Elixir Lyrics:
Unwoken Fast Asleep
Mind control afraid to speak
Regret cold memories
I’ve known them for too long
Dependant comatose
Anaemic overdose
You woke a part of me I didn’t know
Chorus
Hey, go down with me x 3
Be my Elixir
I can’t afford to sleep
Your taste so sickly sweet
Insomnia for me
Come fill me with your wrong
Addicted no control
Indulgence fix my soul
You woke a part of me I didn’t know
Universal Female
Found a girl she lives in my coffee
Swimming round addicted to caffeine
Look at her she looks so happy now now yeah
Perfect life hunger devotion
Hooked on dreams tired of emotions
Look in her eyes blacker than oceans now now yeah
Innocence is bliss
Hard born optimist
She’s a universal female
Going round in a carousel
Complicated she’s misread
Complex and timeless
She’s a universal female x2
She drags around a corpse called progress
Has it made up apron and a dress
With a for sale sign but she’s priceless now now yeah
Silent protest mute this madness
Regress repress swipe away sadness
Can’t Go Back
Ooh ooh ooh
Build it with matches one by one
Light it up and watch it burn
Collect the ashes in this urn
Label it for sale and profit
I’ve been watching you through the lens
Through all the storm and static
Getting crowded here on the ledge
One more should do the damage
Don’t give it away give it away just remember x2
You Can’t Go Back x2
You can rage you can cry you can break you can try stan still
But you’re spinning around
You can’t Go Back
Thickness of life is icy thin
There only is this moment
The domino wall is caving in
Quantum leap and hand break
Realise
You say you got it
You say you got it bad
Bad enough to give up on everything that you had
You say you need it
You say you’ll bleed somehow
Drain the blood and watch the colours fade til lights go out
Lights go out
Second chance second skin never gonna let you in
Second chance second skin never gonna let you win
You say you feel it
You say you feel it more
More than anybody what is it you’re fighting for
You try and breath it
You try and breath it in
Maybe consuming it will give you back control again
Control again
Prechorus
Chorus
I think you’ve had enough
I know you’re not this tough
I think you’ve had enough
Host
Not enough love inside this bed
Not enough space inside my head
Cut you open let me in
You’re rising heat from my frozen
I love and hate you almost
This two-faced feeling it chokes
I love and hate you almost
You’re my host
Chorus
I’m giving you life or death
I give you everything I have
Take all of me
I’m giving you life or death
I give you everything I have
Take all of me x2
Always this fear I’ll let you win
Stare into space I’m blindfolded
No losing myself under attack
No losing my mind no holding back
