worth the bad news then the good news worth the black moods that attack you worth the bad news then the good news worth the black moods that attack you back to what i do best back to my way, dear back to flirting with death back to my nadir girls beginning with L only ever gave me hell you a devil dressed as an angel? could you be my Rapunzel? and i watch it die down with the ones i want around i watch it die down with the ones i care about and i watch it die down with the ones i want around i watch it die down with the ones i care so much about what have i gotta do… what have i gotta do… what have i gotta do… what have i gotta do…

Invisible 04:21
i am invisible i go unseen i am black ice a creak on the stairs i move unnoticed a shout in the street i am a tree falling in the woods, but i still make a sound i still make a sound one day, i’ll speak your language one day, i’ll win you round you can turn your back on me and make me your enemy but you can’t take this away from me you can act like you can’t see me go ahead, and boycott me but you can’t take this away from me i still make a sound and make myself proud one day, i’ll speak your language & one day, i’ll win you round

Coy 04:49
a sweetheart so reticent and movements so hesitant do i read – between the lines? do i take it – as a compliment? cross my path darling, cross my path and don’t be coy with me and i won’t be coy with you do you swoon? like i do have you butterflies? or is it just me i don’t mind if we go – painstakingly slow or if we only liaise once in a blue moon do i make – the first moves? do i take – the first steps [chorus]

Dark Arms 03:02
how am i supposed to sleep with you around me? how am i supposed to slip away with you all on me? with your dark arms around me with you climbing like ivy with you tangled up with me gently pulling at my seams and you gatecrash and you trespass kiss my forehead with your strings attached you make me dream so furiously you make me dream so feverishly [x2] we pass rays (back and forth) until i fall away we pass rays (back and forth) until i fall away (through the mattress) you sleeptalk your heart out we keep all the light out you invade my sleep and you steal the sheets [bridge, chorus] wild flower… i’m a wallflower

Barn Owls 06:08
it cries behind my house it haunts the roads at night it hides just out of sight and cries the saddest cry its business is unfinished it’s the only thing that calls sounds so fucking alone it cuts me to the bone demon, death or ghost the loneliest of roads it’s watching from a post as we effortlessly float the middle of nowhere in a no man’s land the darkest night since records began where it’s unlit where my love is black as cassiterite [chorus] flying low carried on a stretcher somnambulant in an old German car in my hunting ground with a heart-shaped face DDT will be the death of me [chorus]
10.
number 1 is number 2 reshape myself for you go chasing my Cinderella trynna show her unicorns i can make a home for her burn it down when she is gone and sleep in the soot holding on to her halo well, you know where to find me you’re never ever far from me and i will never ever let you down you can always come Cry To Me don’t you worry about her don’t you worry about her we could kill time in your room we could kill time on your rooftop and you and me relapse slip back into bad ways you are an instrument i don't know how to play and you and me relapse slip back into those bad old ways you are an instrument i don't know how to play my Chinese lanterns catch fire and burn and come down in flames if my body is a home then i’m an arsonist death by a thousand cuts death by a billion drinks i will help you fall asleep and i will see you through the night and i will show when you need me most i’ve always got time for your black moods don’t you worry about her don’t you worry about her we could kill time in your room we could kill time on your rooftop and you and me relapse slip back into bad ways you are an instrument i don't know how to play and you and me relapse slip back into those bad old ways you are an instrument i don't know how to play i’m on fire but i’ve just gotta ride it out

Bedrooms 03:48
same bed, so far apart a lake of sheets between us & that beautiful back to me so coldly… so we take turns being cowards so we take turns breaking hearts then we start again write it off again and no one asks and you don’t tell and you’re folded and you’re torn in two and you privately hyperventilate like it’s Groundhog Day another morning in South East London like six minutes and 42 seconds into Good Morning, Captain another bedroom when i liked yours more another bedroom, when i – wanna haunt yours even though it ended guess at least it happened and i know that it won’t climb in through my window
12.
Wounded Eyes 03:11
i wanna disappear with my wounded eyes i wanna disappear go out like a light i wanna slip away with my aching heart i wanna disappear burn out like a car with my wounded eyes with my wounded eyes with my wounded eyes with my wounded, blue eyes i wanna disappear and burn out brightly i wanna disappear secretly & privately slip away from here with no goodbye i wanna disappear and write myself off [chorus] and i know that this is – a game i can’t win yet again, this is – a game i can’t win
