Austra Complete Lyrics Archive

B i o g r a p h y
(by Heather Phares)

Named for the Latvian goddess of light, Toronto's Austra feature singer/keyboardist Katie Stelmanis, drummer Maya Postepski, and bassist Dorian Wolf. Stelmanis is a classically trained vocalist and pianist who joined the Canadian Children's Opera at age ten and intended to pursue a career in classical music before falling in love with punk, industrial, and electronic music. In 2008 she released the solo album Join Us, and was also a member of the band Galaxy with Postepski. When that group disbanded, the pair joined forces with Wolf, a former member of Spiral Beach, and initially called themselves Private Life, but switched to Austra after discovering another band with that name. Their debut single, The Beat and the Pulse, arrived in early 2011, and their full-length debut, Feel It Break (most of which was recorded in Stelmanis' home studio and mixed by Damian Taylor), arrived in May of that year on Domino Records. By the time of 2013's Olympia, the project had evolved into a six-piece featuring keyboardist Ryan Wonsiak and backing vocalists Romy and Sari Lightman, allowing for more live instrumentation and interplay between bandmembers. 2016's Future Politics diversified the mix further, with the inclusion of guest vocalist Peter Milton Walsh (the Apartments) on "Attention to Life" and cellist Audrey Riley (Nick Cave, Coldplay, the Cure) appearing intermittently throughout the album.

Feel It Break

Darken her horse

Ride her darken horse
Her tempers lie untold
It's always the same
It's always the same
A customary trend
The course is laid to play
I noticed it's there
I noticed it's there
I noticed...

Shoot into the darkness with your hands
Shoot into the darkness with your hands
Another copy paste from aotr
Ride her darkened horse
Her tempers lie untold
It's all insane
It's all insane
A monster for a friend
A liar to depend
I noticed it's there
I noticed it's there
I noticed...

Hold her by the reins
The moon isn't far
Hold her by the reins
It's worth it to stay
Nothing stable, nothing patient here

Ride her darkened horse
The pathway to the end
She's all alone
She's all alone
Her trust was never there
It's yours she needs to hear
I noticed it's there
I noticed it's there
I noticed...

Hold her by the reins
The moon isn't far
Hold her by the reins
It's worth it to stay

Hold her by the reins
The moon isn't far
Hold her by the reins
It's worth it to stay
Nothing stable, nothing patient here

Lose It

Don't wanna lose you, don't wanna lose
Don't wanna lose you, don't wanna lose
I never knew you, I never knew
I never knew you, I never knew
Your body's harmful, the very shape
The cracks are deeper, on every plate

Don't wanna lose you, don't wanna lose
Don't wanna lose you, don't wanna lose
I get impatient, with every word
The more you ask me, the more I've heard

This is a thirst that I've never had
I never bled for another man
Another copy paste from aotr
Don't wanna lose you, don't wanna lose
Don't wanna lose you, don't wanna lose

My life is grief, my life is grieved
My life is grief, my life is grieved
Without an emotion

In the darkness comes, another, another
Hold her by the thumbs, the other, the other
Don't wanna lose you, don't wanna lose
Don't wanna lose you, don't wanna lose

In the darkness comes, another, another
Hold her by the thumbs, the other, the other

The Future

To the end I'll never know
Temperatures are rising slow

I came so hard in your mouth
I saw the future, it was dark
I know I'm not afraid
I'm consumed
And another thing
I'm still bruised

So it seems you're not my friend
Anything is better than
Another copy paste from aotr
I came so hard in your mouth
I saw the future, it was dark
I know I'm not afraid
I'm consumed
And another thing
I'm still bruised

Nobody knows what I bring

Beat And The Pulse

A hundred angles lost
Fleeing from the beat and the pulse
Laughing like a fool
Play it for the heart and the soul
And the soul

Capture something read
Paste it to the edge of your bed
Someone will be there
Someone who will know what it says
What it says
Another copy paste from aotr
Feel it break
Feel it break
Nothing's a mistake, or you
Feel it break

Elevate your fingers
Motion makes it hard to write
Steel words are abrasive
Yours are making me feel right
Feel right

Feel it break
Feel it break
Nothing's a mistake, or you
Feel it break

Spellwork

Habit alone, when separate I moan
Feeding on bones or anything grown
I command post and nobody shows
In mornings I rest here
In evenings I work here
My debt isn't spent till the rest of me's left
I'll adore

You must be the call
The evil at night
Speaking words of grace
While spellwork delights
Feel my desire, it burns like a fire
Feel my desire, it burns like a fire

I work alone saving my soul
If yesterday hurts, tomorrow is worse
Send me a sign, for my body's aligned
I'm ready to waste all my limbs and my face
My pores are wide open
And bleed for your potion
Spellwork and lies
Another copy paste from aotr
You must be the call
The evil at night
Speaking words of grace
While spellwork delights
Feel my desire, it burns like a fire
Feel my desire, it burns like a fire

You must be the call
The evil at night
Speaking words of grace
While spellwork delights
Feel my desire, it burns like a fire
Feel my desire, it burns like a fire

The Choke

The thing that leaves you in the darkness is her
The thing that maybe once seemed harmful is her
The lamp, the car, the door
The lamp, the slip, the floor

You wouldn't eat unless I told you so
I never knew that you would burn it so slow
The mouth, the breath, the smoke
The mouth, the breath, the choke

Niagara, Niagara, Niagara...

Who would have thought
I'm maybe caught
Who would have thought
I'm maybe caught
Lover, don't do anything
The choke
Lover, don't do anything
The choke
Another copy paste from aotr
The thing that leaves you in the darkness is her
The thing that maybe once seemed harmful is her
The lamp, the car, the door
The lamp, the slip, the floor

Is this attention just a burden to bear
A sick reminder that I didn't care
The mouth, the breath, the smoke
The mouth, the breath, the choke

Hate Crime

Another thing that I would compromise
Another thing that I would compromise to say
At first
Don't wanna sympathize
Don't wanna sympathize
With the darkness
With the darkness
Don't wanna sympathize
Don't wanna sympathize
With the darkness
With the darkness

Who signed the consent forms
Who signed, who signed
Who signed the consent forms
Who signed, who signed
Another copy paste from aotr
It isn't something I would put you through
To be afraid and left for black and blue
At first
It's hard to recognize
It's hard to recognize
From my apartment
From my apartment
I couldn't sympathize
I wouldn't sympathize
With the darkness
With the darkness

Who signed the consent forms
Who signed, who signed
Who signed the consent forms
Who signed, who signed

Who would, who would
Who would be so harmful to you

The Villain

You say I'm not afraid but I linger
The pleasure's still the same, she gets sicker

I will break your heart if I can't stay
It is more than I might be safe to play

It's hidden in the clouds where I can see
How easily my mind could just break free
Another copy paste from aotr
Arise sweet demon and have your say
I deserve nothing but fortune's way
Arise sweet demon and have your say
I will break your heart but I can't stay

Tenderly, my garden grows there
Carefully, I'll care and wait there
You can't be sure this round will solve it
I can't be sure this round will solve it

Shoot The Water

Silence
Silence speaks for you
Silence speaks for you
And diamonds
Diamonds shine like you
Diamonds shine like you

Stop that, stop it, stop it as a panther
Stop that, stop it as a panther
Silence
Silence speaks for you

I want your blood
I want it in my hair
I want your blood
I want it in my hair
Another copy paste from aotr
Shoot the water
Shoot the water
Shoot the water baby I've been found
Shoot the water
Shoot the water
Shoot the water baby I've been found

Shame
Shame is your name
Shame is your name
And desperate
Desperate things can't measure it
Desperate things can't measure it

Silence speaks for, silence speaks for
Silence speaks for you

I want your blood
I want it in my hair
I want your blood
I want it in my hair

Shoot the water
Shoot the water
Shoot the water baby I've been found
Shoot the water
Shoot the water
Shoot the water baby I've been found

I've been found
I've been found

The Noise

I can't sleep at night
The noise, the noise
My eyes the open wider
The noise, the noise
I came to relate
The noise, the noise
Help me compensate for
The noise, the noise
Another copy paste from aotr
But I wouldn't do anything
The thundering that throws me away
I wouldn't do anything

I won't go to church
The noise, the noise
The preacher wouldn't care for
The noise, the noise
I don't know what's real from
The noise, the noise
I can't hear a thing for
The noise, the noise
The noise
The noise
The noise

I wouldn't do anything
The thunder that throws me away
I wouldn't do anything
There's something that keeps me away
I wouldn't do anything
Something that begs me to stay
I wouldn't do anything
Something that throws me away

The Beast

The morning that I was born again
I was made into a beast
Am I free now, am I at peace
Is that the ground below me, or your feet
Another copy paste from aotr
The morning I saw your face again
I was made into a beast
Am I free now, am I at peace

Is that the ground below me, or your feet

And I'll break my head over you
This way

Identity

Enter the flirt gates and breathe
I want to be true, there's no need
The pressure you built on my head and my shoulders
It threatens to be what I'm seeing
In you

Capture my breath, don't mislead
Sink to my head, it's the need
You are my headache, my seed in the middle
And I won't be ready to live
For you
Another copy paste from aotr
Mother won't battle the name
Other get's stable that way
Mother won't battle the name
And other gets stable that way

Creature don't keep me from dreaming
A fantasy life, that's worth keeping
Strangers don't know me, but love to control me
It's you that their hoping to see
From them.

Mother won't battle the name
Other get's stable that way,
Mother won't finish the game
And other gets stable that way

Come, let's play
Come, let's play

Mother won't battle the name
While other get's stable that way
Mother won't finish the game
And other gets stable that way

Young And Gay

The dark night
It calls me
Right into my palm, this thing that I will know
Bleeding in my chest, the fool in you will know

In my head
In my head
In my head
The fool in you will know
Another copy paste from aotr
These wings I spread
It lead my face towards
What isn't for the search that I respect
Amongst the village where the war is ever left

In my head
In my head
In my head
The fool in you will know

Energy

Centuries,
I respect them, please
Come on

But it isn't easy
And I transform into energy
With your mouth

Move in overflows
Come on

I know now
But it isn't easy
And I transform into energy
With your mouth

The rest is like a cup of tea
And I transform, into energy
With your mouth

Oh, I transform into energy
Oh, I transform into energy
Oh, I transform into energy
Another copy paste from aotr

I know now
But it isn't easy
And I transform into energy
With your mouth

Believe Me

Mother,
Everything you did before you hit the ground I found
Believe me, you need me more
All I've been

Mother,
Everything you did before you hit the ground I found
Believe me, believe me, I'm mad

Hunter, please sir
Don't expect the world when you've got me
Believe me, believe me, I'm mad

Hunter, please hurt her
Hunter, please hurt her
Believe me, believe me, I'm mad
Believe me, believe me, I'm mad
Another copy paste from aotr
Hunter, please sir
Don't expect the world when you've got me
Hold on, it's my island
It's my island, it's my name
Hold on, it's my island
It's my island, it's my name

Trip

The blood is my foe
A bet of my own
I noticed
I'm impaired (?)
The blood is rushing down
The blood is rushing down
To my bed

I noticed in the air
Your words are true but fair
I know this
It got me bad
The blood is rushing down
The blood is rushing down
I'm in
Another copy paste from aotr
Keep the valley broken
Keep the valley broken
Leave the valley broken
Leave the valley broken

The blood is my foe
A bet of my own
I know this, it got me bad
The blood is rushing down
The blood is rushing down
To my bed

I noticed in the air
Your words are true but fair
I know this
It got me bad
The blood is rushing down
The blood is rushing down
To my bed

Keep the valley broken
Keep the valley broken
Leave the valley broken
Leave the valley broken

The blood is my foe
A bet of my own
I know this, it got me bad
The blood is rushing down
The blood is rushing down
To my bed

Pianix

Is that your hand I feel
Is it true, it's real
I didn't have a cause
Nor my impulse

Paintings of the portraits I love
Portraits, I love you
You can stay

Is that your hand I feel
I know that it's real
I didn't have a cause
And nor an impulse
Another copy paste from aotr
Painted by the portraits I love
Portraits, I love you
You can stay

Woodstock

Well, I came upon a child of god
He was walking along the road
And I asked him, tell me where are you going
This he told me

Said, I'm going down to Yasgur's farm
Gonna join in a rock and roll band
Got to get back to the land and set my soul free

We are stardust, we are golden
We are billion year old carbon
And we got to get ourselves back to the garden
Another copy paste from aotr
Well, then can I walk beside you
I have come to lose the smog
And I feel myself a cog in somethin' turning
And maybe it's the time of year
But then maybe it's the time of man
And I don't know who I am
But life is for learning

We are stardust, we are golden
We are billion year old carbon
And we got to get ourselves back to the garden

We are stardust, we are golden
We are billion year old carbon
And we got to get ourselves back to the garden

By the time we got to Woodstock
We were half a million strong
And everywhere was a song and a celebration
And I dreamed I saw the bomber jet planes
Riding shotgun in the sky
Turning into butterflies
Above our nation

We are stardust, we are golden
We are caught in the devils bargain
And we got to get ourselves back to the garden

Crying

I was all right for awhile
I could smile for awhile
But I saw you last night
You held my hand so tight

As you stopped to say, "Hello"
Oh, you wished me well
You, you couldn't tell
That I'd been crying over you, crying over you
Another copy paste from aotr
When you said, "So long"
Left me standing all alone
Alone and crying, crying
Crying, crying

It's hard to understand
But the touch of your hand
Can start me crying
I thought that I was over you
But it's true, so true

I love you even more
Than I did before
But, darling, what can I do?
For you don't love me

And I'll always be crying over you
Crying over you
Yes, now you're gone
And from this moment on
I'll be crying, crying
Crying, crying
Yeah, crying, crying over you

Beat And The Pulse

Hundred angles lost
Fleeing from the beat and the pulse
Loving like a fool
Play it full of heart and the soul
And the soul

Capture something red
Paste it to the edge of your bed
Someone will be there
Someone who will know what it says
What it says
Another copy paste from aotr
Feel it break
Feel it break
Nothing's a mistake, or you
Feel it break

Elevate your fingers
Motion makes it hard to write
Steel words are abrasive
Yours are making me feel right
Feel right

Feel it break
Feel it break
Nothing's a mistake, or you
Feel it break

Olympia

What We Done

So I dance with nothing
So I dance for free
And there is no glamour
Stumbling down Queen

Come back to me
You're seventeen
I have no silence
Calamity

We knew no difference
Awake the arc
She saw the future
And it was dark
Another copy paste from aotr
So I dance with nothing
So I dance for free
And there is no love here
Where the old queers sting

Come back to me
You're seventeen
I have no silence
Complacency

We knew no different
Awake the arc
She saw the future
It was dark

So I dance with nothing
So I dance for free
And there is no glamour
Stumbling down Queen

What we done
Deceiving the peace we had inside
What we done
Believing the peace we had inside

I've become the ceiling
The features of the night
Where are you
Believing we found our way alright

Here again, this feeling
This aching space inside
Here again, this feeling
This aching place inside

Forgive Me

What do I have to do to make you forgive me
I wouldn't even tell the world if you could hear I'm sorry
What do I say to make it so you stay around me
What do I have to do
What will release me

You won't abandon where you aim
Someday I hope you'll change your hand
Howling into the bed below your sight
It was in your sight
I was another
Another copy paste from aotr
What do I have to do to make you forgive me?
I wouldn't even tell the world if you could hear I'm sorry
What do I say to make it so you stay around me?
What do I have to do
What will release me

How can I make you believe me?
How can you command me
When I call out for
Please understand

What do I have
What do I have
What do I have to do

What do I have to do to make you forgive me
I wouldn't even tell the world if you could hear I'm sorry

What do I have
What do I have
What do I have to do

Painful Like

Hiding in the morning light
You can come here any time
Ride past their prying eyes
You can come here anytime

In the light I'm falling
Held in the eye of night
Malice keeps calling
Your palms keep on calming

You are carried

It was in the morning light
Bruised skin on top of mine
I held you in my underwear
Someone might see, but I don't care
Another copy paste from aotr
We don't have to marry
In the light you bet it all
In this town we'll bury
All the minds that clench too tight

You are carried

Sleep

So, we fall
By the weight of the wine

My eye
It yearns

Here comes the guardian of ease
Here comes the carriage of light

Could I feel more

You'll never know me
I will never know you
Another copy paste from aotr
Far away
Lies on my eyes
Wake the saint
Shadow of my side

Could I feel more

You will never know me
I will never know you

So we fall, we falter
In the light, I'm golden
So we fall, we falter
In the light, I am bare

Home

You know that it hurts me when
You don't come home at night
My body can't rest unless
You're sleeping by my side
You know that it hurts me when
You stay away all night
What is it that keeps you there
Keeping you occupied from my heart
My heart

You know that it hurts me when
You don't come home at night
You'll say that it's better than
Beating on the paler side
You know that it hurts me when
You can't see straight at night
Blindness it will keep you there
Keeping you glorified, in my heart
My heart
My heart
Another copy paste from aotr
Hope, hope, hope, hope, hope, hope
You know that it hurts me when
You know that it hurts me when
You don't, you don't, you don't

You know that it hurts me when you don't come home at night
My body can't rest unless you're sitting by my side
You know that it hurts me when you stay away all night
What is it that keeps you there
Keeping you occupied from my heart

Fire

And who will have her
Instead we harm her
And we make fire
And we are fire

Without, she begs I want her
Uphold and sell your stone to the sculpture

You are not willing

You said
I waged a war
What foe, what for

I Don't Care (I'm a Man)

The quiet indoor fighting
The whimper in her sigh
The soft, the brutalizing
But I don't care, I'm a man
Another copy paste from aotr
The solace in denying
The face that we all share
The lonesome one, the dying
But I don't care, I'm a man

We Become

I wouldn't hide this feeling
A coward's crown, please raise it high
I couldn't stop the warning
Split like a lip on top of mine
I wouldn't leave you in the sunlight
I wouldn't keep you in the sun's eye
Keep us lying
If there's a meaning I will say it all again

You wouldn't call my name
It's always been the same
It's true your eyes don't look at me
I couldn't tell you if I knew it or not
Another copy paste from aotr
It could be islands
It could be better

Who can have this feeling
A coward's crown - please raise it high
I could hold off in the morning
Growing bolder in the night
I wouldn't leave you in the sunlight
I wouldn't keep you in the sun's eye

You wouldn't call my name
It's always been the same
It's true your eyes don't look at me
I couldn't tell you if I knew it or not

It could be islands
It could be better

Reconcile

If we were in this room again
I could shape the light this way
Temper would build me back
Legs left belonged again
There is a breath that's left
Once was a pulsing thing
You shuddered every word
You are calling time again

I will reconcile, I will reconcile
I will reconcile, I will reconcile

We are in the room again
I will flick the teeth away
Temper would build me back
Legs you left belonged again
Now you're a limping grin
Once it was a pulsing thing
Sullen as a swollen tongue
You are calling time again

I will reconcile (candid in your hands)
I will reconcile (I hope you understand)
I will reconcile (candid in your hands)
I will reconcile (I hope you understand)
Another copy paste from aotr
Again I know you're there
You will love again
It's there, in truth
You will love again
It's there, in truth
You will love again

Annie (Oh Muse, You)

Too dark to see in there
Fools took you in, beware
Your armour in the air
You got hooked now, I'll be damned
Keep notes with a photograph
I walk with peace and darkness
Instead of rolling over
Aching, you stay below here

Go on
Get off
The ground
Another copy paste from aotr
I would win if I reeled it in
The land, calm reasoning
How luck can be so grim
You need a lift, my friend
Now, look me in the eyes
Swimming backwards, feet denied
Almost home, then I lose it all
I think you know that I belong here

Get off
The ground
Oh muse, you

You Changed My Life

You changed my life for the best
You changed my life for the best

The sun is cold and dark as night
But I remember what you said
Another copy paste from aotr
And you changed my life for the best

Hurt Me Now

In a burning building
I was boiling over
With a head of ashes
On a bed of stone
Oh, can you hear me now
Oh, don't hurt me now

In the velvet calm
Willing, undone
Placed my heart on the table
And the fire comes

Oh, don't hurt me now
Oh, don't hurt me now

Have I become
Willing, undone
You put the temple
Into the ground
Another copy paste from aotr
Oh, please don't hurt me now
Oh, don't hurt me now

In the velvet calm,
Had I known the help
What I would have done their building
What I would have done
Had I had a hundred fathers
Had I been a king
How I would have gone

Oh, don't hurt me now
Oh, don't hurt me now
Oh, don't hurt me now
Oh, don't hurt me now

Future Politics

We Were Alive

Waking up, got somewhere to go
I'm making sweat fall
Step in line, do it hard enough
To bring your colour back

Got no time to waste
'Cause I'm poor and if I get something good
I'm gonna take it
I shouldn't laugh but I feel it I'm inside

I am moribund
It's what you want, torpidity
But I sigh

What if we were alive
What if we were alive
What if we were alive
Another copy paste from aotr
He knows
It's true, I believed in nothing before
I've been living in garden
Distant, I was in a fortress

Those thought walls crumbling
And I think I see
How we've been cheated, the lies

It's like we were alive
It's like we were alive
It's like we were alive

Doctor, what's the cure for apathy
Come and pick me up

It's like we were alive
It's like we were alive
It's like we were alive

It's like we were alive
It's like we were alive
It's like we were alive

That it's all my fault

Your money runs out

Realities beating, A grave has been dug

Utopia

I live in a city full of people I don't know
People riding highways from the workplace to the home
I raise my head, I see they're different than us
But I only wanna hold your hand my whole damn life!

I can picture a place where everybody feels it too
It might be fiction but I see it ahead
There's nothing I wouldn't do
There's nothing I wouldn't do

Cut me a slice of the apple that I grow
My work is valid, I can't prove it but I know
A woman screams, she's looking for meaning behind
A man who made her cry her whole damn life
Another copy paste from aotr
I can picture a place where everybody feels it too
It might be fiction but I see it ahead
There's nothing I wouldn't do
There's nothing I wouldn't do

Utopia
Utopia

Utopia

Like a hunter with teeth
There's nothing I wouldn't do
I'm running through a fountain of dirt
There's nothing I wouldn't do
There's nothing I wouldn't do

I'm A Monster

I'm a monster
I am on fire, I'm blooming, baby
Why don't you care for me anymore?
Just like the morning when you're gone
I've been believing that you'll carry me away
But I don't see no horse, and no carriage

There must be more to life than this
Am I a fool to believe that maybe
If I could shift these parts around
By catalysis or brawn
I'd get something back?

Keep me high, keep me thin
Carry on, keep it in
But I don't feel nothing, anymore
I don't feel nothing, anymore
I try to keep my head on straight
But I don't feel nothing, anymore

I Love You More Than You Love Yourself

There is nothing in your soul tonight
I only see darkness
And there is nothing in your soul tonight
I only see darkness

The past, how thick it grows
Shakes up what you didn't know
Proceeding, try a little bit harder, baby
You're indifferent
You're a stranger to what makes you feel good

I love you more than you love yourself
I love you more than you love yourself

On top of it
Pulling out the nails
In a moment of calm
Still feels good
But it's been so long
Another copy paste from aotr
There is nothing in your soul tonight
I only see darkness
And there is nothing in your soul tonight

You're a stranger to what makes you feel good

I love you more than you love yourself

Angel In Your Eye

I'm a chemical reaction and my elements are aligned
Baby if I hadn't known you, then I couldn't even start the fire
You're still scaling the walls, looking for a way in
Wrap me up inside you, warbling soft words, wandering eye...

I need it
I need it
I need it
I need it

A bag of flesh is a magnet, a scent, a sound corrupt
You took all my dignity, replaced it with a hand
Handle me with ardor and I'll shudder
But my chills are warm
Delusion is persuasion
Tenderizing me inside

I need it
I need it
I need it
I need it
Another copy paste from aotr
The fever grows
Incandescent, does it show
The fever grows
Incandescent, does it show

Freepower

I am free
I can't believe chains are broke
Tradition we delete
A human in the fortress
I wiggle to the bed

If only it were true, if only
If only it were true, if only

Careful now
Tails will be caught if you keep on your toes
'Cause I am a monster, and
I'm looking for a break
Another copy paste from aotr
If only it were true, if only
If only it were true, if only
If only it were true, if only
If only it were true, if only

There's no names here
Come follow me
Together we are drastic in our voyage to proceed

If only it were true, if only
If only it were true, if only
And away

Gaia

The physical world

Nobody will take you anyway

Beyond A Mortal

I'm in love with your color
It makes me so good
It makes me feel good
I can't believe what you've done

I'm in love with your color
Changes my mood when it shines
Keeps me aligned
Can't feel unrest

Do you acknowledge what I'm saying
Do you acknowledge what I'm saying
I love him more, don't think that I forgot
I love him more, no he won't be forgot

Do you acknowledge what I'm saying
Do you acknowledge what I'm saying
I love him more, I wish I could protect
I love him more, nobody could protect

Don't ignore the feeling, you're in the right
Secrets of the cops are covering up the reasons
Oh I believe it, and I haven't seen it

Well I love him more, our sons we won't forget

Anywayz

You make me so angry
I love you, I love you
We keep up without you
So lonely, so lonely

For weeks still I see you
Come back, I want to feel you
The distance between us
Come back, I want to hear you say

We'll figure it out
We'll figure it out
We'll figure it out

But what if we don't
And the world keeps turning anyways
The flowers come up anyways
The mountains rise up anyways

But what if we don't
And the world keeps turning anyways
The flowers come up anyways
The mountains rise up anyways

I run my hands along your spine
When you're not with me
The shape of you I know completely
Body lifting
Mood shifting
Walk with me, walk with me
You don't make it easy
When I give up I hope you say

We'll figure it out
We'll figure it out
We'll figure it out

But what if we don't
And the world keeps turning anyways
The flowers come up anyways
The mountains rise up anyways

But what if we don't
And the world keeps turning anyways
The flowers come up anyways
The mountains rise up anyways

This isn't what you do
This isn't who I am
Can't be around me
This isn't what you want
Come back and change this shitty feeling
Every word of mine deserves to be acknowledged
This isn't what you do
This isn't who I am

But what if we don't
And the world keeps turning anyways
The flowers come up anyways
The mountains rise up anyways

But what if we don't
And the world keeps turning anyways
The flowers come up anyways
The mountains rise up anyways

All I Wanted

It doesn't matter what you say to me
'Cause I'm leaving tomorrow
It doesn't matter if you're sorry now
'Cause I'm leaving tomorrow

You fucked it up, what you did to me
You fucked it up, when you lied to me
And all I wanted was your love

It doesn't matter if you're sorry now
'Cause I'm leaving tomorrow
It doesn't matter who you care about
'Cause I'm leaving tomorrow

You fucked it up when you went away
You fucked it up, you won't sleep with me
When all I wanted was your love

Your love
Your love

Tell me baby, what did you lie
Tell me baby, why, why did you lie

It's what you did when you secretly called her
You went out on a date and you lied to me
Well, I checked your phone
Even though I saw it in motion, baby
Motion, baby
Motion, baby
Motion, baby

All I wanted was your love
All I wanted was your love
All I wanted was your love
All I wanted was your love

All I wanted was your love
All I wanted was your love

How Did You Know

There's a feeling I can't handle
When it's too hard to be standing
I wanna lie awake with you, stay
Do you wanna see a change

I'm in love with the feeling I had
From when your eyes were glazed
I'm in love with the feeling I had
From when we were stuck in a cloud

I can't help this feeling
It's too soon to be falling
I'm afraid to commit
But I still find myself looking
For one worthy of taking
On this pathway of guilt
I need protection from my thoughts
Are invading the room where
I lie awake

You bring it in, oh
You bring it into my house
Into my house

I've moved six times in the last five years, help me rest
I look for a place to be happy but the city doesn't change it
The only thing that's different
Somebody new I met

I can't help this feeling
It's too soon to be falling
I'm afraid to commit
But I still find myself looking
For one worthy of taking
On this pathway of guilt
I need protection from my thoughts
Are invading the room where
I lie awake

You bring it in, oh
You bring it into my house
Into my house

How did you know
How did you know
How did you know

Your Family

And when your family
Comes back to town
Do you know what you'll say
When they ask about me

And when your family
Comes back to town
Do you know what you'll say
When they ask about me

Oh
Don't
Shadows
Don't
Shadows
It don't

Goodbye to me
Don't
It don't
It don't
It don't
It don't

Goodbye
It don't

Risk It

Risk it
I wouldn't risk it, I wouldn't risk it
Risk it
Risk it
I wouldn't risk it, I wouldn't risk it
Risk it

In the deep
Don't wanna call you out
But I'm over it
Over it
I feel ashamed
It feels insane to seek you endlessly
Late night remedy
But oh girl, I just can't let you go
I'm too afraid to

Risk it
I wouldn't risk it, I wouldn't risk it
Risk it
Risk it
I wouldn't risk it, I wouldn't risk it
Risk it

Take a breath
I'm struggling to keep you left of me
It's slowly killing me
I know I should end it here with you
I'm too afraid
And ooh girl, I feel you everywhere
I'm too afraid to

Risk it
I wouldn't risk it, I wouldn't risk it
Risk it
Risk it
I wouldn't risk it, I wouldn't risk it
Risk it
Risk it
I wouldn't risk it, I wouldn't risk it
Risk it
Risk it
I wouldn't risk it, I wouldn't risk it
Risk it

It's Amazing

Under the fabric I pull
It's amazing
It's amazing
Sweet lips and heavy dreams
It's amazing
Oh, it's amazing

Burning inside our cavern
It's amazing
Oh, it's amazing

Oh, do you feel it
Should I really believe it
Or is it just another game
I'm here, do you see me
Do you really believe me
Is your perception gonna change
I don't wanna be afraid
I don't wanna be a fool
It's just another game
I don't wanna be afraid
I don't wanna be a fool
It's just another game

Instead of biting I pull
It's amazing
Well, it's amazing
Hoping to please, never fail
It's amazing
Oh, it's amazing

Oh do you feel it
Should I really believe it
Or is it just another game
I'm here, do you see me
Do you really believe me
Is your perception gonna change
I don't wanna be afraid
I don't wanna be a fool
It's just another game
I don't wanna be afraid
I don't wanna be a fool
It's just another game

Mountain Baby

Climbing a mountain
To get to the top
One and another keeping on
Not knowing why or what
I might find up there
Scratches crawl up my legs from
The desert trees

I sit and wonder
Sit and wonder
Do my mistakes
Keep me at the gate

I'll never be better than you
And me standin' at the top with a clear view

If I lose my way I don't care
If I lose my way I don't care
I got someone like you with me
My mountain baby
If I lose my way I don't care
If I lose my way I don't care
I got someone like you with me
My mountain baby
My mountain baby

Still between us
Between us
There's a limit to
What you and I can take

If I lose my way I don't care
If I lose my way I don't care
I got someone like you with me
My mountain baby
If I lose my way I don't care
If I lose my way I don't care
I got someone like you with me
My mountain baby

Climbing a mountain to get to the top
One and another keeping on
Not knowing why or what
I might find up there
Scratches crawl up my legs from the desert trees

If I lose my way I don't care
If I lose my way I don't care
I got someone like you with me
My mountain baby

I Am Not Waiting

Run away from betweens
With your hands above your head
Run away like you never believed in anything else
Run away from betweens
With your hands above your head
Run away like you never believed in anything at all
Anything at all

When do the seasons change
When does the ripe fruit fall
Into our laps for taking
A sweetness I've been craving

I am not wailing
For you no more
You've had a warning
You just ignored
I am a mountain
Grown out of work
You've never caved in
I'm over you

I'm over you
I'm over you
I'm over you
I'm over you
I'm over you
I'm over you

I'm over you
I'm over you
I'm over you
I'm over you
I'm over you
I'm over you

Run away from betweens
With your hands above your head
Run away like you never believed in anything else
Run away from betweens
With your hands above your head
Run away like you never believed in anything at all
Anything at all

I am not wailing
For you no more
You've had a warning
You just ignored
I am a mountain
Grown out of work
You've never caved in
I'm over you

I'm over you
I'm over you
I'm over you
I'm over you
I'm over you
I'm over you

I'm over you
I'm over you
I'm over you
I'm over you
I'm over you
I'm over you
I'm over you

You owe me a romance
We fear we're confessing
Maybe you're just jealous
I'm so tired of listening to you

Will you help yourself now
Like love asks you to

Run away from betweens
With your hands above your head
Run away like you never believed in anything else
Anything at all

Messiah

As I stand, I'm not a messiah
So take me down back to the ground
I'm not your answer
I can't be your escape
You've raised me up, I'm in the sky

Don't be surprised when I can't deliver
The pulse you need, this old machine
Don't be surprised, when I can't deliver
A heavy breath, mountain of steam

There may be gaps, my words may be broken
In spite of this, give me your hand
I will not lift you but I can guide you
I'll be your shadow you'll be the light

A balance will settle between us
You'll be the body
I'll be the spine

Habitat

(Habitat EP)

Deep down there it was, you're all I had
Tumble into the bed, I'm brave, I'm there
I can't find the words to break your curse
Something inside the book, ooh it hurts

It was a knife, I found a knife
Buried inside the bed, elixer of life

I want you, oh
I need you, brother
I want you, oh
I need you, brother
Another copy paste from aotr
Who would've thought anything got
The night is young tonight
Feeling extreme, I want you to breathe
A thirst of your own fire

Digging into, to burn into
The night is young tonight
Deep into space I look for your face
A sparkle of the light I bear below

I want you, oh
I need you, brother
I want you, oh
I need you, brother

Coming into connection with you
It makes my soul aroused
Burns so clear, it's like a machine
The force of hand and fire

Either subdue, I found it in you
The animals are there
Shimmering through the evil in you
The dark is in the dark

I want you, oh
I need you
I want you, oh
I need...

I want you, oh
I need you, brother
I want you, oh
I need you, brother...
