"Faustian Deal" lyrics
"Faustian Deal"
Like a forest of flames
Like our fiery someday
What would it be to hold the world apart?
Would it be another fable with another plot?
Did you wanna be with an edge apart
Dreaming of the day when your mind goes "wah"?
Did you wanna be like a Minerva
Dreaming of a knife, waking with a scar?
Drum, drum, what will I do?
I'm nowhere where I wanna be when I wanna go with you
Down the dawn, the dawn, the dawn
I am, I fall
I am, I fall with your hands in mine
Like what my lips never say
A Faustian deal is a housebreak
What would it be to reach beyond the mind?
With no false or true to define?
Poor world, cruel world
Did you wanna be with an edge apart
Dreaming of the day when your mind goes "wah"?
Did you wanna be like Minerva
Dreaming of a knife, waking with a scar?
Drum, drum, what will I do
I'm nowhere where I wanna be when I wanna go with you
Open the door, the door, the door
I am, I fall
I am, I fall with your hands in mine

Anna Calvi - "Strange Weather" She'll take you back, don't make believe
You wanna think it through

I know that yours was true
Wake up slowly, there are blue skies
Cutting white lines in black...
Skott - "Wolf" I like the sound of your heartbeat
Your pulse is pushing against me
I'm good when you are around
You keep me warm in your bloodstream
You keep me calm when you breathe in
Now I don't know what I've...
PJ Harvey - "When Under Ether" The ceiling is moving
Moving in time
Like a conveyor belt
Above my eyes
When under ether
The mind comes alive
But conscious of nothing
But the will to survive
I lay on the bed
Waist down...
Fink - "Looking Too Closely" This is a song about somebody else
So, don't worry yourself, worry yourself
The devil's right there, right there in the details
And you don't wanna hurt yourself, hurt yourself
By looking too...
Ben Howard - "Black Flies" Black flies on the windowsill
That we are
That we are
That we are to know
Winter stole summer's thrill
And the river's cracked and cold
See the sky is no man's land
A darkened plume to stay
Hope...
