It Stole Myself From Me Lyrics

Picture

Hungry For A Vice

Picture
I've been hungry for a vice
Smoke away my life, stop playing nice
I've been hungry for a vice
Since I let you leave my life

Been staying out til 3 AM
All by myself, I don't fuck with friends
Don't need you back to do me wrong
I'm well versed in the art of self sabotage

I've been hungry for a vice
Drowned in coffee that I spike
Living fast it's do or die
You left me wanting for a vice

Been staying out til 3 AM
All by myself, I don't fuck with friends
Don't need you back to do me wrong
I'm well versed in the art of self sabotage

I don't want you back
I don't want you back

​Been staying out til 3 AM
All by myself, I don't fuck with friends
Don't need you back to do me wrong
I'm well versed in the art of self sabotage

No One Underneath

My heart is naked like a robin in the winter
I lost my hands last year
Can't wash away the layers of faces I wore for you
Got no self left to be

Mother remind me how do I say my name
I coiled myself round someone else to hide me somewhere safe
And when they leave they get to keep the echoes that are left of me
So I've got nothing to hide
'Cause there's no one underneath

So I've been fleeing like a whitetail from the hunter
They'll skin me down to my last bone
They'll shake me hard and rattle my heart
Say "Who was with me in the dark"
But I got no self left to be

Mother remind me how do I say my name
I coiled myself round someone else to hide me somewhere safe
And when they leave they get to keep the echoes that are left of me
So I've got nothing to hide
'Cause there's no one underneath

​There is no one underneath
But I think there used to be
There is no one underneath
But I hope there used to be
​
There is no one underneath
But I think there used to be
There is no one underneath
But I think there used to be

It Stole Myself From Me

It stole myself from me
I gotta get myself free
There are things I'll never tell
Take my word and save yourself

Daydreams

There's someone else inside my head
My worst and closest friend
The city goes to sleep
There's someone lying next to me
Her voice is with my in my mind
Distorting what's real what's a lie
Makes her home inside and changes the meaning of "I"

We're together in feverish daydreams I can't shake
Pull me under
Hold my breath and get your way

She locked me out again last night
To prowl the city by lamplight
We'll do you wrong but so naive you come along
Stay out til light tonight with me
Then lay in bed for a week
Legs lined with lead I'll lie the rest of my life instead

We're together in feverish daydreams I can't shake
Pull me under
Hold my breath and get your way

Somewhere inside my soul is pure
But that section's been obscured
Life wears away at me like sea glass wrestling with the sea
A crashing wave cannot be still
Gentle with the weight to kill
Brings cities to the ground
The only footprints found are mine

We're together
But her shadow outlines mine
I do things
I don't know why

There's someone else inside my head
There's someone else inside my head

There's someone else
There's someone else

Past Life

Picture
Sending my condolence cause I’m a sorry soul
I’ve done some things I’d rather you not know
Sleep deep into the morning
And then I will be gone
Going is the only thing I’ve got to give
It gives on and on and on

I’ve done some things in a past life
So let’s not talk too much
And you should know you can’t know me and love me
So tonight just love my touch
So tonight just love me

I’ve been wearing faces to hide my sorry soul
And I’ve been running so long, I don’t know
If not for the half light, I’d be three towns away
I’d go back and give it all up
I’d do anything to make it right to stay

I’ve done some things in a past life
So let’s not talk too much
And you should know you can’t know me and love me
So tonight just love my touch
So tonight just love me

You were so good
I could hold you
I could know you
And love you still
But honesty doesn’t look good on me
Let me live and die in your memory

Sending my condolence you met this sorry soul
But I’ll never apologize I got out before I took you whole

I’ve done some things in a past life
So let’s not talk too much
And you should know you can’t know me and love me
So tonight just love my touch
So tonight just love me
But don’t make that fatal mistake
Don’t love me too much

Red Cigar

I think you’ll be in the city soon
Not right for most, but it’s right for you
Don’t expect to understand
Red cigar in your hand

Who’s gonna mind if it’s right
Who’s gonna mind it’s not right

You’ll get your eyes on those delights
You’ll only see what neon keeps bright
Fresh off the tongue, rolling, “No”
Red cigar of you own

Who’s gonna mind if it’s right
Who’s gonna mind it’s not right

They like to say it’s inside your head
They’ll say it still until the day that you are dead
They’re sorry just to dig another grave
They’re sorry you’re just another special case

Who’s gonna mind if it’s right
Who’s gonna mind it’s not right

I think you’ll be in the city soon
You can take yourself before God takes you
Some are just born the wrong kind
So we all thank god that we’re so colorblind

Who’s gonna mind if it’s right
Who’s gonna mind it’s not right

China We Don't Use

I can't love you right now
But I want to learn how
I've got a lot to learn and unlearn
A lot of bad feelings to turn around
I've been hiding out from myself
From everybody else

I've got love in my life
But we hide it behind glass
Like the china we don't use
Grasping to be a sister and a daughter
Don't think I could be a lover too
Even for you

Can't be me right now
Don't remember how
Faded photos, eggshell walls
Are the only proof of all I used to be
Sweet voices comfort me
But they're so hard to reach
Will I ever get my peace
Will I get my peace
I need some peace

I've got love in my life
But we hide it behind glass
Like the china we don't use
Grasping to be a sister and a daughter
Don't think I could be a lover too
Even for you

Even for you
Even for you
I never loved just right
Done it wrong my whole life
Even with you
Even with you
I'm hardly home in this body
It is not a safe place to be
Even for me
Even for me

I've got love in my life
But we hide it behind glass
Like the china we don't use
Grasping to be a sister and a daughter
Don't think I could be a lover too
Even for you

Even for you
Even for you
Even for you

Yellowstone

Picture
Lets go out to Yellowstone
Drop it all and drive tonight and on through the morning
Lets go out to Yellowstone
Drop it all and drive tonight and on through the morning

If we leave right now by what hour
Will they notice we went
That I didn't pay my rent
I've got these city blues
Got myself to lose
And I'll get lost soon
If I stay

I'd begun to love my chains
Stay alone and decompose on my phone each day
I'd begun to love my chains
Stay alone and decompose on my phone each day

I won't need it in the park
The stars will light up the dark
I won't need it in the day
I'll see what people have to say
Where the earth heaves steamy sighs
And wolf calls echo in the night
I won't let my chains be my life

And I don't think that I beleive
Instructions in my screen machine
That tell me all the ways to be
And tell me that my country is free

If we leave right now stop in some dusty town
And you lose yourself it will be just as well
To see Montana skies away from city lights
Lets go to Yellowstone and lets go tonight

Lets go out to Yellowstone
Drop it all and drive tonight and on through the morning
Lets go out to Yellowstone
Drop it all and drive tonight and on through the morning

If we leave right now by what hour
Will they notice we went
That I didn't pay my rent
I've got these city blues
Got myself to lose
And I'll get lost soon
If I stay
