hunger
it drives my mind
when will I arrive
with all that holds
towering above me
so I can finally sleep
I lie in the shadow of no
I lie in the shadow of none
I lie in the shadow of no
I lie in the shadow of no one
almost feels like something I used to feel

Swallow Me Whole
03:33

act for the hidden cameras
close your blinds at night so you can’t see the stars
think of me fondly
when you think of me
I hope you don’t see what I see
maybe one day I’ll be thin and pretty
and the wrong people will like me
vanity is a terminal disease
and I’m wasting all my time
I'm wasting all my time
wasting all my time
I’m wasting all my time
wasting all my time
I’m wasting all my time
wasting all my time
I’m wasting all my time
and it’s funny
no one can hurt me
I walk the straight line
and I close my eyes
and it’s so funny
no one can hurt me
when you look at me
I hope you don’t see what I see
I’m wasting all my time
I’m wasting all my time
wasting all my time
I’m wasting all my time
wasting all my time
I’m wasting all my time
wasting all my time
I’m wasting all my time

I feel I’m at a crossroads of who I'll be
and what I’ll chose will be one-way street
in my dreams I see a labyrinth
the dark disgusts me
the sun feels alien
but I am scared that if I don’t get up now
I’ll never get up again
time is running fast
I grip it turns to mud
sticking on my hands
it sticks to me like blood
it sticks to me like blood
overdose of love and care
can’t feel a thing anywhere
unlearn a lifelong routine in a day
you can’t love away the pain
the drain is clogged again
this time I use my hands
eye drops drown the vessels popped
teardrops flow I make them stop
time is running fast
I grip, it turns to mud
sticking on my hands
it sticks to me like blood
it sticks to me like blood
it sticks to me like blood
it sticks to me like blood

I'm On Your Side
03:36
|

I don’t know what you want from me
there’s nothing I could give to you
that you couldn’t get from anybody else
and there’s nothing you could do to me
that I haven’t done to myself
they said I have a heart of stone
but it’s enclosed by eggshells
and helpless like a beached whale
a killer on dry rocks
making sounds I couldn’t comprehend
and finally knew what you meant
when you said
I’m on your side
I’m on your side
I’m on your side
can’t you see that I’m on your side
why don’t you come and get me
I’m right here
why don’t you come and get me
I’m right here
wrap yourself around me
I’m right here
wrap yourself around me
I’m right here
I’m right here

Apart

winter is over
winter is over
all of us apart
all of us apart
border disorder
border disorder
all of us apart
all of us apart

Nest
02:37
|

|
eat your admiration for my shoulders
strong enough to carry the yoke
while I’m looking for a place to
put it down
where can I put it
where can I put it
where can I put it
where can I put it
as long as they keep digging him up
I will keep burying him
until he turns to dust or
they lock me away
this ends here with me
this ends here with me
the nest is empty
the nest is empty

Wishbone
02:56
|
|||
|
the snot runs down your face
as you’re looking for a tissue in your bag
and as I watch you pull yourself together
I know I’ve never loved
anyone like that
to me you are the moon
I feel like just another light in your room
still I would give up my life
for a simple chance
to light up your eyes
I feel something inside me is broken
but I can’t let you fix it
let you touch me like that
your holy hands don’t hold any power
in a mobile home
in the trailer park of my heart
so I take my medication
and sleep alone at night
and ignore this feeling
that makes my stomach tight
I break a wishbone
wait around for the tide
to wash off my shame
and clean up my mind

Have It Now
02:06
|
|||
|
doesn’t matter if I stay
a few more years, another day
cause in my dreams I run
in my dreams all the pain is gone
you can have it now
I think
I finally changed
I’m not afraid
to give it my all
please take it now
my gift to you
unzip my body
undo the thread
I’ll fall asleep whole
won’t wake up in pieces
you can have it now
I think
I finally changed
I’m not afraid
to give it my all

Drowned World

|
oh, Christina
I promise I’ll remember
together we’re crawling through the mud
oh, Christina
I hope you can see me for what I am and stay
I promise I’ll try not to push you away
won’t let them trespass
and sell us for parts
cause this is our world

I Lose
02:40
|
|||
|
it gets easier with time
the more I try, the more I get it right
I lose more of myself each day
arms wide open, I give it all away
let it wash over me
let it wash over me
take me anywhere you please
I know I’ll still be
I know I’ll still be
I know I’ll still be
I know I’ll still be
let it wash over me
let it wash over me
let it wash over me
let it wash over me
