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)

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

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

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

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
