The Jump
03:09
|
|||
|
I pick up the phone
I feel so high up
I can barely see the ground
I’ve been alone
By staying silent, and now there’s nowhere to go but down
Deep breath
Jump
I’ve watched for too long
I’ve waited too long
Cling to the side
I’m so scared
Hanging by a thread
Time to decide
Because you can’t take back all you’ve done and said
Deep breath
Jump
I’ve watched for too long
I’ve waited too long
Nowhere to go but down, catch me and stay around
Falling, falling, calling, calling
Deep breath
And jump
I’ve watched for too long
I’ve waited too long

Only Once
03:46
|
|||
|
Two steps away from me, three to the door
heart in two places, longing for more
Hide behind your logic, and pray you stay clean
When every thought inside that pretty head is obscene
One step away from me and four to the door
Hands are on my face and on our way to the floor
Hurts so good you’re shaking and you cannot deny
This second is the first time you ever felt alive
Only once, we’ll do this only once.
Only once, we’ll do this only once.
On top of me, and now we’re far from the door
Body on fire and you’re begging to score
And if we go to hell for this, well don’t be afraid,
Just wallow in the beautiful mess that we’ve made.
Only once, we’ll do it only once
Only once, we’ll do it only once
And you know that I know, I know that you know
And I know that you know, I know that you know
Only once, we’ll do it only once
Only once, we’ll do it only…

Drowning
01:58
|
|||
|
Do you know what happens when you dream of falling?
Are you scared to hit the ground?
Too frightened to find out?
Too frightened that you’ll drown?
I know what happens, take my hand and don’t look down.
If you would believe me,
If you’d just believe me,
You’ll be safe and sound.

Bravery
05:27
|
|||
|
Understanding you’re uncomfortable
with a path you cannot know.
I want to throw all your outstanding
Agreements out the window
And climb, climb.
You say I’m much too complicated
For anyone to try and learn
And so what if we’re ill fated
I don’t want to wait our turn
So climb, climb
I want it all
The fireworks, the awe
Take the fall, take the fall, take it all:
The fireworks, the awe
You only want me when you want me
And I’m not allowed to ask
Be content with all your nothing
Be grateful that you even offer scraps
I want it all
The fireworks, the awe
Take the fall, take the fall, take it all:
The fireworks, the awe
That takes bravery.
I want it all, the fireworks, the awe.
Take the fall, take the fall, take the fall, take the fall….

Autumn
02:34
|
|||
|
She was autumn
Her leaves briefly bright,
A crisp collage dancing on light.
She spun and swirled
Obscuring your pretty path.
And you marveled at each crunch
Of her lovely bones underfoot.
Her clear, cool breath on your cheek
Speaks of a long, lonely time.
The colors fade
And fall.
Her leaves will fade
And fall.
And you’ll marvel at each crunch
Of her lovely bones underfoot.
Her clear, cool breath on your cheek
Speaks of a long, lonely time.

Silence
03:25
|
|||
|
My heart has got so much to say
And you ignore it. You’re so bored with it.
A monologue’s a lonely place
Full of doubt that you want out
Silence as a weapon
Slice me with your sharpest knife
Silence as a weapon
You don’t need a word to win this fight.
Apathy hurts more than hate
Your lack of feeling, it sends me reeling.
And if you couldn’t care that I stay,
Why am I here? Why am I still here?
Silence as a weapon
Slice me with your sharpest knife
Silence as a weapon
You don’t need a word to win this fight.
Oh, what do I say to nothing?
How can you say nothing?
What do I say to nothing?
How could you say nothing?
Silence as a weapon
Slice me with your sharpest knife
Silence as a weapon
You don’t need a word to win this fight.

Bad Habit
04:01
|
|||
|
I inhale your words like cigarette smoke
Gotta space it out, there’s not much more
And you only give enough to keep me tame
Enough for me to stick around through all the pain
I’m an addict
Your love is a bad habit
Oh this is madness
Your love is bad habit
Tell myself to leave and make plans to go
But my fear takes hold, it’s impossible
You like to see me helpless, you get off to see me beg
Bring me down and shoot you up, there’s nothing left.
I’m an addict
Your love is a bad habit
Oh this is madness
Your love is a bad habit
Do you see
What you’ve done to me
Do you see me?
I’m an addict
Your love is a bad habit
Oh, this is madness
Your love is bad habit.

War
01:36
|
|||
|
No less, and no more
No less, and no more
Dream of fire and come with me to war
Let the flames consume you whole
Your angry, burning soul
Let go of your control
No less, and no more
I’m left with no more

Goodbye, Good Riddance
04:59
|
|||
|
Open your eyes
on what you've done
You were the toast of town once, you had your fun
Now look at your life
and your former friends
Did you imagine it would be this lonely at the end?
Goodbye, and good riddance
Look down inside
to understand
You had everything you wanted in the palm of your hand
You can't comprehend
where it all went wrong
Don't you know you're the reason that everything is gone?
Goodbye and good riddance
You want the world to see
all the pretty masks
it must be hard to be
so brutally outmatched
And I'm sorry that I'm not sorry
so bear down and bear witness
Goodbye and good riddance

Howling
04:32
|
|||
|
I’m back on the prowl
I’m returning to lipstick and leather
Swallow my regret somehow
I will tear you apart
Howling, Howling
I’m a wolf in sheep’s clothing
Howling, Howling
I’m a wolf in sheep’s clothing
I’ve got you pegged
Don’t you want to fight again
I thought you liked it, liked it, liked it
I will tear you apart
Howling, Howling
I’m a wolf in sheep’s clothing
Howling, Howling
She’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing
Need the hunt, need the thrill
Need to hurt, need to kill
Need the hunt, need the thrill
Need to hurt, need to kill

Orpheus
05:39
|
|||
|
I asked you a question…you said, “I don’t know,”
But I’ll follow you anyways.
And that’s an answer you didn’t expect.
I keep you on your toes,
It’s so hard for us to navigate.
You say, “Trust in fate…”
You went to hell to find me
And that should be a binding
Spell that pulls me in
You went to hell to save me
And that should be a way
To let us both begin again
Orpheus
Don’t look behind you.
You asked me a question, I said, “I don’t know,
But follow me anyways.”
That’s a choice you will never regret,
‘cause my love will only grow
But you just love to watch me hestitate.
You said, “Trust in fate…”
You went to hell to find me
And that should be a binding
Spell that pulls me in
You went to hell to save me
And that should be a way
To let us both begin again
Orpheus
Don’t look behind you.

Steps
01:44
|
|||
|
Step forward, relax
I’m no longer looking back.
One foot in front of the other,
My feet on solid ground.
Keep walking, just breath
I finally believe
One foot in front of the other
My love won’t let me down.
‘Cause if the earth could shake me off, it’s already tried.
Throw me all your earthquakes, I know I’ll survive.
And step. Step. Step.

The rocks slip beneath my unsteady feet
Am I awake? Am I asleep?
I want to know what lies beneath
The soft place, the greatest leap
Will you catch me if I fall?
Or will you let me fly?
Oh, I wanna fly
Will you let me fly
Oh, I wanna fly
This is not the first time I’ve tried
To give my love, to be alive
It is the first time I’ve realized
That if I leap this far, then I might die
Or will you let me fly?
Oh, I wanna fly
Will you let me fly
Oh, I wanna fly
My heavy heart you’ve given wings
Each word keeps me afloat
You are answers to all the questions I had to know.

Television mock up sound
Little girl, hum to yourself to pretend
In a plastic box shield from the world
Remember what mother said
You are safe when the lights are on
You are safe when the doors are locked
You are safe with bars on the window
You are safe hiding under your bed
You are safe….so safe.
Bat in the closet, bed to hide
This is not a drill
Tuck your knees and cover your head
This is not a drill
You are safe when the lights are on
You are safe when the doors are locked
You are safe with bars on the window
You are safe hiding under your bed
You are safe, you are safe
Television mock up sound
