Paying to Make Them Smile

The Reason Within

My heartbeat plays a different rhythm when you walk into the room
It’s like the air is humming with a color, a perfume
My carefully built sentences, they stumble and they fall
And I don't recognize this person, staring at the wall
My coffee tastes like static, and my favorite songs sound strange
Something in the molecules has subtly rearranged

Is this the thing the poets write about in faded, leather books?
Is this the current hidden in the stolen, second looks?
It's a fire and a feather, it's a terror and a grace
It's a language I don't speak, but it's written on your face
And I'm trying to translate this commotion in my soul
Is this what it feels like to be losing all control?

My mind has become a gallery with only portraits of you
In every conversation, your name breaks its way through
I used to walk on pavements, now I'm floating just above
Distracted by the memory of a single, simple glove
You touched upon my arm that day, a fleeting, chance design
And now a part of me is yours, that never has been mine

Is this the thing the poets write about in faded, leather books?
Is this the current hidden in the stolen, second looks?
It's a fire and a feather, it's a terror and a grace
It's a language I don't speak, but it's written on your face
And I'm trying to translate this commotion in my soul
Is this what it feels like to be losing all control?

I’ve read the maps and I've been told about this foreign land
But feeling the earth tremble underneath my own two hands
Is a different story altogether, it's frightening and it's new
To be standing on the shoreline of a world that's only you
And part of me wants to run back to the safety I once knew
But every other part of me is running straight to you

I think this is what poets write about in faded, leather books
I think this is the current hidden in the stolen, second looks
It's a fire and a feather, it's a terror and a grace
It's a language I don't speak, but it's written on your face
And I'm starting to translate this commotion in my soul
Maybe this is what it feels like to be beautifully whole... and losing all control.

Losing all control...
Is this it?
I think this might be it.
Oh.

Just me

Faded, leather books

Makin' faces in the back of my mind
It's gettin' hard to keep 'em out of my eyes
And when I look at you
You won't even try
And
Babe
I don't know why

And you won't say a word to me in the night
And I don't wanna beg you just to be kind
And if you wanna hate me
Get in the line
But I don't have the time

You can hate me
I don't care
I don't care
I don't care
I don't care
And if you want me out your hair
I don't care
I don't care
I don't care
You can hate me
I don't care
I don't care
I don't care
I don't care
And if you want me out your hair
I don't care
I don't care
I don't care

Maybe I can drive you out of your mind
It's getting hard to keep it all out of mine
And if you wanna leave me
I don't mind
And
Baby
That's alright

You can hate me
I don't care
I don't care
I don't care
I don't care
And if you want me out your hair
I don't care
I don't care
I don't care
You can hate me
I don't care
I don't care
I don't care
I don't care
And if you want me out your hair
I don't care
I don't care
I don't care

Oh
And it's all in my head
Oh
It's all in my head

Hate Me, I Don't Care

Reloaded

Furaha

Luminosa

Posters peeling paint on the wall
Every corner holds a secret
Big or small
A mirror cracked but still reflects it all

This is my teenage wasteland
My kingdom
My mess
Where dreams are loud and reality's less
Here’s where I laughed
Here’s where I cried
In this room where the world couldn’t decide

Strings of lights that flicker
Barely alive
Journals stacked like towers in a paper archive
The bed’s a ship
The floor’s a dive

But the songs I played
They never lied
They held my hand when no one tried

This is my teenage wasteland
My kingdom
My mess
Where dreams are loud and reality's less
Here’s where I laughed
Here’s where I cried
In this room where the world couldn’t decide

Window open
The stars leaned in
Night carried whispers from places I’d never been
My teenage bedroom
Where it all begins

This is my teenage wasteland
My kingdom
My mess
Where dreams are loud and reality's less
Here’s where I laughed
Here’s where I cried
In this room where the world couldn’t decide

Teenage Wasteland

I've been waiting all night to show you my other side
And when I come out to play I can't be tamed
Got a couple of tricks in my back pocket
You'll like 'em
I only need you to know one thing
One thing

I can be the girl next door
I'll be your fantasy
And if you give me the keys
I will take the wheel
And you'll see there's a secret wild side in me
Beast within
Beast within

I like to drive it fast
Love to see your face like that
I'm gonna break your heart
I'm a man-eater
You'll never wanna go back once you have a taste of that
I only need you to know one thing
One thing

I can be the girl next door
I'll be your fantasy
And if you give me the keys
I will take the wheel
And you'll see there's a secret wild side in me
Beast within
Beast within

The beast within
I don't play it safe
No
The beast within
I don't play it safe
No
The beast within
I don't play it safe
No

I can be the girl next door
I'll be your fantasy
And if you give me the keys
I will take the wheel
And you'll see there's a secret wild side in me
Beast within
Beast within
