Nothing Left
03:41
|

|
I wanna hear by bones crack when it comes
To pull me apart
And when there's nothing left of my body
Then I'll be
Then I'll be free
I'm ready I'm ready I'm ready I'm ready
I'm ready I'm ready
Feel every tear of skin
Until I'm real again
And when there's nothing left of my body
Then I'll be
Then I'll be free
I'm ready to be everything

Sleepwalker
04:08
|

|
You call me on the phone
It's been so long
I couldn't see how far you'd gone under
Under
I miss you
But I don't recognize you
Where did you go, sleepwalker?
Remember when we were kids
On the floor in your studio
Played me your favorite song
And I loved you until it stung
I miss you
But I don't recognize you
Where did you go, sleepwalker?

Cut the Cord
04:12

Daddy forgive my sins
I know not what I do
I cut the cord from you, from you
Daddy forgive my sins
I know now what I do
I cut the cord from you
And everything I felt for you
Like a boy full of wonder
I followed you, I followed you
Until I ran so far I'd lost you
Now I'm all alone
I guess I'm grown
When I say my prayers at night
I tuck myself in and hold on to myself
Daddy forgive my sins
I know not what I do
I cut the cord from you, from you
Daddy forgive my sins
I know now what I do
I cut the cord from you
And everything I felt for you
And I will try to say that I don't need you
Like I never needed anyone
Like my stomach doesn't knot
Like I am strong
But I am weak for you
Every time I am weak for you
I melt into the sea for you
Into you
Daddy forgive my sins
I know not what I do
I cut the cord from you, from you
Daddy forgive my sins
I know now what I do
I cut the cord from you
And everything I felt for you
Maybe this is for the best
Maybe with a little time we'll both be better for ourselves
Daddy forgive my sins
I know now what I do
I cut the cord from you
And everything I felt for you
Every time

Hunger
04:23

Open water swimming
I got a hunger in me
That won't be tamed until I become the wave
If you want to find me
I'll be out there in the sea
Pull the water over me
Until I become
Let the cup overflow
I'm ready for a new vessel
How does your water flow?
Life's got me feeling like this flesh ain't enough
I'm ready to go deeper, deeper
Open water swimming
I got a hunger in me
That won't be tamed until I become the wave
If you want to find me
I'll be out there in the sea
Pull the water over me
Until I become
I wanna see how deep this goes
How does your water flow?
Well it starts in the chest with a slow beating
A quiet calling
A quiet calling
Until I'm taken
Open water swimming
I got a hunger in me
That won't be tamed until I become the wave
If you want to find me
I'll be out there in the sea
Pull the water over me
Until I become

Heavy
04:30
|
|||
|
You hold me when I am weary
And help me come back to myself
On my darkest days forgive me my tenderness
I got a lot of shit to carry, baby
Oh it's real
All the love I feel
And I hold you when you are
Beside yourself with everything
Trying to fit the world between the bones in your shoulders
And I know that it's too heavy
You weight I can't carry
But I'll love you if you're ready, baby
Oh it's real
All the love I feel
This is the hand we've been given
These are the cards we're dealt
There won't be a better time than right now
Oh it's real
All the love I feel
Oh this love it's real
All the love I feel

Go Back
03:29
|
|||
|
Picture yourself inside the room
Tell me what you hear
Inside of you a thunder
Don't you remember how?
How will you go back there?
Will you go back there?
How will you go back there?
Everything is hollow now
Just keep repeating a faint approximation
And pray it echoes back to you
You, will you go back there?
How will you go back there?
Second guess your senses
It's all a delusion
You dissect a sense of madness
I'm waiting for relief
How will you go back there?
How will you go back there?
Will you go back there?

Irresponsible
03:55
|
|||
|
Let me go
If we don't turn around I will go overboard
Late night thinking becomes creeping
Oh I'm in too deep
Might've lost my head
I don't know what you did
I'm burning
Can't be held responsible for my feelings
I'm twisted, twisted
Is it love or lust?
Well I don't know
But everybody sees it's dangerous
Maybe you could fill this hole inside my body, baby
Maybe you could make me real
Oh I'm in too deep
Might've lost my head
I don't know what you did
I'm burning
Can't be held responsible for my feelings
I'm twisted, twisted
So I'm holding back
'Cause I know what's next
Once you start that spark it's hard to put it out
I won't be no fool
I'm getting over you
But every time I say your name out loud
I burn again
I'm in too deep
Might've lost my head
I don't know what you did
I'm burning
Can't be held responsible for my feelings
I'm twisted, twisted

Body
03:17

|
Can’t stop thinking ‘bout your hands on me, babe
Gripping my hips, lips on my neck, tip of your tongue
It’s been too long, and I think I’m finally breaking
Can you feel my hunger for you?
I want to show you, babe
Next time we touch
You will say my name
I will make your body shake
Your body
Body
Ooh
I’ll try to slow it down for you
How
How many ways can I hold you?
You will say my name
I will make your body shake
Your body
Next time we touch
You will say my name
I will make your body shake
Your body
Body
You say nobody ever make you feel like this
You say my body make you speak another language
Just let it out
I - I - I know we want it
Oh, oh, oooh

New Day
03:37
|
|||
|
Sitting alone talking to myself
Trying to pass the time
I'm alone with my mind
Waiting for a new day to arrive
Waiting for a new day to arrive
All this Black death hangs over our heads
Hangs over our heads
Still she tells me we will rise
Waiting for a new day to arrive
Waiting for a new day to arrive
In my grief I don't see possibility
But still I'm breathing mostly out of spite
I am a Black body breathing
I am something you have not seen
Trying to get my mind right
Trying to keep my light
And I'm Waiting for a new day to arrive
Waiting for a new day to arrive
How long must we sing Strange Fruit?
Waiting for a new day to arrive

Water and Stone
03:56
|
|||
|
It's complicated
I don't know where I'm from
Lay me on the water
And maybe I'll float on
Tell me where I'm from
Is it the lump in my throat?
Is it my blood and bone?
Is it water and stone?
Everywhere feels like a piece of me
But nothing feels my own
Can I just stay a while?
Can I just take some time?
Tell me where I'm from
Is it the lump in my throat?
Is it my blood and bone?
Is it water and stone?
Water and stone

I Find You Again
03:49
|

|
And I find you in the strangest places
All this is too familiar
Though I've never been here before
I can draw maps on my hand of you
I fall into you
I break all the rules
In the morning I'm heavy with love
In the morning I'm yours
Home is where the love is
And I find you in the strangest places
Home is where the love is
And I find you again and again and again
Again and again and again
Again and again and again
Again
