Isabella Summers

Happiness, it hurt like a train on a track
Coming towards her, stuck still no turning back

She hid around corners and she hid under beds
She killed it with kisses and from it she fled
With every bubble she sank with a drink
And washed it away down the kitchen sink

The dog days are over
The dog days are done
The horses are coming so you better run

Run fast for your mother run fast for your father
Run for your children and your sisters and brothers
Leave all your love and your loving behind you
Can't carry it with you if you want to survive

The dog days are over
The dog days are done
Can't you hear the horses
Cuz here they come

And I never wanted anything from you
Except everything you had
And what was left after that too. oh.

Happiness it hurt like a bullet in the mind
Stuck them up drainpipes
By someone who should know better than that

The dog days are over
The dog days are gone
Can you hear the horses
Cuz here they come

Run fast for your mother and fast for your father
Run for your children for your sisters and brothers
Leave all your love and your loving behind you
Can't carry it with you if you want to survive

The dog days are over
The dog days are gone
Can you hear the horses because here they come

The dog days are over
The dog days are gone
Can you hear the horses because here they come

The looking glass, so shiny and new,
How quickly the glamour fades,
I start spinning slipping out of time,
Was that the wrong pill to take?
(Raise it up!)
You made a deal and now it seems you have to offer up,
But will it, ever be enough,
Raise it up
Raise it up
It’s not enough
Raise it up
Raise it up,
Here I am,
A rabbit hearted girl,
Frozen in the headlights
It seems I made, the final sacrifice.
We raise it up,
This offering
We raise it up
This is a gift,
It comes with a price,
Who is the lamb and who is the knife?
Midas is king
And he holds me so tight,
And turns me to gold in the sunlight
I look around but I can’t find you,
(Raise it up!)
If only I could see your face,
(Raise it up!)
I started rushing towards the starlight,
(Raise it up!)
I wish that I could just be brave
I must become the lion hearted girl,
Ready for a fight.
Before I make the final sacrifice
We raise it up
This offering
We raise it up
This is a gift,
It comes with a price,
Who is the lamb and who is the knife?
Midas is king
And he holds me so tight,
And turns me to gold in the sunlight
Raise it up
Raise it up
And in the spring
I shed my skin
And it blows away with the changing wind,
The water has turned from blue to red
As towards the sky I offer it
This is a gift,
It comes with a price,
Who is the lamb and who is the knife?
And Midas is king
And he holds me so tight,
And turns me to gold in the sunlight
x 3
This is a gift.

I'm not calling you a liar,
just don't lie to me.
I'm not calling you a thief,
Just don't steal from me.
I'm not calling you a ghost,
Just stop haunting me.
And I love you so much,
I'm gonna let you,
Kill me.

There's a ghost in my lungs,
And it sighs in my sleep,
Wraps itself around my tongue,
As it softly speaks.

Then it walks, then it walks
With my legs,
To fall, to fall, to fall at your feet.
There but for the grace of god go I,
And when you kiss me I'm happy enough to die.

I'm not calling you a liar,
Just don't lie to me.
And I love you so much
I'm gonna let you..
I'm not callin you a thief,
Just don't..
And I love you so much,
I'm gonna let you...
I'm not callin you a ghost,
Just stop.

There's a ghost in my mouth,
And it talks in my sleep,
Wraps itself around my tongue,
As it softly speaks.

Then it walks.
Then it walks.
Then it walks with my legs.

To fall, to fall, to fall, to fall, to fall, to fall.
To fall, to fall, to fall, to fall, to fall, to fall.
To fall, to fall, to fall, to fall, to fall, to fall.
To fall, to fall, to fall, to fall, to fall, to fall.
At your feet.

Oh but for the grace of God go on,
And when you kiss me,
I'm happy enough.

If you could only see the beast you've made of me
I held it in but now it seems you've set it running free
Screaming in the dark, I howl when we're apart
Drag my teeth across your chest to taste your beating heart

My fingers claw your skin, try to tear my way in
You are the moon that breaks the night for which I have to howl
My fingers claw your skin, try to tear my way in
You are the moon that breaks the night for which I have to

Howl, howl
Howl, howl

Now there's no holding back, I'm making to attack
My blood is singing with your voice, I want to pour it out
The saints can't help me now, the ropes have been unbound
I hunt for you with bloodied feet across the hallow'ed ground

Like some child possessed, the beast howls in my veins
I want to find you, tear out all of your tenderness

And howl, howl
Howl, howl

Be careful of the curse that falls on young lovers
Starts so soft and sweet and turns them to hunters
Hunters, hunters, hunters
Hunters, hunters, hunters

The fabric of your flesh, pure as a wedding dress
Until I wrap myself inside your arms I cannot rest
The saints can't help me now, the ropes have been unbound
I hunt for you with bloodied feet across the hallow'ed ground

And howl

Be careful of the curse that falls on young lovers
Starts so soft and sweet and turns them to hunters

A man who's pure of heart and says his prayers by night
May still become a wolf when the autumn moon is bright

If you could only see the beast you've made of me
I held it in but now it seems you've set it running free
The saints can't help me now, the ropes have been unbound
I hunt for you with bloodied feet across the hallow'ed ground

You hit me once I hit you back You gave a kick I gave a slap You smashed a plate Over my head Then I set fire to our bed You hit me once I hit you back You gave a kick I gave a slap You smashed a plate Over my head Then I set fire to our bed My black eye casts no shadow Your red eye sees no pain Your slaps don't stick Your kicks don't hit So we remain the same Blood sticks and Sweat drips Break the lock if it don't fit A kick in the teeth is good for some A kiss with a fist is better than none A-woah a kiss with a fist is better than none Broke your jaw once before spilt your blood upon the floor You broke my leg in return Sit back and watch the bed burn Well love sticks sweat drips Break the lock if it don't fit A kick in the teeth is good for some A kiss with a fist is better than none A-woah a kiss woth a fist is better than none You hit me once I hit you back You gave a kick I gave a slap You smashed a plate over my head Then I set fire to our bed You hit me once I hit you back You gave a kick I gave a slap You smashed a plate over my head Then I set fire to our bed

She told me not to step on the cracks
I told her not to fuss and relax
Pretty little thing stopped me in my tracks
But now she sleeps with one eye open
That's the price she paid

I took a knife and cut out her eye
I took it home and watched it wither and die
Well, she's lucky that I didn't slip her a smile
That's why she sleeps with one eye open
That's the price she paid

I said, hey, girl with one eye
Get your filthy fingers out of my pie
I said, hey, girl with one eye
I'll cut your little heart out cause you made me cry

I slipped my hand under her skirt
I said don't worry, it's not gonna hurt
Oh, my reputation's kinda clouded with dirt
That's why you sleep with one eye open
That's the price you paid

I said, hey, girl with one eye
Get your filthy fingers out of my pie
I said, hey, girl with one eye
I'll cut your little heart out cause you made me cry

You made me cry
You made me cry
You made me cry

I said, hey, girl with one eye
Get your filthy fingers out of my pie
I said, hey, girl with one eye
Get your filthy fingers out my pie

I said, hey, girl with one eye
Get your filthy fingers out of my pie
I said, hey, girl with one eye
I'll cut your little heart out cause you made me cry
