Hold Hope
03:16
|
|||
I know I can't feel it without you
And she tries in a heart beat
But I mascaraed myself completely
And recall a heartache portrait
Oh press on, she tells me
Don't backtrack on what we've agreed
And hold on to your heart
As it has some worth
Oh please don't forget that
Hope hope is all she is and
Hope hope will help me
As I feel lost
A lot of the time and she helps me
Brighten up
I can't wave my hand so she holds it up for me
For when she leaves I slip completely
and fight for space in my body
Oh get up she tells me
Dont forget what we've agreed
Bring back your heart
As it has some worth
Oh please don't forget that
Hope hope is all she is and
Hope hope will help me
As I feel lost
A lot of the time and she helps me
Brighten up
Higher than hope
Higher than this town
Lower than hope
Lower than the ground
High above me
Low below you
I don't know what's going to happen
Help me with this lonely feeling
I can't feel it I can't dream
Something going to happen
To me now

Twist My Arm
01:44
|
|||
So she slips away
As I trip along
Oh break my face (help me now)
With my foolish ways (show me how)
Right now
So I'm broken down
As I judge myself
Oh hold my heart (help me now)
Can't you feel it sweat (show me now)
Right now
Oh help me out (help me now)
Don't let me down (show me how)
I stare at my feet (help me now)
Help me with this ache (show me how)
Now I've lost the fire (help me now)
As I recoil (show me how)
Oh twist my arm (help me now)
It works like a charm (show me how)
Right now
Oh help me out (help me now)
Don't let me down (show me how)
I stare at my feet (help me now)
Help me with this ache (show me how)
I hate writing songs

Writing
01:52
|
|||
I hate writing songs
Because they don't work
To help me
Feel any better
It's not just the words
It's that it's so hard
For them
To come out right
Should love come so hard?
Should it show in the mirror?
And I get sidetracked talking about you
Because it's easy
To think of you
I hate writing songs
About you
Because they don't work
No they just don't do
I hate writing songs
About us
Because they don't work
No they just don't do
But I'll try
Anyway

Twist My Heart
01:55
|
|||
Oh help me out (help me now)
Don't let me dive (show me how)
I stare at my feet (help me know)
Here I go again (show me how)

Dive
02:45
|
|||
I sink
Deeper down
The rabbit hole
Every time I see you
I slip
Through the cracks
It's a balancing act
And I'm not steady
I dive
I can't seem
To catch my breath
When I'm with you
I reach
When you call
Stretch up high
And struggle
I fall
Into you
See the signs
And follow through
I feel
You and me
And you let go
I hear
What's been told
What's a lie
And what's a crime
I shrink
In size
As you grow
And distance yourself
I know
How it goes
I can see my weakened soul
As I lie to my pride
I dive back
I see
And see again
Feelings
Echoing

Anxiety
02:09
|
|||
I don't know what to tell you
It's coming weather I like it or not
I can't stop the feeling
It seems to win the fight
And it's a lie lie
When you come round
and I say bye bye
when your here
And I try try
to stop you
But I die die
every time
I don't know what to tell you
I need these feelings cut
It seems to be growing
It clings on to everything
As I lie lie
on the floor
And go by by
paralysed
As you tie tie
Tie me up
And I dye dye
Everything in red
I feel it rumbling
I feel it shaking
I feel you rumbling
I feel you shaking
Every time your coming back again now
Every time
Every time
As I lay lay
Down my problems
To buy buy
Buy me some time
To get my tie tie
Straightened up
And roll the die die
One more time

Interlude
02:31
|
|||
Now you know she can't be saved
And I can feel that as I'm failing
Are you there? No don't go
I can't do this without
You
Now you know she can't be saved
And I can feel that as I'm failing
Are you there? No don't go
I can't do this without
You
Now you know she can't be saved
And I can feel that as I'm failing
Are you there? No don't go
I can't do this without
You
Now you know she can't be saved
And I can feel that as I'm failing
Are you there? No don't go
I can't do this without
You

Body To Break
01:26
|
|||
I need my body to break
At the seams
To easy my pain
For all to see
I need my body to wreck
(I can't go home)
At the corners
(And see myself)
To help my thoughts
(Looking back)
Trail off
(At me)
I wish I could recall
The gentle ways
That I
Lose myself
I can't look up
And see myself
Looking back
At me

Body To Hate
01:49
|
|||
hate my body and how moves me
I hate my lungs as they hold me
I weather my storms in silence
I trust my tongue to fail me
I hate my thoughts as they define me
I hate my feet as the drag me
I seal my lighting in a plastic cup
I trust you to lose me
I hate thunder as it sacred me
I hate my joy as it betrays me
I keep my heart in a plastic bag
I hide away from you
I hate my voice as it changes
I hate my arms as they carry me
I test my fate with you
I trip slowly back home
I love my body and how it moves me
I love my longs and how they hold me
I weather my storms in silence
I trust you to fail me
|

Rise
00:44
|
|||
I rise
High above
My hole without you
I crawl
Across the floor
Help myself to stand up
I climb
I can't seem to hold my breath
And not look down
I push
Up the stairs
Use my legs
One by one
|

Higher
03:29
|
|||
Higher than hope
Higher than the ground
High above you
High above me
I can't keep my gaze from shifting away
Your holding me from today
High above you
high above me
I know it now its here to stay
My hands are melting
I feel so far away
My head underwater
I pushed my thought
So below me
Asend higher and wave
I don't know what to do anymore
Lower than hope
Lower than the ground
Lower than you
Lower than me
I don't keep my thoughts all in place
You keeping me from tomorrow
Low and behold me
Low and behold you
I forget now, its gone away
My feet are shaking
I feel so removed
My head underwater
I pushed my thought
So below me

Say Goodbye
01:32
|
|||
don't mind
A stab in the back
A whisper in the dark
A ransom of my mind
A thoughtless goodbye
A sunburnt stole kiss
But from you it all changes
I missed you deeply
I loved you so steeply
So
Please don't tell a lie
Please don't fade away
Please don't forget me
Please don't say goodbye
For only you can fix me
Spins my broken mind
Hope hope it's all that's left and
Hold hope for all that's worth
As I feel lost right now
She used to help me
Feel
Ok

Beach
02:22
|
|||
take my shirt off
Oh no I don't forget
Is this how you walk
Is this how you talk
Oh quick there's water
Oh quick there's the sea
And I dip dip dip
As I sink
I hide hide hide
I hide
From view
I walk out and I'm wet
Oh no I didn't forget
Is this all that its about
Is this all that stops me
Oh quick there's cover
Oh quick there's a towel
And I rub rub rub
As I dry
I hide hide hide
I hide
From view
And there is something that I can do
But I'm too sacred to admit it to you
I feel it when sit I feel in the wind
I feel it when It's hot and I don't have much on
I feel it when I tuck and I feel it now

Ghosts
02:55
|
|||
I'm so tried of singing to ghosts
Of singing to you
I want to break your heart
To let you see that I can break hearts too
I want to
Show you mine
Show my pride
Even though I've lost it
And I still picture you in bed with me quite asleep
While I'm wide awake
Thinking about it all
Thinking about you
Slipping outside that night
The day it all changed
To you I stayed the same
I tried spending my time
Thinking about not thinking at all
We could have shined
We could glow
We were mountaintops
Now an albatross
And we break
We crack, We fake, We lie
I tried and now I cry
And I still picture you in bed with me
Quite asleep while I'm wide awake
|

Singing
01:06
|
|||
I like singing songs
Because they sometimes work
To help me
Feel a little better
About you
And me
And how it wasn't meant to be
You and me
Meant to be
|

Three of Us
06:33
|
|||
The three of us are hurting each other
The three of us don't like one another (id)
And we despise ourselves (ego
And we don't trust each other
The two of us are fighting each other
The two of us don't see one another (id)
And I don't like you (ego)
And I don't trust that you will be there for me
I'm sacred of you
I'm sacred of ego
I'm scared of my body weakening
Oh help me I don't have pride
I'm coming down and feeling so upset
How can I go on like this
(Higher than hope, lower than the ground)
(I sink deeper down the rabbit hole every time I see you
I slip through the cracks it's a balancing act and I'm not steady
I dive I can't seem to catch my breath when I'm with you
I reach when you call stretch up high and struggle
I fall into you see the signs and follow through
I feel you and me holding hands as you let go
I know whats been told what's a lie and what's a crime
I shrink in size as you grown and distance yourself)
(As I lay lay down my problems
To buy buy buy me some time
And you tie tie tie me up
And I die die one more time
As I lay lay down my problems
I bleed bleed all over
I plead plead for help
And I need need a way out
As I lie lie to you
and I bleed bleed all over
I plead plead for help
As I need need a way out)
