Blood Bath 02:30
lyrics
Water creeps behind my eyes, I sweat my words, Like I twist inside, I can’t feel, I can’t breathe, I cant stand up, Tied up by the skin of my throat, Keep my head down, So we both don’t choke, Breathe 123, Breathe 123 You don’t want to see me it’s a blood bath, Tape machine moments, In my makeup cracks, Crying on the floor, Can’t take it back, Blood on my words, Blood, blood on my words, I see it in your eyes, You’re mystified I can see it in your hands, Clenched tight, you’re composed, But you’re slipping like sand, Round the cracks in my eyes, So numb, my dopamines run dry Breathe this moment down, Breathe this moment down, You don’t want to see me it’s a blood bath, Tape machine moments, In my makeup cracks, Crying on the floor, Can’t take it back, Blood on my words, Blood, blood on my words, I see it in your eyes, You’re mystified, (Instrumental) You don’t want to see me it’s a blood bath, Tape machine moments, In my makeup cracks, Crying on the floor, Can’t take it back, Blood on my words, Blood, blood on my words, I see it in your eyes, You’re mystified,

No Note, No Telephone 03:38
lyrics
I imagined, desolate beaches, A picture so perfect for two, I imagined, blood orange skies, A night to remember with you, Moonlight and dancing with tears in our eyes, Hotel rooms with crisp sheets, Snow White like the flowers you left, On my pillow, You played me for a fool, No I can’t stand the damn near sight of you, You played me for a fool, Hmmhmm, You played me for a fool, No I can’t stand the damn old sight of you, You played me for a fool, Hmmhmm, I cried, salt tears in my pillow, Betrayed myself wishing for you, I lied, convinced I was fine, But black tracks smear my cheeks over you, Memories of dancing with tears in our eyes, Hotel rooms with crisp sheets, Snow White like the flowers you left, On my pillow, No note, No telephone, You played me for a fool, Now I can’t stand the damn near sight of you, You played me for a fool, Hmmhmm, You played me for a fool, No I can’t stand the damn old sight of you, You played me for a fool, Hmmhmm, Time leaves me lonely, Wondering only, What I ever did to you, You poured on the gasoline, And burnt us down, I was blind, All swept up in you, Time leaves me lonely, Wondering only, What I ever did to you, You poured on the gasoline, And burnt us down, I was blind, All swept up in you, You played me for a fool, No I can’t stand the damn near sight of you, You played me for a fool, Hmmhmm, You played me for a fool, No I can’t stand the damn old sight of you, You played me for a fool, Hmmhmm, I imagined, desolate beaches, A picture so perfect for two, I imagined, blood orange skies, A night to remember with you,

Live Wire 02:33
lyrics
Petals fall from the tree’s, Sprinkle blood all on the leaves, That paint and colour the floor, I can feel the seasons change, Like shadows I can’t name, I feel you here, I can feel it in the way you touch me, Way you watch me, It gives it all away, I can see you in the mirror clearly, Hiding, nearly, pulling me astray, You ain’t nothing but a live wire, Nothing but a live wire in my brain, You ain’t nothing but a live wire, Poised destruction, Drive me insane, Sometimes I want you there, Temptation lying in wait I swear, To test my resolve, Put my finger in the socket, My world turned cold, I can feel it in the way you touch me, Way you watch me, It gives it all away, I can see you in the mirror clearly, Hiding, nearly, pulling me astray, You ain’t nothing but a live wire, Nothing but a live wire in my brain, You ain’t nothing but a live wire, Poised destruction, Drive me insane,

Sleep Paralysis 01:24
lyrics
buy track
Are you a shadow, I dream up each night, Sat in the corner of my room, Waiting for numbers to align just right, 4.03AM and now my chest feels tight, Sleep paralysis, Sweet paralysis, Sleep paralysis, Sweet paralysis, You’re the drug, But I don’t get the high, Hallucinate in terrors when I close my eyes, Throats closed up, Now all the airs gone tight, Claustrophobic, nyctophobic, That’s my type, Sleep paralysis, Sweet paralysis, Sleep paralysis, Sweet paralysis,

Playing Pretty 03:15
lyrics
I’ve been playing pretty long enough, Caught in a glass house, Living like a china cup, Caught in your sadistic lies, Was I just filling space, killing time, I take it on the chin, Pull the anger under, Control my whims, When I can barely breathe them down, I can’t take its your voice that haunts me, I try to fake it, it’s a burden on me, I don’t need no judgement, No no not me, Let me just, You’ve been playing me long enough, Reeling me in, Then burning up my universe, Caught in your own web of lies, I’m done filling your space and time, I take it on the chin, Let the feelings fester, Let me just fly, Up to the street lights, Watch the world by lamp light, Live a little in the dusk night, Let me just fly, Just fly (repeated), Rage it all on me, Rage it all on me, What’d you want from me, Rage it all on me, Rage it all on me, I can’t take its your voice that haunts me, I try to fake it, it’s a burden on me, I don’t need no judgement, No no not me, Let me just fly, Up to the street lights, Watch the world by lamp light, Live a little in the dusk night, Let me just fly, Just fly, Let me just fly, Up to the street lights, Watch the world by lamp light, Live a little in the dusk night, Let me just fly, Just fly, I need the air to breathe i’m gunna drown,

Fleeting Fickle 03:03
lyrics

Petal soft kisses on my skin, I’m obsessed with you, Skin to skin, Skin to skin, Tangled in a web of body heat, I’m obsessed with you, Skin to skin, Skin to skin, Taste it on the tip of my tongue, Feel it in the hands running down my thighs, You want it, I want it, It’s lust, This feeling I can’t describe, I have realised, I got too much pride, Addicted, conflicted, restricted, My heart from what’s inside, Skin to skin, a lust I can’t describe Skin to skin, a drug I can’t deny, Lost in the heat of your eyes, Denied by words we never say, You want it, I want it, Is it love, This feeling I can’t describe, I have realised, I’ve got too much pride, Addicted, conflicted, restricted, My heart from what’s inside, Your touch was almost a monster, It was, fleeting, fickle like water, Our love was crushed on a whisper, A rush, fleeting, fickle, fleeting, fickle, Your touch was almost a monster, fleeting, fickle like water, Our love was crushed on a whisper, fleeting, fickle, fleeting, fickle,
