Call It Off

She gave him
Tough love, tender violence
To save him
From a genuine lack of common sense
A Zen-like attack
Keep up the front, pretense
I'm well aware
No, I'm not sitting on the fence
For all your words
Make me out as a lunatic
Hell, I'm flattered chick
Bullseye, scissor kick
Please forgive me girls
I'm a heretic
But she's greasier than a oil slick
Watch and learn
She whispered at me
From across the room
She's catching
Catching attention
Tension then attacking
Everyone drawn into her trapping
Trapping
I'm left asking
'Have I just been played?'
My sister warned me
That's how this world's made
If that's the truth
I need an upgrade
Leave me to shade
Call off this masquerade
Call it off, call it off
Call it off, call it off
I love a disguise
But your tries are sticky
Lips red as a rose
But much more prickly
Once thicker than thieves
Like my Bobby and my Vicky
There's the mouse and there's Mickey
Quickly
Let's jump back to midweek hangs
To hangovers on a Wednesday
Sharpening our tongues and fangs
Stitch until we're empty
Attempt to keep it friendly
You can't handle me
Don't tempt me
Call it off
Call it off, call it off
Call it off
Call it off, call it off
She gave him
Tough love, tender violence
To save him
From a genuine lack of common sense
A Zen-like attack
Keep up the front, pretense
I'm well aware
No, I'm not sitting on the fence
For all your words
Make me out as a lunatic
Hell, I'm flattered chick
Bullseye, scissor kick
Please forgive me girls
I'm a heretic
But she's greasier than an oil slick
Watch and learn
She whispered at me
From across the room
She's catching
Catching attention
Tension then attacking
Everyone drawn into her trapping
Trapping
I'm left asking
'Have I just been played?'
My sister warned me
That's how this world's made
If that's the truth
I need an upgrade
Leave me to shade
Call off this masquerade
Call it off, call it off
You cant handle me don't tempt me
Call it off, call it off
You cant handle me don't tempt me
Call it off, call it off
You cant handle me don't tempt me
Call it off, call it off
You cant handle me don't tempt me

Hay Mirror

Hay mirror
Do you have time to straight talk?
It'll only take a minute
Maybe not even that long
I got a problem
Hot, sticky rumours whip me
My ears are fucking burning
And my head is twisting
Didn't I tell you
That I only wish good
For you and all your futures
I would do all I could
Are you not witness
That I always got your back
No, I'm not saying I'm a saint
So don't you paint me like that
Like that
Don't you paint me like that
Woah, I'm not angry
I'm just a sensitive head
And when I give my trust to someone
I don't expect to see red
But all your drinking
Maybe should be hanging that up
'cause right now every time you do it
You just wanna get fucked
Hay mirror
Daily we fight to make do
I'm not sorry we got closer
I was just loving you
I won't be silent
Because I didn't pretend
And while we're being straight up honest
I've a castle to defend
To defend
Don't you paint me like that
Hay mirror
Do you have time to straight talk?
It'll only take a minute
Maybe not even that long
I got a problem
Hot, sticky rumours whip me
My ears are fucking burning
And my head is twisting
Woah, I'm not angry
I'm just a sensitive head
And when I give my trust to someone
I don't expect to see red
But all your drinking
Maybe should be hanging that up
'cause right now every time you do it
You just wanna get fucked
Get fucked
'cause right now every time you do it
You just wanna get fucked

Ur Heart Izza Mountain
02:57
|
|||
Yes I know why the bird sings
While he stands on my rooftop
Why he looks so contented
Yes I know why the bird sings
Yes I know why the wolf howls
While he bathes in the moonlight
Why he sounds so enchanted
Yes I know why the wolf howls
For your heart is a mountain
That I climb to the top of
Then I just want to jump off
Oh your heart is a mountain
Yes I know why you're lonely
Why you're closed off and angry
Why you hurt and you're empty
Yes I know why you're lonely
For your heart is a mountain
That I climb to the top of
Then I just want to jump off
Oh your heart is a mountain
For your heart is a mountain
That I climb to the top of
Then I just want to jump off
Oh your heart is a mountain
Oh your heart is a mountain
Oh your heart is a mountain

Replaced By A Question
03:29
|
|||
Even your cold, cold heart
Doesn't comfort me now
But I'm falling in love with you
I'm falling in love
It's like alliance within division
When your house is on fire
Will they pray for wind?
Will they pray for wind?
Were we born just to get lost
Or just turn to stone
It's gone when it's gone
Nothing is simple
Can we make it alone?
We both know the answer's
Replaced by a question
Even your mysteries
Won't still my curiosity
I'm falling in love
The bridges I burnt rebuilt
This won't last forever
But that's alright with me
That's alright with me
Were we born just to get lost
Or just turn to stone
It's gone when it's gone
Nothing is simple
Can we make it alone?
We both know the answer's
Replaced by a question
We both know the answer's
Replaced by a question
We both know the answer's
Replaced by a question
Even your cold, cold heart
Doesn't comfort me now
Even your cold, cold heart
Doesn't comfort me now

Wheels
02:44
|
|||
Black eyes in a photograph
The sharp tongue of your better half
These are not the wheels I'm driving
These are not the wheels
Cold hands reconsider you
The strong one in the warmth of two
And these are not the deals I'm making
These are not the deals
But oh
It feels good to know you're there
When I come home
That you will be here waiting
For my return
And all our disbelief we will suspend
While you are still my oxygen
The welcome touch of the summer rain
Initials carved on an open chain
And this is all the world I live in
This is all the world
A promise voiced is a promise made
The heart lands in a warm embrace
And this is on the road I'm building
This is on the road
But oh
It feels good to know you're there
When I come home
That you will be here waiting
For my return
And all our disbelief we will suspend
While you are still my oxygen
Oh it feels good to know you're there
When I come home
That you will be here waiting
For my return
And all our disbelief we will suspend
While you are still my oxygen
While you are still my oxygen
While you are still my oxygen
Oh oh it feels good to know you're there
When I come home
It feels good to know you're there when I come

The Night's Alive
03:05
|
|||
You'll never know how much I love you
You don't accept it when I tell you
The night's alive
And you close your eyes and dream
And I close my hands in prayer
We came here to watch the sunset
On empty roads that all lead homeward
The night's alive
And you look at me and say
Are we gonna be ok this time?
All the angels wrap around you
But you don't feel what you can't hold
I'm doing all that I can
To be your shelter from the cold
You never know how much I love you
You don't accept it when I tell you
The night's alive
The night's alive
The night's alive
You'll never know how much I
The night's alive
And you close your eyes and dream
And I close my hands in prayer
We came here to watch the sunset
On empty roads that all lead homeward
The night's alive
And you look at me and say
Are we gonna be ok this time?
The night's alive
And you look at me and say
Are we gonna be ok this time?
The night's alive
And you look at me and say
Are we gonna be ok this time?
The night's alive
The night's alive
The night's alive
The night's alive

Liberty Bell
03:02
|
|||
Let's build ourselves a city
It's top in the heavens
Make a name for ourselves
We'll call it home
I promise
A dream to inspire
Sound the liberty bell
We're such a perfect one
We're such a perfect one
A tower of strength and love
A tower of strength and love
Let's build ourselves a city
It's top in the heavens
Make a name for ourselves
We'll call it home
I promise
A dream to inspire
Sound the liberty bell
Let's build ourselves a city
It's top in the heavens
Make a name for ourselves
We'll call it home
I promise
A dream to inspire
Sound the liberty bell
A tower of strength and love
A tower of strength and love
Let's build ourselves a city
It's top in the heavens
Make a name for ourselves
We'll call it home
I promise
A dream to inspire
Sound the liberty bell
Let's build ourselves a city
It's top in the heavens
Make a name for ourselves
We'll call it home
I promise
A dream to inspire
Sound the liberty bell
Bell, bell, bell, bell

Oil And Glue
02:53
|
|||
Watch the ice, watch the ice
Fix the scripture
Well it's cold but we both crack hot
It's been the best of all the summers
Or maybe all the rest I just forgot
But sir, the rain's been so incessant
We all been living in shade like ghosts
The burning man's been on vacation
And baby that's why I loved it most
You say
'You'll never own it'
'Let alone try to control it'
'It's a rumour'
'It's a self defense'
You know I'm fucking on it
I feel it in your spirit
Best we both try to stop making sense
Our days so full of questions
When in truth it's all a blessing
It's a mirror that we see straight through
I'll make you a promise
And you know I'm fucking honest
As much as you are oil and glue
Oil and glue
Chase the night, chase the night
It's religious
Change routines
Make a sign with a plus
It's been my floor, my altar, my ceiling
Are you catching all this gold dust?
You say
'You'll never own it'
'Let alone try to control it'
'It's a rumour'
'It's a self defense'
You know I'm fucking on it
I feel it in your spirit
Best we both try to stop making sense
Our days so full of questions
When in truth it's all a blessing
It's a mirror that we see straight through
I'll make you a promise
And you know I'm fucking honest
As much as you are oil and glue
Oil and glue
And she whispers
'Maybe, we're both being crazy'
'I won't leave you baby'
'I'm not the kind of girl to give up on you like that'
'Maybe, we're both being crazy'
'I won't leave you baby'
'I'm not the kind of girl to give up on you like that'
Maybe, we're both being crazy
I won't leave you baby'
I'm not the kind of girl to give up on you like that
Maybe, we're both being crazy
I won't leave you baby'
I'm not the kind of girl to give up on you like that

U Hold The Light On
02:17
|
|||
I am in rapture
Ur eyes they kill
Ur eyes they kill me
While silence echoes
We'll claim the sun
Climb on the sunset
We'll chase the future
The sky above
The sky above us
Our glass is sharper
The taste is sweet
The taste is sweeter
U hold the light on
The night inside me
U hold the light on
The night inside me
My fearless captain
Free all the broke
God bless the broken
I'll hold the mirror
Embrace the joke
Fuck ups and faithless
Fuck ups and faithless
U best believe
Love, hope and magick
Down in the shadows
Blood full of gold
Love, hope and magick
U hold the light on
The night inside me
U hold the light on
The night inside me
Some are the body
And some are the wing
Some are the castle
And some are the king
Some are the body
And some are the wing
Some are the castle
And some are the king
Ur eyes they kill
Ur eyes they kill me
We'll claim the sun
Climb on the sunset
We'll chase the future
The sky above
The sky above us
Our glass is sharper
The taste is sweet
The taste is sweeter
Sweet

The Key And The Cage
02:29
|
|||
All the lines I know I shouldn't cross
All ideals abandoned for a taste
At times I lose my grip
And I can't stand
But I do all I can
I do all I can
I stand accused
When you walk into the room
Of facing the facts
Or turning my back to the truth
But when you wear that spark
It reminds me
To give my heart to you
These twists of fate like a magnet
Map my escape
I close my eyes and you're there
In my head
With all the smiles
And compliments spinning
You told me
It's the key and it's the cage
And it keeps me awake
Yeah it keeps me awake
But when you wear that spark
It reminds me
To give my heart to you
These twists of fate like a magnet
Map my escape
But when you wear that spark
It reminds me
To give my heart to you
These twists of fate like a magnet
Map my escape
I stand accused
When you walk into the room
Of facing the facts
Or turning my back to the truth
Yes you have to give your heart to break
I know what it takes
I know what it takes
Yes you have
Yes you have to give your heart to break
I know what it takes
I know what it takes
Yes you have
Yes you have to give your heart to break
I know what it takes
I know what it takes
Yes you have
Yes you have to give your heart to break
I know what it takes
I know what it takes

Wounded Lion
02:49
|
|||
It was raw, raw, raw
Let's not leave it at that
I want to paint a picture in your mind
Just you dream of a winter
Singing spirituals with sharks
Love how you taught me to laugh
Now I say a prayer for your spark
It's never too late to change
There's a bluebird in your heart
Alone, caged and waiting
She's ready to sing
But you're afraid to let her fly
They're watching my six
On journeys to family
Her own book of miracles
And his snake dagger tattoo
Their proud altar shining
So magnificent, so splendid
Let me levitate towards her kindness
And his love, fearless and true
There's a bluebird in your heart
Alone, caged and waiting
She's ready to sing
But you're afraid to let her fly
Wounded lion
You're still so fierce and beautiful
Lit up by the fireworks
And the starlight and the rain
Come out catching lightning
On the other side of midnight
We're mirroring the calm of the river
Before the tides rage

A Game Of Kings
02:43
|
|||
Everything made simple
Words that ring true
I won't let you worry
Or let worry
Get a hold of you
It's easy to say
As tricky as yes
It's down at heel
For the longest
I'll stand up for you every time
This is not a game of kings
We just hold faith and try
If destiny forgives
So help me God I want to live
Your father is so proud of you
Your mother's looking out for you
There's no shame
In throwing your love out to the world
Yeah there's no shame
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
I'll stand up for you every time
This is not a game of kings
We just hold faith and try
If destiny forgives
So help me God I want to live
There's no shame
In throwing your love out to the world
There's no shame
In throwing your love out to the world
There's no shame
In throwing your love out to the world
There's no shame
In throwing your love out to the world
There's no shame
In throwing your love out to the world
There's no shame
In throwing your love out to the world
