Wild
02:57

I've been a drunk I've been around
I've been a fool all over this town
all of the shiny bits of me
I gave them all away for free
oooh
you can find me in the crowd
always the one to buy the next round
I’ll wear a smile so you won’t see
the void that takes ahold of me
oooh
oh, how much fun this will be
one night turns quickly into three
and when they’re looking back at me
they’ll say I was young and wild and free
oooh

Poison
03:03
|
|||
my cells are churning
on fire, burning
for your touch
for your touch
my name plays on your lips
I can't fight this
it hurts too much
hurts too much
I’ll never stop drinking
I’ll never stop drinking
your poison
your poison
oh, I’ll never stop drinking
I’ll never stop drinking
your poison
your poison
my head is ringing
my body singing
I’m writing
a symphony
your absence leaves in me
a silent tragedy
a tragedy
I’ll never stop drinking
I’ll never stop drinking
your poison
your poison
oh, I’ll never stop drinking
I’ll never stop drinking
your poison
your poison
it’s caustic, obnoxious, addictive, vindictive
in my veins, it’s science, you remove my conscience
and I’ll never stop drinking
I’ll never stop drinking
your poison
your poison
oh, I’ll never stop drinking
I’ll never stop drinking
your poison
your poison
I’ll never stop
I’ll never stop
drinking your poison
oh, I’ll never stop
I’ll never stop
drinking your poison
your poison

Silent Hysteria
04:20
|
|||
I was never a small child
always been too loud
followed by this dark cloud
and in all my violent swells
I guess you could always tell
I will never be an ebbing tide
so you told me you could never be
near me when I frowned,
you might drown
you might drown
so I put on a smile for you and now it’s me drowning
Silent Hysteria, oh, Silent Hysteria
drink it down, drink it down
oh, now you must never find me
I know I cannot stay
I’m floating away
‘cause when I look into your eyes
my worst fears are realized
you see me as some player in a scene
well what’s the point of all this misery
in lieu of vulnerability,
light the match, set me free
set me free
oh, you tell everybody that I’m so fucking crazy
Silent Hysteria, oh, Silent Hysteria
drink it down, drink it down
don't be hysterical, girl, this is a man's world
don't be hysterical, girl, this is a man's world
drink it down, drink it down
Silent Hysteria, oh, Silent Hysteria

oh, you tell me a story of how we'll be so great
just wait and see ooo, ooo
hey mister mister

hey mister mister
all this hate for love is tearing me apart
hey mister mister
won’t you draw me a map and show me
where to start
yes tell me now
how should I feel? how should I feel?
oh, you tell me a story of how we'll be so great
just wait and see ooo, ooo
hey mister mister
I am lifting up my hands for you to steer
hey mister mister
I heard you have had God whispering in your ear
hey mister mister

and who to fear
yes tell me now

You Were Right
03:54
|
|||
are these still my hands?
I can’t feel them,
don’t recognize them anymore
I just toss and turn,
I don’t dream like I dreamed,
before…
cause you were right about me,
about everything
how do I get past
this person that you see?
oh, oh, oh
another false start,
I am slow to hang
the shelves I claimed from you
boxes line my floor,
how do I unpack
all I lacked for you…
cause you were right about me,
about everything
how do I get past
this person you see?
oh, oh, oh
oh you, you wanted a home
so I gave you my heart
it was not enough,
it had no moving parts
now we’re paralyzed,
waiting in the dark
there’s no getting back to what we had
at the start, yeah
to what we had at the start
cause you were right about me,
about so many things
oh, but you were wrong too
I am more than what you see
than what you see, yeah
more than what you see, yeah
I’m more than what you see
I’m more than what you see

Shipwrecked
03:01
|
|||
don’t take me down to the water
I know I’ll simply be pulled under
then you will see the truth of me
and I may be lost for eternity
back on our Audubon
smoke and laughter all around
three drops of magic in the sea
swimming toward serendipity
oh, you said that we were gonna be
Titans, a merry pack of queens
and we believed as you believe
when life is green and full of dreamsso don’t take me down to the water
I know I’ll simply be pulled under
then you will see the truth of me
and I may be lost for eternity
I go back to that gray day
phone rang, I drove straight away
then we were two, a shipwrecked crew
who nearly drowned in the wake of you
so don’t take me down to the water
I know I’ll simply be pulled under
and you will see the truth of me
and I may be lost
at sea, at sea, at sea

LIVE: Blood in the Water
04:09
|
|||
there’s blood in the water
my heart fell off my sleeve
well don’t come any closer
unless you have what I need
oooh, oooh
can’t see in the water
my reflection lies to me
I know you’re down there somewhere
just waiting for me to bleed
oooh, oooh
there’s blood in the water
my heart fell off my sleeve
don’t come any closer
unless you have what I need
there’s blood in the water
the scent of fear draws you near
there’s blood in the water
I know that’s why you’re here
oooh, oooh
oooh, oooh
