Clean Eyes
L
Picture yourself in a room full of broken glass
Blood on the pieces, the pieces you can't put back
A little white light in a sea gone black
My head is a room and the room's full of broken glass
You can't change me, can you save me?
Oh, clean eyes
Breaking my heart in all the right ways
And no, I don't mind, clean eyes
Oh, clean eyes
Breaking my heart and breaking my chains
And I don't know why, clean eyes
(Clean eyes)
I'm a cynic, I told you, I fear what I don't believe
I don't know what this is, but this is a different beast
I check the lock on the door three times
Can't put my faith in what I can't describe
I'm a cynic, I told you, I don't believe
Oh, clean eyes
Breaking my heart in all the right ways
And no, I don't mind, clean eyes
Oh, clean eyes
Breaking my heart and breaking my chains
And I don't know why, clean eyes
(Clean eyes)
Oh, clean eyes
Breaking my heart in all the right ways
And no, I don't mind, clean eyes
Oh, clean eyes
Breaking my heart and breaking my chains
And I don't know why, clean eyes
(Clean eyes)
Wildfire
L
Darling, please take my hand
Please get up, rise to stand
I can't be the one to sing your song (song, song)
'Cause I believe it's not your fault
Don't be scared, you are my rock
Nothing's gonna hold you down for long (long, long)
Sometimes we break so beautiful
And you know you're not the only one
I breathe you in, so sweet and powerful
Like a wildfire burning up inside my lungs
I'm burning up, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
I'm burning up, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
I'm burning up
In good time, you'll come to know
When you release, when you let go
You can find yourself where you belong (belong, belong)
You're not a curse, you're not too much
You are needed here, you are enough
And nothing's gonna hold you down for long (for long, for long)
Sometimes we break so beautiful
And you know you're not the only one
I breathe you in so sweet and powerful
Like a wildfire burning up inside my lungs
I'm burning up, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
I'm burning up, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
I'm burning up
Darling please don't give up
Drop your hate and sing for love
Let me be the one who sings along
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Sometimes we break so beautiful
And you know you're not the only one
I breathe you in so sweet and powerful
Like a wildfire burning up inside my lungs
I'm burning up, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
I'm burning up, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
I'm burning up
Bed
L
In the still of the night
At the foot of your bed
Guess I was lost
Guess I got in over my head
Finger to lips
In the blink of an eye
I fell to my knees
I will pray to you tonight
We could fly
But you didn't wanna fall, you didn't wanna fall
We could die
But you're what I live for, you're what I live for
My skin hurts without your touch
I didn't wanna think or ask too much but I
I didn't know better
Kids in the dark
In the still of the night
Nobody around
High above the city lights
We could fly
But you didn't wanna fall, you didn't wanna fall
We could die
But you're what I live for, you're what I live for
In the still of the night
You need to believe
I will be here
Yes, I will be waiting to receive
We could fly
I will never let you fall, I'll never let you fall
We can fly
I will never let you fall, I'll never let you fall
In the still of the night
We can fly
We can fly
Guess I got in over my head
In the still of the night
We can fly
Where's My Love
L
Cold bones, yeah that's my love
She hides away like a ghost
Does she know that we bleed the same?
Don't wanna cry but I break that way
Cold sheets, oh where's my love?
I am searching high, I'm searching low in the night
Does she know that we bleed the same?
Don't wanna cry but I break that way
Did she run away, did she run away, I don't know
If she ran away, if she ran away, come back home
Just come home
I got a fear, oh in my blood
She was carried up into the clouds, high above
If you bled I'll bleed the same
If you're scared I'm on my way
Did you run away, did you run away, I don't need to know
If you ran away, if you ran away, come back home
Just come home
Break Free
L
Body perfection like a punch in the face
Why don’t you sit down closer to me
I’m talking sex, religion, politics and stereotypes
You know I could make you weak in the knees
But when I come home late at night and I’m all alone I can’t sleep
I can’t break free
I can’t break free
I can’t break
even if it’s killing me
I can’t break free
I can’t break free
Keep it simple honey, don’t think too much
You know we don’t care what you believe
I’m just a closeted misogynist in love with myself
Don’t be mad, it’s everything you could dream (exactly what you think)
I can hardly hold my shit together I need relief
I can’t break free
I can’t break free
I can’t break
even if it’s killing me
I can’t break free
I can’t break even if I want to be free
I can’t break free
I can’t break
even if it’s killing me
I can’t break free
I can’t break
Oh child tell me can you hear me crying in the night?
Oh child heaven’s got me down here fighting for my life
I don't wanna hold this any longer
I'm coming clean
I can’t break free
I can’t break free
I can’t break
even if it’s killing me
I can’t break free
I can’t break even if I want to be free
I can’t break free
I can’t break
even if it’s killing me
I can’t break free
I can’t break free
Animal

Be
Let it go tonight
Keep it moving, keep it tight
Don’t crystalize
Change
Are we different now?
Am I everything you didn’t want to figure out?
If you won’t be mine, I’m through baby
Wake
Are you half asleep?
Don’t forget me while you dream
My little beast
Say
Breathe my name to life
I am waiting for the sound
When we collide
If you won’t be mine, I’m through baby
(In french)
We forget what it was to be 8 years old in the summertime
Looking up at the few clouds that dotted the sky
We forget what it felt like to touch water that was the same temperature as the air
We forget what it was to be 8 years old
We get caught between the innocent happiness of a child and the reality of the adult
experience
What we need is a beautiful collision of dark and light, pain and comfort, and fear of
Missing out and being content
The Bird
L
Covered in dust
The wings of my porcelain dove
They don’t trouble the waters my love
Frozen in time
Fragile to touch
She melts like the words on my tongue
The goddess of heavenly love
Fades outta sight
All your stars are in view
I get lost loving you
Dark was the night
Her shape burned a void in my eyes
It was black but so violently bright
Like the birth of a sun
So I cried out
But my voice could not be heard aloud
For held here safe in my mouth
The bird was done
All your stars are in view
I get lost loving you
Girl
L
Girl, perfectly her, broken and hurt
Soft and asleep in the morning gray
Shake off the night and don’t hide your face
The sun lights the world with a single flame
I want you to see this
Today and all of your days, I’ll wear your pain
Heal what I can in your troubled mind
Sometimes our bodies will hurt for some time
And the beauty in that can be hard to find
I want you to find it
I want you to see this
So run, wake up and run my little one
I wanna tear down these walls that can’t hold you inside
And rip out the cords and uncover your eyes
We’ll make our escape in the dark of night
I need you to see this
Girl
You’ll see the world and you’ll come to learn
That falling in love is a strange work of art
All of your battles will shape who you are
And know that your scars are my favorite part
I want you to know this

She broke today
A perfect little heart in my hand, she came undone
I hesitate
I’m waiting on my father to say, I love you son
It’s coming in phases
And I’m ready for none
I knew it would change me
But i’m overcome
My father’s son
Me and my heavy mind
I’ve been given far too much time, and it weighs a ton
my cover fire
Come lay down right here on my chest, my little one
Before I’m done
It’s coming in phases
And I’m ready for none
I knew it would change me
the man I become
So I try to relate it
To where I came from
but it’s coming in phases
And I’m overcome
My father’s son
My empty page
I will give you more than my name
I love you, son
It’s coming in phases
And I’m ready for none
I knew it would change me
The man I become
So I try to contain it
I’m fighting a flood
But it’s coming in phases
And I’m overcome
My father’s son

Where did we go? I love you
I’ve made a grave mistake
True love miscalculated
My nightmare turns to day.
I can still feel you in my space.
Why did you
How could you
I want to
Where did we go
Keep it all locked tight
In the middle of the night
Think I’m doing this right
It wasn’t my fault
I called out...
This is too much
I’ve had enough
I get so sick of you calling my bluff
Know that you won’t
What if you don’t
How bout you sit back, let it play out
Everything All At Once
L
This is my hello
This is my clumsy goodbye
I’m putting my glass down
I wanna remember tonight
The silence felt justified
Learning your colors
The different shades of your eye
Give me your worst thought
You turn away with a sigh
You said you felt patronized
In one unending moment
You fall within my reach
I’m close enough to whisper
Hold on to me hold on to me
These are my burdens
This is that dark I embrace
Tell me I’m heavy
As you trace the lines on my face
They came with my fall from grace
Look at my two hands
Look at theses cracks and the holes
I am my savior
I found my truth letting go
and I’ve never felt so alone
In one unending moment
I fall within your reach
My song a sweet surrender
Hold on to me hold on to me
In one unending moment
We fall into the sea
Recall the words I gave to you
Hold on to me hold on to me hold on
I found my truth letting go
Recall the words I gave to you
Hold on to me, hold on to me
Before You Knew It Was Me
