Warm I

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

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

Spinning

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

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

Hold You Back
04:32
|

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

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

Unpack

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
