Dancing in the Rubble

Picked up where I left off
Not taking any phone calls
Was that a jean pocket buzz?
I don’t need you at all
Am I face down on this rug?
Never been this healthy and strong
I need no one at all
Made myself two promises
Get fit and stay confident
I’m purging any weakness
So I can climb anything myself
Who needs God when you’re a god yourself
Please just give me a second
I’ll climb on bleeding hands and knees
To stand on the hill
Alone with myself
Dancing in the rubble
I’m dancing in the rubble without you
Dancing in the rubble
I’m dancing in the rubble without you
I’ll be dancing in the rubble without you
The floor was covered in broken porcelain
Around the armchair I like sleeping in
Keeping one eye open
Never turn your back to the door
You say you still recognize my face
But I am not a child any longer
I’m a decorated conqueror
And I’ll climb on
Bleeding hands and knees
To stand on the hill
Alone with myself
Dancing in the rubble
I’m dancing in the rubble without you
I’ll be dancing in the rubble
I’m dancing in the rubble without you

"I texted you from the bathroom
That I’ll quit tomorrow (I hate it here)
I know it’s only been a couple’ weeks
But we should skip town and go
Would you maybe?
Wanna get away from the normies
Like livin’ dead
We’ll be staying in bed all day
I wanna give you head if you’re horny
Are you weirded out by how much I like you?
Ooh (Do you hate it?)
How much I like you?
I’m checking myself out in the rear view
Drivin’ up to your house (Dried my tears right off)
I’ve packed my lipgloss and a tripod
Hope I look good enough
Would you maybe?
Wanna get away from the normies
Like living dead, we’ll be staying in bed today
I wanna give you head if you’re horny
Are you weirded out by how much I like you?
Ooh (Do you hate it?)
How much I like you?
Wanna get away from the normies
Like livin’ dead, we’ll be staying in bed today
I wanna give you head if you’re horny
Are you weirded out by how much I like you?
Ooh (Do you hate it?)
How much I like you?"

Fell Through the Ice

"I'm trying hard not to fight
A piece of you was lodged in me
When we fell through the ice
Eyes
A crack between our bodies
Opened up with that one kiss
And I crawled through the opening
And ended up in bits
In your hands
You said you won’t hold me here
Anymore
I know that I shouldn’t ask
Keep it from spilling out of me
When you loosen your grasp
I
Won’t beg that you don’t leave me
Though It’s likely that I’ll die
You’re holding all the strings
That keep me upright and alive
In your hands
You said you can’t breathe in here
Anymore
I can’t stand it
Please, please
Let me fall asleep
Before you leave me
Please, please
Leave me to my dreams
where I’m still your girl
Please, please
I can’t stand it"

"As foolish as it was
To let these songs rip me right open
However big the applause
I’m staring at myself in the bathroom
after another interview
It’s important to look good
And I do
Maybe I said too much again
But If you want me
I’ll give you everything
If you want me
I’ll give you everything
I want you to tell me
That you will adore me
And you will not forget it
I just need your deepest love
Chant my own words back to me
Then maybe it’ll will be worth it
“I want more
I need more”
Spilled my guts to make some room
For you to fill me up
Gagged the part of me who told me
There’s a line I shouldn’t cross
As foolish as it was
To give myself to total strangers
It's easier than I thought
To turn my secrets into your entertainment
I just wanna see you amazed
See the astonishment light up your face
And it will
Maybe I said too much again
But if you want me I’ll give you everything
I want you to tell me
That you will adore me
And you will not forget it
I just need your deepest love
Chant own words back to me
Then maybe it’ll will be worth it
“I want more
I need more”
Spilled my guts to make some room
For you to fill me up
Gagged the part of me who told me
There’s a line I shouldn’t cross (Make some room)
I want you to tell me
That you will adore me (Adore me, you adore me)
And you will not forget it
I just need your deepest love
Chant own words back to me
Then maybe it’ll will be worth it
“I want more
I need more” (Deepest Love)
Everything (uhoh)
Everything
Everything (make some room)
Everything
Everything
Everything
Everything"

Keep Bleeding Diamonds

At 3am
Again you’ve turned around in your sleep
And withdrawn the limp hand
That you offered reluctantly
As you drifted off
Just as I thought
It’s become a chore for you to hold me
How can something so effortless
Become so hard?
You’d say I’m being melodramatic
If I could just be chill
You wouldn’t wanna walk
Ah
Walk
Ah
If you don't wanna look upon me with loving eyes
I promise, baby,
I totally don't mind
I don't mind
And then
I’ll be bleeding diamonds all over the floor
I swear I don’t need anything
Just hopelessly hung up on your love
Keep bleeding diamonds for you
Don’t mind me
Bleeding all these diamonds for you
It's all fine
There’s no need to worry, darling
It’s such a nice dinner
Hear me laugh
Ha Ha Ha
But as I turn my back to do the dishes
One tiny tear escapes my heart
Ah
Heart
Perhaps again you’ll look upon me with loving eyes
But if not, no problem,
I totally don't mind
I don't mind
And then
I’ll be bleeding diamonds all over the floor
I swear I don’t need anything
Just hopelessly hung up on your love
Keep bleeding diamonds for you
Don’t mind me bleeding all these diamonds for you
Ah

Snow Angels

|

|
I like when its gets cold outside
Means I get to curl up closer to you
When we go to sleep at night
Mmh
It doesn’t scare me anymore
We’re making snow angels
In the middle of the road
Mmh
By loving me you make me real
By loving me you make me real
By loving me you make me real
By loving me you make me real

Into the Ooze
04:16
|
|

|
Ooh
Slid my feet into these high heeled shoes
Tried to stand up straight like good girls should
Ooh
But something’s pulling me into the ooze
I should’ve kept it together but I couldn’t
Anymore
Hehehey (ah)
Do you remember what you said? (ah)
“This girl’s never gonna go feral” (ah)
Might as well go ahead
Uh
Ooh
Keep pouring gasoline on that fire
Ooh
‘Cause I’m not a fucking coward
Been broken too many times by this
Not gonna be an agreeable little bitch
Never been more ravenous than right now
Ooh
Boy, have I got a surprise for you
Girls like me could leave your life in ruins
Ooh
The fangs have grown with every ridicule
You’d have me be your Melpomene but I refuse
Hehehey (Ah)
Do you remember what you said? (Ah)
“This girl’s never gonna go feral” (Ah
Now she’s ripping off your head
Uh
Ooh
Keep pouring gasoline on that fire
Ooh
‘Cause I’m not a fucking coward
Been broken too many times by this
Not gonna be an agreeable little bitch
Never been more ravenous than right now
Ooh
Keep pouring gasoline on that fire
Ooh
‘Cause I’m not a fucking coward
Been broken too many times by this
Not gonna be an agreeable little bitch
Never been more ravenous than right now

I once begged you to love me
Now I’m doing it again
Turns out that it's just very hard
To truly love yourself
If I ever figure it out
I won't be such a child
I’ll be a brand new woman
You won’t recognise me
It could be more than a daydream
If only I grew the spine (Mmh)
To leave a note to tell you
That we’ve kissed for the last time (Mmh)
Getting in the car at sunrise
Purging my old life
I could be a wild woman
A dot on the horizon
Oh God!
How does it feel to breathe?
There’s always been a feral dog (Ooh)
Clawing its way out of me
If I ever let her see
The light of day
Then maybe
I could be a wild woman (Ooh)
A brand new woman
I could be a wild woman (Ooh)
And I’d never have to beg you
A glass of wine
Might calm me down
Am I foaming at the mouth? (Ah)
Scratch marks on the bed frame
And tears in the new towels (Ah)
Well before they’ve left my throat
I’m eating my own words
“Baby, I’m a wild woman
And I don’t care if that hurts you”
Oh God!
How does it feel to breathe?
There’s always been a feral dog (Ooh)
Clawing its way out of me
If I ever let her see the light of day
Then maybe
I could be a wild woman (Ooh)
A brand new woman
Oh what a wild woman (Ooh)
I could be
I could be
I could be
I could be
I could be
I could be

No Liver, No Lungs

I’m not alive enough
So I’ll take a knife to the heart
And I’ll cut a little piece
Of my own skin off
And there’s nothing there inside
I’m leaking vinegar and sparkling wine
Just an echo
How am I alive?
No kidney, no heart,
No liver, no lungs
Were they removed?
Or this is how I was born?
Turns out after all this time
I really am just empty inside
Ooh
No kidney, no heart,
No liver, no lungs
Were they removed?
Or this is how I was born?
Turns out after all this time
I really am just empty inside
Ooh
Was this ever a real body?
Or just a complicated machine?
Was this ever a real body?
Or just a complicated machine?
Was this ever a real body?
Or just a complicated machine?
Was this ever a real body?
Or just a complicated machine?
Ooh

Funny how I have a tender heart
Funny how I have a tender heart
Funny how I have a tender heart
When all I ever want
Is someone strong enough
To open me up
And demand it
You’re not strong enough
Open up
Mmh
You’re not strong enough
Ah
open me up
And demand it
Uh
Open me up
And demand it
Uh

Grinding Boulders
05:13
|
|

I am sticking out my tongue
To taste the sweetness of the rain
Drops are drumming on the boardwalk
As you let go of my hand
I said I wouldn’t stoop to beg you
Like I have done before
“Can you love me even harder?
“Can you love me even more?”
More
No, I'm not fading away
This time
I’ll be an ocean grinding boulders
Into to pebbles then to sand
Then become a massive desert
Running through an hourglass
Baby, there nothing that I’ll need
Not even one demand or chore
Can you love me even harder?
Can you love me even more?
No I’m not fading away
This time
And I’ve never been this pretty
We’ve never been more in love
My darling, you’re just distracted, right?
You’ll feel it soon enough
I think the sky is clearing
Don’t you feel showered by the rain?
Everything is so slippery
Are you slipping away from me?
Ah

Hurricane
04:22
|
|

|
I will open all the windows
In the eye of the hurricane
Let the wind take my journals
and a letter that I never sent
I will push the old piano
To the porch as an offering
Haven’t learned how to play it anyway
Never had the discipline
Uh
If it also decides to take me
Then I will be ready to leave
And should it claim me I’ll know
I did what I could to let go
Release me, desire
The sky’s so big and blue
A small silver locket
Couple baby teeth inside
I’ve had it for so long now
Don’t even know if they are mine
My grandmother’s scribbled recipes
Dancing, they are free
With my beautiful white wedding gown
In a whirlwind around me
Uh
If it also decides take me
Then I will be ready to leave
And should it claim me I’ll know
I did what I could to let go
Release me, desire
The sky’s so big and blue

Brimheim Malmö, Sweden
Crafting lyricism with candid veracity, Brimheim’s brand of indie rock provides the unexpected
yet catchy.
Articulate phrases run their nails along her day-to-day attempts to decipher the ‘how to’ of happiness. Naturally, an underlying current of anxiety undulates throughout, but occasional flowerings of hope and humor offer a welcome and
contrasting fragrance.
