Narcissus

Why don’t you love me the way that you used to?
Can’t you feel me the way I can feel you?
In the moment when my body trembles
I still call your name
This bed we built it for the both of us
Peculiar spaces that you used to fill up,
Yeah I don’t quite know
How something so special I can replace
In the middle of the night when I’m searching out for a witness,
In the mirror is the shape of a man I call Narcissus
Why can’t you see me? I’m right in front of you
I try to make it easy for you, but you still see right through me
Tell me how I’m supposed to love myself
If you won’t love me first?
In the middle of the night I’m still searching out for a witness,
But in the mirror is the shape of a man I call Narcissus

Rise (feat. Darce)
03:20
|

I wanna remember how it feels
To just lay back and pour someone else's body over me
Been out of touch for so long
Spent some time on my own but
Now you've caught my eye
And I remember how it feels to have blood running
So let's get more acquainted
Let's get fucking dangerous
Don't know if we will work out right
But I've gotta get my mind over the last one
Baby that's where you come in
I know we could have a good time
Looking at you I'm feeling it rise
For the first time in a long time
Looking at you I'm coming alive
Looking at you I'm feeling it rise
Feeling it rise, feeling it rise, feeling it rise
My body's cold, it needs your heat
And only you can resurrect me when you climb on top of me
I was hibernating 'cause I felt I needed healing
Now I'm wide awake, so come and share your energy
You know I wanna get fully naked
Then go crazy
'Cause our auras could react and go on fire
Yeah I've gotta get my mind over the last one
Baby that's where you come in
I know we could have a good time
Looking at you I'm feeling it rise
And for the first time in a long time
Looking at you I'm coming alive
Looking at you I'm feeling it rise
Feeling it rise, feeling it rise, feeling it rise
Eyeline I'm checkin'
I promise they won't get it
Madness to my method in moments we won't mention
Tell from my message, I'm in
All Xs, no strings, no stressin'
It's just sex and our essence
We're so fresh
So you can, like, get it
On the balcony balancing off the edges
Connection so intense your hands are undressing
Head so dumb that I never learn my lesson
I wanna be free
Feel the four-to-floor of two heartbeats
Even if it only lasts for one night
Can you give it to me?
That thing I want so desperately
You know you're the one who's making it rise

Curious
03:24
|
|||
Oh you and me babe
All you've gotta give me is a time and place
And I'll be there
Anyway you like, I saw you looking my way
And I know you wanna try it
I know you have got your reservations
I wanna teach you to abandon all of them
Stop paying so much attention to your labels
'Cause it's a new world
And you should know that
It's ok to be curious
You don't have to take it all so s-s-serious, serious
You're just being curious, curious
C-c-c-curious, curious
You don't have to try to define
The way your brain is wired
It's more fun to colour outside of the lines
So push it all away
Then take off all your clothes
And let's go somewhere private, babe
I know you have got your reservations
I wanna teach you to abandon all of them
Stop paying so much attention to your labels
'Cause it's a new world
And you should know that
It's ok to be curious
You don't have to take it all so s-s-serious, serious
You're just being curious, curious
C-c-c-curious, curious
Oh I know we've put ourselves in separate boxes
But I know you want to get into mine
Use my body, I'm giving you permission
You can enter after dark, your own special admission
Access all areas, under one condition
You lose your inhibitions, surrender to temptation

Ego (with LOGUOS)
03:12
|
|||
I think it’s finally happening
I think I’ve finally settled in a state of mind
I’ll show just how I'm feeling
I found another lover when I looked inside
And I know I promised that I’d try to get better
At giving every piece of my heart to you
But the older I get, the less that it appeals to me to be, yeah
Overly devoted to somebody new
I know there’s space in this bed for my ego, baby
Won’t you make it for me?
I know there’s space in this bed for my ego, baby
Won’t you make it for me?
Won’t you make it for me?
Now it’s getting closer
I used to look for meaning in somebody else
But now it’s in the mirror, yeah
And I know that I can find it from inside myself
Listen to me when I say I’m a fool for your love (I’m a fool for your love)
But your body’s not the only one I feel
When our clothes come off
I know there’s space in this bed for my ego, baby
Won’t you make it for me?
I know there’s space in this bed for my ego, baby
Won’t you make it for me?
Won’t you make it for me?
I won’t keep it undercover, baby
I spent too long in that place
Don’t need anybody else to save me
'Cause I found myself now

Scarlet A
03:03
|
|||
Well I've got a wicked confession to make
I want you to know
The second you walked into this place my mind started to blow
You lean in with lips just inches from mine, tantalisingly close
Well I tried to keep it locked up inside and not get exposed
I've got somebody waiting up at home if I don't leave right now
I won't be leaving alone, 'cause you're taking me down
To the deep dark depths of my dirty mind
And that is where you will find
We've all got the capacity to
Lose sight of what's real and true
But close your eyes and try to hide
That there's a scarlet A on your dirty mind
It's more than lust but far less than love
This much I know
Well I've lost myself in those evil eyes
Don't know where to go
I don't expect that you are by yourself
Or you came here alone
But there's a room out back where we're both gonna go
Escape the deep dark depths of our dirty minds
But stay away from the light
We've all got the capacity to
Lose sight of what's real and true
You're not proud and you try to hide
That there's a Scarlet A on your dirty mind
Maybe you could be the one to show me how to keep it locked in my dirty mind

Reckless Abandon
03:58
|
|||
if the universe
drops atomic bombs onto your plans
were they ever really meant to happen?
was it pointless trying to plan them?
try to make a neat timetable
for your life, but you can’t
cos you know that shit is gonna happen
nature is a fan of reckless abandon
and just when I start to think
that I’ve got it all figured out, baby
my sense of security
gets taken away from me, away from me
reckless abandon
we’ve all got a plan but will we follow through?
reckless abandon, oh, reckless abandon
I was once inclined
To believe in divine intervention
Yeah, I’d believe that my savior would save me
If occurrences became to random
now I see that faith in a higher power
Fuels disappointment
and we can try our best to have a plan
but nature is a fan of reckless abandon
(Prechorus and chorus)
when love is lost and you thought it was true
and there’s still someone far worse off than you
when someone dies and they’re far too young
how come?
when hearts are breaking every single day
then a country is destroyed by a hurricane
what’s the point in trying to have a plan
At all?
reckless abandon, reckless abandon,
we’re all just pawns in a losing game.
reckless abandon, reckless abandon.

Forget Me Not
03:13
|

hey now,
i read my name on your lips tonight,
there must be something i’m doing right.
if i’m stuck in your head now.
yeah you’re wanting to know my name,
and in my mirror you want to stay...
but i know that love don’t last forever,
never let me go…
i want you to forget, forget-me-not,
forget, forget-me-not,
i’ll put myself in the mind of a stranger,
put myself deep inside your mind,
Then you’ll forget, forget me not.
tell me,
what it is about me that you like?
so i can use it another time,
cos i fear that i’m fading!
i used to be the talk of the town,
but now my numbers are going down.
i know that love don’t last forever,
never let me go…
i want you to forget, forget-me-not,
forget, forget-me-not,
i’m gonna put myself in the mind of a stranger,
put myself deep inside your mind.
baby, we could be a perfect team,
you could give me exactly what i need.
And i know what you’re after:
I could give you all your tears and laughter
cos it’s a long way back from obscurity,
it’s a hard life living as a nobody.
it’s a long way back from obscurity,
from obscurity…

Reflection
03:38
|
|||
Everybody wants to have a piece of me
But sometimes I don’t really feel like giving it up
Got a black hole eating up my energy
And turning it to something that’s not profitable
I don’t wanna talk it out , I just wanna make it loud
Try and beat the silence down until I can’t notice it
I don’t wanna be alone, can somebody take me home?
Bring another bottle, we can blur it out together
Cos I don’t like the man in my Reflection
It’s not you, it’s not you.
I don’t like his size, hair colour or complexion
It’s not you, it’s not who I want it to be
Look at me, and tell me what you see
Maybe it’s a man who’s always in control
Or maybe you could see underneath
Dip your finger in the pool and see my image mess up.
I don’t wanna have to say
anything that’s gonna make me look a little weaker, even if that’s how I’m feeling.
I don’t wanna be alone, can somebody take me home?
Bring another bottle, we can blur it out together.
Cos I don’t like the man in my Reflection
It’s not you, it’s not you.
I don’t like his size, hair colour or complexion
It’s not you, it’s not who I want it to be
I wanna remember how it feels.
Maybe I am gonna lose
The only thing that I know is true…
I don’t like the man inside of my Reflection,
It’s not you.
I don’t like the man inside of my Reflection,
It’s not you.
If I’m honest, I’d give anything to change it,
Yeah it’s true, it’s not you,
No, it’s not who I want it to be…
I wanna remember how it feels.
