Gone with the Wind Fucked Me Up for Life 03:16
lyrics
buy track
When I was nine, I had boys on the brain Dreaming about a love that would wreck me like a hurricane And I’d be a lady who couldn’t be tamed As I listened to the hi-fi and turned the page All good things must come in disguise Says he doesn’t like me, but I see through his lies For the next few years I would ruin his life Cause love is wild, the poets write, and so am I It hurt all the time, oh yeah But there were no lines back then Cutting my mind in two All of the highs weren’t so… When I was nine, I would sing all the parts But the best were the ones who died of broken hearts The kind of girls who would forget to be smart And pin it all on a pair of crossed stars It hurt all the time, oh yeah But there were no lines back then Cutting my mind in two All of the highs weren’t so… But one day I chose to be safe Forget those storms I always chased And I guess it seemed kind of brave But there were things that I erased When everyone else falls in love They show their scars, lower their guard But I left it on the schoolyard Where I loved four times too hard It hurt all the time, oh yeah But there were no lines back then Cutting my mind in two All of the highs weren’t so out of sight

I WANT THE TRUTH, wanna get there quick Wanna read the last page of the manuscript Ah – ooh That’d be something to do I’m cursed with a restlessness Held a candle for Odysseus Ah – ooh I can’t wait any longer for you They can’t catch up to me I extinguish it instantly Interdimensional gangster Locking up my doppelganger Yeah Better course correct Better save my neck Found a key in a dresser drawer This house is hiding something more Ah – ooh I had a dream that I flew Leftover teenage deathwish Searching all the time is selfish Ooh You gotta get used to this view I know I made a choice To always use my INSIDE VOICE They would chase me throughout time I’m terrified I’ll lose my mind Yeah Better watch for traps Better take a map Baby you’re in dAnger Even if you did it right Yeah you Cloaked yourself in darkness But you suffOcate your light And if you can’t remember How the doorway looKs at night Then maybe you’re not ready To accept the truer sight (ah— ooh) A martyr in the streets A corpse between the sheets I Don’t wANna be a skeptic Read to me Your myths and epics Ooh One day I’m gonna step through I don’t wanna be a skeptic Read to me your myths and epics Ooh One day I’m gonna step through I don’t wanna be a skeptic Read to me your myths and epics Ooh One day I’m gonna step through

The Maze 06:00
lyrics
buy track
Beyond this, I know it seems like too much pain But trust in how a heart is made It’s in your blueprint, in your name Just when you think it will swallow you whole That it’s too great, you’ll have to fold New rooms unlock inside your soul Leave the loop, walk the maze Leave the loop, walk the maze If you think that you can stand alone And learn all that there is to know I will grant you blood and bone Yeah, it’s sad to see it all dissolve They’re not mistakes you have to solve They’re what you needed to evolve Leave the loop, walk the maze Leave the loop, walk the maze Happiness is not a lie Marching on is suicide Pain paves the path to be alive Now, there will be memories you can’t outrun The past is like a tattoo gun But baby, you’re the chosen one How can I say I’m sorry I’m not the girl you married Yeah, I’m awake With nothing there to guide me Except the voice inside me Yeah, I’m awake If I’m headed for a fall At least I’ll say I felt it all I’m not breaking down, I’m waking up How’d I get in the wrong story Ever after purgatory Yeah, I’m awake Oh god did I imagine Past lives so full of passion Yeah, I’m awake Everything I’ve tried to find Has always been here, in my mind I’m not breaking down, I’m waking up Leave the loop, walk the maze Leave the loop, walk the maze You thought you split, but you were always two Attached with paperclips and glue Think of all that you can do

Savage Planet 02:59
lyrics

When you touch down, do your worst I wanna see how much it hurts To feel it all I’ve watched the earth from this spot I’ve seen the stars, but now I want The multiverse Have I been a lonely planet, hanging here in space? Cause something changed when I saw your face You, she isn’t right for you She isn’t right for you The atmosphere is fine But it can’t get you high like mine You, she isn’t right for you Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Love is a comet passing by Drawing ellipses in the sky A visitor Thought I would orbit on my own Now I just wanna be your home Crash land on me Searching in those eyes, they hold a galaxy Will you settle me or will you wreck me? You, she isn’t right for you She isn’t right for you Got these savage summer storms Just means that I can handle yours You, she isn’t right for you Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh This is how it sounds When it comes back around Even if I don’t get picked I’d never regret this Then, in a dream My fingers graze a seam… Oh I’ve been here before Footprints on the ocean floor Oh I’ve been here before Footprints on the ocean floor You, let me be right for you Let me be right for you Come out in the acid rain And we can dance away the pain You, let me be right for you Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Let me be right for you (Let me be right for you) Let me be right for you (Let me be right for you) Let me be right for you (Let me be right for you) Let me be right for you

Bury Me Here 04:09
lyrics

Clouds are glowing with heat lightning All around the Chrysler building tonight And something pulls me Cross the bridge into the city Do I think you’ll fix me? We’re just talking dirty So how could you know I’m midway on a journey Were you sent To stop my tracks and make me forget You can bury me here (woah) Maybe all our friends won’t go And I’ll write you a song, cause shit We’ll need to dance once the apocalypse hits What a time to be alive! (woah) What a time to be alive! (woah) I can do what I wanna do I can meet someone like you Heart is racing like a rabbit’s Cause I haven’t had this for so long It’s a mystery Why I trust you implicitly I don’t think you’d hurt me Least not very badly Maybe I’m dumb Even if you and I quit Pumping blood I’d stick around for that deathless love You can bury me here (woah) Maybe all our friends won’t go And I’ll write you a song, cause shit We’ll need to dance once the apocalypse hits What a time to be alive! (woah) What a time to be alive! (woah) You wanna take care of me? Gimme love in hyperbole What a time to be alive! (woah) What a time to be alive! (woah) Got a new steady state Full heart without the weight But you are not mine You’re just sunlight on the river And I am not yours I’m the way skyscrapers glitter Isn’t this better than together in the dark? We’re home, a stone’s throw And brilliant on our own (oh) You can bury me here (woah) Maybe all our friends won’t go And I’ll write you a song, cause shit We’ll need to dance once the apocalypse hits What a time to be alive! (woah) What a time to be alive! (woah) From the sky to the cement None of this is permanent From the sky to the cement None of this is permanent From the sky to the cement None of this is permanent

Transference 03:47

It was there when we had our last kiss He said our story was bigger than this I didn’t lie when I said we were friends But I wanna skip pages to see how it ends So I take that pain Stick it in a different vein New faces, the same shades Hanging in the astral plane It was there, stopped at a red light With a new guy saying everything right But I was still fighting poltergeists And making wishes on satellites I don’t play games That’s always what I say But don’t you wanna take that pain And stick it in a different vein When you’re thinking of her And she’s thinking of him It’s there in your house Rearranging your things When you stare down that cursed apparition Baby gimme that sweet exorcism One day you’ll get what I used to tell you We have all got ghosts passing through And it’s there when I crawl out of bed Try to run but I can’t move my legs Let him sleep as I scroll through my phone Cause I can’t spend the evening alone But he owes nothing to me Can’t give him the things that he needs I’ll hurt him in a thousand ways I wonder if I can change When you’re thinking of her And she’s thinking of him It’s there in your house Rearranging your things When you stare down that cursed apparition Baby gimme that sweet exorcism One day you’ll get what I used to tell you We have all got ghosts passing through Haunt me Feed me, feed me all your memories Are you lonely? Who do you see in the room with me? Can you call it cruel When it’s something we all do Histories and sins The things we work out, skin to skin Transference Transference Can you feel that, can you feel that Can you feel that chill? They have got some unfinished business with me still When you’re thinking of her And she’s thinking of him It’s there in your house Rearranging your things When you stare down that cursed apparition Baby gimme that sweet exorcism One day you’ll get what I used to tell you We have all got ghosts passing through I’d love to love you, but I can’t stay I am just a ghost whispering away I can’t quiet, I’ll die if I do I am just a ghost passing through

Triple Hex 04:40

It’s an isosceles We keep pushing boundaries I’m watching this hot scene On a movie screen Love potion number nine Will bring the beast out every time I wrote this storyline My valentine Her face is full of theater Thirty five millimeter Revolution and obsession Nineteen sixty seven I love to see you shudder, oh oh In lurid Technicolor And it feels better than coming, oh oh Power summoned from nothing And I’m giving it off, off, off Giving it off, off, off I’ll cast a hex, hex, hex You can’t reje-e-ect A little death, my staggered breath Oh yeah, oh yeah Lest I be Damocles You should lead me on my knees Toward some knot, some trinity It’s what I need And on the longest night We should have a sacrifice You wanna hold the knife? I thought you might Oh she’s the girl for me My retro fantasy And when you’re twice the trouble You’ll see my magic double I love to see you shudder, oh oh In lurid Technicolor I swear it’s better than coming, oh oh You wanna join my coven? Cause I’m giving it off, off, off Giving it off, off, off I’ll cast a hex, hex, hex You can’t reje-e-ect A little death, my staggered breath Oh yeah, oh yeah Now I know lust and pain No I’m not the same Three of cups, eight of swords They’ve had their rewards I’m the ghost in your head In and out of bed Three of cups, eight of swords Ask your Ouija board Cause I’m giving it off, off, off Giving it off, off, off I’ll cast a hex, hex, hex You can’t reje-e-ect A little death, my staggered breath Oh yeah, oh yeah And I’m giving it off, off, off Giving it off, off, off I’ll cast a hex, hex, hex You can’t reje-e-ect A little death, my staggered breath Oh yeah, oh yeah

Super Human 04:31

Maybe it’s good to give in Good to let them under your skin Cause that is where your power lives When you become super human Boys who gaze into your eyes Boys who see through your disguise You got the strength now to take that ride Teach those earthlings how to fly Go on go on go on let yourself feel it Cause you don’t you don’t you don’t you don’t need it All mere mortals getting higher Standing next to your righteous fire When you bat those x-ray eyes You stun em and electrify You are not a conduit You are a complete circuit Baby you fell from a star Don’t go masking who you are And all those feelings you try to fight They will never be your Kryptonite When they love you, breathe it in It’s easier than oxygen And if they try to pin you down You can leap em in a single bound Go on go on go on let yourself feel it Cause you don’t you don’t you don’t you don’t need it In those hot pants and high heeled boots You’ll compel em to tell the truth And when you let out that sonic scream You’re the creature of their dreams You are not a conduit You are a complete circuit Now, I know what it’s all about To be full of doubt Like, maybe I should hold my tongue Try to keep it fun All while manipulating space and time Just to make him mine When I could be fighting crime Go on go on go on let yourself feel it Cause you don’t you don’t you don’t you don’t need it, oh! -Oh, Haley… Yes, Jaynie? -How do you call your fuckboy? Come here, fuckboy! -And if he doesn’t answer? Oh, fuckboy… -And if he still doesn’t answer? I simply say: Feel it, I don’t need it (woah-oh-oh) Go on, feel it- you don’t need it! (woah-oh-oh) Aw baby, (woah-oh-oh) My sweet baby (woah-oh-oh) Love is strange (woah-oh-oh) Love is strange! (woah-oh-oh) Go on go on go on let yourself feel it Cause you don’t you don’t you don’t you don’t need it Only brave ones will survive Cause you’ve got lasers between your thighs And your disciples will beg and ache For that magnetic embrace You are not a conduit You are a complete circuit Where they falter, you transcend Your heart will break, your heart will mend And healing factor will fix the skin When you become super human

The Cyclone 03:55
lyrics

Those weren’t love songs Those were eulogies For lost realities But this will never be There’s no ruby slippers In a bodice ripper And that’s the love we need: Glitter at our feet Wishes come true. You’ll fly away You’re inches from that far-off place I’ll pick my skirts up off the stairs Let the wind whip my hair I got a kingdom at my command And tomorrow, tomorrowland Here comes the cyclone Here comes the cyclone Let’s let the cyclone take us home Have I learned the lesson? Satisfied my mission? I know there’s no perfect endings Only edges, landings But I’m getting restless Will it be as I left it? There’s the doorway and I’ve grown to large to exit Here comes the cyclone Here comes the cyclone Let’s let the cyclone take us home Is it that kind of story Or is that too boring Girl finds out that she’s strong It was inside her all along No it’s the kind of story A bitter allegory With human sacrifice Our hero pays the price Each time you go, you’ll come back changed Until one day you’ll just stay Did I abandon my entire life To try and fail to find some Truer Sight? A journey where I end up alone And I’ll never get back home Here comes the cyclone Here comes the cyclone You have reached the end of Cycle One.

Believers 04:21
lyrics

In darkness Hiss The VHS A pink-blue glow A voice sotto Mysterious The things I wanted all along Who left it on? In bloom The moon My living room I catch a flash Of future past It purrs to me The universe, and what’s beyond And says “come on” Cause oh, Penelope will wait There are monsters in the sea Sirens in the galaxies And oh, love can make you great I saw you through the door The clue I’d search the cosmos for To always seek And never sleep To wonder where the map could lead To fire-walk To watch for synchronicity And to believe Exalt And fight And sacrifice The Altar of the Truer Sight Is far away And that’s where it will stay You wanna play? Cause oh, no one plays like us And when we collide Our light could make em all go blind Oh, let’s do it all again I sent you messages and keys Now let’s have our odyssey Our faces change From frame to frame You’re melting wax I’m tesseracts At times it seems as though I’m chasing my own tail But if we fail… In madness Blessed And underslept Our eyes so wide and wet An overture Is swelling just behind these walls Do not sleep on this You could pilot this ship If you’re a believer You’re the baddest bitch We can pilot this ship Cause I’m a believer
