The light is so blinding I know that you're smiling And I've been trying to find my way out Symbolic anointing It's so disappointing All of the ways that you've let me down You said it's just one kiss You know that I hate this But you have the power to clear that from your mind And well in time I'm just a dream to you Salt on the river I'm only a shimmer Shivering coming apart I'm skimming My knuckles are white This dress is too tight You turn out the light I'm hoping it's quick You're making me sick Don't know when it hit Feel like something bit me And now poison's flowing deep inside I hate this You've let me down Deep inside I'm not strong enough To tell you now myself But one day soon I'll bring deliverance I'm strong enough To tell you now myself Well, one day soon Bring deliverance The light is so blinding I know that you're smiling And I've been trying to find my way out Symbolic annointing It's so disappointing All of the ways that you've let me down You said it's just one kiss You know that I hate this But you have the power to clear that from your mind And well in time I'm just a dream to you Salt on the river I'm only a shimmer Shivering coming apart I'm skimming My knuckles are white This dress is too tight You turn out the light I'm hoping it's quick You're making me sick Don't know when it hit Feel like something bit me And now poison's flowing deep inside

Giving away every part of me Cuz they want me to be like this All I got left is my memory It's the only thing you can't fix I'll change my truth I'm walking lie I'll play it til we out of time I fall into the devil's eyes So I can see you better now I'll lose my breath On what I have left I'll lose my sleep And I don't make sense I handed you what's left of my life I fall but you don't mind I fall, I fall but you don't mind I fall, I fall but you don't mind I fall but you don't mind I can see you better now Go Lights out, drunk crowd You'll take all that I can't give The worst times with blank minds Pretend I was completely healed I'll change my truth I'm walking lie I'll play it til we out of time I fall into the devil's eyes So I can see you better now

Pretzels on the Floor 03:39
lyrics

I'll meet you at the retro bar Gonna take your mind off of it It's better than in your car Make this our secret habit We will get close, doesn't need to be personal I know your ghosts cuz they talk to me through the wall This feels like a warzone What are we fighting for White flag in the unknown Pretzels on the floor I'll call off my troops If you swear we'll keep a truce So, this feels like a warzone And I can't win if I cannot win you It came over like a hurricane Nothing ever will be the same I took a remedy and felt no pain It came crashing like a tidal wave I know we've tried and tried again But still I lay broken hearted in my bed Attempted before, I'd walk out the door But I still come back for more This feels like a warzone What are we fighting for White flag in the unknown Pretzels on the floor I'll call off my troops If you swear we'll keep a truce So, this feels like a warzone And I can't win if I cannot win you

Take a dozen railroad whistles, braid them together And let one strand after another drop off The last feels so frightfully piercing as to go through your heart It is not his appearance that stops our heart The opposite: His invisibility Be careful, be ready I open the hunt Tonight we come dancing But don't close your eyes I want you to see me from everywhere I know you won't feel it Desire in the air I feel like wolf tonight Howlin' at the moon I will find you soon I hear it round and round Rattle like from animal, animal, animal Cuz I been falling for you knee-deep Been losing my mind But you don't wanna see me You're playing for time I want you I want you I want you one more time I want you I want you I want you one more Cuz I been falling for you knee-deep Been losing my mind But you don't wanna see me You're playing for time I want you I want you I want you one more time I want you I want you I want you Long nails, sharp claws None in a bedfull Don't move, don't try It's gain love or die Long nails, sharp claws None in a bedfull Don't move, don't try It's gain love or die I feel like wolf tonight Howlin' at the moon I will find you soon I hear it round and round Rattle like from animal, animal, animal Cuz I been falling for you knee-deep Been losing my mind But you don't wanna see me You're playing for time I want you I want you I want you one more time I want you I want you I want you one more Cuz I been falling for you knee-deep Been losing my mind But you don't wanna see me You're playing for time I want you I want you I want you one more time I want you I want you I want you

The Storm 03:41

The storm Living in the present Never in the past You give me the spark I need to find I can hear it in the distance Coming out of the dark It's moving towards you and me Something's gonna happen soon This is the moment I've waited for The energy is flowing through The storm It's coming Bring on the thunder I wanna dance in the rain I wanna ride that perfect storm again I feel it moving me, electricity Flashing across the sky tonight Let's ride the perfect storm again It's coming from the heavens Lighting up the ground We're oversaturated by the sound Awakening the senses Feeling so alive The atmosphere is beautiful tonight Something's gonna happen soon This is the moment I've waited for The energy is flowing through The storm It's coming Bring on the thunder I wanna dance in the rain I wanna ride that perfect storm again I feel it moving me, electricity Flashing across the sky tonight Let's ride the perfect storm again

I like your body, I like your mind Girl I heard your word You don't wanna be disturbed So suppose we get cozy And then later get uncurbed In my bed, not just yet Cuz I said the scene was set For libation conversation And our faces bathed in red Listening to my quiet quips Whispering 'bout our lives Glistening are your twilight lips Everytime you sigh Nearly spooning in our booth Soon two queens swoon Dream maroon, we commune while Dean croons tunes I can take you there I can take you I can take you there I can take you there Oh I can take you I can take you there Mai Tai sippin' Side eye ignition My sly precision Thigh highs in vision Geriatric asks if we're downtown for round three That's a hat trick, just can't mask our glee Out of here we're breaking I'm giving what you're taking Reciprocal wish fulfilled About our cellars shaking Skipping up the street Singing songs until my res Sweet cinnamon caress On my floor is your dress I can take you there I can take you I can take you there I can take you there Oh I can take you I can take you there

Standing on the Verge of Getting It Wrong 03:38

I don't like being on the edge of things One doesn't really go anywhere by design, you know How did I get here I'm standing on the high dive Fresh-faced and I'm wasted Flushed with fever I never felt so alive Said I would never do this Cuz I'm queasy with heights So blazed it, I'm wasted I'm standing taller So blinded by these headlights Oh rinse me out Hold me now through this Hose me down Cuz I'm so out of it Cool me down Hold me now through this Take me out I'm so out of it Just can't believe So hard to breathe I'm in that upside down Never get out Just can't believe So hard to breathe Hold me down and shut me out I'm coming down now There'll be enough time So hasty, I'm losing There ain't no patience Could speed us through this long line So crazy, I'm waiting Hold me now Oh rinse me out Hold me now through this Hose me down Cuz I'm so out of it Cool me down Hold me now through this Take me out I'm so out of it Just can't believe So hard to breathe I'm in that upside down Never get out Just can't believe So hard to breathe Hold me down and shut me out

I keep saying that it's only for a season The weather keeps changing And it still feels like it's freezing outside Like it's freezing outside I keep telling myself there's a reason And it'll all be over if I just keep believing and try Just keep believing and try Nobody wants your here, nobody Cuz every time I go outside The rain feels like something out of a dream Learned all my lessons This is my time No worries, no stressing And as I look up at the sky A million thoughts keep asking why I think Learned all my lessons This is my time No worries, no stressing I fought it for a long time This life is not mine No moment ever wasted So close I can almost taste it No matter how much my heart is aching I'll keep chasing after my breakthrough

Falling to pieces Don't let me go The paint is flaking off The walls I know And I can remember when you hold me close That now our love, our love, our love Is broken and old Shutting my eyes pulls it together Beats and shapes are lost It's better to listen alone And turn it higher, higher Turn it higher, higher Turn it higher I can remember when you hold me close That now our love, our love, our love Is broken and old

El sangre Why are you looking at me like you're scared You said you wanted to get weird Now you're all mad Wasn't it nice I took a bite Don't run, we're just beginning Just one taste I promise I won't take too much You'll be alright Turn out the light Turn out the light El sangre El sangre El sangre El sangre Always on my mind I wanna make you mine Always on my mind I wanna make you mine Always on my mind I wanna make you mine Always on my mind I wanna make you mine Always on my mind The knives are sticking through my ribs I degrade while you're watching this It's been a sick old time Here in my mind Here in my mind Watch out, his blood down there below So cold, girl bad that no one knows Undead we feel alright Turn out the light Turn out the light
