Fit of Passion
03:35
|
|||
Count on me to be calm and contorted
Picture of poise burning her frame
Well, I lost it all, lost it all in a fit of passion
Yeah, I lost it all, lost it all in a fit of passion
Learn to control myself better than the last time, baby
Learn to disown myself better than the last time, baby
Count me out of all your calm contortions
Plenty of poise to burn in this town
Well I lost it all, lost it all in a fit of passion
Then it got too small, got too small, the fit of passion
Learn to control myself better than the last time, baby
Learn to disown myself better than the last time, baby
Learn to control myself better than the last time, baby
Learn to dispose of myself better than the last time, baby
Lost it all in a fit of passion
(Lost it all) goodbye, my elegance
(Lost it all) goodbye, my elegance
Lost it all
Learn to control myself better than the last time, baby
Learn to disown myself better than the last time, baby
Learn to control myself better than the last time, baby
I’ll yearn just to bear myself

Saving Face
03:07
|
|

It all started in my jawline
Biting down on my toothache
Everyone said my smile
Was looking out of place
You were saving all your skins in
My sins to keep them smooth
When they pulled out my tooth
You had nothing left to lose
You know I’m not your favourite daughter
And I’m not your favourite friend
But I know I’m your favourite
Whenever I can pretend
I know I’m not your favourite daughter
And I’m not your favourite friend
But I see how you fake it
So I can pretend
Mouthless for the solo
Screaming at the empty road
Alone
Alone
Still and fine as photos
Careening down the empty road
Alone
Alone
Leave your body hollow
Throw up out the window
Left, my body followed
Out into the cold snow
Softly, body spoke
“Nowhere left to go. But go.”
And I can’t tell if you’re lying
When you wipe tears from my face
Warm to the touch
Cold to all of my mistakes
Where’s your favourite armour?
Where’s your favourite friend?
Where’s her willingness to bend and bend and bend and bend?
Not your daughter
Not your friend
To save

Short Fuse
03:31
|

Spark, gently spark
Light up the room
Short fuse supplied
For a long night
Watch, as flames dance
You disappear
Everything that burns
Everything that burns
Everything that burns
Fades away
Everything that burns
Everything that burns
Everything that burns
Dies someday
Find a way
To stay
Alight, alight
Good, good intention
Makes good tinder
Leave a smoke trail
Behind
Watch, as flames dance
You disappear
Everything that burns
Everything that burns
Everything that burns
Fades away
Everything that burns
Everything that burns
Everything that burns
Dies someday
Find a way
To stay
Alight, alight
Watch, as flames dance
Watch, as flames dance
Watch, as flames dance
You disappear
You disappear
You disappear

All Eyes Open
04:20

Watch me mythologize my demise
Into something more appetizing
Can't wait to eat it up
Watch me encode my erosion
Into something more slow motion
Can't wait to see it, ah,
Oh don't you speed it up
All eyes open
Curtain's closing
Watch me mythologize my demise
Into something more appetizing
Can't wait to eat it up
Watch me encode my erosion
Into something more slow motion
Can't wait to see it, ah,
Oh don't you speed it up
Watch me step offstage
All eyes open
Curtain's closing
All eyes open
Curtain's closing
Watch me mythologize my saddened eyes
Into the stars you see at night
Gives off the sweetest light
Watch me encode (What is my code?)
The body I keep my bones in (Tell me, are bones)
Into something worth devotion (worth your devotion?)
Gives in to fleeting life
Gives up without a fight
Watch me step offstage
All eyes open, curtain's closing
All eyes open, curtain's closing
All eyes open, curtain's closing
All eyes open, curtain's closing
All eyes open, curtain's closing
All eyes open, curtain's closing
When you look away, I feel the breath I take
Something nameless within me wakes
Can't wait to speak it out
And you won't hear it, ah

Golden Repair
03:21
|
|||
Trace my sadness back
To my twisted past
Scars that mar my way
Truthfully on display
See my hidden eyes
Behind a disguise
Tear tracks etched in place
Down familiar ways
May we remember the times that we survived
May we remember our hurt will heal in time
May we remember the night will turn to day
May we never forget to see our darkness
Watch my broken being (watch my broken being)
Fraying at the seams (fraying at the seams)
Burning out my dreams (burning out my dreams)
Ashes, dust, unclean
May we remember the times that we survived
May we remember our hurt will heal in time
May we remember the night will turn to day
May we never forget to see our darkness
Remember the times that we survived
Remember our hurt will heal in time
Remember the night will turn to day
Remember to see your darkness

Welcome Back
04:06
|
|||
I tried so hard and then I didn't try at all
Stretched myself too thin
Then rolled back into what was comfortable
And you're always so hard to reach
Why do you make this so hard on me
Sparks of contact in the darkness that I hate
I feel alone but I don't know who to blame
And you're feeling distant
It's impossible to miss it
Oooh
Oooh
Oooh
Oooh
So I wanna welcome you back into contact
If you come I won't throw no curses
Yeah I wanna welcome you back iconoclast
If you come I'll let you in, I swear I will
Oooh
Oooh
Oooh
Oooh
I'll let you in, I swear I will
I get mixed up in self-protection
I'm trying hard to keep this door open
Cause I can be a bit hard to reach
And I don't wanna lose this for anything

Angelo

Angelo, where'd you go?
Did I upset you with my attitude?
Just know it's not you, it's everyone
Angelo, why do I try so hard
When I go that far, it hurts more than it helps
Wish I could listen to myself
I'm on the beach with my love
Not listening to messages or calls
And I'm happy to be this way
20 messages
I haven't opened yet
3 missed calls
Unnoticed
I don't have enough for you or anyone
It's a spring in my life
I thought it was the winter
What I thought was a weight
Was just a mistake in thinking
Maybe it's not that complicated
Ooh, ooh, ooh,
Ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
It's a spring in my life
I thought it was the winter, ya
What I thought was a weight
Was just a mistake in thinking
Maybe it's not that complicated
