and when i woke the wolves were out to wrap my skin around their fingers
my city bore me in its hands but cut its cord and dug me graves for twenty winters
and i was tired
and it was dawn
but i watched wolves carry on
and drag my life across their floorboards out of town
the wolves were out and they bit down
look, the world's coming out like a nightbird
fallen quiet, little lightbulb flicker in my bed
and the wind, how it howls in the parking lot
little pillow, put some rest to my head
oh, world, you've always had me
oh, world, you've had enough of me
when all i've asked you for is happy
all i beg you for, all night you for
oh beautiful? no
then why am i so

Dance With Me - Demo

said the devil to my soul, "breathe it in - this time alone"
pretty woman, settle in; you were born to fickle skin
watch the rain bleed in your step, make the night one to forget
and every loving word i've ever known's a foreign garden road
every love, a summer rain - watch the world turn ripe again
and every day, the cold comes through - taken back to me & you
and all that i stormed through
crucify me with your eyes, parted lips, and petty lies
"look how beautiful you'll be" says the man who'll dance with me
and every thought of love i'd ever cried became a cold goodbye
no more dancing in the storm, heavy heart stops growing warm
and every stupid thing i'd ever heard became unspoken words
no more pretty as can be, i was born to dance with me
said the bedsheets to my skin: humble down and cuddle in,
play pretend in dreams of sin, weakened under boyish grin
and every other man who passes by can see right through me
no more clouds of feeble hope, dreams of lovers - now, i know
pretty girls? achilles heel. do they feel the way i feel.
pretty woman? foreign dream. what does it all mean?

Winter - Demo

i couldn't resist him, that was it
i said my lines
i watch his breath, unawares
i watch his lovers through the autumn air
and i watch him smile across at me
i know i'm a hopeless heavy heart
i saw the signs
i watched the night take him back
he says goodbye through liquor's looking glass
and i brave the snow at ten to three
and i've got no one sleeping in my sheets
i'm bleeding someone, what the hell is wrong with me
and you're no good for loving, and i'm one more dream to crazy, so it seems
no
i'm not good for loving
the winter's coming into me
i can't resist him, that's all
i know i lied
i hum his songs every hour
we sing in sleet and he goes home to her
and i feel his eyes weaken my knees
i know i'm a hidden heavy heart, i play my part, i get a kick out of it
with every passing hour i think of him
and i hope his smiling smells of me
and now i've got someone sleeping in my sheets
so close to no one, what the hell is wrong with me
and you're no good for loving
and i lie, my mind is hazy, so it seems
no, i'm no good for loving
see christmas coming into me
all hell's been undone in between my sheets
i've cursed each someone, what the hell is wrong with me
you might be good for loving but i guess you're not so good for loving me
just hold me like you've done and i'll feel enough then
not good for loving, see christmas coming
not good at all dear, well in the new year.... maybe
i couldn't resist him, that was it
i know i lied
i watch him breathe, unawares

and you're a six string joke
watch the smoke from their lips grow higher
and your heart's an auction bid and your mind is on fire
and i'll dream of icicle men to freeze our fears to snow
and i'll meet an icicle man and in we'll go...
lean into me again
touch me hard and say my name again
you're too close against my chair, you kiss my hand
through the smoke and you're like quicksand
i thought about you all night long, you know that?
i hate to know how much is wrong, you know that?
you don't know that.
so here i go again
you said you love my little fire within
some petty jokes and now your eyes hypnotize
you said i see right through you and i hope you're right
i said goodnight
and i don't wanna be pathetic
i don't wanna be another sad statistic
another girl to touch your mind, i'd like to win it
but you hold her hand until it's light, alright
i thought about you through the wine, you know that?
i thought about you the whole time, you know that?
you don't know that. at all.
stupid girl, he'll never look at you that way
not like looking's what you'd like, but through his eyes you wouldn't mind
and i will flow, i will go, overseas, summer breeze
spring will come, i won't think of the boy behind the drink, but
i thought about you through the night, you know that?
i'm thinking of you all the time, you know that? you don't know that.
you'll never know that
and when i wake up again
i'll think of you and i'll hate myself for looking away then
remember sunshine through your curtains
you cried on the phone those four days past
i heard you're shacking up somewhere downtown, you bought me roses and we shuffled through the snow
you said pull up your hair and let's go
and long letters aside you've never crossed my mind

The Edge - Demo
04:51
|
|||
|
swore we'd be saints, mosaic cages
but the storms raised on in our heads and let us into them
said, look how far we've come from lingering pages to gypsy drums
so come, one and all
come together and let's go to the edge
oh, sweet sorrow
the ground grows cold, the leaves they fell
like a pathway to future springs, the way it calls to me
my future painted in purple shades like
the city said goodbye and let the mountains breathe
so come on close, close your eyes and let go
on the edge
burning red with love now, maybe i can let myself down
here's to not being good enough
for you
cups of coffee, pretty stories
here's to forgetting his name the way he forgot me
winter winds will pass, love will paint the breeze - just as london waits for me
and i wanna love you like i love christmas lights and photographs and life
hello 18, hello happy, hello
found my love on an old piano by a window of fallen leaves and big
cities
and it's hard to dance right on the edge
and it's hard to dance with you

Red Revival - Demo
01:35
|
|||
|
set fire to our minds, let me live through the rain
there'll be sorrow and triumph and holes in my heart
and a million words to say
there are times, they may lose, they may mend
there's a hurricane in my head
they may die, they may win
hey stranger, i've been looking for a miracle tonight
when my head's up in the clouds
and i've been trying to find solid ground
and no i won't back down if this heart can't be red
