1. Burden
okay now lets get this off my chest, we've made a burden for my travel you pulled my down into your deepest depth
should've left me on the calm cold surface.
ooo oooo, ooo you know you make my soul scream, will I ever survive?
these burdens take away from my dreams
voices calling out from the dark, the night is an allusion for the lonesome
have patients for once and find some for yourself
unless the higher feeling takes over
ooo ooo, oo you know you make my soul scream, will I ever arrive?
or will these screams define my dreams?
ooo oo
ooo oo
ooo oo oo
own a beginning, the endings where I lack, mmm soft killer of the in between strapped for strength, I'll find my way back at least this time I came clean
ooo ooo, oo you know you make my soul scream, will I ever survive?
these burdens take away from my dreams
these burdens, they take away from my dreams
should've left me on the calm cold surface.
ooo oooo, ooo you know you make my soul scream, will I ever survive?
these burdens take away from my dreams
voices calling out from the dark, the night is an allusion for the lonesome
have patients for once and find some for yourself
unless the higher feeling takes over
ooo ooo, oo you know you make my soul scream, will I ever arrive?
or will these screams define my dreams?
ooo oo
ooo oo
ooo oo oo
own a beginning, the endings where I lack, mmm soft killer of the in between strapped for strength, I'll find my way back at least this time I came clean
ooo ooo, oo you know you make my soul scream, will I ever survive?
these burdens take away from my dreams
these burdens, they take away from my dreams
2. Pretty Please
When my heart beats, my heart bleeds, no one can see what they're doing, doing to me. No no. My soul suffers at the touch of breath, my soul sisters can't help me rest. No no. That ones mischievous it seems, he's not even listening. Only wants me when I am hot, when I am hot. Rather spend my days locked in a vault then in his haze. Can we push pause? These are the days, these are the days. We were too hot to trot in the breeze so stand by the water. I'll shelter your needs. You'll fall to your knees. Oh, geez.
Oh pretty please, don't make me beg. These months are young at the end of the day. I've got to leave I want to stay. These months are young at the end of the day.
Everybody told me don't go fast, don't go too slow, don't hold back, don't put on a show. What do they know? Have another drink just trust my instinct. Let it all sink in, go with the flow. That's what I know.
Oh pretty please, just one more take. I'll get it right, before the end of the day. I know you'll say "what a mistake". But I'll get it right before the end of the day.
Pick myself up off the shelf though you've clipped my wings, I'll still do my thing. I'll show you all of it.

3. I Feel Cool
Didn't think you'd take my story and throw it in my face. That's a real nice way to throw me away. Don't you even worry, I didn't really need a friend. I was just pretending to be lonely. The jokes on you. How do you feel? I feel cool. Now those butterflies all seem bubblegum, the only thing you knew to make my feet go numb. This ain't a love song, no, you don't deserve one. How did you feel with your hands up in the clouds? What did you have when you brought them down? Hopefully something accountable. I swallowed your knife. You won't be feeding the fear in my new life. My instincts are so much better than yours. My windows are open and you've closed all your doors. How time flew, I can't recall when I thought you were cool. Now with those butterflies all seem bubblegum, the jokes on you. How do you feel? I feel cool. Now those butterflies all seem bubblegum, the only thing you knew to make my feet go numb. This ain't a love song, no, you don't deserve one. How did you feel with your hands up in the clouds? What did you have when you brought them down? Hopefully something worthwhile.
4. Heart in the States
Theres a heart in the states that beats for your embrace, just to be in the grace of your negative space. I tell it not to be so damn naive. But when my brain agrees, oh, you better believe it's not lust, it's need. And when i try to swallow the feeling devours me. It's not lust it's need. There's no heart in my place i have no breathing space. Took the flower from the vase, left the vase incase. I will catch my breath along with your caress. I'll wear that yellow dress till theres nothing left. 1-2-3-4. I don't care if i'm alone. Your shadow don't haunt me no more. You were the calm before my storm. You will be forevermore. Forevermore. Forevermore.
5. Untwist in Time
Sewing these stitches I'm pricking my fists and thinking about the times you used to let me walk with you. Would do you make me believe our paths crossing is written in the stars? Theres no stars out tonight. Don't tell my that you can't be seen with me, that's not nice. Making me feel even less than what I'm not. You've got a heart of ice.
Well, these nights, these nights are getting chilling and if you were here.. pride deposed, fear swallowed.. You say you try to keep a clean soul but you have a twisted mind, well, we'll all untwist in time.
Picking the pieces I dropped on the "trail of you", gotta find a new path home. It ain't easy when my map's been torn up and chewed. I guess I should'a written it in stone. Oh, trusty stone. Hot wax you poured on my back paralyzed my spine, climbed each vertebrae. Only so it could penetrate my mind and be there permanently. And it was hot, oh so hot, now I am cold.
And these nights, these nights are getting chilling and if you were here.. pride deposed, fear swallowed.. You say you try to keep a clean soul but you have a twisted mind.You say you try to keep a clean soul but you have a twisted mind. We'll all untwist in time.
