Broken

You’re a little bit damaged
I’m a sucker for that
I wanna take you in my hands
Wanna bring you back
You’re a little bit damaged
I’m a sucker for that
I wanna fill up the spaces
And be everything you lack
You’re a little bit jaded
And you’re closing the door
And all that you felt then
You don’t feel it anymore
I’m the picture that’s faded
I’m the love you don’t trust
Take the girl out from under glass
And she’ll always want too much
I know
You’re just
Broken
I know
You’re just
Broken
You’re just
Broken
You’re a little bit damaged
I’m a sucker for that
So in the moment I lost you
I wanted you back
But that’s a feeling that’s faded
And I’m closing the door
And all that I felt then
I don’t feel it anymore
I know
You’re just
Broken
I know
You’re just
Broken
You’re just
Broken
You’re just
Broken
You’re just
Broken
You’re just
Broken
You’re just
Broken

As The Stars
04:47

Baby put a record on
I’ve been waiting all night long to touch you
Standing in my pretty dress
If you asked me I’d say yes
So take it off
Love, turn out the light
And hold me like tomorrow might not come
Fall upon my breast and let
Your fever find its death against my skin
And slowly
As the summer breeze and
Silent as the stars
This night is ours
Baby, tell me everything
With your hands
You know we don’t need words
Yeah you talk about forever with your fingers
But you know I’m already yours
Already yours
And slowly
As the summer breeze and
Silent as the stars
This night is ours
And sometime when I’m asleep
You’ll curl up next to me
Thinking, I know what I’m doing here
Soon the sun will come to part
The curtains of the night
And slowly
As the summer breeze and
Silent as the stars
This night is ours
This night is ours

White Sheets

White sheets
I can’t believe I’m
Still asleep, still beneath
He’s come to rest
Head and heart
He’s on my chest
He falls so hard
I’m crushed
It’s what I asked for
Some kind of weight to hold me down
I’m lost, I’m in his mouth
Cradled by his sounds…
Soft light
A perfect dawn
A moment held, a moment gone
And all day
This will be my
Secret place
Where I can taste him
Long gone
It’s what I asked for
Some kind of space to float around and
Eyes wide
I am awake now
Cursed by the freedom that I’ve found
I’ll come when you least expect it
Close your eyes you won’t regret this
Love comes when you least expect it
Warm night
A silent breeze
And I’m up against the wall
Strong hands
And hips to hold me
Still I’m afraid that I will fall
I’m crushed
It’s what I asked for
Some kind of weight to hold me down
Eyes wide
I am awake now
Cursed by the freedom that I’ve found
I’ll come when you least expect it
Close your eyes you won’t regret this
Love comes when you least expect it
Close your eyes you won’t regret this
Love comes when you least expect it

Ghost You Know
04:07
|
|||
There’s a room in my house where I stumble
Over a memory
There’s a light in the night and I wonder
If you’ve come back for me
Well it’s a little too late to say sorry
But don’t be so hard on me
Ghost, you know
I can’t go back
Come like a whisper in silence
A brush on my skin
A shadow that flies by door
But I’m wanting more
Well it’s a little too late to say sorry
But don’t be so hard on me
Ghost, you know
I can’t go back
Like a song in my ear you are near me
Here like a time machine
Ghost, you keep
Pulling me back
If you’ve been here all the while
Watching me drift by and by
Waiting for something to fill me up
Ghost, close your eyes
I can silence the voice in my head
And hear you instead
Whisper and sing for me again
Rise from the dead
Well it’s a little too late to say sorry
But don’t be so hard on me
Ghost, you know
I can’t go back
Like a song in my ear you are near me
Here like a time machine
Ghost, you keep pulling me back
Sometimes you lose everything
Or gave it away
Well it’s hard to say now

Solipsist
04:09
|
|||
Here in the dark
Dizzy from the stars that light your face
The winter makes you shake
Let me be the warm place
'Cause I burn with the fire of a lifetime
Waiting for you
If nobody sees us
Do we exist?
Don’t ever fall in love with a
Solipsist
If I'm falling to pieces
Can he make me whole?
If nobody sees me break
Will I make it on my own?
You burn through the film
In shades of the sunrise
And I am the moon
Ablaze in the first light
You burn through the film
In shades of the sunrise
And I am the moon
Ablaze in the first light
I’ve been watching their faces
I’ve seen through their eyes
Wandered through places
Where the desperate tell their lies
And they pass like an ocean
Over my skin
I’ve been holding my breath for years
So they won’t get in
You burn through the film
In shades of the sunrise
And I am the moon
Ablaze in the first light
You burn through the film
In shades of the sunrise
And I am the moon
Ablaze in the first light
You burn through the film
In shades of the sunrise
And I am the moon
Ablaze in the first light
Ablaze in the first light
Ablaze in the first light

Well you don’t fit in
Thank god
But you don’t know what you’ve got
So you try to be like them
But you’re not
And you’re almost dead
Almost dead
You’re almost dead
And I wish I could hang out up in the sky
And be the light to shine you home
So I write another song about the darkness
And how you’re not alone
So you try to find a hole
Deep enough to lie in
There’s comfort in the cold
I know
When you’re almost dead
Almost dead
When you’re almost dead
And I wish I could hang out up in the sky
And be the light to shine you home
So I write another fucking song about the darkness
And how you’re not alone

Hiding in Plain Sight
03:41
|
|||
Like a master of disguise in a torn-up old dress
I’ve been
Hiding in plain sight
And making a mess,
Bring me back my heart
This is it
I am ready for the cure
I am sick of being sick
Come to my senses
And feel the things I've never felt
I can’t pretend this is anything but love itself
So don’t go tonight
Stay make everything all right
Like a veteran of war
Haunted by day
I’ve been trying to ignore what never goes away
Visions in my head
Blind as I’ve been
I try to shut them out b
But they already got in
Come to my senses
And feel the things I've never felt yeah
I can’t pretend this is anything but love itself
So don’t go tonight
Stay make everything all right
Something in my chest
A sound I’ve never heard
I’ve been living in my head
And it's always the same words
Save me from myself
This is my disease
The ringing in my ears and body in deep-freeze
Come to my senses
And feel the things I've never felt
I can’t pretend this is anything but love itself
So don’t go tonight
Stay make everything all right

Don't want to go where they are cruel and cold
Turning me into stone
Making me dry
Give me this warmth
A sunbeam to live in
A window to look out of
Misery blooms on the stem of suppression
The world that you see is the one you believe
Sleeping in poppies
Lost in the forest
Out of the sky, into the sea
Disappear under here pulled by the tide
Give me an island
I am an island
Don't want to go where they pull out the mold
Casting me out of clay
Making me dry
Give me this warmth
A sunbeam to live in
A window to look out of
Shut out the sights
And pull tight the sheets
They live in the dark and their faces you see
By the sliver of light through a cracked open door
Castles and kings await you my sweet
Dragons will fly you
Far, far from here
Where the concrete enfolds you
And they mold you of steel
Out of the sky, into the sea
Disappear under here pulled by the tide
Give me an island
I am an island
Out of the sky, into the sea
Disappear under here pulled by the tide
Give me an island
I am an island

Reasons to Fall
03:11
|
|||
We’re on a wire
But it’s better than drowning
And I don’t care if I fall
'Cause I’ve never been higher
Everything's changing but I don’t care
For sameness
Cuz safety makes graves of the fearful
I find
A ride on a wave
A home on a wind-blown cloud
Make your body loud
For me
Could you be safe in my arms
And scared at the same time
Running towards and away
’Til you’re standing still
The mystery’s calling
Come if you dare
And find what is there
When you tear down the walls
No you’re gonna wait
'til the moment is certain
While I’ve been out searching for reasons to fall
Hard is the ground
You’re wrapping your arms around
Could you be safe in my arms
And scared at the same time
Running towards and away
’Til you’re standing still
Could you be safe in my arms
And scared at the same time
Running towards and away
’Til you’re standing still

Love Gone Wrong
04:16
|
|||
Sleepwalking
I’m running
On automatic
Like Prozac-girl
Indifferent
Nothing much matters
What is this
Clinging to images sacred?
No longer making love
Just getting naked
Why am I still
Holding on
To a love gone wrong?
Why am I still
Holding on
To a love gone wrong?
As if it’s all in you
Hand to hold
Raison d’etre
Romantic notion
Like beautiful swimming in love like an ocean
What is this clinging to images sacred?
No longer making love
Just getting naked
Why am I still
Holding on
To a love gone wrong?
Why am I still
Holding on
To a love gone wrong?
Why am I still
Holding on
To a love gone wrong?
Why am I still
Holding on
To a love gone wrong?
As if it’s all in you
I’ve got to crawl out of this whole
I’ve got to crawl out of this whole
I’ve got to crawl out of this whole
What is love?
I want to feel something real
Like a car crash
When I land
I will be shaken
Awakened to Now
Like a flash In a dream of the waking world
Why am I still
Holding on
To a love gone wrong?
Why am I still
Holding on
To a love gone wrong?
Why am I still
Holding on
To a love gone wrong?
Why am I still
Holding on
To a love gone wrong?
Why am I still
Holding on?

Joshua

Whenever I fall
Taking all the chances I can
I put my world in your command
I'm back in the dark
And far from taking that path
Again
To where we
Shine in the face of all that’s to come
Saying my love, this song is for you
I lie in a space of daydreams gone wrong
Thinking my love, what happened to you?
And standing up tall, taller
Learning my glow
Living in light I made on my own
You do as you please
Go be a slave to your mind
All of the while
I’ll be
Holding this moment
Remember me
When we’d
Shine in the face of all that’s to come
Saying my love, this song is for you
I lie in a space of daydreams gone wrong
Thinking my love, what happened to you?
Love isn’t thought
And it’s not
Just a place to call home
Love isn’t pain
Or a face you can own
Love isn’t touch
Not the crutch of a shoulder to lean on
You’re gone
But it’s not

Lauren Hoffman Los Angeles, California
music is exceptionally useful for communicating the nuance and complexity of the human experience because it is an emotional language, we process and respond to it in a different way than thoughts, beyond the limits of linguistics. that's why it's special and mysterious and i love it. that's why i write and sing and play instruments and make records. that's why i share my songs with you. ... more
