Compartmentalize
04:48
|

|
Calloused hips and dried out lips
From everyone that I faked love with
Empty heart but not empty compartments
As I compartmentalize
Last night I fell in love again
For the millionth time this year
Just another Monday
I want you to stay
I hate to be alone
I can't get any more honest than this
Breathe air in and breathe you out
Could I ever forgive myself
For the things I cannot seem to say aloud
Trigger pulled I hope your proud
That night I fell out of love again
For the first time you took it all
Just another memory
I wanted you to leave
You stole my innocence
Can't get any more honest
Than this
Maybe it was all my fault
Did I lead you on did I lead you there
Maybe these words are useless
Self worth has no grip on me
It just slips right through
These cracks that sever me
Maybe it was all my fault
Or did I carry the weight of your sin this far

White Sands

White sands draw me in
Like a warm, warm bed
Comatose, give me rest
Give me rest
My lungs collect dust
From the things I'm not proud of
My throat is an open
Open grave
So I'll spit it out in hope
That you're proud
Fill me with holy water
This salty air I breathe
Lungs open heart is ready
I want to recover
And receive
Draw your plans before me
In the sands I'll be waiting
Awakened with fear
The roar of it all sits beside me
So I'll soak it in the end
I'm just dust
Fill me with holy water
Cleansed now you drown out my sin
I want to recover
Draw me in
Draw me in

26 Days

It's been 26 days
I can't escape
Your marble eyes, sweet face
It's been a blur
These days go by
I feel this emptiness
Always by my side
All this time I feel the sun
Where the Turia meets Mediterranean
Say you'll be there by the sea
I feel connected
Where the oceans meet
It's been 36 days
I can't escape
Your marble eyes, sweet face
I'm rendering these memories
Of cigarette lips, ripped up jeans
And that sweatshirt I never thought I'd keep
It's the first time I've been this honest
Honestly I want to keep you around
All this time, I feel the sun
Where the Turia meets Mediterranean
Say you'll be there, by the sea
I feel connected
Where the oceans meet

Alone
04:09

I am alone again
The silence eats away my skin
When I am with him
I feel happier than I've ever been
Who am I to say your mine
You weren't even there that time
That I felt like I could die
Now my heart is on the line
My head is spinning
Can you stop this pain
This is me now
Am I different than you knew
Who am I to say your mine
You weren't even there that time
That I felt like I could die
Now my heart is on the line
You're the one I want for time
I told you that a million times
Now you're walking away I
Sit here and cry
Who am I now
Is it myself that I can't find
You know I miss you
Today more than yesterday
Who am I to say your mine
You weren't even there that time
That I felt like I could die
Now my heart is on the line
You're the one I want for time
I told you that a million times
Now you're walking away I
Sit here and cry

Winter air
I want you to be healthy again
I want you to speak calmly
Lay my voice softly at your feet
You push it away kick dirt in my face
I'm cleansed
I'm cleansed
You're winter air in June
Freezing my lungs
Freezing my lungs
You're oxygen on the moon
There's never enough of you
You're winter air in June
Freezing my lungs
Freezing my lungs
You're oxygen on the moon
There's never enough of you

Ghosts
03:50
|

|
This ghost in my bones only comes around
So often
When he does he brings a match
And gasoline
Your lips they were the alcohol
Ignite me
Strike a match on your mouth
Watch me burn
As far as I know these ashes last forever
I've spread the across so many
Oceans and seas
The tide always washes them back
The air tastes of poison
I swear I taste your cool breath in the breeze
Now I'm drunk on these words
Claiming change is easy
All it takes is an empty hand
And open mind
I know this type well you'll never be happy
Always reaching for something to clear
Your narrow mind
As far as I know these ashes last forever
I've spread the across so many
Oceans and seas
The tide always washes them back
The air tastes of poison
I swear I taste your cool breath in the breeze

Summer Fever
03:42
|

|
With life like the summer
You wait and it's overrated
But you're like the summer fever
Burning a fire in my chest
Let's take this forrest fire
and set it ablaze in my bed
I miss the feel of feeling and
I've stopped calling sadness my friend
Once I slowed down this
Life stopped running and
Time is elusive now
That I quit counting and
I felt the chords of death as they
Wrapped around my body and
My heart was tied by my
Self destructive living
Keep dancing in your language when I'm
Still learning how to play dead
Be my logic when I'm
Swimming so deep in my head
These four padded walls have me
Wasted on shared oxygen
Once I slowed down this
Life stopped running and
Time is elusive now
That I quit counting and
I felt the chords of death as they
Wrapped around my body
My heart was tied by my
Self destructive tendencies
I'm on my way down from this
Mountain made for hiking and
The sun breathed new life
Unconsciousness is fading away
Fading away
Fade away

Purify
03:40
|
|||
|
All I am is where my soul resides
Purify my lips, sanctified
Replace this taste of emptiness
I've filled all my insides
I'll search my heart and be silent
If I'm being honest, I'd rather go my own way
The moon directs the tide
I feel the pull in my heart
But have I gone too far
I come back time and time again
All I am is where my soul resides
Purify my lips they taste like sweet wine
If I'm being honest, I'd rather go my own way
If I'm being honest, I destroy myself everyday

Very original, creative songs, musically interesting compositions and such a beautiful voice, Great album. Thank you Alice. I attended your concert at Arlanda's Fruit Barn Cafe on Nth Stradbroke Island. Fabulous night that was. I cannot choose a favourite track really but if you forced my arm i'd probably say Brain In Their Claws.
