Mind games mind games mind games Mind games mind games Mind games mind games mind games Mind games mind games I was once naïve You could practically see through my skin So eager to please Easily I let them in Them who like control Them who like to reel you in Falling for their charms They saw an easy victim Been burned a few times Now I’m older wiser how Did I ever fall for that I’d never take it now You come along try to Entice me with your games I tell you I Don’t wanna play I don’t play mind games I’m not a stupid fool I will not fall for All of your silly rules I don’t play mind games I’ve got a healthy fear I see the signals I’m getting out of here Mind games mind games mind games Mind games mind games Mind games mind games mind games Mind games mind games Oh it might be nice To let you sweep me off my feet But I know your type You’ll want to keep me on my knees See it in your eyes Your arrogance beyond belief Don’t give me no dice This game has odds no one can beat I know you think no girl is Immune to your charms But I’d rather **mm** myself Than end up in your arms I know you’ll never change The way that you behave That’s not a game I wanna play I don’t play mind games I’m not a stupid fool I will not fall for All of your silly rules I don’t play mind games I’ve got a healthy fear I see the signals I’m getting out of here I am not nineteen no more I am not naïve no more If that’s what you’re looking for Then go ahead and find another Pretty girl who wants to play your Mind games I’m not a stupid fool I will not fall for All of your silly rules I don’t play mind games (mind games) I’ve got a healthy fear (a fear) I see the signals (signals) I’m getting out of here Mind games mind games mind games (Mind games) Mind games mind games (no fool) Mind games mind games mind games (fall for) Mind games mind games (your rules) (I’m getting out of here) Mind games mind games mind games (a fear) Mind games mind games (signals) Mind games mind games mind games (no I don’t play mind games) Mind games mind games

Hallucinations (feat. Ssaule) 03:27

Late at night when you’re asleep You’re wide awake in my imagination You should win an Oscar for The role you play in my hallucinations Quicken my breath Soften my knees Wetting my tongue in anticipation All I can do is Make believe Overwhelmed by physical sensation I know that it’s all in my head These hallucinations You bring out this side of me That’s so impatient These nights I get so little sleep Awake with expectation You’ve got me on my knees With your temptation Your eyes Your touch That’s one powerful drug It’s giving me hallucinations Your love Your eyes Your touch That’s one powerful drug It’s giving me hallucinations Your love I walk the walk A lonely mile Talking to myself I’m better off on my own But something deep inside Will make me crawl back I know A sucker for a trip Your touch and smell Complete capitulation I’ll get back on my knees It will only take a notification I know that it’s all in my head These hallucinations You bring out this side of me That’s so impatient These nights I get so little sleep Awake with expectation You’ve got me on my knees With your temptation Your eyes Your touch That’s one powerful drug It’s giving me hallucinations Your love Your eyes Your touch That’s one powerful drug It’s giving me hallucinations Your love I think that you are real But you’re just in my head A face and a name I hallucinate the rest We only see What we think we see We co-create reality I’ve got a prior of who I think that you will be A Bayesian inference Fantasy Markov chain Decision tree I make believe who you could be to me Your eyes Your touch One powerful drug Your eyes Your touch Your eyes Your touch Your eyes Your touch One powerful drug Your eyes Your touch Your eyes Your touch It’s giving me hallucinations Your love It’s giving me hallucinations Your love

Colours 03:24

It’s gotten to the point Where I’m so low I don’t know where I’m gonna go Gotten to the point Where I’m so high I think I might Have learnt to fly Riding all these waves Of blue and red Orange purple In my head Feet are skipping through A yellow day But you know dark blue Is on its way It’s always been like this These intense and violent gifts I’m wearing black but don’t you know My mind is fucking colourful Psychedelics in my head Ultraviolet infrared Everywhere I go can’t help but see Colours light inside of me I create colours Of my own I create colours It’s all I know, oh I create colours Of my own I create colours It’s all I know, oh Now the sadness blooms Like violet flowers I think of death For hours and hours Then the joy arrives Like yellow bees Beauty is the pollen in the Things I see My mind like a lantern Seems to lead Me down a path Of ecstasy Then like a storm Releases rain My skin a thousand Points of pain It’s always been like this These intense and violent gifts I’m wearing black but don’t you know My mind is fucking colourful Psychedelics in my head Ultraviolet infrared Everywhere I go can’t help but see Colours light inside of me I create colours Of my own I create colours It’s all I know, oh I create colours Of my own I create colours It’s all I know, oh I create colours Of my own I create colours It’s all I know, oh I create colours Of my own I create colours It’s all I know, oh

Anyway 03:03
lyrics

Love’s a form of madness Of suspended disbelief Run into the darkness Blindfolded in bare feet But you and me have something That is different than before A searing honesty A tolerance for storms Got no reason to believe Everything around us burns Who’s to say that we won’t do the same Somehow this is gonna hurt But imma love you anyway Imma love you anyway Imma love you anyway Imma love you anyway And now you are running From the madness that we made You think that it’s not worth it To love me in this way I thought that you were different I believed the things you said I know that you don’t care for me At least I tried my best There were signs that I should have seen That this was gonna burn Somehow I knew that you would walk away Knew that this was gonna hurt Oh but I loved you anyway Oh I loved you anyway Oh I loved you anyway Oh I loved you anyway Heartbreak is an agony A new spectrum of pain Didn’t know that I could hurt this much How can I trust again? But I won’t let my heart grow Hard within my chest Someday I will heal And then I’ll try again Got no reason to believe Everything inside me burns Who’s to say that I will love again Who’s to say that it won’t hurt But I will love anyway I will love anyway I will love anyway I will love anyway I will love anyway

Hurricane 04:31
lyrics

I chased it Looked for it everywhere Bought new clothes I died my hair But it faded I wanted The taste of something sweet I thought it would make me complete But it wasted Only want the nice things I just to want feel good I don’t want no shouldn’t or no should Tell me how’s that coming? How’s it working out for you? You’d think by now you might have understood That you’re lost in a hurricane Chasing desires Running away from the pain Trying to line up Dominoes in a hurricane See them all fall But you just do it again Living in a hurricane I craved it Wanted to be admired So I moulded to their desires But I was hated I waited Til I had the perfect crown To parade in my beautiful gown But I was naked Only want the nice things I just to want feel good I don’t want no shouldn’t or no should Tell me how’s that coming? How’s it working out for you? You’d think by now you might have understood That you’re lost in a hurricane Chasing desires Running away from the pain Trying to line up Dominoes in a hurricane See them all fall But you just do it again Living in a hurricane Got all your pieces See them all lined in a row Then the wind comes Now the storm starting to blow Watch them all fall I think I see it now though Living in a hurricane
