Sit Up Straight

I sit up straight in the middle of the night
Shock to the system, fight or flight
Can't see a thing but I hear you breathing in the dark.
And my heart, my heart is beating
It beats so hard
And my heart, my heart is beating
My heart, my heart is beating.
I Wait still as a stone
The clock is ticking ever louder
And the ringing in my ears
Becomes all I can hear
With you creeping closer
And and your breathing's growing near
Frozen by my fear
I'm frozen by my fear

Please don't bother our dystopian father tonight.
Boiling anger makes you want to run and hide
Limitless power and a head full of hate
Doesn't matter what we do or say
I don't want to sleep tonight
So I'll try and get in your head
Breaking down all the parts
as you perform (them)
Feel your fears
Feel your dread
It takes us all down a notch.
The things you've done
The things you've said
Hold your tongue for our belligerent uncle
He has to have everything he wants
Childish tantrums, they work so well
Distracting us with the fear he sells
I don't want to sleep tonight
So I'll try and get in your head
Breaking down all the parts
as you perform (them)
Feel your fears
Feel your dread
It takes us all down a notch.
The things you've done
The things you've said

Freezing

Coiled up spring
So tense, so wound up
Let me go and see me fly
Leave the scene with a thousand fires burning.
You're still cold, no you're not cold you're freezing.
You're still cold, no you're not cold you're freezing.
Leave them all there, leave them all behind.
Leave them all there, leave them all behind.
Leave them all there, leave them all behind.
Leave them all there, leave them all behind.
It's not your fault that you're embroiled
In this awful story
This awful war, what you do is for
Survival and glory
You're so cold you feel warm, but you're not, you're freezing.
You're so cold you feel warm, but you're not, you're freezing.
Leave it all there, leave it all behind.
Leave it all there, leave it all behind.
Leave it all there, leave it all behind.
Leave it all there, leave it all behind.

How would you like to learn to swim?
Cauliflower Love
Puffing out the skin of her limbs
Cauliflower Love
If you swing too hard you'll kill the ball
What kind of service are you providing
Mr. Beaumont had rubber legs
Cauliflower Love
Brenda's explosive power in the wheelchair
Cauliflower Love
When you sing too hard you sound all wrong
What kind of service are you providing
I was taken to the home of a Dutch policeman
Cauliflower Love
I was so startled I lost my chance
Cauliflower Love
Man is like an auto teller
Always such a clever debtor

Lowlight

Lights are low
time to pretend
sun comes up
darkness descends
Cause and effect
tells me I'm wrong
Want to feel right, be right
Won't last long
In the light of day
It's a mistake
Feeling everything
feeling fake
Deconstruct myself
Somehow gets me through
Keeps me in the twilight, here with you

Would you believe
You could make the same mistake twice
Yeah, alright
Yeah, alright
And all you achieved
could be undone
by your bad decisions
But who would know
who's going to say
who's going to cross that line when you get in the way
Everyone around knows what you are
A goddamn, modern sophisticated star
Take what you want
Like it's all for you
You said it's good for them too
"After all, they were seeking admiration"
When they let you push them up against the wall
But who would know
who's going to say
who's going to cross that line when you get in the way
Everyone around knows what you are
A goddamn, modern sophisticated star
