Premonition

Was I untrue?
Twist in my stomach
As I search the truth
In this dark room
Even though I'm dreaming
I still chose to be touched by you

Dreaming

|
Holding my breath please don’t make me ashamed again
It’s so predictable, you speak, I blush in front of my friends
I know the sick is in me, you’re so lovely, virtuous
You shouldn’t have to suffer from my high school side effects
Mumma reminds me how darling you are
I made it difficult for more than one heart
I should be dreaming about, my man, my man
Thankful, devoted and proud of my man, my man
I should be dreaming about, my man, my man
Thankful, devoted and proud of my man, my man
I want to, wash myself, with fresh love, it’s time
I forge my prayers and let the darkness take over my mind
When sleep is holding me captive deep in a dream,
I have no power over who decides to visit me
I liked the way you move when we were alone
I made it difficult to call you my own
I should be dreaming about, my man, my man
Thankful, devoted and proud of my man, my man
I should be dreaming about, my man, my man
Thankful, devoted and proud of my man, my man
Did you like getting my letters?
My perfume soaked into the cartridge, I,
Liked sending you letters
I tried to keep our love alive
I should be dreaming about my man, my man (ahhh)
I should be dreaming about my man, my man
It’s the floor that moves beneath my feet when he looks to me (ahhh)
It’s the colour rising in my cheeks when he looks to me

Undoing

What is this I’m feeling? (don’t you dare girl)
I walk the hallway dreaming (wouldn’t be fair no)
God, I’ve actually given in (didn’t take long oh)
What is this I’m feeling?
Cause I
Can’t help myself
I drink in the things you do
I’m far too drunk on you
And I
Can’t help myself
Yeah I drink in the things you do
I’m too far gone on you
Consider my undoing (don’t you dare girl)
Quit at what you’re doing (wouldn’t be fair no)
Cause I feel her presence in (presence in, you and your show)
Consider my undoing
Your window scares me
Don’t be reckless
When you’re there with me
I care who sees
Mmm, nearly kissed you on the street
Don’t be reckless
When you’re there with me
I care who sees
Cause I
Can’t help myself
Yeah I drink in the things you do
I’m far too drunk on you
And I
Can’t help myself
Yeah I drink in the things you do
I’m too far gone on you
I try to, avoid you
but I (We both know it’s not that simple,
I can’t help myself I need you)
I’d like to, adore you
Can’t help myself
Yeah I drink in the things you do
I’m far too drunk on you
And I
Can’t help myself
Yeah I drink in the things you do
I’m too far gone on you
(can’t help myself, with you)

Fallout

This woman she coats my skin
Vacuum sealed in her presence
I can’t breathe when she’s around
And she’s not even around
This woman she coats my skin
Vacuum sealed in her presence
I can’t breathe when she’s around
And she’s not even around
You cut me out like your melanoma
No more drama if I’m a goner
No witch trial got no fucking honour
Left to fend for
Every word I have offer
You spin into another
There’s no point with you it’s all a game
You’ll only tell the half to prove I’ve failed
This woman she coats my skin
Vacuum sealed in her presence
I can’t breathe when she’s around
And she’s not even around
I did 25 years
People pleasing cause I feared
You got me locked in my head
All my guilt has been bled, yeah, yeah
When our own truths face each other
They sound like they’re lying
To one another
We’re never gonna buy it
You might not like to see it
But I found where I need to be, yeah
As I ran away from your royalty, mm (praise the Queen)
I became the villain to your story, yeah
This woman she coats my skin
Vacuum sealed in her presence
I can’t breathe when she’s around
And she’s not even around
I wasn’t yours ’til I ran
I did 25 years (until you)
People pleasing cause I feared (cause I feared)
You got me locked in my head (got me locked in my head)
All my guilt has been bled
Oooh
You got me locked in my head
Oooh
All my guilt, yeah

Clarity
04:25
|

|
I am elevating
Cause I spent the day
Where you didn’t phase me
I forgot your face
I’d walk with you and talk with you
but there’s no room for growth with you
With Lazer eyes and childish cries
You branded me your enemy
So lonely I must heal
From the card that I knew you would deal
I’ve been killing time on you,
Dead time on you, I got things to do
I’ve been killing time on you,
Dead time on you, I got things to do
I forgot to love me
I was so busy
Holding you above me
Weeping in my dreams
It took some time, for me to find
Self forgiveness and remember I was
Made with love, morality and
Compassion flowing naturally
So I left you far behind
The clarity is mine
I left you far behind
The clarity is mine
I’ve been killing time on you,
Dead time on you, I got things to do
I’ve been killing time on you,
Dead time on you, I got things to do, do, do, do, do
I’ve been killing time on you,
Dead time on you, I got things to do
I’ve been killing time on you,
Dead time on you, I got things to do
Toxicity abandon me
I lost your love but now I see
Life sweeter with new family
A new world of femme energy
Toxicity abandon me
I lost your love but now I see
Life sweeter with new family
A new world of femme energy

Sweetly
01:15
|

|
Walking home on a market morning
Coulda called in at yours
Talking in my head you said our line:
"What’s mine is also mine"
You caught me off guard,
You had me laughing
To nothing with no one in sight
Will you choose to think of me sweetly,
Now and then?
Stepping out that space of hate, could you rest,
In the warmth of a memory?
