Incorporating moody folk and hushed electronics in ways that recall Cat Power as well as the xx, Daughter began as the solo project of singer/guitarist Elena Tonra. Tonra was performing on her own when she met guitarist Igor Haefeli, who joined Daughter along with drummer Remi Aguilella to complete the band's lineup. The trio self-released a demo as well as their 2011 debut EP, His Young Heart, which led to Mumford & Sons' label Communion releasing their second EP, the more polished and eclectic The Wild Youth, later that year. Early in 2012, Daughter signed with 4AD, which released the single Smother that October. The band's debut album, If You Leave, arrived in April 2013. After an extensive tour in support of the debut, Daughter reentered the studio to begin recording their second album, Not to Disappear. The record was primarily self-recorded, after which they took it to Nicolas Vernhes (Deerhunter, War on Drugs, Animal Collective), who produced the final mixes at his Rare Book Room studio in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. It was released in early 2016. For their next project, Daughter composed a score to the video game Life Is Strange: Before the Storm. The track "Burn It Down" was issued as the soundtrack's first single in August 2017. A year later, Tonra released an eponymous album under the solo moniker Ex:Re.
If You Leave Winter Drifting apart like two sheets of ice, my love Frozen hearts growing colder with time There's no heat from our mouths Please take me back to when I was yours When we were in flames I needed, I needed you To run through my veins Like disease, disease And now we are strange Strangers It's different now Grey-faced Eyes burnt out Flames are gone My gloves are on I have a feeling Love's gone mad We're too similar Losing our minds With cabin fever, Shut in confined spaces Lost in the dark, My hand taken Resting on your heart When we were in flames, I needed, I needed you To run through my veins, like disease, disease And now we are strange, strangers Wait for me to degrade before You go Killing prey for Waste of Daylight Speaks when Slumber's keeping Under the bed Out of revenge I'm derailing While you've been staining our sheets With some piece of me With some piece of me Oh, winter comes Oh, winter crush all of the things that I once loved Winter come Winter crush all of the things that I once had Smother I'm wasted, losing time I'm a foolish, fragile spine I want all that is not mine I want him but we're not right In the darkness I will meet my creators And they will all agree, that I'm a suffocator I should go now quietly For my bones have found a place to lie down and sleep Where all my layers can become reeds All my limbs can become trees All my children can become me What a mess I leave To follow To follow To follow To follow In the darkness I will meet my creators They will all agree, that I'm a suffocator Suffocator Suffocator Oh no I'm sorry if I smothered you I'm sorry if I smothered you I sometimes wish I'd stayed inside my mother Never to come out Youth Shadows settle on the place, that you left Our minds are troubled by the emptiness Destroy the middle, it's a waste of time From the perfect start to the finish line And if you're still breathing, you're the lucky ones 'Cause most of us are heaving through corrupted lungs Setting fire to our insides for fun Collecting names of the lovers that went wrong The lovers that went wrong We are the reckless We are the wild youth Chasing visions of our futures One day we'll reveal the truth That one will die before he gets there And if you're still bleeding, you're the lucky ones 'Cause most of our feelings, they are dead and they are gone We're setting fire to our insides for fun Collecting pictures from a flood that wrecked our home It was a flood that wrecked this home And you caused it And you caused it And you caused it Well I've lost it all, I'm just a silhouette I'm a lifeless face that you'll soon forget My eyes are damp from the words you left Ringing in my head, when you broke my chest Ringing in my head, when you broke my chest And if you're in love, then you are the lucky one 'Cause most of us are bitter over someone Setting fire to our insides for fun To distract our hearts from ever missing them But I'm forever missing him And you caused it And you caused it And you caused it Still I'll wrap up my bones And leave them Out of this home Out on the road Two feet standing on a principle Two hands longing for each others warmth Cold smoke seeping out of colder throats Darkness falling, leaves nowhere to go It's spiraling down Biting words like a wolf howling Hate is spitting out each others mouths But we're still sleeping like we're lovers Still with feet touching Still with eyes meeting Still our hands match Still with hearts beating Still with feet touching Still with eyes meeting Still our hands match Still with hearts beating Still with feet touching Still with eyes meeting Still our hands match Still with hearts beating Two feet standing on a principle Two hands digging in each others wounds Cold smoke seeping out of colder throats Darkness falling, leaves nowhere to move It's spiraling down Biting words like a wolf howling Hate is spitting out each others mouths But we're still sleeping like we're lovers Still with feet touching Still with eyes meeting Still our hands match Still with hearts beating Still with feet touching Still with eyes meeting Still our hands match Still with hearts beating Still with feet touching Still with eyes meeting Still our hands match Still with hearts beating I'll wrap up my bones And leave them Out of this home Out on the road Two feet standing on a principle Two hands longing for each others warmth Cold smoke seeping out of colder throats Darkness falling, leaves nowhere to go Lifeforms From the beginning Small lifeforms They can kill without warning So you don't explode Stop your growing limbs and thinking That you love them now you're blinking And reminding her of him Oh you steal his features And your mother is a bleacher She don't even feel the heat no She don't even want to speak to you But you, you always find another place to go Oh you, you always find another womb to grow, to grow, to grow Well you can try to sink down deeply And find the children lost at sea Find the children who discretely Were killed in infancy To stop them holding you and screaming That you'll lose your wildest dreaming Still reminding you of him How he left without reasons But you, you always find another place to go Oh you, you always find another womb to grow, to grow, to grow You can try to forget me but I won't let you easily You can try to forget me but I won't let you easily I'm floating out in the water washed out to sea Drifting away with time you'll regret you've conceived it Clean up the dead you leave behind Just like insects Clean up the dead you leave behind Tomorrow By tomorrow we'll be swimming with the fishes Leave our troubles in the sand And when the sun comes up We'll be nothing but dust Just the outlines of our hands By tomorrow we'll be lost amongst the leaves In a wind that chills the skeletons of trees And when the moon, it shines, I will leave two lines Just find my love, then find me Don't bring tomorrow 'Cause I already know I'll lose you Don't bring tomorrow 'Cause I already know I'll lose you I'll lose you By tomorrow I'll be left in the darkness Amongst your cold sheets And your shoes will be gone And your body warmth no longer beside me But don't bring tomorrow 'Cause I already know I'll lose you Don't bring tomorrow 'Cause I already know I'll lose I'll lose You
Human Woken up like an animal Teeth ready for sinking My mind's lost in bleak visions I've tried to escape but keep sinking Limbs lost to a dead-weight stake Skull cage like a prison And he's lost faith he'll ever see again So may he once thought of me then Underneath the skin there's a human Buried deep within there's a human And despite everything I'm still human But I think I'm dying here Woken up like an animal I'm un-ready for healing My mind's lost with nightmares streaming Woken up (kicking screaming) Take me out of this place I'm in Break me out of this shell-like case I'm in Underneath the skin there's a human Buried deep within there's a human And despite everything I'm still human I think that I'm still human I think that I'm still human I think that I'm still human Underneath the skin there's a human Buried deep within there's a human And despite everything I'm still human But I think I'm dying here Touch Love hunt me down I can't stand to be so dead behind the eyes And feed me, spark me up A creature in my blood stream chews me up So I can feel something So I can feel something Give me touch 'Cause I've been missing it I'm dreaming of Strangers Kissing me in the night Just so I Just so I Can feel something Can feel something Can feel something Can feel something You steal me away With your eyes and with your mouth And just take me back to a room in your house And stare at me with the lights off To feel something To feel something To feel something To feel something In the night In the night In the night When we touch In the night 'Cause I've been lusting it Amsterdam Skin off like lightning Breathing flames from tourist trade Your eyes go quite frightening You lock your gaze on to my face Heavy eyed Crawling on the roadside Swinging from the street lights I hope by the morning I will have grown back By the morning I will have grown back I'll escape with him Show him all my skin Then I'll go I'll go home Amsterdam I'm a flying kite in the breeze just Restlessly seeking images a child needs to help them sleep I've been thinking that I should see someone Just to find out if I'm alright By the morning I will have grown back By the morning I will have grown back I'll escape with him Show him all my skin Then I'll go I'll go home Amsterdam I used to dream of Adventure When I was younger With lungs miniature But now we're killing Our brain cells Is this called living Or something else Or something else By the morning I will have grown back By the morning I will have grown back By the morning I will have grown back By the morning I will have grown back Shallows Let the water rise Let the ground crack Let me fall inside Lying on my back Lying on my back Dry your smoke-stung eyes So you can see the light You're staring at the sky Watching stars collide Watching stars collide If you leave When I go Find me In the shallows When the time comes On the last day When they start to come down Will you just Will you run away Will you run away And let it all rain down From the blood stained clouds Come out, come out, to the sea my love And just Drown with me Drown with me If you leave When I go Find me In the shallows Lying on my back Watching stars collide
Smoke (Japanese Bonus Track) In a smoke filled room With your father watching me There's three doors and no keys It's rising, it's choking me In a smoke filled room In a smoke filled room There's a man with no face Just a blurred out portrait In a photo frame I'm losing again, I'm losing my friend He's face down on the pavement Then a woman, she screams It's a terrible night As the mood changes to dark from light Tell the doctor what's become of me So you can analyse, analyse my dreams Of a smoke filled room Of a smoke filled room And then we kiss and his lips turn into sand And the whole of him cascades through my hands Making a castle on the floor Then I'm alone again No keys and three doors And a smoke filled room Now we're both in the room And we're breathing the fumes No doors this time, just a gap in the roof Life floods in, heaven, we're blind And slowly suffocating, we're dying In a smoke filled room We're dying in a smoke filled room We're dying in a smoke filled room (In a smoke filled room) In a smoke filled room In a smoke filled room In a smoke filled room

How long must I wait for you To become what I need Holding old souvenirs His words inked from birthdays Goodbye to our empty ruins Yeah, that's when I saw her Hold me back Hold me back All I am All I am How long before the last dance How come he was the one to let me down How come they glow different in the evening How come they stare distant into daylight Like it's alright Like it's alright Mothers Oh we'll grow all you need to grow inside my spine And then take what you need to take, what's yours is mine And then just give all you want of it to some new thing I'll stay here, the provider of that constant sting they call love They call love Oh we'll drain all you need to drain out of me All the colors have washed away, no more rosy sheen Now just a pale isolated shell, oh what a place Oh what a place I call myself I call myself Oh love all you need to love before it goes When your face becomes a stranger's I don't know You'll never remember who I was to you Carried in the womb Of a cold mother A cold mother They call home They call home They call They call Mothers Mothers Give all you need to give But sometimes they won't take what they need to take The strangest chemical reactions Inside of her brain, no she's not the same No she's not the same No she's not the same Alone / With You I hate sleeping alone Terrified with the lights out I hate living alone Talking to myself is boring conversation Me and I are not friends She is only an acquaintance I hate dreaming of being alone 'Cause you are never there Just a shadowy figure with a blank face Kicking me out of his place I hate walking alone I should get a dog or something I hate eating alone I hate eating alone I hate sleeping with you Cause you are never there Just a shadowy figure with a blank face Kicking me out of his place I hate living with you I should get a dog or something I hate walking with you Talking to myself is boring conversation You and I were once friends Now you're only an acquaintance I hate dreaming of being with you I hate dreaming of being with you I hate dreaming of being with you Terrified with the lights out Terrified with the lights out No Care No one asks me for dances because I only know how to flail I always look like I'm drowning, dead arms around him I'd rather stand still, hold tightly to the walls No care, no care in the world No care, no care in the world I don't care, I don't care anymore I don't care, I don't care Love you looked panicked because I prefer to sit on fences Spit-kissing on my sick bed I'm not searching for replacements But we are like broken instruments Twisted up and wheezing out the wrong notes Sleepless folks watching light grow Through their early morning windows I don't care, I don't care anymore I don't care, I don't care Oh, I'm too drunk to fight, hurlings curses at your surface Because I'm aware, because it hurts that I'm in love again And you laugh kiss my neck say your arguments are insane Fighting over the way something was said While I'm stood here like a cheap threat No care, no care in the world No care, no care in the world I don't care, I don't care anymore I don't care, I don't care Oh, there has only been one time where we fucked And I felt like a bad memory Like my spine was a reminder of her And you said that you felt sick Oh I was so heavy hearted, lying silent with you afterwards How I wanted you to promise we would only make love How I wanted you to promise we would only make love How I wanted you to promise we'd only make love But my mouth felt like I was choking, broken glass So I just slept it off You see, my mouth felt like it could talk the end of us So I just slept it off, slept it off No care, no care in the world No care, no care I don't care, I don't care anymore I don't care, I don't care Ah, I'm too drunk to fight I only wanted you to promise we would only ever make love But my mouth felt like I was choking, broken glass So I just slept it off I wanted you to promise me we would only ever make love I wanted you to promise me we would only ever make love To Belong Don't you think you'll be better off Without me tied around your neck, it's like the weight your Body pulls me underneath where I can't breathe I'm tired of talking, I've been screaming all day Don't you think we'll be better off Without temptation to regress, to fake tenderness Waiting to see someone we won't know for long In cities we'll only leave Don't you think we'd be better off Without the pressure to address A room of faces Waiting to hear some strange woman speak in tongues On lonely fridays oh my loveless drunk, baby Loveless drunk, baby I don't want to belong, I don't want to belong I don't want to belong, to you, to anyone I don't want to belong, I don't want to belong I don't want to belong, to you, to anyone I don't want to belong, I don't want to belong Don't you think we'd be better off Without the pressure to address A room of faces Waiting to hear some strange women speak in tongues On lonely fridays oh my loveless drunk, baby Loveless drunk, baby Fossa I said too much, said the wrong thing Remembering the image I was trying to project to you Casting illusion, think I'm losing my head Sometimes I feel Be what you want, I can be what you want Be what you want, I can't be what you want Be what you want, I can be what you want Be what you want, I can't be what you want I don't know you now But I'm lying here, somehow I feel sick You're drowning in the pit of my stomach Oh I know it's my fault While you're busy diving down I find I feel alone (I feel fine, I feel fine, I feel fine) Feel a little out of my mind (I feel fine, I feel fine, I feel fine) Oh I'm stuck, I've said too much I'm going, mad Checking checking, waiting waiting For some kind of response from you Let me know I haven't opened up The floodgates again, to another man Who controls the pain but never says anything Anything Anything I don't owe you much But I'll miss you so I'll miss him I feel sick You're drowning in the pit of my stomach You don't know that I'm caught Thinking you remind me of someone I can face no more I've gotta get him out of my mind While you're busy diving down I find I feel alone I feel alone I've gotta get him out of mind While you're busy diving down I find I feel alone I feel alone I feel alone Made Of Stone What if I'm made of stone Feeling is not a system Nervous I'm caught in a hold Hoping I'm overthinking I should be feeling more Draped over your bones Paint colours up the walls To spread our inspirations You are the likely cause Of what will be my demise Oh it's not surprising Just inconvenient To play no part in All of the instruments Seem to be sounding out ''It's premature'' I think I'm made of stone I should be feeling more Love It's just face-painting Love It's just easing the waiting Before dying without company I think I'm made of stone I think we are all Built out of memory Built out of scenes Structures of whispers Pass through our veins Laid out on screens Show our tiny heads ''You'll find love kid, it exists'' The End This is the end This is the end You will wait to find that I'm still here And you've been waiting for the light to shine Wake up, wake up, wake up I'll be the answer to the question I can answer, it's a question You can't spit it out, can we find We find, we find a way out, a way out It's easier to understand We die, we're buried underground But I have stayed awake since then I'm trying to find a new best friend You instigate, come after chasing Oh, what the hell should I say, then I've missed you Let's spend the future talking about the past How you said goodbye How I fucked your mind up Well, you really are something else I'd say you were sent here Just to keep me in check My pulse is quick, my neck is stretched Cruel lover says I need to just Get over it, get over him Get over myself They say there's something in our sky We should pay attention I don't care to realize I'm too busy moping They say there's something in our seas We should all be careful I'm not swimming anyway I'm too busy moping They say there's something in my house That I should just get out, get out I don't want to be escaping No, I'm too busy moping around I'm too busy moping around I'm too busy moping around I'm too busy moping around I'm too busy moping around Take a run home, I don't like where you're going Run home, I don't like what you're saying Run home, I don't like where you're going Run home, I don't like what you're saying Take a run home, I don't like where you're

Where The Time Went You could open with your failings Make them understand, show the love notes Make them picture with their eyes closed Make them wonder where the time goes Keep your distance south of river Draw a line, they are not together Make it screech, stop, wait, turn red Make me wonder where the time went You will not save me a stand-off Be not a stranger land here I will leave this empty-handed Feeling selfish, common as shit Leave me question where your heart lends How you open-wounded withstand Lead me into some false pretence I will ruin you in a second Leave it up to interpretation Open-ended invitation And your wedding, I could crash it Whisper in your ear “God, I missed you It's been too much, I can’t stand it” Then I cried there in the staff room Selling my seats to your concert I won't stomach it if I see you Walking so tall, I can't reach you Happier, pretty picture With some new pretty little blue You will not save me a stand-off You will not save me a stand-off Crushing Lean back half-rolled cigarette Not speaking at all There's no one else out here It's clear I waited too long I guess attention spans are lessening It's a lesson in humans using machines To show their feelings (Who, who, who, who) Where did you go I can't wait more hours, I'm ever solo Longing for you to please be an adult And use your mouth In ways that I can't right now 'Cause I'm choking up I'm crushing, crushing I'll loosen up, it's not like it meant a lot We were drunk once, it's not like we were some dream Combination, we were made as friends (I'm crushing) I guess attention spans are lessening It's a lesson in humans using machines (Crushing) To show their feelings (Who, who, who, who) All adventures, they were in my head I created life for them Sleepless wandering the earth I lit myself up, now I don't get hurt I'm crushing (Who, who, who, who) Crushing (Who, who, who, who) I'm crushing I guess attention spans are lessening It's a lesson in humans using machines (Crushing) To show their feelings (Who, who, who, who, I'm crushing) I guess attention spans are lessening It's a lesson in humans using machines (Crushing) To show their feelings (Who, who, who, who) New York I was drunk "New York, New York" I saw a small white rabbit climbing down the Empire State I must have been hallucinating I am seeing things I'm missing They told me Stella from across the street is dead Painted fake bricks on the front because house sales are slow And Stella was kind to me even though She didn't know the fantasies I made around her The pictures he drew Two broken legs, open-toed shoes Shark fishing in the pavements Shark fishing in the pavements I'm hallucinating I'm seeing things I'm missing I went back to your street I saw my friends in love, have children I felt empty and alone there Talking other people's good things Pining for my own share Still, I raged through, wine-wasted, shit-faced, solo, so what? So long, I had no real plans It wasn't work, no, it wasn't holiday It was just time and space Unpaid intoxication, images I didn't need Man, I really want to see you Hallucinating I'm seeing things I miss him Well, forgive me, I can't keep it in I'm speaking over and over in his codes Did I ever show you that book he made me? White rabbit, New York, it's a fake He's plagiarised his love letters from some time before For someone before me Seems he is very conscious of the world He recycles, he recycles his words Seems he is very conscious of the world He recycles, he recycles his words I'm seeing things I'm missing I miss him and I hate it I'm seeing things I'm missing I miss him and I hate it I'm drunk "New York, New York" I'm drunk "New York, New York" (New York) (New York) Romance And in the night, it was a drunken stutter Started as a next to nothing conversation And then he's tearing me out Taking me apart at my friend's house I was uncomfortable, I was hurt Still with blue innocence in his eyes I felt my reasoning was harsh With every stab wound and exhale, I promised myself That I would never lose my useful fears of grown up men I'm scarred with cruel intentions I thought of another the whole time Who would have never stared me like that See, he saw me as a human This one thinks I'm a slaughterhouse He pretends that he's understanding And you know in the grand scheme of everything He's probably called a nice man Or an ordinary kind of man Or a stereotype with strong hands, I'm so sad At how little joy I realized within my time with my ex guy Before these statues arrived Romance is dead and done And it hits between the eyes on this side The grass is dead and barren And it hurts between my thighs on this side I could begin to open up and risk desire For I move slower and quieter than most I grew up too quick and I still forgive too slow Oh, I wish there was another way Romance is dead and done And it hits between the eyes on this side The grass is dead and barren And it hurts between my thighs on this side See me here, meet me here I don't care if it's not repeated I want to know who you are For every second we outrun the moon, dread the sun come up I want to know who you are So I don't have to check my stuff's still here when you're gone I want to know who you are I want to know who you were Romance is dead and done And it hits between the eyes on this side The grass is dead and barren And it hurts between my thighs on this side This side This side This side This side The Dazzler The night is young at the Dazzler I spiked my own drink, took myself to bed Alone I pondered the cheap frills of hotels The miniatures, the endless throwaway towels One for my hair, one for my foot Another for my other foot My face, my neck, my spilled beverages Drunk in my hotel room, I look perfect I look like I'm 24 before I caught your coldness God, I'm gorgeous I keep begging for late checkouts Let me stay here, let me live here In room 232 till I expire, I can shower for hours Leave the lights on, I'm not paying those bills The neighbours are quiet, no one is

Too late, too late You liar, you liar, you liar (liar) What you're doing to me now, ouch What you're doing to me now, ouch What you’re doing to me now, ouch I Can’t Keep You Oh the rain, it's constant Never mind if I'm awakened Throwing stones against my windows Sounds a lot like young love Yeah, I wouldn't know I was always terrified of touching Yeah, I wouldn't know I always thought my eyes would burn Then the days come blurring Into one long drone And caffeine I was tryna make a home for myself here to come clean But I end up writing naked daydreams Got sober, I spent my rent on Shimmer-glitter white teeth, hyper-color self-esteem Then the evenings, and the sight of you in my kitchen You come around here to get high And I sometimes find you childish And I sometimes find you mesmerising And I one time found your mouth when we hid behind refrigerator I can't keep you a constant secret, sweetness When I keep thinking about it, late Oh, I keep thinking about you, hey Oh the rain, it's constant Doesn't care if I'm awakened Throwing stones against my windows Sounds a lot like young love Yeah, I wouldn't know I was always terrified of touching Yeah, I wouldn't know I always thought I'd go blind from touching, how sweet Oh, I keep thinking about it, late Oh, I keep thinking about you, hey 5AM It’s a 5AM wake up call, you're screaming And all I could do was look through the gap in the window Scared, shut in, see no one's helping No bystanders, then you disappeared I’m not sure, I think there was an altercation It all too often happens down my road Broken glass bottles and the blood-spat pavements Cruelty trails I’m just so sorry about what happened I can't imagine how you must have felt Burning And what about that man that hurt you Did he just go home and take off his shoes Did he lie quite calmly against his lover Did he even once think about the pain he'd caused to another Oh, you can try and sleep well But cruelty trails You can try and sleep well But cruelty trails My Heart When you laughed at my plan And you mocked all my words I knew then you were worse, you'd forgotten to love In your hands, in your hands, my heart And the sun was unclean And the morning the same Contorting in the dark In the bedroom you made A fuss of the stars, too bright for your eyes In your hands, my heart And the morning's your curse And the sun still unwashed Oh, we loved till it hurt It was crushing me, love In the night, I knew was the last In your hands, in your hands, my heart And, of course, you went there Like vertigo on a bridge The river drunk howling like dogs And I, running on fumes, spat flames till it scarred you "Fall away! Go! Find your escape route!" In your hands, in your hands, my heart When you sheltered yourself And cut off the phone Well, I knew then you weren't hurt You've forgotten how to love Oh the artist shall suffer 'Cause he's scratching his back Till there's blood in his nails Well you make yourself ill with the lies that you tell Still, in your hands, in your hands, my heart My heart, my heart, my heart

Light flash and all the colours drained fast Now I'm getting sweet nothings from a ghost in the room Get so heavy when I think of you When we're apart, it's when I start Glowing in the dark On my telephone I just long to know What's the future like Is there time enough Future lover I'm not trying to creep you out Seen a fair amount of misty-eyed actors And split-screens have always raised my suspicions Are you listening for sweet nothings from a ghost in the room Get so heavy when I think of you I lie awake always thе way It's always a trap, the insomniac Buzzing at the back On my telеphone (future lover) I just long to know (left to wonder) What's the future like (wait another year) Is there time enough (left to bother) Future lover I lie awake always the way It's always a trap, the insomniac Buzzing at the back (Sweet nothings from a ghost in the room) (Get so heavy when I think of you) I lie awake always the way It's always a trap, the insomniac Buzzing at the back (Sweet nothings from a ghost in the room) (Get so heavy when I think of you) On my telephone (future lover) I just long to know (left to wonder) What's the future like (wait another year) Is there time enough Sweet nothings from a ghost in the room Get so heavy when I think of you Sweet nothings from a ghost in the room Get so heavy when I think of you Sweet nothings from a ghost in the room Get so heavy when I think of you Sweet nothings from a ghost in the room Get so heavy when I think of you (Missed Calls) Is it me Is it me (Or is it me) Or is it me A dream, dream, dream, dream Dream Is it me Is it me Answering machine I had a dream You had a child You had a child Dream Is it me Far away Far away Isolation The odds are stacked against us, friend I know that our short time depends on it No, we can't treat it lightly Oh it will likely kill me That I must live without you 'Cause I can't swim To be here in distant dream Full-knowing we're incomplete The odds are stacked against our love I'm always waking up when he is sleeping still The catalyst I know I plummet to the depths With no reasoning, one reason was The birds singing, I curled in a ball And thought of you and all you meant I'll compose myself, I'll get over it Though I can't tell if this is better To be left another lesson learned Learned Learned Learned To Rage Where were you going In deep Where were you though When we needed you most I left the room destroyed Oh you know me in more ways than that I split the walls for warmth I shook your town, I smashed the floors To rage, my love, back there Well, someone had to I'd never loved a living thing so much I was not equipped to just Sit and watch you quit on us Where were you going In deep Where were you though When we needеd you most I left the room distraught You know me in morе ways than that Keeps me awake still now Retracing what happened I had to rage, my love, back then Someone had to Where were you though Wish I Could Cross The Sea Nocturnal little animals You keep your mother up You watch the town shut down You watch the lights go off Shutters closing in the bars Nocturnal animals You keep my brother up Wish I could cross the sea Just to watch glistening Far off streets with you With you Nocturnal little animals You keep each other up

dolls, they do They do Poke (Frightened Rabbit) Poke at my iris Why can't I cry about this Maybe there is something that you know that I don't We adopt a brand new language Communicate through pursed lips And you try not to put on any sexy clothes or graces I might never catch a mouse And present it in my mouth To make you feel you're with someone who deserves to be with you But there's one thing we've got going And it's the only thing worth knowing And it's got lots to do with magnets and the pull of the moon Why won't our love keel over as it chokes on a bone And we can mourn its passing And then bury it in snow Or should we kick its cunt in And watch as it dies from bleeding If you don't want to be with me just say and I will go Well we can change our partners This is a progressive dance but Remember it was me who dragged you up to the sweaty floor Well this has been a reel I've got shin-splints and a stitch from we But like a drunken night it's the best bits that are coloured in You should look through some old photos I adored you in every one of those If someone took a picture of us now they'd need to be told That we had ever clung and tied A navy knot with arms at night I'd say she was his sister but she doesn't have his nose And now we're unrelated and rid of all the shit we hated But I hate it when I feel like this And I never hated you Run (Demos EP) While I powder my nose He will powder his gums And if I try to get close He is already gone Don't know where he's going Don't know where he's been But he is restless at night 'Cause he has horrible dreams So we lay in the dark We've got nothing to say Just the beating of hearts Like two drums in the grey I don't know what we're doing I don't know what we've done But the fire is coming So I think we should run I think we should run, run, run, run Run, run, run, run Run, run, run, run Run, run, run While I put on my shoes He will button his coat And we will step outside Checking might the coast is clear On both sides 'Cause we don't wanna be seen Oh, this is suicide But you can't see the ropes And I won't tell my mother It's better she don't know And he won't tell his folks 'Cause they're already ghosts And we'll just keep each other As safe as we can Until we reach the border Until we make our plan To run, run, run, run To run, run, run, run To run, run, run, run Will you stay with me my love For another day 'Cause I don't want to be alone When I'm in this state Will you stay with me my love 'Til we're old and grey 'Cause I don't wanna be alone When these bones decay Run, run, run, run Oh run, run, run, run Run, run, run, run And run, run, run, run Run, run, run, run Run, run, run, run While I powder my nose He will powder his gums And if I try to get close He is already gone Don't know what we're doing Don't know what we've done But the fire is coming So I think we should run Switzerland (His Young Heart EP) And I And I And I And I, and you And you, let it go And I, let it go Undead He said take me down to hell Because I think I'd fit in well You see, his life was full of sins And he's done some evil things That he don't tell He said take me back to yours, I got something to show ya You must have a beautiful corpse And I would like to get to know ya When the lights they went out His eyes were red And it's only me and him now And we were the undead We are the undead So we sat in someone's car And I showed him all my scars A little secret that's just ours It's all ours When the lights they went out His eyes were red And it's only me and him now And we were the undead We are the undead So they took him down to hell Because they said he'd fit in well You see, his life was full of sins And he's done some evil things That he don't tell When the lights they went out His eyes were red And it's only me and him now And we were the undead Then the lights they went out His eyes were red And it's only me and him down And we were the undead Then the lights, they came on And the doctor said You're doing well, you're doing so, so well After three bullets in your head You're doing well, you're doing so, so well After three bullets in your head The Woods (His Young Heart EP) I asked Saint Christopher To find your sister And she ran out in the woods And she ran out in the woods Oh, it was certain then And we were trying to stop the winter Killing all it could Killing all it could And I pray a lot for you And I look out for you We are what we are Don't need no excuses For the scars From our mothers And we know what we know 'Cause we're made of all the little bones Of our fathers And I pray a lot for you And I look out for you And I pray a lot for you And I look out for you I asked Saint Christopher To find your sister She ran out in the woods 'Cause she ran out in the woods Your Kisses (Demos EP) You always find the rain in rainbows and I thought that you were safe, but all your cracks showed And I could wear that dress, you won't look your best I could get undressed, you'd still look depressed It's all too much, you're so cold to touch You don't open up, you don't open up Your kisses are not what I wanted Your kisses are not what I crave Your kisses may be a beautiful art But all I ever wanted was your heart Right from the start You only look into my eyes when I've been cryin' to see if the tears that you have made are slowly dryin' Oh, but even if they've dried, it don't mean that I'm feelin ok 'cause I'm still sad inside All I really need is you to comfort me You don't understand, you don't hold my hand 'Cause your kisses are not what I wanted Your kisses are not what I crave Your kisses may be a beautiful art But all I ever wanted was your heart Right from the start Then I see that I'm not the only one in your life And I start to wonder what this girl, she might be like And I bet she don't look at stars in the night I bet she can't sing, I bet she can't write the lyrics to make your heart beat Sing notes to make you go weak Oh, the lyrics to make your heart beat Sing notes to make you go weak Oh, but her kisses were just what you wanted Her kisses are just what you crave Her kisses may be a beautiful art But she don't really care about your heart No, she don't really care about your heart No, she don't really care about your She don't really care about your She don't really care about your Heart
