The Heart That You Break Just Might Be Your Own - Lucia lyrics
from the album "From the Land of Volcanos"
SO CLEVER
Pull me in like magic, so enchanting, fearless monkey puzzle tree of branches,
Perfectly fashioned, so charming, mysterious, you are regarded with caution, a special touch.
Dangerously suspect qualities, you think I need you, so clever, multisensory,
So cleverly reach into me, whatever you wish to believe, I'm everything that's wonderful, your impossible dream.
Ominous, you live behind a curtain, sneaking to and from your secret garden,
Drawing me into your world like a superstar, I am a pearl that you add to your crown of thorns.
Criminal our curiosity, you think I need you, so clever, multisensory,
So cleverly reach into me, whatever you wish to believe, I'm everything that's wonderful, your impossible dream.
You think I need you, so clever, multisensory, so cleverly reach into me,
Whatever you wish to believe, I'm everything that's wonderful, so impossible.
Clever, multisensory, cleverly reach into me, whatever you want me to be, everything that's possible, unpredictable dream.
I DON'T CARE
I know it's been a long time and I'm thinking about angels and wonder if anyone's listening to me.
Thought I heard your voice inside me, regulating frequency, I don't receive the messages you leave.
On and on I stop and wonder if you think of me, I don't care about your honour in this constant state of tragedy.
I'm searching for a sign from somewhere of who the hell I'm supposed to be, I don't care if you think about me.
Forward motion pulls me down in, my shallow breath is losing ground, I fall apart over the simplest things.
Been afraid, I'm tired of that, I'm a little slow in climbing back, my only crime is taking what I need.
Just holding on for something to believe, I'm holding on for something to believe.
On and on I stop and wonder if you think of me, I don't care about your honour in this constant state of tragedy.
I'm searching for a sign from somewhere of who the hell I'm supposed to be, I don't care if you think about me.
NORTHERN STAR
All the days that came before you were empty bottles on the shore; it's been a lifetime since I've seen you, I still have the urge to call.
Guess I'm better off forgetting what I wish that I had back, so many things I'd like to ask you, like do you have any regrets?
You're the bridge that I must cross, the puzzle yet unsolved, a voice without a reason, beckoning my call,
Imaginary friend, you're the lover I adore, wonder where you are, if you remember me?
While your searching for your northern star, the heart that you break just might be your own.
Are you certain what your wishing for, cause the heart that you break just might be your own.
Live to sleep and dream about you, it's a strange comfort to my soul, then I wake alone without you, I'm better off not dreaming at all.
While your searching for your northern star, the heart that you break just might be your own.
Are you certain what your wishing for, cause the heart that you break just might be your own.
FEAR
It's a strange familiar place, like the back of your hand or the scar on your face; takes a minute til you climb out of the middle and the winner takes it all.
It's the same dark embrace, cold winter days that never change, it takes a minute, a moment to miss a call.
There's something dragging me down, a voice that knows me all too well.
Fear has got the best of me, there's no rescue, I'm half empty, a little doubt can take it all.
Faithful is as faithful does, only the fearless keep holding on until the fear is gone.
It lies quiet, quick swift moves, bringing out the worst, disguising the truth; a cruel hand that will crush what it holds, has a life all its own.
The uninvited unexpected guest, the one you avoid, the one you detest; all the stories, newfound discoveries, nothing to brace the fall.
I cannot see my way in, I cannot find my way out.
Fear has got the best of me, there's no rescue, I'm half empty, a little doubt can take it all.
Faithful is as faithful does, only the fearless keep holding on until the fear is gone.
FEELS LIKE SUMMER
In my car, on my way, sunlight beating down on my face, taste salt, ocean heavy mist, it's a beautiful thing
When it hits sweet like this, scent bloom of a summer kiss, epiphany of what happiness means.
Something I could never define, because winter always hung in my sky, suddenly it comes rushing in.
In a while I'll be on my way, I get closer to what summer brings, feels like summer.
Right on time, not a minute late, I can't wipe this smile off my face, feels like summer.
Heads up, aim high, double down, odds are good, lady luck's around, exotic even for a girl like me, curious creature with a sci-fi theme.
I'm lit within, quick freeze frame play, can't remember ever feeling this way, when suddenly straight out of a dream it comes rushing in.
Feels like summer, in a while I'll be on my way, I get closer to what summer brings, feels like summer.
Right on time, not a minute late, I can't wipe this smile off my face, feels like summer.
Where everything is easy, where everybody's free, take me closer to that feeling that summertime brings.
Moving on, driving south, highway one, I'm headed homebound, perfect summer sun-kissed sky, it's a beautiful day.
WHAT YOU BECOME
I scream out loud, I can't figure it out at all; days pass, slow crawl, just dragging myself along.
Push, pull, impending fate, ignite, regress, decay, this is; look at what you've become, this is what you become.
Fall in, forsake, swallow more than I wish to taste; clipped wings, clean break, fragile uncertain fate.
Innocence disintegrate, too much for me to take, this is; look at what you've become, this is what you become.
In a pool painted black, heavy water hinging back, exodus silent wave of change, against the grain I shall remain.
WE ARE ANGELS
Who'd have ever thought the sky was blue, who'd have ever thought that I would find you,
Someone who could understand the way I feel when no one else can walk the wicked ways that I'm inclined to?
We are falling from the same sky, it's a strange hand we are saved by,
And our stars may be crossed, but for now you and I, we are angels, watch us fly.
Once upon a stormy summer day, she met a boy and fell in love the hard way,
Someone who could understand and make her feel like no one else and maybe it might be that in our own way.
We are falling from the same sky, it's a strange hand we are saved by,
And our stars may be crossed, but for now you and I, we are angels, watch us fly.
Somewhere between heaven and the nowhere we're in, someway half-believing somehow we could even fly.
Falling from the same sky, it's a strange hand we are saved by,
And our cause may be lost, but for now you and I, we are angels, watch us fly.
WHO ASKED YOU
It's a curious creature, this twist of fate, how am I supposed to know?
Wake up tired with a mouth so dry, I can hardly pay attention or recognise, who's that staring back at you?
Step by step beneath a truth so cruel, will I find my way to you?
Stranger faces, everything is new, feels like I've backslid a little where no one can find me,
The trip's so vivid, worlds collide, who asked you, hold on.
It's a vicious circle, figure eight, slipping back beyond control.
Can't remember if it's summer or December, got a mirror for a window and I hate the view, am I finally breaking through?
Constellations of a life gone by, will I find my way to you?
Laughter echoes through a sleepless night, feels like I've backslid a little where no one can find me,
The trip's so vivid, worlds collide, who asked you, hold on.
I'm a little bit alright, am I gonna be okay, I've been staring at these walls one hundred and twenty days, who asked you, hold on.
I WILL
I'm coming back to my senses, thinking about all the time gone by.
Knee deep inside the void, since a sure thing was compromised, baby, times two.
My lips may be smiling but I'm lost in the middle of God knows where.
Don't know where I belong and I don't like the view from here, gonna pack my bags and favourite boots, speed right past you out of here.
When my mind is numb, playing tricks on me and the world is crashing, I think about it, I think I will.
When it's said and done, plan the great escape, want to see the ocean, I think about it, I think I will.
The more I seem to learn, the lesser I am free, I've been stuck here in mediocrity.
If I say I'm fine I'm lying, cause I'm lost in the middle of God knows where.
So long to yesterday and this old skin I hate to wear, those days of innocence speed right past me out of here.
When my mind is numb, playing tricks on me and the world is crashing, I think about it, I think I will.
When it's said and done, plan the great escape, want to see the ocean, I think about it, I think I will.
When all the angels surrounding step back, I'm slipping into the cracks,
Though it's not clear where I'm going, I'm sure this time I'm not coming back.
MONKEY PUZZLE TREE
Tangled up, I can't come down, my feet are lifting off the ground, caught up in your monkey puzzle tree.
Fingernails like needles scrape across my skin, cherry lips devour me, disabled by your kiss.
I can deny you nothing, just ask and you'll receive, the phoenix fights desire, you know just what I mean.
With telepathic tendencies, we need no words to speak.
Tangled up, I can't come down, my feet are lifting off the ground, caught up in your monkey puzzle tree.
Lipstick smear across your face, it's dangerous to act this way, caught up in your monkey puzzle tree.
Twisting and turning, strange creatures at play, we mirror each other, we are one and the same.
I tremble with caution and not know what to say, I've been hunted and caught up in the traps you've laid.
You say it's all or nothing, the line we've crossed is clear, we're living in the moment, it's primal what we feel.
We're bordering irrational, not consciously aware of actions or their consequence or what we're doing here.
LITTLE ROSE
Whisper in the morning, little roselet, crimson lips upon me meet skin on skin.
Where does he come from, what kind of place, and what does he think of, can barely read his face, maybe he's dead.
I lie quiet here, crispy sheets shifting, comfort can't find me cause I'm an idiot, maybe he's dead.
What the angel fears, when darkness calls, animal instinct interferes.
It's all or nothing, little rose, little roselet, little rose.
I'm glowing in the black light, twitchy fingers cringe, how did we come to this?
Shadows at night, curious eyes closing me in, what do you want from me?
The palest shards of winter sky freeze my one and only crime.
It's all or nothing, little rose, little roselet, little rose.
ORDINARY GIRL
Like a caterpillar to a butterfly, chameleonlike evolve with time, I am a paradox, a mystery, eternal inconsistency.
I'm just an ordinary girl in an ordinary world.
Catatonic, I can't get up, I'm a cannonball in a sugar drop, friends say maybe you should medicate, staring me down with a samurai face.
How many times will it take you, how many times will it break you, how many times til you leave this place, do you even have it in you?
I'm just an ordinary girl in an ordinary world.
A girl by any other name, different colours all the same, pretty, dangerous or plain, I'm an ordinary girl.
Insecure or filled with rage, all depending on the day, inner wisdom, inner shame, I'm an ordinary girl, just an ordinary girl.
Opium dreams that rise and swell like tide pools in a wishing well,
Until geisha morning white powder face and mother orchids on the radio waves.
Another day, another round, squeezing into the underground.
