Warm I 03:16
She makes me feel So fucking warm She takes me back To the highschool corridor During a summer thunderstorm I’ve got no words I’ve got no breath I’m a mess I’m a mess And I don’t know how to play And I don’t know if this is okay But if it is Then won’t you stay If it is then let me stay I want to hear the things you say And feel the way you change the space You shift the light in every way How do I get the night to slow her pace ‘Cause you make me feel So fucking warm You take me back To the highschool corridor During a summer thunderstorm I’ve got no words I’ve got no breath I’m a mess I’m a mess And there’s nothing I want more And there’s nothing I want more

Risk 02:49
I came to find a friend To interrupt the ending I didn’t know it then How skilfully I could pretend Thought I would stay the same A reptile dressed in cotton Shy of the summer sun The heat of hands so long forgotten There was an open door The room was thick with breathing Creature you sitting there And I was scared of staying and I was scared of leaving You were a jolt of pain To shock me into feeling And now my scaled skin Is soft as milk and sure of bleeding Falling I fear I’m more than A perfect warning Of what it means To give it all Your thoughts Your lungs Your lips Your limbs Oh won’t you take my everything I’m never going back again
3.
Spinning 03:56
Girl I love your name I love the shape it takes On my lips and on the page Girl it seems enough to say it How else could I explain it All these changes There’s something about the way you look at me That puts my restless thoughts at ease Something of your softness in my sleep There’s something in the time between your thoughts A stretch of light a night to walk Something in the words you choose to keep That sends me Spinning slowly Weaving a home From this skin I’ve known But hasn’t felt like my own There’s something in the bend and in the creases A tender map A morning secret Something in the way our bodies meet That sends me Spinning slowly Weaving a home From this skin I’ve known But hasn’t felt like my own Spinning slowly Shedding these clothes Oh won’t you show me How to let go

Amsterdam 04:08
It’s not like a fall It’s not like a fall I’ve ever felt before I landed soft like a seed That was always going to be Shaped by your hands Oh woman Oh man I’d give you all of my plans In the middle of the night Here in Amsterdam We climbed the wall I’m not sure we bothered to check If there was a lock on the door See last night I could sleep And nothing could keep me up Not the moon But tonight Fuck Look at you You’re as soft as the blue You feel just before You lose the thing that you love I don’t want the sun to split up the night You are all of the light that I want to see You are all of the light that I’ll ever need Oh woman Oh man I’d give you all of my plans In the middle of the night Here in Amsterdam

Give me all of your nothing to do I’ll show you all of my nothing to prove Let’s sharpen our knives For the pillow fight Hold me close as my feathers come undone And your fingers find the glue And the curtains find the sun And the dust of something new Brings a memory like a bruise The smallest hurricane Has slipped between my lungs Won’t you help me get it out With a blade a breath a tongue Let’s suck all the light From the core of the night Hold me close as my feathers come undone And your fingers find the glue And the curtains find the sun And the dust of something new Brings a memory like a bruise I’m a woman in the books I’m a girl inside your room I’m alive inside your bed When you touch me like it’s true That I’ve everything to lose Inside the gravity of youth Hold me close as my feathers come undone And your fingers find the glue And the curtains find the sun And the dust of something new Brings a memory like a bruise
7.
I think I’ll leave I’ve had enough of the crowds Of trying not to single you out Want you all to myself I’ve lost my taste for Anyone else A locked-in scent I’m tense with doubt A restless mouth The one to hold you back Never wanna be the one To hold you back Will you come to me When the lights go out I’ll be the mess Who screams with sweat And weeps with sound I want to feel you Feeling the breeze But I come too close And break the wind And block the trees The one to hold you back Never wanna be the one To hold you back Spin with me At breakneck speed Can’t you see the edges bleed The outside leave I’ve lost control And I’m holding your hands A desperate grip Afraid to land We’re barely standing Want you to be free I want you to be free I want you to be free But I want you to need me

Iscariot 04:29
I want my girl And I want the ocean Her limbs to curl The wave like motion I’m as blue as the sea that I’m longing to breathe in She is the reason And the rhyme And the stretching of time I want my girl And I want the ocean The skin the salt The arms the open She’s as soft as the sea Makes me want to believe There is a reason And a rhyme And the shrinking of time Will soon make her mine I’ve swung low Iscariot A bed below A night to hold I’ve swung low Iscariot A morning left With bitter sweat I’ve swung low Iscariot Pleasure past A scar to last I’ve swung low Iscariot And I wanna go home I wanna go home

Escape 05:30
In the black hole of your shoulder Through the curtain of your hair I smelt our hands burning If we lost it all We could call it learning Look at what I’ve built From the things I’ve broken A nest of songs so close to sleep I give as gifts Mourning Soft as silk A warning I could help you escape In case you didn’t want to stay And my sensitive refrain My pale remains Made you scared to say Under my freckles Getting older Between my breathing Held by your stare Lives a boy yearning Lies a girl turning I could help you escape In case you didn’t want to stay And my sensitive refrain My pale remains Made you scared to say Hold the wound under the water Count to ten then breathe again Lover once I was a daughter Falling sweet Towards something more than Hold the wound under the water Count to ten then breathe again Lover once I almost thought I wouldn’t make the same mistakes
10.
Unpack 02:30
Girl I think I’m ready I’m just around the corner with open hands I don’t know what it means to be steady And when I fling open my arms I don’t mean to cause you harm I just don’t know how to hold back When your skin is just within My restless touch Do you think I could unpack My days into your room It’s all I wanna do I’m so in love with you How light and how heavy To be searching all the time For the secrets of the mind How soft and how heady To loosen and unwind Then to tangle and entwine I just don’t know how to hold back When your skin is just within My restless touch Do you think I could unpack My nights into your room It’s all I wanna do I’m so in love with you See I don’t wanna hold back Now your warmth is here within My restless touch There is nothing that I lack When I’m here inside your room It’s everything I choose I’ve everything to lose Fuck I’m so in love with you
