FKA Twigs - Magdalene Lyrics






thousand eyes

If I walk out the door, it starts our last goodbye
If you don't pull me back it wakes a thousand eyes
If I walk out the door, it starts our last goodbye
If you don't pull me back it wakes a thousand eyes

If I walk out the door, it starts our last goodbye
If you don't pull me back it wakes a thousand eyes
If I walk out the door
If I walk out the door

A thousand eyes
If I walk out the door
A thousand eyes
If I walk out the door
A thousand eyes
Out the door, it starts
Out the door, it starts
Out the door, it starts
Out the door, it starts
Out the door, it starts
Out the door, it starts
Out the door, it-

It's gonna be cold without those
It's gonna be cold without those eyes
It's gonna be cold without those
It's gonna be cold without those eyes
I'm so cold without those
I'm so cold without those eyes

I'm gonna be cold without those
I'm so cold without those eyes
It's gonna be cold without those
Eyes (those eyes)

If I walk out the door, it starts our last goodbye
If you don't pull me back it wakes a thousand eyes

home with you

I'm so wired for it, seen it, tried it
I'd die for you on my terms
When I get my lessons learned
Apples, cherries, pain
Breathe in, breathe out, pain
No, no, Novocain
Still maintain my grace

How come the more you have the more that people want from you?
More you burn away the more the people earn from you
More you pull away the more that they depend on you
I've never seen a hero like me in a sci-fi
So I wonder if your needs are even meant for me
I wonder if you think that I could ever raise you up
I wonder if you think that I could ever help you fly
Never seen a hero like me in a sci-fi
But I'd save a life if I thought it belonged to you
Mary Magdalene would never let her loved ones down

I didn't know that you were lonely
If you'd have just told me, I'd be home with you
I didn't know that you were lonely
If you'd have just told me I'd be running down the hills to you

When I visualize
All I see is black (onyx)
Throw me to the floor
Just a little more (get it, onyx)
I know I've been gone
You've been all alone
Stoking up the fire for you
Set the place alight
Call me late at night
And I'll be running home to you

I didn't know that you were lonely
If you'd have just told me I'd be home with you
I didn't know that you were lonely
If you'd have just told me, I'd be running down the hills to be with you
If you had told me, I'd be running down the hills to be with you
I'd be running down the hills to be with you
And I'd have told you I was lonely too

sad day

Every time you look outside your window
Everything is just the same as before
You are turning round and round
You see, it's a sad day for sure

Taste the fruit of me
Make love to all you see

Ah ah ah ah
Would you make a, make a, make a wish on my love?
Ah ah ah ah
Would you make a, make a, make a wish on my love?
Ah ah ah ah
Would you make a, make a, make a wish on my love?
Ah ah ah ah
Would you make a, make a, make a wish on my love?

Take a chance on all the things you can't see
Make a wish on all that lives within thee
If you're foolishly in love with me
It's a fine day for sure

Taste the fruit of me
Make love to all you see

Ah ah ah ah
Would you make a, make a, make a wish on my love?
Ah ah ah ah
Would you make a, make a, make a wish on my love?
Ah ah ah ah
Would you make a, make a, make a wish on my love?
Ah ah ah ah
Would you make a, make a, make a wish on my love?

You're running
And I tried to make it work before
You're running
I made you sad before
I, then I
Have you ever made a wish before
I, you're running
I made you sad before

I can imagine a world when my arms are embraced around you
I lie naked and pure
With intentions to clench you and take you
The city howls with a cry to seduce you
And claim you
So it's time
And it's a sad day for sure

Would you make a, make a, make a wish on my love?
Ah ah ah ah
Would you make a, make a, make a wish on my love?
Ah ah ah ah
Would you make a, make a, make a wish on my love?
Ah ah ah ah
Would you make a, make a, make a wish on my love?

You're running
And I tried
I made you sad before
And you're running
Have you ever made a wish before

holy terrain

[ Featuring Future ]

Yeah, Pluto
Lemme do my dance in this bitch, don't get case closed
Made a hunnid bands off the brick
Made a hunnid bands off the brick, pure yayo
Send my girl to church with some drug money
Told her pay for college, take there

Day one
Take me to my favorite show
Day two
Hold my hand and pull me close
Next to me, kiss my cheek
Just any day, yes
Day three, take me to a deep river
Steal a kiss when I'm lost in the mist

Will you still be there for me
Once I'm yours to obtain?
Once my fruits are for taking
And you flow through my veins?
Do you still think I'm beautiful
When my tears fall like rain?
My love is so bountiful
For a man, who is true to me

For a man who can follow his heart
Not get bound by his boys and his chains
For a man who can follow his heart
And stand up in my holy terrain (I try, I try, I try, I try for you)

I'm blue when the moon hits my skin right
Hot pink when you open up my sweet thighs
Pull you in, and your life can begin, 'cause it's early days

Will you still be there for me
Now I'm yours to obtain?
Now my fruits are for taking
And your fingers are stained
Do you still think I'm beautiful
When you light me in flames?
My love is so bountiful

For a man who can follow his heart (I try, I try)
Not get bound by his boys and his chains (I try, I try, I try for you)
For a man who can follow his heart (I try, I try, I try, I try)
And stand up in my holy terrain (I try, I try, I try, I try)

Throw loads of gold on you just to fall asleep, yeah
I hope you never take my love, yeah, in vain, yeah
Through the thunder, through the window I see rain (I see rain)
Water this garden, play with snakes in Balmain (oh yeah)
Making you fall apart, watch me drown in my pain (my pain)
I feed you poison, forever my lady (oh baby)
Don't know there's God on you just to fall asleep there (God, no)
Pray for my sins, make me stronger where I'm weaker (pray for)
We die, we die together, the prophecy complete, yeah
We gettin' high, we touch the sky until we deceased, yeah
And if you pray for me, I know you play for keeps, yeah (play for keeps)
Calling my name, calling my name (calling my name)
Taking the feeling of Promethazine away

For a man who can follow his heart (I try, I try)
Not get bound by his boys and his chains (I try, I try, I try for you)
For a man who can follow his heart (I try, I try, I try, I try)
And stand up in my holy terrain (I try, I try, I try, I try for you)
I try, I try, I try, I try

mary magdalene

A woman's work
A woman's prerogative
A woman's time to embrace
She must put herself first
A woman's touch, a sacred geometry
I know where you start, where you end
How to please, how to curse

Yes, I learnt you needed me
Yes, I'm here to open you
Yes, I know that your heart is blue
(So cold)

I fear before the fire
True as Mary Magdalene
Creature of desire
Come just a little bit closer to me
Step just a little bit closer to me
I can lift you higher
I do it like Mary Magdalene
I want you to say it
Come just a little bit closer 'til we collide

A woman's hands
So dark and provocative
A nurturing breath that could stroke
Your divine confidence
A woman's war
Unoccupied history
True nature won't search to destroy
If it doesn't make sense

Yes, I learnt you needed me
Yes, I'm here to open you
Yes, I know that your heart is blue
(So cold)

I fear before the fire
True as Mary Magdalene
Creature of desire
Come just a little bit closer to me
Step just a little bit closer to me
I can lift you higher
I do it like Mary Magdalene
I want you to say it
Come just a little bit closer 'til we collide

Ooh, you didn't hear me now
Ooh, you didn't hear me when I told you
Ooh, you didn't hear me now

Mary Magdalene
Creature of desire
Come just a little bit, just a little bit
Mary Magdalene
Creature of desire
Come just a little bit closer 'til we collide

Ooh, you didn't hear me now
Ooh, you didn't hear me when I told you
Ooh, you didn't hear me now

fallen alien

I was waiting for you, I was outside
Don't tell me what you want because I know you lie (I feel)
I was waiting for you, on the outside
Don't tell me what you want because I know you lie (I feel, the light)

I was crying for you, on the outside
Don't tell me what you want because I know you lie
I'm a fallen alien
I never thought that you would be the one to tie me down
But you did
In this age of Satan
I'm searching for a light to take me home and guide me out

In the blazing sun I saw you
In the shadows hiding from yourself
When the lights are on I know you
See you're grey from all the lies you tell

Now you hold me close so tender
In the shadows hiding from yourself
When the lights are on I know you
See you're grey from all the lies you tell
Now you hold me close so tender
When you fall asleep I'll kick you down
By the way you fell I know you
Now you're on your knees
(I feel, the lightning blast)

I'm a fallen alien
I never thought that you would be the one to tie me down
But you did
In this age of Satan
I'm searching for a light to take me home and guide me out

In the blazing sun I saw you
In the shadows hiding from yourself
When the lights are on I know you
See you're grey from all the lies you tell

Now you hold me close so tender
When you fall asleep I'll kick you down
By the way you fell I know you
See you're grey from all the lies you tell
Now you hold me close so tender
When you fall asleep I'll kick you down
By the way you fell I know you
Now you're on your knees
(I feel, the lightning blast)

mirrored heart

It's all for the gain
It's all for the lovers trying to take the breath away
It's all for the gain
It's all for the lovers trying to chase the rush again
It's all for the gain
It's all for the lovers trying to take the breath away
It's all for the gain
It's all for the lovers trying to chase the rush again

But I'm never gonna give up
Though I'm probably gonna think about you all the time
And for the lovers who found a mirrored heart
They just remind me I'm without you

Did you want me all?
No, not for life
Did you truly see me?
No, not this time
Were you ever sure?
No no no, not with me

That's why its all for the gain
It's all for the lovers trying to pache the pain away
Its all for the gain
It's all for the lovers trying to f*ck away the pain

But I'm never gonna give up
Though I'm probably gonna think about you all the time
And for the lovers who found a mirrored heart
They just remind me I'm without you

Did you want me all?
No, not for life
Did you truly see me?
No, not this time
Were you ever sure?
No no no, not with me

Did you want me all?
No, not for life
Did you truly see me?
No, not this time
Were you ever sure?
No no no, not with me ooh oh oh

But I'm never gonna give up
Though I'm probably gonna think about you all the time
And for the lovers who found a mirrored heart
They just remind me I'm without you
They just remind me I'm without you
They just remind me I'm without you

daybed

Silent are my heart strings
Icy is my body heat, yeah
Lonely is my hoping
Empty is my sweet thing
Aching is my laughter
Busy is my pastime

Telling is my silence
Blurring my horizon
Tired of my resistance
Smothered is my distance, yeah
Careful are my footsteps
Possessive is my daybed

Vacant are my nightmares
Rest becomes my nowhere, yeah
Twenty is my vision
Only when I listen
Lower is my ceiling
Pressing are my feelings

Active are my fingers
Faux my cunnilingus
Dirty are my dishes
Many are my wishes
Fearless are my cacti
Friendly are the fruit flies
Jaded is my father
Childlike is my answer

Careful are my footsteps
Possessive is my daybed
Jaded is my father
Childlike is my answer
Careful are my footsteps
Possessive is my daybed
Baby are my footsteps
Possessive is my daybed
Baby are my footsteps
Possessive is my daybed

Cellophane

Didn't I do it for you?
Why don't I do it for you?
Why won't you do it for me?
When all I do is for you?

They want to see us, want to see us alone
They want to see us, want to see us apart
They want to see us, want to see us alone
They want to see us, want to see us apart

And I, just want to feel you're there
And I don't want to have to share our love
I try, but I get overwhelmed
When you're gone I have no one to tell
And I, just want to feel you're there
And I don't want to have to share our love
I try but I get overwhelmed
All wrapped in cellophane, the feelings that we had

And didn't I do it for you?
Why don't I do it for you?
Why won't you do it for me?
When all I do is for you?
And didn't I do it for you?
Why won't I do it for you?
Why won't you do it for me?
When all I do is for you?

But I, just want to feel you're there
And I don't want to have to share our love
I try but I get overwhelmed
When you're gone, I have no one to tell

They're waiting
They're watching
They're watching us
They're hating
They're waiting
And hoping
I'm not enough
