My Villian Heart

Cant put this off forever,
I’ve got to tell you some time.
But when I try and say it,
My mouth just gives up and dies.

I lose my meaning when I get this feeling.

Last night I nearly died,
But I woke up just in time.
Last night I nearly died,
But I woke up just in time.

I’m not who you think I am,
I slipped a stranger inside.
It helps the nights go quicker,
But I diminish each time.

And in the morning I shake the warning.

Last night I nearly died,
But I woke up just in time.
Last night I nearly died,
But I woke up just in time.

I get this feeling
I got this feeling
I woke up
I woke up
I’m gonna wake up
Gonna wake up

I lose my meaning when I get this feeling

Oh, last night I nearly died,
But I woke up just in time.
Last night I nearly died,
But I woke up just in time.

Last night I nearly died
Last night I nearly died
Last night I nearly died

I got soul by the Connswater River
Punched a hole in the guilty sky
Lost control by the Connswater River
Pretty graveyard eyes

I was lost like a stone in the water
I was lost but I was scared to go
And for a beat I am gripped by a vision
Allow myself to hope

Some things make your soul feel clean
Clean, clean
Some things make your soul feel clean
Clean, clean

Down deep I know
Down deep I know
Down deep I know
Down deep I know

I’m a fool and I’m filled up with sadness
Fallen through like a paper town
I’m as cruel as this Connswater winter
So lay this villain down

Some things make your soul feel clean
Clean, clean
Some things make your soul feel clean
Clean, clean

Down deep I know
Down deep I know
Down deep I know
Down deep I know
Down deep I know
Down deep I know
Down deep I know

As the moon draws waves in
I am drawn beside you
It’s not that I’m dependent
I’m just learning to love you

You call me from your deep soul
It’s deeper than the ocean
It’s not that I’m dependent
I’m just learning to love you

There’s no excuses I can see
But love is hard to do
I’ve read a book or two
But our story works as long as you
Don’t settle for the best
Choose me above the rest
But I want you to be sure about it

So as the mood draws waves in
I draw you beside me
I don’t mean to annoy you
I’m just learning to love you

There’s no excuses I can see
But love is hard to do
I’ve read a book or two
But our story works as long as you
Don’t settle for the best
Choose me above the rest
But I want you to be sure about it

I’m just learning to love you
I’m just learning to love you

Wake up Scarlett
It’s been a long night and a high price
It’s up, I’m done
See your soul sway in the daylight

Did I steal your sense of wonder,
Innocence and sight?
I’m strung up like a highwayman
Who didn’t get it right

I feel like I’m falling down
I feel like I’m falling down
I’m cold as the coldest ground

Stand up Scarlett
Seal this bad scene with the ocean
Burn up, return
And I’ll build with you a dwelling
And the sadness will be healing

Tripping through the birdsong
Just as guilty as a gun
Dropping like a suicidal
Planet in the sun

I feel like I’m falling down
I feel like I’m falling down
I’m hard as the hardest ground

You kiss me with little wings
I love your skin on my skin
Lying like water still and blue
Lamplight and juniper-new

You whisper “Be honest to me
Do I drag you down by the heels?
You are a danger how you strain
Leaving me alone and in flames”

But you don’t slow me down
You don’t slow me down

Everything’s nothing to me
This tremolo starlight, I see
Thoughts like cathedrals cold and dark
I just cling to you like I’m drunk

But you don’t slow me down
You don’t slow me down

She opened up herself tonight
Like a sacred heart or a code that cracked
She opened up herself

He gave himself away tonight
Like a secret spilled, a confessional
He gave himself away

They came down with tears
And in the morning it was over
Love is just a scar upon a scar upon a scar

She just hurt like hell
But in her heart she knew she loved him
He could not pretend
He didn’t wish it hadn’t happened

They try to work it out tonight
Try to ease the pain and just start again
They try to work it out
