Burn It Down lyrics - Daughter

Always said I was a good kid
Always said I had a way with words
Never knew I could be speechless
Don't know how I'll ever break this curse

Now the world is only white noise
Frequencies that I can't understand
I can't be bothered with the teachers
Always trying to shape the way I act

Burn it down, burn it down, burn it down, burn it down

I'll set fire to the whole place
I don't even care about our house
It's not the same in here since he left anyways

Burn it down, burn it down, burn it down, burn it down

Always said I was a good kid
Always said I had a way with words
Never knew I could be speechless
Don't know how I'll ever break this curse

Now the world is only white noise
Frequencies that I can't understand
I can't be bothered with the teachers
Always trying to shape the way I act

Burn it down, burn it down, burn it down, burn it down

Momma told me all of this is
Just a place we have to settle for
Less than anything we dream on
We'll continue to be disappointed

I feel down, I feel down, I feel down, I feel down
I feel down, I feel down, I feel down, I feel down

Burn it down, burn it down, burn it down, burn it down
Burn it down, burn it down, burn it down, burn it
Burn it, burn it

Hope lyrics - Daughter

Go back to where you held armour against your skin
Don't sink, just swim towards the storm
And once again you'll be reborn, reborn, reborn

Go back to where I held armour against my skin
Won't sink, I swim towards the storm
And once again I'll be reborn, reborn, reborn

All I Wanted lyrics - Daughter

The virtual is going in the way
Keep it tight so no-one will stray
Staring at a light needless to say
That I will be alright, alright

And your tears sting, friend
You have waited the end out there
Golden hour finding
You stand still, stare at my stupid bedroom

All that I wanted wasn't unwanted
Oh and I wonder why I'm not wanted
All that I wanted was not there
But I dared
Be wanted

Yeah, in a corridor
Yeah, and you call me
Yeah, when I see you
You, you know damn well

Throw back arms I love you
And I won't be bothering with mourning
It's crucial that you see the truth
When looking for yourself I'm useless
Answer
Hey

Yeah, in a corridor
Yeah, and you call me
Yeah, when I see you
You, you know damn well

Dreams Of William lyrics - Daughter

Where will I go?
When the only home I've known is ashes now
How will I know when the only love I'm shown is so changeable?
How do I grow then, when I've been alive for the best part of my life
Feeling alone
Feeling alone with you
Without you
With you
Without
With you
Without you
With
Without you

A Hole In The Earth lyrics - Daughter

In my own turn
I'm trying to reach out I know I'll get there soon
There's a hole in the earth here
And we're walking round the edges
You were flaunting all your open wounds
I can't express them better than you

You have buried childish qualities
Friend make sense of me, friend make sense of me
I have many destructive qualities
Friend make sense of me, friend make sense of me

It's like an old ruin
Your father's a liar while my father's lying down
In a hole in the earth there
And I'm scared I'll forget him
I'm still haunted by those open wounds
I won't express them truly to you

You have buried childish qualities
Friend make sense of me, friend make sense of me
I have many destructive qualities
Friend make sense of me, friend make sense of me

I have so much hurt inside me
Friend make sense of me, friend make sense of me
I have so much hurt inside me
Friend make sense of me, friend make sense of me
Friend, friend, friend, friend

New Ways lyrics - Daughter

Washed out brain
I have a dirty mind
Oh, I need, I need new ways
To waste my time
I need new ways

Washed out brain
I live alone, alone, alone
Washed out face
Keep me inside, I need new ways
To waste my time
I need, I need new ways

I'm trying to get out
Find a subtle way out
Not just cross myself out
Not just disappear

I'm trying to get out
Find a subtle way out
Not just cross myself out
Not just disappear

I've been trying to stay out
But there's something in you
I can't be without
I just need it here

I'm trying to get out
Find a subtle way out
Not to cross myself out
Not to disappear

I've been trying to stay out
But there's something in you
I can't be without
I just need it here

Oh I need
New ways to waste my time
I need new ways
To waste my time
I need new ways
To waste my time


Numbers lyrics - Daughter

Take the worst situations
Make a worse situation
Follow me home, pretend you
Found somebody to mend you

I feel numb
I feel numb in this kingdom
I feel numb
I feel numb in this kingdom

Chemically enlaced faces
Black out nights and tight spaces
We'll feel distant embraces
Scratching hands 'round my waist, yeah
I'll wash my mouth but still taste you

I feel numb
I feel numb in this kingdom
I feel numb
I feel numb in this kingdom
[x2]

You better, you better, you better
You better make me
Me better, me better
You better make me better
[x4]

I feel numb, make me better
I feel numb in this kingdom
I feel numb, make me better
I feel numb in this kingdom


Doing The Right Thing lyrics - Daughter

And they're making children
And they're making love
With their old excuses
We are built for reproduction
But I find it soothing
When I am confined
I'm just fearing one day soon
I'll lose my mind

Then I'll lose my children
Then I'll lose my love
Then I'll sit in silence
Let the pictures soak
Out of televisions
Float across the room
Whisper into one ear
And out the other one

Then I'll take my clothes off
And I'll walk around
Because it's so nice outside
And I like the way the sun feels
And when it's dark
I'll call out in the night for my mother
But she isn't coming back for me
Cause she's already gone
But you will not tell me that
Cause you know it hurts me everytime you say it
And you know you're doing the right thing
You must know you're doing the right thing

I have lost my children
I have lost my love
I just sit in silence
Let the pictures soak
Out of televisions
Out of televisions
Out of televisions
Out of televisions
Out of televisions

And they're making children
Everyone's in love
I just sit in silence
Let the pictures soak

How lyrics - Daughter

Moving on
Is moving in slow motion
To keep the pain to a minimum
Weightless, only wait for a fall

How long must I wait for you
Undone in the evening?
How long must I wait for you
To become what I need?

Holding old souvenirs
His words inked from birthdays
Goodbye to our empty ruins
Yeah, that's when I saw her

Hold me back
Hold me back
All I am
All I am

How long before the last dance?
How come he's the one to let me down?
How come they glow different in the evening?
How come they stare distant into daylight?

Like it's alright
Like it's alright



Mothers lyrics - Daughter

You will grow all you need to grow inside my spine
And then take what you need to take, what's yours is mine
And then just give all you want of it to some new thing
I'll stay here, the provider of that constant sting they call love
They call love

You will drain all you need to drain out of me
All the colors have washed away, no more rosy sheen
Not just a pale isolated shallow water place
Oh what a place I call myself
I call myself

Oh love all you need to love before it goes
When your face becomes a stranger's I don't know
You will never remember who I was to you
Carried in the womb
I'm called mother
I'm called mother
They're called home
They're called home
They're called
They're called
Mothers
Mothers

Give all you need to give
And sometimes they won't take what they need to take
The strangest chemical reaction
Inside of her brain, no she's not the same
No she's not the same
No she's not the same



Alone / With You lyrics - Daughter

[Alone:]

I hate sleeping alone
Terrified with the lights out
I hate living alone
Talking to myself is boring conversation
Me and I are not friends
She is only an acquaintance
I hate dreaming of being alone
Cause you are never there
Just a shadowy figure with a blank face
Kicking me out of his place
I hate walking alone
I should get a dog or something
I hate eating alone
I hate eating alone

[With You:]

I hate sleeping with you
Cause you are never there
Just a shadowy figure with a blank face
Kicking me out of his place
I hate living with you
I should get a dog or something
I hate walking with you
Talking to myself is boring conversation
You and I were once friends
Now you're only an acquaintance

I hate dreaming of being with you
I hate dreaming of being with you
I hate dreaming of being with you
Terrified with the lights out
Terrified with the lights out


No Care lyrics - Daughter

No one asks me for dances because I only know how to flail
I always hit like I'm drowning, dead arms around him
I'd rather stand still, hold tightly to the walls

No care, no care in the world
No care, no care in the world
I don't care, I don't care anymore
I don't care, I don't care

Love you in a panic because I prefer to sit on fences
Spit-kissing on my sickbed
I'm not searching for replacements
But we are like broken instruments
Twisted up and wheezing out the runnels
Sleepless folks watching light grow
Through their early morning windows

I don't care, I don't care anymore
I don't care, I don't care

Oh, I'm too drunk to fight, hurlings curses at your surface
Because I'm aware, because it hurts that I'm in love again
And you have kissed my neck so your arguments are insane
Fighting over the way something was said
Well, I'm still here like a cheap threat

No care, no care in the world
No care, no care in the world
I don't care, I don't care anymore
I don't care, I don't care

Oh, there has only been one time where we fucked
And I felt like a bad memory
Like my spine was a reminder of her
And you said that you felt sick
I was so heavy hearted, lying side-on with you afterwards
How I wanted you to promise we'd only make
How I wanted you to promise we'd only make
How I wanted you to promise we'd only make love
But my mouth felt like I was choking, broken glass
So I just slept it off
You see, my mouth felt like it could talk the end of us
So I just slept it off, slept it off

No care, no care in the world
No care, no care
I don't care, I don't care anymore
I don't care, I don't care

Ah, I'm too drunk to fight
I only wanted you to promise me we would only ever make love
But my mouth felt like I was choking, broken glass
So I just slept it off
Wanted you to promise me we would only ever make
Wanted you to promise me we would only ever make love


To Belong lyrics - Daughter

Don't you think you'll be better off
Without me tied around your neck, it's like the way your
Body pulls me underneath where I can't breathe
I'm tired of talking, I've been screaming all day

Don't you think we'll be better off
Without temptation to regress, to fake tenderness
Waiting to see someone we won't know for long
In cities we'll only leave

Don't you think we'd be better off
Without the pressure to address
A room of faces
Waiting to hear some strange women speak in tongues
On lonely fridays of my loveless drunk, baby
Loveless drunk, baby

I don't want to belong, I don't want to belong
I don't want to belong, to you, to anyone
I don't want to belong, I don't want to belong
I don't want to belong, to you, to anyone
I don't want to belong, I don't want to belong

Don't you think we'd be better off
Without the pressure to address
A room of faces
Waiting to hear some strange women speak in tongues
On lonely fridays of my loveless drunk, baby
Loveless drunk, baby


Fossa lyrics - Daughter

I said too much, said the wrong thing
Remembering the image I was trying to project to you
Cast an illusion, think I'm losing my head
Sometimes I feel
Be what you want, I can be what you want
Be what you want, I can't be what you want
Be what you want, I can be what you want
Be what you want, I can't be what you want

I don't know you now
But I'm lying here, somehow

I feel sick
You're drowning in the pit of my stomach
Oh I know it's my fault
While you're busy diving down I find I feel alone (I feel fine, I feel fine, I feel fine)
Feel a little out of my mind (I feel fine, I feel fine, I feel fine)

Oh I'm stuck, I've said too much
I'm going, mad
Checking checking, waiting waiting
For some kind of response from you
Let me know
I haven't opened up
The floodgates again, to another man
Who controls the pain but never says anything
Anything
Anything

I don't owe you much
But I miss you so
I'll miss him

I feel sick
You're drowning in the pit of my stomach
You don't know that I'm caught
Thinking you remind me of someone I can face no more
I've gotta get him out of my mind

While you're busy diving down
I find I feel alone
I feel alone
I've gotta get him out of mind
While you're busy diving down
I find I feel alone
I feel alone
I feel alone


Made Of Stone lyrics - Daughter

What if I'm made of stone?
Feeling is not a system
Nervous I'm caught in a hold
Hoping I'm over thinking
I should be feeling more
Draped over your bones
Paint colours up the walls
To spread our inspirations
You are the likely cause
Of what will be my demise

Oh it's not surprising
Just inconvenient
To play no part in
All of the instruments
Seem to be sounding out
''It's premature''

I think I'm made of stone
I should be feeling more

Love
It's just face painting
Love
It's just easing the waiting
Before dying without company

I think I'm made of stone
I think we are all
Built out of memory
Built out of scenes
Structures of whispers
Pass through our veins
Laid out on screens
Show our tiny heads
''You'll find love kid, it exists''

The End lyrics - Daughter

This is the end
This is the end

You wait to find that I'm still here
And you've been waiting for the light to shine

Wake up, wake up, wake up
I'll be the answer to the question
I can't answer, it's a question
You can't spit it out, can we find
We find, we find a way out, a way out

It's easier to understand
We die, we're buried underground
But I have stayed awake since then
You tried to find a new best friend

You instigate, come after chasing
Oh, what the hell should I say, then?
I've missed you
Let's spend the future talking about the past
How you said goodbye
How I fucked your mind up

We really are something else
Let's say you were sent here
Just to keep me in check
My pulse is quick, my neck is stretched
Cruel lover says I need to just
Get over it, get over him
Get over myself

They say there's something in our sky
We should pay attention
I don't care to realize
I'm too busy moping
They say there's something in our seas
We should all be careful
I'm not swimming anyway
I'm too busy moping
They say there's something in my house
That I should just get out, get out
I don't want to be escaping
No, I'm too busy moping around
I'm too busy moping around
I'm too busy moping around
I'm too busy moping around
I'm too busy moping around

Take a run home, I don't like where you're going
Run home, I don't like the words you're saying
Run home, I don't like where you're going
Run home, I don't like the words you're saying
Take a run home, I don't like where you're going
Run home, I don't like the words you're saying
Run home, I don't like where you're going
Run home, I don't like the words you're saying

Winter lyrics - Daughter

Drifting apart like two sheets of ice, my love
Frozen hearts growing colder with time
There's no heat from our mouths
Please take me back to when I was yours

When we were in flames,
I needed, I needed you
To run through my veins,
Like disease, disease
And now we are strange.
Strangers

It's different now
Grey-faced
Eyes burnt out
Flames are gone
My gloves are on
I have a feeling
Love's gone mad

We're too similar
Losing our minds
With cabin fever,
Shut in confined spaces
Lost in the dark,
My hand taken
Resting on your heart

When we were in flames, I needed, I needed you
To run through my veins, like disease, disease
And now we are strange, strangers

Wait for me to degrade before
You go
Killing prey for
Waste of
Daylight
Speaks when
Slumber's keeping
Under the bed
Out of revenge
I'm derailing
While you've been staining our sheets
With some piece of me
With some piece of me

Oh, winter comes
Oh, winter crush all of the things that I once loved

Winter come
Winter crush all of the things that I once had


Smother lyrics - Daughter

I’m wasted, losing time
I’m a foolish, fragile spine
I want all that is not mine
I want him but we’re not right

In the darkness I will meet my creators
And they will all agree, that I’m a suffocator

I should go now quietly
For my bones have found a place to lie down and sleep
Where all my layers can become reeds
All my limbs can become trees
All my children can become me
What a mess I leave
To follow [4x]

In the darkness I will meet my creators
They will all agree, I’m a suffocator
Suffocator [2x]

Oh no
I’m sorry if I smothered you [2x]
I sometimes wish I’d stayed inside my mother
Never to come out


Youth lyrics - Daughter

Shadows settle on the place, that you left.
Our minds are troubled by the emptiness.
Destroy the middle, it's a waste of time.
From the perfect start to the finish line.

And if you're still breathing, you're the lucky ones.
'Cause most of us are heaving through corrupted lungs.
Setting fire to our insides for fun
Collecting names of the lovers that went wrong
The lovers that went wrong.

We are the reckless,
We are the wild youth
Chasing visions of our futures
One day we'll reveal the truth
That one will die before he gets there.

And if you're still bleeding, you're the lucky ones.
'Cause most of our feelings, they are dead and they are gone.
We're setting fire to our insides for fun.
Collecting pictures from a flood that wrecked our home,
It was a flood that wrecked this home.

And you caused it,
And you caused it,
And you caused it

Well I've lost it all, I'm just a silhouette,
A lifeless face that you'll soon forget,
My eyes are damp from the words you left,
Ringing in my head, when you broke my chest.
Ringing in my head, when you broke my chest.

And if you're in love, then you are the lucky one,
'Cause most of us are bitter over someone.
Setting fire to our insides for fun,
To distract our hearts from ever missing them.
But I'm forever missing him.

And you caused it,
And you caused it,
And you caused it


Still lyrics - Daughter

I'll wrap up my bones
And leave them
Out of this home
Out on the road

Two feet standing on a principle
Two hands longing for each others warmth
Cold smoke seeping out of colder throats
Darkness falling, leaves nowhere to go

It's spiraling down
Biting words like a wolf howling
Hate is spitting out each others mouths
But we're still sleeping like we're lovers

Still with feet touching
Still with eyes meeting
Still our hands match
Still with hearts beating

Still with feet touching
Still with eyes meeting
Still our hands match
Still with hearts beating

Still with feet touching
Still with eyes meeting
Still our hands match
Still with hearts beating

Two feet standing on a principle
Two hands digging in each others wounds
Cold smoke seeping out of colder throats
Darkness falling, leaves nowhere to move

It's spiraling down
Biting words like a wolf howling
Hate is spitting out each others mouths
But we're still sleeping like we're lovers

Still with feet touching
Still with eyes meeting
Still our hands match
Still with hearts beating

Still with feet touching
Still with eyes meeting
Still our hands match
Still with hearts beating

Still with feet touching
Still with eyes meeting
Still our hands match
Still with hearts beating

I'll wrap up my bones
And leave them
Out of this home
Out on the road

Two feet standing on a principle
Two hands longing for each others warmth
Cold smoke seeping out of colder throats
Darkness falling, leaves nowhere to go



Lifeforms lyrics - Daughter

From the beginning
Small lifeforms
They can kill without warning
So you don't explode

Stop you growing limps and thinking
That you love them now you're blinking
And reminding her of him

Oh you steal his features
And your mother is a bleacher
She don't even feel the heat no
She don't even want to speak to you

But you, you always find another place to go
(Oh you) you always find another womb to grow, to grow, to grow

Well you can try to sink down deeply
And find the children lost at sea
Find the children who discretely
Were killed in infancy

To stop them holding you and screaming
That you'll lose your wildest dreaming
Still reminding me what I feel
How he left without reasons

But you, you always find another place to go
(Oh you) you always find another womb to grow, to grow, to grow

You can try to forget me but I won't let you easily
You can try to forget me but I won't let you easily
I'm floating out in the water and washed out to sea
Drifting away this time you'll regret you've conceived it
Clean up the dead you leave behind
Just like insects

Clean up the dead you leave behind


Tomorrow lyrics - Daughter

By tomorrow we'll be swimming with the fishes
Leave our troubles in the sand.
And when the sun comes up,
We'll be nothing but dust,
Just the outlines of our hands

By tomorrow we'll be lost amongst the leaves,
In a wind that chills the skeletons of trees,
And when the moon, it shines, I will leave two lines.
Find my love, then find me.

Don't bring tomorrow
'cause I already know
I'll lose you
Don't bring tomorrow
'cause I already know
I'll lose you
I'll lose you

By tomorrow I'll be left in the darkness,
Amongst your cold sheets.
And your shoes will be gone,
And your body warmth no longer beside me.

But don't bring tomorrow
'cause I already know
I'll lose you
Don't bring tomorrow
'cause I already know
I'll lose
I'll lose
You



Human lyrics - Daughter

Woken up like an animal
Teeth ready for sinking
My mind's lost in bleak visions
I've tried to escape but keep sinking

Limbs lost to a dead weight stake
Skull cage like a prison
And he's lost faith he'll ever see again
So may he once thought of me then

Underneath the skin there's a human
Buried deep within there's a human
And despite everything I'm still human
But I think I'm dying here

Woken up like an animal
I'm all ready for healing
My mind's lost with nightmares streaming
Woken up (kicking screaming)

Take me out of this place I'm in
Break me out of this shell-like case I'm in

Underneath the skin there's a human
Buried deep within there's a human
And despite everything I'm still human

I think that I'm still human [x3]

Underneath the skin there's a human
Buried deep within there's a human
And despite everything I'm still human
But I think I'm dying here



Touch lyrics - Daughter

Love hunt me down
I can't stand to be so dead behind the eyes
And feed me, spark me up
A creature in my blood stream chews me up

So I can feel something
So I can feel something

Give me touch
'Cause I've been missing it
I'm dreaming of
Strangers
Kissing me in the night
Just so I
Just so I

Can feel something [x4]

You steal me away
With your eyes and with your mouth
And just take me back to a room in your house
And stare at me with the lights off

To feel something [x4]

In the night
In the night
In the night
When we touch
In the night
'Cause I've been lusting it





Amsterdam lyrics - Daughter

[Verse:]
Skin off like lightning
Breathing flames from tourist trade
Your eyes go quite frightening
You lock your gaze on to my face

Heavy eyed
Crawling on the roadside
Swinging from the street lights

[Chorus:]
I hope by the morning I will have grown back
By the morning I will have grown back
I'll escape with him
Show him all my skin
Then I'll go
I'll go home
Amsterdam

[Verse:]
I'm a flying kite in the breeze just
Restlessly seeking images a child needs to help them sleep
I've been thinking that I should see someone
Just to find out if I'm alright

[Chorus:]
By the morning I will have grown back
By the morning I will have grown back
I'll escape with him
Show him all my skin
Then I'll go
I'll go home
Amsterdam

[Bridge:]
I used to dream of
Adventure
When I was younger
With lungs miniature
But now we're killing
Our brain cells
Is this called living
Or something else
Or something else

[Outro:]
By the morning I will have grown back
By the morning I will have grown back
By the morning I will have grown back
By the morning I will have grown back


Shallows lyrics - Daughter

Let the water rise
Let the ground crack
Let me fall inside
Lying on my back
Lying on my back

Dry your smoke-stung eyes
So you can see the light
You're staring at the sky
Watching stars collide
Watching stars collide

If you leave
When I go
Find me
In the shallows

When the time comes
On the last day
When they start to come down
Will you just
Will you run away?
Will you run away?

And let it all rain down
From the blood stained clouds
Come out, come out, to the sea my love
And just
Drown with me
Drown with me

If you leave
When I go
Find me
In the shallows

Lying on my back
Watching stars collide

EP: "The Wild Youth" (2011)

Home lyrics - Daughter

I was drunk again, causing accidents.
Oh, you're not a friend,
No, you're nothing.
I think I should be a little more confident.
In myself,
In my skin.

Take me, take me, home, home.
Take me, take me, home, home.

'Cause I don't stand a chance in these four walls.
And he don't recognize me anymore.
Burned out flames should never re-ignite.
But I thought you might...

Take me, take me, home, home.
Take me, take me, home, home.

Now he's moving close,
My heart in my throat.
I won't say a word,
But I think he knows...
That I've hardly slept,
Since the night he left.
His body always kept,
Mine inside of it.
Keep the nightmares out,
Give me mouth to mouth.
I can't live without ya,
Take me to your house.

Take me, take me, home, home.
Take me, take me, home. (Take, take, take, take...)
Take me, take me, home. (Me, me, me, me...)
Take me, take me, home. (Home, home, home...)

But I thought you might...

Take me, take me, home, home.
Take me, take me, home, home.
Home.



Medicine lyrics - Daughter

Pick it up, pick it all up.
And start again.
You've got a second chance,
you could go home.
Escape it all.
It's just irrelevant.

It's just medicine.
It's just medicine.

You could still be,
what you want to,
What you said you were,
when I met you.

You've got a warm heart,
you've got a beautiful brain.
But it's disintegrating,
from all the medicine.
from all the medicine.
from all the medicine.
Medicine.

You could still be,
what you want to be,
What you said you were,
when you met me.

You could still be,
what you want to.
What you said you were,
when I met you.
when you met me.
when I met you.

Ooooooooo...
Ooooooooo...

Youth lyrics - Daughter

Shadows settle on the place, that you left.
Our minds are troubled by the emptiness.
Destroy the middle, it's a waste of time.
From the perfect start to the finish line.

And if you're still breathing, you're the lucky ones.
'Cause most of us are heaving through corrupted lungs.
Setting fire to our insides for fun
Collecting names of the lovers that went wrong
The lovers that went wrong.

We are the reckless,
We are the wild youth
Chasing visions of our futures
One day we'll reveal the truth
That one will die before he gets there.

And if you're still bleeding, you're the lucky ones.
'Cause most of our feelings, they are dead and they are gone.
We're setting fire to our insides for fun.
Collecting pictures from a flood that wrecked our home,
It was a flood that wrecked this home.

And you caused it,
And you caused it,
And you caused it

Well I've lost it all, I'm just a silhouette,
A lifeless face that you'll soon forget,
My eyes are damp from the words you left,
Ringing in my head, when you broke my chest.
Ringing in my head, when you broke my chest.

And if you're in love, then you are the lucky one,
'Cause most of us are bitter over someone.
Setting fire to our insides for fun,
To distract our hearts from ever missing them.
But I'm forever missing him.

And you caused it,
And you caused it,
And you caused it


Love lyrics - Daughter

I can't forget it,
Though I've tried
I know you regret it, love,
You told me so many times.

But I still wonder
Why
You left with her
And left me behind

Take your hands off him
'Cause he's the only one that I have ever loved
And please don't find her skin
When you turn the lights out

I can't erase it from my mind
I just replay it, love,
Think of it all of the time.

But I don't want to imagine
Words you spoke to her that night.
Naked bodies look like porcelain,
You both knew I'd be bleeding inside.

Ooh [2x] Ah [5x]

[2x]
Did she make your heart beat faster than I could?
Did she give you what you hoped for?
Oh, nights of loveless love, I hope it made you feel good,
Knowing how much I adored you.

You're making me sick, love. [5x]

Landfill lyrics - Daughter

Throw me in a landfill
Don't think about the consequences
Throw me in the dirt pit
Don't think about the choices that you make
Throw me in the water
Don't think about the splash I will create
Leave me at the altar
Knowing all the things you just escaped

Push me out to sea
On a little boat that you made
Out of the evergreen that you helped your father cut away
Leave me on the tracks
To wait until the morning train arrives
Don't you dare look back
Walk away
Catch up with the sunrise

'Cause this is torturous electricity
Between both of us and this is
Dangerous 'cause I want you so much
But I hate your guts
I hate you

So leave me in the cold
Wait until the snow covers me up
So I cannot move
So I'm just embedded in the frost
Then leave me in the rain
Wait until my clothes cling to my frame
Wipe away your tear stains
Thought you said you didn't feel pain

Well this is torturous electricity
Between both of us and this is
Dangerous, 'cause I want you so much
But I hate your guts. I want you so much
But I hate your guts.
Well this is torturous
Electricity between both of us
And this is dangerous 'cause I want you so much
But I hate your guts
I want you so much but I hate your guts



The Woods lyrics - Daughter

I asked Saint Christopher
To find your sister
And she ran out in the woods
And she ran out in the woods

Oh, it was certain then
And we were trying to stop the winter
Killing all it could
Killing all it could

And I pray a lot for you
And I look out for you

We are what we are
Don't need no excuses
For the scars
From our mothers

And we know what we know
'Cause we're made of all the little bones
Of our fathers

And I pray a lot for you
And I look out for you

And I pray a lot for you
And I look out for you

I asked Saint Christopher
To find your sister
She ran out in the woods
'Cause she ran out in the woods


Candles lyrics - Daughter

That boy, take me away, into the night
Out of the hum of the street lights and into a forest
I'll do whatever you say to me in the dark
Scared I'll be torn apart by a wolf in mask of a familiar name on a birthday card

Blow out all the candles, blow out all the candles
"You're too old to be so shy," he says to me so I stay the night
Just a young heart confusing my mind, but we're both in silence
Wide-eyed, both in silence
Wide-eyed, like we're in a crime scene

Well I have brittle bones it seems
I bite my tongue and I torch my dreams
Have a little voice to speak with
And a mind of thoughts and secrecy
Things cannot be reversed, we learn from the times we are cursed
Things cannot be reversed, learn from the ones we fear the worst
And learn from the ones we hate the most how to

Blow out all the candles, blow out all the candles
"You're too old to be so shy," he says to me so I stay the night
Just a young heart confusing my mind, but we're both in silence
Wide-eyed, both in silence
Wide-eyed

Cause we both know I'll never be your lover
I only bring the heat
Company under cover
Filling space in your sheets
Well I'll never be a lover
I only bring the heat
Company under cover
Filling space in your sheets, in your sheets

So, please just blow out all the candles, blow out all the candles
"You're too old to be so shy," he says to me so I stay the night
It's just a young heart confusing my mind, but we're both in silence
Wide-eyed, both in silence
Wide-eyed, like we're in a crime scene


Switzerland lyrics - Daughter

Ooh, ohh..

And I.. [x3]

And I, and you..

And you, let it go..

And I, let it go..

Blue And Grey lyrics - Daughter

One day there was a girl who cried tears of pearls
and her eyes were blue and green like none I've ever seen
And she met a man that night who filled her with delight
and he spoke in poetry and rhyme
and she loved him in no time

But he changed
and then soon he became jealous of her beauty and fame
And he locked her away and he forced her to play
songs that were blue, songs that were grey
Yeah, yeah

So then this lonely girl had, had enough of her world
so she climbed to the top of the tallest tower and stood there for way over an hour
Until she decided she'd jump, so she jumped with a very loud thump
And all of the neighbours, they came out and cried
when they discovered that this poor girl had died
And a boy, he just stood there and gasped at this beauty asleep on the grass
Well, her eyes were like none he had seen
except for the girls in his dreams

Then he changed
and then soon he became depressed and very, very strange
He'd lock himself away for days and days
and play songs that were blue and play songs that were grey
and play songs that reminded him of that day
Yeah, yeah

One day, there was a girl who fell in love with a boy in a different world
and she speaks to him at night, only in a certain light
She wore white when he wore black and they were like a perfect match
And though one was dead and one was alive
Through many years, their love did survive

'Til time faded and soon they became both exactly the same
and they both are floating in the sky singing their own lullaby
of a song of them that reminds them of a past time
a song that reminds them of a past day
a song that is blue and a song that is grey
a song that is blue and a song that is grey
a song that is blue, a song that is grey

In The Shallows lyrics - Daughter

Let the water rise,
Let the ground crack.
Let me fall inside,
lying on my back
lying on my back

Dry your smoke-stung eyes,
so you can see the light.
staring at the sky
watching stars collide
watching stars collide

If you leave,
When I go...
You'll find me,
in the shallows. [x2]

When the time comes,
on the last day...
when they start to come down,
will you just,
will you run away?
will you run away?

Let it all rain down,
from the blood stained clouds.
Come out, come out, to the sea my love...
and just,
drown with me...
drown with me...

If you leave,
When I go...
You'll find me,
in the shallows. [x2]

Lying on my back,
Lying on my back,
watching stars collide.

Perth Vs. Ready For The Floor lyrics - Daughter

(originally by Bon Iver & Hot Chip)

I'm tearing up, across your face
Move dust through the light
To find your name
It's something faint
This is not a place
Not yet awake, I'm raised of make

I'm still alive who you love
I'm still alive who you love

Instead of carving up the walls
Why don't you open up with talk
'Cause we are ready, we are ready for the floor

Instead of carving up the walls
Why don't you open up with talk
'Cause we are ready, we are ready for the floor

Do it, do it, do it now
Say it, say it, say it now

Do it, do it, do it now
Say it, say it, say it now

That you're my number one guy [4x]

I was hoping with chance
You might take this dance

I was hoping with chance
You might take this dance

'Cause I'm still alive who you love
Still alive for you who you love

Do it, do it, do it now
Say it, say it, say it now

Do it, do it, do it now
Say it, say it, say it now

Peter lyrics - Daughter

Peter, can I go back home?
I flew here under false pretense
I thought it would be fun
But the lost boys have all moved away
And one of them is locked up
I know you think you're still a child,
But I couldn't give a fuck; you're twenty-one

Oh, Peter,
I can dream no more
I've been chasing all of yours
I've forgotten what it was that I wanted
That I want

Oh, I won't be your doll
So please don't you ask me to
You see, I don't look so good in yellow
Like other dolls they do

Oh, Peter
I am not naive
I see the way you look at her
You don't do that for me
Oh, it must be love
And we both know it's not with us

Oh, I won't be your doll
So please don't you ask me to
You see, I don't look so good in yellow
Like other dolls they do

Oh, Peter
He walks beside the lake
While I lay beside an empty space
Waiting for the sirens
Just waiting for the sirens

Oh, I won't be your doll
So please don't you ask me to
I won't shut my little painted face
Like all your other dolls, they do
Like all your other dolls, they do
They do

Peter (Live) lyrics - Daughter

Peter, can I go back home?
I flew here under false pretense
I thought it would be fun
But the lost boys have all moved away
And one of them is locked up
I know you think you're still a child,
But I couldn't give a fuck; you're twenty-one

Oh, Peter,
I can dream no more
I've been chasing all of yours
That I've forgotten what it was that I wanted
That I want

No, I won't be your doll
So please don't you ask me to
You see that I don't look so good in yellow
Like other dolls they do
Like other dolls they do

Oh, Peter
I am not naive
I see the way you look at her
You don't do that for me
Oh, it must be love
And we both know it's not with us

No, I won't be your doll
So please don't you ask me to
You see that I don't look so good in yellow
Like other dolls they do
Like other dolls they do

Oh, Peter
He walks beside the lake
While I lay beside an empty space
Waiting for the sirens
Just waiting for the sirens

No, I won't be your doll
So please don't you ask me to
I won't shut my little painted face
Like all your other dolls, they do
Like all your other dolls, they do
They do

Run lyrics - Daughter

While I powder my nose,
He will powder his gums.
And if I try to get close,
He is already gone,
Don't know where he's going,
Don't know where he's been.
But he is restless at night,
'Cause he has horrible dreams.

So we lay in the dark,
We've got nothing to say.
Just the beating of hearts,
Like two drums in the grey.
I don't know what we're doing,
I don't know what we've done.
But the fire is coming,
So I think we should run.

I think we should run, run, run, run...
Run, run, run, run...
Run, run, run, run...
Run, run, run

While I put on my shoes,
He will button his coat,
And we will step outside,
Checking might the coast is clear
On both sides,
'Cause we don't wanna be seen.
Oh, this is suicide...
But you can't see the ropes.

And I won't tell my mother.
It's better she don't know
And he won't tell his folks,
'Cause they're already ghosts.
And we'll just keep each other,
As safe as we can.
Until we reach the border,
Until we make our plan.

To run, run, run, run...
To run, run, run, run...
To run, run, run, run...

Will you stay with me my love
For another day?
'Cause I don't want to be alone,
When I'm in this state.
Will you stay with me my love?
'Til we're old and grey.
'Cause I don't wanna be alone.
When these bones decay...

Run, run, run, run...
Oh run, run, run, run...
Run, run, run, run...
And run, run, run, run...
Run, run, run, run...
Run, run, run, run...

[Acoustic version ending:]
While I powder my nose,
He will powder his gums,
And if I try to get close,
He is already gone,
Don't know what we're doing,
Don't know what we've done.
But the fire is coming,
So I think we should run.

Smoke lyrics - Daughter

In a smoke filled room
With your father watching me
There's three doors and no keys
It's rising, it's choking me

In a smoke filled room
In a smoke filled room

There's a man with no face
Just a blurred out portrait
In a photo frame
I'm losing again, I'm losing my friend
He's face down on the pavement

Then a woman, she screams
It's a terrible night
As the mood changes to dark from light
Tell the doctor what's become of me
So you can analyse, analyse my dreams
Of a smoke filled room
Of a smoke filled room

And then we kiss and his lips turn into sand
And the whole of him cascades through my hands
Making a castle on the floor
Then I'm alone again
No keys and three doors
And a smoke filled room

Now we're both in the room
And we're breathing the fumes
No doors this time, just a gap in the roof
Life floods in, heaven, we're blind
And slowly suffocating, we're dying

In a smoke filled room
We're dying in a smoke filled room
We're dying in a smoke filled room
(In a smoke filled room)

In a smoke filled room
In a smoke filled room
In a smoke filled room

Undead lyrics - Daughter

(performed by Elena Tonra)

He said take me down to hell
Because I think I'd fit in well
You see, his life was full of sins
And he's done some evil things
That he don't tell

He said take me back to yours,
I got something to show ya
You must have a beautiful corpse
And I would like to get to know ya

When the lights they went out
His eyes were red
And it's only me and him now
And we were the undead
We are the undead

So we sat in someone's car
And I showed him all my scars
A little secret that's just ours
It's all ours

When the lights they went out
His eyes were red
And it's only me and him now
And we were the undead
We are the undead

So they took him down to hell
Because they said he'd fit in well
You see, his life was full of sins
And he's done some evil things
That he don't tell

When the lights they went out
His eyes were red
And it's only me and him now
And we were the undead

Then the lights they went out
His eyes were red
And it's only me and him down
And we were the undead

Then the lights, they came on
And the doctor said
You're doing well, you're doing so, so well
After three bullets in your head
You're doing well, you're doing so, so well
After three bullets in your head

Your Kisses lyrics - Daughter

You always find the rain in rainbows
and I thought that you were safe, but all your cracks showed
And I could wear that dress, you won't look your best
I could get undressed, you'd still look depressed
It's all too much, you're so cold to touch
You don't open up, you don't open up

Your kisses are not what I wanted
Your kisses are not what I crave
Your kisses may be a beautiful art
But all I ever wanted was your heart
Right from the start

You only look into my eyes when I've been cryin'
to see if the tears that you have made are slowly dryin'
Oh, but even if they've dried, it don't mean that I'm feelin ok 'cause I'm still sad inside
All I really need is you to comfort me
You don't understand, you don't hold my hand

'Cause your kisses are not what I wanted
Your kisses are not what I crave
Your kisses may be a beautiful art
But all I ever wanted was your heart
Right from the start

Then I see that I'm not the only one in your life
And I start to wonder what this girl, she might be like
And I bet she don't look at stars in the night
I bet she can't sing, I bet she can't write the lyrics to make your heart beat
Sing notes to make you go weak
Oh, the lyrics to make your heart beat
Sing notes to make you go weak

Oh, but her kisses were just what you wanted
Her kisses are just what you crave
Her kisses may be a beautiful art
But she don't really care about your heart
No, she don't really care about your heart
No, she don't really care about your
She don't really care about your
She don't really care about your
heart
