"Vampire Empire" lyrics
"Vampire Empire"
(originally by Big Thief)
Watching TV tired, bleeding on the bed
The milk has just expired, all the leaves are dead
I'm not quiet, you've been quiet, just receiving what you said
Reeling, feeding, feeling filled by everything you fed
I see you as you see yourself, through all the books you read
Overwhelmed with guilt and realizing the disease
You give me chills
I've had it with the drills
I am nothing, you are nothing, we are nothing with the pills
I am empty till she fills
Alive until she kills
In her vampire empire, I'm the fish and she's my gills
Falling, yeah
Falling, yeah
I see you there rejecting all your earthly power
Protecting and dissecting till you've emptied every hour
We jump into the pond, then we come under the shower
You lay upon my pillow and you open like a flower
I wanted to see you naked, I wanted to hear you scream
I wanted to kiss your skin and your everything
I wanted to be your woman and I wanted to be your man
I wanted to be the one that you could understand
You give me chills
I've had it with the drills
I am nothing, you are nothing, we are nothing with the pills
I am empty till she fills
Alive until she kills
In her vampire empire, I'm the fish and she's my gills
Falling, yeah
Falling, yeah
Well, I walked into your dagger for the last time in a row
It's like trying to start a fire with matches in the snow
You can't seem to hold me here, can't seem to let me go
So I can't find surrender, can't seem to keep control
You turn me inside out and then you want the outside in
You spin me all around and then you ask me not to spin
You say you wanna be alone and then you want children
You wanna be with me but then you wanna be with him
You give me chills
I've had it with the drills
I am nothing, you are nothing, we are nothing with the pills
I am empty till she fills
Alive until she kills
In her vampire empire, I'm the fish and she's my gills
Falling, yeah
Falling, yeah

Christian Lee Hutson - "Unforgivable" The fall was pretty nasty
On that, we can agree
But they're never really clean
Sometimes neither is the break
And by the time I left you
The room looked like a bruise
A curtain breach let pink and...
Angel Olsen - "Chance" What is it you think I need?
Maybe it's too hard to see
I don't want it all
I've had enough
I don't want it all
I've had a love
Worst feeling I've ever had is gone
It's gone
I know how it all comes...
Field Medic - "mood ring baby" So you wanna get close?
If you were the artist and not the muse
You'd be lonely like me too
But you're the beautiful girl uninhibited

I finally found the time to write you this letter
To the stars and moon for you

Can't...
Fleet Foxes - "Wading In Waist-High Water" Summer all over
Blame it on timing
Weakening August water
Loose-eyed in morning
Sunlight covered over
Wading in sight of fire
And we're finally aligning
More than maybe I can choose
Soon as I knew...
