One more time around Oh feet don’t fail me now I’ve been beat, but I’m coming round And this heat is gonna burn you down Oh one more resurrection Not coming back for your affection I’ve been there, done that, now I’m moving on And I’ll rise Like a pheonix I’ve got a few tricks left Haven’t burnt out just yet I’ll rise Believe I can do this I’ve already been through this Only so many tries But from the darkness I’m gonna spark this Cuz I know I’ll rise Oh more start again And I’ve learned to be my own friend I’ve been hurt too, but I’m healin’ I’m gonna smashed through this ceilin’ Oh one more resurrection Not coming back for your affection I’ve been there, done that, now I’m moving on Oh I’ll rise Like a phoenix I’ve got a few tricks left Haven’t burnt out just yet I’ll rise Believe I can do this I’ve already been through this Only so many tries But from the darkness I’m gonna spark this Cuz I know I’ll rise I’ll rise I’ll rise Ain’t nothin’ holdin’ me Ain’t nothin’ holdin’ me I’ll rise I’ll rise Ain’t nothin’ holdin’ me Ain’t nothin’ holdin’ me Oh I’ll rise Like a phoenix I’ve got a few tricks left Haven’t burnt out just yet I’ll rise Believe I can do this I’ve already been through this Only so many tries But from the darkness I’m gonna spark this Cuz I know I’ll rise I’ll rise I’ll rise Ain’t nothin’ holdin’ me Ain’t nothin’ holdin’ me I’ll rise I’ll rise Ain’t nothin’ holdin’ me Ain’t nothin’ holdin’ me

Kicks You get your kicks Outta fixing old cars Or vintage motorcycles Goin' over your bars It's true But my kick's you You get your kicks On the open road Playin' euchre matches When it's finally snowed It's true But my kick's you Can't get my kicks Get my kicks Get my kicks now Life it's a bitch It's a bitch In a fix now You get your kicks Fixin' barbecues Jammin' with your friends Talkin' the latest who's who's It's true But my kick's you You get your kicks Outta any old thang Fact I'm the only one Who you don't seem to kick it to But my kick's you Can't get my kicks Get my kicks Get my kicks now Life it's a bitch It's a bitch In a fix now Can't get my kicks Get my kicks Get my kicks now Life it's a bitch It's a bitch In a fix now I guess I'll have to pick Another poison Learn a trick Anything to get you off my mind Call it love or call it war You're the one I'm fightin' for Wish that you could be on my side Can't get my kicks Get my kicks Get my kicks now Life it's a bitch It's a bitch In a fix now Can't get my kicks Get my kicks Get my kicks now Life it's a bitch It's a bitch In a fix now I guess I'll have to pick Another poison Learn a trick Anything to get you off my mind Call it love or call it war You're the one I'm fightin' for Wish that you could be on my side Can't get my kicks Get my kicks Get my kicks now Life it's a bitch It's a bitch In a fix now Can't get my kicks Get my kicks Get my kicks now Life it's a bitch It's a bitch In a fix now

I can see you I can see you runnin But I can't catch you I can't keep your lovin' You wanted space You wanted time Another face cut out of mine And I'll be fine Honey I'll b fine I can see you I can see you guardin' But I can't help you On this path you started You needed space You needed time Another face cut out of mine And I'll be fine Honey I'll be fine I hope you fix your head I hope you find the sweetness Cuz I'll be fine Hope you'll be fine It's almost time You leave my mind

Expiration Date 03:50
lyrics
buy track
I can't read your mind I'm not telepathic You keep avoiding it But it ain't disappearin' We've gotta talk It might not be easy But it can't wait Expiration date Sometimes we're the same We've got a lot in common I love your family And you love mine But if we don't want the same Things, we better let it go Cuz you can't leave it to fate Expiration date I'm givin' you everything Come on, give me somethin' No more dodgin' Is this all or nothin'? Cuz I'm givin' you everythin' I won't hold my breath For an answer Cuz I know you're scared And I can see why But if we don't talk Somethin's gonna give Don't want it on your plate Expiration date I'm givin' you everything Come on, give me somethin' No more dodgin' Is this all or nothin'? Cuz I'm givin' you everythin' Oh I see little feet and hands But that don't fit into your plans But I'm givin' you everything Come on, give me somethin' No more dodgin' Is this all or nothin'? Cuz I'm givin' you everythin' Come on, give me somethin' No more dodgin' Is this all or nothin'? Cuz I'm givin' you everythin'

Transform 02:34

These days Stuck in a cocoon babe Throwin' lots of punches Tryin' to let the light in Ohhh I've been dreamin' Of the moment when I get outside These walls Wonder what's waiting on the outside Wonder who's turnin' on and off the light Wonder if I'll fit in Wonder what What will happen I'll transform Make me somethin' beautiful I'll transform Make me somethin'beautiful I'll transform These days I'm a fuckin' island And I'm slowly sinkin' Water's slowly risin' Over me I've been waiting for a boat To come upon my shores Give me company Maybe they will put some roots down Maybe they will go about setting up a town Maybe I won't be so lonely Perhaps the sea will ease up off me I'll transform Make me somethin' beautiful I'll transform Make me somethin'beautiful I'll transform Oooooooooo Oooooooooo Oooooooooo Oooooooooo I'll transform Make me somethin' beautiful I'll transform Make me somethin'beautiful I'll transform I'll transform I'll transform I'll transform I'll transform

I woulda touched you baby If you wanted to be touched I woulda called you lately But I know that I'm too much I shoulda left you baby I shoulda left you when I knew But I couldn't bring myself I couldn't bring myself to But I'm fallin Back In love, back in love, back in love, back in love With myself I don't need you to love her Cuz I'm gonna love her better But I'm fallin Back In love, back in love, back in love, back in love With myself I don't need you to love her I woulda taken all my plans And thrown 'em in the wind I woulda watched you from the stands Just waiting for one of your grins I woulda taken one of your hands And asked you to be mine I woulda been your biggest fan Wasted all my precious time But I'm fallin Back In love, back in love, back in love, back in love With myself I don't need you to love her Cuz I'm gonna love her better But I'm fallin Back In love, back in love, back in love, back in love With myself I don't need you to love her There was a time When your voice hit my mind Like a storm Stirring up thoughts And then tearing me down But kept me warm Now all our pictures And memories Are starting to fade Can feel you drifting off Feel our directions Have changed But I'm fallin Back In love, back in love, back in love, back in love With myself I don't need you to love her Cuz I'm gonna love her better But I'm fallin Back In love, back in love, back in love, back in love With myself I don't need you to love her

On my way to post production Both feet into our destruction I met someone I am movin' on Cuttin loose our connection Once I needed your protection That's over now Time has made me strong I can't help but feel ashamed Few months gone and it's all changed Met someone I am movin' on Oh I'm in love And I think everybody knows Everybody knows Though I'm tryin' not to show it I'm in love And I think everybody knows Everybody knows Though I'm tryin' not to show it Everybody knows it Everybody knows it On my way I'm stealin' bases Lettin' go of time and places Know what I want and gettin what I need Hello sun I'm seein' you Even grey I'm seein' blue Kiss me now and leave me on my way Oh I'm in love And I think everybody knows Everybody knows Though I'm tryin' not to show it I'm in love And I think everybody knows Everybody knows Though I'm tryin' not to show it Everybody knows it Everybody knows it Thought it might take a little while Hoped it might take a little while Thought it might take a little while Hoped it might take a little while To fall in love Cuz I think everybody knows That's the way it goes Ain't no use in tryin' to slow it Fall in love Cuz baby everybody knows That's the way it goes Ain't no use in tryin' to slow it Cuz everybody knows it Everybody knows I'm still in love with you

My brain Doesn't listen to me My god I've been suffering slowly Floating in my head Missing why you said Fuck me I've been in the dark Resting On a dwindling spark Hating on myself Forgetting my own health But I'm fucked up I fucking knew it And it's time to Deal with my shit And I'm working on my habits And I'm loving All my little fucked-up-ness All my little fucked-up-ness My friends Finally see me clearly Cuz I'm Finally living queerly Shed my extra skin Finally let them in And I'm kinder To myself And not dressed for Someone else Finally in my skin Finally let them in But I'm fucked up I fucking knew it And it's time to Deal with my shit And I'm working on my habits And I'm loving All my little fucked-up-ness All my little fucked-up-ness What if I told you I was? What if I told you I was? What if I told you I was? What if I told you I was? What if I told you I was? What if I told you I was? What if I told you I was? What if I told you I was? But I'm fucked up I fucking knew it And it's time to Deal with my shit And I'm working on my habits And I'm loving All my little fucked-up-ness All my little fucked-up-ness But I'm fucked up I fucking knew it And it's time to Deal with my shit And I'm working on my habits And I'm loving All my little fucked-up-ness All my little fucked-up-ness What if I told you I was? What if I told you I was? What if I told you I was? What if I told you I was? What if I told you I was? What if I told you I was? What if I told you I was? What if I told you I was Fucked up?
