- Ambitious
I my mind is empty, my wallet is too.
I wonder what it takes to get me higher anymore?
I feel as if I've got the permanent flu.
When is this season gonna seal its angry door?
My fingers ache for what they cannot hold…
my mouth is open, but my lips are frozen.
Sometimes I don't care if I'll make it or won't.
beyond this moment you're letting me go.
- Barbed Wire
This time when you came around
I only wanted to break you down
I only wanted to watch you come apart
This time when you came to call
I only wanted your guard to fall
I only wanted to shake your head and heart
Can you blame me?
Would you shame me?
- Begin To Stop
I pick up somebody like I pick up disaster only
Faster and with more abandonment I try to
Feel his hand in mine without a
Sense of place or time or space or
Even a sense of his face as it researches
Mine for sin and I don't know
Where to begin to stop loving you
- Birthday
Every single birthday I promise I am gonna change but
I can never take the first step
Every single New Year’s I promise there’ll be no more tears but
I can only take what I get
What I get is that you will never, never, never let go
What I feel is that you may never, never, never
Wanna know me for who I really am
- Bravedancing
You came to me like lightning upon a picket fence
Shattering my illusion with shockingly bad sense
And I may never feel the same
But I won't always feel this pain
So let faith fall on me now
I'm gonna be here 'till the end
If you do not see me bend
- Confession
I took you for granted
Every day of my life
From the moment I met you
I believed you would one day be my wife
Now I’m scared and I’m shattered
‘Cause you’re finally happy
That I’ve got to learn to let you go
- Everything
Everything about this situation’s a surprise
I had almost given up looking into people’s eyes
It’s a little ironic you wear thick glasses
Every time I think about it I shiver and shake
Kissing you beneath the ceiling of constellations
Everything about our evening was a perfect mistake
Everything about this situation’s so surreal
- Featherwoman
What are the things that I do best
That nobody else can do?
You know I try to behave as if it don’t bother me
The way they still compare us two
What are the things that I know how
To paint in a simple light
Without the glare of expectation or the curse or avarice
Staining the veil of a blushing bride?
- Frost
The thing that burns me up the most
Is how I tried to do the right thing
I kept my magic at a distance
‘Cause logic has a price
The thing that haunts me like a ghost
Is how I squandered all my weakness
I let you think that I was perfect
For that I'll pay the piper
- Look
i look around at all my friends
and what their hearts are wearing
rosaries of anti-joy
i look around at where the rainbows end
inside their jaded eyes
i know there must be more to this crazy life
but there's comfort in the light
- Newspaper
I was only twelve years old
When I saw you in the newspaper
You were in the police blogger
stealing things you could afford
I was just a lonely girl wanting to be someone special
Someone neighbors talked about
When they were drunk and bored
- Soulstice
La da da...
Mmm...
Summer of
Shots to come
Which when you held me, held me
Over by the lake with the white swans
- Trouble
I look around at all I see,
And I see you and I feel free.
But I see him and I feel tense.
I look around at all I know
And all the places we could go.
But when I hear him I hear defense.
Oh, we're gonna get in trouble if we're not careful.
- Try try try
[Verse 1]
He gave me something that I could believe in
He gave me something made me try, try, try
He gave me something that I could not leave and
He hid a hello in goodbye bye, bye
It wasn’t hard to make him understand me
He turned my pages like a pirouette
- Vertigo
Every time I see your face I feel like I’m in pain
Every time I look away I feel more o’ the same
Every time I hold your hand, feels like I’m drowning
Every time I let it go I feel vertigo
And I know what I know and I know it’s not right
And I should’ve run far, ‘fore you held me tight
And I feel what I feel, feel this is wrong
- Wax
If you're playing with fire, you're gonna get burned
Where was I when they taught that lesson?
Thirty-five, I've had a full life
And it's a miracle as you sink that knife
If you break one heart, it'll boomerang back
Where was I when they taught that lesson?
Skydiving above my soul
- When I Was Young
When I was young I was hungry
I thought I’d become the sum of all my parts
The heart of a deer as gentle as discovery
The soul of a lioness, reckless as the arts
But little did I know
It would all come it would all go
Like the seasons or the snow upon my lashes
- Wildflower
Are you gonna lie to me
Are you gonna just keep talking
Are you gonna fly to me
Are you gonna keep on walking
Is it just the way you feel
You can never seem to notice
When it's somebody else's shpiel
To be the one to feel so hopeless
