Heaven
04:08

Today I put my head in my hands, cried over nothin’
Spilt milk and ruined plans
Today I took a walk on the wild side
Such brave talk...I thought of you and the tiger died
When I go to heaven will I remember how it feels?
When I go to heaven will I remember it was real?
Today I took myself to a happy place
The pain went away, everytime I saw your face
When I go wild, when I go wild and I could scream
When I go wild, will you be happy?

Devils

Tell me what you're feeling I'll tell you it's normal
Tell you it's human, that it ain't awful
Tell me what you're thinking I'll say that it's ok
You're only human, so don't be afraid
There was a devil in me yesterday, a devil in me yesterday
But don't worry, I'm ok
You're only human
Say what you gotta say, dance with the devil anyway
'Cos you're human
Say what you gotta say, knock him off your shoulder everyday
'Cos you're human
Tell me all your secrets I promise I'll listen
And I cross my heart, I'll keep them
Tell me what you're scared of I'll tell you it's ok
Tell you it's human, so don't run away
There was a devil in me yesterday, running in my blood and through my veins
But don't worry, I'm ok
You're only human
Say what you gotta say, dance with the devil anyway
'Cos you're human
Say what you gotta say, knock him off your shoulder everyday
'Cos you're human
Say what you gotta say, devil gonna dance with you anyway
'Cos you're human
'Cos you're human
Say what you gotta say, dance with the devil anyway
'Cos you're human
Say what you gotta say, knock him off your shoulder everyday
'Cos you're human
Say what you gotta say, and dance with the devil
Say what you gotta say, dancing with the devil
Say what you gotta say, and dance with the devil
Say what you gotta say, and dance with the devil

Giving It Up
03:43

Hey...is it ever normal to question
Something that should feel...unconditional
‘Cause I’ve been holding some hesitation
And I’ve been feeling something I don’t know if it’s right Blinking in the daylight, dreaming at night yeah
Hey...is it ever normal to question?
I’m always giving it up for your love
I’m always giving it up for your love
And everyday is never enough
I’m always giving it up for your love
Over and over
Another day, another drama
Our life is like a circus, round and round
And I’m a puppet on a set of your strings
I can’t think, I can’t move, I can’t breathe
No I can’t breathe
See myself falling, never hit the ground
Every door is revolving, can’t figure it out
Giving it up...

Tongue Tied
03:46

I know I feel things deeply, my emotions ocean deep
It’s all in my head, you say, so why can’t I think thoughts to keep? Sometimes I can feel nails under my bed
A sharp edge tears holes in all the words I said
And everybody’s looking at me, hide and seek
Nobody’s real completely, everybody’s pretending
And I wanna join in, believe me
But I can only speak when I’m singing
Sometimes I can feel nails under my bed
A sharp edge tears holes in all the light I shed
Whenever I don’t feel good enough
Shake, shake, shake the girl inside, wanna wake up the child
Whenever my tongue is tongue tied
Shake, shake, drink to my health and the words coming back
When I hear that voice in my head
Telling me I’m so bad, and everybody’s looking at me

A Sun Going Down
03:52
|
|||
There was a vision, in a dream
Caught a glimpse on my TV screen
Like a wave, mindless tide
Pushing out what I tried to hide
You don’t blind me anymore
I see holes in the fabric
You don’t blind me anymore
You’re a sun going down in the sky
Holding onto someone far behind
You’re a sun
A sun going down
You’re a sun
A sun going down
Caught a shiver, fever dream
Pull me out of this waking sleep
Open your eyes, swallow the tide
Easy as breathing how I leave you behind
You don’t blind me anymore
I see holes in the fabric
You don’t blind me anymore
You’re a sun going down in the sky
Holding onto someone far behind
You’re a sun
A sun going down
You’re a sun
A sun going down
Now the energy’s gone, what’s the point in holding on?
Let go of my horizon, let go
You’re a sun going down in the sky
Holding onto someone far behind
You’re a sun going down in the sky
Holding onto someone far behind
You’re a sun
A sun going down
You’re a sun
A sun going down
You’re a sun
A sun going down
You’re a sun
A sun going down

Take Me To Your Leader
03:21
|
|||
I want the sum of your parts
Give me your head
Give me your heart
And I want to peel your skin
Dive for gold
Let me in
Take me to your leader
Promise you’ll pull me into the fold
Say you’ll never leave me
‘Cause I never wanna be alone
I want to lose control
To someone else
Who’ll break my fall
And if I give you the key
Can you pull my strings?
Not be seen
Take me to your leader
Promise you’ll pull me into the light
See that I’ve been bleeding
Baby now I’m just a sorry sight

Better
03:40

|

I don’t feel myself anymore
Don’t feel like the girl I was before
Stole her away in the night, left my pillow lighter than a feather, so small Small and naked and reborn
A brand new person, the sum of my parts
I don’t feel afraid anymore
All the things I hate don’t bother me now
Throw them away in the night, leave my pillow lighter than the shadow I was before
Before I met you I was so raw
Everything got to me
Everything sore
But you make everything better
You make everything better
You make everything better
Better than before

Listen To The Radio
04:50

|

I wake up at night
Daylight leaves me inconsolable
Magnified by light
My thoughts feel so uncontrollable
If I just sit tight
Will my darkest clouds evaporate?
Quiet, close your eyes
Listen to the radio
I get dark days you know
No one wants to hide
Bravery is so achievable
When your tongue’s untied
There is nothing too unreachable
Look into the sky
Every star is individual
Quiet, close your eyes
Listen to the child inside of you
Dark days you know
Dark days, I’m losing tomorrow

Old Movies
03:22

Lying there in the dark
On the inside, looking out
Playing scenes from old movies
Zoom in on the ugly parts tripping me up
Cut ‘em up, rearrange
Complete but not the same
Playing scenes from old movies
Black and white, in retrograde
Playing scenes from old movies
Sing yourself a new song
Took a long time to say
“Put away your burning scars”
In the cool light of day
I forgot the same old rhythms tripping me up
Tripping me up
Playing scenes from old movies
Playing scenes from an old movie
It’s just a scene from an old movie
Lying there in the dark
On the inside, looking out
Playing scenes from old movies
Zoom in on the bravest parts
