Two, three, four
Summer heat
Draw your blade on me
You know that beat
Won't you say that you'll hold me
Summer rain
In the air tonight
I'll regret it someday
but for now it feels so right
Summer heat
Draw your blade on me
You know that beat
Won't you say that you'll hold me
Summer rain
In the air tonight
I'll regret it someday
but for now it feels so right
Oh, her burning eyes
Cut me like a knife
She could kill me, I
Would thank her for it
She will never see
While she's near to me
I will always be
Trapped in her orbit
She could break me in two
She'll remake me anew
If she said, me and you
Could you take it
Ooh, I would bow in defeat
Lay myself at her feet
From the day that we meet
My life is forfeit
Oh, just one dance (Oh, her burning eyes cut me like a knife)
And I know (She could kill me, I would thank her for it)
In a glance (She will never see while she's near to me)
I love her so (I will always be trapped in her orbit)
If I dared (She could break me in two, she'll remake me anew)
I'd let it show (If she said, me and you, could you take it)
But I'm scared (Ooh, I would bow in defeat, lay myself at her feet)
To let her go (From the day that we meet, my life is forfeit)
Summer heat
Draw your blade on me
You know that beat
Won't you say that you'll hold me
Summer rain
In the air tonight
I'll regret it someday
but for now it feels so right
Summer heat (Oh, just one dance)
Draw your blade on me (And I know)
You know that beat (In a glance)
Won't you say that you'll hold me (I love her so)
Summer rain (If I dared)
In the air tonight (I'd let it show)
I'll regret it someday (But I'm scared)
But for now it feels so right
Summer sky
Tell me where to find her
'Cause in my eye
I would hold her forever
Summer rain
Show me to my future
The day we met
It's like I always knew her
Two, three, four
Summer heat
Draw your blade on me
You know that beat
Won't you say that you'll hold me
Summer rain
In the air tonight
I'll regret it someday
but for now it feels so right
Summer heat
Draw your blade on me
You know that beat
Has me wanting your body
Summer rain
In the air tonight
I'll regret it someday
But let's dance in the moonlight
Summer heat (Oh, her burning eyes cut me like a knife)
Draw your blade on me (She could kill me, I would thank her for)
You know that beat (She will never see, while she's near to me)
Won't you say that you'll hold me (I will always be, trapped in her orbit)
Summer rain (She could break me in two, she'll remake me anew)
In the air tonight (If she said me and you, could you take it)
I'll regret it someday (Ooh, I would bow in defeat, lay myself at her feet)
but for now it feels so right
Summer heat
Draw your blade on me
You know that beat
Won't you say that you'll hold me
Summer rain
In the air tonight
I'll regret it someday
but for now it feels so right
Summer heat (Oh, just one dance)
Draw your blade on me (And I know)
You know that beat (In a glance)
Has me wanting your body (I love her so)
Summer rain (If I dared)
In the air tonight (I'd let it show)
I'll regret it someday (But I'm scared)
but let's dance in the moonlight

Life's a Mind Game
04:35
|

That's just how, how it moves
Life's a mind game, with no rules
You will win till you lose
Same old story, same old news
That's just how, how it moves
Life's a mind game, with no rules
You will win till you lose
Same old story, same old news
She says she's not looking for a partner
Next month she's dating someone hotter
I'm cute to everyone but not her
That's how it goes
He says you wanna bang for one night
I say not my idea of fun, like
Next day he goes makeouts are fine, right
That's how it goes
Everywhere I go, Everyone I know,
Just another comedy about to start
Won't someone tell me how to play my stupid part
Look like I belong
Try to learn the words by heart
Then I say them wrong
I used to think there was a trick, that there was a key
Something everybody knew but me, but I've come to see
Life's a circus and we're doomed to be
Clowning until we kick the bucket and then we're free
That's just how, how it moves
Life's a mind game, with no rules
You will win till you lose
Same old story, same old news
That's just how
How it moves
Life's a mind game, with no rules
You will win till you lose
Same old story, same old news
Breakup was back in 2019
Since then I've fallen in a routine
See someone new, no words, break down
The saddest thing you've ever seen
It's like a shitty B-rate movie
So bad you feel a little sorry
For everyone who's in the show
And I would know
I guess I'll get lost in a story
Roleplay's the way, I won't be sorry
Then bam, DM gives us a hottie
And I'm too scared to flirt (Goddammit)
I guess I'm doomed to make no progress
Let's face the truth, I'm just a hot mess
I'll probably always be anxious
And life will always hurt
That's just how, how it moves
Life's a mind game, with no rules
You will win till you lose
Same old story, same old news
That's just how, how it moves
Life's a mind game, with no rules
You will win till you lose
Same old story, same old news
(One)
That's just how, how it moves (She says she's not looking for a partner)
(Two)
Life's a mind game, with no rules (Next month she's dating someone hotter)
(Three)
You will win till you lose (I'm cute to everyone but not her)
(Four)
Same old story, same old news (That's how it goes)

Life's a mind game, with no rules (I say not my idea of fun, like)

When All Is Gone
04:22
|
|||
I am a child of rain and fire
Born from the blight, bound by a birthright
Buried in the centuries of dust and daylight
I am the daughter of a woman
Who shone brighter than the sun
She gave me her chain, told me to run
Not one day passes where I don't say her a prayer
In every stream, I see my home
In every dream I dream, I roam
Beneath the sky, everything I've known
Is doomed die, while I wander on
When all is gone
In shadow since the world was shattered
The lands are in decay
In the ruins you know better
Than hope anything will stay but
I dared to love, to love another
held tight to all that I held dear
I always knew she'd disappear
Everywhere, every mile
In every shadow, her smile
I still bear every trial in this barren exile
In every stream, I see my home
In every dream I dream, I roam
Beneath the sky, everything I've known
Is doomed die, while I wander on
When all is gone
I go on, I go on, there's more road ahead
Nothing left, nothing left, nothing left for dead
Not until, not until all is done and said
I defy, I defy, till I bleed out red
I go on, I go on, there's more road ahead
Nothing left, nothing left, nothing left for dead
Not until, not until all is done and said
I defy, I defy, till I bleed out red
In every stream, I see my home
In every dream I dream, I roam
Beneath the sky, everything I've known
Is doomed die, while I wander on
When all is gone (Till I bleed out red)
In every stream (I go on, I go on, there's more road ahead)
I see my home (Nothing left, nothing left, nothing left for dead)
In every dream (Not until, not until all is done and said)
I dream, I roam (I defy, I defy, till I bleed out red)
Beneath the sky (I go on, I go on, there's more road ahead)
Everything I've known (Nothing left, nothing left, nothing left for dead)
Is doomed die, while I wander on (Not until, not until all is done and said)
When all is gone

Oceanic Flight
04:56
|

For years and years I yearned for the sea
I felt the world was turning around me
Through cracks and tears I peered at its glory
And dreamed, and cried, free me! Free me! Free me!
For years and years I yearned to be free
I knew the world was changing beyond me
And I was disappearing, if only
Someone would just hear me! Hear me! Hear me!
[Distorted vocal]
For years and years, I drowned in the sea
I felt the waters turning upon me
She thrashed, I steered, we tangled and slowly
Our colours ran, mixing permanently
In tears, in fears, I drowned her and she
Became my world, my life and my story
And I was disappearing, if only
Someone would just, hear me, hear me, hear me
For years and years I yearned for the sea
I felt the world was turning around me
Through cracks and tears I peered at its glory
And dreamed, and cried, free me, free me, free me
For years and years I yearned to be free
I knew the world was changing beyond me
And I was disappearing, if only
Someone would just hear me, hear me, hear me
For years and years I drowned in the sea
Till you reached out and dragged me to safety
Beyond the stars, their light burning softly
When will someone hear me, hear me, hear me
For years and years I yearned to be free
I will not let her hate take it from me
I live, and I refuse to be sorry
And no one can take me, make me, break me

You Are You
04:04
|

You're a blessing, you are you
You are someone's light
You're a wish that someone had each time they cried
You're an angel, you're the sky
You're the joy that you deny
And there's nothing, nothing that can change that now
You're a blessing, you are you
You are someone's light
You're a wish that someone had each time they cried
You're an angel, you're the sky
You're the joy that you deny
And there's nothing, nothing that can change that now
I watch you walk without a light
Hopeless, lost, tangled in the night
Can it be someone rained on your show
Hate can be sharp as a knife I know
But tell me why do you turn away
And tell me who left these scars
You say your sky is dark and dead
But in your eyes I see the stars
You're a blessing, you are you
You are someone's light
You're a wish that someone had each time they cried
You're an angel, you're the sky
You're the joy that you deny
And there's nothing truer, don't you know?
You're not nothing, you are you
Let them tell their lies
This world you are the world in someone's eyes
Don't you say it's not deserved
You're the axis of their love
And there's nothing nothing that can that now
There may be questions that no one can answer
And there may be pain you don't understand
But you'll survive if you trust in the joy
That you haven't known
Don't say you are nothing, I would give the world for you
You may be flawed but you're no mistake
Take a deep breath till there's no sorrow left
And look up above, it's the sky you love
Can't you see your starlight?
My dear, please be my light
Oh, my dear, it's still the night
Don't think you are any less than wonderful
You're a blessing, you are you (My dear)
You are someone's light (Please be my light)
You're a wish that someone had (Oh, my dear)
Each time they cried (It's still the night)
you're an angel, you're the sky (Don't think you)
you're the joy that you deny (Are any less)
and there's nothing nothing that can change that (Than wonderful)
Angel, you're my sky
let them tell their lies
In this world you are the world in someone's eyes
Don't you say it's not deserved
You're the axis of my love
And there's nothing nothing that can change my mind

The Banner I Unfurl
01:22
|
|||
I'm not that strong, but I'll fight
I belong at her side
When the darkness starts to stir
She's so much more
While I live, I am sure
I would give my very life for her
'Cause
She's the axis of my world
She's the banner I unfurl
I shall raise it for the eyes of the world to see
You could take all that I own
I don't need it now I've known
A love like the sea
'Cause
She's the axis of my world
She's the springtime of my soul
Flowers bloom beneath the skies through the centuries
You could take all that I own
I don't need it now I've known
Her love for me

Memorialisation
03:41
|
|||
I've forgotten her face
I don't remember her voice at all
What is she to me, anyway
Why should I care that I don't recall
So all my pride was misplaced
How could I have been so blind
What use is a memorial in your mind
Walls break, windows crack
Trees die, and don't grow back
If you wait, the leaves will all turn black
And she also forgot me
At last the whole truth has come to light
It was all just a gambit
A surrender and not a fight
For all these years, she bore my weight
For love, for hate, she tolerated me
"Just wait for me," she'd say to me, "Just wait"
Until she left that night
That endless night
Walls break, windows crack
Trees die and don't grow back
If you wait, the leaves will all turn black
Don't you know
Overgrown houses fall
All they've known, no trace at all
A bird sends up its mourning call alone
I've always known how to make things
But not how to break them
I don't know how to take it
When they can't be repaired
I've always known she's gone,
She's gone, she's gone, she's gone
She never cared
Who am I, who was I, to you, my mother
Answer me
Walls break, windows crack
Trees die and don't grow back
Suddenly, everything goes black
Songs end, seeds decay
You can't pretend the grief away
Oh, if I could send a reply with the things I'd like to say
I'd say I'm sorry that I wasted my childhood away
But you're not here, and you can't watch me
Destroy this memorial today

Year In, Year Out
03:30
|

Year in, year out
Learn to live without, oh
What stays, what's true
Seasons pull me from you
'Cause
I'm moving, you knew it
Years fearing this minute
A planet, a comet
I break from your orbit
I take my heart and fold it
Move out to the cold
Out of your city
Out of your world
By the time I see you
Will I still know your face
By the time we meet
Amid the stardust and space
I would rather be
About any other place
That is closer
One of these years
One of these days
Year in, year out
What do we even talk about, oh
The heat, the moon
The sound of birds in the afternoon
'Cause
Three autumns, three winters
Of stories in letters
Three springs and three summers
Lose track of the numbers
Where's the line
When do I
Pass the point
When should I say goodbye?
'Cause
By the time I see you
Will I still know your face
By the time we meet
Amid the stardust and space
I would rather be
About any other place
That is closer
One of these days
'Cause
By the time I see you
Will I still know your face (still know your face)
By the time we meet
Amid the stardust and space (stardust and space)
I would rather be
About any other place (any other place)
That is closer
One of these years
One of these days
Year in, year out
Learn to live without, oh
What stays, what's true
Seasons pull me from you
