I've been talking to the wall Took another curtain call I tried so hard, but we're gonna go around again Yeah we're gonna go around again Got me running like an outlaw Got me drinking till it's all gone I got so far, but we're gonna go around again Yeah we're gonna go around again I see the devil on your back Got the same name as mine, oh I feel you hiding in the cracks of my mind And I know you're never coming back But I just wanna hit rewind I thought I saw a different sign I'm not listening to reason At the changing of the season I felt so sure, but we're gonna go around again Yeah we're gonna go around again I see the devil on your back Got the same name as mine, oh I feel you hiding in the cracks of my mind And I know you're never coming back But I just wanna hit rewind I thought I saw a different sign I see the devil on your back Got the same name as mine, oh I feel you hiding in the cracks of my mind And I know you're never coming back But I just wanna hit rewind I thought I saw a different sign

I wanna be a rockstar I wanna be a ghost I wanna start over I wanna be a shadow I wanna have the most I wanna be sober And I've been thinking about a revolution But I've been drinking gasoline and breathing out pollution And singing a song about the evolution of my soul And the galaxies are constantly in motion Should I give up everything and sink into devotion I'm restless and I don't know how to become whole I lose myself to my own scars I find the truth in dying stars And you say it's ordinary and you say it isn't scary but I bet you couldn't carry The weight of my heart The weight of my heart I wanna be a ruler I wanna be a stone I wanna drink poison I wanna be the sunlight I wanna be alone I wanna let the noise in And it's one foot in front of the other Don't wanna be your therapist, don't wanna be a mother And every road in front of me is gonna lead to suffering And yeah, I know I gotta sit in silence But they tell me that I'm crazy and they tell me that I'm violent And some other voice is calling me to fall into the sky and sing I lose myself to my own scars I find the truth in dying stars And you say it's ordinary and you say it isn't scary but I bet you couldn't carry The weight of my heart The weight of my heart I lose myself to my own scars I find the truth in dying stars And you say it's ordinary and you say it isn't scary but I bet you couldn't carry The weight of my heart The weight of my heart

Giraffe 04:17
Why do I always wanna do the wrong thing Live in the desert where the jackals sing My head is open and I'm flying high tonight I see a vision of a lightening sky A technicolor sun and songbirds in flight I think somebody told me it would be alright He said you got the largest heart in the world But I don't know what that really means I'm only a little girl And I don't want to make a scene I wanna go home to the place where I Can just be me And just like you, giraffe Why do I like the taste of smoke on my tongue I guess it's really not too late to die young My heart is broken but I'm standing tall tonight And it's a feeling that I get when I breathe I hear the voices when I'm falling asleep They say they love me, so I know I'll be alright They say you got the largest heart in the world But I don't know what that really means I'm only a little girl And I don't want to make a scene I wanna go home to the place where I Can just be me And just like you I said you got the largest heart in the world And I think I know what that means I'm human, not just a girl And I'm gonna go and make a scene I'm gonna go home to the place where I Can just be me And just like you, giraffe

Crown 03:04
Looked into the past, saw what I could be Popped open a pill, washed it down with morphine And it wasn't my place, got lost in a daydream So far away Been down every road that led me to danger Been walking at night and talking to strangers You can't hold me back, I'm singing my anger Your power betrayed So I'm taking it back All the times that I said I was sorry I'm not going down Tried to make me surrender but now my revenge is I'm taking your crown Yeah I'm taking my crown Looked into the past, saw what I could be Saw a house with a husband and a baby But it wasn't my place, it wasn't my safety Don't care what you say I'm taking it back All the times that I said I was sorry I'm not going down Tried to make me surrender but now my revenge is I'm taking your crown Yeah I'm taking my crown I'm taking it back All the times that I said I was sorry I'm not going down Tried to make me surrender but now my revenge is I'm taking your crown Yeah I'm taking my crown

I sat in the sun with you And it burned my shoulders I watched as a cloud came through Made the world grow colder In this rhinestone city, we all get a little older And I would take it all the way If I were a little bit bolder And I try, I try to win But you're at my door again And the lights go on In the middle of the night And the feeling's gone But the mood's just right You're the last thing I need You're the one thing I want And I always disappear into your Yeah your Black hole love Dove into the sea with you And my lungs filled with water Don't know what I'm gonna do Don't know if I should even bother In this rhinestone city, the fire's only getting hotter And I would take it all the way In the face of our heavenly father And I try, I try to win But you're at my door again And the lights go on In the middle of the night And the feeling's gone But the mood's just right You're the last thing I need You're the one thing I want And I always disappear into your Yeah your Black hole love And the lights go on In the middle of the night And the feeling's gone But the mood's just right You're the last thing I need You're the one thing I want And I always disappear into your Yeah your Black hole love

I saw my own shadow I looked out the window I walked on a rainbow I wailed like a widow I'm free as a spider I'm still as a boulder A horse and its rider A nun and a soldier Ooh, ooh On my skin there have been one thousand cuts And I know that I'm not what I was Now my body is covered in love Covered in love I climbed up a mountain I sang to the sunrise I drank from the fountain Of tears from a firefly I'm dancing in starlight I'm dreaming in color I'm claiming my birthright I'm feeding another Ooh, ooh On my skin there have been one thousand cuts And I know that I'm not what I was Now my body is covered in love Covered in love On my skin there have been one thousand cuts And I know that I'm not what I was Now my body is covered in love Covered in love Covered in love Covered in love

Pray to Ya 04:02
Got your number carved into my skin Tried to run but you won't let me win Call my name and I will let you in I can hear them saying it's a sin But I like it Yeah I like it Touch me the way you used to In the dead of night, drops of venom into My eyes, I know I shouldn't choose to stay Wrap me in your wildfire Kill my soul, hanging on a wire You're gold and I can't help but pray to ya Pray to ya I can feel you crawling through my veins Clear blue water turns to acid rain Tell me what to do, it's just a game Kiss me softly, celebrate my pain And I like it Yeah I like it Touch me the way you used to In the dead of night, drops of venom into My eyes, I know I shouldn't choose to stay Wrap me in your wildfire Kill my soul, hanging on a wire You're gold and I can't help but pray to ya Pray to ya Take me Forsake me Awake me Console me Control me So unholy Touch me the way you used to In the dead of night, drops of venom into My eyes, I know I shouldn't choose to stay Wrap me in your wildfire Kill my soul, hanging on a wire You're gold and I can't help but pray to ya Pray to ya Pray to ya

Home 04:02
She is the wind She is the sky She is the glimmer Of hope in my eyes She is the rain She is a storm She is a healer When I'm battered and worn She brings me home She brings me home She is the earth Under my feet She is a grotto Sheltering me She is an oak She is a bird She is the sunrise She shines without words She brings me home She brings me home She brings me home She brings me home
