Soft, cut the pleasure of the night with the morning.
(When you say you're in love does it feel like a knot, does it hurt like a lot?)
Rough, split the trouble with the night to go hiding.
(When you look from above, do I seem like a lot, do I feel like a rock?)
I remember you say, "Oh, I love you, but love is brutal when you're at my house."
I'm sick, sick, sick, sick of this
Give it all that I got but then I cause a lot of mischief
Sick, sick, sick, sick of this
Give it all that I got but then I cause a lot of mischief.
Cause it's you motherfucker, you choose, motherfucker, I do motherfucker will you take me as I am? Cause it's you motherfucker, you choose, motherfucker, I do motherfucker will you take me as I am?
Pissed and stupid. Real confused. So nice for ya...
Wrapped in the smoke of the right kind of evening.
(When you say you're in love does it feel like a knot, does it hurt like a lot?)
Soaked in the shine of the light, a warning.
(When you look from above, do I seem like a lot, do I feel like a rock?)
Oh, love is brutal when you're at my house!
I'm sick, sick, sick, sick of this
Give it all that I got but then I cause a lot of mischief
Sick, sick, sick, sick of this
Give it all that I got but then I cause a lot of mischief.
Cause it's you motherfucker, you choose, motherfucker, I do motherfucker will you take me as I am? Cause it's you motherfucker, you choose, motherfucker, I do motherfucker will you take me as I am?
Pissed and stupid. Real confused. So nice...
Once I was a rag doll, then I was a saint.
Yesterday was pure heartache.
And all I've got to say is it was so close to being, so close to being
Supposed to be beautiful.
So close to being, so close to being,
Supposed to be beautiful.
I'm sick, sick, sick, sick of this
Give it all that I got but then I cause a lot of mischief
Sick, sick, sick, sick of this
Give it all that I got but then I cause a lot of mischief.
Cause it's you motherfucker, you choose, motherfucker, I do motherfucker will you take me as I am? Cause it's you motherfucker, you choose, motherfucker, I do motherfucker will you take me as I am?
Pissed and stupid. Real confused. So nice for ya...

Dark and twisted electronic music perfect for a midnight trip or fever dream... this record always transforms me to a different, sexier, more violent place. Amélie Swann
"I love you but I'm lost" makes me cry every time. It's perfect and the kind of song I aspire to make. Listen to the whole album for the full experience!!! Amélie Swann
The gothy songs on the latest EP from Raven Ives are full of haunting shadows, with ghostly vocals drifting through an ocean of synth. Bandcamp New & Notable May 23, 2022
There’s a mighty cinematic sweep in the songs on the latest from Badlands, the big and imposing orchestration with dreamlike vocals. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 27, 2022
