Devil On Your Back

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

The Weight of My Heart
04:11
|

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

Black Hole Love
04:49
|
|||
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

One Thousand Cuts
03:47
|
|||
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

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
