I Know

So be it, I'm your crowbar

If that's what I am, so far

Until you get out of this mess

And I will pretend that I don't know of your sins

Until you are ready to confess

But all the time, all the time

I'll know, I'll know

And you can use my skin to bury secrets in

And I will settle you down

And at my own suggestion

I will ask no questions

While I do my thing in the background

But all the time, all the time

I'll know, I'll know

Baby, I can't help you out

While she's still around

So for the time being, I'm being patient

And amidst this bitterness

If you'll just consider this

Even if it don't make sense all the time

Give it time

And when the crowd becomes your burden

And you've early closed your curtains

I'll wait by the backstage door

While you try to find the lines to speak your mind

And pry it open, hoping for an encore

And if it gets too late for me to wait

For you to find you love me, and tell me so

It's okay

Don't need to say it

This is one of the best songs of all time it’s incredibly good

Get Gone

How many times do I have to say

To get away, get gone?

Flip your shit past another lass's

Humble dwelling

You got your game, made your shot

And you got away with a lot

But I'm not turned on

So put away that meat you're selling

'Cause I do know what's good for me

And I've done what I could for you

But you're not benefiting

And yet I'm sitting, singing again

Sing, sing again

How can I deal with this

If he won't get with this?

Am I gonna heal from this?

He won't admit to it

Nothing to figure out

I gotta get him out

It's time the truth goes out

That he don't give a shit about me

'Cause I do know what's good for me

And I've done what I could for you

But you're not benefiting

And yet I'm sitting, singing again

Sing, sing again

How can I deal with this

If he won't get with this?

Am I gonna heal from this?

He won't admit to it

Nothing to figure out

I gotta get him out

It's time the truth goes out

That he don't give a shit about me

How many times can it escalate

'Til it elevates to a place I can't breathe?

And I must decide, if you must deride

That I'm much obliged to up and go

I'll idealize and realize that it's no sacrifice

Because the price is paid

And there's nothing left to grieve

Fucking go

'Cause I've done what I could for you

And I do know what's good for me

And I'm not benefiting

Instead I'm sitting

Singing again, singing again, singing again

Sing, sing, sing again

How can I deal with this

If he won't get with this?

Am I gonna heal from this?

He won't admit to it

Nothing to figure out

I gotta get him out

It's time the truth goes out

That he don't give a shit about me

How can I deal with this

If he won't get with this?

Am I gonna heal from this?

He won't admit to it

Nothing to figure out

I gotta get him out

It's time the truth goes out

That he don't give a shit about me

The Way Things Are

I wouldn't know what to do with another chance

If you gave it to me

I couldn't take the embrace of a real romance

It'd race right through me

I'm much better off

The way things are

Much, much better off

Better by far

By far

I wouldn't know what to say to a gentle voice

It'd roll right past me

And if you chalk it up you'll see I don't really have a choice

So don't even ask me

I'm much better off

The way things are

Much, much better off

Better by far

By far

So keep on calling me names, keep on, keep on

And I'll keep kicking the crap 'til it's gone

If you keep on killing

You could get me to settle

And as soon as I settle

I bet I'll be able to move on

How could I fight

When we're on the same side

How could I fight

Beside you

So keep on calling me names, keep on, keep on

And I'll keep kicking the crap 'til it's gone

If you keep on killing

You could get me to settle

And as soon as I settle

I bet I'll be able to move on

Keep on calling me names, keep on, keep on

And I'll keep kicking the crap 'til it's gone

If you keep on killing

You could get me to settle

And as soon as I settle

I bet I'll be able to move on

Fast as You Can

I let the beast in too soon

I don't know how to live without my hand on his throat

I fight him always and still

O darling, it's so sweet

You think you know how crazy

How crazy I am

You say you don't spook easy

You won't go

But I know

And I pray that you will

Fast as you can, baby

Run, free yourself of me

Fast as you can

I may be soft in your palm

But I'll soon grow hungry for a fight

And I will not let you win

My pretty mouth will frame the phrases

That will disprove your faith in man

So if you catch me trying to find my way into your heart

From under your skin

Fast as you can, baby

Scratch me out, free yourself

Fast as you can

Fast as you can, baby

Scratch me out, free yourself

Fast as you can

Sometimes my mind don't shake and shift

But most of the time, it does

And I get to the place where I'm begging for a lift

Or I'll drown in the wonders and the was

And I'll be your girl, if you say it's a gift

And you give me some more of your drugs

Yeah, I'll be your pet, if you just tell me it's a gift

'Cause I'm tired of whys, choking on whys

Just need a little because, because

I let the beast in and then

I even tried forgiving him, but it's too soon

So I'll fight again, again, again, again, again

And for a little while more

I'll soar the uneven wind, complain and blame the sterile land

But if you're getting any bright ideas, quiet dear

I'm blooming within

Fast as you can, baby wait watch me, I'll be out

Fast as I can, maybe late but at least about

Fast as you can leave me, let this thing run its route

Fast as you can, fast as you can

Fast as you can, fast as you can

A Mistake

I'm gonna make a mistake

I'm gonna do it on purpose

I'm gonna waste my time

'Cause I'm full as a tick

And I'm scratching at the surface

And what I find is mine

And when the day is done, and I look back

And the fact is, I had fun fumbling around

All the advice I shunned, and I ran

Where they told me not to run

But I sure had fun, so

I'm gonna fuck it up again

I'm gonna do another detour

Unpave my path

And if you wanna make sense

What you looking at me for?

I'm no good at math

And when I find my way back

The fact is, I just may stay

Or I may not

I've acquired quite a taste

For a well-made mistake

I wanna make a mistake

Why can't I make a mistake?

I'm always doing what I think I should

Almost always doing everybody good

Why?

Do I wanna do right? Of course, but

Do I really wanna feel

I'm forced to answer you? Hell, no

I've acquired quite a taste

For a well-made mistake

I wanna make a mistake

Why can't I make a mistake?

I'm always doing what I think I should

Almost always doing everybody good

Why? Why?

Paper Bag

I was staring at the sky

Just looking for a star

To pray on or wish on or something like that

I was having a sweet fix

Of a daydream of a boy

Whose reality I knew was a hopeless to be had

But then the dove of hope began its downward slope

And I believed for a moment 

That my chances were approaching to be grabbed

But as it came down near

So did a weary tear

I thought it was a bird but it was just a paper bag

Hunger hurts and I want him so bad, oh it kills

'Cause I know I'm a mess he don't want to clean up

I've gotta fold 'cause these hands are too shaky to hold

Hunger hurts but starving works when it costs too much to love

And I went crazy again today

Looking for a strand to climb

Looking for a little hope

Baby said he couldn't stay

Wouldn't put his lips to mine

And a fail to kiss is a fail to cope

I said "honey, I don't feel so good

Don't feel justified

Come on put a little love here in my void"

He said "it's all in your head"

I said "so's everything" but he didn't get it

I thought he was a man but he was just a little boy

Hunger hurts and I want him so bad, oh it kills

'Cause I know I'm a mess he don't want to clean up

I've gotta fold 'cause these hands are too shaky to hold

Hunger hurts but starving works when it costs too much to love

Hunger hurts but I want him so bad, oh it kills

'Cause I know I'm a mess that he don't want to clean up

I've gotta fold because these hands are too shaky to hold

Hunger hurts but starving works when it costs too much to love

Hunger hurts but I want him so bad, oh it kills

Because I know that I'm a mess he don't want to clean up

I've got to fold 'cause these hands are too shaky to hold

Hunger hurts but starving, it works when it costs too much to love

Love Ridden

Love ridden, I've looked at you

With the focus I gave to my birthday candles

I've wished on the lidded blue flames under your brow

And baby, I wished for you

Nobody sees when you are lying in your bed

And I wanna crawl in with you but I cry instead

I want your warmth, but it will only make me colder when it's over

So I can't tonight, baby

No, not "baby" anymore

If I need you, I'll just use your simple name

Only kisses on the cheek from now on

And in a little while, we'll only have to wave

My hand won't hold you down, no more

The path is clear to follow through

I stood too long in the way of the door

And now, I'm giving up on you

No, not "baby" anymore

If I need you, I'll just use your simple name

Only kisses on the cheek from now on

And in a little while, we'll only have to wave

No, not "baby" anymore

If I need you, I'll just use your simple name

Only kisses on the cheek from now on

And in a little while, we'll only have to wave

Limp

You wanna make me sick

You wanna lick my wounds

Don't you, baby?

You want the badge of honor when you save my hide

But you're the one in the way of the day of doom, baby

If you need my shame to reclaim your pride

And when I think of it, my fingers turn to fists

I never did anything to you, man

No matter what I try, you'll beat me with your bitter lies

So call me crazy, hold me down

Make me cry, get off now, baby

It won't be long 'til you'll be lying limp in your own hands

You feed the beast I have within me

You wave the red flag, baby

You make it run, run, run

Standing on the sidelines, waving and grinning

You fondle my trigger, then you blame my gun

And when I think of it, my fingers turn to fists

I never did anything to you, man

But no matter what I try, you'll beat me with your bitter lies

So call me crazy, hold me down

Make me cry, get off now, baby

It won't be long 'til you'll be lying limp in your own hands

And when I think of it, my fingers turn to fists

I never did anything to you, man

But no matter what I try, you'll beat me with your bitter lies

So call me crazy, hold me down

Make me cry, get off now, baby

It won't be long 'til you'll be lying limp in your own hands

To your Love

Here's another speech you wish I'd swallow

Another cue for you to fold your ears

Another train of thought too hard to follow

Chugging along to the song that belongs to the shifting of gears

Please, forgive me for my distance

The pain is evident in my existence

Please forgive me for my distance

The shame is manifest in my resistance to your love

To your love

To your love

I would've warned you, but really, what's the point?

Caution could, but rarely ever helps

Don't be down, my demeanor tends to disappoint

It's hard enough even trying to be civil to myself

Please, forgive me for my distance

The pain is evident in my existence

Please, forgive me for my distance

The shame is manifest in my resistance to your love

To your love

To your love

My derring-do allows me to

Dance the rigadoon around you

But by the time I'm close to you

I lose my desideratum and now you

So now you have it

So tell me, baby, what's the word?

Am I your gal or should I get out of town?

I just need to be reassured

Do you just deal it out

Or can you deal with all that I lay down?

Please, forgive me for my distance

The pain is evident in my existence

Please forgive me for my distance

The shame is manifest in my resistance to your love

To your love

To your love

Oh, oh, oh

To your love (To your love)

To your love (To your love)

To your love (To your love)

To your love

To your love

On The Bound

All my life is on me now

Hail the pages turning

And the future's on the bound

Hell don't know my fury

You're all I need, you're all I need

You're all I need, you're all I need

You're all I need, you're all I need

You're all I need and maybe some faith would do me good

I don't know what I'm doing, don't know, should I change my mind?

I can't decide, there's too many variations to consider

No thing I do don't do no thing but bring me more to do

It's true, I do imbue my blue unto myself, I make it bitter

Baby, lay your head on my lap one more time

Tell me you belong to me

Baby, say that it's all gonna be alright

I believe that it isn't

You're all I need, you're all I need

You're all I need, you're all I need

You're all I need, you're all I need

You're all I need and maybe some faith would do me good

And maybe some faith would do me good

I love this song and Fiona is right maybe some faith would do me good

When the Pawn Hits the Conflicts He Thinks Like a King What He Knows Throws the Blows When He Goes to the Fight and He'll Win the Whole Thing 'Fore He Enters the Ring There's No Body to Batter When Your Mind Is Your Might So When You Go Solo, You Hold Your Own Hand and Remember That Depth Is the Greatest of Heights and If You Know Where You Stand, Then You Know Where to Land and If You Fall It Won't Matter, Cuz You'll Know That You're Right - Fiona Apple

This is one of the best album titles I have ever seen. I know this by heart and will never forget just like the first poem I ever learned in school. Sometimes it just randomly pops up in my head and I immediately have to say it out loud.

Hello everyone, this is going to be a sideblog about music. I'm probably going to post my favorite lyrics or album rankings etc.

I'm german so I am also going to post about german music.

And if you see any grammar/spelling mistakes no you didn't
