I Am On Something

I am on something
I lose all my darkness, I float
You take my hand
and we dance and I feel every note
I do not feel like being good
I want to know what you would do, if you could
I am on something
I see that you're in it now too
Everything feels like it comes directly out of you
I do not feel like being good
I want to know what you would do, if you could
What have we done, what have we become
We floated away, and forgot what was wrong
I do not feel like being good
We were on something, you don't remember what we did
Hey, was it you, that suggested that we go to bed
I do not feel like being good
I want to know what you would do, if you could

Running

I'm running from you
I'm hiding with my sisters
I'm running from you
I'm hiding with the women who give me shelter
they dont ask of me
what you ask of me
I can't give you what you need
My sisters hold me close
they whisper like the trees, they listen to me
but did I make a mistake, thinking they could replace
the kind of love you give to me
All I ever really wanted, was to be close to you
All that I have done is run, I keep running from the truth
I'm so deep in, so deep in the woods
I'm running from you
I'm hiding in the hope that you'll come after me
But I know that you wont, you're not one to follow
its time for me to be alone
it's time for me to be alone

I Know What You Are

I know what you are, you're not the tide, you're the wind
blowing me about, tearing me limb from limb
I thought we were safe, I thought you'd carry me always
You pull up the earth, you toss the ground in my face
But you can't hurt me now, you can't hurt me now
Chewing up the dirt, something has died in my chest
something I held for you, buried deep in my breast
you take what you want, then talk as if it was nothing
as if you didn't know, my heart was in your hands, burning
But you can't hurt me now, you can't hurt me now
You can love whoever you like
I no longer think of you as mine
You can love whoever you like
I no longer think of you as mine

One day you will be loved by someone else than him
someone who knows your depth and wants to walk in it
Love is not a war to win it’s putting down your weapons
you are not afraid to love, just that it won’t happen - again
One day you will want it, a babe held in your arms
you cannot imagine this, it will be all you think upon
Little feet and little hands, eyes you could swim in
All your trouble all your pain, will pale in comparison
The skyline of the north, stays safely in your bones
no matter where you are you can always make a home
When I’m gone I’ll stay with you, I’m in the way you speak
When you pick up to say hello, people will think you’re me
One day you will be old, and you’ll wake up early
With the light with the birds that call, no need to feel sorry
There are secrets you can’t tell but you can forgive yourself
All the anger, that you’ve held you can let go of that now
This is how you comfort me, this is what we do
I’m afraid you won’t be right, I’m afraid that i’m not you
