You made me do it
Yeah you made me do it
You made me do it
You looked right through it
But you made me do it
Louise
It wasn’t enough
To fall in love
To love me
You thought you had to kill your dreams
A martyr is tough
It’s never enough
To give your life to a man
Who doesn’t know its worth
The girl I knew
Who caught the moon
Had to give it back
Far too soon
You made me do it
Yeah you made me do it
You made me do it
You looked right through it
Yeah, you made me do it
Louise
One day I knew
Your dreams had to come true
Had to give you up
Far too soon
You made me do it
Yeah you made me do it
You made me do it
You looked right through it
Yeah you made me do it
You looked right through it
Yeah you made me do it
You looked right through it

Wound
05:46
|
|||
Can we go back
Back to the days
When we all knew
Our right from wrong
Our right from wrong
Held hostage by the fear
Held hostage by the hate
Held hostage by the times
Held hostage by our fate
The wound is open now
The wound is open now
The wound is open now
The wound is open now
Please someone
Turn this ship around
Please someone
Turn this ship around
I’m going down
I can see the ocean floor
I’m going down
I can see the ocean floor
The wound is open now
The wound is open now
The wound is open now
The wound is open now
It’s open now
It’s open now
Yeah
Now give me your hand
I think I can pull you out again
Give me your hand
I think I can pull you out again

In your gaze
I’m more myself than any other place
Light embrace
The night sky over your unburdened face
Modern daze/days
The world careening in and out of phase
Your love saves
And brings me back into my light and self
And I
In your gaze
I’m more at one than any other place
Light and grace
You lie above around
In every space
Field days
We’re one and we are in the Milky Way
Your love saves
Reminds me of my light
That I’m alive
And I
Room to move and room to grow
(And I am all
And I am all alone)
Room to move bloom and room to glow
(And I am all
And I am all alone)
Room to move and room to grow
(Stars die)
(And I am all
And I am all alone)
Room to bloom and room to glow
(Stars die)
(And I am all
And I am all alone)
Room to move and room to grow
(And I am all
And I am all alone)
Room to move bloom and room to glow
(And I am all
And I am all alone)
Room to move and room to grow
(Stars die)
(And I am all
And I am all alone)
Room to bloom and room to glow
(And I am all
And I am all alone)
Room to move and room to grow
(Stars die)
(And I am all
And I am all alone)
Room to bloom and room to glow
(And I am all
And I am all alone)

What Remains
05:31
|
|||
A cold wind
Surrounds the girl
The veil’s dropped
Around her world
The winds leave her empty and bare
What remains
What remains
When you’re born a girl
You’re told to always fake a smile
You’re told to just be quiet
Let the men talk
Let the men talk
The road is dark
For the little girls
Who have to grow up way before their time
Not a child not a woman
Not anything to cling to
What remains
What remains
The first time they grab you unaware
The first time they warn you not to tell
The first time they grab you unaware
Your scream becomes a lock in your throat
The veils drop on that little girl
The world hears this song
Over and over again
We have to have each other‘s backs
For what remains
For what remains
Oh, oh, oh oh
Oh, oh, oh oh
That’s what remains
That’s what remains
Oh, oh, oh oh
Oh, oh, oh oh
That’s what remains
That’s what remains
Oh, oh, oh oh
Oh, oh, oh oh
That’s what remains
That’s what remains
Oh, oh, oh oh
Oh, oh, oh oh
That’s what
That’s what
That’s what remains
Oh, oh, oh oh
Oh, oh, oh oh
That’s what
That’s what
That’s what remains

Leave Me Alone
04:38
|

If you don’t want my love
Then
Leave me alone
If you don’t want my love then
Leave me alone
Don’t make me doubt myself with your doubt
Leave me alone
Don’t make me doubt myself with your doubt
Leave me alone
‘Cause I got no time for
Little boys
I got no time for
Little boys
If you don’t know what you want then
Leave me alone
If you don’t know what you want then
Leave me alone
Don’t make me swallow up my pride
Leave me alone
Don’t make me swallow up my pride
Leave me alone
‘Cause I got no time for
Little boys
I got no time for
Little boys
If you don’t want happiness then
Leave me alone
If you don’t want happiness then
Leave me alone
Don’t make me wrestle
With your demons
Leave me alone
Don’t make me wrestle
With your demons
Leave me alone
‘Cause I got no time for
Little boys
I got no time for
Little boys
I’m sorry baby
I don’t have the time
To fix your life
I’m sorry sugar
I don’t have the time
To fix your mind
I’m sorry baby
I don’t have the time
To fix your heart
I’m sorry baby
I don’t have the time
To fix your soul
To fix your soul
Do do do do do do do do

He’s a fault line
He only wants to shake you up
He’s a fault line
You never know where it’s safe to walk
Hold steady
He’ll make the ground beneath you shake
Be ready
To hold on tight
And don’t you break
Hold on
Hold on
Hold on
Hold on
He’s a fault line
It isn’t safe to be too near
He’s a fault line
You know there’s something to fear
So hold your breath
Hold your breath
Hold your breath
Hold your breath
And let him pass by
Let him pass by
Let him pass by
Let him pass by
Let him pass
Let him pass by
Let him pass by
Let him pass by
Let him pass by
Let him pass by
Let him pass by
He’s a fault line
(Let him pass by)
He’s a fault line
(Let him pass by)
He’ll swallow you up if he gets the chance

You don’t really love me anymore
No you don’t really love me anymore
‘Cause my sunshine is such a bore
That you don’t really love me anymore
You hoped I was needing to be saved
Yeah you hoped I was needing to be saved
Found out I’d carved out my own road
Now you don’t really want me anymore
I don’t mind the rain
‘Cause it brings me
Back home again
No I don’t mind the rain
‘Cause it brings me
Back home again
I don’t mind the rain
‘Cause it brings me
Back home again
No I don’t mind the rain
‘Cause it brings me
Back home again
My love is pure
My love is pure
My heart is open
And my heart is open
Like rain in the dawn
Like rain in the dawn
I’ll follow the lone wind
I’ll follow the lone wind
My light must grow
My light must grow
And I won’t be holding
And I won’t be holding
Your rope anymore
Your rope anymore
Your road will be cold and
Your road will be cold and
Your road will be dark
Your road will be dark
Your road will be broken
Your road will be long
And then you’ll be home

Foolish Things
04:04
|
|||
He came to me
Beaten and bruised and lonely but I couldn’t see
I couldn’t see
He came to me
A wolf in wolf’s clothing
But I couldn’t see
I was naive
And love makes you do
Foolish things
And love makes you do
Foolish things
I tended his wounds
And hoped he’d feel
He opened me up
Like he had a key
He opened me up
Like he had the key
And love makes you do
Foolish things
And love makes you do
Foolish things
And then one day he was healed
And I was the wounded one
I was the wounded one
And love makes you do
Foolish things
Yes love makes you do
Foolish things
And love makes you do
Foolish things
And love

Surrender
04:29
|

See the unseen
Feel the unfelt
Drink from the silence
Feel the freedom
Birth what hasn’t been born
Surrender to your love
Surrender to your love
Surrender to the grace
Of what lies ahead
Take what’s only meant for you
Feel the ground beneath
Dance your eternal dance
Surrender to your love
Surrender to your soul
Surrender to the grace
Of what lies ahead
