Two Devils 04:20
when you were younger you were blissful in youth now that you’ve gotten older you can see the brutal truth when you’re trapped between two devils and you don’t know where to turn what do you do? cause they took the angel from your shoulder tied her up and bent her over and gave a push when they offer you two evils and they say you’ve got to choose what do you do? i’d say pick the one you’ve never tried before sin - i’ll show you how it’s done so please excuse me if i just wanna have some fun sin - it gets a bad rap but when you’re bleeding on the pavement we’ll see who has the last laugh when you’re trapped between two devils and you don’t know where to turn what do you do? cause they took the angel from your shoulder tied her up and bent her over and gave a push when they offer you two evils and they say you’ve got to choose what do you do? i’d say pick the one you’ve never tried before love - i think it’s such a bore it’s your loss really cause romance is such a chore love - i’ve got no one so i’ll keep downing all these drinks til i forget i’m so lonesome when you’re trapped between two devils and you don’t know where to turn what do you do? cause they took the angel from your shoulder and gave a push when they offer you two evils and they say you’ve got to choose what do you do? i’d say pick the one you’ve never tried before i think i'll pick the one that i've never tried before

wake up my darling you’re a few days old and don’t yet know what’s in store oh yes my darling you don’t know pain and you sure as hell don’t know cold wake up my darling there’ll be plenty of time to sleep when it’s too late It might seem slow but it’ll be over before you can blink pushing daisies up from our bones where they’ll take us, nobody knows when the rains have washed away all our names from their permanent homes etched in stone cold grey wake up my darling you’ve got more days to remember now that you’re old wake up my darling you grew out of the habit of needing someone to hold wake up my darling i’ll stay with you until your hands grow cold It might seem slow but i’ll be worth it or so I’ve been told pushing daisies up from our bones where they’ll take us, nobody knows when the rains have washed away all our names from their permanent homes etched in stone cold grey wake up my darling do you even know who’s singing this song to you now? wake up my darling there’s so many things we didn’t find out, how? wake up my darling I’ll stay with you until your hands grow cold it might seem cruel, but it’ll be worth it or so I’ve been told pushing daisies up from our bones where they’ll take us, nobody knows when the rains have washed away all our names from their permanent homes etched in stone cold grey

Clear Skies 04:57
look out my window it’s the morning and i gaze upon an unforgiving view the leaves fallen they lie they forgotten, rotting on the ground the clouds have formed the storm is brewing sinister and stern still in my heart i’ll be thinking of you and dreaming of clear skies thinking of clear skies the time has come the winds they are a changing sending us someplace completely new though it might seem daunting draped in shadow shrouded in mystery remember without darkness light doesn’t mean a thing doesn't mean a thing i close my eyes and stand in a stillness to dream of a better time when things were simpler we didn’t have to worry bout the way things were or why but just because you dread a moment doesn’t mean it’ll never come so forgive my silence, i thought you knew and i thought you’d realize that i’m no good with goodbyes the time has come the winds they are a changing sending us someplace completely new though it might seem daunting draped in shadow shrouded in mystery remember without darkness light doesn’t mean a thing doesn't mean a thing take heart in the fact that you and i will meet again someday oh we must take comfort in the fact that I’ll still feel the same way i do now this I trust there can always be clear skies painted in your mind the time has come the winds they are a changing sending us someplace completely new though it might seem daunting draped in shadow shrouded in mystery remember without darkness light doesn’t mean a thing doesn't mean a thing

clearing out the clutter in the back of your mind kissing all the bruises that run up your spine tracing constellation through the freckles on your skin hanging round for someday though it’ll never begin cutting through the lines in the palm of your hand marks left on your neck holding you in my command tell me kiss and make up before things get too bad don’t let me make the tears come i know you get so sad i think i’m getting lost in the recess of my mind i can’t seem to find you but i can’t be left behind i think i’m getting lost in the moments of my life please don’t make me hurt you make me put away the knife patching up the weak spots on your alcoholic heart kissing all the hurt places that tear you apart trying just my damnedest to fix you up myself hiding all the sorrows in bottles on the shelf i think i’m getting lost in the recess of my mind i can’t seem to find you but i can’t be left behind i think i’m getting lost in the moments of my life please don’t make me hurt you make me put away the knife I say tell them it’s my fault I can’t keep in control i say tell them my fault im the reason for the blows i'll say that I’m to blame for loving you that way I'll say that im to blame and I’ll cry away my days packing up your things in a neatly folded stack crying and yelling telling him i won’t come back begging for forgiveness, though sorry just won’t do healing all the bruises by finally leaving you i think i’m getting lost in the recess of my mind i can’t seem to find you but i can’t be left behind i think i’m getting lost in the moments of my life please don’t make me hurt you make me put away the knife

River Song 03:26
Carry me down down to the river can you help me sew these rocks in my skin carry me down we’ll float together but you’ll emerge from the surface while i slowly start to drown oh let me be til crows come kiss me til water sighs so soft on my skin oh let me be til cold comes calling and when i’m frozen in the water i can finally learn to breathe And I won’t bother to say goodbye So don’t you worry when I’m gone Just go, go down, down to the river and sing, sing to me under the waves Just let me dream down by the river can you see the night closing in Oh just let me dream Of stiller waters And when i’m sleeping on the bottom I will never wake again And I won’t bother to say goodbye So don’t you worry when I’m gone Just go, go down, down to the river and sing, sing to me under the waves Carry me down down to the river can you help me sew these rocks in my skin carry me down we’ll float together but you’ll emerge from the surface while i slowly start to drown

Mother 04:51
Mother, Mother I know your face, or so it seems I think I’ve seen you in my dreams, My Mother, Mother Did you even say goodbye? When you left me there to die? Oh, Mother, Mother Did you find comfort in our strife Because you didn't gave me life? My, Mother, Mother And I know that I was bought, By daddy’s mistress, this i’m taught by Mother Mother, Mother You’re better than before it’s true, But what am I supposed to do, with Mother, Mother All the meals I never ate, When your words still carried weight, oh Mother, Mother I realize things take their time But there’s no reason there’s no rhyme, to you Mother, Mother I think that you meant well, But so do devils in their hell Like mother Mother, Mother I was young, I was naive Children shouldn’t have to grieve, Mother, Mother When you found me on the floor Did you know I needed more, from you Mother, Mother The bathtub’s filling up With my blood and with my guts Mother, Mother Tell me when I’ll realize That there’s no point in telling lies, to you Mother

I Will 03:34
We both know you’re stubborn and pretty dumb sometimes you forget where you put your things and chew your nails all the god damn time oh, but so much of the good in me is cause of you, i know it’s true when you smile your face has to stretch to fit it all in nothing quite lights up a room like that silly grin god you’re just so happy it’s quite hard to make you mad cause you work so hard to make everyone around you glad you know you do nothing feels quite as good as your hands when i wake up next to you nothing feels quite as right as your arms round me and we both know that i’m not one for writing love songs but for you, i think i Will so it comes as no surprise i think i like you being mine you make me feel alright when everything goes wrong and i can say with some certainty that we sure get along when i’m with you i’m absolutely never bored and i can say it feels pretty good to be adored you know it too nothing feels quite as good as your hands when i wake up next to you nothing feels quite as right as your arms round me and we both know that i’m not one for writing love songs but for you, i think i Will So I hope this reassures I think I quite like being yours

Caught Me thinking in the past It’s dark sometimes cause some memories didn’t last It’s tough to forgive the girl i used to be without poisoning the future i can see Now everything is gonna change Don’t know how i’ll feel But right now I just feel strange I don’t want to be apart from you for long so i’ll hide the aching in my song
