HEARTBREAK & TACOS
If you don't love me anymore
I hope they burn down the taco stand where we first met
If you don't love me anymore
Can I get a lobotomy so I can forget
Your face lying sideways
The day when you said "I love you" too soon
Damn
I can't
Get you
Out of my head
If you don't love me anymore
Would that change if I send you ten million texts?
If you don't love me anymore
I'm sure people survive on just
gin and cigarettes
Your skin on my skin and how
we came together the last time we
Fuck
I can't
Get you
Out of my Head
If I didn't love you anymore
I'd kiss the next guy who offered to carry my amp
If I didn't love you anymore
I'd eat three full meals a day
And sleep like a champ
I know we weren't perfect, I know all the odds stacked against us
Do you think there's a chance for us
I still believe true love wins in the
Fuck!
I can't
Get you
Out of my head

The Chemical

Who else will hold me in the dark
Bring the mystery to life
Make me who I want to be?
Who else will make me feel alright
Don't call it a disease
It's just the way I am
If I could be good
Don't you think I would?
Shake the chemical
Take a better road
Away from myself
I wanna get gone
And after all I've done
You think that I could change?
I'm on a broken path
There's no going back
And all I've got is poison
Running through my veins
The only medicine
Is more of the same
Shake the chemical
Take a better road
Away from myself
I wanna get gone

Mercury girls
They love you like flowers
They fall off the stem if you
Hold onto them for too long
Wake up to find
She's wilted beside you
She's hiding her mind from you
Saving her secrets for songs
Can you make me
An earthling, a creature who wants what it needs?
It's a curious thing
She looks like the rest of us
Under the skin
She's got different blood
And it's feeding her from within
How can you find
A portal to reach her
A wavelength to speak to her
After all she's been a Mercurian for some time
Don't fall
Don't fall walking high on the edge like that
What goes up on Earth must come down
The heat, the sunlight
They're too much for her
But she's burning for love
Til it burns to the ground

I like to find little place in my mind to go home to
Is there a place we can find that we all can belong to
The tide is rising we can’t hold each other tight enough
The sky is crying to see all that we have done
I like to sing and believe all we are is this moment
Here have a drink please don’t think anymore ‘bout the world
Do a little dance make a little love get down tonight
It’ll be alright be alright it won’t be alright!
The fire’s burning and we breath
Into the flames
The earth keeps turning she won’t stop
Although we’ve lost our way
I like to be in his arms and it feels like we’re one thing
I like to sit in the yard and stare into the fire
I like to dance when the music’s loud late in the night
I’ve got my eyes closed I know that we’re falling apart
The sun is rising we can stare at the horizon
Please hold my hand I can’t get there alone
(The sun is / Rising / I want to / See the light /
Come on love / Hold my hand / I want you / By my side)

Lost Cause

You can’t burn the witch
The disease is inside
You think one little fix
And he’ll be by your side
Did you know strong women get suckered too
There’s a trick those sneaky little fuckers do
Love made you weak, now get stronger
Gotta give him up baby he’s a lost cause
Get off your back, you’re better than that
Gotta give him up baby he’s a lost cause
He ain’t all that, he won’t be the last
Next time I’ll be on top
And you’ll be going down
I know what I want
I’m not fuckin around
You know a fairy tale is just a beautiful lie
But you wanna believe you’re gonna save his life
Well you can’t believe it any longer
Gotta give him up baby he’s a lost cause
Get off your back, you’re better than that
Gotta give him up baby he’s a lost cause
He ain’t all that, he won’t be the last

Shadow Of The Moon

The innocents
Didn't know their plans
Though they made them free
For the world to see
Could you stand for what's right in the dark of night?
Could you stand your ground though they may burn you down?
We can't go back
To before the attack
There's blood on the streets, in our eyes
Just a speck on the earth
Just a day lost in time
As we stand in the shadow of the moon
Now the veil is torn
In a single moment
As we hear that sound, see bodies on the ground
Could I stand for what's right, though it might mean my life?
Can I carry this weight, can I hold all this pain...
Now the flowers are gone
All the chalk washed away
Will you still
Say
Her
Name
We can't go back
To before the attack
There's blood on the streets, in our eyes
Just a speck on the earth
Just a day lost in time
As we stand in the shadow of the moon

Fix Me Up Love
03:28
|
|||
How do you know if you've lost your way
When the signs all say, nothing's changed
The people you know, the faces they show you
They're strange but they aren't to blame
It's just something that you can't explain
And every day, people say they know the way
To a day where there's no more pain
But how do they know
You ask them to show you but it's hollow behind their claims
It's just something that they can't explain
So fix me up love, show me the way
Make me be good, I want to change
Fix me up love, show me the way
I've been confused, I've been tortured and bruised
Searching for some shimmering muse
But the righteous and proud they shout so loud
So convinced are they of their truth
But it's something that they cannot prove
I need a little minute
Let me get back to the start
Yeah hold on world, shut up slow down
Let me get back to my heart
Fix me up love, show me the way
Make me be good, I want to change
Fix me up love, show me the way

Carried Away
03:29

One hand on my back
One over your mouth
You hold me but you
Hold your love down
I watch you struggle
Fighting the tide
That carries us away
I wished for this
To know what it is
Love like flood
Stronger than the wind
I watch you struggle
Fighting the tide
That carries us away
Don't hold your hands up
Baby can't you see
This is the end now
The end for me
Nowhere to go
I'm so into you
Nowhere to go now
I heard the stories
Didn't believe
It could happen
To me
Now I'm in trouble
Lost in the tide
That carries us away
Don't leave this feeling
Inside of me
You put it there
So how can you leave
Oh I'm in trouble
Broken by the tide
That carries us away
Don't hold your hands up
Baby can't you see
This is the end now
The end for me
Nowhere to go
I'm so into you
Nowhere to go now

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
