Sleepy by Her Trusty Dream Tiger Ft. Lemonade

  Fever and Chills: A person with a dissection fetish gets it on.

Let me into your heart 
not like a friend not like a lover
yeah I want something closer
I want to cut right in...
like a surgeon
with my steady hands

I want to feel the wonder
of a beating heart
and open wide
those delicate ribs 
 
I want to
make your body my home,
spread slow like a disease.
sleep in your bones
and give you 
both fever  and chills

Fever and chills—
this ghost has  got a new home,
you feel me in your swollen tongue. 
and your aching finger tips, 
and anything I say from deep inside
makes you shiver and sweat...
 
I want to feel you like home—
the one I hallucinate
of the one that loves me
both good and bad, 
and holds my clammy hand
through all those
fevers and chills.


So when are you going to 
let me into your heart? 
Not like a friend not like a lover, 
not like the good doctor,
but like a ghost with
my shaking hands.


I know the heart ignores
what  it can't endure
but then it all breaks out
in fevers and chills,
and I remember your kisses 
tastes like cold water and rain
the body shivers and turns
just to understand
the cure and the pain.

So I'm telling you now
All this shutting me out
has got me so confused.
And when I see you
all I feel running  through my body
is a strange distress,
it’s not love
 i tell myself, no you haven’t crept in, 
no you haven taken hold of my heart
in your cold and steady hands
and though I feel you near
it’s  just
fever and chills.



Fever and Chills

This might be my favorite of the newer songs...

Darling you're my only child
Happiness, she done runaway,
Patience, she's gone wild,
Sorrow, she can't lift her head,
And Love, his mama swears is mine... 
But he don't look like me....

Oh Darling, you're my only child,
I'll leave you all my riches, 
And you will render unto me what's mine
Oh Kingdom come, oh, Will be done
Oh child, dig me that  soft dark home 
between the ferns and campfire ash

Where diamonds lie
And coal runs tracks along the sky
So will I 
So will I....

Darling, you're my only child
Patience, she's gone wild,
Sorrow, she can’t show her face,
And Love, her mama swears, has my bluest eyes... 
But she don't look at me....
and Happiness, you know, 
was just an accident
when I held onto Regret
that long dark night full of rain.

Darling I'll leave you all my riches, 
And you will render unto me what's mine
Oh Kingdom come, oh Will be done
dig me a home..

Where bluest diamonds lie crumbled dirt
and china bones rattle, rattle white
And coal runs sooty  tracks along the sky
So will I 
So will I....

Darling

My words over a wonderful song by Yamagishi's Traffic Dub
Original track: 
https://soundcloud.com/esuyamagishi/traffic-dub


I was walking to work.

One day I took a shortcut,
crawling under the fence,
knee bleeding,
fuzzy sweater torn.

I saw something white flash by
spots on her legs
spots on her back.
A deer?

Deer girl? 
 
A teenage girl?

She flashed 
by me, her brown hands  sharp,
almost like hooves.
She had a tail.
Deer girl...
deer girl....

Too much coffee?

What had I seen?
I soon forgot her.
Too much work.
I went to work. 
Worked. Worked more.
Came home. Worked. Worked more. Soon I forgot her.
I forgot deer girl.
 
I went to work  Went to work
Then, 
like a sign not to forget,
I walked into a store.
There he was!


A small boy 
with fur along his neck
and back,
crumpled up in a ball.

Dog Boy!
Dog Boy!

I thought: I'm losing my mind.
I'm seeing 
animal people. 

Are are they ghosts?
Are are  they ghosts?
Am I 
going mad?


I go back home,
light a cigar,
sit in my chair,
close my eyes,
open my eyes,
sit in my chair.

I try to think
if  there is something in common
between these two 
hallucinations.

 
I hear a knocking on the door
I open the door.
There they are!

Deer girl, 
all covered with spots, 
and Dog boy,
only half her size.
 

She's holding his hand.

Her sharp hands,
the fur along his back,
I don't know why...I let them in!

[me:] "Hey,

Hey,

Are you lost? C-can I do something for you?"

They just stare.

[deergirl;]  "We    are    your soul 
inside out like caramel...
the outside is the inside.
the inside is the outside

the inside is the outside...
the soul is stuck outside like caramel
and the inside 
is what you want to see..."

Another beautiful track by Numbers in a Dream that I've sung along to....
original track here: https://soundcloud.com/numbersinthedream-1/all-days

lyrics: 
All the days 
I've lived so far...
all borrowed time
all this sunlight I stand in
I took from you.
I'm ungrateful too.......

All the days...
they run away...
I ran away
like a thief back then...

I know now
I know now
all the days I've lived
were yours to give
you gave me 
you gave me
sunlight fog and rain

you gave me
  things like shame
all the dayswhat did I do wih them?
I have made strange things
like castles in the sand...
I know now
all the days
are now memories that run away from us..
I know now

All the days 
have run away.
they run away from us...
I know now

All Days by Numbers in a Dream  ft. Lemonade

cool and beautiful
where they going to take
you tonight
into the arms of a lover
down the road you go
laughing, laughing
putting on a show


cool and beautiful
this is your day
but what happens when your beauty turns to mud
down the road you go
with your broken shoes

straighten your shoulders
tell them what you know

that nothing cool and beautiful stays
you'll be on your way

you know 
that everything you want
to keep 
you gotta give away
and everything you run to
keeps on running back to you

like the dreams I dream of
as I toss and turn in the night
cool and beautiful
as waves they come
but these dreams scatter in the day.

when I wake up
when I wake up I know
I will find another way

like a lazy river
cool and beautiful
in the shade.

lyrics and voice by lemonade:
you flutter your eyes
you flatter your eyes
and I play possum
(I won't come over)

you give me flowers
i press them to my (ironic) bosom
oh you say such words
I tuck them in my ears
I call them love

you point at the sun
I see happiness
I see blue skies
(but I don't tell you that)

you give me a leaf
I put it in my mouth
and it turns to mint
(how'd you do that?)

you sing me a song
and it becomes a new morning
in the darkness
it's a bubble of light 
(I stay up all night)

oh you flutter your eye lashes
it's like a snowstorm over here
you say one word
your turn your head
(I'm lost) 

Oh, it's heaven over here
you point at the sun 
and it's like the world turns on

you give me a show
and no one knows what's happening
in here

don't you know when you flutter your eyelashes
I just go down.

lyrics and vocals by drunken instruments &  lemonade:

happy
happy like a hurricane
you can't make me cry
that's not going to happen, no.

blue skies
the birds rotate
like a hurricane

happy like a hurricane
no matter what you say or do
I will destroy you

like a hurricane

Look out, blue skies,
birds rotate like a hurricane

happy like a hurricane
I tore up everything you ever gave me
I'm on a rampage
you won't forgive me
I don't need forgiveness
I don't want blue skies
blue skies are not my thing

something deep inside me
keeps me moving

look out, blue skies,
birds rotate like a hurricane

happy like a hurricane..
I'm not looking for blue skies,
they're not my thing.

I'm happy like a hurricane.
I'm going to tear a path a mile wide
burn down the cities...

happy like a hurricane.

lyrics and vocals by lemonade:
If you were a tower
I'd be a falling star
so you could see how far
I've come
just to burn up 

if you were a forest
I'd be a deer
hiding running
watching the world
from between your fingertips


if you were an ocean
I would fall  right in
then crawl out 
like a newborn
like a newborn

and then 
like a trap
like a curse
you'd become me.

 
you'd go to to the forest
and wait between my fingertips
until I set you free

lyrics:
I walked through a field until
I saw a wall.
such a cold dark thing
i put my cheek against it
the cold was so cold it rooted through me
and I became the wall

I'm like a wall 
suddenly
I feel a hole form through me...

on one side is a garden and all the plants
are growing like snakes...
vines tangling into vines.

wall...

on the other side of me
gravel and an ocean
no sky or moon
just water water water pounding

wall....

on one side
the water pounds pounds on me..
who should I let in
what should I keep out?

Can't you tell me

wall....

why should I keep these two things separate
why not let the ocean wash away everything?
why not let the garden choke everything?

wall.....

why am I between everything?
why should I know right from wrong?
why should I protect the weak from the strong?
Why can I not go over and under and around

Why must I hold still and endure?
Why 

Wall....

How  can I lure someone to take my place
I want to walk away
let others do as they may
let them destroy themselves.
it's not my war....
it's not my place....

Wall....

Why must I stop the wind 
from blowing
Why should I be skin 
to hold my organs in?
Why should I be the air 
that holds up every living thing?

Tell me

Wall....

Why am I forced to stay?
Why am I forced to love?
Why must I stay behind?
Why do I define 
when I don't even know myself?

What can break me down 
and take me back
to what I was before?

when did I become so full of certainty
how did I become a wall 
when I began as wind
what can break me down 
and take me back
to what I was before?

who will take me back 
to what I was before?

lyrics
feed me 
feed me  feed me anything
 put it in my mouth
 it rolls in my belly 
and then I push it out
 feed me your doubts
 feed me cancer
cataracts and tumors
 all the reasons that you're late 
your lover's complaints
 I am strong enough I can chew it up
I can keep it down
I won't spew it up
 oh something strange 
comes out of me 
still alive 
it turns around  and looks at me
 it looks like me
turned inside out.
it turns around shows me
 another face...
flicks its tongue
it opens its mouth 
and says
feed me
feed me: 
everything you loathed as a child  I love
 everything you 
cast aside  is sweet
 disbelief 
ugly memories
 are my meat
all the races 
you never won
stumbled on 
 all the friends 
who scorned you

feed me 
the secrets 
in your head 
all the feelings
that were bred out
of you it's too late 
for murder 
you're left smoldering 
in dust :
let me lick it up,
 I'm your child  
feed me.
feed me.
o, feed me.

Feed me anything....put it in my mouth
it rolls in the belly and I push it out.
It rolls in my belly and I push it out.
feed me cancer, cataracts, 
feed me and I'll let you out.

Feed Me by Her Trusty Dream Tiger ft. lemonade

I’m falling in the water
some people say you should try harder
I want to save my strength
for the ever after

there are more things
than you can dream of
underneath the water
why don’t you come over and see?
why should you struggle 
and struggle
so fiercely?

I’ve been watching you
from behind the curtain
why do you live the way you do?

you think you’re going somewhere
with those things you do

I can tell you 
you’re coming down
down down down

I won’t let you come up for air
you’d only whisper those sorry excuses
you only listen to yourself

you say
why, why, why
but that’s not an answer.

I’m going to pull you under
until you say one true thing

stop asking those questions.
why why why why why why?

why why why why why why?

you’re oh so sorry
for your sorry self
you wonder why
why why why 
don’t they love you like they should

why was it me?
what did I do wrong?
did I just close my eyes?
didn’t I just say going to be alright?

did I lift a finger?
did I turn away
what if I did why do you ask me now
why why 

it’s too late now
i have no answers
i just closed my eyes
and hoped 
someone would believe my lies
I can’t lose
i stopped asking 
why why why why why why?

yes, I stopped asking my question
I stopped being a child
i wiped away my tears
i turned to stone
and I froze

even my tears broke away
and my face is worn down smooth as stone.
the passersby
point at me as I crumble in the desert air?

they say who is this creature
and why why why does he crumble here?

Is he a warning 
is he made of fear
just look at those worn eyes
he has no mouth
but you can still hear
his questions questions question
fill the night like stars.

he has only one thing 
one thing
he loves.

That’s the question he asks
to those above.

what have I done
what could i have done
what more more more?
what did I do wrong? 

wasn’t I right to close my eyes
and turn away my face?
How else could I survive
but break my gaze

don’t we all want to live as much as we can
as weak as we are?
if we can’t fly or run we still crawl
Don’t ask me to stop. I can’t stop.

Stop asking me why I’m not better
or full of hope. I’m not.
Don’t don’t ask me what they all ask me.

why why why why do you do the things you do?
why do you hurt those who have never hurt you?
does their fear feed you like lovers love?
maybe that’s all you know
maybe there are no answers
and so you turn the knife

why why why why why why why why
all those sleepless nights?

why why why why why
is there no one to comfort you?

why does the world turn its back on you?
why do we hate you as we do?

is it fair, is it wise when you do the things you do?
you never answer you just turn away
and fire back your questions.

why why why why why why can’t I get my way?
does anyone exist except to get in my way? 
why why why won’t they all go away?

lyrics by Holger & lemonade:

slippery leaves
slippery leaves

i’m walking in
slippery leaves

I don’t make a sound
on my little fog feet
I don’t make a sound
I don’t speak 
snow speak

I just wrap around 
my slippery leaves

fog, fog, fog
let’s play 
your primitive games
hide and seek
slippery leaves

see the scarf 
wrapped round 
my nose?

It makes me invisible 
to what the future holds.

I have secret places 
only you can go…

You want to know things no one else knows?
I hold up my slippery leaves
I  let them fall
(they tell me all)

i let the future unfold 
and it’s wonderful
it’s too wonderful.

I lie in fog
I read the snow
I stop cold
 
you don’t know where to go?
you don’t know where to go?
just follow me
down these slippery leaves
(they tell me all)

I shake my mind
look up at crows
I shake my mind
I stop cold

lyrics: 
with you
 
without you
with you
can I do it without you
something so crazy
I don’t think so
without you
it requires two people
we play off each other…
 (two sticks make a fire)
 
without you
I can’t do it without you
I walk in a straight line from my house
to work to my house to work
to my bed to my work.
I’m a good person
without you.

with you 
we drive until we find a large isolated house
they invite us in
we tell them our story.

I don’t know why anyone would listen
but they do
you tell them 
how you were born in Alaska
how you lost an arm fishing
and then I tell them it’s not true.

(that’s the moment I love
the moment I wait for
you can see the anger, confusion, 
panic.
what did we really come for?
but these people don’t look frightened.
They look concerned.)
these people ask us 
if we have family
if anyone would miss us,
questions 
(and they’re so calm)
I’m afraid they’re going to call the police
but all they do is feed us cake
and now we live in their basement
I’m not sure what’s  going on
they light a candle for us
maybe we’re the new gods.
I say I want out and 
they say they can’t live without us.

lyrics:
there's a lot of noise and movement in the room
I say what I say all the time, I listen to things people drop
they don't realize they're telling me their deepest secrets
it's like they're running out of time, confess, I don't know why.

Maybe it's my face...it's so sympathetic. Sympathetic.
no one in the world understands, no one cares. So when someone, a stranger
listens, you begin to unfold like a rose.
and you tell them things you never knew about yourself.
you unfold like a rose. all your nightmares come out.
but it's okay. I'm here. I don't know but I'm listening. I can hear you.
it's a deep understanding. I am listening to you. I can hear.
I can understand that you are in pain and I am listening to you deeply.
your words strike me, they hurt me, I cannot imagine what you've gone through.
like a soul wandering through the underworld..you've been wandering
with no witness, no one watching, listening....
but now you hear footstepping. I walk,I match your stride, your footfall echoed
by my footfall. you look in the sand.  your friends are not false, your family is truthful and have  your best interests at heart. and if none of this true...you will still survive.  I look at you directly. I don't look at my phone.  I don't eavesdrop on anyone else. I'm listening.  You tell me about everything.   you feel the same greed. there's nothing new. You desire freedom and money for freedom. you want a secret kingdom where no one is watching and you can unfold. unfold. unfold.  You are extraordinary, complicated. I don't know if anyone will see beneath the layers and layers of silk. We call them kira. Layers of beliefs. You pull them back. and there's another stronger belief beneath. What will you do with them all? Wear them ? a sort of burden, a beauty, don't you think?  One day you could peel it all off. No beliefs, just wonder. Curiosity. Skepticism. Eyes watching but nothing condemning. The inside a reflection of what outside you. what is outside you is now inside you. a terrarium in a forest.  compact and strangely whole. Every part fits with every other part. I think you understand what you must do now. Go into the water. Scrub yourself. Scrub and then drink the water. when you are clean and full of water. Come back out and lie in the sun. Until there is not a single thought. Yes. yes.

Lyrics and voice by lemonade

I used to dream 
I would be found
someone would see me
as i am.see me
as i am.
quick quick hide away

just for one day
save your own soul
why don’t you?

(shall I tell you how to lead a modern life?)
quick quick hide away 
they’re coming for you.

I breathe in breathe out
one day i’m laughing out loud
one day i’m fucked in the head
and lying in the middle of the street
making angels without snow
don’t know 
how I ended up like this


I have a dream
i have a dream
that I hide and
i can never be found
what’s up with that?
can you look beneath my hat?


 I might tell you I’ll never change
but I’ll be lying to you.
My hair falls out 
my heart turns metal cold
it twists and turns 
so many corridors

I live in rainbows, I speak riddles
I don’t have the answers for.
 Can I hide between the pages of a book?
Don't they throw rocks on Tuesdays?

i have a dream, i have a dream
quick, quick, hide away
they’re coming for you.


shall I tell you how I lead a modern life?

chorus:

We turn our back  on our friends 
when they need us the most
(don’t they need us now?)
 when does it ever stop?
 
I say I’m coming for you
 coming for you 
any day, 
but it’s too late.
like I said yesterday


just for one day, 
why don't save your own soul, 
can't you? 
just for one day, 
why don't save your own soul, 
can't you?

Lyrics and voice by lemonade

birds  
caught in a  storm
where do they go
high winds
break up 
break down 
everything we know
blown away
that’s what 
hurricanes are good for

i break a finger 
burn my hand
i call each day 
an accident 
and things I did 
without a thought
back then
come home to me 

you say 
the universe was once the size 
of a green walnut
so much changed since then
we’ve been blown apart
 and that’s just the start

you say 
today is more together 
than tomorrow
so live it up
you don’t have to listen
you can just get mad at me
for giving up.
(I'm not here anyway)

but if it’s too hard
don’t you know
I just walking ahead.
nothing's lost. That's right.
don’t take it hard.
we’re all going to the same place.

my heart is breaking and my feet 
they hurt too
you don’t know how hard I smile
my face hurts.

my heart is breaking 
and I’m asking you how

don’t matter if your heart is breaking
we’re all going to the same place.

low

if
if only i  could have
fingers not wings
wings not fingers

if only I had a sunny room
I’d sleep all afternoon and 
dream dream dream


if only I could be 
 
i’d fly so fast and so high,
to far off lands you don’t know
i’d go so high
to far off lands you can’t go
i’d go
 
but
all I do is shout : 
wings not fingers,
fingers not wings
I'm going to tumble hard

all I do is shout: is this it?
is this all we're made of?
can I hold you now?

doesn’t everyone dream together?
Don’t you think love 
will cover us this like this?
fall  


i begin to see
what a long long way
 I am from
home

such a long long way

can i hold your hand
i want to start dreaming

is this it?
doesn’t everyone dream together?

why are we so far apart?
can’t 
we come together
 
i feel
so low
why do I stay so low
can't stop so low

i can never reach the sun

I stay so low
so low low low
can’t stop myself 
i hurt myself
I disappoint
i hurt myself
i can’t resign my life 


i am so low low low
don’t you understand
i never reach you

every step I take you fly off 
like a startled bird

startled and i feel so low..


every step I take you fly off like a bird
startled and I feel so
low

Low --(Lost Mix) by Jude ft. lemonade

track and production by dylan https://soundcloud.com/gambl3rs

lyrics and voice by lemonade;
softly
we get together

you say
don’t even whisper
why not?
why not be silent
forever?

why break
this quiet
between us?

Our whole life
could be lived
within this secret.

Oh, you cannot 
speak.

I cannot hear your words
I can only hear
the beating of your heart.

the story it tells me
is old as the hills.

the story of the heart
makes me still.

i began
beating
beating when you were born

i’m the heart
you can’t stop me
I go running ahead of you
i know everything.

you may not say a word
but i speak for you.

you may not say a word.

has written this beautiful track!   lemonade has provide lyrics *vox

i tumble 
out of bed and
you laugh

i hurt my head
i see stars

bed stares

I want to crawl 
back  where it’s warm
you fold me
i burrow in

I don’t care

bed stares

i will live here

i will never wake up

i will live here

bed stares  

don’t push me out
don’t push me off
there’s blanket enough
for both of us

I’m from another place
less human 
more cold

I’m just 
a helpless little thing:
not an impulse,
more an instinct
you kept hidden 
all this  time.

Not so much a parasite
as a pair of wings.

Not so much a cancer
as your one true friend,
I’ll keep close til the end,
just take me on.


I’m just 
a helpless little thing,
pale as sunlight,
I dropped down like rain
just to start again:
I can be with you again.
I can hold onto you again:
just a little doubt
a little fear
something you can’t prove
but you won’t do.

I’m just a helpless little thing
here to help you
move closer 
to yourself

I can think 
what you are thinking
and your skin 
so thin
will let me in 
I can live inside your head
a single voice.

I’m not so much a parasite
as a pair of wings.

when I take flight
there’s no dirt on your feet
you can’t sleep
you can’t eat

you look out and see
and how I’ve come down to you
chosen you
only you.

I’m not an impulse
more an instinct
you kept hidden 
all this  time.

I’m not so much a parasite
as a pair of wings
let’s fly closer to sun
let’s turn two things into one
let’s fall into the ocean
cold, cold as my heart

but you can't let me be
I’m just a helpless little thing…

A Pair Of Wings..........Wodwo ft. lemonade

lyrics by lemonade
 
shaky legs aside
you take a drag
so casually,

"Don’t tell me your name…
  it’s just the same
  as every mother’s son.

there’s trouble ahead…
let’s ditch and run
it’s a…joyride…."

"Who knows 
  anyone?
  does it matter
  what street you 
  grew up on?
  your childhood was 
  no fun
 (for anyone)...
 Shoot and run… 

This city, this life…
no one 
gets out alive.

Why are you so sad? 
Everyone’s 
the same...

joy and pain
joy and pain:
play it again 
and again 
and again

joy and pain
it’s a joyride

trouble ahead, 
always trouble, 
trouble ahead  

I take all the hurt
and I blow it away...
it’s a joyride.

i stand up on my hind legs
scratch my open wound
and comb my hair
and i pull out my plastic eye 
i look at the ruined buildings in the sunrise

all the broken toys around me
all the world’s burdens on me
and so we end up here 
on our mountain of fear...

I’m a broken thing
but listen here:  
I want a new life.

I’m going to take every plastic piece
I find
I’m going to screw it 
on me
 
I’m going to spin across the ocean floor

I’m so hard no one can eat me
alive

(guess what)
 
I’m searching for…
what will I do 
when I find my new life?

I’ll tell you now: 
 
my new life
every mistake I make
I want to make it again. 

and everyone who hurt me so
I’m going to trust them again.

(why not)
play with fire
so many things i promised myself
staying up at night

(so much for that)

in my new life
I practice my mistakes
before i make them.

in my new life
I break my own heart
before i let them take it.

New Life  by Wodwo ft. lemonade

it came like snow
we had no warning

didn’t know what it was
they told us to go inside.

Don’t stand in the snow

we thought we were safe
don’t sneeze
don’t hang out on your balcony
stop cheering
stop reading the news
don’t be frightened
and wake up slowly


we had no warning

I thought we should stop shaking
hands but they said that didn’t 
matter anymore

this sickness will come and go
like a storm
it would come and it would go
like a storm.

very quickly
very devastating
but we must put this quickly behind
us

it didn’t go like a storm

we woke up us
i could feel something hard on my cheek
i broke out in scales

my lover 
he had feathers on his tongue
and we knew
this sickness was not a storm

it was here for us.
it was here within us
it would stay within us
and change us forever.

my one eye grew larger
and i began to feel it leave my body
it was leaving me like a child leaving 
its parent
coming back, nervous, it would tell me what it saw
and it told me the world had changed
nothing was recognizable
the cities were emptied
 people were disfigured
and some of them could fly like angels
 
I couldn’t.
I was just locked in my home
afraid of more change
more things leaving me
until i was nothing more than a cage of bones.

I wanted to live now. 
I wanted to be the last person standing
even if I was not quite human anymore.

i wanted to be the historian
to see the beginning to see the end 
and what came after

to do this I had to live 
and to live i had to change
so I gave in I infected myself further
to quicken changes

but each change comes upon you differently
it is unique to the person

not everyone has wings inside them
you understand
some of us were meant to fly
some of us were meant to dig
and some of us were meant to 
eat ourselves
from inside.
many died like this:
oysters in an oyster shell.

And so it happened
in an way I never expected.

I grew long and hollowed
I became a very large worm
amphibious
and I couldn’t bear the sun
so I dug down
and I rested

I waited
like a lungfish
for everything to pass
for it to finish
to slow down
for the world to heal again
so that I might come up again
and write a history of everything
 that has come to pass

so I am waiting for the  end to end 
so that we can begin again

i wish I wish I had wings

We Had No Warning by Enceladus ReX  ft. lemonade

we are not immortal

but what would be cool is if you  
could be able to replace your damaged body
with machine parts

and then you could run
and with your new eyes
you could see for miles 
and miles away

i would be sitting at my desk
holding a mirror
to the sun
pointing it back into the sky
making the light go back
for miles and miles away


the nightingale has been singing
all night long 
keeping us awake til morning.

it can’t shut up.
it’s not waiting
for things to happen again


it knows we are not immortal
we are not even alive without each other

if it is you
if it is you
i want to be alive

i want to be with you
wherever you are
even if you are miles and miles away

invisible as you may be
i will find you
simply by calling into the air

calling into the air
of this morning I am calling to you

if it is you
if it is you
i want to be alive

If It Is You by Her Trusty Dream Tiger ft. lemonade

when I began
walking to you

—I’m climbing up a mountain

the sky was dark

—to meet my god…

it’s raining and I’m soaked to the bone.

—I climb the cliffs to hear his voice

the wind knocked me down.
but i got up
and my god,
he spoke from the mountain top:
oh believer—come up a little closer

the sky was black
i won’t turn back.

(i hear his voice)

—with your faith
become
my precious lover

he said:
i need to warn you
the end is near,
come up to my
loving arms
we’ll be safe up here
i can’t save everyone
everyone must drown.

i’m telling you
nothing
is alive out there
don’t you dare
go out

this suitcase
I open it up
it’s glowing

—don’t you dare…

this suitcase
full of black dust
is the fallout

—my lord

oh I’m running to you
tears in my eyes

every
i open the suitcase an
the sky turns black
my suitcase is open for you

i’ve turned my back on him
my suitcase is open for you

—I’m climbing the mountain
to my god

he has forsaken me
—every step is full of thorns
—every step is full of doubt
—my suitcase is open for you

he said that he could save me…
damn the rest…
selfish i am

I am climbing to my god
but the rocks hurl down…is he angry?
will he take me?

oh my lord I am running to you
tears in my eyes….

it was raining hard
i was soaked to the bone
but i got up
rocks hurled down
i got up
bleeding
i got up
you told me
you turned me around
to warn them
of you.

you’re coming down the mountain
you’re coming down the mountain

he says:
wrap me in your faith, come over.

We journey with the truth
in all our pockets

i can’t sleep at night

i’m climbing the mountain
to my god
and he knows it.

I’m climbing to
hear his voice
and when the rain comes down
i tell him to stop it.

he says
come a little a further
and I’ll come down
to sweep you up
into my arms

come a little further
and I’ll come down to sweep you up
in my arms.

come up a little further up the mountain
i know you can do it..

wind knocks me down
but i get up
soaked to the bone

he says
wrap me in your faith
let me become your lover

come over.

the last time

i say i’m cold
so you hold me
but  you told me
(don’t you look back)
that was the last time
no more weakness in you.

so
i held 
the tiny violin up
and
i played 
our sad song
for the last time

but you kissed me
so passionately
for the first time
is that how 
you start 
your goodbyes?

o i was surprised
i felt weak in the knees
(did you find time
to practice?)

o i was surprised
in the weakness in me
weakness in me
 
i thought i was dead
but look i’m alive
how is it we 
kiss like that
for the first time?

o i was surprised
i thought i was dead
that i’d put it to bed
all my jealousy gone
and my life up ahead
a life
without you.

cos you announced to the world
this was my girl:
no longer.
no longer.

she’ll find her way
and I’ll go mine
we’ll find happiness 
in a different light

and so
in front of you all
i’ll kiss her like i did
the first time
for the last time.


will she surrender?
will she remember?
will she surrender?

will she remember  
how I wanted 
to keep her 
all 
for 
my self?
 

let us kiss 
for the last time
put our cigarettes out
dance our way in the dark
to forever

the glow of lights 
in the distance
and we stumble 
to the car
and here we part
to show the world
we don’t make same mistakes
forever
we won’t
we won’t
we won’t
make out
like the 
last time.

we won’t
we want
