Joanna Stevens

It's a weird game
I'm lonely without skin
No end to begin and only
Your mind to hide in
I nudge life
Like an unborn child. a dream
Inside but now I live behind your eyes
I'm uninvited. and I'm only
A memory that comes through

I'm living in your dreams
I'm where you cannot be
I'm way out of your reach

I'm living in your dreams
I'm where you cannot see
Is it you or is it me?

I can't protect what you can't forget
But now I live behind your eyes
You recognize me as only a memory
That comes through

I'm living in your dreams
I'm where you cannot go
Beyond everything you know
I'm living in your dreams
You won't find me anywhere
I've vanished in the air

Unbidden shadows of you formed yesterday
I ran away to a room here on the bay
Interrupted life again, another new beginning
Where the silence echoes you're no longer with me

Here and now, I feel that I'm embracing freedom
Even though I may be alone, but that's okay

Through the darkness I would walk in the streets
Confessions never seemed to provide me with a release
Held me down and tried to cure me, tried to give me reason
But nothing could separate this burdened mind from me

Here and now, I feel that I'm embracing freedom
Even though I may be alone, but that's okay
And looking out to a different sky will disengage me
Absence is never the answer, I know, but it serves as my shade

I do not seek and do not intend to find
A calmer ocean or a sun that will never rise
My world will never change and time will bring you to my thoughts
And I'll move on and then forget you all over again
Moving on, I can forgive you all over again

Here and now, I feel that I'm embracing freedom
Even though I may be alone, but that's okay
And looking out onto a different sky, it seems so easy
Absence is never the answer, I know, but it serves as my shade

There used to be a time
When i was your slave
We used to have a deal
But you took and i gave
You called me uncivilised
You called me untamed
I don't want to hear your shit
'cos all of that's changed
And it's safe to say

I don't-
You don't-
We don't feel that way anymore
I don't-
You don't-
We don't feel that way anymore

There used to be a time
When i was your whore
You told me i needed you
I think we both knew the score
Now you're tight with your money
And you're tight with your friends
I've got two hundred million mouths to feed
And you want me to bend
I don't think so

I don't-
You don't-
We don't feel that way anymore
I don't-
You don't-
We don't feel that way anymore

(shake it baby, shake it, shake it baby)
(shake it, shake it, baby)

There used to be a time
When i was your slave
Now you'd better look behind you
You've fucked me enough for one day

I don't-
You don't-
We don't feel that way anymore
I don't-
You don't-
We don't feel that way anymore

(shake it baby, shake it, shake it baby)

I don't-
You don't-
We don't feel that way anymore
I don't-
You don't-
We don't feel that way anymore

I don't-
You don't-
We don't feel that way anymore
I don't-
You don't-
We don't feel that way anymore

I don't-
You don't-
We don't feel that way anymore
I don't-
You don't-
We don't feel that way anymore

I don't-
You don't-
We don't feel that way anymore

Hear the sirens in a distant part of town
Hear the rumble of the freeway dying down
Someone calls me but the answer phone's turned down
I'm not sleepin' but there's sleepers all around

Hear the TV say the future's gettin' near
Everybody lives between their hope and fear
I can't tell if anyone is sincere
Lock the door and pull the covers up to here

It's dark out there

Footsteps echoing outside the door
Tomorrow's paper brings the same news as before
No one cares about the truth any more
Now the hurricane is racing to the shore

It's dark out there

Other people are in dream land
Other people are asleep
All the bad things in the world are just outside
I'm falling in too deep, I'm tryin' to get some sleep

I wanted to be near
I wanted you to hear
I wanted you to know
It all belongs to you

And everything I am
I give to you alone
I wanted you to know
It all belongs to you

I give it from my soul
I want you to be whole
I want you to believe
It all belongs to you

You've got a way to go
And as for you I know
It all belongs to you
It all belongs to you

A star that's dying
A god forgiving
A love worth fighting for

A race divided
A drug for healing
All belong to you

I wanted to be near
I wanted you to hear
I wanted you to know
It all belongs to you

And everything I am
I give to you alone
I wanted you to know
It all belongs to you

Bedtime stories
(It all belongs to you)
A dream of glory
(It all belongs to you)
Another dying breed
(It all belongs to you)

Oceans swelling
(It all belongs to you)
A new beginning
(It all belongs to you)
It all belongs to you
(It all belongs to you)
(It all belongs to you)

A day for dreaming
(It all belongs to you)
A light evolving
(It all belongs to you)
It all belongs to you
(It all belongs to you)

A logic forming
(It all belongs to you)
A sky that's tearing
(It all belongs to you)
It all belongs to you
It all belongs to you

Hear the sirens in a distant part of town
Hear the rumble of the freeway dying down
Someone calls me but the answer phone's turned down
I'm not sleepin' but there's sleepers all around

I can't tell if anyone is sincere
