How you twist it The truth and the knife in my back How you Turn, How quick you attack This time I'm not coming back I believed you And all of the lies that you told What kind of man is so cold? I don't know you at all I needed you But you fed me to the wolves I curse myself for how little I sold my soul Grateful for the crumbs you threw As I treaded on thin ice What a fool I've been Cowering in the corner As you bear your teeth As you bear your teeth I needed you But you fed me to the wolves Protect me, love me, those were my pleas Why'd they cause you such unease? You blame me as you lash out You blame me as you lash out But I listened when you called, I listened when you called I listened when you called coz I wanted to believe How you twist it The truth and the knife in my back How you turn, how quick you attack

Dirt 02:49
Asked you a question And it made me think in spirals While you did not respond Suddenly so clear There was only one answer I was ready to receive Dirt Wasn't what I was looking for Or... was that why I came to you? Where's my medication? Coz I'm finding this confusing Feeling weak in the knees But I'm asking another... This is self abuse, it's torture Oh why do I ask? Dirt Wasn't what I was looking for Or... was that why I came to you? Dirt Wasn't what I was looking for Or... was that why I came to you? I've been planting seeds of doubt To disprove the seeds of hope Curiosity is killing me, oh why do I ask? Dirt Wasn't what I was looking for Or... was that why I came to you? Dirt Wasn't what I was looking for Or... was that why I came to you? Dirt Wasn't what I was looking for Or... was that why I came to you? Dirt Wasn't what I was looking for Or... was that why I came to you?

Dust 03:56
Lying in these depths we barely breathe Waiting for the earth to fall We feel our heart stop Lying in this hole we barely blink Waiting for the funeral We feel our heart stop Lying in a grave we grieve ourselves Waiting for the headstone We feel empty Ashes to ashes, dust to dust We feel our heart stop Ashes to ashes, dust to dust We feel our heart stop
5.
Smile 03:19
Cut a smile into my face This is my mask, my blood I don't smile today Look what you have done And everybody laughs, everybody laughs Rip a smile from ear to ear This distraction, my scar I don't smile today Look what you have done

Chrysalis 03:38
Stop the clock, stop my pendulum heart Glow bright at the trigger Turn white, grow bigger I am building an incubator Chrysalis Buried in the dirt and darkness Turning the attention to the light Chrysalis Stop the clock, stop the clock I am building an incubator Wind forward, wind my fortified heart Glow bright at the trigger Cut back, grew bigger I am leaving my incubator Chrysalis

Butterflies 03:24
When I kiss him I can feel him melting When I kiss him I can feel myself dissolve When the moon shines he is buzzing softly At the flickering fire, he is burning with me I love love, oh I do love love I love love oh I do love love When I touch him I can feel the earth breathe When I touch him I can feel him falling in When the butterflies are flying inside At the treehouse he is building with me I love love, but it's in my head I love love, but it's in my head When he hurts me a piece of me dies When he hurts me, he won't kiss it better When the butterflies are dying inside and I'm asking "What did I do"? I love love, but I don't like this I love love but I don't like this I love love but I don't like this (flying away, floating away, flying away, floating away)

Quietly 02:44
Poured myself into your darkened room I came with bruises, scratches and burns And I gazed upon your shoulders I gazed upon your shoulders Skin on skin Quietly you took me in Poured my soul into your darkened gaze In your arms I felt it start And falling softly, you stopped my heart Skin on skin, Quietly you took me in Dreamed a thousand dreams of you In the morning I was calm As if you weeded out the rest As we slept Skin on skin, Quietly you took me in
9.
Secret Roots 03:50
You find your secret routes into what's mine Creep, creep, creeping like a vine Between my chest and his you seek to grow But we're intwined by secret roots below You underestimated Our infinite heights You traitor You underestimated Invinsible light You traitor Within the ink our shoots began to show Telling a story that you'll never know Open my chest and wait for his kiss Fall on my heart and answer my wish You underestimated Our infinite heights You traitor You underestimated Invinsible light You traitor Slice up the fruit Remove the leaves Cut out the heart Destroy the seed So I remove the path you are on You underestimated Our infinite heights You traitor You underestimated Invinsible light You traitor

The Climber 03:40
Sick to my stomach I fell through Crippled by fear that it wouldn't come true It chills me, distills me, my hope is frought Triggered by a time I had forgot Lost in a dream I climbed up so high I climbed so high that I forgot why To show you, to prove to you that I can climb To show you that I am fine I feel my heart inside my mouth I taste its hunger, hear it beat so loud It thrills me, it kills me, but I must chew Until these feelings are through It's ok It's ok I see my prize up ahead I hold out my hand, but it's not time yet It turns me, it burns me, keeps me alive This is my reason to strive It's ok It's ok

Myriad 04:34
You dropped doubt into the hole Where you buried me Still I tasted touches of warmth I grew into a crystal with a myriad of leaves Intricate like wild green ferns Formed by ice, by your cold breath Falling on the warmth of the world Delicate, clean bright prisms of light Tempted me to fully uncurl Now I grow my own Everything I need Now I grow my own Everything I need I became in the cold I became in the cold I am all of the wonder you will never seek Now I grow my own Everything I need Now I grow my own Everything I need I became in the cold I became in the cold Now I grow my own Everything I need Now I grow my own Everything I need

I grow in my mind a meadow of weeds I grow in my mind a meadow of weeds I blow wishes (from dandelion seeds) - lyric cut Converting all the dirt, all the water, all the hurt Into oxygen, oxygen I blow wishes
