What would you say if I told you
I’m not the woman that you think I am
What would you say if I told you
I’m not a woman at all

Am I late to my own party
Swore I saw my future staring right back out at me 
Cut a path right through the room I couldn’t let her leave
Not without me, not without me

What would you say if I told you
I’m not the woman that you think I am
What would you say if I told you
I’m not a woman at all

I’m convinced there’s just one answer
Yeah that there’s just one savior 
Yeah there’s just one master key
That I can use to open every door that’s locked in front of me
You can’t leave, I’ll never let you leave
Not without me, not without me, not without me, not without me

Not without me, not without me, not without me, not without me
Not without me, not without me, not without me, not without me

Tornado warning on 95 South
I’d rather be turned to dust anyhow
Something Softer than what I am now
Something softer than what I am now

Love shifting shapes I can’t tell up from down
Each breath I take turns me more inside out
Something Softer than what I am now
Something Softer than what I am now

Nothing more or less than what we have now
Nothing more or less than what we have now

I’m a jealous guy
An eye for an eye
That won’t work this time
I know you can read my mind but I can’t read yours
Tell me what you need it’ll never be too much for me baby

Why can’t we have our cake and eat it too
Why can’t I get some from them and from you
Nothing more or less than what we have now
Nothing more or less than what we have now

Pulled out to sea to see but it’s my own damn fault
Wanna be safe I just wanna be caught
Let me linger on your chest
Let me linger on your chest

Tornado

How dare you barge in like this, midnight on a Tuesday
There’s got to be a better place 
for you to be 
Than here in my way

Everybody’s sick of me talking about your charms
I can’t help it 
we were sixteen
I can still feel you in my arms

I speak softly except for when I’m thinking of you
I sleep soundly except for when I’m thinking of you

The air in here is thin tonight, I swore I heard you laughing
Why was it not me but you, i’m a sucker for even asking

I sleep soundly except for when I’m thinking of you
I speak softly except for when I’m thinking of you

I sleep soundly except for when I’m thinking of you
I speak softly except for when I’m thinking of you
I sleep soundly except for when I’m thinking of you
I speak softly except for when I’m thinking of you

Sleep Softly

Is it my job to hold you 
when you’re angry at the world
Is it my job to see you 
even though you’ll only ever see me as a little girl
Just some kid who should stay quiet
You liked me a whole lot better when I didn’t have opinions

How can it be possible that I'm no more than something growing old
can it be possible that I'm no more than something growing…

The moments of lucidity I witness in you sting
Or Maybe I got it backwards 
it’s the shadow, not the real you, to which I cling
Or Maybe there’s no separation there at all
I Just to hate to think that this has been you all along

How can it be possible that I'm no more than something growing old
can it be possible that I'm no more than something growing
How can it be possible that i’m no more than something growing old
can it be possible that I'm no more than something growing

Old
How can it be
I’m no more than something growing old
I’m no more than something growing old
How can it be
I’m no more than something growing old
How can it be

Shadow

this is a demo of a new song we've been playing live. it's about self-loathing via internalized patriarchy, realizing I've been making excuses for why I'm stuck, blaming other people for being in my way, holding me back. But it's always been me, which also means that I have control to change it.

someone who looks a lot like you (DEMO)

High in a hotel pool
thinking about what i'm gonna do
when I get you alone
it's not the same through the phone

wish I didn't think of you here
wish I could keep my head down 
and keep my mind clear

but i've never really changed
always been wholly consumed
by what a man craves

forget about me
I dare you 
to try
forget about me 
I would rather die

There's a fire inside my throat
tearing me open 
swallow me whole
i've been burning for far too long
I don't want to be the only one that's strong

forget about me
I dare you to try
forget about me
I would rather die

LYRICS~
It would be easier
To forget than to forgive
But it all comes back around
And I’m faced with myself again
Sickeningly cyclical
Give and take and walk away
Covered in dirt where i stand
I don’t want to be face down in the dirt anymore

Take it from me, I’m alive but I’m not living
Take it from me
I can’t carry this on my own

Been scared of going outside
Scared to look people in the eye
How can I face myself
When i can’t face anyone else
My body’s frozen and my face is more like a mask
Covered in dirt where I stand
I’ll just lie face down in the dirt I guess

Take it from me, I’m alive but I’m not living
Take it from me
I can’t carry this on my own

LYRICS ~
Sweet fresh cut grass
Smelled it on your breath
And suddenly the world
Laid itself out before

Sweet like when you realize the dream is dead
You try to fly but fall instead
And wake up in your bed
Crying

I’ve seen you before
Get away from her
I’ve seen you before
Get away

Clearly there’s a whole lot I don’t know
It’s buried too deep in her throat
And I’m not gonna be the one to unearth it

There’s a place in my heart
Reserved for you
I’ll do whatever you ask me to
Whatever you need me to
There’s a place in my heart
Reserved for you
I’ll do whatever you ask me to
Kill whatever man you need me to

Speak so that I might understand
The lines across my hand
The planets are in motion again
Speak so that I might understand
The lines across my hand
The planets are in motion again
And it’s time to unearth this

I’ve seen you before
Get away from her
I’ve seen you before
Get away
I’ve seen you before
Get away from her
I’ve seen you before
I’ve seen you, I’ve seen you

There’s a place in my heart
Reserved for you
I’ll do whatever you ask me to
Whatever you need me to
There’s a place in my heart
Reserved for you
I’ll do whatever you ask me to
Kill whatever man you need me to
