Lily Alexandre - Sharp Enough Lily Alexandre 2018-06-12 | Hey, I’m sorry that I haven’t texted backThis summer hasn’t gone quite the way that I expectedI hope you understandI up and left her place, if you can call her apartment thatBut passed out on the cold concrete front stepI dreamt I walked to you, on emptiest of streets downtownGuided only by a sun that doesn’t set, butThis city wasn’t built to walk around inYou think you’re safe until you feel the wind that’s breathing down your neckAnd I’ve seen you ravaged - in real life - by Parc avenue far too many timesTo trust us as an exploration teamBeen stranded in so many bathrooms by so many guysI’ve convinced myself I know best what I needSo I’m finding solace in new places latelyLate nights in beds of people I don’t loveI like to make them all feel heavy when they’re with meThat way, they get it when I buckle upReally, you’re lucky I don’t want you,I love you too much to grind my teeth on youYou’re too easy to hold, form-fitted and warmYou’re a blanket that plugs inAnd I miss you, but I can’t see you right nowI need to keep my eyes shut in the coldLest I fall in love with a brand new time of yearAnd I love you, but your teeth ain’t sharp enoughThat I know I’m doing right by you when I sleep on your pullout bedI fear that it’ll hurt you if I spend the night againThe last thing I want is to drain what’s left of my rosy cheeks through youI’m not quite ready to be that human'Cause you are tender in ways you are not aware ofI only notice 'cause I'm used to being scaredI wanna be there to hear you mumble while you're speakingI want you to be there when I walk into the sea

Lily Alexandre - Reduction (lo-fi indie song by me) Lily Alexandre 2017-01-14 | A quick song_______LYRICSThe only natural thing is to believeAnd all I want for you is not to beI figured you would hurt, I expected swaying branchesI planned for stormy skies and wavy seasI cracked the ice to find something much warmer there’Cause bodies almost always give off heatSomeone tied my hair and taught to swimAnd all I want for you is not to beAnd all I want for you is not to beAnd all I want for you is not to be_______http://twitter.com/lily_lxndr
Lily Alexandre - No Heat (demo) Lily Alexandre 2016-12-27 | LYRICS Make me afraidI will get down on my kneesTopple me and I’ll fall to your feetScream into my ear, I will prayI never thought it would be like this,I never thought I would come toThrough artifacts of a heat I missedA sun that I can look up toYou speak a tongue I don’t speak, I guessAnd count to five even numbersYou take the time you’re in need ofYou’re taking just what i needYou’re taking just what I needWords can’t explain what I thought that we hadLet it all in, can’t let it end too soonYou were a mirror, your skin coloured silverYou lit me up cause I let dawn in the roomI woke up with no heat in my legsI opened my eyes as you spokeI climbed to my side of the bedIn puddles of sweat, I found warmthI felt right at home in a holeA strange little void dug for usWe had to take a break to turn the heat downYou chill my veins, you chill my bloodI can’t explain what I thought that we hadLet it all in, can’t let it end too soonYou were a mirror, but your skin wasn’t silverYou lit me up cause I let dawn in the roomWatch me fade from your eyes and break into blossomThe coldest of ice is sinking to the bottomYou drank shaken and dry, I drank straight from the bottleI put on my disguise and sat quiet as you choked
