Test the water Let me swim Find the centre Find the rim Keep your head above the surface Submerge your limbs Watch the setting sun on the horizon Watch the light grow dim Tides will bring me back to you Push and pull and bring me through I’m shy from the thought of you I’ll take shelter from my emotions Until the sea brings you back to me Boil the ocean Cut off your fins Quiet the notion Get under my skin Come hell or high water I will win Watch the rising sun on the horizon Watch the light come in Tides will bring me back to you Push and pull and bring me through I’m shy from the thought of you I’ll take shelter from my emotions Until the sea brings you back to me

Only You 04:06
Have I been kept awake? Is this as far can I take it? Have I been left to waste? Is this as far can I make it? Cause every little step I take And every little move I make Cause Only You Can make me feel the way Like you do Cause Only You Can take me away Like you do I’ve been pulled away I’ve been steered from all I’ve longed for I’ve decayed, replayed, conveyed I’ve been led astray for sure Cause every little step I take And every little move I make Cause Only You Can make me feel the way Like you do Cause Only You Can take me away Like you do

Satisfy Me 04:45
Everything’s a blur Under neon lights and flashing signs I’ve been out all night I don’t want to be alone anymore What can I say? I'm a woman of impeccable taste Come satisfy me Please satisfy me Your eyes are aflame Your soul is mine to claim Come satisfy me Please satisfy me You have only yourself to blame If you’re willing to play my game Everything’s a breeze Under laser beams and lucid dreams I’ve been out all night I don’t want to be alone anymore What can I say? I’m a woman of impeccable taste Come satisfy me Please satisfy me Your eyes are aflame Your soul is mine to claim Come satisfy me Please satisfy me No need for names If you’re willing to play my game You’ll have only yourself to blame

(I don't know why I do this to myself This stupid thing where I torture myself because I think that I'm responsible for everyone I care about, for everyone I feel like I'm the cause of their suffering, So I have suffer, I have to bare it with them to make it better and it doesn't make it better, it's worse for everyone And all of these stupid idea swirl around in my head like there's a whole universe in there. So I suppose he was right, in a very poetic and cliche kind of way, my thoughts are like constellations in my head, ones with too many stars, stars that have been fathomed into constellations that shouldn't exist. But that's me. Barely existing) Don’t tell me if it hurts I know how to feel When you live on outskirts Can you tell if you’re even real? Don’t tell me if it’s wrong I know how to deal With being all alone Can you tell if you’ve even healed? When you’re surrounded by temptations Out of sync with the vibrations You feel sick from the mere sensations No way to let out your frustrations And your emotions are fluctuations Out of sync with the variations You’re sick to death from your foundations When your thoughts are like constellations Don’t tell me I’m bleeding I’ve done it before When you live on the outskirt Can you tell if you want more? Don’t tell me to calm down I used to adore The feeling of dying Can I still speak for me? (Can I still for you?) When you’re surrounded by temptations Out of sync with the vibrations You feel sick from the mere sensations No way to let out your frustrations And your emotions are fluctuations Out of sync with the variations You’re sick to death from your foundations When your thoughts are like constellations (I guess I deserve it in a way, I shouldn't be so hard on myself I shouldn't be so critical of myself, It's not my fault if others suffer, it's not my job to fix all the broken things in the world, you can't save everyone, my galaxies are not their galaxies and I don't have to rescue them and I'm not as important as I think I am and that's fine... That is fine... Right?) When you’re surrounded by temptations Out of sync with the vibrations You feel sick from the mere sensations No way to let out your frustrations And your emotions are fluctuations Out of sync with the variations You’re sick to death from your foundations When your thoughts are like constellations
