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 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

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
