Feather

Dog Days Are OverHappiness hit her like a train on a trackComing towards her stuck still no turning backShe hid around corners and she hid under bedsShe killed it with kisses and from it she fledWith every bubble she sank with her drinkAnd washed it away down the kitchen sink

The dog days are overThe dog days are doneThe horses are comingSo you better run

Run fast for your mother, run fast for your fatherRun for your children, for your sisters and brothersLeave all your love and your longing behindYou can't carry it with you if you want to survive

The dog days are overThe dog days are doneCan you hear the horses?'Cause here are they come

And I never wanted anything from youExcept everything you had and whatwas left after that too, ohHappiness hit her like a bullet in the backStruck from a great height by someoneWho should know better than that

The dog days are overThe dog days are doneCan you hear the horses?'Cause here they come

Run fast for your mother, run fast for your fatherRun for your children, for your sisters and brothersLeave all your love and your longing behindYou can't carry it with you if you want to survive

The dog days are overThe dog days are doneCan you hear the horses?'Cause here are they come

The dog days are overThe dog days are doneThe horses are comingSo you better run (Here they come)

The dog days are overThe dog days are doneThe horses are comingSo you better run

Rabbit Heart (Raise It Up)The looking glass, so shiny and newHow quickly the glamour fadesI start spinning, slipping out of timeWas that the wrong pill to take?(Raise it up)

You made a dealAnd now it seems you have to o�er allBut will it ever be enough?(Raise it up, raise it up)It's not enough(Raise it up, raise it up)

Here I am, a rabbit-hearted girlFrozen in the headlightsIt seems I've made the final sacrifice

We raise it up this o�eringWe raise it up

This is a gift, it comes with a priceWho is the lamb and who is the knife?Midas is king and he holds me so tightAnd turns me to gold in the sunlight

I look around but I can't find youIf only I could see your faceI start rushing towards the skylineI wish that I could just be brave

I must become a lion-hearted girlReady for a fightBefore I make the final sacrifice

We raise it up this o�eringWe raise it up


Raise it up, raise it upRaise it up, raise it up

And in the spring I shed my skinAnd it blows away with the changing windThe waters turn from blue to redAs towards the sky I o�er it


This is a gift

I’m Not Calling You A LiarI'm not calling you a liar, just don't lie to meI'm not calling you a thief, just don't steal from meI'm not calling you a ghost, just stop haunting meAnd I love you so much, I'm gonna let you kill me

There's a ghost in my lungs and it sighs in my sleepWraps itself around my tounge as it softly speaksThen it walks, then it walks with my legsTo fall, to fall, to fall at your feet

There but for the grace of God go IAnd when you kiss me, I am happy enough to die

I'm not calling you a liar, just don't lie to meAnd I love you so much, I'm gonna let you (kill me)I'm not calling you a thief, just don'tAnd I love you so much, I'm gonna let youI'm not calling you a ghost, just stop

There's a ghost in my mouth and it talks in my sleepWraps itself around my tongue as it softly speaksThen it walks. then it walks,then it walks with my legsTo fall, to fall, to fall, to fall, to fall, to fall

To fall, to fall, to fall, to fall,to fall, to fall, at your feet

There but for the grace of God go IAnd when you kiss me, I am happy enough

If you could only seeThe beast you've made of meI held it in but now it seemsYou've set it running free

Screaming in the darkI howl when we're apartDrag my teeth across your chestTo taste your beating heart

My fingers claw your skinTry to tear my way inYou are the moon that breaks the nightFor which I have to howl

My fingers claw your skinTry to tear my way inYou are the moon that breaks the nightFor which I have to

Howl, howlHowl, howl

Now there's no holding backI'm aching to attackMy blood is singing with your voiceI want to pour it out

Howl

The saints can't help me nowThe ropes have been unboundI hunt for you with bloodied feetAcross the hollow'ed ground

Like some child possessedThe beast howls in my veinsI want to find youAnd tear out all your tenderness

And howl, howlHowl, howl

Be careful of the curseThat falls on young loversStarts so soft and sweetAnd turns them into huntersHunters, hunters, huntersHunters, hunters, hunters

The fabric of your fleshPure as a wedding dressUntil I wrap myself inside your armsI cannot rest

The saints can't help me nowThe ropes have been unboundI hunt for you with bloodied feetAcross the hollow'ed

GroundAnd howl

Be careful of the curseThat falls on young loversStarts so soft and sweetAnd turns them into hunters

A man who's pure of heartAnd says his prayers by nightMay still become a wolfWhen the autumn moon is bright

If you could only seeThe beast you've made of meI held it in but now it seemsYou've set it running free

The saints can't help me nowThe ropes have been unboundI hunt for you with bloodied feetAcross the hollow'ed ground

Kiss With A FistYou hit me once, I hit you backYou gave a kick, I gave a slapYou smashed a plate over my headThen I set fire to our bed

You hit me once, I hit you backYou gave a kick, I gave a slapYou smashed a plate over my headThen I set fire to our bed

My black eye casts no shadowYour red eye sees no painYour slaps don't stickYour kicks don't hitSo we remain the same

Blood sticks, sweat dripsBreak the lock if it don't fit

A kick in the teeth is good for someA kiss with a fist is better than noneWoah, a kiss with a fist is better than none

I broke your jaw once beforeI spilt your blood upon the floorYou broke my leg in returnSo I sit back and watch the bed burn

Love sticks, sweat dripsBreak the lock if it don't fit

A kick in the teeth is good for someA kiss with a fist is better than noneWoah, a kiss with a fist is better than none



Girl With One EyeShe told me not to step on the cracksI told her not to fuss and relaxPretty little face stopped me in my tracksBut now she sleeps with one eye openThat's the price she'll pay

I took a knife and cut out her eyeI took it home and watched it wither and dieWell, she's lucky that I didn't slip her a smileThat's why she sleeps with one eye openThat's the price she'll pay

I said, hey, girl with one eyeGet your filthy fingers out of my pieI said, hey, girl with one eyeI'll cut your little heart out cause you made me cry

I slipped my hand under her skirtI said don't worry, it's not gonna hurtOh, my reputation's kinda clouded with dirtThat's why you sleep with one eye openBut that's the price you pay


You made me cryYou made me cryYou made me cry

I said, hey, girl with one eyeGet your filthy fingers out of my pieI said, girl with one eyeGet your filthy fingers out my pie


There's a drumming noise inside my headThat starts when you're aroundI swear that you could hear itIt makes such an all mighty sound

There's a drumming noise inside my headThat throws me to the groundI swear that you should hear itIt makes such an all mighty sound

Louder than sirensLouder than bellsSweeter than heavenAnd hotter than hell

I ran to a tower where the church bells chimeI hoped that they would clear my mindThey left a ringing in my earBut that drum's still beating loud and clear

Louder than sirensLouder than bellsSweeter than heavenAnd hotter than hell (3x)

Drumming

As I move my feet towards your bodyI can hear this beatIt fills my head upAnd gets louder and louderIt fills my head upAnd gets louder and louder

I run to the river and dive straight inI pray that the water will drown out the dinBut as the water fills my mouthIt couldn't wash the echoes outBut as the water fills my mouthIt couldn't wash the echoes out

I swallow the sound and it swallows me wholeTill there's nothing left inside my soulAs empty as that beating drumBut the sound has just begun







A falling star fell from your heartAnd landed in my eyesI screamed aloud, as it tore through themAnd now it's left me blind

The stars, the moonThey have all been blown outYou left me in the darkNo dawn, no dayI'm always in this twilightIn the shadow of your heart

Cosmic Love

Between two lungs it was releasedThe breath that carried meThe sigh that blew me forward

Cause it was trappedTrapped between two lungsIt was trapped between two lungsIt was trapped between two lungs

And my running feet could flyEach breath screaming"We are all too young to die"

Between two lungs it was releasedThe breath that passed from you to meThat flew between us as we sleptThat slipped from your mouth into mineIt crept

Between two lungs it was releasedThe breath that passed from you to meThat flew between us as we sleptThat slipped from your mouth into mineIt crept

Cause it was trappedTrapped between two lungsIt was trapped between two lungs

Gone all the days of beggingThe days of theftNo more gasping for a breathThe air has filled me head-to-toeAnd I can see the ground far below

I have this breath and I hold it tightAnd I keep it in my chestWith all my mightI pray to God this breath will lastAs it pushes past my lipsAs I gasp, gasp

Between Two Lungs

My boy builds co�ns with hammers and nailsHe doesn't build ships, he has no use for sailsHe doesn't make tables, dresses or chairsHe can't carve a whistle cause he just doesn't care

My boy builds co�ns for the rich and the poorKings and queens have all knocked on his doorBeggars and liars, gypsies and thievesThey all come to him, 'cause he's so eager to please

My boy builds co�ns, he makes them all dayBut it's not just for work and it isn't for playHe's made one for himselfOne for me tooOne of these days he'll make one for you

My boy builds co�ns for better or worseSome say it's a blessing, some say it's a curseHe fits them together in sunshine or rainEach one is unique, no two are the same

My Boy Builds Coffins

And in the darkI can hear your heartbeatI tried to find the soundBut then it stoppedAnd I was in the darknessSo darkness I became


I took the stars from my eyesAnd then I made a mapAnd knew that somehowI could find my way backThen I heard your heart beatingYou were in the darkness tooSo I stayed in the darkness with you



No walls,Can keep me protectedNo sleep,Nothing inbetween me and the rainAnd you can't save me now,I'm in the grip of a hurricaneI'm gonna blow myself away.

I'm going out,I'm gonna drink myself to deathAnd in the crowdI see you with someone else,I brace myself,Cause I know it's going to hurt,But I like to think at least things can't get any worse.

No home,I don't want shelter,No calm,Nothing to keep me from the storm,And you can't hold me down,Cause I belong to the hurricane,It's gonna blow this all away.

I'm going out,I'm gonna drink myself to deathAnd in the crowdI see you with someone else,I brace myself,Cause I know it's going to hurt,But I like to think at least things can't get any worse.

I hope that you see me,Cause I'm staring at you,But when you look over,You look right through,Then you lean and kiss her on the head,And I never felt so alive, and so.. dead.

I'm going out,I'm gonna drink myself to deathAnd in the crowdI see you with someone else,I brace myself,Cause I know it's going to hurt,I'm going out

I'm going outI'm gonna drink myself to deathAnd in the crowdI see you with someone else,I brace myself,Cause I know it's going to hurt,I'm going out, woah-oh-oI'm going out, woah-oh-oI'm going o-o-o-o-o-o-outI'm going out, woah-oh-oI'm going out.

Hurricane Love

Seems that I have been heldIn some dreaming stateA tourist in the waking worldNever quite awake

No kiss, no gentle wordCould wake me from this slumberUntil I realise that it was youWho held me under

Felt it in my fist, in my feetIn the hollows of my eyelidsShaking through my skull, through my spineAnd down through my ribs

No more dreaming of the deadAs if death itself was undoneNo more calling like a crow for a boyFor a body in the garden

No more dreaming like a girlSo in love, so in loveNo more dreaming like a girlSo in love, so in loveNo more dreaming like a girlSo in love with the wrong world

And I could hear the thunderAnd see the lightning crackAll around the world was wakingI never could go back

'Cause all the walls of dreamingThey were torn right openAnd finally it seemed that the spell was broken

And all my bones began to shakeMy eyes flew openAnd all my bones began to shakeMy eyes flew open


No more dreaming like a girlSo in love, so in loveNo more dreaming like a girlSo in love, so in loveNo more dreaming like a girlSo in love with the wrong world

Blinding

Sometimes I feel like throwingMy hands up in the airI know I can count on youSometimes I feel like saying"Lord I just don't care"You've got the love I needTo see me through

Sometimes it seemsThat the going is just too roughAnd things go wrong no matter what I doNow and then it seemsThat life is just too muchYou've got the love I needTo see me through

When food is gone you are my daily needWhen friends are goneI know my savior's love is realYour love is real

You've got the loveYou've got the love, you've got the loveYou've got the loveYou've got the love, you've got the love

Time after time I think"Oh Lord what's the use?"Time after time I think it's just no goodSooner or later in lifeThe things you love you looseYou got the love I needTo see me through

You've got the love,You've got the love, you've got the loveYou've got the love,You've got the love, you've got the loveYou've got the love,You've got the love, you've got the loveYou've got the love,You've got the love, you've got the love

Sometimes I feel like throwingMy hands up in the airI know I can count on youSometimes I feel like saying"Lord I just don't care"But you've got the love I needTo see me through
