Natural Feelings 04:58
lyrics
buy track
What you love is the definition of what you fear, what you fear, what you fear What you love is the definition of what you fear, what you fear, what you fear What you want, everything you can't see, everything you can't be, everything you don't need What you want, everything you've got until you've got me, then everything I'm not, oh no I can't blame you, you can't blame me, these are natural feelings A definition isn't what we need, but definition is what we seek My blood is beating my heart What I love, what will never be enough, going up, going up, going up What I love, what will never be enough, going up, going up, going up What I want, everything I can't see, everything I can't be, everything I don't need What I want, everything I've caught and no longer free, and that's where it stops I can't blame you, you can't blame me, these are natural feelings A definition doesn't set me free, in a cage looking for the key My blood is beating my heart My blood is beating my heart My blood is beating my heart My blood is beating my heart I'll keep looking for another Question with no answer I'll keep looking for another You'll keep looking for another Answer when there's no answer Is there love without a lover What you love, reach your arms out, grab what's near

Shiver in the Sun 03:40

Shiver in the sun 'cause there's no other I wanted to know, I wanted to know Where will I go I could waste away so slowly you wouldn't see I wanted to know, I wanted to know Where will I go This high velocity curiosity I wanted to know, I wanted to know What if I let go I wanted to know, I wanted to know What if I let go I wanted to know, I wanted to know Is there nothing left of these promises I swore to you I'd never give in But dreams are so much easier to live in Clouds creating shadows in my moods I wanted to know, I wanted to know Where do we go If nothing ever gets where it's going to I wanted to know, I wanted to know Why I can't move slow This high velocity curiosity I already know, I already know No I can't move slow I already know, I already know No I can't move slow I already know, I already know There is nothing left of these promises I swore to you I'd never give in Dreams are so much easier to live in Permanence is permeating silence I wanted to know, I wanted to know Where will we go The best I ever had was free and giving, oh I wanted to know, I wanted to know If I could call it my own I wanted to know, I wanted to know If I could call it my own I wanted to know, I wanted to know If I could call you Shiver in the sun Shiver in the sun Shiver in the sun Shiver in the sun

Persephone 04:39
lyrics

Now that I'm all better Now that I'm not who I used to be Now that I'm a little older I can wake up from nightmares I'm in the calm blue water This is not the life of my dreams One foot in the underworld like Persephone But the sun is shining on me, yeah Now that I've started over I know endings aren't beautiful, they're messy Now that I've sailed along the Acheron I can live through a nightmare I'm in the calm blue water This is not the life of my dreams One foot in the underworld like Persephone But the sun is shining on me, oh, oh, oh I'm in the calm blue water This is not the life of my dreams One foot in the underworld like Persephone But the sun is shining on me Yeah the sun is shining on me Maybe my edges are softer The waves have polished these rocks Oh I guess that makes me a fire What I wanted to be, I wanted to be I wanted to be I want it to be

I want to tear the tower down Get reacquainted with the ground On the edge of a beautiful view Where's it going to lead you, oh What's right is always close inside That little voice that cannot lie And the truth won't sleep, it'll haunt your dreams When you know, you've got to let go, oh

Hostage 04:42

Is this love I'm a hostage of Memories hold the weight of the future Close my eyes so I can bring you closer Fantasies lift me out Of the weather Falling in love like falling asleep With eyes wide open inside the dream This pain is alive and it brings you closer Here I'm going through the motions Killing time I'm fine, fucked up and fine at the same time Calm in the flames You're mine and not mine at the same time And nothing has changed Wandering around, you're a ghost in my head In crowded rooms, all alone in my bed If this is love that I'm a hostage of Come on and open up the door for me Come on, open up the door for me Come on, open up the door for me I'm fine, fucked up and fine at the same time Calm in the flames You're mine and not mine at the same time And nothing has changed, oh Open up the door for me Open up the door for me Open up the door for me Open up the door for me

One More Day 04:17

One more day then I'll think about jumping in with you One more day of this, toes in the swimming pool Oh look where'd the time go, suddenly older Time spent watching and now the water's cold It eats me up It eats me up, up, up, up inside One more day, what if I can't afford to Give up all I've got just to be close to you Can't you see these clothes on my back are dry And it's getting late, I think I'll just go back inside It eats me up It eats me up, up, up, up inside It eats me up, oh It eats me up, up, up, up inside One more day, waiting for the sun to rise And all of these days flash before my eyes Every snapshot, lens focused on wanting Oh, hoping just turned into haunting It eats me up It eats me up, up, up, up inside It eats me up, oh It eats me up, up, up, up inside It eats me up, oh, oh It eats me up, up, up, up inside

Black Water 04:14
lyrics

Loosen the string I'm too strong to let it go Feel the sting Burning hands grasp this rope I'm too proud to let you know Up in the atmosphere Get carried away But I'm too sure to float I'll steer it this way I'm too lost in the smoke Too bright in the black So I'll swim in the gray sky Swim in the gray sky Moving the tides just to try Always headed for hope I'm too far to let it go And I don't know if you'll find me here But I'll go there anyway I'm too lost in the smoke Too bright in the black So I'll swim in the gray sky Swim in the gray sky Moving the tides just to Try to move you It's dark again, the sun will rise But I don't know when Right now I just need a friend I'm too lost in the smoke Too bright in the dark So I'll sink in the water Extinguish in the water Past the horizon line A part of the tides Just to find something new It's dark again, the sun will rise But I don't know when Right now I just need an end

Come on move on in my direction Get your feet on the ground, get your feet on the ground Close the distance, all the pain's in the waiting Tell me what miracle are you waiting for Come on I think I know what you want Come on just stop looking at the ashes It's just a reaction Oh love I think you know what you want Oh love just stop looking for disaster It's just a distraction I want you to be so deep into me that you can't sleep I want to be what you need, maybe then I'll feel complete I want a love that hurts so deep that it sets me free I want to be what you need, let this fire consume me So serious, everything means everything Gets to be all too much, it's all too much Lighten up, it's all so important and it crowns you with a crutch It's all too much Come on I think I know what you want Come on just stop looking over the edge And jump in Oh love you think you know what you want But you'll never know until you're all in So just jump in I want you to be so deep into me that you can't sleep I want to be what you need, maybe then I'll feel complete I want a love that hurts so deep that it sets me free I want to be what you need, let this fire consume me Just a minute, just a minute, wait just a minute, wait just a minute, wait, ah, ah, oh, oh, ah, ah Wait just a minute, just a minute, wait just a minute, wait just a minute, oh, oh I want you to be so deep into me that you can't sleep I want to be what you need, maybe then I'll feel complete I want a love that hurts so deep that it sets me free I want to be what you need, let this fire consume me

Unravel 04:41

Both of us lose it all, lose it all We go, we domino Both of us unravel, unravel We know there's nothing we know Both of us take the fall, take the fall We float up to the stars Look at us, we're not so far apart at all Take the distance, could we make it ours Take the distance, could we make it ours I'm sorry for the worst of it A hundred reasons for the mess we're in I'm sorry for the worst of it And I'm sorry for the best When it goes, when it goes, when it goes Away Both of us lose it all, lose it all, lose it all, lose it all, lose it all Both of us unravel, unravel Unravel, unravel Look at us, we're not so far apart at all Take the distance, could we make it art Take the distance I'm sorry for the worst I've been Dreaming us clean in the ruins I'm sorry for the worst I've been And I'm sorry for the best When it goes, when it goes, when it goes Away

Precipice 03:52

Can I‌ be okay, barefoot in the dark Lost without a light, save for the one inside Can I move on, no matter how far Lay my dead selves to rest And the one that's left Let her heart open wide Let her heart open wide Can I‌ trust the sense of my heart That there's nothing I‌ need And there's nothing to lose Can I‌ find peace in falling apart Stumbling in the night Blending black and white My edges diffused My edges diffused Can I‌ melt into the question My body into air No in here or out there But still keep my sure footing One step, then another Even if I never know where It is I'm going I will be okay, lost alone in the dark I will be okay, lost alone in the dark I will be okay, lost alone in the dark
