National Anthem 9,904 Posted September 15, 2015 I love Kitty Kat, "don't kitty kitty cat me like I'm just your pussy" and the thrashing instrumental just makes it so badass. Need Myself is good as hell too, "can I get up off of my knees, and find a rhythm for my own" feminist anthem. And yes I love the production on To Get By, it's so hypnotizing. The only song that I wasn't really feeling was the opener, but that changed. The last three are just so perfect omg, I listen to those three on repeat so often. The four that we had prior to release remain gold too! I hope they grow on me and become late favorites of mine also just actually listened straight through Systems on Apple Music and it's so effing goooooood all the production and vocals are perfect here too, she is everything 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sitar 22,214 Posted September 16, 2015 There were comments (like minutes after she first posted it) saying she copied this video but whatever, the song, her music in general, is better so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Hit 3 pages on LanaBoards so I had to listen. Loved the album! 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Same, I asked but I don't really have an answer yet either lmao I'd say it's sort of a 5-way tie between the first 5 tracks as my favorite. I honestly enjoy every song a whole lot. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
comeintomybedroom 8,657 Posted September 29, 2015 Updated with lyrics in the CD booklet~ Everything Is You Should I be afraid? You don't seem to be All I want to be is you Can I make it clear? You are everything Everything is you Don't tell me who I am You know the circles I run in Don't try to be this man Let me stay, let me stay if I want to Feeding from your hand Like an ordinary body part Try to be this man Let me stay, let me stay if I want to Should I be afraid? Everything I do Is because of you Am I standing still? I can feel my feet moving Without me You are everything Everything is you Water Water Water, water is for washing Vino Tinto is for drinking I hate when you get too high sometimes And forget about existing All the simple silhouettes in here Make me nervous in my insides Take my outsides for a ride Any shape that you can twist them into tonight Water, water is a privilege Just like kids who go to college There's a ring around your mouth now Where you used to whisper knowledge I miss all the things about you When you're dreaming of an outlet Take me with you when you trip next It's so beautiful to see you When no one's watching You're just a heart to hold You're easy to impress I want to care much more But I'm feeling less awake You're just a heart to break Easy to manipulate I want to care much more But I'm feeling less and less Standard I've been living below the standard With a hunger that feeds the fire I've been eyeing your plate of diamonds With an envy that kills the pride See this solstice that lived before you Wasn't easy to let die Tell me what you see See in the mirror when you're feeling restless Do you see a man who isn't there Living for the sake of living I can promise you no one cares I've been living below the standard While you struggle being home and bored Am I an addict or am I a reject You always keep me coming back for more See, the distance that comes between us Isn't measured by the weight of gold Tell me what you see See in the mirror when you're feeling restless Do you see a man who isn't there Living for the sake of living I can promise you no one cares How Do You Do It Like a nail in the wood Build this house from nothing Now I stand where I've stood Welling up with something I feel great, I feel good What a long time coming I forgot that I could Let someone fulfill me How do you do it? Like this, like that Oh how when you do it? When you drive me mad All my dreams take on shape When you whisper my name When your eyes, tell my eyes You've been wanting the same To let go of your touch Would be too much for me Let the roots dig in deep When you hold my body How do you do it? To Get By Got to get High to get By without you Falling in love With the same old drug I'm drifting away Drifting in two Got to get High to get By without you Got to say Say to myself Self wake up Falling apart With a broken heart I'm drifting away Drifting in two Got to get High to get By without you Kitty Kat Don't take me by the hand And walk me through with pity If I was a man Would you still do the same? I'm fending for myself When you still call me pretty Let me walk away Don't kitty kitty kat me Like I'm just your pussy Any other night You'd treat me just the same I'm fending for myself When you still call me pretty Let me walk away Need Myself I don't need this now Not from you I'm lying to myself When I'm laying next to you I'm making love to myself When I'm making love to you I can hear you grind your teeth When you're laying fast asleep I think I'm the one I need Be unhappy with you Or be bad alone I just need myself To love myself Can we stop watching the TV? Can I get up off of my knees? And find a rhythm for my own And find a reason to leave home Be unhappy with you Or be bad alone I just need myself To love myself Make Up Nothing comes between us But a piece of latex When you tear my clothes off Like I was a paycheck I don't have to fake it Don't have to wear make up You say that I'm pretty Pretty when I wake up Why don't we make up our own rules And break them when we like Shake me off the branch And take the biggest bite I don't have a t-shirt Better than you fit me In my lowest moments You know how to lift me Somehow it's that easy Easy when you please me Kiss off all my lipstick I don't have to fix it Why don't we make up our own rules And break them when we like Shake me off the branch And take the biggest bite Can we make it up? Threat On the brink of losing my voice I just want to make a sound I don't wanna feel so alone But I do when you're not around All the sympathy makes it easy Easy to forget, forgive Forget where you came from 'Cause our memories are a threat 'Cause our memories have a breath Every moment awake I bite More than I can chew Give my eyes a bit of your sun To look into all afternoon On the brink of breaking my back I keep tripping of over your steps Everything is harder to do When our memories are a threat 'Cause our memories have a breath 'Cause our memories are a threat They're still breathing life to me Ya they're still alive to me Icon If I wasn't awake I'd be dreaming I took too many pills to be sleeping And the memory of you keeps on creeping Up my slippery spine all this evening Take my hand in your hand like we're walking On the pebbly sand and we're talking Drive me up to the coast, lay my seat back But I'm just in a room with the lights on Every minute passes like an hour When I'm just in a room with the lights on And there's no one who knows I'm their icon All that keeps me awake is the lights on And there's no one who knows I'm their icon The first line of the night cuts the deepest Then I'm struggling to keep my secrets As we order the drink that's the cheapest If I lend you my kiss please don't keep it Every minute feels just like an hour When I'm just in a room with the lights on And there's no one who knows I'm their icon All that keeps me awake is the lights on And there's no one who knows I'm their icon Keep the lights on for my sake Close my eyes I see your face I just keep myself awake I don't want to feel this way 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
