like I do
I saw you
you seemed renewed
said you quit the pills
and was running off the mill
my long lost friend
stuck at the dead end
spilling your crucial thoughts
that you ignored
but you and I know at the end of day
we could never win, but hope is a discipline
I just wanted you to really see me
the love we share is the essence of being
embodied
but you got away from all of this, didn’t you?
left me here hanging by myself
you said one day the death will come to your rescue
I wonder if you still feel the same
like I do

Keep My Light On

uuuh..
baby I know
there are things that you
prefer not to talk about
and it’s okay
if you don’t want to
there’s not really much I can do
but maybe you’ll see
my light is on
it’s been on all this time
yes maybe you’ll see
my light is on
in case you wanna come by
and oh darling you know
I’m a thrill but a wreck
and there’s things I cannot share
is that okay? can you love me?
with all my bullshit and the shadows I wear
cause then I’ll keep
my light on
if you should come around
yes then I’ll keep my light on
hoping you’ll make it before it is gone
