Tooth & Nail lyrics

SKIN

By Freya Wilcox

I want you hair between my fingers

Wanna feel the fire inside your stare

My body thinks that I'm drowning

Breathing the silence in the air

 

I think we might lose our minds today

And I think you might tear my world away

Oh yeah

 

Cus I want you on my skin

And I wanna make you scream

And I will fight you tooth and nail

Cus I want you to win

I want you on my skin

 

I want your hands inside my Calvins

Wanna feel your pulse between my teeth

I can feel my legs fill up with needles

As your breath rattles through me

 

I think we might lose our minds today

And I think we might bruise our hearts this way

Oh yeah

 

Cus I want you on my skin

And I wanna make you scream

And I will fight you tooth and nail

Cus I want you to win

I want you on my skin

 

I want your belt around your ankles

And I want your grasp around my neck

Wanna feel the burn of bleeding scratches

As your eyes roll in your head

 

I think we might lose our minds today

And I think we might bruise our hearts this way

Oh yeah

 

Cus I want you on my skin

And I wanna make you scream

And I will fight you tooth and nail

Cus I want you to win

I want you on my skin

NOTHING

By Freya Wilcox

Nobody tells you it will all change

Your brow will furrow

Your love will wane

You can never go home without the deep sting of pain

And why would they tell you this

 

Cus I waited for you

And I waited to prove

 

That I've got

Nothing - Nothing

I've got nothing for you

Nothing - Nothing

I got something for

Nothing - Nothing

I want nothing from you

Nothing - Nothing

I've got nothing to lose

 

Nobody tells you the old friends will die

And you'll only remember your last

Scrap in their eyes

You'll slowly forget them

But not if you try

And how could they tell you this?

 

Cus I've waited to show

And I've waited to know

 

That I've got

Nothing - Nothing

I've got nothing for you

Nothing - Nothing

I got something for

Nothing - Nothing

I want nothing from you

Nothing - Nothing

I've got nothing to lose

 

Nobody tells you you'll seethe and resent

The rich man for smiling

The weak who repent

And the fever keeps crawling

With no-one's consent

And how would they tell you this?

 

Cus I waited for you

And I waited to prove

 

That I've got

Nothing - Nothing

I've got nothing for you

Nothing - Nothing

I got something for

Nothing - Nothing

I want nothing from you

Nothing - Nothing

I've got nothing to lose

 

Kill Me

By Freya Wilcox

She's the wave that took me from my place

And she smashed worm glass across my face

Kiss m through a cloud of mace 

And all will be forgiven

 

And she's the sun that burns my eyes

With sharpened tongue and grated sighs

Pluck my dreams out of the sky

And tear them all wide open

 

Cus I think that she might kill me

But I need her to breathe

I know it's easier to go

But I need her to breathe

 

She's the fire that rages red

And drops the bombshells in my bed

Oh I hope I don't wake up dead

Before I scream for mercy

 

And she's the beat that keeps my heart

My winning finish my false start

Oh the song that stretches nerves apart

And sews them back together

 

Cus I think that she might kill me

But I need her to breathe

I know it's easier to go

But I need her to breathe

 

She freed my heart

She feeds the blame

And slowly washes

All the pain

From one hand to another

From one hand to another

From one hand to another

 

Cus I think that she might kill me

But I need her to breathe

I know it's easier to go

But I - I need her to bleed

All in

By Craig Shay

We played drinking games with each other's hearts

From the ground it's hard to see the stars

When your hair obscures your face

My darling it's such a waste

 

There's a lotto ticket in your bed

I know you were playing me instead

But I know you've empty pockets

You've got your hands on your ears

When I'm begging you to stop it

 

Just cus you're all in

Doesn't mean you're gunna win

You're all in

 

When you're wearing all of my clothes

You're leaving me way out in the cold

Get that hair out of your face

Cheap lipstick cheapens the taste

 

Well I'm bluffing I can't tell if you are

You keep crying and taking it too far

Broken bottles, empty glasses on the floor

I hear you scream as you're asking for more

 

Well I caught you in another hundred lies

You keep smiling as you're wasting all my time

I'm begging you to stop it

But you think I can't feel your hands in my pocket

When I'm begging you to stop it

 

Just cus you're all in

Doesn't mean you're gunna win

You're all in

Wears me down

By Freya Wilcox

These pills that I forget to take

That bend me till my body shakes

Bare my teeth, and my heart flakes to nothing

 

The thoughts that slip into my head

That keep me seething in my bed

And shed the skin I though I'd scratched to nothing

 

And it wears me down to nothing

And it wears me down to me

 

The beauty I forget to see

That walks in step with haunted dreams

And serves my memories up for free

For nothing

 

The love that I neglect to make

That bends me till my bones they shake

Scratch the skin

And my heart flakes to nothing

 

And it wears me down to nothing

And it wears me down to me

 

Leaving

By Freya Wilcox & Craig Shay

Honey I've lost myself

You don't know the feeling

And I've never known much else

I've been in pain for so long

I'd rather be strung up

Than dragged along

 

Cus I've been waiting for you to come to me

And you've been waiting for somthing that I'll never be

 

You just don't love me no more

Cus I'm losing my mind and it's killing us all

I make you feel insane

Cus you can't make no sense of my gaslighting games

 

We've both been working so hard

I'll be asleep by the time that you

Get in your car

And I saw that fire in your eyes

Oh when you screamed and you screamed

That you don't have the time

 

And my heart's littered with some things that you'll never see

And you've been begging for something that I'll never be

 

You just can't love me no more

Cus I'm losing my mind and it's killing us all

I make you feel insane

Cus you can't make no sense of my gaslighting games

 

I'm leaving town

I'm getting out

There was a price and there's always been

You'll leave a note

When you let go

Saying that you deserve better than

 

My ribs have punctured my lungs

Because I've been laughing and laughing

At what I've become

You made me such a tough hide

If you hadn't have fought me

I wouldn't have chosen a side

We all come clean in the end

Cus we can't keep on squirming around

In the thick of the scent

And you've been afraid for so long

But you'd rather be strung

Strung up

Than dragged along

 

And my heart's littered with some things that you'll never see

And you've been waiting for something that I'll never be

 

I'm leaving town

I'm getting out

There was a price and there's always been

You'll leave a note

When you let go

Saying that you deserve better than

 

I'm leaving town to leave you

I'm leaving I don't need you

 

You would do the same for me

By Freya Wilcox

Somewhere in New Jersey my heart took a break to beat

And as time was fucking money, well she smiled and said 'we'll see'

You'll never see the forest while you're stuck inside your greed

As you wait for your life to be long

 

And I'll lie to your face

And I'll lead you astray

And I'll give you away

Oh but honey

You would do the same for me

 

Nothing works out till you work out what you're doing wrong

And there's nothing left to gain when you hide secrets in your songs

Lying is a game we play that helps us all belong

As you wait for what you will become

 

And I'll lie to your face

And I'll lead you astray

And I'll give you away

Oh but honey

You would do the same for me

 

Nothing else will change your ways until your voice is gone

And we are not mistaken, we've been herded up and stung

The only thing you see are these ideals to which you've clung

As you wait for you life to be gone

 

And I'll lie to your face

And I'll lead you astray

And I'll give you away

Oh but honey

Don't we all do things for money

Such bad things for money

And you'd do the same for me

Freightliner

By Craig Shay

You hit me like a freightliner

You hit me like a freightliner

You will never be what I wanted

 

So I'll leave you at the station

Say that I was stuck in immigration

There's a song that plays in my head

There is someone that I want instead of

 

You hit me like a freightliner

You hit me like a freightliner

You will never be what I wanted

 

They put arrows in our skin

And we keep pushing those barbs further in

Blind archers shoot at night

Cus they won't see me in the morning

 

And you hit me like a freightliner

You hit me like a freightliner

You will never be what I wanted

Bitter end

By Freya Wilcox

Well I hope that when we die it's fucking over

Cus I won't do this shit over again

It's cruel enough that we're just growing older

And I'd like to know that there's a bitter end

 

Cus I won't believe

That I won't be free

 

Well I hope that when I'm gone you'll hold my mother

And tell her that I'm better off this way

Cus I never liked the dawning of new troubles

And I hated that old day job anyway

 

Cus I won't believe

That I won't ever leave

 

Well take my blue guitar down to the water

You know I won't be playing anyway

Because you know that I've been living on the border

Of life and death where sore minds go astray

 

But I won't believe

That I'm not allowed to leave

 

Well I hope that when we die it's fucking over

Cus I won't do this shit over again

Cus I know I can't live in heaven sober

And I don't wanna fry in hell without my friends

 

Cus I won't believe

That I won't be free

And I can't believe

That I won't ever leave

Cus I don't believe

 

Bareknuckle love lyrics

 

Bury me

By Freya Wilcox

You don't ask for nothing

You don't want for much

You don't need me all that much

You don't cry forever

You don't hate my guts

You don't even know my...

 

Oh and I wait for you to leave

Oh but you sit there laughing at me

Oh and I say I'm like your disease

Oh but you never get rid of me

And I know it wouldn't be

The same without you please

 

You bury me

 

You don't want for nothing

You don't ask for much

You just smile at my bad luck

You don't cry forever

When I drink too much

You don't stomp out all my fun

 

Oh and I wait for you to leave

Oh but you sit there laughing at me

Oh and I say I'm like your disease

Oh but you never get rid of me

And I know it wouldn't be

The same without you please

 

You bury me

 

I don't care

By Freya Wilcox

Woke up this morning with you in my bed - in my bed

And that guilt it grabbed me and screamed inside my head

And I was hoping this was dead - it's not dead

But that kiss when you're lonely can take all that was said

 

I told you that it's fair - it's not fair

And I told you that I care

 

But I don't care

 

I hear you breathing and all I see is red - I see red

And how could I forget to take my meds - my head

I just want a cigarette - but I can't

And you just want me to forget

 

I told you that it's fair - it's not fair

And I told you that I care

 

But I don't care

 

Dirty Song

By Freya Wilcox

The hearts walk out and I'm on time

You're filled up with red, red wine

The things you're thinking, I think you'll find

Aren't true

The things you say, you've heard before

When you hear my boots knocking on your floor

You'll never have to ask for more

From me

 

I love the way you move your lips, you twist

When your tongue wraps 'round my wits

That whiplash smile means I can barely breathe

I love the part where it starts

When we tear each other's hearts

I will give you something to scream about

 

Dirty voice from dirty lungs

You're stealing words from beneath my tongue

But you know that I'm not the one for you

You've worn my crown, now you're begging for change

The key is in so unlock my cage

And I will give half of myself to you

 

I love the way you move your lips, you twist

When your tongue wraps 'round my wits

That whiplash smile means I can barely breathe

I love the part where it starts

When we tear each other's hearts

I will give you something to scream about

 

Easier to lie

By Freya Wilcox

Well I had nothing left to lose

But I found myself still losing

Found myself still choosing

To come back home to you

And I had nothing left to say

But I found myself still hoping

Found myself still groping

For pleasure in my pain

 

And I don't know why you bother

When I can see that indifference in your eyes

I don't know why it matters

Cus baby I

Know it's easier to lie

 

Well I drove away from this 

So I couldn't see you fuming

I couldn't see you grooming

For another lover's kiss

And I smoked 10 cigarettes

Before my hands they started shaking

Heart it started breaking

Who's going to want me next

 

And I don't know why you bother

When I can see that indifference in your eyes

I've been bruised and I've been battered

But baby I

Know it's harder just to cry

 

Well my old friend told me so

She said I hope you're got the money

To buy you enough whiskey

To get yourself through this

Oh and I'll just have to wait

Cus it never gets much better

Just harder to remember

The way we were each day

 

And I don't know why you bother

When I can see those scars are in your eyes

I don't know why it matters

Cus baby I

Know it's easier to lie

 

Fight for you

By Freya Wilcox

I was the one to tear the hole in your pocket

As soon as you asked me I told you I'd lost it

And I was the thinker that dreamt up your plan

Said I'd let you right in, I'd let you be a man

I went to the fields where old men had fought 

For your slapdash ideals

But I kept on running

And I kept on waiting

To find out if you really know what you're saying

 

When you said

When you said to me

When you said

I don't remember a thing and

 

I will not fight for you

So I scream for you

 

Now I'm flying back to my city

And I think of your eyes, so mean and so gritty

I laid down my hands and gave you the cards

I gave you my cigarettes, I gave you my heart

But nothing seems real when you're waiting for something

That's so hard to steal

But I kept on running

And I'm still waiting

To find me a reason to keep this voice from grating

 

Once you said

Once you said

Once you said

I don't remember

 

I will not fight for you

So I scream for you

Dirt music lyrics

 

You would do the same for me

By Freya Wilcox

Somewhere in New Jersey my heart took a break to beat

And as time was fucking money, well she smiled and said 'we'll see'

You'll never see the forest while you're stuck inside your greed

As you wait for your life to be long

 

And I'll lie to your face

And I'll lead you astray

And I'll give you away

Oh but honey

You would do the same for me

 

Nothing's gunna change till you know just why you're wrong

And there's nothing left to gain when you hide secrets in your songs

Lying is a game we play that helps us all belong

As you wait for what you will become

 

And I'll lie to your face

And I'll lead you astray

And I'll give you away

Oh but honey

You would do the same for me

 

Nothing else will change your ways until your voice is gone

And we are not mistaken, we've been herded up and stung

The only thing you see are these ideals to which you've clung

As you wait for you life to be gone

 

And I'll lie to your face

And I'll lead you astray

And I'll give you away

Oh but honey

Don't we all do things for money

Such bad things for money

And you'd do the same for me

 

Sickness

By Freya Wilcox

I can feel the darkness creeping in

It's under my hair, it's under my skin

And I can feel the sickness crawling in to me

 

I can feel your deep kiss moving in

You've got the crime and I've got the sin

And I can see that mean twist falling from your grin

 

But I've got you wrapped around my finger

And I've got you bent around my love

 

I can feel a deep breath dragging in

It's filling me up to the breakneck brim

And I can feel your weakness falling in to me

 

And I can feel your hard hips ramming in 

You're on my back and you're under my skin

When I can feel your sickness sliding into me

 

Cus I've got you wrapped around my finger

And I've got you bent around my love
