Charlotte Martin Album

The clues to you and I are sprawling out like roads
And if we find a place for them they won't lead home
I only meant to say it once but it's too late
I'm into you and out again

The rotted love manipulates me
The rotted love that twists the fates seem
A bit confused by my reflection
'Cause if we die there's still direction and

I I you we're not thinking my stromata
I I you we're not thinking my stromata

If I can think on purpose then you'll be right here
A paranoia got the best of what I hold dear
The cold linoleum is talking up my shoes
Deciphering the truth of us

And now I know what I'm about to lose
Now I know what I'm about to choose
Now we go for some reaction
A little game of who's distracted more and

I I you we're not thinking my stromata
I I you we're not thinking my stromata
I I you we're not thinking my stromata

And see the disappointments walking in their line
But every step they take is perfectly in time
I'm singing you in every breath I'm left to heave
I feel your arms surrounding me

And when I'm in a dirty river
And my receiver meets her giver
I set a trap to come and catch you
Oh someone stop me now I can't do this

I I you we're not thinking my stromata
I I you we're not thinking my stromata
I I you we're not thinking my stromata
I I you we're not thinking my stromata
I I we're not thinking my stromata
I I we're not thinking my stromata
I I we're not thinking my stromata
I I we're not thinking my stromata

Big sigh on my my a mountain lion, hello
Oxygen or baby this one's gonna blow
And we go up, down, up
And we go up and down again
Then we go down, up, down, up
We go down and up again-gain-gain

Three seeds cheap of turning torture into love
I wise up but it's not me you're thinking of
Gonna hold out on me
Gonna go out on her again
And you go frown for sure
And we're real proud you know

And it's the same sad love song
And then it's all right, all wrong
And then we're too weak, too strong
To cut the cord

Stronghold you told me that you weren't into storms
How the sky breaks into what we should have formed
But we are no cloud, no sun
And we're no rainbow that's sure
And we're no street, no heat
Just a vapor in the fog

And it's the same sad love song
And then it's all right, all wrong
And then we're too weak, too strong
To cut the cord
To cut the cord

Just enough to satisfy me
Just enough to gratify me
Just enough to blaze your fire through my desert
Just enough to satisfy me
Just enough to gratify me
Just enough to blaze your fire through my desert

Open books aren't really books without the words
Love's not love if it's not painfully absurd
And then we're hot and cold
And then we're hot and cold again
And then we're shy and bold
And this is crazier as friends

It's the same sad love song
And then it's all right, all wrong
And then we're too weak, too strong

And it's the same sad love song
And then it's all right, all wrong
And then we're too weak, too strong
To cut the cord
To cut the cord
To cut the cord
To cut the cord

Jawbone clenched
A little drip drip drench
Some more attention, honey
Put your hand on my hand
Left to the clover
And I can't roll over
'Cause you do it so
You do it so well

I'll feel the anointing coming over me
And the thickness of it running down to my feet
You're seeing in the future
Here without the sutures
Oh you say it now
And say it real well

That you can't start letting me
Can't start feeling me slide
Oh you can't start letting me
Can't start feeling me slide

No more labor, I must sit and savor
In the knots you're putting inside my stomach
Need more water if this gets much hotter
Oh you me so
You see me too well

My imagination
Of your fascination
That I swore existed in a new dimension
Come a little closer to the engine motor
I could love you so
I love you so well

But you can't start letting me
Can't start feeling me slide
Oh you can't start letting me
Can't start feeling me slide
Oh you can't start letting me
Can't start feeling me
Can't start watching me roll on by
Oh you can't start letting me
Can't start feeling

I'd really like to understand this
Pedestal that's blowing my mind this
Try, might be the last one landing boy

Tumbling down with you on the ground
Can't train myself to hold back any longer
Breath mint fornicator
I can bear it
If you do her now
Just do her real well

There's enough provision here to fix my vision
I swear I think I have a superpower
Mathematician
Wants a nice physician
But you told her off
I'll tell her off well

That you can't start letting me
Can't start feeling me slide
Oh you can't start letting me
Can't start feeling me slide
Oh you can't start letting me
Can't start feeling me
Can't start watching me roll on by
Oh you can't start letting me
Can't start feeling me slide

Don't know exactly where I'm aiming
Is this the end and the beginning
I've gone too far
You've gone too far

Confide your hand insides familiar
You'll say forever 'til it kills her
Maybe this time
It's not goodbye
But it's not right
Suck off my light

Baby please don't lose
Hope for me don't choose
Over these half-truths
Or our little universe
Over our little universe

Don't think your actions go unnoticed
Maybe I've been too optimistic
Don't beg, believe
What I can't see
What you won't see
Is all that's real

Baby please don't lose
Hope for me don't choose
Over these half-truths
Or our little universe
Over our little universe

Don't know exactly where I'm aiming for
Is this the end and the beginning

Baby please don't lose
Hope for me don't choose
Over these half-truths

Baby please don't lose
Hope for me don't choose
Over these half-truths
Or our little universe
Over our little universe
Over our little universe
Over our little universe

I've got quite a mouthful going here
Maybe I should spit it in your face
I been back and forth and up and down again
Maybe you should stay below the waist

You said nothing's to negotiate
But you could still appreciate my point
I'm rolling up beginnings
And you've been smoking up the ends 'til you explode
Come on now, explode

Why can't we keep this civilized?
Why can't the girl just shut her mouth?
Expose the nature of this crime
In digging up our ground
Why can't we keep this civilized?
You'll pick a fight with anyone
Not saying you deserve to die
Just saying you deserve yourself

Put your claws around me baby
And squeeze a little harder with your arms
When I met you I was weaker
And I'm coming out a man, set your alarm

Don't worry about your reputation
I won't say a word - except right now
Emotional, emotional
Well you got some devotional for pain
And me

Why can't we keep this civilized?
Why can't the girl just shut her mouth?
Expose the nature of this crime
In digging up our ground
Why can't we keep this civilized?
You'll pick a fight with anyone
Not saying you deserve to die
Just saying you deserve yourself

Can't we keep this civilized?
Can't the girl just shut her mouth?
Not saying you deserve to die
Just saying you deserve yourself

Can't we keep this civilized?
Can't the girl just shut her mouth?
Not saying you deserve to die
Just saying you deserve yourself

Can't we keep this civilized?
Can't the girl just shut her mouth?
Not saying you deserve to die
Just saying you deserve yourself

[No lyrics]

So far from you; other side of the wall
There's a bottomless cry that is spinning
Interdimensional, hidden inside
Of these lights which I seem to be missing

Marching ahead to silent beats
Bumping into these dead machines
You can hear everything with me
You can win everyone but me

Gonna feel my way around you
And then you're gonna get down on your knees
And grow accustomed to the darkness
And see what you're supposed to see
Head up straight
I know what I'm doing
Head up straight
I know what I'm doing
I don't

Don't think I'll talk
Yeah I don't think I'll breathe
And I don't think I'll think
What you're thinking

All that I know of us is what was there
In the longest of stares we were sinking
Ashes to beauty; rust in lust
Passion attempts; misguided trust
Smoking your bag of trickery
Getting to love the little beast

Gonna feel my way around you
And then you're gonna get down on your knees
And grow accustomed to the darkness
And see what you're supposed to see
Head up straight
I know what I'm doing
Head up straight
I know what I'm doing
I don't

In this wading pool
In this waiting room
I elevate us down

In a neglected olive tree
Here is the part you reach for me
Say that you have no need of this
Say it again
Say it again
Say it again
Again again again

Gonna feel my way around you
And then you're gonna get down on your knees
And grow accustomed to the darkness
And see what you're supposed to see
Head up straight
I know what I'm doing
Head up straight
I know what I'm doing

Gonna feel my way around you
And then you're gonna get down on your knees
And grow accustomed to the darkness
And see what you're supposed to see
Head up straight
I know what I'm doing
Head up straight
I know what I'm doing

Gonna feel my way around you
And then you're gonna get down on your knees
And grow accustomed to the darkness
And see what you're supposed to see
Head up straight
I know what I'm doing
Head up straight
I know what I'm doing

I keep you down inside my heart
We watch the whole world fall apart
And melt into an ether sea

You failed to take me by the hand
I failed to make you understand
That all I wanted was your hands
On me

I'm captured in your eye
Am I an inch away from heaven?
And there's too many sad goodbyes
Am I an inch away from heaven?
And just a little higher now
Am I an inch away from heaven?
Am I an inch away from heaven?

The walls have ears
The stones have names
We gave in all our silly games
I knew I'd never let you go

And there is no one I can blame
Because your heart remained the same
I swear I'll never let you go

I'm captured in your eye
Am I an inch away from heaven?
And there's too many sad goodbyes
Am I an inch away from heaven?
And just a little higher now
'Cause every day I die for this
Am I an inch away from heaven?

Am I to be tortured
And not be the victim
All twisted up by my own pride
Am I to be stranded
Just waving my arms in the air
While you're trying to lie

I'm captured in your eye
Am I an inch away from heaven?
And there's too many sad goodbyes
Am I an inch away from heaven?
And just a little higher now
'Cause we're so close and far from this
Am I an inch away from heaven?

Sharp move.
It's funny how the intuition stabs you
I'm headfirst diving off the plank
Good Morning.
I'm green and mean and have a thousand eyes.

One small
Thin line is easy to erase all.
Crossing over Jordan with the
Lights off.
Better lock the door and not think twice.

Push me deep into your English Channel.
Your palm sweat- it isn't all that I can handle.
I love you, it is an understatement-natural.
Please babeee, keep keep me in your pocket.

All bets off
You kept your bitches in my
Sweet spot
And I got dibs and stitches
So I feel hot
You burn those hallmark cards but
Keep my words

I want wanna be your cigarette
I want wanna be your black jack best
I want wanna be that sweater
It won't make this seem much better

Sink your
Teeth into the taste of me and
Squeeze hard
Till we can feel me splitting and you
Want more
And I want more you know I want it more.

Push me deep into your English channel
Your palm sweat-it isn't all that I can handle
I love you. We have an understanding-natural.
Please baby keep me in your pocket

I want wanna be your cigarette
I want wanna be your blackjack best
I want wanna be that sweater

Pills that make you think that you are happy
Pills that make you think that you are sad
Pills that make you love most anybody
Pills that make you altogether mad

Pills that make you feel a little sleepy
Pills that make you stay up way too late
Pills that make your skin feel kinda creepy
Pills that make your brain hallucinate

Ba ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba da da
Ba ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba da da

Pills that make the boys a little frisky
Pills that help the girls fight PMS
Pills that make your conversation risky
Pills that help you straighten out the mess

Ba ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba da da
Ba ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba da da

Pills to calm your nerves when on an airplane
Pills to make your acne start to fade
Pills to make you rid yourself of water
Pills that cause your body to retain

Pills that make you think that you're a rockstar
Pills that make you feel a bit insane
Pills that make you think you're in a movie
Pills that make you stand in front of trains

Ba ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba da da
Ba ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba da da
Ba ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba da da
Ba ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba da da

Ladders made of cardboard
That I try to climb
Up a slippery mountain
With no other side

So what about this mountain
Is it really there?
Or am I just seeing things?
There's nothing there

So tell me
What good will it be for a woman
To gain the whole world
And lose her soul

And all the caterpillars
In their hurried piles
Wanna make a million (gonna make it)
They'll have to leave behind in dust

'Cause all our days are numbered
Round and round we go
In our own agendas
Not recognizing gold

So tell me
What good will it be for a man
To gain the whole world
So tell me
What good will it be for a woman
To gain the whole world
And lose her soul

I can't keep turning my back on
I can't keep turning my back on
The horizon
I can't keep turning my back on (the horizon)
I can't keep turning my back on
The horizon
I can't keep turning my back on (the horizon)
I can't keep turning my back on

Surrender
Surrender
Surrender
Surrender
Surrender

In the crooked tunnels
Hallways closing in
Remember where you're going
Remember where you've been

(Remember that I love you
Remember that I love you
Remember that I love you)

I'll tell you
What good could it be for a woman
To gain the whole world
Tell me
What good will it be for a man
To gain the whole world
And lose his soul

[No lyrics]

Every tree has got her root and every girl forbidden fruit
As well as demons..
And the path I chose to go, a different girl so long ago,
Well I had my reasons..
And she's in my head so loud and screaming
“should you be proud of what you came from”?
“you've been crippled and you've walked and you've been shut up and you've
talked so let's talk some more”..

Where is the hand for me to reach?
Where is the moral I'll never teach myself?
In all the black, in all the grief, I am redeemed…

And it's ripping at my heart cause I've been dodging all these darts
And on a slow train
And I wear it till it tatters and it shatters on the floor
In instant replay
Well we're all rotten and we're pure and we're just looking for a cure that
feels like spring snow
And what we have is what we are and where we've been got us this far so let me
go…

Where is the hand for me to reach?
Where is the moral I'll never teach myself?
In all the black, in all the grief, I am redeemed…

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yah yah yah yah yah yah yah yah yah yah
Oh ho oh ho oh ho …2x

Where is the hand for me to reach?
Where is the moral I'll never teach myself?
In all the black, in all the grief, through all the pain
And unbelief- these are the words that they all scream..
