Atha Fox The lyrics on this album are so raw and so real. They're powerful, but sung gently. The simple implementation and double-layered vocals are a great complement to the descriptions. I love it! Favorite track: Magic vs Fear.

Victim 02:30
i'm going to build myself up i'm going to get so fucking strong make you wish you'd never threatened me with violence when you said to me i am not the one who hurt you i'm just the victim who tore out your heart and you do not deserve a single ounce of my sympathy because i never meant to do you harm but that's not how it works i don't know how it works how it works i go back and forth in my own head no matter how much i think cant turn these thoughts into sense but you know i guess that's fine i'll just spend three whole years trying to figure this out you better hold on fucking tight i've got a white jumpsuit and a sharpened knife and i need some catharsis in my life because ever since you stabbed me i've been on the defense all of the time and i don't want to hurt you not really but the way you feign your innocence oh, i can think clearly you've planted all this doubt in my head does this make any sense can't even tell if you meant for me to end up like this did you want me dead? does this make any sense? well i don't need help from you i am my own machine

i woke up underneath your stairs i think i need a minute to shake off all the drowsy feeling and open up my eyes and open up the window, i think i need to open my heart up to all of the feelings but as soon as i open up they depart but i want to stay in that space forever that space that's not so awake i think you need to hold on tight i think i'm gonna make a mistake i'll sleep underneath your stairs for as long as you need me there i wanna be there but you're always going so fast too fast for me am i dead
3.
i was born under the city lights i found my heart deep in the countryside i want to be there do you want me to be happy? but there's this feeling in my heart that screams "i love you" but there's something in my head that's saying "i don't know if i can ever trust you again" but there's something in my heart that says "its alright" so i guess that i just have to pick a side i've foraged well, i've made a home here i'd rather die than return there i never want to have to hear those words again but there's this feeling in my heart that screams "i love you" but there's something in my head that's saying "i don't know if i can ever trust you again" but there's something in my heart that says "its alright" so i guess that i just have to pick a side i'll cast a spell, i think i know one and if i don't i can compose one it's called loving and controlling myself but there's this feeling in my heart that screams "i love you" but there's something in my head that's saying "i don't know if i can ever trust you again" but there's something in my heart that says "its alright" so i guess that i just have to pick a side
4.
i've been picking up all of the bones and you're so content on following me home i think you need to find a way back you're not the only one to ever feel sad for no reason i wake up fucked by my feelings go back to sleep but i'm dealing and either way i mean it when i say that you're amazing but you're driving me crazy i think we need a new direction or something to fix my head i just need some reassurance that i'm not the one who's making you feel this pain i need you to confirm all of this so that i can ignore all of the scary things you're saying i need you to let me go or control me because for a period of time you owned me and ever since you held my heart in your hands i've been scared of what you might do i wake up loving and breathing i'm trapped in the ceiling you make me feel all anemic i don't know who to believe in do i trust all my instincts and let you lose your grip? i think you lost all your touch because you're letting my gaze slip i think i need to learn from this but after all this time well did you change your mind i don't know if i can because you cut the cord and i didn't die i've been picking up all of the bones and you're so content on following me home i think you need to find a way back you're not the only one to ever feel sad for no reason

2:45 AM 00:38
hell in a handbasket doesn't even touch the way that you feel yeah you vibrate so much i wanna stay in your aura you are a liminal space i want you forever you're the darkness i face you heal me with hands so bruised and cracked to the touch living your fullest life open and shut i wish you the best i wish you'd come back you're breaking my thought process my full heart collapsed
6.
Slip 01:08
yeah its true i've been gone for a while i've been walking for miles and miles away from it and i cant tell when i'm coming back and all i want is to get on the right track and for me to find myself again
7.
No Medicine 01:35
i've got eyes in the back of my head i don't want you to forget how it felt when we were alone together and I held you so close to my chest that you could feel the pulse of my flesh vessel i just want you to renounce me so I can move on and be without you if you don't want the wound to heal then no medicine will work no antibiotics
8.
Shadow Work 01:23
hurt me like i deserve it love me i'm moving forwards realizing i was never perfect i think i've had enough help me my mind is closing in on me im far from holy maybe better off dead than broken i'll just keep holding on
9.
Holy Ground 01:30
all things decay and i am wasting away i am working my bones to dust i miss you face god i miss your face i am holding on to love but you say its not that bad but you don't understand life's really hard and then we all die so i want you in my arms tonight when heaven and hell become reality tell me you'll follow me into the light but you aren't sure which one you're heading towards will you let me follow you down to fire or holy ground?
10.
i got a lot to learn i got your call the other day i wanna be there too what more do i need to say seasons change i hope you're doing well i guess time it will tell because we don't talk anymore and you don't want to admit that we were something that words could not describe i got my heart torn out and ripped to shred buts then i survived and seasons change the days keep passing i feel better with every second like phases of the moon i know everything's transient i feel you in my heart even though i'm panicked come calm me down so i can fix all my habits
11.
Anam Cara 03:03
i'm broken but i'm soft you're fading but you're sharp and i need you like a watch keep me grounded till i stop and i cannot imagine my life without you hold me down keep me feeling the light yeah you're the only one i've kept through the night and it's not accident that we are so attached keep me here when i want to go back to the way i was yeah keep me on track yeah tonight we are angels in my mind and we're holy but we're lost and i feel you in the dark energetic interlocked this is more than i ever thought and i cannot imagine my life without you so hold me down keep me feeling the light yeah you're the only one i've kept through the night and it's not accident that we are so attached keep me here when i want to go back to the way i was yeah keep me on track yeah tonight we are angels in my mind i feel the breeze on my skin new things are gonna begin i feel complete now like nothing can go wrong
12.
i'm the most cold blooded warm hearted girl you'll ever meet i've got a cloak on my chest with a dagger underneath but when i look up at the stars i don't know i'm a different person hold on to the part where i'm gone and i feel feel your curses trapping me under the weight of my own thoughts and memories i think my family was right i'm not a human being i think i need a new home this is the broken part i am not the same i need to open up and press restart i know not to meddle with my own spirituality i've got the goddess on speed dial what more do i need i've got some tricks up my sleep but i haven't needed them in a while though i miss you desperately i don't miss how you messed with me your motives aren't intricate all you really wanted was a little escape from the headspace that your minds in but i don't want to hurt you anymore i don't need help from you i am my own machine but i don't want to hurt you anymore i don't need help from you myself is all i need i don't even trust you anymore i don't need help from you myself is all i need i feel you deep in the night your name is calling mine
