Inside Out

Emmy Rossum Inside Out Lyrics
1.Slow Me Down

rushing and racing and running in circles
moving so fast I'm forgetting my purpose
blur of the traffic is sending me spinning
getting nowhere

my head and my heart are colliding chaotic
pace of the world I just wish I could stop it
Try to appear like I've got it together
I'm falling apart

save me
somebody take my hand and lead me
slow me down
don't let love pass me by
just show me how
cause I'm ready to fall

slow me down
don't let me live a lie
before my life flies by
I need you to slow me down

sometimes I fear that I might disappear
in the blur of fast forward I falter again
forgetting to breathe
I need to sleep
I'm getting nowhere


all that I've missed I see in the reflection
pass me while I wasn't paying attention
tired of rushing, racing and running
I'm falling apart

tell me
oh won't you take my hand and lead me
slow me down
don't let love pass me by
just show me how
cause I'm ready to fall

slow me down
don't let me live a lie
before my life flies by
I need you to slow me down

just show me
I need you to slow me down
slow me down
slow me down

the noise of the world is getting me caught up
chasing the clock and I wish I could stop it
just need to breathe
somebody please
slow me down


2.Inside Out

Unsew my seams
Look inside if you dare
Do you still like what you're seeing now

Secrets and sins
All exposed spilling out
Am I still safe here on this fragile ground

Inside out before you now
Bare these bones and lay me down
This suicide feels so alive
Will you take me
As I am Inside out

Moving in silence
Feel the rush hold me down
Is this too real
What you're feeling now

Ecstasy rising
Giving in, no thinking
Love will you save me
Or just turn away

Inside out before you now
Bare these bones and lay me down
This suicide feels so alive
Will you take me
As I am Inside out

Reach out for me because I am

Will you take me as I am Inside out
Bare these bones...

You'll see me


3.Stay

Lyricist:Emmy Rossum
Writer(s):Emmy Rossum

Hush now close out the light
No need to speak
Time will slow when we surrender
Whisper now over the edge
Head rush
Are you still breathing
Shiver
Taking me higher

Stay
Darkness take over now
Stay
No thinking twice
Stay for tonight
The sound of your heart racing faster for me
Is what will save me

Whisper soft
Anticipating this eclipse
Pulling you closer
Melting now covered in silk
Letting go into the stillness
Head rush careful don't drop me
Shiver taking me higher

Stay
Darkness take over now
Stay
No thinking twice
Stay for tonight
The sound of your heart racing faster for me
Is what will save me
Faster for me
Feeling you save me

Memorize every moment (Breathe)
Letting this love take you over (Breathe)
Just breathe and stay

Stay
Darkness take over now
Stay
No thinking twice
Stay for tonight
The sound of your heart racing faster for me
Faster for me
Is what will save me
Save me
Faster for me
Feeling you save me
Stay


4.Falling - Album Version

Lyricist:Emmy Rossum
Writer(s):Stuart Brawley

What's coming over me I've no control
I hear a voice saying get a hold
Of yourself you seem like
Someone else I don't know
Where have my senses gone, I lost my way
With every touch you intoxicate
Pull me in, stop making
My head spin, I'm losing it
Upside down my feet can't find the ground
My mixed up mind's a blur
I trip on every word

Cause I'm falling, falling fast
Like I always do
Tell me it won't pass
I've everything to lose
Stop me before I go too far
Go on go on keep me falling
Hold my tongue before I say too much
Please don't run I need to know because
I'm gonna let go c'mon catch me
Go on go on keep me falling

You are everywhere inside my head
And I'm all tangled up in your web
So surreal but I like how it feels
In this reverie
Just a look and I'm not thinking straight
I'm addicted I don't wanna wait
I'm letting go
Of everything that I know, I'm losing it
Up and down my spine go shock waves now
Tumbling heels over head
Lost in this maze again

Cause I'm falling, falling fast
Like I always do
Tell me it won't pass
I've everything to lose
Stop me before I go too far
Go on go on keep me falling
Hold my tongue before I say too much
Please don't run I need to know because
I'm gonna let go c'mon catch me
Go on go on keep me falling

Falling (for you)
Falling (catch me I'm)
Falling (falling for you)

Cause I'm falling, falling fast
Like I always do
Tell me it won't pass
I've everything to lose
Stop me before I go too far
Go on go on keep me falling
Hold my tongue before I say too much
Please don't run I need to know because
I'm gonna let go c'mon catch me
Go on go on keep me falling

Falling (for you)
Falling (catch me I'm)
Falling (falling for you)

Falling (for you)
Falling (catch me I'm)
Falling (falling for you)

Falling, falling fast
Tell me it won't pass


5.The Great Divide

Lyricist:Emmy Rossum
Writer(s):Stuart Brawley

Reach across the great divide
See the war behind your eyes
Finally slow the racing clock
Try so hard to make it stop

Are you listening
Are you listening
Are you listening
Don't look away
Hear me say
I need you now
I need you now
I need you now

No more throwing stones tonight
This glass house can't take the fight
Help me calm this hurricane
Before this moment slips away

Are you listening
Are you listening
Are you listening
Don't turn away
When I say
I need you now
I need you now
I need you now

Are you listening
Are you listening
Are you listening
Don't look away
Hear me say
I need you now (Are you listening)
I need you now (Are you listening)
I need you now

Don't look away
Hear me say
I need you now


6.Lullaby


Lyricist:Emmy Rossum
Writer(s):Stuart Brawley/Vince Pizzinga

Laying alone with the history that made you cold and uncertain
inside
Careful now, deep breath, the water's still rising
But your silver lining's in sight

When you feel like you're breaking down
And your body's just giving in
And you can't go on broken like this any longer

Close your eyes
Don't you cry
Let the sorrow within you subside
Don't despair
Have no fear
Give your weight to me when you hear this lullaby

You say all seems to wrong with the life that you're living
You're searching for some reasons why
You're so scared to trust, you're feeling unworthy
Aching for comfort tonight

When your heart's too sore to beat
And you feel it might never heal
And you feel not even beggars want you
I do

Close your eyes
Don't you cry
Let the sorrow within you subside
Don't despair
Have no fear
Give your weight to me when you hear this lullaby

Close your eyes
Don't you cry
Let the sorrow within you subside
Don't despair
Have no fear
Give your weight to me when you hear this lullaby

Don't you cry
Let the darkness within you feel light
Don't despair
Have no fear
You'll find comfort in me like child with this lullaby
this lullaby

Don't you cry
this lullaby
Close your eyes


7.Don't Stop Now

Lyricist:Emmy Rossum
Writer(s):Stuart Brawley/Vince Pizzinga

Follow you close four steps behind
Part of me knew all of this time
Pushed it down deep, kept it so small
To help me keep these fragile walls
From crashing down around my feet
Don't make a sound, just let you be
Lost in her face, can't turn away
This final blow helps me let go

Don't stop now, I need this to hurt
Burn it into my mind
No more second guessing anymore
This is how it ends
So don't stop now, get my head on straight
And if seeing this is what it takes
Please don't stop it now
This will be the last time

This darkened street you go to hide
Illuminates you are not mine
These tears run cold, my body numb
I am not whole, what have you done
It all makes sense, the disconnect
Too many words we left unsaid
But still I stare frozen here
Until the curtains close

Don't stop now, I need this to hurt
Burn it into my mind
No more second guessing anymore
This is how it ends
So don't stop now, get my head on straight
And if seeing this is what it takes
Please don't stop it now
This will be the last time

Don't stop now
I need to see this through until this final bow
Illusions gone, the show is done
So don't stop now

Follow you close four steps behind
Part of me knew you are not mine

So don't stop now, I need this to hurt
Burn it into my mind
No more second guessing anymore
This is how it ends
So don't stop now, get my head on straight
And if seeing this is what it takes
Please don't stop it now
This will be the last time

Don't stop now
I need to see this through until this final bow
Illusions gone, the show is done
So don't stop now


8.High

Lyricist:Emmy Rossum
Writer(s):Stuart Brawley/Michelle Lewis

Just twenty-four more hours
But I'm not breathing right
Eternity until I have you by my side
Anticipation rising
The seconds pass so slow
I listen for your heartbeat, like a knock upon the door

Feel me breathe in slow motion
Lose control
Just let go and let this dream take over

I wait for dark to fall again
So I can be alive and then
By your side I will give in to this high
Surrender now to ecstasy
Move with me and make me real
Count the hours 'til I can feel this high

The silver sky surrounds us
Our secret symphony
The world is bursting into color
You're with me
And I'm not thinking clearly
In this euphoric haze
Love don't leave me longing
Just carry me away

I am yours, take me over
Lose control
Just let go and let this dream take over

I wait for dark to fall again
So I can be alive and then
By your side I will give in to this high
Surrender now to ecstasy
Move with me and make me real
Count the hours 'til I can feel this high

Frame by frame it's repeating (you're with me)
For this I have been waiting
I feel myself awaking
From this high
I try so hard to hold on (just hold on)
But when the sun is rising (just twelve more hours to go on)
Twelve more hours to go on
Until this high

Surrender now to ecstasy
Move with me and make me real
Count the hours 'til I can feel this high

Just twenty-four more hours
But I'm not breathing right
Eternity until I have you by my side


9.A Million Pieces

Lyricist:Emmy Rossum
Writer(s):Stuart Brawley

Shiver cold I stand alone
Feel the cold dissolve
Black clouds rolling overhead
Part of me is gone

Like water now within my hands
You're nothing I can hold
As every second slips away
I've nothing left to show

I'm undone
Without you now I'm in a million pieces
Undone
I'm not myself if you say I'm not yours

Porcelain white, the storm sets in
Unraveling my life
Cut my hands on broken glass
Holding on too tight
I'm barely held with tape and string
And I'm still alive
This heavy heart is caving under this goodbye

I'm undone
Without you now I'm in a million pieces
Undone
I'm not myself if you say I'm not yours
Undone
Without you now just echoes in the silence
Undone
I'm nowhere now if you say I'm not yours

Why can't I just let go
Would you leave my head alone
Please now now I can't take anymore
Going around around
I'm going nowhere fast

Here I am

I'm undone
Without you now I'm in a million pieces
Undone
I'm not myself if you say I'm not yours

Why can't I just let go
Would you leave my head alone
Just echoes in the silence
Going around around
I'm nowhere now if you say I'm not yours

Why can't I just let go
Would you leave my head alone
Please now now
Going around around
I'm going nowhere fast

I'm undone
Without you now I'm in a million pieces


10.Rainy Days And Mondays

Lyricist:Paul Williams
Writer(s):Roger Nichols

Talkin' to myself and feelin' old
Sometimes I'd like to quit
Nothing ever seems to fit
Hangin' around
Nothing to do but frown
Rainy Days and Mondays always get me down

What I've got they used to call the blues
Nothin' is really wrong
Feelin' like I don't belong
Walkin' around
Some kind of lonely clown
Rainy Days and Mondays always get me down

Funny but it seems I always wind up here with you
Nice to know somebody loves me
Funny but it seems that it's the only thing to do
Run and find the one who loves me

What I feel has come and gone before
No need to talk it out
We know what it's all about
Hangin' around
Nothing to do but frown
Rainy Days and Mondays always get me down

Funny but it seems that it's the only thing to do
Run and find the one who loves me
What I feel has come and gone before
No need to talk it out
We know what it's all about
Hangin' around
Nothing to do but frown
Rainy Days and Mondays always get me down

Hangin' around
Nothing to do but frown
Rainy Days and Mondays always get me down


11.Anymore

When she was younger
Stood staring at the door
Waiting for the day that she knew would surely come
Tied bows in her hair
Dressed as she thought you'd like
But as time ticked away
Promises fade one by one

And now she's all grown
Made it through on her own
Now strong enough to see
That you've been where you want to be

No longer dying inside
I will not let you define
Everything I am by one thing that I don't have
Cause I'm more than that
I will not be made to hide
These tears won't fall for you this time
I will not be ashamed
Of my name
Anymore

Sometimes she wonders
Imagines what you're like
The emptiness inside that made you miss her life
The oceans widen
With all your silence
Leaves the daydreams behind
Childish fantisies unwind

And now she knows
You're not coming home
Take the bows from her hair
She's been waiting twenty years

No longer dying inside
I will not let you define
Everything I am by one thing that I don't have
Cause I'm more than that
I will not be made to hide
These tears won't fall for you this time
I will not be ashamed
Of my name
Anymore

No longer dying inside
I will not let you define
Everything I am by one thing that I don't have
Cause I'm more than that
I will not be made to hide
These tears won't fall for you this time
I will not be ashamed
Of my name
Anymore

I will not
I will not
I will not
Anymore
Anymore
Anymore
I will not
Anymore
