Every Time

Every time you want to put my species on the brink
Just gonna make more
Nahnahnahnahnahnahnah
Every time you try to drop that mickey in my drink
Just gonna stay woke
On and on and on and on
We'll be fine, we'll be fine if we change our mind, change our mind
Bodies know, bodies know when the time is right
Don't worry ‘bout us
We'll be fine, we'll be fine if we change our mind, change our mind
Bodies know, bodies know when the time is right
Don't worry bout it
Every time you want to clock me speeding through your streets
Ain’t gonna stay slow
Nahnahnahnahnahnahnah
Every time you try and put the concrete on my feet
Just gonna stay floatin'
On and on and on and on
We'll be fine, we'll be fine if we change our mind, change our mind
Bodies know, bodies know when the time is right
Don't worry bout us
We'll be fine, we'll be fine if we change our mind, change our mind
Bodies know, bodies know when the time is right
Don't worry ‘bout it
Honey, it took a long time to know that this is who I am
Cause you know, and I know I'm still becoming
what a world tends to be
So, always on the move
Cause you know
And I know
That every time you want to try and pin me to the cross
Ain’t gonna say no
I live on and on and on and on and on
Every time you tell me all this change comes at a cost
Just gonna go broke
Nahnahnahnahnahnahnah

I Tried
04:31
|
|||
I tried
But you wouldn’t let me go
Let me go
Go where I wanted to go
You and I were drinking from a cup we thought was bottomless
and so we never filled it up
But even in the shallow waves
I'm crashing up against you like a broken bottle babe
I know you always
Thought this thing would hold the way you wanted it to
And who would've guessed
That I would be the one to stretch it till it breaks

Give Up Your Thoughts
03:26
|
|||
How come you couldn’t stay?
You cut me up into waves
and played in the surf that it made
Till I just got in the way
Give up your thoughts
I ain’t your honey pie
I ain’t your sugar, man
I aint your baby
I won’t give up
I won’t give in to this
I won’t have any part of this game you’re playing
No way, I won’t have none
No way, I won’t be her
No way, I won't have none
No way, won't be that girl
Not your brown paper packages tied up in strings
Not just a few of your favorite things
I’m not the particle, I’m not the wave
I’m not the story of light that you made

Hi Young Lover
03:47
|
|||
Nothing mystifies me more than you
Nothing gets me like sitting here dreaming of it
I live in a world,
live in a world that’s in-between
You live in a world
Live in a world that’s higher, baby
Hi, young lover
what took you so long?
Do you wanna get out of this place?
Now I don’t know…
we’re too far
We only wanted to be out of this safe house
Skinny dipping in the firmament
Bodies buzzing when we hit like cymbals crashing
We love in a world, love in another, brighter plane
We love in a way, love in a way that’s higher, baby
Hi, young lover
we’re so far
Do you want to help me out of this dress?
Now I don’t know…
It’s too far
I only wanted to be out of my head
Hi, young lover
we’re so gone
Now we know how much it hurts to bloom so
Bye, young lover
We’re too far
It’s enough to know you hurt like I do

Wilder

I wake up hard baby
I need someone to remind me
Come in and find me
Show me proof
If I can’t hold that totem in my hand I might be dreaming
I wake hard up hard sometimes
Can’t hear the sound of my heart beating
or feel my blood streaming
Oh, it’s true
I know it shouldn’t have to be this hard to keep from dreaming
I need some inception
Some broken encryption
Oh, I do
Oh, I do
Open me up till I remember
the way that it felt
Trigger my animal emotions
You’re breaking the spell
Pull at my thread till my protections
unravel right off
I’m a little wilder for you
I wear the veil baby
I never show my intentions,
or little dimensions
all over me
You said the area underneath my curve is too well guarded
I make it hard baby
I never say how to find me,
how to remind me
I’m lock and key
But you broke in here anyway
and left the place bombarded
I need some inception
Come break my encryption
Oh, I do
Oh, I do
Open me up till I remember
the way that it felt
Trigger my animal emotions
You’re breaking the spell
Pull at my thread till my protections
unravel right off
I’m a little wilder for you

You like me painted and thin
missing a dimension
posing iconographic
fingers like steeples
You like me hanging around
staring at the people
glowing like I’m some angel
half a smile on my face
But I need to come down
get off of this wall
kiss you all over
get into your skin
Want to love what I love
and see what I see
We need to let this thing be
I’ll let you know how it feels
to be a human being
I’m letting go of the fault
Of needing to be saved at all
I’ll let you know how it feels
to be a human being
I’m letting go of it all
This is how it feels
You like me barefoot and mute
crying in a chapel
But this church has no ceiling
and my reverence has flown
Don’t want your devotion
Don’t want your belief
Don’t carve me in marble
or pray at my feet
You’re not my sinner
and I’m not your saint
We need to let this thing breathe
I’ll let you know how it feels
to be a human being
I’m letting go of the fault
Of needing to be saved at all
I’ll let you know how it feels
to be a human being
I’m letting go of it all
This is how it feels

The New Fine
03:36
|
|||
You wouldn’t stay another moment
You wouldn’t say we were good enough
What would it take to ever hold you
Don’t say
Don’t want to hold you back
You were the one I would have always hunted
I was the one who would have always wanted
You saw the blood
blood in our water
Who saw it first?
It doesn’t matter
And now with no one to stop us
No covering
No place to hide
(It got broken up, a little schizo, baby)
All this playing at self immolation
And for all that burning
it was always inside
(A little heartbreak, baby, and we’re gonna be fine)
Scratching your face to start a fire
Making us spark so I could watch it burn
Putting you down to stay above it
Walking on stilts to keep from touching earth
A little dove
You want to hold on to
It’s never enough
and then it’s holding you
One of these days I’ll stop
I’ll stop
I’ll stop now
Now we’re alone with no way to fake it
No clothing
No place to hide
(It got broken up, a little schizo, baby)
Finally touching myself so deeply
After all that trouble
It was always inside
(A little heartbreak, baby, and we’re gonna be fine)

Like A Ghost
03:41
|
|||
I ain’t your ghost
I’m not gonna be seen clean through
Not the voice that you hear in the dark
I ain’t your ghost
Not the weight that’s been dragging down on you
from the chains at the back of your truck
I’m waiting
(Oh I’ve waited)
I’m waiting
(Oh I’ve waited)
I'm like a ghost
A distortion, a bad, bad feeling
setting fire to your energy field
A pack of wolves
We’re not gonna stay hungry for long, baby
Broken free, now we’re howlin’ for you
I’m waiting
(Oh I’ve waited)
I’m waiting
(Oh I’ve waited)
What have you done, oh, what have you done?
There’s nowhere to run
Not your ghost
I’m not gonna be with you that dark day
When the stars fall to feed on your earth
Not your ghost
I’m the gravity tearing you to pieces
I’m the dark, when you run out of light
I’m waiting
(Oh, I’ve waited)
I’m waiting
(Oh, I’ve waited)

Waterfall
04:45
|

I’m not gonna lie
I'm gonna give it to you straight
This will be the hardest thing I'll ever have to say
Take my hand
I won’t let go
Hold your tongue
and listen close
Take another breath
then take another one slow
I’m in everything you are and already know
Don’t look back
You’ll never prove it
Don’t look down
We’re falling through it
Take another step
then take another one slow
(the stars explode again and again)
Climb out on the branch to see how far we can go
(our bodies leaning into the wind)
Hold my hand
of scattered ashes
In the dust
our love is flashing
I will be right here, babe
Don’t you doubt it
Out here for light years, babe
All around you

Some Understanding
04:07
|
|||
It’s heavy
The way you’re pulling at my thread baby
I don’t mind
I was tied up in knots anyway
Oh I
I’m gonna need some understanding
To keep this open and I
I’m gonna need some understanding to keep this going
I know you said we’ve got this
I know you said it
We’re so far from holding it
Yet
Immaculate connection
Touching without touching
Constant brushing of
roots seeking roots seeking water
Don’t let us go dry
And I
I’m gonna need some understanding
To reach you so far and I
I’m gonna need some understanding to keep from closing
I hope your heart can keep this open
Don’t you feel like you still want it?
I know you felt it
Keep on feeling it with me baby
Don’t desert this, keep it growing
Don’t give up, just keep this open

Stretch It
02:20
|
|||
Don’t give up I know you’re searching
Don’t give in
I know it’s pushing
I know it’s working
It’s stretching you out
Don’t give up I know you’re trying
Don’t give in to all the striving
I know it’s pushing
It’s stretching you out
Stretch, stretch it!
Stretch, stretch it!
Stretch it, baby
Stretch it, baby
Don’t get stuck, you’ll never stop it
And when you can’t
You know it’s working
You know it’s doing
It’s stretching you out
Stretch, stretch it!
Stretch, stretch it!
Stretch it, baby
Stretch it, baby
