Swarm
03:33

No one has to see
Me come undone
But sometimes I get lost
And I’m reeling
One touch
And I’m back to the start
So I’m leaving
I forgive
But can’t forget this abyss
'Cause my spirit is caught
On the ceiling
One lift
Brings me right back to it
And I’m healing
Will I wake in the morning
Will I sleep through the hours
Am I close to the edge
Or am I stepping out
Closed in
Forced myself to burn this bridge
And it’s dangerous ground
That I’m walking
Nothing’s
Gonna bring back the world
I was born in
Open
My head to let
Peace swarm in
I’m not mourning the loss
Of my curses
No man
Ever turned down a flame
When it’s burning
Is this some kind of knowing
Holding tight to the rope
How does it feel to be free
When I let it go?
Inch by inch of this stairway
As I approach the sun
Now I know where it is
But it's already gone

Easy To Lose
02:32

I was stranded
On the border line
Left to dance along
The river that divides us
All my life
The good was hard to find
No one told me
There’s a place when you die
Were you really there
Were you talkin’ cheap
I thought I heard
You in my dreams
Easy to lose
Me in the blink of your eye
Why can’t you
See that I’ve been doing you right
Easy to lose
'Cause I ain’t lost my mind
You’ll never dress me
In your mannequin style
I was brought here
In a state of mind
Built it up so
I was by your side
All I wanted was
To pass the time
Didn’t know how
Much we intertwined
Is it really fair
(Fair to me)
Am I right to feel
(Feel for you)
I’ve driven in the nail too deep

Tongue of Yours
03:35
|

When will these old hands
Stop shakin’?
When’s the final blow?
I’ll take it
Do you really feel
Like fading out?
When will this old heart
Stop breakin’?
With that tongue of yours
Betraying
Who could really watch
This all play out?
Is there anywhere
Worth seeking?
Is there anyone
Who believes at all?
Oh I won’t
Be caught in the fall
I don’t wanna fear forever
Tangled at the knot together
Who’s it gonna be
When time runs out?
I don’t wanna be just friends
I can hear the storm ascending
Try to make amends
Don’t wear me down
Was there ever
Any danger?
Was it all to make
Me lose my mind?
Oh I won’t
Be the one left behind

I think I’m stressed
‘Cause I wonder how we tangled this web
Being there
I was unprepared
When we talk it out
It’s something to see
I no longer doubt
The tricks up your sleeve
All in
And I think of every chance that we get
We bend
Mmm so permanent
You wear me out
As much as you can
But with you now
I know where I stand
Jump ship
And we’ll leave behind this wreck
And just swim
To foreign ground
We don’t need to stick around
For once
We’re innocent
Ooh this necessary love we’re in
All is cut wide open
All is fair in exile (with you)
Lost under the ocean
All is fair in exile (with you)
