Naked

Nothing better than seeing you naked
With all of your clothes still on
Nothing better than being here naked
With all of my clothes still on
I would surrender my pride
Unless you didn't want me
I would harbor your fears
Unless you didn't want me
I'm not saying I'm just saying I want you
With none of your clothes still on
I'm not saying I'm just saying I hope you
Want me with all of my clothes on the floor
I would surrender my pride
Unless you didn't want me
I would harbor your fears
Unless you didn't want me

Bubblin

I'm sure you know what you did to me
And I think you know that you're dear to me
Last night the stream was bubblin
And you let me in, but I dragged you out
For the moon was flickering so terribly in those soft waves
In those soft waves, in those soft ways
Your motions gliding with mine
We decided to stop time
Over shoulder I saw the stream was still bubblin
Birds from above gave their feathers for a bed for me
Soft and silken as you wanted me
I collapsed in your arm in the moonlit charm
Dripping silver balm
And we floated away
Past the birds past the moon past the stars
And we continued on
Your motions gliding with mine
We decided to stop time
Over shoulder I saw the stream was still bubblin

Straight lines are breathing
Shaky curves so divine
Your colors are bleeding
On the paper of my mind
Icy fortress in ruin
Crumble down
The sky is bleeding
Bloody sun tumble down
My tonal language that you're speaking so fluently
How do you do it when you do what you do to me

Cloudy
04:41
|

|
Apathy laced with the air of those who have slipped between the cracks
Of a somber disregard for all they may have whispered
Silently wince at every mention of the place you used to dwell
So little knowledge of the one I supposed knew so well

Shelter
03:33
|

A church upon the riverside
Decrepit yet still wild things stay dry inside
The bears and the bees retreat
A chill besets their bones it's time to sleep
A single breath
Hovers in the air like a cloud in the storm
That looms above
A single breath
Hovers in the air like a cloud in the storm
I'm quivering
Me and my clumsy human ways
Lay eyes upon the church by the icy riverside
A boar upon the chipped white wooden steps
Reminds that it's not me this ground is hallowed to
A single breath
Hovers in the air like a cloud in the storm
That looms above
A single breath
Hovers in the air like a cloud in the storm
I'm quivering

Curse
04:52
|

|
Daytime and it's too bright to open my eyes
Isn't this just what I wanted
Night time and you're out of my sight
But still the first little thing that enters my mind
So I stop blink twice and I pinch myself
Because if this is real I'm going to hell
But it's not fair cause when I look in your eyes
It's all love it's all love it's all love
Daytime and I'm too in love to say a word
Is this real or am I still dreaming
Night time and you're still in my sight all I
Have to do is close my eyes
I've caught the curse
Just like you and her
Wasn't looking for this
Just needed your love love love love
And maybe if I could stop myself
Wouldn't have to sit here and talk to myself
Myself you really fucked this up
Myself you might want to stop yourself
I've caught the curse
Just like you and her
Wasn't looking for this
Just needed your love love love love

So you wanna dip, me too
I'll catch a ride with you, la di da
Tell you all of the sweet things
That I would like to do when I'm with you
So you wanna dip, me too
I'll get ice cream with you, la di da
Get my favorite flavor
I hope it tastes like you
So you wanna dip, me too
I'll do some drugs with you, la di da
Show me all of the strange things
I've never seen before
So you wanna dip, me too
I'll catch a ride with you, la di da
Tell you all of the sweet things
That I would like to do when I'm with you

Chasing My Tail
05:29
|
|||
|
The unscratchable itch
Got me chasing my tail again
Got my chasing my tail again
Addicted to destruction like I always knew I was
My lungs filling with dust
And I'm sterilized to the bone
My skin splitting and crackling
No blood left to come out, it drained me
I'm empty
Just like honey in slow motion
It's a redundant notion
I've forgotten the ocean
Unescapable loop that I'm stuck in, not moving
This little fawn
Started the fire
And it burned up my tears
But I made it alive
It singed my fur
And now I'm chasing my tail again
Stop hitting yourself
Stop hitting yourself

Take Your Time

Take your time, get to know a little better
That's fine, it's not like you could get madder
Not what you hoped for, is it?
But what if I give it a minute
But maybe my breath will take it away
But maybe my breath will take me away
Take your time, get to know a little better
That's fine, it's not like you could get any sadder

Venus Flytrap

Hey my baby you're lying so peacefully by me
Hey my baby you're wide awake inside of me
With the tide my confidence flickers but you seem fine
And I pine just to know that you are mine
You have the glowing smile that I need
I'll give you all of my loving underneath these trees
On the beach you're melting me right back into stone
Lighting strikes and I might be better off alone
I smile at you, you say what
I see all of the flowering beauty that could be but
I'm afraid I'm a Venus flytrap baby
I don't wanna swallow you whole, maybe
Hey my baby you're lying so peacefully by me
Hey my baby you're wide awake inside of me
