Oh, Gwendolyn
You grab the sun out of the sky
And you pull me in
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, Gwendolyn
You burn too bright, you burn too hot
My wings are paraffin
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, Gwendolyn
Oh, Gwendolyn
Persephone
The open box inside my mind
The sugar in my tea
Yeah, yeah, yeah
The seasons bleed
From one into another
'Til you're freezing me
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Persephone, Persephone
You supernova I fall in
Dark constellation, Gwendolyn
Colder and colder, again and again
Simple repetition, Gwendolyn
Simple repetition, Gwendolyn
Every constellation is another complication
Every constellation is another complication
Every constellation is another complication
Oh baby, who knows what you are?
Twinkle twinkle little star
Gwendolyn, Gwendolyn
Persephone, all I need
You supernova I fall in
Dark constellation, Gwendolyn
Colder and colder, again and again
Simple repetition, Gwendolyn
Simple repetition, Gwendolyn
Simple repetition, Gwendolyn
Gwendolyn
Persephone
All I need

Dive In
02:50

Comes in like a spark
Like adrenaline
A rush of blood to the head again
You gotta catch a wave
Seize the moment
Gotta spin that thread 'til it's golden
Now I can see that you
Wanna count on me
And it should be as easy
As one, two, three
Take a breath
Take another one
Take another one
Why can't I just dive in?
Why can't I take the leap?
You always said that you believe in me
Why am I scared?
What can I do?
I look around and all that I see is proof
Why can't I
Dive in
Why can't I just
Dive in
Why can't I dive in
This is where I'm at
Trying to claim a space
Your orbit's so wide
And it pulls me in
Break myself out
Of this tiny room
Got roughed up a bit
Got a couple of bruises, I
Am a little late
I promise that I
Will be well worth the wait
Take a breath
Take another one
Take another one
Why can't I just dive in?
Why can't I take the leap?
You always said that you believe in me
Why am I scared?
What can I do?
I look around and all that I see is proof
Why can't I
Dive in
Why can't I just
Dive in
Why can't I just dive in?
Why can't I take the leap?
You always said that you believe in me
Why am I scared?
What can I do?
I look around and all that I see is proof
Why can't I
Dive in
Why can't I just
Dive in

Everygirl

She puts cream in her tea
Doesn't over-steep the leaves
She's got a kiss like a boxing glove
She reads books and the news
Puts off getting a tattoo
She's every girl I've ever loved
She writes poetry and psalms
Hides her piercings from her mom
She's working on her PhD
She thinks irony is gay
In the most ironic way
She's every girl I've ever dreamed of
Cross hearts, tell lies
Break a promise, say goodbye
It's hard to cry
With all these needles in my eyes
I may, I might
Forget we ever had a fight
Every girl I've ever loved
Please come home with me tonight
Yeah, please come home with me tonight
She's got a ring in her nose
Torn-up boots and pantyhose
Her room is a disaster space
She'll do a DJ set today
Odd weekends with MDMA
I like them just a little strange
She wants the toilet seat left down
Doesn't mind that I'm a clown
She likes that I'm a little soft
She's asking me to hold her hand
Though she's dating my best friend
Sometimes it's hard to turn it off
Cross hearts, tell lies
Break a promise, say goodbye
It's hard to cry
With all these needles in my eyes
I may, I might
Forget we ever had a fight
Every girl I've ever loved
Please come home with me tonight
Yeah, please come home with me tonight
Everygirl, there's always something to love
And everygirl, there's always something to love
Got a lot of love to give, I got a lot of love to give
I got a lot of love to give
She's asking me to hold her hand
Though she's dating my best friend
She's every girl I've ever dreamed of
Cross hearts, tell lies
Break a promise, say goodbye
It's hard to cry
With all these needles in my eyes
I may, I might
Forget we ever had a fight
Every girl I've ever loved
Please come home with me tonight
Yeah, please come home with me tonight

First stop, ecstasy
I've got a feeling coming over me
It's a hard life
I'm aware
When I'm waiting on a sign that's already there
So wake up, wake up
But don't be scared
Cos I'm waiting on a sign that's already there
It's so tough, so tough
To not be scared
When I'm waiting on a sign that's already there
And I'm waiting on a sign that's already there
Next stop, everywhere
I've got a feeling that I've been unfair
With a sad shout, a useless prayer
I am waiting on a sign that's already there
So wake up, wake up
But don't be scared
Cos I'm waiting on a sign that's already there
It's so tough, so tough
To not be scared
When I'm waiting on a sign that's already there
And I'm waiting on a sign that's already there
Last stop, overlooked
I've got a feeling that my goose is cooked
For every tombstone, a baby cries
When I'm waiting on a sign
That's right before my eyes
So wake up, wake up
But don't be scared
Cos I'm waiting on a sign that's already there
It's so tough, so tough
To not be scared
When I'm waiting on a sign that's already there
And I'm waiting on a sign that's already there

Altered By Mom Toronto, Ontario
ALTERED BY MOM combines a knack for infectious melodies and classic songwriting with a quirky sense of humour and a tongue-
in-cheek post-grunge aesthetic - like Sloan had a baby with Barenaked Ladies... and then that baby stole your cigarettes.
ALTERED BY MOM is for those that never thought they'd be trapped in an MP3.
