Lost Weekend (Lloyd Cole and The Commotions cover)

Lyrics:

Stretched
Sore
Pulling at the corners
Like a losing battle with a fitted sheet
Hide my shame
If I can't I'll have to leave you
Get some therapy
So I don't become a problem

Scared
Bored
Looking for attention
Like I'm crying wolf with attachment style disorder
Down 
Low
Exhausted by the effort
Of fighting my needs for my dignity

It's an emergency
But don't come any closer
You're my urgency
I don't want to sound pathetic
Hold me close
I think that I should leave
It's an emergency 

Calm 
Down
Don't become the drama
You're not worth the effort it's not sexy being needy
Self 
Soothe
Don't manifest disaster
You're not as worthless as you feel

It's an emergency
But don't come any closer
You're my urgency
I don't want to sound pathetic
Hold me close
I think that I should leave
It's an emergency 

It's an emergency
But don't come any closer
You're my urgency
I don't want to sound pathetic
Hold me close
I think that I should leave
It's an emergency 

It's an emergency
But don't come any closer
You're my urgency
I don't want to sound pathetic
Hold me close
I think that I should leave
It's an emergency 
It's an emergency 



Emergency

Lyrics:

Feel your feelings
Don't be afraid
And don't be ashamed
If they won't behave
You're so beautiful and one of a kind
But you can't expect
To be perfect all the time

Hear your body
Listen to your friend
Where does it hurt?
What'll help it mend?
You're a little creature sitting on a rock
Circling a big star
In an endless void

Take a breath
It'll be alright
Every little thing
Is gonna be just fine
You're so small
And the world's so large
You're not in control
So enjoy the ride

Listen to your heart
Give away your love
You deserve to be happy
You're allowed to have doubts
If you never try
Then you'll never fail
But you'll never learn
Don't let your critics prevail
(even if it's you, fuck off)

Take a breath
It'll be alright
Every little thing
Is gonna be just fine
You're so small
And the world's so large
You're not in control
So enjoy the ride

There are some things 
That you can't avoid
Things are gonna hurt
Things will be destroyed
You can't see the future
But we're all gonna die
Appreciate the magic 
While you're still alive

Take a breath
It'll be alright
Every little thing
Is gonna be just fine
You're so small
And the world's so large
You're not in control
So enjoy the ride




Self Soothe

Lyrics:

You're feeling something brewing
A sense of new undoing
Don't watch me getting underneath your skin
You know you can't resist it
Relax and lean into it
Just feel me crawling over every limb

This will be tender 
but you don't have a choice
No hope but surrender when you've lost your voice

You feel increasing pressure
Enough that you can't measure
Your body's twitching with a need so big
Just take my hands to soothe you
And if release eludes you
Know that your pleasure is imperative

This will be tender 
but you don't have a choice
No hope but surrender when you've lost your voice
Your body's electric
and your skin so thin
Obedient baby let's me dive right in

You need my resolution
A volatile conclusion
You feel it coming underneath your skin
This time I just might let you
Tonight is gonna wreck you
But then I'm gonna build you up again 

This will be tender 
but you don't have a choice
No hope but surrender when you've lost your voice
Your body's electric
and your skin so thin
Obedient baby let's me dive right in

This will be tender 
but you don't have a choice
No hope but surrender when you've lost your voice
Your body's electric
and your skin so thin
Obedient baby let's me dive right in

Tender

Lyrics:

You seemed to be honest
But now I'm not so sure
There are some little signals that are 
gnawing at my core
They're not really my problem
But if you're dishonest about someone
And that someone happens to be me
And someone's getting injured
I don't want to be the catastrophe

There's something slightly iffy
And it's making me uneasy
But I'm trying to ignore it
So it won't become a problem
While it's creeping at the edges
Of the happiness we're building
But I'm really quite concerned about your mess
I'm really quite concerned about your mess

I really hate to do this 
But my feet are getting cold
I'm not looking for drama
'cause I'm feeling way too old
And I wonder if this feeling is 
an instinct I should honour 'cause
The flags are getting redder and the water's getting deeper I don't want to hurt your feelings or break your little heart

There's something slightly iffy
And it's making me uneasy
But I'm trying to ignore it
So it won't become a problem
While it's creeping at the edges
Of the happiness we're building
But I'm really quite concerned about your mess
I'm really quite concerned about your mess

I wonder if I really am addicted to intensity
And trauma has its special spice
That has a hold on me
But I think I'm getting better
And maybe that I'm learning that just 'cause your strange anxiety can touch that same strange part of me that doesn't mean it's good for me

There's something slightly iffy
And it's making me uneasy
But I'm trying to ignore it
So it won't become a problem
While it's creeping at the edges
Of the happiness we're building
But I'm really quite concerned about your mess
I'm really quite concerned about your mess

I feel like there are secrets
Or maybe at its core 
It's just poor communication
And you want a little more than what was on the table and parameters are changing and you're dictating the playbook and you're setting your own rules and while I'm immune to bullshit I wonder if you're using too much power on this someone

There's something slightly iffy
And it's making me uneasy
But I'm trying to ignore it
So it won't become a problem
While it's creeping at the edges
Of the happiness we're building
But I'm really quite concerned about your mess
I'm really quite concerned about your mess

Your Mess

Lyrics:

What can you see
With your mouth open wide
Can you see the whole world 
In places inside?
Can you touch me down deep
In a place I can't find
Can you show me the way 
To fracture my mind 
Into pieces that separate out the regret
And examine the remnants of everything left and ask: 

"Have you found it yet?"

What can you see 
When you read into me
Are you reading too deep
Does it feel like the sea 
Or like mountains or plains
Or like deserts and ice
Uninhabited space and a yawning abyss
Are you sensing the void or the way I avoid
Are you chasing my bliss and if so can I ask:

Have you found it yet?
Have you found it yet?
Have you found it yet?
Have you found it yet?
Have you found it yet?
Have you found it yet?
Have you found it yet?
Have you found it yet?

What can you see
With your mouth open wide
Can you see the whole world 
In the places inside?
Can you touch me down deep
In a place I can't find
Can you show me the way 
To fracture my mind 
Into pieces that separate out the regret
And examine the remnants of everything left and ask: 

Have you found it yet?
Have you found it yet?
Have you found it yet?
Have you found it yet?

Have You Found It Yet

Lyrics:

I hold an evening vigil
For the person I thought I'd be
And the things I thought I wanted
That never came to me

I'm gonna treat myself softly 
And allow myself to feel 
Won't become enmeshed with another
And embrace my solitude

You make me feel like
I'm starting in a 90s romance
And I'm conflicted
Trying to fit in my new world view

I know that I've made some choices
And those choices led to you
But I fear being real, being seen
Or outsourcing my self esteem

You make me feel like
I'm starting in a 90s romance
And I'm conflicted
Trying to fit in my new world view
You make me feel like
I'm starting in a 90s romance
The kind where it seems impossible
But it was meant to be

You sound like a resurrection
Of rejuvenated love
But I'm not a 90s heroine
In the arms of my love

You make me feel like
I'm starting in a 90s romance
And I'm conflicted
Trying to fit in my new world view
You make me feel like
I'm starting in a 90s romance
The kind where it seems impossible
But it was meant to be

You make me feel like
I'm starting in a 90s romance
And I'm conflicted
Trying to fit in my new world view



90s Romance

Lyrics:

Lots of little bruises on my legs
Lots of little bruises on my arms and on my legs
Lots of little bruises on my arms and on my legs so you know that I have made many mistakes

Lots of little bruises on my legs
Lots of little bruises on my arms and on my legs
Lots of little bruises on my arms and on my legs so you know that I have made many mistakes

Lots of little scars upon my heart
Lots of little scars that you can see within my art
Lots of little scars that you can see upon my heart and they open when my mind is feeling dark

Lots of little bruises on my legs
Lots of little bruises on my arms and on my legs
Lots of little bruises on my arms and on my legs so you know that I have made many mistakes

Lots of little bugs within my brain
Lots of little bugs that can cause a lot of pain
Lots of little bugs are buried deep within my brain and they live there you can't dig them out again

Lots of little bruises on my legs
Lots of little bruises on my arms and on my legs
Lots of little bruises on my arms and on my legs so you know that I have made many mistakes

Lots of little pieces of my life
Lots of little pieces I can never seem to find
Lots of little pieces of my complicated life if you find them maybe you could be my wife

Lots of little bruises on my legs
Lots of little bruises on my arms and on my legs
Lots of little bruises on my arms and on my legs so you know that I have made many mistakes

Lots of little bruises on my legs
Lots of little bruises on my arms and on my legs
Lots of little bruises on my arms and on my legs so you know that I have made many mistakes

Little Bruises

Lyrics:

It's not fair of you to make me your escape plan
It's not fair of you to hide inside my love
It's not fair of you to keep your lover hanging on the line
Hoping for the scraps you leave behind


It's not fair of you to keep something you don't want
It's not fair of you to live inside the past
If you can't embrace the changes and do what you need to do
Then your choices soon won't be left up to you


You need to fix this
You're the one in charge
I know it's all real scary and real hard
This could be a lesson, or even a success
I hope that what you choose is for the best


It's not fair of you to make me your accomplice
It's not fair of you to hurt the both of us
If you can't get what you want here
It might not be for you
I hope you get the chance to see it through


But you need to fix this
You're the one in charge
I know it's all real scary and real hard
This could be a lesson, or even a success
I hope that what you choose is for the best


It's not fair to take advantage of confusion
Or the desperate fear of finding someone new
There are more fish in the ocean
Even when there's trash
And sometimes endings give us both a chance


You need to fix this
You're the one in charge
I know it's all real scary and real hard
This could be a lesson, or even a success
I hope that what you choose is for the best

You need to fix this
You're the one in charge
I know it's all real scary and real hard
This could be a lesson, or maybe a success
I hope that what you choose is for the best



Escape Plan

Lyrics:

I feel so special and so small
When I see your light ignite my sky
Afraid I'm too hard to break your fall
But I know I like it when you're mine

A portal to another world
Pierce the veil of my reality
Burning a hole inside my heart
Leave a scar that carves out your name

Activate my nervous system
Make me afraid but it feels like love
You're gonna crash into my orbit 
Like a meteorite
Meteorite 

Stranger from another world
Invite you in from the cold
Show me things I do not know
And when you wanna go home

Activate my nervous system
Make me afraid but it feels like love
You're gonna crash into my orbit 
Like a meteorite
Meteorite 

Burning rubble, furious mess
Hot debris across our chests
Reigning chaos take my breath
Too much of you will be my death

Activate my nervous system
Make me afraid but it feels like love
You're gonna crash into my orbit 
Like a meteorite
Meteorite

Meteorite

Lyrics:

Do you yearn for me when I'm gone?
Or do you simply put me out of your mind?
Are you busy enough to forget?
Am I important enough to miss?

I'm afraid of myself when you're here
I could do something to drive you away
When there's distance between, 
I can easily be
The person I want you to see

But I yearn for you when you're gone
It's a famine that makes me ache
I'm not busy enough to forget
The wonder of your feast

I'm afraid of you when you're here
I don't know if I can meet all your needs
The anxiety creeps
And happiness seems
Like water slippin' through my hands

I busy myself when you're gone
I pretend that I don't have any needs
I take care of myself just fine
I can mend my own heart when it bleeds

Are you taking the time to yearn?
Where does that feeling sit?


Yearn

You had a dream of me last night
It was you, my other lover and I
I was in love, and you rolled your eyes
Jealous, honest, undisguised

I have a vision in my mind
Of the love in you I hope to find
We hold each other in our lives
And marvel at our different minds

When you dream of me,
You dream kindly
'Cause my happiness is on your mind

You told me of your dream last night
You didn't flinch, you didn't lie
Dreams are never the whole truth
But they help me with the shape of you

When you dream of me,
You dream kindly
'Cause my happiness is on your mind

When you dream of me,
You dream kindly
'Cause the love I have is on your mind

You had a dream of me last night
I was writing a song for something else
They were tall and thin and you spoke to them 
And it seems your anger found its end

When you dream of me,
You dream kindly
'Cause my happiness is on your mind

When you dream of me,
You dream kindly
'Cause the love I have is on your mind

When you dream of me,
You dream kindly
'Cause my happiness is on your mind



Kindly

Lyrics:

Gather round, ye spirits near,
With whispered words, let magic sear
Where darkness feasts, we find our bliss
Beside me, darkness, made in this

Dance with shadows in its claw
Cars pass by like dreams so raw
In your arms a solace gleams
In silent world, a warmth, it seems

Lost together find our way
Hearts exhumed and lovers' sway
Star above like glinting knives
In night's abyss, lips collide

Petrichor, fervour entwined
Lips and whispers, love defined
Echo beats and passing time
Hands entwine, celestial climb

In evening's pool, where we drown
My love, we sink and soar unbound
Celestial dance, creatures unseen
Ocean's hush and love serene 

Lost together find our way
Hearts exhumed and lovers' sway
Star above like glinting knives
In night's abyss, lips collide

Lost together find our way
Hearts exhumed and lovers' sway
Star above like glinting knives
In night's abyss, lips collide

In velvet sky, a cosmic gleam
With incantation, love does teem
So will it be, this spell I weave
In darkness love shall be received

Lost together find our way
Hearts exhumed and lovers' sway
Star above like glinting knives
In night's abyss, lips collide

Lost together find our way
Hearts exhumed and lovers' sway
Star above like glinting knives
In night's abyss, lips collide

Love Spell

We've been living with our shadows
And our shadows have made friends
I only like people with shadows
And when we meet our shadows blend

For a while I lived in shadow
And shadows were all that I saw
I thought that I deserved the shadows
So I never asked for more

Hey there that's what I said
Bundle me up and put me to bed
I've had a big day and it ended in tears
Put me in the shower wash away all my fears

Don't take me drinking with my shadow
Don't hold me down upon the floor
I might get lost inside my shadows
That are lurking at my core

Hey there that's what I said
Bundle me up and put me to bed
I've had a big day and it ended in tears
Put me in the shower wash away all my fears

Hey there that's what I said
Bundle me up and put me to bed
I've had a big day and it ended in tears
Put me in the shower wash away all my fears

I feel ashamed about my shadow
I feel ashamed about my mess
I climbed out but it still haunts me
I want to seem a little less

Hey there that's what I said
Bundle me up and put me to bed
I've had a big day and it ended in tears
Put me in the shower wash away all my fears

Hey there that's what I said
Bundle me up and put me to bed
I've had a big day and it ended in tears
Put me in the shower wash away all my fears

Shadows

Lyrics:

Don't wanna be a hypocrite 
I know you're in the thick of it 
You're trying not to lose something precious to you
I'd do the same 
you're gonna do what you're gonna do
I want you to have everything that you want
So I'll show a brave face yeah I'll show a strong front 
But I'm uncomfortable 
Yeah I'm uncomfortable 

I understand 
I know I've made my bed 
So I will lie in it
I chose this hill, I fought the battle
Now I'll go and die on it
I just want you to know this isn't easy
But I'll take the blame
So you can be my victim 
And I'll be the bitch who can't be named

You won't advocate for me 
I'm the villain of the story
Sometimes I get tired of just getting along
Or asking for nothing like there's nothing I want
Am I too easy to keep, or too easy to get?
Their hatred is there you can't conceive of it yet
But I'm uncomfortable 
Yeah I'm uncomfortable 

I understand 
I know I've made my bed 
So I will lie in it
I chose this hill, I fought the battle
Now I'll go and die on it
I just want you to know this isn't easy
But I'll take the blame
So you can be my victim 
And I'll be the bitch who can't be named


I understand 
I know I've made my bed 
So I will lie in it
I chose this hill, I fought the battle
Now I'll go and die on it
I just want you to know this isn't easy
But I'll take the blame
So you can be my victim 
And I'll be the bitch who can't be named


Can't Be Named

Lyrics:

Under the stars
With sanguine hearts
We share our most egregious parts

Make me question 
All my fears
You're special 
I'm head over heels

If I could bottle this feeling you give me
And spritz myself every morning 
I'd never be truly unhappy again.

Impossible 
Uncontainable 
Unquantifiable 
You

Under the stars
With sanguine hearts
We share our most egregious parts

Make me question 
All my fears
You're special 
I'm head over heels

Special

In this world you have to be oh so smart, or oh so pleasant. For years I was smart, but I recommend pleasant.
