Scare the Vultures

I never gave up on

Trying to be somebody else

I never gave up on

Feeling the way that I felt, with someone who’s not like you

 

I’ll remember that night

For the rest of my life

You told me to, cut the crap

Did I think you were blind

I was falling away and

You were willing to catch me

But how can I put

Myself in your hands

 

I’m sorry

For being so slow with these things

I need you

Much more than I would ever admit

I’m sorry

For being slow with these things

I needed you, I need you

 

I’ll never give up on

Trying to fix myself

I’ll never give up on

Finding someone who kisses my scars like you did

 

I’ll remember that night

For the rest of my life

You told me to, cut the crap

Did I think you were blind

I was falling away and

You were willing to catch me

But how can I put

Myself in your hands

 

I’m sorry

For being so slow with these things

I need you

Much more than I would ever admit

I’m sorry

For being slow with these things

I needed you, I need you

 

You could always see

What they were doing to me

You could always scare the vultures,

You could always scare the vultures,

You could always stop the rain

 

I’ll remember that night

For the rest of my life

You told me to, cut the crap

Did I think you were blind

I was falling away and

You were willing to catch me

But how can I put

Myself in your hands

 

I’m sorry

For being so slow with these things

I need you

Much more than I would ever admit

I’m sorry

For being slow with these things

I needed you, I need you

Don’t Look Away, Now

If I swear you’re exactly what I need

Would you stay, sleep a while with me

The fire’s burning slowly

But you know we could take the town, tonight

 

Don’t look away now

There’s nothing for you out there

This is what you’ve got now

Make it real before it fades away

You know how love can be, oh, oh, oh

 

If I run, it was never your fault

You don’t scare me but you do what you can

I want this and I want you

But you see, I keep wanting what’s bad for me

 

Don’t look away now

There’s nothing for you out there

This is what you’ve got now

Make it real before it fades away

You know how love can be, oh, oh, oh

 

Oh oh, oh

Oh oh, oh

 

Don’t look away now

There’s nothing for you out there

This is what you’ve got now

Make it real before it fades away

You know how love can be, oh, oh, oh

Don’t look away now

Don’t look away now

There’s nothing for you

Nothing for you,

Nothing for you out there,

My dear, there’s nothing for you out there

Don’t look away now

Smaller

Planet Earth, my lonely queen,

Everyone thinks you’re the whole world

As they’re falling off the edge,

As they’re falling off the edge

 

Sacred Sun, the only one

Your loneliness has just begun,

Say your prayers when you go to sleep,

Say your prayers when you go to sleep

 

I’m so much smaller than the sky

And even it won’t answer why

All my problems seem so big

Caught inside nets in my head

I’m so much smaller, I’m so much smaller than the sky

 

Jaws of life, how taste’s my blood?

Your one device of life and death

I run but I can’t escape the stars

I run but I can’t escape the stars

 

I’m so much smaller than the sky

And even it won’t answer why

All my problems seem so big

Caught inside nets in my head

I’m so much smaller, I’m so much smaller than the sky

 

I look up when I’m lost

I look up when I’m found

Planet Earth, my lonely queen,

Sacred Sun, the only one

Jaws of life, don’t let me bleed

My abstract eyes still haven’t seen

 

I’m so much smaller than the sky

And even it won’t answer why

All my problems seem so big

Caught inside nets in my head

I’m so much smaller, I’m so much smaller than the sky

Lose My Way

Greetings from another world,

You see I’ve been kissing stars.

Just big spaces of lit up hot air,

You see I’ve been kissing stars.

 

Got my head up in space

And I’m losing all my grace

And in the face of something great

I lose my way, I lose my way

 

Greetings from another girl,

You see I’ve been playing parts.

Just tiny bits of scripted life,

You see I’ve been playing parts.

 

Got my head filled up with ink

And I’m lost my will to think

And in the face of something great

I lose my way, I lose my way

 

And your Hollywood sign, finally in my sights

I heard you sing all day, about the way it shined

 

Got my head up in space

And I’m losing all my grace

And in the face of something great

I lose my way, I lose my way

Got my head filled up with ink

And I’m lost my will to think

And in the face of something great

I lose my way, I lose my way

For You

For you

For you, I’d risk it all

I’d walk til my feet bleed

Spend ten years in silence

Touch an open flame

For you, for you

Supergirl

You heard, I’m a supergirl

I’m here to save your world, tonight

You heard I’m a supergirl

And that’s what you can call me

When you say my name tonight

Super, super, super

 

It’s another dead end night

In the dead end part of town

Got your finger on the trigger

Cause the night is winding down

And you’re going home alone

But it’s not for lack of trying

They say you keep your standards high,

How’s this for expert climbing?

 

You heard, I’m a supergirl

I’m here to save your world, tonight

You heard I’m a supergirl

And that’s what you can call me

When you say my name tonight

Super, super, super

 

 

This one’s, got her heart on your sleeve,

But you know you’ll never get her undressed

That one’s, got the making’s of need,

But you know, she won’t be telling her friends you’re the best

So you’re going home alone

But it’s not for lack of trying

You keep your standards high,

How’s this for expert climbing?

 

Flying in, like a wild, wild dream in the night

What about love, he says, and I’m holding him tight

What about now, about tomorrow

But you know we take it one day at a time

When you’re putting your heart on the line

 

You heard, you heard you heard

Super, super, super

You heard, you heard you heard

Super, super, super

You heard, you heard you heard

Super, super, super

Well, Would You?

And now you’re sleeping next to me

But I’m still awake

Thinking bout kissing your eye lids, and

Everything in between

But I can’t help be cold at night

Cause I wonder if this could be right

If I fell behind, would you come back for me?

 

When I start to be a limb that just won’t work

Would you just cut me off, is that all I’m worth?

 

And I wonder if you dream in color,

Or maybe black and white,

Maybe it’s just reruns from another place and time

Maybe you can see the future,

I wonder if it’s bright,

Kissed your eye lids but I didn’t gain no insight,

Cause I wonder if this could be right,

If I fell behind, would you come back for me?

 

When I start to be a limb that just won’t work

Would you just cut me off, is that all I’m worth?

 

When I start to be a limb that just won’t work

Would you just cut me off, is that all I’m worth?

 

When I start to be a limb that just won’t work

Would you just cut me off, is that all I’m worth?

 

When I start to be a limb that just won’t work

Would you just cut me off, is that all I’m worth?

 

If I start to fall behind, would you come back for me?

Picked

You wanna steal a little part of me

You wanna dig yourself a hole in my skin

Make a home of something scary

I won’t tell you how to begin

 

We’ll fit like squares in circles

Jammed into coziness

You’ll smooth out all my edges

And we won’t hold hands, we’ll just touch wrists

 

Keep your chaos over there

Just hang it off your lips

You know I picked you for my poison

I intend to drink all of it, yeah

I intend to drink all of it, yeah

 

But you’re not a switchblade lover,

Something to sharpen my tongue on,

If I wanted just a pretty mess

I’d paint myself in his bloody kiss

And we won’t hold hands,

We won’t hold hands,

We won’t hold hands we’ll touch wrists

 

Keep your chaos over there

Just hang it off your lips

You know I picked you for my poison

I intend to drink all of it, yeah

I intend to drink all of it, yeah

Learning To Like

When I cry to you

Do you think that I

Should get it all together inside

Do you want to tell me

To just go away

Am I something you hate to see when you wake up?

 

Are my problems your problems,

Because you care, or because I made it that way?

 

If you don’t want to be here then leave,

Cause I would rather be alone than beg you to stay,

If you don’t want to be here then go,

I learned to like you here, I guess I’ll learn to like to be alone.

 

When I laugh to you

Do you think that I

Am I just some kind of child

Do you want to tell me

Just to be quiet

Are you laughing with me or at me, now?

 

If you don’t want to be here then leave,

Cause I would rather be alone than beg you to stay,

If you don’t want to be here then go,

I learned to like you here, I guess I’ll learn to like to be alone.

 

I smile cause you smile,

But if you don’t care than I’ll learn to care a little less.

I smile cause you smile,

But I don’t wanna be forced onto your mind when I’m not there

If I’m not there at all,

I’ll be fine

 

If you don’t want to be here then leave,

Cause I would rather be alone than beg you to stay,

If you don’t want to be here then go,

I learned to like you here, I guess I’ll learn to like to be alone.

If

If I was alive tonight, I would tell you everything’s fine

I would hold you til the sunrise, I would tell you everything’s fine

If I was alive tonight, I would show you what you mean

I know I had the chance, But now I’ll never have the chance

If I was alive tonight, I would write your name in stars

Cause it’s forever on my tongue On the inside of my eyelids,

The one song that’s being sung.

If I was alive tonight, I would hold you til the sunrise.

 

If you never knew

I needed you, maybe more than you needed me

I needed you, even more than you need me now

 

If I was alive tonight, we would be lighting all the candles

We would be wishing on the stars, we would be sitting in the moonlight

If I was alive tonight, then you be, too

I know you have the chance, don’t you know have a chance,

If I was alive tonight, I would hold you sunrise.

 

If you never knew

I needed you, maybe more than you needed me

I needed you, even more than you think you need me now

 

Every sunray, every cool breeze,

Every shooting star, I hope you see me

Every goose bump, every tickle,

Every good dream, I hope you see me

 

If you never knew

I needed you, maybe more than you needed me

I needed you, even more than you think you need me now

 

I needed you more, I needed you more

If I was alive tonight,

I would tell you everything’s fine,

I would hold you til the sunrise,

I hope you see me

I hope you see me

I had the chance, now I’ll never have a chance

Swearing

I was thinking of lies

That I would have to tell

You came to mind,

And that’s no lie.

Cause all the times I’ve needed you

I’ve pretended you were there

And if you care don’t swear to it,

I don’t care for those who swear.

Penny

So you say you want a friend

But you don’t know where to find one

Don’t know how to tell time

Clock right on the wall

And aren’t I invisible?

My face, too, just a scenery to you, oh.

A scenery to you, oh.

 

My pants weighed down

With pockets full of pity

But I don’t have any money,

Could you spare a penny, honey?

My pants weighed down

With pockets full of pity,

Seems I’m out of my money,

So you give a belt, honey,

You see, I have no pennies to spare.

 

And you creep into your bed

So your nightmares never find you

Don’t know how to sleep

With the time ticking by

And aren’t I a pillow?

Comfortably numb, under your thumb,

Under your thumb

 

My pants weighed down

With pockets full of pity

But I don’t have any money,

Could you spare a penny, honey?

My pants weighed down

With pockets full of pity,

Seems I’m out of my money,

So you give a belt, honey,

You see, I have no pennies to spare.

 

And if you ever feel inclined to bite your tongue

I invite you to listen to anything around you

The clicking of the pennies that you walk on by

The clicking of the pennies that you walk on by

 

My pants weighed down

With pockets full of pity

But I don’t have any money,

Could you spare a penny, honey?

My pants weighed down

With pockets full of pity,

Seems I’m out of my money,

So you give a belt, honey,

You see, I gave my pennies,

So I have no penny at all.

No I have no pennies at all.

I gave my penny,

I gave my penny,

I gave my penny

And now I have no pennies at all.
