When it all goes black,
time is stolen, from a place that I gave no permission
on my way back up again, bloodshot eyes betray my face
But it keeps on, might not make it this time funny feeling
got to leave the fire behind me, will I make it this time?
Never let on, hurling forwards and I’m aching but smiling,
that poor horse that I got back on again, will I make I this time?
But it keeps on, might not make it this time funny feeling, got to leave the fire behind me will I make it this time?
And I’m rolling on
Flat tyres are turning but I’m running late again

No Help
04:02
|
|||
Open the window, but lock the door, no sailing ship, could save my soul
It’s getting better, I can go it alone, not the way I was shown, but I can go it alone, just watch me go
No ringing phone, no magic wand, tie up my laces and walk out the door
I’m getting better, I can go it alone, not the way I was told, but I can go it alone, just watch me go
You say you help me, but I don’t think you do

Treehouse
03:11
|
|||
The treehouse is empty floorboards cold and wet,
it’s rotten and old now where time has gone and left
give me your hand, I’ll pull you up, each and every time, each and every time
The tree is gone
I’ll tell you a secret, that I could never keep, that I should never keep, promise me, cross my heart and hope to die
Kiss all the boys, so she won’t cry, but she always cries, oh she always cries
I’ll give you my hand, and pull you up, each and every time

Warrior Song
02:46
|

She strolled in late, her hair was a mess, she didn’t say sorry, I knew we’d be friends
She said yeah I did, yeah I do, I’m not ashamed. No I’m not ashamed
She’s a warrior, she’s my best friend
She said hold my baby, no thanks lady, I already made three and this stuff bores me
She said dear there’s drama, but we’ll fix this,
She said yeah he broke me BUT I’VE GOT SOME GLUE

Give Up
03:17
|
|

Fell much deeper than I meant to go,
but I got out of it, so why now fall?
Fell much deeper than I meant to grow,
but now you’re back here to steal the show
I’m falling deeper when I once flew,
you creep towards me, I crawl from you
Sock it to me I never give up
Bring it in and let it grow,
I know you’re lurking, I taste the salt
Bring it in and let it go,
but I’m not back here to play with you
Bring it in and let it go,
and while you’re watching I spit the salt
So if I’m falling, and you come back
To give it to me I’ll never give up
And if you’re falling and I’m not back
I won’t feed you
Sock it to me, I never give up

Cold Beans
03:12

Cold beans, dripping over me, cold beans I’ll wash this all clean
Cold beans, dripping over me, cold beans, he swears he loves me
He told her it would be so different, it wouldn’t be like this
Stay quiet, Shut the door please
you made me do this, it's cause I love you
We hit the ground running, they didn’t understand,
Said that he was trouble I don’t know what you mean
I wish that I could ask them, but it's done now
She flew at him, she tried to be strong
Your cold beans, you can keep them
It's the last time.
She hit the ground running
She said he’ll be the death of me

How to leave
03:15
|
|||
I swim in murky water, it’s no longer where I belong, too greasy to climb out, so I slide deeper down,
Can’t you throw me a rope now so I can start to breathe, slime between my toes, I rub my eyes closed
And just you wait and see,
I’m getting out of here
and just you wait and see,
cause I know how to leave
And the big rat was a gift I was happy to receive, it was just for me
I swim in murky waters but I see blue skies from here
Too cold to stay down, I heave myself out

Shy
01:36
|
|||
Well you know me, I’ve got so much to say, but when it comes around, well it all goes away
Well you know me, I am so shy, but when you ask me, you just say why?

Sunbathe
06:07
|
|||
I feel like I hear something, someone calling my name, and now I can feel the heat, from a place far away, sounds run through my veins, how I held them tight, sounds that kept me safe, that warm and sweaty night
I have never sunbathed, but I let myself get burned,
I have never sunbathed, but I did when it counted
Other voices call me, call me from concrete steps, how we sat there for hours, promise to never forget
Other voices call me, from a time been and went, how I sat there for hours, promise to never forget.
