Needle And Thread

Fingers Crossed

Decomposing shell of mine
Will you accept my wrongs?
Cursed you down to the hell and back
But still you mend my holes
Vessel born to bruise and tore
I've seen this once before
Flesh, intestines, bones
Impressions last for only so long

Baby, none of this shit matters
Cut the judgement, kill the pressure

Think you're flawless, you're the hottest
But you're still just a corpse with a name
Think you're gorgeous on the surface
But surfaces crumble away
What's a paint job with no inching?
I'm just hoping you still feel the same, the same (Same)
Though, I'm only a corpse with a name

Corpse

Compilation of leaked tracks from Melanie Martinez's Third Studio Album.

Melanie Martinez - Mother Of Pearl

I give everyone the benefit of the doubt
Except for myself
Sex is a game, I know love is a maze
Don't wanna find the way out
Burned all the bridges, it don't make no difference
What's the significance there?
Keeping my distance, I stay optimistic
Pain is a plain I can't bare

Mazes we are to discover
A land aligns with your colours
Crack the code of your only mind sweeper
Try to dismantle the earth
Labyrinth, I like it, complex and exciting
Brings me to my knees, just tryna baptise me
Read through the writing, follow the lighting
Pressed against the pave
Won't be able to find me, ah-ah

Labyrinth

Damn, standing at your front door
Wish I rang the bell
There's some crazy things with you
In my dreams I won't tell
I'm a little too anxious for you
There's a little too much to know about me

Call you when I'm alone
Will you wait up 'til they're gone?
Nobody has to know
Call you when

I'm trying to get myself into trouble
I know you came with someone else
Boy, don't wanna reach for your hand right under the table
Fingers crossed
And if we're undeniably fading
Maybe we drink the poison
And fall into a bed, in another life would we make it?
Fingers crossed
I keep my fingers crossed

Help, why do I have to keep this to myself?
Wrote a letter to you in blood that I'll never mail
It's a little too honest for you
There's a picture of us that we'll never see, oh

Call you when I'm alone
Will you wait up 'til they're gone?
Nobody has to know
Call you when

I'm trying to get myself into trouble
I know you came with someone else
Boy, don't wanna reach for your hand right under the table
Fingers crossed
And if we're undeniably fading
Maybe we drink the poison
And fall into a bed, in another life would we make it?
Fingers crossed
I keep my fingers crossed

I bit my tongue as they watched you run
Back from throwing rocks right outside my window
I'll continue keeping shut
With my foolish love, timing's always rough
Waiting for the right time takes a lifetime

The fish always sleep in, they swim in piles like the sheep
And the shepherd's drunk off the feeling
Of power, scheming and stealing
I got a shell that's protective, I swim alone, it's the best thing
My aura's been through finessing, I don't need to impress you
My value's too high, you think you can afford it?
When your water's so dry and you're lacking abundance
I'm not talking 'bout your pockets, yeah, your wallet means nothing
I'm talkin' spiritual wealth, how did your heart get so hardened?

Pearl in a sea full of clown fish
Iridescent when I shine 'cause I'm that bitch
Ballin' and we stay baroque, oh-oh
Baby, I'm born from the inner protection
Crystallized carefully to perfection
Hold me to your chest so close

Not just expensive but patient, it took me years to create it
Something so ostentatious that Judas found me allegious
Cover them with my graciousness, they wound me, I'm healing it
And fuck it, I heal them too, what mother of pearl would do
Pay respects to my process, I'm the oyster, the farmer
I'm the pearl that is harvested, polished, pampered and promised
Then I'm sold as a product to all the jewelry shoppers
The cliché couples who want me to fix all their problems

Pearl in a sea full of clown fish
Iridescent when I shine 'cause I'm that bitch
Ballin' and we stay baroque, oh-oh
Baby, I'm born from the inner protection
Crystallized carefully to perfection
Hold me to your chest so close

Mother of Pearl

Rarity I am, it's offensive
Got them on my tail and they're restless
Yearning to bottle up my sentience and transpose
Glowing green like heart chakras, melting
Pacing out my breath so I'm tapped in
Tuned to the station so I'm listening more

They come toward me
But I decide whose energy
Fits my complex puzzle piece
So wait by my door

An emerald from the sky, from the sky
You should know that
I'm polished and refined
Tumbled through all the roughage
I am no accessory
A locket or display will suffice, pinky promise
You'll cherish all my sides, all my cuts and my edges
I am no accessory

Fertile like the great Aphrodite
Youthful shine got everyone fighting
Green like nature, green like their envious gawk
Expensive, yeah, I'm hundreds of karats
Jewelers' mouths stay open when counting
Drooling so much that they are drowning in love

They come toward me
But I decide whose energy
Fits my complex puzzle piece
So wait by my door

An emerald from the sky, from the sky
You should know that
I'm polished and refined
Tumbled through all the roughage
I am no accessory
A locket or display will suffice, pinky promise
You'll cherish all my sides, all my cuts and my edges
I am no accessory

Mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm
Mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm
Mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm
Mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm
Mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm
Mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm
Mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm
Mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm

Emerald V2

Think it's time I cut the line and lift the blinds
And pull myself together
Took too long to move along
It feels so wrong to abandon all the effort

Bringing out the blade and trimming all the strands
Tying all the loose ends, pulling rubber bands
Thimble on my thumb, there's a mess when
Covering the blood on his hands
Can't believe I fell for it, turning all the screws
Never really worked, it always wouldn't do
All the corridors we went through
Only led me right back to you

As long as we're connected by thread on shredded fabric
Gonna wanna patch it, stitch it back together
Wear you like a sweater, baby
As long as we're entangled my feelings will unravel
Wouldn't it be easy? Fix it with a needle
Wear you like a sweater, baby

It's too hard, I'm hanging on just by the yarn
Uncover all the lessons
There's no harm in tearing off broken cloth
To sever the connection

Bringing out the blade and trimming all the strands
Tying all the loose ends, pulling rubber bands
Thimble on my thumbnails is a mess, man
Covering the blood on his hands

As long as we're connected by thread on shredded fabric
Gonna wanna patch it, hide under the covers
Hold you like a blanket, baby
As long as we're entangled my feelings will unravel
Wouldn't it be easy? Come back to the comfort
Hold you like a blanket, baby

As long as we're connected by thread on shredded fabric
Gonna wanna hang it, sew a tapestry
Stare at it forever, baby
As long as we're entangled my feelings will unravel
Why can't it be easy? Sew a tapestry
Look at you forever, baby

Needle and Thread

When I left all my baggage
When I healed all the damage
I got pulled like a magnet to you
Feels like home, it's euphoric
Made it out of the forest
Realigned with your orbit, déjà vu

Crazy how we made in different places
But we end up so close
Call it intuition, some people listen
Some keep their eyes closed
Takes time, happy that I took mine
Followed all the red signs, the signs

Magnets, coming back together, oh-oh-oh-oh
Got me feeling premonitions of us
Open arms like you know me
All our life comes unwoven
And our families are chosen
Magnets, mmm

Magnets

You're always gonna say it, but you're never gonna do it
And if we're being honest, man, you really put me through it
I'm gonna breathe it out next time we scream and shout

And I'm not like your other types, you know I'll put up a fight
Not because I want to, just because it ain't right
To cut me with your words and think I won't be hurt

Under the desk
I'm never gonna leave in the mess
If I tell you what I need please address
Don't sweat, don't sweat, don't sweat

And over the top
I know you think I'm being a lot
I'm just tryna find the solution
Don't stress, don't stress, no stressin'

I'm not in the mood to duck your punches
Your mouth moves like running water
Or a fucked up forest fire
(You hide it well beneath your smile)

Future looks so good when you're like taffy
Soft and lovin', gets you goodies
Keep it balanced, keep it groovy

Under the desk
I'm never gonna leave in the mess
If I tell you what I need please address
Don't sweat, don't sweat, don't sweat

And over the top
I know you think I'm being a lot
I'm just tryna find the solution
Don't stress, don't stress, no stressin'

Don't dress it up, tell me the raw and real
I can't mind read how you feel
Open your throat
I'm gonna climb in to catch what you said to me
Your tongue is as, as cutting as, as a machete

Under the desk
It's pretty vulnerable, I confess
You're always safe with me
So don't stress, don't stress, don't stress

And over the top
I know you think I'm being a lot
I'm trying to find the solution, no stressin'

Under the desk
I'm never gonna leave in the mess
If I tell you what I need please address
Don't sweat, don't sweat, don't sweat

And over the top
I know you think I'm being a lot
I'm just tryna find the solution
Don't stress, don't stress, don't stress

I'm not in the mood to duck your punches
Your mouth moves like running water
Or a fucked up forest fire
(You hide it well beneath your smile)

Future looks so good when you're like taffy
Soft and lovin', gets you goodies
Keep it balanced, keep it groovy

Under The Desk
