Hold Your Fire

Hold your fire
Not that I mind killing you
Not that I mind killing myself
It's just not the right view for my frightened eyes to see
Hold your fire
Soften your fist
You never do
And as far as I'm concerned, you never will
Don't you look at me
As if I had something to tell you
I don't play this game
Hell, I got my own shield to maintain
And I'm sick of wars
Hold your fire
Not that I mind killing you
Not that I mind killing myself
See, I'm not a diamond in the rough
I'm both the rock and the one you're throwin' at
Don't you look at me
As if I had something to tell you
I don't play this game
Hell I got my own shield to maintain
And I'm sick of wars
See, I'm not a diamond in the rough
I'm both the rock and the one you're throwin' at

Moonlit Night

It's a moonlit night
Your eyes are my stars
It's a moonlit night
I fear the dark
It's a moonlit night
And maybe I shouldn't have thought about it
But I fear the dark
Your eyes are my stars
And you shine above
It's a moonlit night
Your eyes are my stars
It's a moonlit night
I fear the dark
It's a moonlit night
And maybe I shouldn't have thought about it
But I fear the dark
Your eyes are my stars
And you shine above
It's a moonlit night
And maybe I shouldn't have thought about it
But I fear the dark
Your eyes are my stars
And you shine above

After All

may everything be washed to the sea
may everything be washed to the sea
it has always been simpler at your side
but even if i tried to get back,
the fragrance of fresh air would kill me
you left me
the way you wouldn't even leave yourself
you left me
yearning for the void of morning light
lost in your fiction
lost in your soul
and after all, i roam where i roam
somehow waves find their way to shore
i have always been here to prove you wrong
with a smile with a sigh
you left me
the way you wouldn't even leave yourself
you left me
yearning for the void of morning light
lost in your fiction
lost in your soul
may everything be washed to the sea
may everything be washed to the sea

Straight Out The Window
04:52
|
|||
|
You were too busy claiming a seat
For your calculated acts
Why shall I dig in
Why shall I dig in
You hold on to what keeps you hard as stone
Even when sudden and brief
Why shall I dig in
Why shall I dig in
I climb the mountains
I sail the seas
I find a path and sink my feet
Some flourish when appeased, when mellow
They make sure to think it through
I jump headfirst, hazy
Straight out the window
I jump headfirst, hazy
Straight out the window
Something went terribly wrong
But you're not willing to admit
Why shall I dig in
Why shall I dig in
I climb the mountains
I sail the seas
I find a path and sink my feet
Some flourish when appeased, when mellow
They make sure to think it through
I jump headfirst, hazy
Straight out the window
I jump headfirst, hazy
I jump headfirst, hazy
Straight out the window
You were too busy claiming a seat
For your calculated acts
Why shall I dig in
Why shall I dig in

Porcelain Dolls
03:37
|

|
I'm not safe for you
disobeying is my artform
I pick my battles wisely
and I couldn't pick you
I couldn't pick you
it is not my fault
if your pockets are empty
if your poison is as efficient
as the light at the end of the tunnel
porcelain dolls are meant to sit on the shelf
tell stories to the passing by
count the hours as the years go by
I'll stir up the waters
in your quiet mind
and I'll fill up with need
to plot the next war
porcelain dolls are meant to sit on the shelf
tell stories to the passing by
count the hours as the years go by

Forest
02:49

Beyond the darkness
soon appears my adorned forest
speaklessly loud, speaklessly loud
the clocks have been broken
gone with what seems to be forgotten
knowing what sound it'll make to collapse
Is that a white cloud?
Is that a green tree?
It used to be safer, I recall
Is that a white cloud?
Is that a green tree?
Well, I have to admit, I've never felt so free
inside the forest
i witness my flame at its darkest
i seek joy, i seek pain
try to close my eyes
raindrops firmly keep them open
everything turns red
Is that a white cloud?
Is that a green tree?
it used to be safer, I recall
Is that a white cloud?
Is that a green tree?
Well, I have to admit, I've never felt so free
I'm off the track
I lost my mind
I have seen enough to make me blind
Is that a white cloud?
Is that a green tree?
it used to be safer, I recall
Is that a white cloud?
Is that a green tree?
Is that sickening sight all I can see?

Stray Dogs
03:40

This is the final release
All the stray dogs are now in the streets
Looking for shelter
And this hunger, no one can ease
I released the leash inside of me
Now I'll get your attention
You're my guide
I need no savior
You're my guide
Of human behavior
All the fingers are pointed at me
Don't you know stray dogs carry disease?
Well, that's not my problem
Some get fear while some get relief
Someone used to shout that in my ear
You'll do just fine
You're my guide
I need no savior
You're my guide
Of human behavior
I need no saving
Does it look like I do?
For whoever saves me
Only sharpens my thrust
You're my guide
I need no savior
You're my guide
Of every scent and flavor
I need no saving
Does it look like I do?
For whoever saves me
Whoever saves me
Whoever saves me
Only sharpens my thrust

The Sinner

here, come take what's yours
come take what's yours
it was never mine anyway
yeah please, come and take what's yours
come take what's yours
fade like darkness in the morning light
who are you to shatter my dreams
yeah and who are you for a sinner like me
for a sinner like me
and now, it's all behind
it's all behind
certainly better to shut your eyes
yeah now, it's all behind
it's all behind
you have no reason to be afraid
cause I'm so glad to tell you I'm gone
someone found my bottle on the ocean shore
and I'm the sweetest cutie pie you'll ever have
who are you for a sinner like me
for a dreamer like me
for a lover like me
and I'm the sweetest cutie pie
and I'm the sweetest cutie pie you'll ever have

Singing For You
02:25

I'm singing for you
you only sweet you
I'm singing for you to come back
I'm singing for you
you fine, lovely you
I'm singing for you to come back
I carry ill wind
something tells me you carry it too
I scheme your fingers gently touching mine
it takes a long journey to be partners in crime
and now I'm singing for you
you came along with bare feet
allowing me to grow
again I scheme your fingers gently touching mine
it's too late baby, we are partners in crime
and now I'm singing for you

Ella Mar Israel
Ella Mar's music behaves like a gentle, multi-dimensional blend of
synth-integrated alternative rock, folk
and jazz, always meandering between intensity and softness and creating her own rather-haunted and vulnerable emotional world. Her edgy, oftentimes acheful lyrics create a constant contrast with her tender and soothing voice.
