No rules, no rules You said there were no rules Your eyes familiar whirlpools The doors is right into you And I'll let you in No need to ask I wanna bask in your everything My chest exploding My mind eroding At the thought of you existing Carved from the same tree Made of the same stuff I couldn't even bluff No flirting no skirting on the edge You were one with me already All you had to do is see me Really see me Recognise the workings of my mind And then touch me Like something holy And then touch me Like something that is now but could never be And as you take a vow to never lie to me All of my senses are screaming at me My body one big lump of tingling Imagining you naked in front of me Nothing to hide just someone to hold And then we let go 'Cause we always let go All you had to do is see me Really see me Recognise the workings of my mind And then touch me Like something holy And then touch me Like something that is now but could never be Like something holy Touch me Like something that is now but could never be Wrapped up in the golden light of my bedroom You take one look at me and i swoon I'm here with you It hasn't been so easy being lonely Oh, I'm here with you It hasn't been so easy being lonely Oh, I'm here with you It hasn't been so easy being lonely Oh, I'm here with you It hasn't been so easy being lonely Thank you for showing me That I'm not alone Thank you for showing me That I'm not alone Thank you for showing me That I'm not alone Thank you for showing me That I'm never alone

Suspended in nostalgia I find your name hanging in my memories I fill myself up with your gaze Oh what a maze you've put me in I spy with my little eye Your wide eyes that take me time traveling It feels like, swimming, swimming with my eyes closed Nose to nose, you just, you just fucking know Oh, remind me of your name again As you take me on that train again Back to the pavements that we walked, and walked Oh, the drugs that made us talk and talk And I'll take you dancing, I'll take you round and round I'll lead you to the hilltops, and I'll take you on the ground I may be daydreaming, but I'll be wondering what its like To be under your skin 'Til I get in Until you let me out Until you see my insides Until you're inside out, I'll Lick my wounds, feels like I've had them since the womb Sing myself a tune, fall back and swoon And I'll take you dancing, I'll take you round and round I'll lead you to the hilltops, and I'll take you on the ground I may be daydreaming Oh what a feeling Daydreaming about you

You said that I don't care, but of course I do How come when I'm alone, I only think of you Only been in love, maybe once or twice But now that I've had just a taste you've got me so enticed Used to feel those words that you spoke over me, but now I don't I used to feel those powder blue eyes stare through mine, but now I guess I won't And now I don't know, if you want me so, I guess I'll go You floor me with that style, and if I had a choice I wouldn't slip up everytime that I hear your voice And though it doesn't work, I try desperately To become this great ugly root to a perfect tree I used to feel those words that you spoke over me, but now I don't I used to feel those powder blue eyes stare through mine, but now I guess I won't And now I don't know, if you want me so, I guess I'll go

The moon was full and it left me howling My head was spinning and my heart was growling I've received crimson stains on my sheets that morning The world felt big and the tides were moving And I stopped caring too much about my outside I stopped caring too much about my outside Didn't wanna be told what I'm supposed to look like Didn't wanna be told what makes a woman look right So I took off my clothes And I jumped right in The 3 am water It soaked my skin The full moon tide was up to my chin I looked at you and your mischief grin I looked at you and your mischief grin You better cut off your wings cause you're held up by strings now Cut off your wings 'cause you're held up by strings now And I stopped caring too much about my outside I stopped caring too much about my outside Didn't wanna be told what I'm supposed to look like Didn't wanna be told what makes a woman look right

You're making my skin wanna crawl into all of these cracks and these crevices Don't worry I know how to have a good time Just don't need to smile to be enjoying myself Don't put me on a shelf I'm not here for your enjoyment, your amusement I don't need to have a reason, no Don't need to have a reason at all Don't need to have a prince at my ball How about right now I'm my own prince Maybe I wouldn't cease to exist Without a man to do the hard things Maybe you picked the wrong girl But there's not one girl Who deserves your aggression I'll give you a confession I used to fall for this bullshit But let's stop regressing How about I take your patriarchy, your misogyny And I put it in the backyard And set fire to it I'm gonna put it in the backyard It's already lit I'm gonna put it in the backyard And set fire to it I'm gonna put it in the backyard It's already lit I'm gonna put it in the backyard And set fire to it I'm gonna put it in the backyard It's already lit Woo! It's already lit

I'm no white dove But I stand here with all my love Uncover the windows Let in the light Grab the hand that's reaching out Face out to an empty room where no one's there to hear their prayers But you and I You and I On the road through the fog Through the smoke with my heart in my throat On the road through the fog Through the smoke with my heart in my throat I'm lookin' in I'm thinkin' out loud Now that I've seen I used to hide from my own mind This battle's not mine, oh, no The building a motor on houses of paper This world can cater for us all The building a motor on houses of paper This world can cater for us all When the sun rises, it rises for us all When the sun rises, it rises for us all I'm lookin' in I'm thinkin' out loud Now that I've seen I used to hide from my own mind This battle's mine

Why did they lie? They said to survive I had to walk along the line But I don't feel alive, does that mean I've survived? Does that mean I've survived? Does that mean I've survived? What kind of living is this? I don't wanna simply exist I wanna punch with my fist I wanna roll with the misfits The ender in the mist Give in to the bliss Grab life by her wrist Lean in for a kiss and say, "I want this" "Oh, I need this" I wanna live like I mean it I'm gonna take it, not leave it I wanna live like I mean it I'm gonna take it, not leave it Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh I've never been one for leaving But I need something to believe in Something that shakes me Watch out I'm waking I'm yours for the taking I'm newborn, I'm shaking Never been one for leaving But now I'm leaving 'Cause my heart's still beating And there's nothing, it's fleeting As a life before expiry Tonight I'm feeling fiery I'll set fire to everything Everything that meant something 'Cause night has no meaning Night has no meaning I wanna live like I mean it I'm gonna take it, not leave it I wanna live like I mean it I'm gonna take it, not leave it I wanna live like I mean it I'm gonna take it, not leave it I wanna live like I mean it I'm gonna take it, not leave it

She, she She, she She cut a hole in the fence and she ran She left her troublesome prison behind She didn't wanna fuel the fire She didn't wanna lose her desire She, she She, she She looked out to the horizon She didn't have much left to see Greed had taken the trees away Greed had taken the bees away She, she She, she She don't know where she gonna go now She looked up to what should've been stars She said I wanna go to Mars And this, this planet, it ain't ours She said I, wanna go to Mars And this, this planet, it ain't ours She said I wanna go to Mars And this, this planet, it ain't ours Ours

My mind is filled with galaxies It's all I see It's all I see Way up in the highest trees I feel the breeze I feel the breeze Take me on your boat one day We'll fade away, we'll slip away We'll go away, we'll be away We'll stay away We'll go down the longest stream Reflected in a sunbeam Just a speck of dust in the milky way We'll fade away, we'll slip away We'll go away, we'll be away We'll stay away We'll go down the longest stream Reflected in a sunbeam I'm not going I'm not going I'm not going I'm not going I'm not going, going, gone Just a speck of dust in the milky way We'll fade away, we'll slip away We'll go away, we'll be away We'll stay away But we are alive today We'll be ok We'll be ok
