EP: Tempting Fate (2023)


 











Tempting Fate lyrics - Beth Crowley

 You could have anyone you want

You know it's true

People will fall over themselves

To get to you

And there's not a soul who understands

Why you chose me

But they don't have to


I have been perfectly content

Watching from the wings

As you become the legend you

Aspire to be

I've warned you the power that you crave

Comes at a price

But you won't hear me


Why are you tempting fate?

I see the way you've changed

Into someone I don't recognize

A stranger I have to walk behind

Pride goes before the fall

You're going to lose it all

If you let the precious time we borrowed

Slip away

Because you're tempting fate


You are so vividly alive

I often think

The sun must be jealous that

You burn more beautifully

Sometimes I wish I could keep your light

All to myself

But you'd resent me


Why are you tempting fate?

I see the way you've changed

Into someone I don't recognize

A stranger I have to walk behind

Pride goes before the fall

You're going to lose it all

If you let the precious time we borrowed

Slip away

Because you're tempting fate


If you don't live

To see your glory

But your name will be

In all the stories

Does that make leaving me

Worth leaving your legacy?

Does that make leaving me

Worth leaving your legacy?


Why are you tempting fate?

I see the way you've changed

Into someone I don't recognize

A stranger I have to walk behind

Pride goes before the fall

You're going to lose it all

If you let the precious time we borrowed

Slip away

Because you're tempting fate

The Worst Betrayal lyrics - Beth Crowley

 Shaky hands, heavy heart

One breath away from falling apart

It's my best-kept secret


Built a house made of glass

Won't let you close enough to see the cracks

'Cause I can't show weakness


If deception is an art form

You're looking at a fucking connoisseur


Nobody talks a bigger game than me

Spins their half-truths quite as convincingly

But you knew exactly what would hurt the most

And you dealt me the final blow


I have to say the worst betrayal is

You standing there acting all innocent

Like your good intentions were just misguided

Well I don't buy it


Endless days, sleepless nights

A false bravado to hide behind

But you saw right through it


And every instinct

Told me to run

From the force that

We could become

But you made me

Believe it was worth the jump


Nobody talks a bigger game than me

Spins their half-truths quite as convincingly

But you knew exactly what would hurt the most

And you dealt me the final blow


I have to say the worst betrayal is

You standing there acting all innocent

Like your good intentions were just misguided

Well I don't buy it


If chaos is a crusade

You're looking at a fucking renegade


Nobody talks a bigger game than me

Spins their half-truths quite as convincingly

But you knew exactly what would hurt the most

And you dealt me the final blow


I have to say the worst betrayal is

You standing there acting all innocent

Like your good intentions were just misguided

Well I don't buy it


But when all is said and done

You're still the one I want

WARRIOR X lyrics - Beth Crowley

 You fascinated me

Cloaked in shadows and secrecy

The beauty of a broken angel

I ventured carefully

Afraid of what you thought I'd be

But pretty soon I was entangled


You take me by the hand

I question who I am


Teach me how to fight

I'll show you how to win

You're my mortal flaw

And I'm your fatal sin

Let me feel the sting

The pain, the burn under my skin


Put me to the test

I'll prove that I am strong

Won't let myself believe

That what we feel is wrong

I finally see what you knew was

Inside me all along

That behind this soft exterior

Lies a warrior


My memory refused

To separate the lies from truth

And search the past my mind created

I kept on pushing through

Standing resolute which you

In equal measure loved and hated


You take me by the hand

I'm seeing who I am


Teach me how to fight

I'll show you how to win

You're my mortal flaw

And I'm your fatal sin

Let me feel the sting

The pain, the burn under my skin


Put me to the test

I'll prove that I am strong

Won't let myself believe

That what we feel is wrong

I finally see what you knew was

Inside me all along

That behind this soft exterior

Lies a warrior


Lies a warrior


You take me by the hand

I'm sure of who I am


Teach me how to fight

I'll show you how to win

You're my mortal flaw

And I'm your fatal sin

Let me feel the sting

The pain, the burn under my skin


Put me to the test

I'll prove that I am strong

Won't let myself believe

That what we feel is wrong

I finally see what you knew was

Inside me all along

That behind this soft exterior

Lies a warrior


Lies a warrior


The pictures come to life

Wake in the dead of night

Open my eyes, I must be dreaming

Clutch my pillow tight

Brace myself for the fight

I've heard that seeing is believing

Sacred Oath lyrics - Beth Crowley

 Time betrayed the both of us

It was never on our side

We never had enough


Fate came in to twist the knife

I got second chance

Only to lose you twice


Some days I'm so mad

I can't think straight

Plotting the revenge

That I won't take

Anger rolling through me

In shockwaves


Won't you stay

Just stay with me

With me


I have sins I won't deny

But if this is punishment

It doesn't fit the crime


Some days I'm so sad

I can't stand it

Got this far to come up

Empty-handed

One more dream I had

To abandon


Won't you stay

Just stay with me

With me


I remember how

You treated me

Like a sacred oath

You were bound to keep

When we washed away

Our history

You still loved me when

I wasn't clean


And I reach for you

When the nights get cold

It's a habit that I

Never broke

You have always been

The only home I need


So stay

Stay


Won't you stay

Just stay with me

Please

Stay

Won't you stay

With me

With me



Cold-Blooded lyrics - Beth Crowley

 I tried my best

At playing nice

But it's a cutthroat world

So I'm guarding mine


Weakness is

As weakness does

To stay alive

Is not good enough


I've seen things

That would break most people

But I'm not most people


On my own

My power uncontrolled

It's intoxicating

And I can't satisfy this craving


I watch as my enemies

Are reduced to nothing

And I love it

'Cause I'm that cold-blooded


I live by

One simple truth

That if you dare cross me

I'm doing worse to you


So if my hands

Are stained with blood

It's worth it to

Be victorious


I've done things

That would haunt most people

But I'm not most people


On my own

My power uncontrolled

It's intoxicating

And I can't satisfy this craving


I watch as my enemies

Are reduced to nothing

And I love it

'Cause I'm that cold-blooded


No remorse

No regrets

And I am only

Getting started


Mark my words

I won't settle

For less than I deserve


On my own

My power uncontrolled

It's intoxicating

And I can't satisfy this craving


I watch as my enemies

Are reduced to nothing

And I love it

'Cause I'm that cold-blooded


The Ghost Who Is Still Alive lyrics - Beth Crowley

 I struck a deal with the devil

Masquerading as a God

I sold my soul

Now I'm all alone

With my bruised and battered heart


One day I'll have the freedom

To finally leave a mark

'Til then I'll just be

Dancing with the dark


I am

The whisper of a memory

I am

The fear you might have lost your mind

I am

The face you don't remember

But you have seen a thousand times

The ghost who is still alive


I didn't know any better

Thought that I was being saved

I let him take my hand

As he led me in

To a different kind of cage


Does a life have any meaning

If no one knows your name?

If not then I'm the

Only one to blame


I am

The whisper of a memory

I am

The fear you might have lost your mind

I am

The face you don't remember

But you have seen a thousand times

The ghost who is still alive


I watch the time

Tick tick away

On a broken clock

Made without a face

I once begged for more

What a sacrifice I made


I am

The whisper of a memory

I am

The fear you might have lost your mind

I am

The face you don't remember

But you have seen a thousand times

The ghost who is still alive


I struck a deal with the devil

EP: What You Need (2017)













Monster lyrics - Beth Crowley

 I sleep all day

I prowl at night

Do anything to feel alive

I'm in the end just what you made me


I look the same

But I'm not fine

The Master of my own disguise

If you knew the truth you'd probably hate me


I need a fight

I've got you in my sights

Only one of us will make it out alive


I'm turning into a monster

You better run and hide

I'm turning into a monster

Right before your eyes

My tongue is a weapon

And I'm locked and loaded

When you least expect it

You won't know it's coming

And I'll strike, cause I'm a monster


I'm merciless, when will you learn?

Set fires just to watch them burn

I bet you never saw me coming

Delirium takes over me

You're just another casualty

I can hear your heartbeat drumming


I need a fight

I've got you in my sights

Only one of us will make it out alive


I'm turning into a monster

You better run and hide

I'm turning into a monster

Right before your eyes

My tongue is a weapon

And I'm locked and loaded

When you least expect it

You won't know it's coming

And I'll strike, cause I'm a monster


I'm turning into a monster

You better run and hide

I'm turning into a monster

Right before your eyes

My tongue is a weapon

And I'm locked and loaded

When you least expect it

You won't know it's coming

And I'll strike, cause I'm a monster

I'm a monster


What You Need lyrics - Beth Crowley

 Countless times

We've said it was over

Made up our minds

We shouldn't be lovers


But I hear life has made you jaded

And the light you had is faded

And I wonder, would you still shine for me?


Just call it intuition

I have tried hard not to listen

But a voice keeps saying I'm what you need


Months go by

And it's radio silence

I'll be resigned

That your name won't pass my lips


But then you call me up one day

And my resolve just melts away

And I can't help but fall into you again


I know I have to quit

I catch myself before admitting

It's not good enough to just be your friend


But deep down

I know you only miss me

Because my face brings back your memories

Of a better time

When you felt alive


It's hard to give you up

Our best was never quite enough

We weren't supposed to last

I'm never going back


I hear life has made you jaded

And the light you had is faded

But I think you're finished shining for me

You're complacent in the dark

And now we're miles and years apart

I hope one day you finally find what you need

Why won't you figure out what you really need

I wish I could have the person you need

Living Without You lyrics - Beth Crowley

 I walk alone

Pace up and down the streets we used to know

'Cause our house no longer feels much like home

It hasn't for a while


I hum along

Listening to all your favorite songs

Close my eyes and just imagine you're not gone

Remembering your smile


I write you letters that you'll never read

Paint you pictures you will never see

In all my life I never thought I'd be

Living without you


I lost of part of me I'll never find

But I keep searching, looking for a sign

You haven't gone and left me far behind

Living without you


It's getting late

Amongst the crowd I swear I see your face

Turn around have to do a double take

Though I know it won't be you


I hear your voice

A symphony that soars above the noise

Telling me that now I've got to make a choice

Stay still or start anew


I write you letters that you'll never read

Paint you pictures you will never see

In all my life I never thought I'd be

Living without you


I lost of part of me I'll never find

But I keep searching, looking for a sign

You haven't gone and left me far behind

Living without you


I'll try to finish what you started

Be the person that you wanted

See the beauty in the world


They say a person never leaves you

God, I'm hoping that might be true

But this is always going to hurt


I write you letters that you'll never read

Paint you pictures you will never see

In all my life I never thought I'd be

Living without you


I lost of part of me I'll never find

But I keep searching, looking for a sign

You haven't gone and left me far behind

Living without you


Battle Cry lyrics - Beth Crowley

 I have no heart, just ice and stone

Made up of nails and teeth and bone

And I know exactly what I'm for

To hurt and destroy and nothing more


And if it's true that I was made

I still don't know if I can change


But something has stirred

A beast has awakened

Opened a door

There's no mistaking

Waging a war

It's fighting inside of me


So hear my battle cry

I'm out for blood to claim what's mine

Finally questioning

If I am my own worst

I am my own worst

I am my own worst enemy


I never thought that I could love

Strangers at night were good enough

But love's not a thing you get to choose

Try to resist you'll always lose


I made a deal to sell my soul

But lately, I have dared to hope


That something has stirred

A beast has awakened

Opened a door

There's no mistaking

Waging a war

It's fighting inside of me


So hear my battle cry

I'm out for blood to claim what's mine

Finally

Questioning

If I am my own worst

I am my own worst

I am my own worst enemy


Tell my secrets to the wind

Flying I feel infinite


'Cause something has stirred

A beast has awakened

Opened a door

There's no mistaking

Waging a war

It's fighting inside of me


So hear my battle cry

I'm out for blood to claim what's mine

Finally

Questioning

If I am my own worst

I am my own worst

I am my own worst enemy

Don't Think Just Run lyrics - Beth Crowley

 You don't know yet where you're going

If it's better than where you are coming from

Settle down

This feels right somehow


You meet twists and turns every corner

But each step you take brings you closer

To everything that's achingly familiar


And at the edges of your mind, your mind

Something is whispering to go

Into the unknown

And see what you find


So deep breath in

You're meant for this

Everyone wants to know

If you're the answer they've been searching for

All eyes on you

So much to prove

Whoever you were back then

You won't ever be again

Remember how far you've come

Don't think just run


You forced yourself to dig deeper

When you redefined the impossible

Can't give in

To the hopelessness


Some rules are meant to be broken

You won't be confined by them anymore

This might be your one chance at redemption


It's all or nothing

Make your stand, you stand

You reached the edge there is no choice

Now you have to jump

And see where you land


So deep breath in

You're meant for this

Everyone wants to know

If you're the answer they've been searching for

All eyes on you

So much to prove

Whoever you were back then

You won't ever be again

Remember how far you've come

Don't think just run


There might be peace on the other side

Your memories on the other side

Nothing to lose on the other side


You won't be scared of the other side

What might be there on the other side

The world is new on the other side


So deep breath in

You're meant for this

Everyone wants to know

If you're the answer they've been searching for

All eyes on you

So much to prove

Whoever you were back then

You won't ever be again

Remember how far you've come

Don't think just run
