Lying here in your arms I wait for the light to steal you away Hold my finger to your lips, hush don't speak of this No 'Cus I feel so alive I feel as if I could take this moment and somehow make it right The night keeps us safe inside this dream Don't break the spell, don't break the spell I kiss the shadows on your face, I chase the dark as it slowly slips away Hold my finger to your lips, hush don't speak of this No 'Cus I feel so alive I feel as if I could take this moment and somehow make it right I'd walk through fire if it'd only keep you here Don't break the spell, Don't break the spell You are the drug that is coursing through my veins I thought time had managed to erase So strange how seven years can melt away so fast With just one kiss we fell into this, with just one kiss Can we stay like this? Lying here in your arms I wait for the light to steal you away Hold my finger to your lips, hush don't speak of this No 'Cus I feel so alive I feel as if I could take this moment and make the ending right I'd walk through fire if it'd only keep you here Don't break the spell, don't break the spell

The darkness in your eyes draws me in and pulls me under It's like I've never seen the sunlight steal the night So I let you take the wheel cus I feel my senses falling Oh and I wanna fall, yeah I need to fall for you this time To feel the flames on my skin To feel the flames So I breathe a little deeper cus my heart is making promises, If I just let go this time I'll be OK And I know I shouldn't be here but that makes it so much sweeter I leave my mind at the door because I want to taste more of you this time To feel the flames on my skin To feel the flames What if we're all lost Dancing over lines we should not cross Biting down on fruit that tastes so sweet Hoping that the sugar makes the madness sleep tonight As the night fills my bones I hold on to this feeling You chase the madness away again, now I can sleep And I know it's no solution, but I love to feel the fire Cus the adrenaline high lets me know I'm alive again, this time To feel the flames on my skin To feel the flames What if we're all lost Dancing over lines we should not cross Biting down on fruit that tastes so sweet Hoping that the sugar makes the madness sleep tonight

The world is big, but I feel so small I cut my fingers on everything cus I can't let go I can't breathe tonight, I can't breathe tonight I've got a newsman shouting in my head again He's painting pictures of chaos as the world falls in I can't breathe tonight I can't breathe tonight Have you every felt lost as a child when the stars fall down Held your head in your hands to try to block the sound My mind is on fire but I can't slow it down So I'm just spinning around, spinning around Won't you stop me please I paint my lips with scarlet ink Looking in from the outside I know you'd never think I can't breathe tonight, I can't breathe tonight I'm gonna lose my head in a sea of drink Dancing crazy to feel the music spark within Cus I can't breathe tonight, I can't breathe tonight Am I the only one who feels this The only one who feels afraid of the circles that we're running in The lights are on but no-one feels at home I watch the TV just to get my sugar fix Cus I'm surrounded by the headlines that are screaming out Screaming out for me to be The girl who stands so tall Who fights to save the world Won't let the people fall But still I'm frightened by these headlines and these voices in my head To do some good with all these feelings That are building up and threatening to break My sense of justice as my eyes cling to the floor Cus I refuse to make excuses that there's nothing more that I could ever do to change It gets so The world is big but I feel so small I cut my fingers on everything cus I can't let go I can't breathe tonight, I can't breathe tonight It's getting late, I need to numb my soul I've found a friend in this whisky who'll help me lose control So I can breathe tonight, I need to breathe tonight.

about

This collection of 3 songs were written and recorded some time ago. They're deeply personal for me. They speak to some of the many and varied ways I've navigated overwhelming feelings as someone that hears voices, sees visions and has spent a long time working my way through all of this. It was recorded at The Crash Factory back in 2007.
