LYRICS:

It was one sudden day
When I opened my eyes
And looked out of the cage
At the world where I knew I could fly

I reached into my mouth
Reached my hand down my throat
Stretched myself apart
Pulled out the key that I swallowed

I clicked open the lock
Stepped out and broke free
Out of the prison
I'd built around me

Then I looked at you
Holding your heart in my hands
A realisation
Far too hard to bear

When I saw the truth 
When I gave it back
When my words cut you
I felt my own heart snap

Then I heard the song
And I knew what it meant
The stars will still shine
When we have to forget

For when I drew the line
When I let it all go
I looked up at the sky
And it

It was all yellow

Lyrics: 

Another house, another change
And they move further and further away
I was fired once again today
Yeah things still somehow feel the same

I don’t know what I’m meant to want
And every weekend’s like the last
Yeah things just somehow never change
I drown in everybody’s way

Always wanting
Always hoping
Always in this stupid state
Another love
Another dream
of the words you’ll never say

When we danced,
when we drank
and fell apart inside my room
I don’t know
what it was,
but I wanted more of you

Three months on,
locked down
with you always on my brain
Four AM,
wake up late
and I’ve dreamt of you again

Play that night
till I die
Yeah it’s all I’ve got of you
Nothing else,
I made it up
Yeah I really don’t need much

Thought by now
I would know
that this never works out
Give it all up for someone
then bathe in the drought

I keep myself insane
There’s no one else to blame
All around me I have love but I get off on pain

Speeding miles out of the city
for a middle of nowhere party
For a minute you were real with me
And your secret is safe in the taxi
but now I watch you unravel before me
and pretend like no one is watching

But everybody wants a piece
So you smile with your teeth
And I tell myself
It was real with me
I'll believe
anything that I need
to keep drinking up this fantasy
yeah forget about everything else

(… be
what I wanted
and you could
be what I wanted)

Always wanting
Always hoping
Always in this stupid state
Another love
Another dream
of the words you’ll never say

When we danced,
when we drank
and fell apart inside my room
I don’t know
what it was,
but I wanted more of you

Thought by now
I would know
that this never works out
Give it all up for someone
then bathe in the drought

I keep myself insane
There’s no one else to blame
All around me I have love but I get off on pain

Thought by now
I would know
that this never works out
Give it all up for someone
then bathe in the drought

I keep myself insane
There’s no one else to blame
All around me I have love but I get off on pain

Lyrics:

I couldn't see before 
I was blinded by an image
Reflected in a broken mirror
The one you broke for me

I thought I could see you
As transparent and clear painted as you are
I believed you were really there
I created you

You never looked at me
Like I looked at you
And only now I've looked away
Do I really see you

Can't you see
We were a lie
A lie I tangled myself in
In fear of opening my eyes

But you can't
You never will
Not like I see now
Eyes unclouded by love

But was it really love
Or just something almost as false
As the image I once saw
In the mirror you broke for me

Lyrics:

There once was a girl who loved you
More than you'll ever believe
She became her own work of art
For you she wished to please

She sculpted herself to your tastes
Whittled herself away
Until one day she disappeared
An empty body 
With a pretty face

The tears she cried for you
They carved away her soul
And you
You just sat and stared 
And you said nothing at all

Forever fearful she was
That you would look the other way
Lay eyes upon another 
And no longer want to stay

She could never be enough
For only you she tried
But there was always one statue 
fairer
Placed there by her side

The tears she cried for you
They carved away her soul
And you
You just sat and stared 
And you said nothing at all

When she started to crumble
When her sharp detail began to decay
When all that was left of her faded
You got up

and you walked away

Lyrics:
Do you remember when
We nearly got stuck at
That hired mansion filled with guys on acid
You changed the tire
In a mini dress
Sulked all the way home
Then laughed about it

You used to rip me from reality
(Right from that night we kissed
you looked so different)
In coloured lights suspend the disbelief
Where boundaries don’t exist
The mind runs infinite but

Nothing does that for me now, no
Serotonin in these clouds
I’m crashing right back
Down to the ground, think
I’ll give into the sound

Now at a Northside party
I wanna go home early
I’d rather watch my tv
Take my meds fall asleep

But even by morning
You’ll be glittering
And for you I would stay

You used to rip me from reality
(Right from that night we kissed
you looked so different)
In coloured lights suspend the disbelief
Where boundaries don’t exist
The mind runs infinite but

Nothing does that for me now, no
Serotonin in these clouds
I’m crashing right back
Down to the ground, think
I’ll give into the sound

(Nothing
oooh
Nothing)

Yeah, nothing does that
For me anymore

I’m crashing right back
Down to the ground, think
I’ll give into the sound

Lyrics:

You stand up
But you don't stand tall
You stand so they can watch
And catch you when you fall

They crave to hold you closer
Your weakness is what sells
Embraced in fear you whisper
Save me from myself

There's a virus inside of you
And it's slowly taking control
It feeds off the false truth
That you'll never be good enough

And she- she's no different
Neither is the next girl
There must be something absent
When we're consumed with hating ourselves

Hold my hand
Take a step back
Behind the glossy skin, the perfect photographs
We're all so trapped

There's a virus inside of us
And it's slowly taking control
It feeds off the false truth
That we'll never be good enough

Lyrics:

She is a girl who sees
More than her eyes can hold
In daring tones she speaks
With words heavier than gold

He is a boy she now needs
To carry her every step further
He is the only book she reads
He is where she finds her words

She hangs from his arms
Entangled in his gaze
He gives her kisses and warmth
Thaws her frozen veins

And I'm still waiting for her
I'm still waiting for her to come
But I'm not sure she can breathe
I'm not so sure she can breathe with him

Still and silent as stone
She now stands here before me 
alone
Her eyes are cold and hard
I do not think she can see

I reach out my hand to touch her
To feel the warm blood in her cheeks
But her skin is a shimmering pale blue
And my fingers slip right through

There is nothing to see here.

And I'm still waiting for her
I'm still waiting for her to come
But I'm not sure she can breathe
I'm not so sure she can breathe without him


Waiting For Her

Train is Track 13 from 'Imperium In Imperio'; a 'pay-what-you-want' compilation album, consisting of brand new, unreleased tracks by all Aussie artists. All proceeds go to the Nepal Earthquake relief fund.

Lyrics:

A spinning sky
Flying trees
Speeding minutes
The train carries me to you

Away from old
From walls
From barbed wire
The train carries me to you

Is this really where I'm going?
Or are my eyes deceiving me?
Am I really moving again?
Is it all too much to believe?

And all I see now
Are the wheels turning
You are now
I am now

So I hold my head high
And watch through the window
As it all flies towards me

Forget the end
See ahead and see beyond
The train carries me to you

It's quiet here
Words choked behind our tongues
Stuck inside the shaking-fear
Of empty too-tight lungs

I paint pretty pictures
To fill the gaps of your face
The vital missing features
Of an empty boy-shaped space

I never did find you

It's quiet here
The deafening white walls
Streaked with unshed tears
And scars that seem too small

Crumbling apart
You slipped away softly
I grew strange in your arms
Before you leaned how to hold me

I never did find you

Was it all in my head?
Were you all in my head?

Playing with fire
That was never set alight
Never set flight
We're safe here
In our quiet not quite right

(Never did find you)

Lyrics: 

You hold on hard getting knocked around
Hold on and take a blow right to your face
Lips cracked open with the stain of blood
Could've sworn I saw you go for another taste

Black and blue and dripping red
A sweeter pain than the words inside your head
Too pink and raw to be said out loud
Give me sweat and scars on a shining coat of armour

You don't wanna try
Don't wanna try
Don't wanna try

But there's something in there
That you've lost
There's something in there
That you've lost

You beat it out from your aching bones
Beat it into the body of another man
A dance of steel and stone cold eyes
Two faceless friends with iron fists for hands

You let it out but it's not enough
Beneath your armour you might break
Get up and laugh but it's all too much
Inside the mind you're trying to escape

You don't wanna try
Don't wanna try
Don't wanna try

But there's something in there
That you've lost
There's something in there
That you've lost

And though you saw me standing there
With painted cheeks and a blood red stare
And though you watched me fall to wreck
Your grubby fingers round my neck

You try to make yourself forget
Your hands itching with the sweat
Of fear that I am still there
That I still remember

Tears won’t clean your dirty skin
Or wipe the shine from my grin
Your eyes on the water’s reflection
As I dive into the deep end

As I dive into the deep end

And though you dragged me through your mess
I scrubbed the grime of your footsteps
I bore your weight with my own chained feet
As you dangled into the jaws of the street

And you left me
Searching through the demons of your sleep
For some kind of key
You didn’t want to see

Tears won’t clean your dirty skin
Or wipe the shine from my grin
Your eyes on the water’s reflection
As I dive into the deep end

As I dive into the deep end

Lyrics:

Look into yourself
What do you not know?
Hold your hand tight
Don't let go

(I can only see the silence
I can only see the empty space)

What can't you see?
What's holding you still?

Sear your hand in the fire
Do you feel the pain?
Your blood burning hot
A bruised black stain

Or is it all just numb?

From the second EP by Lupa J, 'My Right Name'.

Lyrics:

I close my eyes 
I drift away 
Feel my lungs
Rise and fall all on their own 
No longer anchored to my bones

I linger behind
And watch a pair of eyes
Scan a mirror
All on their own
Like breathing;
Like they know

In the glass she blurs
Like a doll,
Tossed and turned
And I wonder 
How much longer
I can just stand here
And observe

Take me by the hand
We’ll run away 
Till the world is far behind 
Find a land with an entry fee of a lost mind

Be free of this skin
And see the woman you never really wanted to be
Picking at yourself in the glass 
Your one last plea
Oh
Is that me?

Walk the city streets with the spying walls 
Where the blinking eyes have control 
Someone carved them deep into the sides of your skull 
It’s hard to fend them off when they’ve made the lights so dull

Tightening fists and twisted figures 
Pretty faces and broken mirrors:
Those ones you never trust cos they always seem to lie
When it’s really not you that’s staring back into your eyes

Oh
But is it really the mirror who lies?
Or am I
The broken one

Take me by the hand
We’ll run away 
Till the world is far behind 
Find a land with an entry fee of a lost mind

Be free of this skin
And see the woman you never really wanted to be
Picking at yourself in the glass 
Your one last plea
Oh
Is that me?

Oh
But is it really the mirror who lies?
Or am I
The broken one

Lyrics:

I tell you I can breathe fire
You say you don't wanna know
Is this not what you desire?
Hear me drowned out by your radio

Dripping with the words i sing
I’m spilling from this skin
Vacant faced, you sew me up 
You put me back together

And I spin myself across the room 
Pull my limbs apart
In a dance for you 
And you’ll never know what i have to do
Just to be for you 
Like you want me to 
But i’ll spin myself across the room
Pull my limbs apart 
Hope you don’t try and 
Put me back together

I sealed my lips with clay
Painted red when there was nothing to say
A liquid red like my blood
The flood that’s coursing through my veins

Inside of me is an ocean
And it’s blacker than the night 
Love, don’t be afraid
Or you will drown

And I spin myself across the room 
Pull my limbs apart
In a dance for you 
And you’ll never know what i have to do
Just to be for you 
Like you want me to 
But i’ll spin myself across the room
Pull my limbs apart 
Hope you don’t try and 
Put me back together

You sew me up
Keep me from me
I don’t leave this room
I just paint the walls

And I spin myself across the room 
Pull my limbs apart
In a dance for you 
And you’ll never know what i have to do
Just to be for you 
Like you want me to 
But i’ll spin myself across the room
Pull my limbs apart 
Hope you don’t try and 
Put me back together

Drift through the stores
Keep the balance 
In through the doors
take your chances

Moth toward light 
Glowing windows
Drained of all fight
Surrender slow

Girls on billboards laughing
Silence, hysterical and lasting
Me, with my creased hands
They know I can't speak back from here

(Keep Out)

They sing, 
"Don't bite the hand that feeds you"
Up in their framed thrones
"Don't bite the hand that feeds you"
As I stand here skin and bone

Feel you close in
The years we froze
I'm still mannequin 
Break the windows 

A man in a car
The sirens echo
He looks on ahead
Like I'm not here

Girls on billboards laughing
Gloss and dress so sheer
Watch me start to wonder
If maybe I'm not really here

(Keep Out)

They sing, 
"Don't bite the hand that feeds you"
Up in their framed thrones
"Don't bite the hand that feeds you"
As I stand here skin and bone

I’ve gone too far now 
In someone else’s clothes now
Someone else’s weight I’m carrying 

I’ve gone too far now 
All the trees overgrown now
The houses all turn into apartments 

Walk you to the station 
The cars all drive by so loud 
Your words in slow motion 
I check myself each step through the crowd

I don’t want to see you get on the train
This drifting is all I know 
Throw me from the water  
and I won’t know how to be
This drifting is all I know

I’ve gone too far now 
In someone else’s clothes now
Someone else’s weight I’m carrying 

I’ve gone too far now 
The grey all overgrown now
The city skyscrapers bend over us

Your hand is so heavy in mine 
I’ve learned to let it ground me 
Drift forward in routine
In this endless hangover hold me

I don’t want to see you get on the train
This drifting is all I know 
Throw me out of the water  
and I won’t know how to be
This drifting is all I know

Maybe in this house I’m not the same 
A set of walls to block out all the blame 
I’m counting up the days without the shame 
Hoping that you’ll notice my new name 

And you’re not what I pictured
But you’re doing it better than my imagination could and you’ve
Found your way into my nights 
And the days seep by and there’s nothing else I can think about 

And I find myself losing my breath when I’m round you
I find myself losing my breath when I’m round you
You’re talking but I can’t hear a thing that you’re saying 
I’m just waiting to catch that glint in your eye

Maybe here with you i’m not the same
You make me laugh like i don’t feel this pain
You’re in my headphones dancing through my brain
Singing me the words i wish you’d say

And you’re not what I pictured
But you’re doing it better than my imagination could and you’ve
Found your way into my nights 
And the days seep by and there’s nothing else I can think about 

I’ve got this space here now and it’s all mine 
I can pick and choose who comes in
And for once I think I’m feeling fine 
It’s you that I want to let in

And I find myself losing my breath when I’m round you
I find myself losing my breath when I’m round you
You’re talking but I can’t hear a thing that you’re saying 
I’m just waiting to catch that glint in your eye

Lyrics:

Wake me 
I fall through each night and don’t remember a thing 
Wake me 
This train ride home scares me so to you I cling

It’s not enough to feel 
I wanna see it break 
Just leave me at the party and
When I wake you’ll be gone but 
your things’ll still be all over my floor 
and I’ll be with her 
my lips still on yours   
I wanna see the roads flood
I wanna see the roads flood

I’m dancing blind through all the nights, all the nights
Give me the keys so I can drive, I can drive
Speed off the edge so we can fall through space
And in the crash I’ll see her face, see her face

Wake me 
I get this plane home so that things will stay the same 
Wake me 
I don’t think that she’ll remember my name today

 
Just leave me at the party and
When I wake you’ll be gone but 
your things’ll still be over my floor 
and I’ll be with her 
my lips still on yours   
I wanna see the roads flood
I wanna see the roads flood

I’m dancing blind through all the nights, all the nights
Give me the keys so I can drive, I can drive
Speed off the edge so we can fall through space
And in the crash I’ll see her face, see her face

I’m dancing blind through all the nights, all the nights
Give me the keys so I can drive, I can drive
Speed off the edge so we can fall through space
And in the crash I’ll see her face, see her face
