FKA Twigs - LP1 Lyrics
Preface
I, I, I, I, I, I, I
I love another, and thus I hate myself
I love another, and thus I hate myself
I love another, and thus I hate myself
I love another, and thus I hate myself
I love another, and thus I hate myself
And thus I hate myself
Said I got from running water and keep you from calling back like
Said I got from running water and keep you from calling back like
Said I got from running water and keep you from calling back like
I love another, and thus I hate myself
I love another, and thus I hate myself
I love another, and thus I hate myself
I hate myself, I hate myself, I hate myself
I love another, and thus I hate myself
I hate myself, I hate myself, I hate myself
I hate myself, I hate myself, I hate myself
I hate myself

Lights On
I shy away in my mind
In hopes in that I could share this place with you
You'll be the first one to find
The shadows that make the girl you undo
Cause the man that you are is to find
By the way you act in the light
Break or seize me
If the flame gets blown out in the shine
I will know that you can not be mine
Never leave me
[Chorus x2:]
When I trust you we can do it with the lights on
When I trust you we can do it with the lights on
When I trust you we'll make love until the morning
Let me tell you all my secrets and I'll whisper 'til the day's done
Break or seize me
Let the things that I tell you survive
In the way that you handle your size
Never leave me
[Chorus x4]

Two Weeks
(Higher than a motherf*cker, dreamin' of it, it's my lovin')
(Higher than a motherf*cker, dreamin' of it, it's my lovin')
(Higher than a motherf*cker, dreamin' of it, it's my lovin')
I know it hurts
You know, I'd quench that thirst
(I can treat you better than them)
You say you're lonely
I say you'll think about it
'Cause you're the only
One who resonates that chest
Mouth open like (High)
Higher than a motherf*cker, dreamin' of it, it's my lovin' (Open your heart)
Flying like a screamin' falcon, on our ways to do each other (Open your heart)
Pull out the incisor, give me two weeks, you won't recognize her
Mouth open, you're high
I know it hurts
You know, I'd put you first
(I can f*ck you better than her)
You say you want me
I say you'll live without it
Unless you're the only
One who instigates
Get your mouth, open your heart
Higher than a motherf*cker, dreamin' of it, it's my lovin' (Open your heart)
Flying like a screamin' falcon, on our ways to do each other (Open your heart)
Pull out the incisor, give me two weeks, you won't recognize her
Mouth open, you're high
Feel your body closin', I can rip it open
Suck me up, I'm healin' for the shit you're dealin'
Smoke on your skin to get those pretty eyes rollin'
My thighs are apart for when you're ready to breathe in
Suck me up, I'm healin' for the shit you're dealin'
Hi, motherf*cker, get your mouth open, you know you're mine
I'd put you first
Just close your eyes and dream about it
Higher than a motherf*cker, dreamin' of it, it's my lovin'
I'll quench your thirst
Just chase around and stop your doubtin'
Flying like a screamin' falcon
On our ways to do each other (high, high, high, high)
Higher than a motherf*cker, dreamin' of it, it's my lovin'
Flying like a screamin' falcon, on our ways to do each other (Open your heart)
Pull out the incisor, give me two weeks, you won't recognize her
Mouth open, you're high

Hours
I could kiss you for hours....
Who would've thought, I'd be here, in your mouth, loud and clear?
Harder... Till you fill it with me
Harder... Am I suited to fit all of your needs?
Master of all of your needs
I could kiss you for hours.... And not miss a thing, read my lips now
I could kiss you for hours.... The feeling you bring, so deep in now
I could kiss you for hours....
How would you like it if my lips touched yours, and they stayed closed, baby 'til the stars fade out?
How would you like it if I suck before I bite but it wasn't too hard so it felt alright?
How would you like it if I held you in my arms?
Round if your bed is big with supported tubes for Mmmmm Mmmm
Harder... Till you fill it with me
Harder... Am I suited to fit all of your needs?
Master of all of your needs
I could kiss you for hours.... And not miss a thing, read my lips now
I could kiss you for hours.... The feeling you bring, so deep in now
I could kiss you for hours....
Drive me heaven under the ground
The sweetest thing a girl like me has... Found
I could kiss you for hours....
Flying in a higher world of your own
I long lost boy aside a man... That's grown
I could kiss you for hours.... And not miss a thing, read my lips now
I could kiss you for hours.... The feeling you bring, so deep in now
I could kiss you for hours....
I could kiss you for hours....
I could kiss you for hours...
I could kiss you for hours..
I could kiss you for hours.
I could kiss you for hours

Pendulum
I'm a sweet, little love maker
Finding time, to make my words better (I)
Lately I
Not so present now
Not in love
For your constant fun
I've got time, but you're tired of waiting
You only want me in other spaces
Come fill your gaps with people
I know no one
So lonely trying to be yours
When you're looking for so much more
You forgot
How we fell in love
I'm your sweet
Little love maker
You're younger than I am broken
I dance feelings like that sparkle
Summer conversations, not enough
So lonely trying to be yours
What a forsaken cause
So lonely trying to be yours
When you're looking for so much more
(So lonely trying)
How does it feel to have me thinking about you?
Wishing the words were enough to consume you
So lonely trying to be yours
How does it feel to have me thinking about you?
So lonely trying to be yours
What a forsaken cause
So lonely trying to be yours
When you're looking for so much more

Video Girl
Is she the girls from the video?
Is she the girls from the video?
Is she the girls from the video?
Is she the girls from the video?
You liar, you liar, you lie
Nineteen, two kids
Looking at the game though
Tryna make a stand for the big squeeze
Please, you don't stand a chance
Stop acting like you can
The camera's on your pain, but it loves (you)
You're looking for the all around good love
[Pre-Chorus:]
So nothing's gonna get in your way
You're gonna get yourself drunk all day
[Chorus:]
Is she the girls from the video?
Is she the girls from the video?
Stop, stop lying to me
Is she the girls from the video?
Is she the girls from the video?
You liar, you liar, you lie
Nineteen, I see, a body that can move
The hardest in the room
With a quick switch, kiss
All eyes on you now
What you gonna do?
The camera loves you, ain't that enough?
You're craving for the moment you know first
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]
There's nothing to say
I don't want to hear about it
So you follow the fame
I heard that the things you're going through
What you gonna do
[Chorus]
You liar, you liar, you lie
You liar, you liar, you lie
You liar, you liar, you lie

Numbers
Was I just a...
Was I just a number to you?
Was I just a lonely girl to fly?
Tonight, I've got a question for you
Tonight, do you want to live or die?
Was I just a number to you?
Was I just a lonely girl to fly?
Tonight, I've got a question for you
Tonight, do you want to live or die?
Was I just a...
Was I just a...
Was I just a...
Was I just a...
Why you gotta go and hurt me, babe?
Why you gotta go and make me cry?
I just wanted to see you
And I've got to clean the mess you've made
I left your heart slow beating on the side
Was I just a number to you?
Was I just a lonely girl to fly?
Tonight, I've got a question for you
Tonight, do you want to live or die?
Was I just a.... number to you?
Was I just a.... number to you?
Was I just a.... Number?

Closer
Now I yearn to follow you in everything I do
All those years in isolation helped me want for you
Lead me to a place I'm free from all the wrongs I do
In, in, in, in return I'll live forever loving you
Closer, I'm here to be closer
Closer to you, to you, to you, to you
Closer, I'm ready now closer
Closer to you, to you, to you, to you... Oh!
In my mind, eternal darkness
Seemed like it was true (True, true, true)
Oh so wretched, wretched, wretched, wretched
My savior knew I was weary (I was lost)
I was sleepy but you held me through
Carried me along the sand your footsteps gold and good
Closer, I'm here to be closer
Closer to you, to you, to you, to you... Oh!
Closer, I'm ready now closer
Closer to you, to you, to you, to you... Oh!
All those years in isolation
Isolation...
Isolation...

Give Up
I give... Give, give
Tell me why I act this way
Tell me that I'll change someday
I'll be the one that can satisfy you
If I can't rectify the...
I give... Give, give
...Few things that I've got to change and a few things in my way
Okay, so I've said it before and won't imply that
You're not too close to the fact
Just nod your head and get up
I'm not going let you give up, babe
Just nod your head and get up
I'm not going let you give up, babe
I know that sometimes you wished I'd go away, away
Just nod your head and get up
I'm not going let you give up, babe
Don't we get another chance?
Did I make the final stand above the ones that are oh so perfect
'Cause they know how to work it, work it, work it?
I give... Give, give
Looking like I'll keep it now, I made the cut
Okay, so I've done it before and you think it's an act
But I call this time a wrap
Just nod your head and get up
I'm not going let you give up, babe
Just nod your head and get up
I'm not going let you give up, babe
I know that sometimes you wished I'd go away, away
I know that sometimes you wished I'd go away, away
But I'd wished that you would know that I'm here to stay, to stay
Just nod your head and get up
I'm not going let you give up, babe
Tell me what I got to do
Oh no, don't give up
I'll do everything to make it better, babe
I'll do anything
Bite, I'll bite
Do you like it like that? (Do you like it like that?)
Tell me what I've got to do
Oh no, don't give up
'Cause I'll do anything to make you see me, baby
(Give me your attention)
Bite, I'll make you better
I know that sometimes you wished I'd go away, away
I know that sometimes you wished I'd go away, away
But I'd wished that you would know that I'm here to stay, to stay
Just nod your head and get up
I'm not going let you give up, babe
Just nod your head and get up
I'm not going let you give up
I give...

Kicks
When I'm low (Low, low)
I feel for you (You, you)
Time passes by (By, by, by)
Feel it for you
I explore
Stroke my side
Yes, I do
Feel for you
So, I tell myself it's cool for me to wait for you, just for you
I collect my thoughts and breathe
Because I take your lead
Take your lead
Tell me, what do I do when you're not here?
What do I do when you're not here?
Tell me, what do I do when you're not here?
What do I do when you're not here?
I get my kicks like you
When I'm alone (Lone, lone)
I don't need you (You, you)
I love my touch
Know just what to do
So, I tell myself it's cool to get my kicks like you, just like you
I just touch myself and say
"I'll make my own damn way"
Own damn way
Tell me, what do I do when you're not here?
Tell me, what do I do?
Baby, it's clear
Tell me, what do I do when you're not here? (When you're not here)
What do I do when you're not here? (When you're not here)
(When you're not here)
Tell me, what do I do when you're not here? (When you're not here)
What do I do when you're not here? (When you're not here)
I get my kicks like you
(When you're not here)
Tell me, what do I do when you're not here? (When you're not here)
What do I do when you're not here? (When you're not here)
(When you're not here)
Tell me, what do I do when you're not here? (When you're not here)
What do I do when you're not here? (When you're not here)
I get my kicks like you
(When you're not here)
What do I do when you're not here?
I get my kicks like...
I get my kicks like...
I get my kicks like you
Tell me what do I do?
Baby, it's clear
