ksadwin The perfect jams for when it's 3 am again and you're leaning against the bar in the dark, holding onto this chorus because it's 3 am and I'm about to lose you, I know (I know) Favorite track: You Fell Out Of Dancing.

Devin Anderson Totally in love with this album! It's so danceable, and beautiful, and painful, and just effing amazing! I had to put in money, I just couldn't take this for free. Favorite track: I Know What You Want From Me.

Hold Your Own 06:04
lyrics
buy track
Baptized Hold your own And pray that the red light running past doesn’t stop at your window (Red light) I’ve spent so long wishing I’ve spent so long waiting It’s been too many winters in this cold town And this city’s slowly bringing me down I’ve been sleeping on my own a long time How’d I get up? Been lost under the Cape Town sky Searching for provenance In a place that I’ll never find Patiently wandering I’ve smoothed round the edges The water doesn’t call me anymore And it’s been months since I heard from the shore Baptized Hold your own And pray that the red light running past doesn’t stop at your window I’ve spent so long wishing I’ve spent so long waiting I’ve spent so long wishing I’ve spent so long waiting I’ve spent so long wishing I’ve spent so long waiting I’ve spent so long wishing I’ve spent so long waiting I’ve spent so long wishing (I’ve been caught up in your shining light) I’ve spent so long waiting (I’ve been left holding onto a time that the tide long capsized) I’ve spent so long wishing (I’ve been caught up in your shining light) I’ve spent so long waiting (You’ve gotta hold your own Hold) Baptized Hold your own And pray that the red light running past doesn’t stop at your window Baptized Hold your own And pray that the red light running past doesn’t stop at your window Baptized Hold your own And pray that the red light running past doesn’t stop at your window (Red light) I’ve spent so long wishing I’ve spent so long waiting It’s been too many winters in this cold town And this city’s slowly bringing me down

You Fell out of dancing with me Couldn’t make it to the show Now the singer sings alone I know I want it all (Oooooooh) What a thundering call You fell out of dancing with me You fell out of dancing with me It’s 3am again It’s 3am and I’m leaning against the bar In the dark Holding onto this chorus because It’s 3am and I’m about to lose you I know Keep close The dark ain’t what it used to be And the light keeps running from me It’s 3am again It’s 3am and I’m leaning against the bar In the dark Holding onto this chorus because It’s 3am and I’m about to lose you I know I know I know I know I know I know It’s 3am again It’s 3am and I’m leaning against the bar In the dark Holding onto this chorus because It’s 3am and I, I’m about to lose you I know I know It’s 3am It’s 3am and I’m leaning against the bar In the dark Holding onto this chorus because I’m about to lose you (I’m about to lose you) I’m about to lose you (I’m about to lose you) I’m about to lose you (I’m about to lose you) I’m about to lose you

The Ground Beneath Our Feet 04:55
lyrics

Looking back To where I was before Couldn’t have done much more To keep the wolves from your bedroom door Outside the light Moving again Crying like a bleeding heart Trying like a false start Say it and you’ll blow me apart Here comes the end again she said Just speak slowly I can’t hear you now I’m breaking loud I’m breaking loud I’m breaking loud Just keep close please I can’t lose you now I can see The shadow side of the day Two-toned in its brightness That’s why I prefer the night This sun will make me a liar Outside the light Moving again Crying like a bleeding heart Trying like a false start Say it and you’ll blow me apart Here comes the end again she said Just speak slowly I can’t hear you now (I can’t hear you I can’t hear you I can’t hear you now) I’m breaking loud I’m breaking loud I’m breaking loud Just keep close please I can’t lose you now Press yourself against the fault lines Hold me together just one last time It’s alright (Can you feel the ground beneath our feet?) It’s alright Press yourself against the fault lines Hold me together just one last time It’s alright (Can you feel the ground beneath our feet?) It’s alright As long as you Speak slowly I promise I’ll Speak slowly Cause I can’t lose you like this After all this time I’ll tear this city apart Make it match my broken heart I’ll tear this city apart (Apart) As long as you Speak slowly Speak slowly

There’s nothing extraordinary about this I wanted peace But I got fury And a thousand other selves I’d hoped to be But, look at me now I’ll be crawling in this skin Till I fit myself again There’s nothing extraordinary about this I’ll shine sometime I’ve seen all the ghosts And I’ve seen myself among them I’ve seen all the ghosts And I’ve seen myself among them Cut your teeth on the edge of a breaking day Neon morning Neon morning Shining through And I’m happier than I was before Oh, I could have sworn it I’ll shine sometime If I ever get round to it I’ve seen all the ghosts And I’ve seen myself among them I’ve seen all the ghosts And I’ve seen myself among them I’ve seen all the ghosts And I’ve seen myself among them I’ve seen all the ghosts And I’ve seen myself among them (Seen myself among them) We’ve seen all of you among them We’ve seen all of you among them We’ve seen all of you among them We’ve seen all of you among them I’ve seen my mother I’ve seen my sister I’ve seen my friends And everyone I’ve ever known We’re dead We’re dead We’re dead We’re dead We are the post- We are those that came after There are those who came before And I miss them terribly We are the ghosts And there’s nothing extraordinary about this There were those that came before And I miss them terribly I miss my mother I miss my sister I miss my friends And everyone I’ve ever known We are the post-

Fall to my death in this conversation I’m never coming round again Because I know what you want from me I know what you want from me Get a real job Get a god Get a nice boy to marry you Oh yeah, I know what you want from me Watch my friends getting married don’t worry I’ll MC your wedding And then I’ll sit down again We can all pretend that these men aren’t trying to kill us They’re trying to kill us Pretend that my love looks just like the other ones Just like the boys and the girls on the TV That I’m free to kiss in the street In the rain In the dark While the taxi waits for me My friends they talk to one another ‘Bout how I go from lover to lover Because we all saw the look of our mothers’ When we told them we’d never be marrying boys Now we’re waiting for the same look to cross the face of the girls that we hold in the nighttime And we try but we never connect We never connect We never connect We never connect We I know what you want from me I know what you want from me I know what you want from me I know what you want from me I know what you want from me I know what you want from me (I know what you want from me) Watch my friends getting married don’t worry I’ll MC your wedding And then I’ll sit down again We can all pretend that these men aren’t trying to kill us They’re trying to kill us Pretend that my love looks just like the other one Just like the other one Just like the other one What’s it like to kiss in the street In the rain In the dark While the taxi waits My friends they talk to one another ‘Bout how I go from lover to lover Because we all saw the look of our mothers’ When we told them we’d never be marrying boys We’ll never be marrying boys We’ll never be marrying boys We’ll never be marrying boys But I don’t behave myself I won’t behave myself I won’t behave myself I won’t behave myself And I won’t hate myself I won’t hate myself I won’t hate myself I won’t hate myself

Super Flower Death Scene 03:39

The sky hangs heavy in blue I’m thinking of you And things are changing all the time I swear I’m fine I think I’m fine And, oh my god It would be easier to die and go to heaven Than to figure out When I was seventeen That it’s all up to me No help from a heavy blue sky It’s easier to die and go to heaven Than to try and make sense of this We’re swapping papers In a back room somewhere Working nights for fifteen years To pay my way Out of the fear That I’ll die with nothing that I wanted Never seen Never been Never known the way it feels to be at peace I’ll be running my whole life To a super flower death scene Oh my god, if only you exist Then maybe I could Resist my inclination towards nihilism and depression When in fact I am happier today than I was when I was seventeen Never seen Never been Never known Things are changing all the time Super Flower Death Scene You feel like a bad dream They will never stop clapping for me Just applause on the applause you see Super Flower Death Scene Curtain up and I’m down on my knees You don’t need to remember me As long as you’re keeping your end of the deal And call for an encore I’m just a super flower death scene You are a super flower death scene It’s just a super flower death scene You are a super flower death scene And one day they’ll think of me For the last time One day they’ll speak my name for the last time And I will cease and desist Cease to exist A quick little flash in the big dark A duller spark than I was ever meant to be Just a super flower death scene A super flower death scene

You got the fight in the your fists now Baby, it’s time You got that solid gold alibi And riot eyes You’re moving forward Always forward But, you’re back in time You’re always coming and gone Leaving your lovers with a retina burn Something they earned Just by looking at you You pull the long thread Stringing them on But, you’re gone just like the last time The last time you were held for real You burned your skin like a demon in a church And you’re holy in the neon light You’re wanted by the lonely, lonely, holy ones Watching at the windows in the dark With their neon hearts Summoning their confidence and seances in the dark So they can try and find the writers of their epitaph What a eulogy this would be When the gods are you And the gods are me Me Me Me There is no morning it’s just one long night (With the lights up high) There is no morning it’s just one long night And I hope the red lights don’t stop at your window I hope the red lights don’t stop at your house This house This place you call home Is all you have Maybe we’ll sleep tonight Maybe we’ll sleep tonight Maybe we’ll sleep tonight Maybe we’ll sleep tonight Maybe we’ll sleep tonight Maybe we’ll sleep tonight Maybe we’ll sleep tonight Maybe we’ll sleep tonight You’re wanted by the lonely, lonely, holy ones Watching at the windows in the dark With their neon hearts With their neon hearts
