Strings

Lift me up, I feel you pulling.
Your eyes and lips so sweet and binding,
asking for my hands and my voice,
as if you've never wanted anything more.
Now I just cannot refuse you.
You've made me so desperate for you.
Lift me up I feel you pulling;
I'm sinking as the strings start tearing.
Tell me that I'm nothing special;
you just like to pull at people's strings.
Surprised to find that I would dance for you,
take it back, when I've given everything.
Darling I can't find my footing.
I'm heavy since you turned out all the lights.
Drop the strings, I'm just a painted doll
I don't remember how to stand upright.
Tell me that I'm nothing special;
you just like to pull at people's strings.
Surprised to find that I would dance for you,
take it back, when I've given everything.

Follow Me

Have you known this desperation,
yearning for the light that you turned out?
Knowing only now that you are so young?
Cut myself, and scatter the pieces,
'cause I'm afraid of my own weakness;
above all, don't let anybody close.
Even when I'm burning inside,
it's worse to be burned.
When I lose myself, it's nobody's concern so,
you'll make a cynic out of me.
Follow me when I run,
keep me in your sight.
Hold my hand and keep my eyes
to the light.
Follow me when I run,
keep me in your sight.
Hold my hand and keep my eyes
to the light.
Have you known this confusion,
reaching for the hands that you turned away;
knowing only now that you are so small?
Pull away and cower in the sheets,
no one wants my sincerity my heat.
So don't come close.
'Cause even when I'm burning inside,
it's worse to be burned.
When I lose myself, it's nobody's concern so,
you'll make a cynic out of me.
Follow me when I run,
keep me in your sight.
Hold my hand and keep my eyes
to the light.
Follow me when I run,
keep me in your sight.
Hold my hand and keep my eyes
to the light.

The Water's Not So Deep

You lit a fire I didn't know was there,
sent the crows rushing into the air.
You lit a fire I didn't know was there,
but we said it was easy, we said it was easy.
You lit a fire I didn't know was there,
sent my ashes into the air.
We didn't choose these bodies this love,
but we said it was easy, we said it was easy, anyways.
Look me in the eye,
I want you to see what you've done:
the cities you've leveled,
the fires you've set.
I can't believe I let you this close,
'cause now I can't let you out.
I try over and over
to bleed this poison from my heart.
All the while I know,
all I need is to stand.
Oh I know, all I need is to stand.
Look me in the eye.
Look me in the eye.
Look me in the eye,
I want you to see what you've done:
the love that you burned,
the heart that you spurned.
I can't believe I let you this close,
'cause now I can't let you out.
I try over and over
to bleed this poison from my heart.
All the while I know,
all I need is to stand.
Oh I know, all I need is to stand.
I know, all I need is to stand,
the water's not so deep.
Look me in the eye.
Look me in the eye.

Go Easy On Me
02:53

Why do you hold me so,
when you let me go so long ago?
Why do these tears flow,
when you let me go so long ago?
So let me go;
let me go.
Oh I travel slow,
as I question everything I know.
Oh the pain only grows,
though you let me go so long ago
So let me go;
let me go.
If it's so easy for you, let it be easy for me.
Go easy on me, go easy on me.
If it's so easy for you, let it be easy for me.
Go easy on me, go easy on me.

When You Go
04:06

Don't hurt her now;
maybe she's waiting for
a beam of light to flutter above her,
as you open the door.
Won't you come home?
Don't make a sound;
she waits for the creaking
of your feet on the floorboards,
the way it was before.
The weight on her heart,
is pushing her deeper into the silence around her.
Won't you save her?
She's waiting;
she's waiting;
and every face is yours.
Every face is yours.
What's left when you go,
I don't know.
What's left when you go,
I don't know.
Don't push her now;
baby she's fading like a string of lights deep in the dark.
Where is her heart?
And she's empty;
she's empty like you've never known.
She's filled with water head to toe.
What's left when you go,
I don't know.
What's left when you go,
I don't know.

Let Me Be Me
03:33
|

I pull pavement in my stride
to show me I am all I need.
I make up long lists of numbers
to cover all the ways I bleed.
And my eyes were always mirrors
you couldn’t see inside of me,
‘cause the common ground I knew of
was never under my own feet.
But a day came when I weakened,
and I forgot my mirrored eyes,
so that I gave away my secrets
in exchange for pretty lies.
I never needed any keeper
to lift me from my knees,
I never needed your advances
all I wanted was to be.
So let me be me, I don't want to live in your shadow today.
Let me be me, I'm tired of losing my way, losing my way.
So let me be me, I don't want to live in your shadow today.
Let me be me, I'm tired of losing my way, losing my way.
