Vixoria Drift - Vivid album lyrics

---------------Track 1: The Phoenix (Intro)---------------

I remember when I was a little girl
Our house caught on fire
I'll never forget the look on my father's face
As he gathered me up in his arms
And raced through the burning building onto the pavement
And I stood there shivering in my pajamas
And watched the whole world go up in flames
And when it was all over I said to myself
"Is that all there is to a fire?"
Is that all there is?

I know what you must be saying to yourselves
"If that's the way she feels about it, why doesn't she just end it all?"
Oh, no. Not me
I'm not ready for that final disappointment
Cause I know just as well as I'm standing here talking to you
That when that final moment comes and I'm breathing my last breath,
I'll be saying to myself

Can't promise that things won't be broken
But I swear that I will never leave (I will never leave)
Please stay forever with me (me)

I won't be held down
By who I used to be
She's nothing to me (me, me, me, me)

---------------Track 2: Live, Die, Live, Die (Let's Be More Than In Another Life)---------------

I've been waiting
I've been waiting for this moment all my life
But it's not quite right
And this "real"
It's impossible, if possible, at whose blind word?
So clear, but so unheard

In another life
God is it fun, when you can have more than one
Let’s make the most of the night like we’re gonna die young
Before you know it, it’s done
Let’s be more than in another life
God is it fun, when you can have more than one
Let’s make the most of the night like we’re gonna die young
Before you know it, it’s done
Let’s be more than this

I've been waiting
I've been waiting for this silence all night long
It's just a matter of time
To appear sad
With the same ol' decent lazy eye fixed to rest on you
Aim free, but so untrue

But in another life
God is it fun, when you can have more than one
Let’s make the most of the night like we’re gonna die young
Before you know it, it’s done
Let’s be more than in another life
God is it fun, when you can have more than one
Let’s make the most of the night like we’re gonna die young
Before you know it, it’s done
Let’s be more than this

If I could write a letter to Heaven
I would tell my mama that I shoulda been listenin'
And I would tell her sorry that I really been wildin'
And ask her to forgive me, 'cause I really been tryin'
And I would ask please, show me who been real
And get 'em from around me if they all been fake
It's crazy how I say the same prayers to the Lord
And always get surprised about who he take, man
I'm really thinkin' 'bout dialin' 9-1-1 'til I freak
'Cause they probably won't think it's that deep
And I don't do drugs, so I never get a time when I'm at ease
I can't even handle smokin' weed
Marilyn Monroe, my favorite ho
My favorite bad bitch, I think she the GOAT
Jammin' to Britney, singin' to Whitney
I just wan' talk to somebody that get me (somebody that get me, somebody that get me)

In another life
God is it fun, when you can have more than one
Let’s make the most of the night like we’re gonna die young
Before you know it, it’s done
Let’s be more than in another life
God is it fun, when you can have more than one
Let’s make the most of the night like we’re gonna die young
Before you know it, it’s done
Let’s be more than this

---------------Track 3: Remembered I’m Bad At Love---------------

We were good, we were gold
Kinda dream that can't be sold
We were right 'til we weren't
Built a home and watched it burn

Mm, I didn't wanna leave you, I didn't wanna lie
Started to cry, but then remembered—

I'm bad at love (Ooh-ooh)
But you can't blame me for tryin'
You know I'd be lyin' sayin'
You were the one (Ooh-ooh)
That could finally fix me
Lookin' at my history
I'm bad at love

Can love me better, I can love me better, baby
Can love me better, I can love me better, baby

Paint my nails cherry-red
Match the roses that you left
No remorse, no regret
I forgive every word you said

Ooh, I didn't wanna leave you, I didn't wanna lie
Started to cry, but then remembered—

I'm bad at love (Ooh-ooh)
But you can't blame me for tryin'
You know I'd be lyin' sayin'
You were the one (Ooh-ooh)
That could finally fix me
Lookin' at my history

I'm bad at love (Owner of a lonely heart)
Oh, you know, you know, you know, you know (Owner of a lonely heart)

(Much better than a)
I'm bad at love (Owner of a broken heart)
I'm bad at love (Owner of a lonely heart)

You think you got the best of me
Think you've had the last laugh
Bet you think that everything good is gone
Think you left me broken down
Think that I'll come running back
Baby, you don't know me, 'cause you're dead wrong

But that was just a dream
Try, cry, why try?
That was just a dream
Just a dream, just a dream

Sleep now in the fire
Then I feel nothing
Sleep now in the fire (Needle in the hay, needle in the hay, needle in the hay)
Then I feel nothing (Needle in the hay)

You know I'm bad at love (Ooh-ooh)
But you can't blame me for tryin'
You know I'd be lyin' sayin'
You were the one (Ooh-ooh)
That could finally fix me
Lookin' at my history

I'm bad at love (Owner of a lonely heart)
Oh, you know, you know, you know, you know (Owner of a lonely heart)

(Much better than a)
I'm bad at love (Owner of a broken heart)
Ohhhh (Owner of a lonely heart)

I just wanna feel everything
I just wanna feel everything

---------------Track 4: I Really Like You! (Who Gives A F**k?)---------------

I really wanna stop, but I just got the taste for it
I feel like I could fly with the boy on the moon
So honey, hold my hand, you like making me wait for it
I feel like I could die walking up to the room, oh yeah

Late night watching television
But how'd we get in this position?
It's way too soon, I know this isn't love

Lay this to rest
I really, really, really, really, really, really like you
And I want you, do you want me, do you—(Who gives a f***?)
I really, really, really, really, really, really like you
Destroy yourself!

Oh, did I say too much?
You're better alone, destroy yourself, see who gives a f***
I really, really, really, really, really, really like you
And I want you, do you want me, do you want me too?

It's like everything you say is a sweet revelation
All I wanna do is get into your head
Yeah, we could stay alone
You and me, and this temptation
Sipping on your lips, hanging on by a thread, baby

Late night watching television
But how'd we get in this position?
It's way too soon, I know this isn't love (Love)

Lay this to rest (Yeah!)
I really, really, really, really, really, really like you
And I want you, do you want me, do you—(Who gives a f***?)
I really, really, really, really, really, really like you
Destroy yourself!

Oh, did I say too much?
You're better alone, destroy yourself, see who gives a f***
I really, really, really, really, really, really like you
And I want you, do you want me, do you want me too?

Yeah! I really, really, really, really, really, really like you
(like you, like you, like you, like you, like you)

With the lips of an angel
The-the boy's a liar, the boy's a liar
The-the boy's a liar, the boy's a liar (Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
The-the boy's a liar, the boy's a liar (Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)

You know that I want you
And you know that I need you
I want it bad, your bad—
Lay this to rest

(Will o' the wisp)
(Will o' the wisp)

You want someone you can show off
Whenever you go out
She'll wear a tight mini black dress
With all her friends around
And then you'll probably spend the night at
Her nice big house
And by then I'll just be someone
You've forgotten about

---------------Track 5: I Didn’t Like The Ending---------------

I'm staring at a broken door
There's nothing left here anymore
My room is cold
It's making me insane

I've been waiting here so long
But now the moment seems to have come
I see the dark clouds coming up again

I think I've seen this film before
And I didn't like the ending
You're not my homeland anymore
So what am I defending now?
You were my town, now I'm in exile, seein' you out
I think I've seen this film before

(Yeah) That’s what the baddest do, it’s crazy

A half-moon’s fading from my sight
I see your vision in its light
But now it's gone and left me so alone
I know I have to find you now
Can hear your name, I don't know how
Why can't we make this darkness feel like home?

I think I've seen this film before
And I didn't like the ending
You're not my homeland anymore
So what am I defending now?
You were my town, now I'm in exile, seein' you out
I think I've seen this film before
So I'm leavin' out the side door

So step right out, there is no amount
Of crying I can do for you
All this time
We always walked a very thin line
You didn't even hear me out (Didn't even hear me out)
You never gave a warning sign (I gave so many signs)
All this time
I never learned to read your mind (Never learned to read my mind)
I couldn't turn things around (You never turned things around)
'Cause you never gave a warning sign (I gave so many signs)

All this time (So many times)
I never learned to read your mind (So many signs)
I couldn't turn things around (I couldn't turn things around)
'Cause you never gave a warning sign (You never gave a warning sign)

Nobody waits for me
Nobody takes from me
Nobody waits for me
Nobody takes from me

Hey, sorry I missed your call, but just leave a message after the beep
Hey, it's me
It's tough right now
But it'll get better, right?
Call me

---------------Track 6: Through The Fire (Interlude)---------------

Yeah
Ooh ooh ooh
In this town called Malice

Anyone can start again
Not through love, but through revenge
Through the fire, we're born again
Peace by vengeance brings the end

---------------Track 7: Won’t Be Torn To Shreds---------------

I don't believe in cutting corners
Own it like a scar on the face
Stand tall whether taking the gold or in last place
Not really the one to give God praise
But if you got the gospel then tell me how it taste
Hallelujah

Biting on the bullet for strength
I'm a long distance runner sucker
I'm in it for length, huh
It's not a matter of whether or not you can play
But a scale of if you give a f*** enough to make a statement

Lay it down
Separate the men from the mice
Another body under halogen lights missing its life
Wondering what the hell would make you think that
You could judge another person for loving something so much it hurts the stomach

Living by the blood in my neck
With a bullseye tatted on the back of my head
I never spoke it how they wanted it to be said
So they left me for the winter and the wolves

Run baby run

I don't believe in sitting down
Take it like a knife in the back
You burnt out into nothing after striking a match
I've never been the type to follow the pack
So if it's true you got the answers
Then why the hell you so mad then?

Another holy ghost laid script
Clipped the wings off of my words
And buried the shiv
They want to pick apart the passion in my ribs
I invite them
Cause I don't run away from shit

Lay it out
Separate the guns and the flowers
The minutes that go into all these hours
And I bet if you were given a smidgen of just the tip of the iceberg
I've had to struggle with
You wouldn't act so sour, maybe not

Livin off the fruit of my stress
With a size twelve boot heel stepping on my chest
Didn't do it how they wanted it to end
So they threw me to the winter and wolves

Run baby run, don't ever look back
They'll tear us apart if you give them the chance (Give them the chance)
Don't sell your heart, don't say we're not meant to be
Run baby run, forever we'll be
You and me
You and me
You and me

---------------Track 8: Say You'll Never Get Over Me---------------

I've got fire for a heart, I'm not scared of the dark
You've never seen it look so easy
I got a river for a soul, and, baby, you're a boat
Baby, you're my only reason

If I didn't have you, there would be nothing left
The shell of a man who could never be his best
If I didn't have you, I'd never see the sun
You taught me how to be someone, yeah

You'll never learn to fly now ‘til you're standing at the cliff
And you can't truly love until you've given up on it

Oh, you don't mean nothing at all to me (When we’re together)
No, you don't mean nothing at all to me (In the heat of pleasure)
Do you got what it takes to set me free? (Always feel you near)
So say the words I long to hear
“Heaven knows I ain’t getting over you”

I've got fire for a heart, I'm not scared of the dark
You've never seen it look so easy
I got a river for a soul, and baby, you're a boat
Baby, you're my only reason

If I didn't have you there would be nothing left (Nothing left)
The shell of a man who could never be his best (Be his best)
If I didn't have you, I'd never see the sun (See the sun)
You taught me how to be someone, yeah

You'll never learn to fly now ‘til you're standing at the cliff
And you can't truly love until you've given up on it

Oh, you don't mean nothing at all to me (When we’re together)
No, you don't mean nothing at all to me (In the heat of pleasure)
Do you got what it takes to set me free? (Always feel you near)
So say the words I long to hear
“Heaven knows I ain’t getting over you”

We'll try again
When we're not so different
We will make amends
'Til then I'll just pretend

I'm waiting and fading and floating away
Waiting and fading and floating away
Waiting and fading and floating away
Waiting and fading—

We're so full of
Sugar, honey, ice, and tea (When we’re together)
Sugar, honey, ice, and tea (In the heat of pleasure)
Oh, you don't mean nothing at all to me (I can stay away if you want me to)
You don't mean nothing at all to me (Heaven knows I ain't getting over you)

---------------Track 9: Everybody’s Singing (Interlude)---------------

(I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like)

Now everybody's singing la, la la la, la la la
Now everybody's singing la, la la la, la la la
Now everybody's singing la, la la la, la la la
Now everybody's singing la, la la la, la la la
Now everybody's singing la, la la la, la la la
Now everybody's singing la, la la la, la la la

Now everybody's singing la la la
Silly girl, take your jacket off
Get off the floor
Get up, get up
I'm talkin' to you, get the f*** up!

---------------Track 10: Pass The White Flag---------------

I've been hiding from the world and I need to re-enter
And then, the funniest thing happened

Sink until you're unimpaired
Slow motion like a rolling eye
We can hear you loud and clear
Suicide season is upon and high
Why you always saying, "Let the good times roll"?
Kick your mind open like a punk rock show
Uppercut, bleeding through the soffit nose
If you didn't come home injured, would you say it was a good show?

'Cause every single f***ing day
I try to roll my eyes and breathe

Heartache to heartache
We stand
No promises, no demands
Love is a battlefield
(This is only a distraction)

Swing, batter up, let's play
Powеr until the target bleeds
This gun would never turn on me
So, Paul Meany, will you drop that beat
Why you always saying, "Let that shit go"?
Pennywise fashion on a sad skid row
A gentrified neighborhood of blood-soaked homes
Draw the lines a little further, now they're coming back to get you

'Cause every single f***ing day
I try to roll my eyes and breathe

Heartache to heartache
We stand
No promises, no demands
Love is a battlefield
We are strong
No one can tell us we're wrong
Searching our hearts for so long
Both of us knowing
Love is a battlefield

I'm so numb and the air so cold
Didn't wanna lie to you, please don't go
I'm a f***ing devil, n****, I already know
Break this f***ing phone, then away I go
I’m so done with the way she be
At the same time it’s because of me
Girl, I see I'm the one with the key, (uh, uh)

We are young
Heartache to heartache
We stand
No promises, no demands
Love is a battlefield
We are strong
No one can tell us we're wrong
Searching our hearts for so long
Both of us knowing
Love is a battlefield

I'm so numb and the air so cold
Didn't wanna lie to you, please don't go
I'm a f***ing devil, n****, I already know
Break this f***ing phone, then away I go
I’m so done with the way she be
At the same time it’s because of me
Girl, I see I'm the one with the key

---------------Track 11: One Last Sunset---------------

I live my life in the city
And there's no easy way out
The day's moving just too fast for me
I need some time in the sunshine
I've gotta slow it right down
The day's moving just too fast for me (Oh)

Set me free, why don'tcha, baby?
Get out my life, why don'tcha, baby?
'Cause you don't really love me
You just keep me hanging on
And the shadow of the day will embrace the world in gray
And the sun will set for you
(Ooh)

I live my life in the city
And there's no easy way out
The day's moving just too fast for me
I need some time in the sunshine
I've gotta slow it right down
The day's moving just too fast for me (Oh)

(Hey) Set me free, why don'tcha, baby?
Let me be, why don'tcha, baby?
'Cause you don't really love me
You just keep me hanging on
And the shadow of the day will embrace the world in gray
And the sun will set for you

(Ooh)
If you love me
Then let go of me

If you love me
Then let go of me (Ooh-woo, ooh)
‘Cause you don't really love me
You just keep me hanging on
If you love me
Then let go of me (Ooh-woo, ooh)
Now, you don't really want me
You just keep me hanging on

(Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright)
(They just seem a little weird)
(Surrender, surrender)
(But don't give yourself away)

And the shadow of the day will embrace the world in gray
And the sun will set for you (who I used to be)

---------------Track 12: The Ashes (Outro)---------------

I know, I know you must follow the sun
Wherever it leads
But remember
If you should fall short of your desires
Remember life holds for you one guarantee
You'll always have me
And if you should miss my lovin'
One of these old days
If you should ever miss the arms
That used to hold you so close
Or the lips that used to touch yours so tenderly
Just remember what I told you
The day I set you free

Is that all there is?
