a treasure chest of holiness caress your breast with my best interest at heart,
is it hot?
captivating, money making, saviour i’m capitulating.
tell me, is it hot?
i wanna know all that you feel
i want to die beneath your iconography
paint me in red
so heartbreaking, its elating, in darkness she’s wailing
her father is waiting
show me, don’t stop
pressure building, walls are wielding, children need shielding
aid them, or not
i wanna know all that you feel
i want to die beneath your iconography
paint me in red
i wanna know all that you feel
i want to die beneath your iconography
mould me like clay
come and find my broken body
weighted beneath the pain and stones
peace behold my naked body
crowned and jewelled fit for a throne
come and see my shattered body
aching and crawled up
leave to rest my naked body
lonely and used up

don't be so hard on yourself (be so hard on yourself)
oh my rancid eyes that bleed rather than love themselves
its habitual, trained behaviour
and i'm sure it will pass with time before returning with a vengeance to seize my mind
i wanna seize my mind
don't be so hard on yourself (be so hard on yourself)
oh my solemn heart, who hurts rather than ease the pain in isolation,
avoiding connection
and i'm sure i will learn to face all the patterns i avoid and seize my mind
and seize my heart
oh my distant self who i hope exists free of these waves of sadness that i can't contain and keep resurfacing
is it possible she's not there and i'm holding on to something that isn't real?
and i will be this way
forever
don't be so hard on yourself (be so hard on yourself)
you are not the victim of cosmic warfare,
when you hurt yourself, it hurts me.
you have become the victim of your warfare,
you've got to learn to move on.
don't be so hard on yourself (be so hard on yourself)

i wore flowers in my hair for you and you didn't even notice.
i kept trying just to talk to you but when i did i was choking.
i searched every cliff and every path hoping i would run into you.
when i caught sight of you it stopped my heart and you didn't even notice
were you looking at me or did our eyes just accidentally meet?
did i catch your stare or do you not care at all?
i wore flowers in my hair for you and you didn't even notice.
i kept fighting just to talk to you but when i did you turned away.
i called for you right outside your house hoping i would run into you.
when i caught sight of you it stopped my heart and when i did i was choking.
were you looking at me or did our eyes just accidentally meet
did i catch your stare or do you not care at all
were you thinking of me or am i being egotistical
did i catch your stare or do you not care at all
were you looking at me or did our eyes just accidentally meet
did you mean to brush past or were you just in a rush

mourning

i guess i better mourn the relationship i want
cos it will never be
i know i should move past that argument at last
but you were so mean
you’ve tied up both my hands don't want to understand
and i cant force you to
so should i scream at a brick wall? its never your fault
(don't know how to behave around you its been so long since i last saw ya)
we’ve reached this point again and i can’t just pretend
everything's ok
we’ve both tried to escape, but there is no escape,
cos its not ok
you’ve beaten down my faith, don’t want this to create
irreparable pain
so should i ignore your calls, is this all my fault?
(don't know how to behave around you its been so long since i last saw ya)

last time we spoke you said you’d call
last time we spoke you said you’d call me
but you never did
honestly i’m not that surprised
honestly its what i half expected
last time we spoke you said you didn't want to talk about it
(i don't wanna talk about it)
last time we spoke you began to talk about it
and i said no.
honestly i wish we could
honestly i really wanted to
oh god what am i to you?
oh god i only tried to help.
oh god what am i to you?
i know you have the time.
last time i saw you you were crying
last time i saw you i felt bad
but now i don’t
honestly i don't know if you care
for you mind is tainted by the blackened heart
oh god what am i to you?
oh god i only tried to help.
oh god what am i to you?
i know you have the time.
i called but you never called me back
i left a message still you didn’t call back
i called but you never called me back
i left a message,
i get the message.
