Dead Weight

Few weeks along
But something is very wrong
I feel it down below
Needing you here
But not wanting you to know
Have I said too much?
I wish you would lie and say it’s love
Instead you just leave, I figure it out
Pick a fight when I reach out to you
Saw your brother at night
Drinking at the bar, seems like he’ll be alright
Maybe better than you and me
Is this the reason you’re sticking around
I don’t wanna be your dead weight on the ground
I’m tasting blood again
You can hate me if you wanted to
You can hate me if you wanted to
You can hate me if you wanted to
You can hate me
You can hate me
Always thought the clock was ticking
Is this deliverance or hell on earth ?
Bit of my soul’s now missing
Never to be unearthed
Panic in my veins
Poison in my name
My body’s to blame
But is it such a shame?
Oh I ask myself
It’s a cry for help
Saw your brother at night
Drinking at the bar, seems like he’ll be alright
Maybe better than you and me
Is this the reason you’re sticking around
I don’t wanna be your dead weight on the ground
I’m tasting blood again
You can hate me if you wanted to
You can hate me if you wanted to
You can hate me if you wanted to
You can hate me
You can hate me

Dangerous

Wake up in the morning with the smoke stuck in my throat
Wake up in the morning with a knife inside my coat
I wanna be dangerous, a mother to my soul
I’m not traitorous, I’m just living on the road
And I’m doomed to these eyes of gold
And I’m attuned to the whispers from the uncontrolled,
They foretold that I ain’t coming back
Heavy headed in mind with their black and blue ideas
Curtains drawn and dark as night he lives in my nightmares
He thinks he’s dangerous, a father to my soul
But he’s traitorous and living on the road
And he’s doomed to these eyes of blue
And I can see through to his loose screw and I kiss his tattoos and I know he ain’t coming back
Well he’s a river up a mountain and he’s a gun against your back
But I’m a desert through a highway and I’m your parachutes slack
And he’s a melting pot of pretty lies but he’s all I got through my demise
But I’m a butterfly in a waterfall and he’s got it all but me and I ain’t coming back

Solitude

|

Intoxication, a delicate dance
Along the tightrope of a safe heart
Looking for god everywhere I go
Maybe in a poem underlined, I’m waiting
But for what exactly I don’t know
Return to the restless inadequacy
Offer of comparison steals not the ego but the fantasy
And it’s ceaselessly ceaselessly calling my name
Cos god I love the solitude
Love me back she do
A zero sum of all my lovers
Wait until they all discover that god I love the solitude I do
Beaded breath of the afternoon is making it’s way under cotton blue
As we weave back to the river
Young girls in pink hazmat suits I dream a truck rolled, self abuse
Bloodthirst, shallow surf
Return to the restless inadequacy
Offer of comparison steals not the ego but the fantasy
And it’s ceaselessly calling my name
If only I could touch him
Instead I promise violence
These are the words stuck under my nails like
Mercurial dirt
‘Cos god I love the solitude
Love me back she do
A zero sum of all my lovers
Wait until they all discover that god I love the solitude I do
god I love the solitude I do
I do

Undertow

Bellbird alone at dawn
Forsaken, her twisted neck
Don’t you want me anymore?
Demanding, am I too much?
Why didn’t you say goodbye to me?
I promise I’ll be good
My pleasure is tied up, can’t you see
That this feels like the end?
Give it back
It’s mine and I don’t wanna share
Cut me slack
I’m tired, please don’t stare
Waters rise
Let the river run faster
Undertow will bring you down
Are you mine?
Drop the gates raise the bridges
I will only bring me down
Sunflower between my teeth
He loves me, he loves me not
Chew off my leg, crazy woman
Out of my mind with fear
Why didn’t you say goodbye to me?
I wanna live inside your chest
My bitterness takes it out of me
Can you bear the load?
Give it back
It’s mine and I don’t wanna share
Cut me slack
I’m tired so please don’t stare
Waters rise
Let the river run faster
Undertow will bring you down
Are you mine?
Drop the gates raise the bridges
I will only bring me down
Drop the gates raise the bridges
I will only bring me down

Love Me Not
02:41
|
|

|
She’s the runt of the litter
She’s baring her teeth
Poison and pain
She’s making me weak
Til I’m so small
I’m starting to think
That I lost that I lost that I lost
She’s the antidote I didn’t need
Hold her face in the river down deep
But we grin and we bear it for weeks
And I lost and I lost and I lost
Love me not
Teach me how to fade away
Want me not
And I’ll promise you
I lost and I lost and I lost
I look out to muddy waters in the rain
The ocean to the west is my domain
But on my own she’ll find me once again
To tell me I lost and I lost and I lost
Love me not
Teach me how to fade away
Want me not
And I’ll promise you
I lost and I lost and I lost

To The Bone
04:31
|
|

I won’t be your lover, I can’t be your friend
Can’t pretend it’s fine so maybe this is how it ends
On the verge of tearing myself apart
I felt small and lonely
When I ran away in the dark
Edge away from hysteria
I see clearer now
Not a mess, I am heavier
I can bear it all now
I am free to go, Venus knows
How to drive me out
Of this burning flame
I’m fire again
I have no doubt
That I’m free
That I’m free
Am I glad it’s over or was I just prepared?
Kiss goodbye the corner of my heart left in your bed
Ego is an evil thing, I wish that mine was dead
Then maybe I could kill the thing that lives inside my head
To the bone, it’s all raw again
Can’t control it all now
I’m adrift, washed ashore again
Ribs are waterlogged now
But I am free to go, Venus knows
How to guide me out
Of this burning flame
I’m fire again
I have no doubt
That I’m free
That I’m free
I won’t be your lover, I can’t be your friend
Can’t pretend it’s fine so maybe
