Emma Perri's music is heartful, rich, intimate and can often be a very deep journey into what it means to be real and true
to yourself. She describes it as an experimental and playful way to express the most absurd and personal depths within her head and heart.

- Track Name: Stigma
-
Why would I sign a contract with a bruised lung?
The malady is not only killing me, it's healing me.
It makes no sense, don't try to make it sense.
And nobody's gonna get a reward or a life or a heart with a proud defence.
You love me if you love you and I love you.
I don't wanna feel shame, I don't wanna feel shame, I don't wanna feel shame no more. - Track Name: Your Time
-
Even though I swear you’re never there
I receive voicemails that you still care
Your resonance scoops my guts out
The things you say become bullets
And even though I can’t feel you
I can’t touch past my borders
Even though you choose to feed the past
Offspring can only offer so much
Forgive me, forgive me, for I have sinned
I kill you, I kill you off time and time again
Your tone of voice makes my ears bleed
The way you frown cuts me open
Even though I can’t see you
All I feel is broken
Cost of my heart does not exist
Buy me a house you don’t live in
Off the market - is my affection
Off the market - is your compassion
We go for lunch, I drink coffee
We’re in your car, ask me questions
And even though you don’t hear me
You don’t pretend that you listen
In the summer you made me
Heal your wounds before mine
And even though I still did it
At least you gave me your time - Track Name: Miles & Miles
-
I touched your lips with my fingertips
Oh baby, oh baby
I never use that word but it fits so well for you
If I hadn't left, would you have brought me to your bed?
Oh baby, oh baby
I often take things fast but with you, I'd make it last
But life is cruel and life is bleak
when there are miles and miles separating two kisses on the cheek
Life is so cruel, life is so bleak
when there are miles and miles separating you and me
You touched my hips with your fingertips
Oh baby, oh baby
Even when it rains, you never look away
And if I drop by again this year,
Oh baby, oh baby
Will you want me there?
But life is cruel and life is bleak
and it's so confusing how someone can mean this much to me
Life is so cruel, life is so bleak
I did not think I'd enter into some kind of fantasy
But life is cruel and life is bleak
when there are miles and miles separating two kisses on the cheek
Life is so cruel, life is so bleak
when there are miles and miles separating you and me - Track Name: Relapse
-
The feeling goes away
The feeling goes away
I spent all my time on you
I spent all my time for you
But the feeling goes away
The feeling goes away
I got no more time for you
I got better things to do
Where have I been lately?
My mind is mud lately
My trust is too busy
I’m distracted
I can’t find love lately
I can’t create lately
My days are much less free
I’m distracted
You said “good luck, it’ll be a bit tough
Your ship’s in danger, your crew has left you”
Well fuck, it’ll be a bit rough
But I’m still sailing and I’m not ready to die
Just yet
The feeling goes away
The feeling goes away
I spend all my time on you
I spend all my time for you
The feeling goes away - Track Name: Clean Cough
-
Clean cough and I'm still sick
What else could it be?
Lay low and I can't heal -
Apart from being real, apart from being real
With all I have concealed
But when it comes down to the pine,
I'm not the sharpest kind
Manipulative mind
And all that I can give:
The sweetness of my lips, the sweetness of a kiss
What are they gonna do when I'm dead?
Hold each other, laugh together,
Crawl inside and hurt forever
What am I gonna do when I'm dead?
Never give up but I never say never
Never say no cause you'll never get better
Clean cut and I'm still here
Where else would I be?
Faint, so I can breathe. - Track Name: Mother Girl
-
there comes a day when you can't recall the way
a plant could sit in a pot without much rain
Mother Girl, are you sure?
- it's too late either way
listen to the old folks when they say
"time flies by, feel the wind upon your face"
why rush, what's the fuss?
the sky is old but he still snows
they're smellin' coke; getting high
what happened to just getting by?
everyone that I know drinks their way through sorrow
like a moth and a light, it turns off and it's scared
like a moth and a light, it turns on and it dies
you drive down the same old road
to lay in bed, to feel a sense of a "home"
get the fuck up
are ya dead? no you're not
I grieve each time a leaf falls off a branch
they remind me of some of my friends
I'm detached, but aware
of how sick they all are
no self-respect, makin' lives
will you love your baby when she cries?
if you don't eat your food, you will kill the life inside of you
like a moth and a light, it turns off and it's scared
like a moth and a light, it turns on and it dies
please don't die (and it dies) - Track Name: There's Nothing Wrong With That
-
Somedays I sit & study a flower
Somedays a tree feels like my father
& I'll walk alone, all-one
Complete, under the sun
& I'll cry until I feel joy again
I may cry until I smile again
There's nothing wrong with that
There's nothing wrong with that
There's nothing wrong with wanting better days to come & greet you
There's nothing wrong with hollering above, "Please, God, I need you!"
There's nothing wrong with taking a step back
Or sittin' on grandma's lap
There's nothing wrong with that
There's nothing wrong with that
Somedays I'll cancel plans to be alone
Somedays I need a friend to feel at home
& creation's in ma bones
Artistic blood that flows
& I'll write until I can't write anymore
I'll write until frustration freezes my soul
There's nothing wrong with that
There's nothing wrong with that
There's nothing wrong with wanting better days to come & greet you
There's nothing wrong with hollering above, "Please, God, I need you!"
There's nothing wrong with taking a step back
Or sittin' on grandma's lap
Or spillin' coffee on your dress
Or forgetting to clean up a mess
Or getting rejected when you ask out your crush
One day soon, you will be in luck
There's nothing wrong with that
There's nothing wrong with that
There's nothing wrong with that - Track Name: I Remember How
-
It's so close to me
I forgot how to feel blue
I bat my eyes at you
And winter feels much better
It's not about the time of year
I never know how or when I'm going to feel
Until I fall again,
I'll dampen the darkness with a grin
Outside, the frost bites me off 'til I'm pale
And see that there's smoke each time I exhale
Frailty never goes, I'm so lightheaded
Trembling in my pockets, illness resurrected
Caffeine turns me on, focus turns me off
I remember how it feels to rot
Inside, the lights suck my eyes 'til they're dry
smiling it off so they think I'm just shy
No one understands, I'm so dramatic
Heavy in my heart, it is automatic
Body's overwhelmed, craving for fuel
I remember how to be so cruel
It's so close to me
It seeps through my skin
And I'm starting to believe
I am able to be free - Track Name: In Daylight, Dear
-
Are you awake?
I never sleep.
My window says
It’s time to rise.
In daylight, dear, daylight, daylight, dear
Will you take care?
Please don’t give me the wrong idea.
Give me your mouth, I’ll fill it with
Good words, make sure you use ‘em right.
In daylight, dear, daylight, daylight, dear
Will you take care?
Are you awake?
I never sleep.
My window says
It’s time to rise.
