You walked right by unseen and worlds they did entwine
You crossed a line, I asked you to, but
You brought them with you when you said this time was mine
You crossed a line, you only do what you want to
Make me bleed then turn away, and say “it’s what you wanted”
PLEASE STOP NOW
OH thespiralstarted Oh the spiral started
Back through dark years I hear his voice, it sounds like mine 
Been so long since it was said but it’s here it’s present time
He says: Why is everything is so hard for you. It’s funny how weak you are. Your simple little brain looks for answers in the stars. You believed in my love and you’re gonna pay for it. I changed your mind, bit by bit, infected everything you think.  I stole your voice no one can hear you sing.
It feels so heavy
And still I push down
Hold myself under cold water
Wondering if I’ll drown
If my heart will freeze and shatter
Is this the bottom
Can I touch
Can I dive deeper
Oh it hurts so much
You don’t get to hurt me anymore, but I do it for you. You don’t get to hurt me anymore, but I do it for you. Just like you taught me. Yeah, I do it for you. 
It took such a short time to  burn it in my brain forever all the right things to say to be sure I don’t recover. 
He says You’re really not very smart. You work so hard and nothing gets done. People probably laugh at you. You’re crying all the time. What does it feel like to be so useless? What does it feel like to know you ruined it? To know you’re ruined?
It feels so heavy
And still I push down
Hold myself under the water
Wondering if I’ll drown
If my heart will freeze and shatter
Is this the bottom
Can I touch
Can I dive deeper
it hurts so much
You don’t get to hurt me anymore, but I do it for you. You don’t get to hurt me anymore, but I do it for you. Just like you taught me. Yeah, I do it for you. 
Everything is so hard for me. It’s funny how weak I am. My simple little brain looks for answers in the fuckin trash can. I believed in his love and I’ll always have to pay for it. He changed my mind, bit by bit. He infected everything I think. keeps me walking forward backwards and crying when I sing: I’m really not very smart. I work so hard and nothing gets done. People probably laugh at me. I’m crying all the time. I can tell you what it feels like to be called useless. I can tell you what it feels like to be told I ruined it. To be told I’m ruined.
It feels so heavy
And still I push down
Hold myself under cold water
Wondering if I’ll drown
If my heart will freeze and shatter
Is this the bottom
Can I touch
Can I dive deeper
it hurts so much
You don’t get to hurt me anymore, but I do it for you. You don’t get to hurt me anymore, but I do it for you. Just like you taught me. Yeah, I do it for you. 
When I’m in a room with you I wanna scream and hit you
How do I get outta this room
Can you get me outta my mind
Can you pull me outta the past 
Hold me in the present time
Let me tell you that I’m sorry how I said it
I never meant to hit your blind side

I Do It For You

You believe in destiny
You like when it feels like 
it’s supposed to be
You keep telling how you wanted me 
all along
While the wires cross
While the waves toss

You never ask me anything
Just tell me how it used to be
And look confused as to why
I don’t agree
Awkward talk so glad we had it
And that my hand 
landed
Where your spine curves in
You turned to ask low 
are you banded
I laughed and said I can’t be branded
It’s electric it’s heavy 
Take a deep breath 
 Every time you think of me
I hear you singing and I try to close my heart
Before it flashes back to the start
Your light glowed so bright 
I’m still blind
But I don’t ever wanna end up 
in your bind

I’ll laugh about you in the daylight 
I’ll see your bets against me
Raise your right
Can other people even see us
See us together
Can other people even see us
Can we be seen together
Can other people see us
See us together

I could get sick 
So sick 
I could get sick 
So sick of you 
Come here let me get 
Sick  
Get sick of you 
Usually hate to be sick 
Don’t wanna back away from you 
So sick 
Don kno how to tell you 
What I wanna do 
It’s So sick 
Let’s get sick 
Want to

TODD TERJE - Spiral

Lyrics
I was standing
All alone against the world outside
You were searching
For a place to hide
Lost and lonely
Now you've given me the will to survive
When we're hungry
Love will keep us alive
Don't you worry
Sometimes you've just gotta let it ride
The world is changing
Right before your eyes
Now I've found you
There's no more emptiness inside
When we're hungry
Love will keep us alive
I would die for you
Climb the highest mountain
Baby, there's nothing I wouldn't do
Now I've found you
There's no more emptiness inside
When we're hungry
Love will keep us alive
I would die for you
Climb the highest mountain
Baby, there's nothing I wouldn't do
I was standing
All alone against the world outside
You were searching
For a place to hide
Lost and lonely
Now you've given me the will to survive
When we're hungry
Love will keep us alive
When we're hungry
Love will keep us alive
When we're hungry
Love will keep us alive

(Will my love keep you alive? Let my love keep you alive.)

Happy Boy

A choice was made for you 
When you wanted to choose
You deserved a win
But had way too much to lose
You’ve been awake at night
Counting days that slip away
You’ve been called a monster
Though you’re loving every day
Don’t listen
If someone says you’re lacking
Don’t listen
You are perfectly enough
I promise
It won’t always be this tough

We won’t go looking
We’ll make trouble find us laughing
In your arms in the dark
I get the giggles
Trying to keep my mouth shut
In your arms in the dark
I see the future
All these tangled vines are cut

We are free and our heads are thrown back
We have everything we need
Bathed in light pouring through the cracks


Growing is what we do
When we get to choose
We’ve been caught in a whirlwind
But we’ve not been disabused
All the sleep we’ve lost
All the tears we’ve paid
Are nothing next to the the dream delayed.

Just listen 
It’s the heartbeat of our promises
Just listen 
That’s the music of our love
I promise 
We will rise above 

We won’t go looking
We’ll make trouble find us laughing
In my arms in the dark 
You get the giggles
Trying to keep your mouth shut
In my arms in the dark
You see the future
All these tangled vines are cut

We are free and we have each other’s backs
We have everything we need
Bathed  in light pouring through the cracks.

Find Us Laughing (final)
