You look deep into my eyes just to watch your own reflection And your words are plagiarised, seducing me with my invention But you’ve got me paralysed, like a spider with a fly I only move if that is your intention You hang just outside my reach, where the world is always brighter I’m once more into the breach, though there’s nothing left to fight for And baby, ain’t it sweet, you don’t need me on a leash When every word you speak just pulls me tighter Weave, weave, weave, weave, weave, weave me into dust Caught up in your devil’s web Woven by the words you said Tellin me that you’ll stay true I’m deceived and now you’ve run me through Weave, weave, weave, weave, weave, weave me into dust Yeeeeah, you hold me tighter than a Scavenger’s Daughter You draw me in until I – Yeeeeah, you take me over like I never fought it I’m cradled in your silk and poison (silk and poison) You take me into your arms like you never want to lose me Then you leave me in the dark, just a forgotten amusement But I’m happy in this nest, in this silent emptiness You’ve weakened me until I can’t refuse it Weave, weave, weave, weave, weave Caught up in your devil’s web Woven by the words you said Tellin me that you’ll stay true… I’m deceived and now you’ve run me through Yeeeeah, you hold me tighter than a Scavenger’s Daughter You draw me in until I – Yeeeeah, you take me over like I never fought it I’m cradled in your silk and poison I’m cradled in your silk and poison

I always fall the same way twice, cos hell’s as warm as paradise You know, I’ll heed no good advice Take the heat in my stride, back on my feet for another ride So go, and deal that hand tonight The scars that I’ve accrued, they show I don’t need you to save me The cards that I’ve abused, still got some more to lose, so play me Let’s go Double or nothing Trouble or nothing Double or nothing To the floor, to lose some more I always fall so far from home, ain’t got no cash, ain’t got no phone I’m cool to sit here on my own Live my life so wretchedly, with every vice I draw to me Until these burns are third degree The scars that I’ve accrued, they show I don’t need you to save me The cards that I’ve abused, still got some more to lose, so play me Let’s go Double or nothing Trouble or nothing Double or nothing To the floor, to lose some more Let’s go Double or nothing Trouble or nothing Double or nothing To the floor, to lose some more Double or nothing Trouble or nothing Double or nothing To the floor, to lose some more

Oh Rose, you’re sick, the invisible worm That flies in the night, in the howling storm Has found thy bed of crimson joy Dark, secret love does thy life destroy I’m drowning in my own hurricane The things I’ll do to make you look my way I’m spinning down into my own pain You’re here to stay If you don’t want me, don’t say you love me If you won’t have me, don’t leave me hanging on Dark, secret love Oh spell, you’re foul, the invisible knot That binds me inside in this endless rot It steals my pride and eats my joy Dark, secret love does my life destroy I’m strangled in my own tourniquet The things I’ll do to make it go away Confounded in everything you say You’re here to stay If you don’t want me, don’t say you love me If you won’t have me, don’t leave me hanging on Dark, secret love Dark, secret love Dark, secret love, don’t leave me hanging on Dark, secret love If you don’t want me, don’t say you love me If you won’t have me, don’t leave me hanging on If you don’t want me, don’t say you love me If you won’t have me, don’t leave me hanging on Dark, secret love Dark, secret love Dark, secret love, don’t leave me hanging on Dark, secret love

Naked Flame 04:42
You know I see right through you, though I’m afraid to call you out But if I hold onto you, I’ll only hurt myself You know I’m scared to lose you, though I'm less hopeful every day But I feel closer to you every time you push away But you’re a naked flame, you’ll only burn me again And yeah, I must be insane to love you And when I build you up, it’s like I’m speaking in tongues I know I can’t be the one, but I love you You know that if I leave you, I’ll just come crawling back for more You know that I’ll believe you, close my eyes to all your flaws You know the more I need you, the more you’ll see me as a fool But still I'll always treat you like you’re on a pedestal But you’re a naked flame, you’ll only burn me again And yeah, I must be insane to love you And when I build you up, it’s like I’m speaking in tongues I know I can’t be the one, but I love you
5.
Vanitas 03:10
Got a human skull, and a wooden flute, and a not-yet-rotten bowl of fruit I set them out like artists do, and I wish I could do the same to you Got a canvas, and the finest brush, for all the angles that the light don’t touch Draw it before it turns to dusk, cos living is only dust to dust I’ll capture you in vanitas Cos nothing’s ever gonna last What goes up must come down What you let go by won’t come back round Waiting for this soaring high To crush me to the ground Hanging in suspended time, and the moments pass unsatisfied Trying to keep them all alive, to make a shrine of you and I The day, it slips away from me, and my canvas ever incomplete Close my eyes before you leave, to burn you into my memory I’ll capture you in vanitas Cos nothing’s ever gonna last What goes up must come down What you let go by won’t come back round Waiting for this soaring high To crush me to the ground How easily it disappears Til presently I’ll doubt that you were ever there Before I even take it in Before my eyes you’re vanishing Did I imagine it? I’ll capture you in vanitas Cos nothing’s ever gonna last What goes up must come down What you let go by won’t come back round Waiting for this soaring high To crush me to the ground

Murderess 04:37
She’s down, she’s like a crow trapped on the ground Try to find her wings but she’ll never fly Think you know the reason why And she’s hanging around, an unwelcome guest Here to feed on the blood and the flesh, Truth and light, yes, light, yes, light, yes She’s a fighter, she’s a killer, she’ll get ya She’s a fighter, she’s a killer, she’ll get ya Don’t need a silencer Yeah, she’s a murderess Cracking skulls in a party dress She’s a murderess, oooh, Yeah, she’s a murderess Cracking skulls in a party dress She’s a murderess Bloodied and bare, white skin and black hair And you’re making a mistake with that apple you just ate She’s a viper, she’s a striker, vampire She’s a viper, she’s a striker, vampire She’ll take a life now Yeah, she’s a murderess Cracking skulls in a party dress She’s a murderess, oooh, Yeah, she’s a murderess Cracking skulls in a party dress She’s a murderess Try to shun her, she’s close Try to shrink her, she grows Try to sink her, she floats
7.
Wormtongue 03:33
Every word that leaves her mouth is a lie Don’t it feel that it’s just dragging you down, down, down, down down Your poison ivy, she passes by me, like she never knew me Though just yesterday She set upon me, took secrets from me Seeking only to betray She’s got a wormtongue You’re coming undone, She’ll leave you blind You’re outta time She’s got a wormtongue You’re coming undone, She’ll leave you blind Lost and denied Don’t you feel that it’s controlling your mind Hold on tight cos she’ll be taking you down, down, down, down down Your one and only, she’ll kill you slowly Till you can’t recall how it felt before she fed you poison, And now you’ve chosen your queen for evermore She’s got a wormtongue, You’re coming undone, She’ll leave you blind You’re outta time She’s got a wormtongue, You’re coming undone, She’ll leave you blind Lost and denied

Amateur 03:34
I used to live my life like Becky Sharp Playing Snakes and Ladders, and breaking hearts But now it’s all backfired, and I’m back at the start And all it does is tear me, all it does is tear me apart I used to tell myself that I don’t care at all And all my cruel intentions, wouldn’t have to answer for But now the floor’s the ceiling though I’ve still got space to fall And I don’t wanna do this, do this no more Cos I’m an amateur, oh, and you’re a pro And I’m left scrambling, while you’re in the zone I’m an amateur, yeah, and you’re a pro And I’m not managing, to hold my own With every move you’re making Can’t you see I’m breaking As I sit here waiting by the phone Like an amateur I used to pride myself on being cool Making bad decisions, and breaking all the rules But now it’s come full-circle, I’m left feeling like a fool And all it’s doing is making, making me ill Cos I’m an amateur, oh, and you’re a pro And I’m left scrambling, while you’re in the zone I’m an amateur, yeah, and you’re a pro And I’m not managing, to hold my own With every move you’re making Can’t you see I’m breaking As I sit here waiting by the phone You’re the best, and I’m just out of my depth, while you’re cruising You’re on top but I don’t know when to stop, though I’m losing I’m an amateur, oh, and you’re a pro And I’m left scrambling, while you’re in the zone I’m an amateur, yeah, and you’re a pro And I’m not managing, to hold my own With every move you’re making Can’t you see I’m breaking As I sit here waiting by the phone And every breath I’m taking Always more frustrating As I lie awake here on my own And my heart is aching To be so mistaken When you set the pace I should’ve known I’m an amateur

You may know a man who don’t love with his fists But now where there’s no bruise, it just feels like negligence If he cares, you’ll feel it Look for ways to tune the feeling out Try to drink it away but it only pours back out And with every day, it’s harder not to stay His honey words stick at every decibel D’ya think he’s the one who’s gonna lead you out of hell? Don’t forget who put you there And you know he doesn’t care Babe, he wouldn’t shed a tear if you fell From the moment you wake, there’s nobody else Yeah, that’s the way he works through you like he does Everything that he takes, from Midas touch to dust Coming on strong, with the many cards he holds But the moment he’s done, you’re out in the cold Have you learned that all that glitters isn’t gold? His honey words stick at every decibel D’ya think he’s the one who’s gonna lead you out of hell? Don’t forget who put you there And you know he doesn’t care Babe, he wouldn’t shed a tear if you fell (If you love me, free me You know I burn so easy) Darling, you’re my guiding star I could never stray too far

Slave 03:05
Want you to hate me, want you to chase me Want you to hold me till you suffocate me Want you to save me, want you to crave me, Want you to mould me and manipulate me I’m a sucker for a psychopath You got me sucking for an autograph And I’m depraved, I wanna be your slave And I’ll behave, I wanna be your slave Want you to take me, want you to break me, Want you to fuck me like you’re gonna pay me Want you to shake me, want you to shape me Want you to hit me and asphyxiate me I feel a shiver every time you laugh I guess I’m asking for the aftermath And I’m depraved, I wanna be your slave And I’ll behave, I wanna be your slave Want you to make me hurt And drag me through the dirt Want you to make me work Baby, you’re so perverse And I’m depraved… And I’m depraved, I wanna be your slave And I’ll behave, I wanna be your slave

Once again I’ve had enough of wasting my time Once again I’ve had enough of hearing your lies And once again, I’m getting up, I’m getting over you I’m getting on, I'm getting over all I’ve been through I could be stronger, hold you for longer, and still all you’d know, is that I could be smarter, run to you faster, and still all you’d know Is a paper doll I know it’s electric But your kiss in the rain was no more than a hat trick I know it’s electric But your kiss in the rain was no more than a hat trick I know it’s electric But your kiss in the rain was no more than a hat trick I know it’s electric But your kiss in the rain was no more than a hat trick And you’re never gonna get a chance to hear me say that I believe you And you’re never gonna get a chance to hear me say that I might need you And you’re never gonna get a chance to get to see how it’s gonna be With me I could be stronger, hold you for longer, and still all you’d know, is that I could be smarter, run to you faster, and still all you’d know Is a paper doll I know it’s electric But your kiss in the rain was no more than a hat trick I know it’s electric But your kiss in the rain was no more than a hat trick I know it’s electric But your kiss in the rain was no more than a hat trick I know it’s electric But your kiss in the rain was no more than a hat trick I could be stronger, hold you for longer, and still all you’d know, is that I could be smarter, run to you faster, and still all you’d know Is a paper doll

I’m standing on a knife edge And baby, yeah, I’ve made my bed I’m planning all my nightmares Close my eyes on all my fears I’m sick And it’s lucky you can’t hear me think Oh baby, I’m afflicted And it’s scary how I’m losing it, losing it, losing it And I’m waiting, waiting, waiting to burn I’ve nowhere to turn My house is on fire I’m waiting, waiting, waiting all day I can’t walk away I’ve built my own pyre And I’m waiting to burn I’m standing on a tightrope Heaven above me and hell below And if I fall there’s no hope Cos there’s only one way I’ll go But I want it And I’m willing my feet to slip Yeah, baby, I’m addicted And it’s scary how I’m needing it, needing it, needing it And I’m waiting, waiting, waiting to burn I’ve nowhere to turn My house is on fire I’m waiting, waiting, waiting all day I can’t walk away I’ve built my own pyre It’s under, under, under my skin It’s drawing me in It’s gripping me tighter Than ever, ever, ever I’ve been There’s no way to win Against this desire And I’m waiting to burn I’m waiting, I’m waiting, I’m waiting I’m waiting, I’m waiting, I’m waiting And I’m waiting, waiting, waiting to burn I’ve nowhere to turn My house is on fire I’m waiting, waiting, waiting all day I can’t walk away I’ve built my own pyre It’s under, under, under my skin It’s drawing me in It’s gripping me tighter Than ever, ever, ever I’ve been There’s no way to win Against this desire And I’m waiting to burn
