Mad Woman 03:13
lyrics
buy track
I’ve got a million questions In the heat of the moment You fueled me I’m chartless Oh At the blow of the whistle The height of my senses Only crazy decisions Oh Lately Im infatuated Tipping the scales back in my favor The only pattern I have faith in Is that you choose to live in my mad world I’m your mad woman Free is for the willing ‘cause the able don’t need to go When my limit’s off the table and my brakes just lose control Waiting at the finish when the mad world is showing me home I’m your mad woman There is beauty in balance But a gambled potential So many strange revelations Oh They will turn you magnetic Make you lose your intentions But the afterglow’s magic Oh Lately I’m infatuated Tipping the scales back in my favor The only pattern I have faith in Is that you choose to live in my mad world I’m your mad woman Free is for the willing ‘cause the able don’t need to go When my limit’s off the table and my brakes just lose control Waiting at the finish when the mad world is showing me home I’m your mad woman

Not Now 03:12
lyrics
buy track
Not now, I'm hiding in beautiful dreams just blankets on cool summer evenings sweet sent of peaches and mint not now, I'm walking down steep winding stairs that lead to the caves and the echoes Strangers all laugh at themselves I am hiding in an image calmer than a minute ago I go, wherever my mind slows down I am fleeing to a feeling like the changing of the seasons everybody notices counted hours so not now No words, I only want whispers of shells just rushing of tires on the highway crackling of fire and wood no words, I'll sit on white lonely benches by willows and row boats to float on the silence till I feel renewed I am hiding in an image calmer than a minute ago I go, wherever my mind slows down I am fleeing to a feeling like the changing of the seasons everybody notices counted hours so not now

Murmurings 04:35
lyrics
buy track
Dim all lights and wait it out So far I'm only going in old patterns by default Didn't find your warmth And all I fear is on the edge of pouring out Need no new insights I'm going to be alright Head in pillow clouds Head in nightly vows Come, come get me get me dawn rising Murmurings bound to the night The monotone delays of all things out of sight Should we sound alarm? If microscopes take all we love to be analysed Need no new insights I'm going to be alright Head in pillow clouds Head in nightly vows Come come get me get me dawn rising

The Critic 02:47
lyrics
buy track
I've ignored and I've rejected all their statements and their pleads but I've been blamed and judged and tested they have decided I am weak vows in vowels that they plant for hours and oh god There’s a critic in my head Bad bad bad A corrector in my lap Bad bad bad And the judge will grab my waist spin me dizzy, blind, and say Bad bad bad case I have offered them my winnings living lost under their thumb they won't be gone If I just somehow could be faultless they'd swore I’d never feel alone vows in vowels that they plant for hours and oh god they sound like me there's a critic in my head bad bad bad a correcter in my lap bad bad bad and the judge will grab my waist spin me dizzy, blind and say bad bad bad case What if I tell myself something something my fear has forgotten forgotten when to not listen forgotten when to not listen there's a critic in my head bad bad bad a correcter in my lap bad bad bad and the judge will grab my waist spin me dizzy, blind and say bad bad bad case

Love, You Have Made Me 03:50
lyrics
buy track
you're a painting in my sky larger than my entire life white streaks like peace flags waving at me with a smile making all my days worth while sun beams right through me I come undone by your laugh and all the sweet things you said still make the clouds weep and then please once again catch my tears in your hands throw them like confetti love, you have made me the happiest woman love, you have made me the happiest woman like a wet dog at night howling at the streetlights I want to curl up in your lap like a knot a furry beast all tangled up bathe in your comfort I come undone by your laugh and all the sweet things you said still make the lakes flood and then please, love once more set a fire to my core untill my heart pops love you have made me the happiest woman love you have made me the happiest woman save the beehive kill the queen honey cut me very deep left me there wingless thought I was you and you were me now I am you without a dream running out aimless I'm still undone by your laugh and all the sweet things you said still make my dress drop I refuse still seduced to relight my own damn fuse burn resolutions love you have taken the happiest woman love you have taken the happiest woman

Saint-Francis 03:09
lyrics
buy track
sixteen bridges to cross ‘till San Francisco trippy lights on the side of the road make your skin glow pristine bottles of that old wine that you love so filthy excuses you make while you pray for the end goal ghostlike pictures to claim your position blindly leading the blind to submission skip a line for quick life gratification ‘till you override, subside, all things black and white displays buzz in your head and the three dots are downward spiraling fragments of your thoughts elevator built out of pride out of self love ride it all the way to the top, find god. you’re more than the shade of red on your cheeks love more than the needles you willingly bleed for more than he’s ever able to see in a frame, on a screen, in a box with your name on straight face, you’re afraid of this cage where everybody gets stuck trying to control luck straight face, you’re afraid of this cage where everybody gets stuck trying to control luck sixteen bridges ‘till San Francisco trippy lights on the road make your skin glow pristine bottles of that wine that you love so filthy excuses to pray for the end goal

Milk Tornado 03:55
lyrics
buy track
It is too early to say it out loud I let my guard down for a moment biting my tongue and I don’t want you to ever let go now we’ll gather dust we’re still lying south of the fields no space between us Feels like everything I did before this vanished when we stumbled in a kiss, now I need to relive my whole life with you I keep trying to look at it from outside the world we created oh is it too good, too good to be true? You stir a tornado, the sweetest of storms the wind keeps howling in my ear to make me rush around until I am in your arms Feels like everything I did before this vanished when we stumbled in a kiss, now I need to relive my whole life with you I keep trying to look at it from outside the world we created oh is it too good, too good to be true? Feels like everyone I was before your love is gone oh, is it too good, too good to be true? Keep trying to look at it from outside the world we created oh, is it too good, too good to be true?

The Secret 04:09
lyrics

I am a secret one that is hidden in your heart one you can’t let out for no one I am the truth, love you lay a hand to yourself hiding me well for years now Oh, you caught me wild untamed and bright went and left me in the dark now I’m a lie, can’t come to light but I’ll find my own way out I am a habit one that’s destructive to the bone and I help you cope daily and in the end dear when it’s just you and me alone it feels like we don’t need help here Oh, you caught me wild untamed and bright went and left me in the dark now I’m a lie, can’t come to light but I’ll find my own way out I’ll find my own way like an animal like a wild animal you can’t treat me like an animal Oh, you caught me wild untamed and bright went and left me in the dark now I’m a lie, can’t come to light but I’ll find my own way out now I’m a lie, can’t come to light but I’ll find my own way out

Stereopticon 03:46
lyrics
buy track
I try to hide from your eyes as they undress my life they shine on me like a projector now I move from within with your film on my skin the images play with my fingers Beam I’ve never met anyone brighter you surface all of the depths in my body I’ve ever felt so exposed everybody knows now how I feel your light it moves all around The corners go round They leave the shadows embarrassed Now I move from within with your stories until I know them by heart tell them backwards Beam I’ve never met anyone sweeter you make this world a place to believe in I’ve never felt so exposed Everybody knows now how I feel When everything fades, everything fades everything fades into thin air When everything fades, everything fades everything fades you are still there To feel
