LYRICS
Written by: Sheena Bernett


Intro

"Lunching one day with Morgan, I was weary and ill at ease
For he started quoting Sparkenbroke, before we had reached the cheese I knew not what he was saying, and was passed caring then
So I stuck him on the schnozzle with Corton 1910"

~Nicholas Bentley (from book How Can You Bear to Be Human)

How can you bear to be human Sadness overwhelms my heart deep


Too Bad You’re So Beautiful


Break me off a piece off that
If it won’t hurt my back
You look at my knees trembling But you don’t flirt

Strong wind has taken me hostage in the desert

It’s too bad
It’s too bad you’re so beautiful It’s too bad
It’s too bad it hurts

So bring me love
Bring me joy
But don’t bring me worth
When there is nothing to say you wish there were


Between


Cross-eyed mind is why you fall all over your self Fear to remain still kind
As you pile high the guilt
Playing with time

Cause the clocks in bed Between my thoughts

Shiny boy distract me from myself Pour sugar all over these wounds And “ Don't Forget”
A reference to my song

Is all I need to get my point across Between my thoughts


Black or White


Black or White there is no Grey
I live without colour
It’s not always beautiful
Many shapes I do adore but only see them fully Extremes possess my world

This master piece
Which is my life
Must be done solely
Only I can create my work Only I dream my dreams

Did you find the median?
Did you find the half mark?
Did you find the measurements to create beautiful art? Or were the gestures influencing you?

Surrealism intrigues me Nothing makes more sense To my mind
To my soul
To my heart
To my senses
What tense this is?
I don’t know

Black or White there is no Grey I live without colour
It’s not always beautiful


Home


Home
When every moment has been explored When we learn to be disappointed When weakness is your only strength When sleep deprives you of life
When everyone is your friend but you When filth is all you can see or do

Go Home

When comes decision you stand aside
When the future was your only prize
When art has lost its force
When you’re so close to the ground that you can’t be floored

Go Home
When every moment has been explored Go Home


Shake My Core


Shake my core you fucking whore Break my back you score
Those reptiles those fucking beings I swear too much it seems

Save it all to tear it down Uh oh
Till you don’t hear a sound Uh oh

Frighten birds with broken wings We crush them down
Let’s lift them up
Let’s make them see

You’ll steal my thoughts if I write them down So never ever will I speak
Paper dolls have grown on me
They stick together unlike you

You pull my skin
You rip my flesh
You pour me out Now you’re refreshed

There are two songs in my one heart
They’re opposite directions so they tear me apart Taste the salt
Shut your eyes
It’s no surprise
I’ve gone too far
But we’ve come so far


Sexy Beat


Suppose we fainted on the bus Suppose we then fell in love Suppose your words tickled my soul Suppose all love didn't grow old

Though love is in your eyes
My mind tells me lies
Truthfully you're the one for me But past experience won't let us be Happy times laced with doubt Pour me out

Fill me up with hope and with love Then I can truly enjoy
This gift
This divine oh this beauty

And this time

Please my ears
Accept my tears
Your honesty devout to me
You speak of my beauty and I hope it is that of the soul you see Because another pretty face just won't do
I need much more of you

Though love is in your eyes
My mind tells me lies
Truthfully you're the one for me But past experience won't let us be Happy times laced with doubt


Lie of Love


Don't you even dare
Settle down
So the excitement's gone
You learn to cope so you won't choke

Hold me up
Be my friend
You torture me frequently
I know yes, you're a mess
But pretty things won't redeem Your perfect love
Won't compare
To the Lie of Love

You've got a lot of nerve
Taking me for a ride
And then you kick me to the curb
Breaking me down behind my back
You better hold your breath so you don't laugh

Hold me up
Be my friend
You torture me frequently
I know yes, you're a mess
But pretty things won't redeem Your perfect love
Won't compare
To the Lie of Love


The Dance


Let's keep the dance in the basement
Don't let our minds catch up to our thoughts Provoke to humour
Humour to provoke

Dim the lights on the situation
So that we can't tell dark from light
Drown our voices with the sound
Let the the rhythms see to our eyes
Did you think this lullaby would put me to sleep? Well I 'm still awake
Where are you?
Sang me pretty songs
With all words wrong
Sang me pretty songs
With all words


Mother


Mother forgive me
For I have sinned
And I never thought I would
You have given all that you have
And I know that I should understand the demons of life And how they fallow at our backs
But still we find it in each other
And it hurts even more

So when you turn your back on me
I know you'll be watching
With your mothers eye
Beneath your hairline above your neck

And I will watch you for I have grown And now have the same kind of wisdom Oh and the love as all of our kind


Waiting Till I Die


I'll be waiting till I die Just passing time

Finding some pleasure in three dollar boots Writing songs on the metro
Hoping I will find you

Find you
You
Pouring poison on to paper
Flooding between each line
Playing the same tune to keep the words coming

Starving my body to punish the world Finding peace in anger

Posture perfect
A frown that turns the world belly-side down Wiggle through that hole
Find a soul beneath that Jaundice hued peau Bargain or bet on the music of that strange fret Of course you lied
Of course you failed

Life is the imitation of what's real


Pound your Heart


So you’ve forgotten what you want
Gain it all to give to give it up
Pound your heart manually
Not the next time hopefully
Piercing thoughts will fade away
And when that time comes you’ll hear me say Something along these lines

In time

And I won’t compromise who I am this time Who I am
