Tempest

Verse One 

Steel skin 

The great divide 

As I displace 

Body mind 

Copper veins 

Silver tongue 

Precious metals 

Mould to one 

Pre-Chorus
So don't go pointing at picture frames 

When you look just the, same 

Chorus 

And I electrified you 

With some wild design 

You stood in my storm with an iron heart 

Expected to survive 

And I terrified you 

With my golden lies 

You stood in my storm with an iron heart

Expected to survive 

Verse Two 

Flawless face 

Tumultuous mind 

What did you 

Expect to find 

Metal frames 

Blurring lines 

That hold me, keep me 

Trapped inside 

Pre-Chorus 

And don't go pointing round in the dark 

When you played your part 

Chorus 

Bridge 

Promise me a storm 

Promise me a howl 

Winds that will tear my skin 

A tempest to take me down 

Promise me a monsoon 

A little heat little sweet little menace 

Promise me a six knot storm 

Promise me a tempest 

Chorus 

Better than this 

Verse One 

So I’ll watch you in slow motion, feel that tension rise 

Oh see you me see you see us put on a show 

And there are magnets in my bones 

Did you know this? Can you see them? Do they show?

Pre-Chorus 

Cause you’re drawing me cross the room 

And I’m fracturing inside 

And I don’t care quite care where I am 

As long as its in your eye line 

Chorus 

So keep me at an arms length

I swear you’ll love me better 

With no past tense 

For us to hold together 

I know I know

So keep me at an arms length

I swear you’ll love me better

With no past tense 

For us to hold together

I know 

I know 

You’ll never love me better than this 

Verse Two 

And I’ll throw on my second skin 

The one that won’t quite fit 

Take a look at me now 

And let me dazzle you 

The way I want to 

The way I know how

Pre-Chorus 

And I’m falling just right into you 

The sweet way you believe 

I wanna walk right out this crowd with you 

Take you far away with me 

Chorus 

Bridge 

Better, better, better (x4)

And you could love me better than this 

You could love me better than this 

Chorus/Outro 

So keep me at an arms length 

I swear you’ll love me better 

With no past tense 

For us to hold together 

I know I know 

And hold me like your last breath 

Like we could stay forever 

There’s no future plan 

For us to be together 

I know I know 

And I’ll never love you better than this 

If We Loved

Verse One 

Two hands that can't cup the smoke of emotion 

Strong fingers that can't feel the flame 

One mind that's wild and dark as the sky 

Which you light up with wash-away rage 

Chorus 

If we loved 

It could be the best thing worst thing 

The blaze and burning-

If we, loved

It could be good, be something

Our sweet suff’ring 

If we 

If we

If we 

Were to love 

Verse Two 

And my two arms can't seem to fit around you 

My lungs can't resuscitate 

My skin carries no heat, that will keep you with me

My mind can't invent enough ways 

Chorus 

Bridge 

And I know you forgot to love her today

While you were waiting round wanting 

I know that the moment I choose to go 

We will burn out like a soft heat 

Burn out like a soft heat - soft heat - soft heat - soft heat 

Final Chorus (Double) 

Hunger 

Verse One 

It’s a simple recipe – babe 

A little you and me 

And I’ll turn the lights down (down, down, down) 

And it’s a simple melody 

One I’ll sing so sweetly 

Stop you mid step, turn around (round, round, round, round) 

Chorus 

Cause I’ve been searching for hunger 

On the lips of my lovers 

Oh I taste it on the tips of their tongues 

And it’s my addiction

Oh I, can never get enough 

My hunger, my hunger, my hunger, I 

Verse Two 

It’s clear to see — hey 

You’re missing peace 

Find your lost parts in me (in me, in me) 

And it’s easy 

Take it back like you took me 

Spin those words and say you always leave (leave, leave, leave) 

Chorus 

Bridge 

And I try to build my own 

Sense of peace 

And I point to the ruins 

Point to me 

And I let my hair down

Like I’m free 

But everyone else 

Oh they can see 

Chorus 

My Lover

My lover’s made of all four breezes

His eyes are melodies

His hands are heather his arms are down 

His lips taste like soft sleep 

My lover’s made of twilight 

Of the sinking sound of sun 

The words he sighs are lullabies 

His laugh is like a song 

My lover’s made of each Great Lake 

My lover’s the molten core 

His lashes are the foam that crashes 

Pulls pearls upon to the shore 

My lover’s made of broken glass 

His lips are hornet stings 

My lover’s trustless lustfull rusted 

My lover is a king 

Lost Me

Verse One 

Its been too many months of this 

Me falling to your feet and feeling you kick 

It’s been too many tainted days 

Where I’ve let you sink into my landscape 

Pre-Chorus 

It’s been too many nights of me, falling asleep 

Feeling like I’m not worth your keep

And who would’ve thought you’d be

Who would’ve thought 

Chorus 

Oh the dirt on my skin 

The brand on my limbs 

How I could have let you in is beyond me. 

I found you and I 

Lost Me. 

The dirt on my skin 

The brand on my limbs 

How I could have let you in is beyond me. 

I found you and I 

Lost Me. 

Verse Two 

It’s been too many scalding hot showers 

Tryna’ burn you away, regain those lost hours 

Oh I give, oh you get 

Darkened doorways — your silhouette 

Pre-Chorus/Chorus 

Bridge 

The grit in my teeth 

The stain on my sleeve 

Where my heart used to be 

Ten strikes down 

You claw back around 

Tryna’ make me give out 

And who would’ve tasted your sweet words — and heard 

The torment they served 

Oh you escape me

Do you do these things to break me 

Chorus 

Hot Gold 

Verse One
He told me I was precious 

He told me I was rare 

He told me I was different 

And he lit me like a flare 

He held me like a child 

Like I was really there 

I held him like an anchor 

Till he dissolved to air 

Pre-Chorus 

He called me too little, too much 

Too hot to the touch 

With fire and lust 

I saw the end of us 

Chorus 

I’ve swallowed copper and iron 

Ashes and coals

I’ve boiled in embers

I’ve shivered and smoked 

But what kind of alchemy 

Must I under go

To turn this cold heart 

Into shining hot gold 

Shining hot gold (x4) 

Verse Two 

I told him I was precious 

I told him I was rare 

I told him I was different 

And I lit him like a flare 

I held him like mercury 

Like the poison that he shared 

He held me like fiction 

Knotted poetry in my hair 

Pre-Chorus/Chorus 

Bridge 

Baby this body’s a vessel

For more than just my bones 

My shoulder blades are wings 

And my ribcage is a home 

Oh if you can't see me 

While I'm draped in only smoke 

If you can't taste my art 

Then you can watch me go

Chorus 

I Am

Verse One 

I am the softness in your eyes when you look at me 

I am the heat behind your finger tips

I am those rare smiles that lead to blue skies

I am two AM promises 

Chorus 

I am two words and you are them all 

You are landslides where I am a stone 

Oh I am whisper

I am yell 

I am roar 

I am this

I am me 

I am yours 

Verse Two 

I am the sharpness of your breath when you get nervous 

Oh I am the sighs when you lay down

I am the colour in your cheeks as you read me so clear

I am wait I am pause I am doubt 

Chorus 

Bridge 

I am yours

I am I am I am — I am yours yours

 I am I am I am — I am yours yours 

I am I am I am — I am yours yours 

I am I am I am — I am yours yours 

Chorus
