Lucy

I don’t like being inside
Like the mannequin behind those eyes
I stand at the gas pump
You say that I want some
You bury me for a smile
Showing kindness is a suicide
I’m armed with my body
You think you can have me?
You better wear a longer skirt
Don’t look him in the eye
Do the button on your shirt
Don’t look him in the eye
Or he’ll say
You commit a crime Lucy
The tears in your eyes are juicy
I won’t let you, I won’t let you go
I won’t let you, I won’t let you go
You commit a crime Lucy
The value on what I know
All depends if I put on a show
I am more than skin
I am more than adrenaline
Did I say you could call me baby?
Did I say you could call me baby?

Mad Girl
03:29
|

|
The city’s turning blue
Last night will soon fall out of darkness
She’s got a grip on me
This scene will soon turn into violence
Not living for today
She’s coming for yesterday
And everything you think you love
Don’t call my fears insane
She’s wrapped me up in cellophane
I guess she loves to suffocate me
Keep it to yourself
No one fucks me like myself
She’s a mad girl
Keep it to yourself
No one fucks me like myself
She’s a mad girl
I’m a mad girl
The city’s turning blue
Her flames are burning through the harness
She turns her doubt on you
My better judgement put on silent
Hello it’s me your walking nightmare
You won’t be free of me no
Hello it’s me I’m going nowhere
You won’t be free of me
I’m a mad girl

Power Play
03:00
|

|
When I’m acting like I don't care
It’s cos you said I’m too much
When I’m making friends without you
You say you miss me so much
On and on and on and on it goes
I’m a stand-in acting in your horror show
Tell me if it’s automatic the way you lose control
How can I be telepathic and save you from it all
Listen to the hearts you break
They’re screaming it’s a power play
Tell me if it’s automatic the way you lose control
The way you lose control
You keep my therapist in business
She says I should just cut you out
You play the angel with a stranger
And I get the worst of you
On and on and on and on it goes
I’m a stand-in acting in your horror show
Tell me if it’s automatic the way you lose control
How can I be telepathic and save you from it all
Listen to the hearts you break
They’re screaming it’s a power play
Tell me if it’s automatic the way you lose control
The way you lose control
So listen to the hearts you break
They’re screaming it’s a power play
And I get the worst of you

Screw Over You
02:54
|
|||
|
2am my head hits the pillow once again
And I hear some footsteps coming in
Voices from below let me know you’re not alone
It’s time for me to start another show
And I will pretend that I only want a friend
Cos it makes it easier, easier for me to cut the thread
I make it so complicated
So now you have a girl that won’t screw over you
I know I’m to blame
When you smile with her name
Cos I’m scared to give you everything
Bruising every vein
When I say that I’m ok
It’s time for me to love another way
And I will pretend that I only want a friend
Cos it makes it easier, easier for me to cut the thread
I make it so complicated
So now you have a girl that won’t screw over you
Don’t think I could lose again
Safer if I sabotage
Got too close I’m to blame
I shut it down cos I don’t deserve you

Too Many Times
03:06
|
|||
|
Burnt, like I kissed the sun I miss the fun
A pill to swallow
It’s hard to swallow
Thrown my hope on the line
Life kicks me aside
Until I’m hollow
It’s hard to swallow
Why do I wake up?
Just give me the bottle
I’ll drink myself into sleep
I’ll drink myself into sleep
Too many times I didn’t love myself
Too many times I didn't feel my body
Too many times I didn’t love myself
Too many times I didn't feel my body
Some nights I fail the test
Cry black into red
I know what follows
It always follows
Palpitate, electrify
Lungs burn on overdrive
The air is shallow
The air is shallow
Why do I wake up?
Just give me the bottle
I’ll drink myself into sleep
I’ll drink myself into sleep
Too many times I didn’t love myself
Too many times I didn't feel my body
Too many times I didn’t love myself
Too many times I didn't feel my body
Palpitate, electrify
Lungs burn on overdrive
The air is shallow

I'm Not Scared to Die
03:47
|
|||
|
Give me to the fire
Sacrifice the sanity you know
Cos I’ve never been the wisest when it comes to love
Give into the riots
Be the flame that burns me to the ground
Cos I’m hungry just to feel you when you steal my blood
Choke me, lead me, I will behave
Taste the medicine and I’ll obey
Nerves surrender so don’t leave me behind
Cos I’m not scared to die
I’m not scared to die
I’m not scared to die
Set me off in church
Hedonism serves to feed the sin
But I’ve never been the kindest to this tired heart
I crucified the fear
Lay to rest and paralyze all doubt
You've always known there’s darkness in the quiet ones
So choke me, lead me, I will behave
Taste the medicine and I’ll obey
Nerves surrender so don’t leave me behind
Cos I’m not scared to die
I’m not scared to die
I’m not scared to live in the dark and be loved
Won’t you save me from this?

Love, Love
03:17
|
|||
|
Should I get up and leave?
Cos I’ve been running, running for long
You’re holding out for me
But I don't know if I can be what you want
Now my heart is no machine
For me to wipe out all the fear
Of fucking up what we are doing
Cos I’ve been round here before
It’s hard to reconstruct my thoughts
And just give in to what you say is real
You want me to love, love you honestly
But I don’t seem to know who I wanna be
With the heat high, under this floodlight
Infatuation creeps
It accelerates and suddenly it slows
You say you think like me
But is that a fire in you I see glow?
Now my heart is no machine
For me to wipe out all the fear
Of fucking up what we are doing
Something tells me you want more
I’ve over analyzed before
Til my blood begins to break my skin
I know that we don’t need to say no more
But I’m going crazy not knowing what we are
The weight of a choice
I think I should know if you are the one I’m needing

Skylight
03:34
|
|||
|
Climbing up to the darkness
1-2-3 sleep
No one told you there’d be nothing after this
Devils wait on the skylight
1-2-3 scream
No one told me nightmares live outside a dream
I’d make the phone ring if I could
I’d cushion up the ground just to save you
I’d cut my voice out to have you back now
Crawling beneath the skylight
Why we gotta lose to realize?
We had it all until real life
Blew the fire on us
Crawling beneath the skylight
Why I gotta lose to realize?
I needed you to stay alive
Under the skylight
Under the skylight
Counting tiles on the ceiling
Remember to breathe
People on fast forward whilst I’m on repeat
Machine. Wires.
I’ll keep on singing till you hear the song
I’d make the phone ring if I could
I’d cushion up the ground just to save you
I’d cut my voice out to have you back now
Crawling beneath the skylight
Why we gotta lose to realize?
We had it all until real life
Blew the fire on us
Crawling beneath the skylight
Why I gotta lose to realize?
I needed you to stay alive
Under the skylight
Under the skylight
Machine. Wires.

Killing My Mind
03:36
|
|||
|
I’m not your girlfriend no more
Had to read between your loaded silence
I was the last to know you wrote me out the final episode
Did I mean less than I thought?
Crashed my car when I was trying to save you
You make me hate me when I think I sacrificed my heart for it all
Did I get it wrong?
Dropped me spat me out like poison on your tongue
I guess I never felt the knife in my side oh
One minute, one minute you’re here
I’m killing my mind to be free
And forgiving that you left so easily
I’m killing my mind, I’m killing my mind
I’m not your girlfriend no more
Would it hurt for you to stop the bleeding
I won’t medicate myself to smoke out the reason or blame
Why are you so scared to talk?
Thought I meant more than a one word message
I’ve been burnt too many times to keep holding my hand in the flame
So it’s time to move on
Dropped me spat me out like poison on your tongue
I guess I never felt the knife in my side oh
One minute, one minute you’re here
I’m killing my mind to be free
And forgiving that you left so easily
I’m killing my mind, I’m killing my mind

Body Says
03:22

|
It’s nice to meet you I didn’t catch you name
Yes I am single but what a thing to say
Words crawl on my skin, they’re creeping
Your halo’s made of sin and bleeding
Some boys will never learn how they should behave no
Don’t blame your biology
Don’t blame the science
I don’t give a damn what your body says, body says
I don’t give a damn (I don’t give a damn)
I don’t give a damn what your body says, body says
I don’t give a damn (what your body says)
It’s my body, body, my body (what your body says)
It’s my body, body, my body (what your body says)
I don’t give a damn what your body says, body says
I don’t give a damn (what your body says)
Your filthy ego could make a young girl break
You won’t dissolve me, you can’t control what I say no
Take your hands off me
You're dreaming I’m not your property, I’m leaving
This bad behavior I shouldn't tolerate no
Don’t blame your anatomy
Don’t blame the science
I don’t give a damn what your body says, body says
I don’t give a damn (I don’t give a damn)
I don’t give a damn what your body says, body says
I don’t give a damn (what your body says)
It’s my body, body, my body (what your body says)
It’s my body, body, my body (what your body says)
I don’t give a damn what your body says, body says
I don’t give a damn (what your body says)

Strangers
03:45
|

|
Come to me, answers not questions
I’m losing the grip on every second that we had it all
Now a year has been and gone there’s still a shadow in our home
Hold the dream, yes I know you’re trying
You mess up, we talk you say you’ll change for me once more
But the change is yours to trust oh it’ll never be enough
I don’t wanna be heavy with your love
Now we’ve fallen into the night
Floating side by side
Wondering how the fuck do we hold on
Were we strangers all along?
Are we losing a falling fight or building something right?
It’s hard cos we seem to always come undone
Were we strangers all along?
Look at me, see I’m not a weapon
I only wanna understand how we fuel everyone
When we see it burning up should we stay or should we run?
I don’t wanna be heavy with your love
Now we’ve fallen into the night
Floating side by side
Wondering how the fuck do we hold on?
Were we strangers all along?
Are we losing a falling fight or building something right?
It’s hard cos we seem to always come undone
Were we strangers all along?
I don’t wanna be heavy with your love

Never Be Wrong
03:05
|

|
You’ll try to deny
Your behaviour, where’s the saviour?
Look into the light
So listen to the way you swore
Listen to the pain you dug right up
I know you like rules and laws
And you can never be wrong
You can never be, never be wrong
Never be, never be wrong
Never be, never be wrong
Never be, never be wrong
So listen to the way you swore
Listen to the pain you dug right up
I know you like rules and laws
And you can never be wrong
You can never be, never be wrong
Never be, never be wrong
Never be, never be wrong
Never be, never be wrong
