LYRICS

+ Born Like

born like
you’re born like
born like any other
no other
you’re born like this

born like
you’re born like
born like any other
no other

if you look into my eyes
you’ll see yourself inside
swimming in our synergy

take me deep into your mind
our memories combined
they go on to infinity

we’re breathing in time now
your lips are near mine now
we’re dancing in time now
this moment’s divine

can you feel me all around you
slowly passing through you
move into my frequency

can you see me you’re not dreaming
feel the room receding
feed my electricity

we’re breathing in time now
your lips are near mine now
we’re dancing in time now
this moment’s divine

born like
you’re born like
born like any other
no other
you’re born like this

born like
you’re born like
born like any other
no other

+ Shaking

when we are together
do i drive you wild
you’re out of your senses
easily beguiled

pray for me
i want to commit sin
waters deep
but i’m already half in

you’re shaking
this is an awakening
you’re shaking
i know it’s a lot to take in
i know i know i know

take you to the river
we’ll arrive by dawn
hold you under water
you can be reborn

pray for me
i want to commit sin
waters deep
but i’m already half in

you’re shaking
this is an awakening
you’re shaking
i know it’s a lot to take in

you’re shaking
this is an awakening
you’re shaking
i know it’s a lot to take in
i know i know i know

get down on your hands and knees
baby beg for me
tell me that i am your queen
maybe i’ll set you free

you’re shaking
this is an awakening
you’re shaking
i know its a lot to take in
i know i know i know

+ Wake UP!

can you wake from this dream
that they told you to believe
so you can finally be free

do you trust what you see
is it just another scheme
get you to buy all of the things
you don’t really need

keep searching for something more
all these feelings you ignore
ocean raging from inside

open up your eyes and you’ll see
you’ve been living complacently
watch the world through glazed over eyes

tell me what you’re gonna do
tell me what you’re gonna do
how will you react when you find out
what they hid from you

tell me what you’re gonna do
tell me what you’re gonna do
how will you react when the time comes
to uncover the truth

do you hear the white noise
is it something you enjoy
forget to turn off the screens

it’s about who you know
all of this is just for show
so you can make them all believe
that you will succeed

keep searching for something more
all these feelings you ignore
ocean raging from inside

open up your eyes and you’ll see
you’ve been living complacently
watch the world through glazed over eyes

tell me what you’re gonna do
tell me what you’re gonna do
how will you react when you find out
what they hid from you

tell me what you’re gonna do
tell me what you’re gonna do
how will you react when the time comes
to uncover the truth

+ Off My Mind

got me so afraid
to tell you how i really feel but
i’m caught in a moment in-between

i keep it all at bay
but underneath i’m hesitating
caught in a moment in-between
i’m caught in a distant dream

if i wait
another day
will i waste
waste away
i can’t get you off my mind

take away my thoughts
they hold me back
time to make a move
to take a step
i don’t wanna watch my life just
pass me by
i can’t get you off my mind

the way you’re treating me
i know that it’s not ok but
i’m caught in a moment in-between

and every time we talk
i just don’t know what to say ’cause
i’m caught in a moment in-between
i’m caught in a distant dream

if i wait
another day
will i waste
waste away
i can’t get you off my mind

take away my thoughts
they hold me back
time to make a move
to take a step
i don’t wanna watch my life just
pass me by

drift in and out of consciousness
gotta find a way out of this mess
i don’t wanna let my life just
pass me by
i can’t get you off my mind

+ Combat

wake up it’s dark out
guess i’m still on New York time
while my mind is racing
you’re curled up like a child

oh, the weight is crushing me
it’s taking all my energy
feel like i’m facing everything
all on my own

if we’re gonna be honest
we’ve got to lay it all out
on the line
you always get so defensive
we’re always dueling it out
in black and white

when you ask what i want
i know it’s all talk
i can’t look you in the eye
hope to God i’m wrong
when it comes to us
no one’s gonna win tonight

so hard to take the first step
stuck in this cage i’ve built
talk myself out of it
when i’m lying next to him

oh the weight is crushing me
it’s taking all my energy
feel like i’m facing everything
all on my own

if we’re gonna be honest
we’ve got to lay it all out
on the line
you always get so defensive
we’re always dueling it out
in black and white

when you ask what i want
i know it’s all talk
i can’t look you in the eye
hope to God i’m wrong
when it comes to us
no one’s gonna win tonight

+ Five and Dime

oh you bring me back down
caught my stride but you follow me around
almost figured it out but you cut me off

the way you’re looking at me
every time i leave
it makes me feel like i am going crazy
the way you’re looking at me
feel like i can’t breathe

gotta get away
’cause you’re taking up all of my time
you know i need my space
so i’m heading to the five and dime

oh i feel so far
from myself ‘cause you’re taking up my focus
i was running free ’til you called me up

the way you’re looking at me
every time i leave
it makes me feel like i am going crazy
the way you’re looking at me
feel like i can’t breathe

gotta get away
’cause you’re taking up all of my time
you know i need my space
so i’m heading to the five and dime

gotta get away
’cause you’re taking up all of my time
headed to the bay
you can find me in the five and dime

+ Like A Drug

feel your eyes upon me
all your hidden longing
written on your face

now you blame it on me
say i drive you crazy
i’m a special case

you want to possess me
i’m what you crave
but nothing is certain baby
not in this game

i just wanna play
in my own way
in my own way
in my own way
in my own way

give it all away
in my own way
in my own way
in my own way
in my own way

give it all away

and i can’t stop thinking of
all the ways we’re making love
yet i feel it’s not enough
‘cause i need this like a drug

like a drug
need your love
like a drug

do you think you know me
‘cause i shared my body
you think it’s the same

boy you will be sorry
when you figure out
i don’t need to be saved

you want to protect me
or say you say
but i’m not the one who’s breaking
i set the stage

i just wanna play
in my own way
in my own way
in my own way
in my own way

give it all away
in my own way
in my own way
in my own way
in my own way

give it all away

and i can’t stop thinking of
all the ways we’re making love
yet i feel it’s not enough
‘cause i need this like a drug

like a drug
need your love
like a drug

blame it on me
all of your longing
think you know me
think that you own me

want my body
boy you’ll be sorry
if you think i'm easy
baby believe me

and i can’t stop thinking of
all the ways we’re making love
yet i feel it’s not enough
‘cause i need this like a drug

like a drug
need your love
like a drug

+ Waiting

why’d you call me up
just to let me down
don’t even bother

you live for the chase
i should walk away
i can’t give up

tired of empty words
and my voice gone unheard
i’ve got nothing left to say to you

even if we don’t talk right now
you know you’ve already got me
even though we don’t talk now
i’ll still be waiting for your love

every time we talk
think it’s something more
i should know better

you want me to stay
and i take the bait
every time

tired of empty words
and my voice gone unheard
i’ve got nothing left to say to you

even if we don’t talk right now
you know you’ve already got me
even though we don’t talk now
i’ll still be waiting for your love

wish that you could see me
stuck in your own story
i’m so tired of all the lies
but i can’t let it go

even if we don’t talk right now
you know you’ve already got me
even though we don’t talk now
i’ll still be waiting for your love

+ Milk and Honey

hey there darling
bet you think you’re charming
from the way i respond

got me where you want me
baby it’s exhausting how
you string me along

you promised milk and honey
if i gave you all my money
now i’m running on empty
i’ve got nothing to show

yeah you can call me crazy
‘cause i call you on the daily
but you never pick up
when i need you the most

and you push me, yeah you push me
to the edge and then you reel me back in
gonna take you down with me
if i’m gonna go to hell then you’re coming

so great at manipulating
you take my heart feel it quaking
when you can’t please the man who demands
you do what you can

hey pretty baby
why you gotta do me wrong
i wrote you a song

one step ahead
already in my bed
you know i can’t be alone

you promised milk and honey
if i gave you all my money
now i’m running on empty
i’ve got nothing to show

yeah you can call me crazy
‘cause i call you on the daily
but you never pick up
when i need you the most

and you push me, yeah you push me
to the edge and then you reel me back in
gonna take you down with me
if i’m gonna go to hell then you’re coming

so great at manipulating
you take my heart feel it quaking
when you can’t please the man who demands
you do what you can

you played me but babe i’m waking
i’ll change my ways now i’m aching
when you can’t please the man who demands
you do what you can

+ Work It Out

when you leave early
before i wake
feel the hollow space your body made
almost like we’re always worlds away

i think i may be losing faith
slipping away day by day
drifting off like some forgotten phrase

and i can take a lot
if you want to leave
you know i won’t hold it against you

we can work it out
if you really want to
sure i have my doubts
we will see this thing through

but you know that i’ll
always come home to you
no one makes me feel
feel as good as you do

we can work it out

even when we’re locked in embrace
always feels like there’s so much space
i can sense the distance it creates

and when we’re sleeping face to face
both of our legs are interlaced
still i feel that something’s been erased

we can work it out
if you really want to
sure i have my doubts
we will see this thing through

but you know that i’ll
always come home to you
no one makes me feel
feel as good as you do

we can work it out

+ Other Lives

inane conversation
suffocating
all this endless noise is so stifling

fantasise of other lives
i think about it all the time
dream i’m on the other side
i think about it all the time

i’m out of my mind
if i can't keep up
i’ll just be left behind
i’m going under
get out of my head
i’m running away from things
that don’t make sense
i’m coming undone

going through the motions
day after day
caught up in this phrase
can’t seem to get away

fantasise of other lives
i think about it all the time
dream i’m on the other side
i think about it all the time

i’m out of my mind
if i can't keep up
i’ll just be left behind
i’m going under
get out of my head
i’m running away from things
that don’t make sense
i’m coming undone

and it’s not enough

+ Fix

fill your body
just to get outside of it
you’d give up yourself
just to get another fix

tell me you want
me to stay the night
i’ll wait for hours
fuelled by my desire

i wanna feel alive

darling just give in
get out of your head again
craving that feeling
take me away again

build your boundaries
just to watch it all caving in
you’d give up control
just to let another in

tell me you want
me to stay the night
i’ll wait for hours
fuelled by my desire

i wanna feel alive

darling just give in
get out of your head again
craving that feeling
take me away again

+ Birthday

on the night we met
it was your birthday
i bought a cardigan and you stole it
then we all went back
back to your place
everyone fell asleep by the fireplace

you played a song for me on your guitar
but i got too tired from the alcohol
so you lent me a shirt to sleep in
and you left me alone until morning

you got me
you win again every time
i give into you
you’ve got me now
you win again every time
i’m blaming it all on you

on the night we went on our first date
we ate terrible food at a diner
then we both went back
back to my place
and we watched a movie on my laptop

you were trying to get my attention
but i got too tired from the alcohol
so i lent you a shirt to sleep in
and i lay in your arms until morning

you got me
you win again every time
i give into you
you’ve got me now
you win again every time
i’m blaming it all on you

you’ve got me now

+ Love Is Dead

i can't think when you’re around
getting in my head now
but i want another lover
to add to my collection
feels so natural

love is dead, love is dead
my professor said

tell me a secret i won’t tell
you know i know you better than yourself
keeps you up at night
though we keep it to ourselves
the tension feels so palpable
you could cut it with a knife

losing my mind

i thought love could be defined
straight out of a textbook
but i want another lover
to add to my collection
feel so vulnerable

love is dead, love is dead
seek pleasure instead

tell me a secret i won’t tell
you know i know you better than yourself
keeps you up at night
though we keep it to ourselves
the tension feels so palpable
you could cut it with a knife

losing my mind

+ More Like You

i could waste all of my time
thinking up ways to catch your eye
and i tried but it just didn't feel right
and besides i’m just trying to get by

do you want me to aspire
to be all that you admire
let it go
i’ll just let it go

i could be more like you

it’s so funny how you live your life
always trying on a new disguise
and you lie to yourself all of the time
you rely on the safety of denial

do you want me to aspire
to be all that you admire
let it go
i’ll just let it go

i could be more like you

+ Never Going Home

i’m drawn in
etched into this
it’s part of me
it’s under my skin
and i’m addicted tonight

there is no wait
i’ve got to satiate
this burning feeling
in my throat
i’m not playing it safe
and it’s getting late

wasted on this feeling
helpless to this call

never going home again
turn the lights out
when you’re leaving
never going home again
don’t wait up for me
i’m not leaving

falling in
inch by inch
i’m not resisting
and i’m addicted tonight

there is no wait
i’ve got to satiate
this burning feeling
in my throat
i’m not playing it safe
and it’s getting late

wasted on this feeling
helpless to this call

never going home again
turn the lights out
when you’re leaving
never going home again
don’t wait up for me
i’m not leaving

think i’m getting closer

+ Make It Better

i want to be seen
yet i want to be invisible
i want everything
yet i want nothing at all

all of these thoughts i have
negate each other
i keep trying to understand
how to make it better
but i can’t make it better

i am confident
yet i always
seem to doubt myself
i am intelligent
yet i know
nothing at all

all of these thoughts i have
negate each other
i keep trying to understand
how to make it better
but i can’t make it better

i want to be seen
yet i want to be invisible
i want everything
yet i want nothing at all

all of these thoughts i have
negate each other
i keep trying to understand
how to make it better
but i can’t make it better

+ Control

every little thing that you want
lead by desire
you know this is all your fault
work a little harder

what are you searching for
someone to admire
you want to feel in control
you do what you like

got to break this wall
that you’ve been constructing
you can’t find a reason to try
cant you see what’s happening to you
you’re building a prison
can't find my way in to stay

i just want to know you more
lead by desire
i’m just levelling the score
work a little harder

what are you searching for
someone to admire
you want to feel in control
you do what you like

got to break this wall
that you’ve been constructing
you can’t find a reason to try
can’t you see whats happening to you
you’re building a prison
can't find my way in to stay

say what you want
do what you want

+ It's Not Real

driven by fantasy
how do i get back to it once again
but the dream is all i have

i try to recreate the image
in my head it’s all i see
but the flaws are all thats left

all our lives
we just keep searching
for what does not exist
when will i
be willing to finally admit
it’s not real

it’s tempting to predict
the future but it’s futile all the same
the past is all we have

and every time i try to
replicate the signals in my brain
the flaws are all thats left

all our lives
we just keep searching
for what does not exist
when will i
be willing to finally admit
it’s not real

what am i doing
why am i trying to forget you

+ I'm Fine

i can’t deny
i’m paralysed from the inside
every day i wake to feel the same

and every time
you ask me how i’m feeling
i just smile and tell you that i’m fine

i don’t know why
i’m terrified of everything
just to call the doctor seems daunting

for most of my life
i’ve felt a sharp uncertainty
now it’s just become a part of me

i can’t deny
i’m paralysed from the inside
every day i wake to feel the same

and every time
you ask me how i’m feeling
i just smile and tell you that i’m fine

it’s hard to stay true
to myself and to you
i can’t measure up to
this girl you thought you knew

this aching in my heart
is tearing me apart
but darling all your love
is somehow not enough

+ That Thing

i cant seem to ascertain
how you make me feel this way
when theres nothing left to say
just our eyes communicate
i lose control
when I'm alone with you
i’m unable to restrain
oh my body gravitates

I love it when you do that thing
I love it when you do that thing to me

i know i should stay away
but you hold me with your gaze
seems like time has been delayed
we exist in our own space

I love it when you do that thing
I love it when you do that thing to me
