Know Now
04:48

I want to know
I want to know
I want to know
Now,
Pick me
Like a flower
I will bloom for you
I will bloom
I will bloom
Where will i put
my big ideas
maybe
lay them next to
Whether or not
I want to be
With you
my river is
consciousness
can you swim
words are rafts
Dry your eyes
I want to know
Whats on your mind
Mind over matter
I never thought
I'd live without
loneliness
Lust a drug, but
Your brain a sea
to swim in
hold my tongue
hold my breath
under water
hold my stress
and give in
If I run just hold on
I want to know
the catacombs now
Before
Disappointment comes and
rips through us both
Shreds our dreams
here i'll show you my cards
the good the bad the ugly
all i know is when i'm near you
i want to be the best version
learn the three Bs better let
tears dry
i want to know
i'll tell you now
first

Codex
05:54
|
|||
lift up
lift up
both my hands
lift up
lift up
where you stand
and hold that
i'm called back
'believe'
she is bringing
ruin with her
turn
your eyes from
bell, wand
salt, heather
spun whispers
my ratchet
don't disguise
a compromise
she knows
she knows
she knows
all that i
have hidden
she knows
she knows
more than words
and with my ratchet
i lock away the cord
cold comfort
they'll never know it
they'll never know
i am done
dying engines dying ends red
dining with my enemies
for what
pretending belief
she knows
your secret is safe
there is no escape
your secret is safe

Stupid Crush Song
04:45
|
|||
should i
shouldn't i
i've been pulling petals
i don't know
i don't know
if i can bear
the truth in your eyes
your eyes...
it's much better this way
from a distance
i can see your face
i love to hear your
voice exclaim
your voice...
they say love takes time
but time makes a fool of us all
and i'm foolish after all
i've pulled a petal off
a daffodil wishing to call you dear
but it's ok with me
i love to hear you speak
here where i can gather petals
in your favor
i'll make a wreath
you can be the Caesar
and i'll never be Brutus...
this is why i'm still
in the bushes with my
love
my foolish way of
comparing myself to Brutus
when I should have picked
Cleopatra cause obviously
that's the one you say!
but i know that i'm no Cleopatra
i'm not even kind-of
in company i can't even say
the sole thing i'm trying to say
when ahhhh! You're so clever...
but yeah i'm really into you...
whatever.

Broke the Rules
04:32
|
|||
if i broke the rules
would you bend them
to make me be
the one you could love
i have silver pulling me
silver leaves left to read
it's not so easy to pretend
that when love is lust inside
i need a gas mask to breathe
to breathe the lies into life
i know it all
how could i
let that go
when i don my mask
i already know
i have to make do
with all of this
watered around
belief
i drown in gas for you

Flower
05:38
|
|||
turn me into weeds
"didn't mean to pick your flower
but i picked you today
and i
needed prayer
now on your knees
it's you
you
that pushed it in"
am i too old
do i ask too
many goddamned questions
now
"on your knees,
on your knees"
i don't give a shit today
yes i still recall
the words of
John 3:16
I just don't care
in the mirror
i see his face
and the preacher saying
"girl you had it coming to you"
let me tell you
what i had coming...
i learned...
i learned that i could
get a restraining order
i learned I didn't have to step foot
inside the fucking church again
i learned there is word for
what you did to me
i learned you are a type
pedophile
and you said
don't ask for help
and you said
i deserved all that
you did
i learned you lied
you lied
you lied
liar
you lie
you're a coward
you're a fucking
piece of shit
liar
and i am free of shame
and i don't need to
play your games of pain
i'm alive
and you're
a liar
i'm alive

Jane
05:41
|
|||
one word
comes through
with an orange sky
this falling down
wait
wake wake wake
wake wake wake
one word is flung
from the sky
one word with a
heart compass
promise to set me free
don't despair
my baby Jane
waking the wolves
waking the wolves
is it worry hound now
wound
the worry is
dragging down
from the houses
into the present
into the eyes
wake wake
wake wake
oh help is on its way
help is on its way
baby Jane
he will find his way
always
he will find his way
he will find his way
to you
the way out is in
the way out is in
hold out
your hand, Jane
don't mind the lemon sky
and there'll be tears
down the hall
and despite the flood
the haunted halls
no matter the time
the lines of fear
he will find you
the way out is in
hold out your hand
the way out is in

With Me
03:37
|
|||
if you go there
with me
i will go
despite my fear
despite my fear
if you feel this
with me
i will feel it
with both hands
won't you feel
it with me now
it will be despite
the ones who told
us not to feel
don't you feel it
if you go there
with me
i will go there
with you
i will be with you
and i am looking on
now baby, we're moving on
if you go there
i will feel it
if you feel it
tell me now
if you go there
i will go there
i will feel it
will you feel it
i'm scared
so, don't run
you said
stay with me
i want to stay
i feel
i feel
will you feel it
with me
will you be here
with me

I See You
04:51
|

coquette conquered
shifts
truth a noose
how can i be here
i needed so little
when i asked
one fire held
dust god, ash
oh momma why
why'd you sell me
down the river
sell me for pennies
say savior, no
this love
it's bruised
daddy
why'd you sell me
down the river
you gave me over
for popularity
its going great
now, isn't it
better be careful
baby grew
too old for you
i see right through you
i see
i see
i see

Marches
03:13
|
|||
yes
the march is on
i know it is
one foot in front
of the other- but
i fall
there's a
lesson to be learned
this war in love
is about the journey
don't come bringing bows
bows won't dress this
madness up into a
ball room dance
one word
can drive a wedge in
drive a stake in
hold a hammer, hit
choose carefully

Self Less
02:56
|

Evidently
he put the fear in me
and i grew up
i owe nothing but
to my own resilience
i have my own condolences
for the death of me
the one you believed
was an invention of
my so called maturity
is that mere water
you drink
such a pretty little
thing
nothing like me
and i would be anything
but the one thing
he said he wanted
me to be
that is my self
that is my self
there is no one else
but there was one
she was
wearing a mask of me
is that mere water
you drink
such a pretty little
thing
nothing like me
evidently
he put the fear in me
but i grew up
do you still
scrounge eyes
you can't mine
i am my own
horizon
now i rise
to any occasion
i rise
i rise

Sole
04:48
|

he tried to steal my soul
but it is still attached to
my ankle
i don't believe
i don't believe
your prophesies mean
nothing to me
you can't get me back
i know you need
needed someone to bleed
it's not gonna be me
he tried to steal my soul
but it is still attached to
my ankle
i wanted to be pure...
pure is a concept
i threw into the garbage
there on the bottom of
my can is purity
lies that were taught to me
reciprocity
girls were goods
sold
and i threw refuse
it's
a long way down now
i've recycled
new
he tried to steal my sole
but it is still attached
to my ankle

Thank You
00:43
|

i don't think i can take
the time to tell you
(I'm ashamed it's taken
this long, forgive me, but)
i don't think i can find
the words to tell you
you changed my mind,
you changed my mind,
you changed my life.
