Ashley Roberts - Clockwork


...he looks like you
from the back
fully dressed
on that cold day
in my head
ticking my heart
heart
like clockwork...



Paloma Faith - Only Love Can Hurt Like This


 
...we do what we can
to hold on
 
scratching
slipping
gripping
clinging
 
our claws
sinking
into our backs
like hooks
chain
wall
pain
 
this frantic
panic
manic
romantic...
 

                            

Sunmi - 24 Hours

 
...wrapped in vanilla
oak and heat,
I want to feel
like I've never felt before
falling so endlessly...
 

Oh Land - Cherry On Top

 
...thirsty for coin
purpose
value
 the clock ticks even slower now
slower than my heart
as if time will stop
and I'll be forever
stuck
preserved
like wasp
in amber...
 


Royal Teeth - Wild

 
...I believe
there has always been
something inside me
some call it hot blood
some call it a burning flame...
the thing inside
that stirs
so deep and won't
die
 
this prism
beaming to be
 
It flares and shifts
dancing about
like wolves in thick wood
careful, free
and the more I hide,
the more it burns
itching through my skin.
I want to peel it back
and let it wing
but for some reason
I continue
to keep this coat on...
 

Shakira - Empire

 
...did I see a future with you?
I always have
for the longest time
yes
my answer is yes
 
But for now
I need to keep my wings
until I know
for sure
that you will forever be
an anchor
and not so freely
sail away
 
and so I stay
en pointe
for him
never falling
on my heel
 
will it be you?
I don't know...
 
my feet ache
the pain of it all
but from my face
you'd never guess
I've been on my toes
for years...
 

Florrie - Free Falling


...I feel the pressure in my head
I feel it all around
late last week
even tonight

playing in reverse
yet all the cards played
were perfect

and somehow
I'm left
picking up ties
that slid off the bed
onto my 
wooden floor...
