I've gotta carry what I've got
All the way through this life alone
Feels like lately I could use
A little while longer in the womb
Lonely lover
All I wanna do is take your pain away
I try to hold you
But every time I do I'm only in your way
Hey
Don't look for where it ends
And where it begins
It's a tight-wire, tight-wire
Remember there's no way
Anyone can stay
Wide-eyed, wide-eyed
It's hollow
Inside my cave and you're a fire burning
I promise
I'll find a way stop this world from hurting
I remember
Everything was warmer in the womb
I have made it hard to leave you
So I'm standing like a statue
Never knowing what to do or
Where I'm going
Don't look for where it ends
And where it begins
It's a tight-wire, tight-wire
Remember there's no way
Anyone can stay
Wide-eyed, wide-eyed

What You Like

I've been trying with a quiet voice to learn your melody
But you sing it different all the time and keep on changing key
You're a phantom when I'm with you and you haunt me when you leave
You're crawling like a termite and I'm helpless like a tree
But I'll fix what is wrong
And I'll be the thing that you want
I don't wanna be myself no more
I wanna be what you like
I've been burning in your desert tryna make it to the lake
But it's only getting further out with every step I take
Every answer is a riddle, every question is a test
I will wait to talk to you again when I am perfect
I don't wanna be myself no more
I wanna be what you like
My skin is stained with black and blue
It won't come clean no matter what I do
It's broken glass I'm looking through
To rearrange my world for you
I don't wanna be myself no more
I wanna be what you like
Oh
I don’t want be myself no more

Bite My Nails

My eyes are shut
Early morning, it's there again
Down in the pit
Of my stomach, ants are crawling
I can feel them
The little things you said
The little things I did
And anything could happen
Anything could happen
I bite my nails until they bleed
I bite my nails until they bleed
The stones
In my shoes are walking with me
Wherever I go
Indoor, outdoor, country, city
The sleeves
Of my coat are dripping water
The wind blows
Gives me goosebumps, makes me shiver
Over and over
The little things you said
The little things I did
And anything could happen
Anything could happen
I bite my nails until they bleed
I bite my nails until they bleed
Time will not be on my side forever
I know time will not be on my side forever
I want you
I want you to be my blanket
Wrap yourself around me
I want you
I want you to hold my hand
But how can I ask, when you might see?

Push Pull

Cut my hair, cut my body up
Into another shape
I wake up different
And go to bed different again
I push and pull
Against the grain
I push and pull
In opposite ways
I should stay in the sunshine
I know it'll do me good
Stuck in this body but
Nobody knows it's me in here
I push and pull
Against the grain
I push and pull
In opposite ways
Listen, don't edit yourself
You are still creating
Who you are
I push and pull
Against the grain
I push and pull
In opposite ways
Listen, don't edit yourself
You are still creating
Who you are

Go With You

Skinny dipping in the space
In between our fates
Feet are kicking random ways
I'll follow you while you are following me
Could I never be lost again? Anything is a sign if you're looking
Look at what I did for you
Oh, do you like it?
Ooh, floating like a fairy
Hold hands with a maybe
I remember what love tastes like
Sweet like cherry
Make me very
Momentary
Coz that's where it is
Better it be
Could I never be lost again?
Anything is a sign if you're looking
Look at what I did for you
Oh, do you like it?
Girl I wanna go with you
Oh, would you like me to?
Play flute for the tiger
Music till the lights go out
Tell time she can close her eyes
While we're skinny dipping in the space
In between our fates
Feet are kicking random ways
I'll follow you while you are following me
Could I never be lost again? Anything is a sign if you're looking
Look at what I did for you
Oh, do you like it?
Girl I wanna go with you
Oh, would you like me to?
I wanna go with you
Would you like me to?

Piano in the Dark

My frame looks so good in your pink jacket
You remind me I'm a woman and that I can like that
I am not a storm in the distance
I am not a man, beaten down and pessimistic
I'm sorry I was too afraid
Of saying something so cliche
I should have told you every day
That I love you, I do
I'm combing the world with my fingers
I'm feeling for the meaning where you linger
Weren't you my number one fan?
Did I show you too much or not enough of who I am?
Do I have to solve this right now
Can we play piano in the dark?
Sing together in the bath
Your friend can give me that tattoo
Same as what she did for you
I wanna take you out to a gay bar
Smoke a joint at the midnight sauna
Never mattered what we did
You can make fun from anything
I wanna rewrite yesterday
So I can say what people say
I wanna tell you every day
That I love you
I do, I do, I do

Lightning in a Bottle

You used to say my name
Like it was a golden word in a prayer or a poem
You showed me there was so much time
You can knead it like dough, shape it well
And watch it rise
When time comes to take my lovers away
One spark will always remain
You're lightning in a bottle
You led me in the dance of life
There was so much space to move
Finally, I loved to be alive
You told me that a flower
Didn't need a reason to bloom
What else would it do?
When time comes to take my memories away
You can never ever fade
You're lightning in a bottle

I Am Not a Rock
03:28

You took me far away, a clearing in the trees
I looked into your eyes, but it was too dark to see
Thought we could sit down by the river
Rest our bare feet on the cool rocks forever
What a pretty fantasy
I felt like my life needed sweet things
I thought that you could bring me them
But you came, empty handed
One moment tastes like honey
The next like unripe fruit I was too eager to bite into
Trust is hard to find, easy to lose
I got bigger things to do than sit around waiting for you
I learnt trust is hard to find, easy to lose
I got bigger things to do
You knew just what to say to wash my troubles away
Like a wide-eyed fish, I took the bait
Opened up my little shell and let you take the pearl
Well I’ll make another one and I’ll keep it for myself, because
Trust is hard to find, easy to lose
I got bigger things to do than sit around waiting for you
I learnt trust is hard to find, easy to lose
I got bigger things to do
Than sit around waiting for you
You are my number one, and I’m your second best
All I wanted you to do was put your arm around my waist
You are the rock and I am the river
Could try to wear you down or just be my own lover
Trust is hard to find, easy to lose
I got bigger things to do than sit around waiting for you
I learnt trust is hard to find, easy to lose
I got bigger things to do

The fantasy of your hand in my hand
Will not let go of me
I fight but I am swept away
In the tide you created when you looked my way
With your blue eyes
Turned down at the corners
I tried to make you smile but it only made me cry
I have no right to be this unhappy
Especially since you told me this would happen
And I know that I need to do some healing
But the thought of you still brings me so much feeling
You filled my heart with smoke
I had nowhere to go
A little high today but so low tomorrow
Electric blanket kept me warm for a moment
But it couldn't last if it never began
You are magnetic, my compass will not point anywhere else
Maybe when I walk far enough away
I will find north again
You filled my heart with smoke
I had nowhere to go
A little high today but so low tomorrow
Blue eyes
Turned down at the corners
I tried to make you smile but it only made me cry
I have no right to be this unhappy
Especially since you told me this would happen
And I know that I need to do some healing
But the thought of you still brings me so much feeling
You are magnetic, my compass will not point anywhere else
Maybe when I walk far enough away
I will find north again
