"This Is Acting" (2016)

Bird Set Free lyrics - Sia

Clipped wings, I was a broken thing
Had a voice, had a voice but I could not sing
You would wind me down
I struggled on the ground
So lost, the line had been crossed
Had a voice, had a voice but I could not talk
You held me down
I struggle to fly now

But there's a scream inside that we all try to hide
We hold on so tight, we cannot deny
Eats us alive, oh it eats us alive
Yes, there's a scream inside that we all try to hide
We hold on so tight, but I don't wanna die, no
I don't wanna die, I don't wanna die

And I don't care if I sing off key
I find myself in my melodies
I sing for love, I sing for me
I shout it out like a bird set free
No I don't care if I sing off key
I find myself in my melodies
I sing for love, I sing for me
I'll shout it out like a bird set free
I'll shout it out like a bird set free
I'll shout it out like a bird set free

Now I fly, hit the high notes
I have a voice, have a voice, hear me roar tonight
You held me down
But I fought back loud

But there's a scream inside that we all try to hide
We hold on so tight, we cannot deny
Eats us alive, oh it eats us alive
Yes, there's a scream inside that we all try to hide
We hold on so tight, but I don't wanna die, no
I don't wanna die, I don't wanna die

And I don't care if I sing off key
I find myself in my melodies
I sing for love, I sing for me
I shout it out like a bird set free
No I don't care if I sing off key
I find myself in my melodies
I sing for love, I sing for me
I'll shout it out like a bird set free
I'll shout it out like a bird set free
I'll shout it out like a bird set free
I'll shout it out like a bird set free
I'll shout it out like a bird set free
I'll shout it out like a bird set free

Alive lyrics - Sia

I was born in a thunderstorm
I grew up overnight
I played alone
I'm playing on my own
I survived

Hey
I wanted everything I never had
Like the love that comes with light
I wore envy and I hated that
But I survived

I had a one-way ticket to a place where all the demons go
Where the wind don't change
And nothing in the ground can ever grow
No hope, just lies
And you're taught to cry into your pillow
But I survived

I'm still breathing [4x]
I'm alive [4x]

I found solace in the strangest place
Way in the back of my mind
I saw my life in a stranger's face
And it was mine

I had a one-way ticket to a place where all the demons go
Where the wind don't change
And nothing in the ground can ever grow
No hope, just lies
And you're taught to cry into your pillow
But I survived

I'm still breathing [4x]
I'm alive [4x]

You took it all, but I'm still breathing [8x]

I have made every single mistake
That you could ever possibly make
I took and I took and I took what you gave
But you never noticed that I was in pain
I knew what I wanted; I went out and got it
Did all the things that you said that I wouldn't
I told you that I would never be forgotten
And all in spite of you

And I'm still breathing
I'm still breathing
I'm still breathing
I'm still breathing
I'm alive (You took it out, but I'm still breathing)
(You took it out, but I'm still breathing)
I'm alive (You took it out, but I'm still breathing)
(You took it out, but I'm still breathing)
I'm alive (You took it out, but I'm still breathing)
(You took it out, but I'm still breathing)
I'm alive

I'm alive [4x]

One Million Bullets lyrics - Sia

Under the moonlight
Within your warm embrace
I feel so safe here babe
You were worth the wait
Yeah I picked the wrong kind
Time after time
I drank from the poisoned wine
Yeah I picked the wrong kind
But baby you're all right baby
I've seen the light

I got a feeling, I got a feeling
Danger is coming, danger is coming
Danger is coming,
Oh oh oh
I got a feeling, I got a feeling
The war has been won here, the war has been won here
Ohhhhh

Under the moonlight, under your moonlit gaze
I know that I'd take one million bullets babe
Yeah, one million bullets could come my way
I want you to know that I'd take a million babe

How many would you take?
How many would you take?
How many would you take?
How many would you take?
Cause I'd take one million bullets babe

If you were a poet and I was a faultless muse
If you were the hero, yeah, I'd take a bullet for you
So take me in your arms, take me for all I have
Cause I'd give my life for one of your belly laughs

I got a feeling, I got a feeling
Danger is coming, danger is coming
Danger is coming,
Oh oh oh
I got a feeling, I got a feeling
The war has been won here, the war has been won here
Ohhhhh

Under the moonlight, under your moonlit gaze
I know that I'd take one million bullets babe
Yeah, one million bullets could come my way
But I want you to know that I'd take a million babe

How many would you take?
How many would you take?
How many would you take?
How many would you take?
Cause I'd take one million bullets babe

Move Your Body lyrics - Sia

Poetry in your body
You got it in every way
And can't you see it's you I am watching
I am hot for you in every way
And turn around, let me see you
Wanna free you with my rhythm
I know you can't get enough
When I turn up with my rhythm

Your body's poetry, speak to me
Won't you let me be your rhythm tonight?
Move your body, move your body
I wanna be your muse, do your music
And let me be your rhythm tonight
Move your body, move your body

Won't you let me be your rhythm tonight
Move your body, move your body
I wanna be your muse, do your music
And let me be your rhythm tonight
Move your body, move your body

Pain in your body
Got you started or never end
Feel my rhythm in your system
This is heaven, I'm your only friend
Feel the beat in your chest
Beat your chest like an animal
Free the beast from it's cage
Free the rage like an animal

Your body's poetry, speak to me
Won't you let me be your rhythm tonight?
Move your body, move your body
I wanna be your muse, do your music
And let me be your rhythm tonight
Move your body, move your body

And let me be your rhythm tonight
Move your body, move your body
Your body's poetry, speak to me
Won't you let me be your rhythm tonight
Move your body, move your body
I wanna be your muse, do your music
And let me be your rhythm tonight
Move your body, move your body

Unstoppable lyrics - Sia

I'll smile, I know what it takes to fool this town
I'll do it 'til the sun goes down
And all through the night time
Oh yeah, I'll tell you what you want to hear
Keep my sunglasses on while I shed a tear
It's never the right time, yeah, yeah

I'll put my armor on, Show you how strong I am
I'll put my armor on, I'll show you that I am

I'm unstoppable
I'm a Porsche with no brakes
I'm invincible
Yes I'll win every single game
I'm so powerful
I don't need batteries to play
I'm so confident
I'm unstoppable today
Unstoppable today [x3]
I'm unstoppable today

I break down, Only alone I will cry out loud
You'll never see what's hiding out
Hiding out deep down, yeah, yeah
I know I've heard that to let your feelings show
Is the only way to make friendships grow
But I'm too afraid now, yeah, yeah

I'll put my armor on, Show you how strong I am
I'll put my armor on, I'll show you that I am

I'm unstoppable
I'm a Porsche with no brakes
I'm invincible
Yes I'll win every single game
I'm so powerful
I don't need batteries to play
I'm so confident
I'm unstoppable today
Unstoppable today [x3]
I'm unstoppable today
Unstoppable today [x3]
I'm unstoppable today

I'll put my armor on, Show you how strong I am
I'll put my armor on, I'll show you that I am

I'm unstoppable
I'm a Porsche with no brakes
I'm invincible
Yes I'll win every single game
I'm so powerful
I don't need batteries to play
I'm so confident
I'm unstoppable today
Unstoppable today [x3]
I'm unstoppable today
Unstoppable today [x3]
I'm unstoppable today

Reaper lyrics - Sia

Broke down, thought that I would drown
Hope that I'd be found, 'fore I hit the ground
Some days out the corner of my eye, hey
Saw you weeping, saw you creeping, saw you sneaking
In the shadows long the fear so strong
Saw you out the corner of my eye

Don't come for me today
I'm feeling good, let me savor it
Don't come for me today
I'm feeling good and I remember when

You came to take me away
So close I was to heaven's gates
But no baby, no baby, not today
Oh, you tried to track me down
You followed me like the darkest cloud
But no baby, no baby, not today
(Reaper) Oh the reaper
(Reaper) Oh no baby, no baby, not today
(Reaper) Oh the reaper
(Reaper) Oh no baby, no baby, not today

So come back when I'm good and old
I got drinks to drink, and men to hold
I got good things to do with my life, yeah
Oh, I wanna dance in the open breeze
Feel the wind in my hair, hear the ocean sing
I got good things to feel in my life, yeah

Don't come for me today
I'm feeling good, let me savour it
Don't come for me today
I'm feeling good, I remember when

You came to take me away
So close I was to heaven's gates
But no baby, no baby, not today
Oh, you tried to track me down
You followed me like the darkest cloud
But no baby, no baby, not today
(Reaper) Oh the reaper
(Reaper) Oh no baby, no baby, not today
(Reaper) Oh the reaper
(Reaper) Oh no baby, no baby, not today

Reaper

House On Fire lyrics - Sia

I don't like to wait too long, to wait too long, wait too long
Figured out I'm burning slow, but I burn babe
I feel the pain and it feels good, I know it would
Your heart burns slow, I feel the pain and I cry out, I cry out

I need you, I need you
Babe I want to drink you in
Like oxygen, like oxygen

Baby I'm a house on fire
And I want to keep burning
I'm going on up in flames
And you're to blame
Yeah, you're to blame
Baby I'm a house on fire
And I want to keep burning
I want to keep burning
I want to keep burning
I want to keep burning
Baby I'm a house on fire
I want to keep burning
I want to keep burning
I want to keep burning
Baby I'm a house on fire

So take me to the heavens now
As we burn down, as we are found
Take me to the heavens now
My heart screams out

I need you, I need you
Babe I want to drink you in
Like oxygen, like oxygen

Baby I'm a house on fire
And I want to keep burning
I'm going on up in flames
And you're to blame
Yeah, you're to blame
Baby I'm a house on fire
And I want to keep burning
I want to keep burning
I want to keep burning
I want to keep burning
Baby I'm a house on fire
I want to keep burning
I want to keep burning
I want to keep burning
Baby I'm a house on fire

Love me, to the beat of a drum, to the beat of a drum yeah
Love me, till the walls give in yeah
Love me, to the beat of a drum, to the beat of a drum yeah
Love me, I don't wanna say yeah

Baby I want to drink you in
Like oxygen, like oxygen

Baby I'm a house on fire
And I want to keep burning

Footprints lyrics - Sia

I've fallen through the floor again
Crashed into the basement
The pain was swallowing me
I was like a lead balloon
I couldn't even get up to turn
The lights on
The dark was swallowing me

Lord knows you can't trust your head
When you're standing on the edge
Of breaking down
Lord knows you can't trust your head
When you're hanging by a thread
I was breaking down

And I saw only two footprints in the sand
Thought you'd abandoned me and
Let go of my hand
But you were carrying me
Carrying me to safety
Two footprints, your footprints in the sand
Two footprints, two footprints, your footprints in the sand
Two footprints, your footprints in the sand

Oh, I forgot the things I knew
It was I who'd abandoned you
Forgive me, I was lost in doubt
Who would never've left my side
Picked me up when I thought I would die
You helped me, and I was found

Lord knows you can't trust your head
When you're standing on the edge
Of breaking down
Lord knows you can't trust your head
When you're hanging by a thread
I was breaking down

And I saw only two footprints in the sand
Thought you'd abandoned me and
Let go of my hand
But you were carrying me
Carrying me to safety
Two footprints, your footprints in the sand
Two footprints, two footprints, your footprints in the sand
Two footprints, your footprints in the sand

Sweet Design lyrics - Sia

"Thong Song", I'm a bring the part two
G'Donk, G'donk, I'm a make you blush fool
My junk hypnotize the whole room
Bump, bump, I'm a rub it up on you

Broken Glass lyrics - Sia

Lay down your arms
I don't wanna fight anymore
Rough seas will be calm
Hold on while we weather the storm

We fall down like dogs playing dead
But our love's not worth playing chicken with

I'm not discarding you like broken glass
There are no winners when the die is cast
There's only tears when it's the final chance
So don't give up, it's just young lovers' romance
So don't give up, it's just young lovers' romance

This too shall pass
We're right where we're meant to be
There's things I don't ask
What I don't know can't hurt me

We fall down like dogs playing dead
But our love's not worth playing chicken with

I'm not discarding you like broken glass
There are no winners when the die is cast
There's only tears when it's the final chance
So don't give up, it's just young lovers' romance
So don't give up, it's just young lovers' romance
So don't give up, it's just young lovers' romance
So don't give up, it's just young lovers' romance
I'm not discarding you like broken glass
There are no winners when the die is cast
There's only tears when it's the final chance
So don't give up, it's just young lovers' romance
I'm not discarding you like broken glass
There are no winners when the die is cast
There's only tears when it's the final change
So don't give up, it's just young lovers' romance
Don't give up, it's just young lovers' romance
Don't give up, it's just young lovers' romance

I'm not discarding you like broken glass
I'm not discarding you like broken glass
I'm not discarding you like broken glass
So don't give up, it's just young lovers' romance

Space Between lyrics - Sia

A neverending sentence in my head
We lay hollow in the emptiness
I'm too tired to push you from the bed

No more fighting, there's no more fighting
There's no more fighting for us

Fill the void in our bed
The space between is deafening
Oh, we don't bend, we're breaking
The space between is deafening
The space between is deafening

No one's moving, we lack the courage to
We lay in stalemate, wishing the other would
But we're too tired, we let the embers cool

No more fighting, there's no more fighting
There's no more fighting for us

Fill the void in our bed
The space between is deafening
Oh, we don't bend, we're breaking
The space between is deafening

No more fighting, we've given up now
Silence says more than words
Imagination cures loneliness
When you become a prisoner

Fill the void in our bed
The space between is deafening
Oh, we don't bend, we're breaking
The space between is deafening

First Fighting A Sandstorm lyrics - Sia

I fought so hard for your heart, on the way down
And I thought that I could save you from destruction

But I was never in contro-o-ol, never in control
Fighting another war
No I was never in contro-o-ol, never in control
Fighting another war

Was fist fighting a sandstorm
Now I ain't boxing anymore
I'm letting go and it's beautiful
Fist fighting a sandstorm
Fist fighting a sandstorm
Is a losing battle
Was fist fighting a sandstorm
Fighting a sandstorm
Fighting a sandstorm
Was fist fighting a sandstorm
Was fist fighting a sandstorm
But I won't fight it anymore
I'm letting go and it's beautiful

I was hurting, I couldn't let go, I couldn't leave you
And I told myself, though it was hell, that we'd push through

But I was never in contro-o-ol, never in control
Fighting another war
No I was never in contro-o-ol, never in control
Fighting another war

Was fist fighting a sandstorm
Now I ain't boxing anymore
I'm letting go and it's beautiful
Fist fighting a sandstorm
Fist fighting a sandstorm
Is a losing battle
Was fist fighting a sandstorm
Fighting a sandstorm
Fighting a sandstorm
Was fist fighting a sandstorm
Was fist fighting a sandstorm
But I won't fight it anymore
I'm letting go and it's beautiful

But I was never in contro-o-ol, never in control
Fighting another war
No I was never in contro-o-ol, never in control
Fighting another war

Was fist fighting a sandstorm
Now I ain't boxing anymore
I'm letting go and it's beautiful
Fist fighting a sandstorm
Fist fighting a sandstorm
Is a losing battle
Was fist fighting a sandstorm
Fighting a sandstorm
Fighting a sandstorm
Was fist fighting a sandstorm
Was fist fighting a sandstorm
But I won't fight it anymore
I'm letting go and it's beautiful

Summer Rain lyrics - Sia

My summer rain

I prepared for the worst in a storm
It doesn't take long before I'm shaking
I watch the news end, wait for the forecast
I fill a tall glass, try to be patient
It's been a long time, I feel my temperature rise
You might be moving too fast, oh
Wait for the sirens, sit in the silence
I sit on my hands

I feel the breeze, feel the sea swelling and drowning me
I feel the night, feel the sunlight, I feel everything
I feel your love, and I'm done and I surrender now
I want whatever you've got so bring 'em, bring 'em down

I thought you were a hurricane
Turns out you were the summer rain
You came
To wash away all of my pain
I needed you in every way
My summer rain
My summer rain
My summer rain
My summer rain

I was mistaken, but I feel safe here
So now we're making some kind of rainbow
The storm has broken, two words are spoken
And I am soaking in all your love so
Love me for all time, and feel my temperature rise
Thought you were moving too fast, oh
But I was just scared to let you into my head
And let you see my past

I feel the breeze, feel the sea swelling and drowning me
I feel the night, feel the sunlight, I feel everything
I feel your love, and I'm done and I surrender now
I want whatever you've got so bring 'em, bring 'em down

I thought you were a hurricane
Turns out you were the summer rain
You came
To wash away all of my pain
I needed you in every way
My summer rain

When you live in fear
You miss everything
I was struggling
When you stop fighting
The war within
Everybody wins

I thought you were a hurricane
Turns out you were the summer rain
You came
To wash away all of my pain
I needed you in every way
My summer rain
My summer rain
My summer rain
My summer rain
