Unfamiliar Heaven

I'm on my way to an unfamiliar heaven I may not recognize it now, but I will someday I get comfortable in hell 'Cause it's hard for me to tell How I could burn myself if I stay I want to make it to the other side Know I did all I could, that I really tried Believe there's something better for me in this life I want to quit spinning in circles Roll down past the city limits Find out what's beyond these borderlines So I'm on my way to an unfamiliar heaven I may not recognize it now, but I will someday I get comfortable in hell 'Cause it's hard for me to tell How I could burn myself if I stay But I'm on my way...

Crazy4U

Am I crazy for wanting to be crazy4u? I feel something, just wish I felt the butterflies too... Shouldn't this be the honeymoon stage Where I'm jumping up and down at the sound of your name? Maybe my feelings are just a little bit delayed... But what happens if they never change? But you like what I like, and you make feel safe Don't have to beg for compliments, or over explain Shouldn't that be enough? But I've heard my friends talk about the ones they love And I'm afraid of the words I'll never say You deserve someone who will speak of you that way Listen Here

Tired Hearts (The Sign)

Map in my hands Headed to my destination Following it step by step Without an inclination That I’d ever need to take a detour And even if I did that road would lead to so much more 

But the weather had other plans And I needed to seek shelter On my way to the promise land Where I found myself surrounded by strangers Also looking for hope from the city of dangers

And on the door hangs a sign and it says: “Rest your tired hearts If you need to fall apart Then go ahead, let it all out Don’t need our permission We’ll stand beside you With every awkward admission Because you’ll see we’ve all been there before And each of us must hold on to one another until we're ready to go back out this door (back out this door)"

Rest your tired hearts Life’s a living hell And only time will tell But here at least We’re in a room of angels Listen Here

Waste Basket

I found a picture of of us It was stained, yeah, colors faded A sign of what we’ve become  And there’s no way to change it In another season I would’ve kept it for sentimental reason But now I know that’s not enough  For me to still have it

So it's going in the waste basket Waste basket If it’s broken, no need to still have it Waste basket, waste basket

Marie Kondo says if it doesn’t bring you joy Then you better throw it away You used to bring me joy But, honey, not today

So it's going in the waste basket Waste basket If it’s broken, no need to still have it Waste basket, waste basket

Our love was once divine  But now it lost its shine And no amount of polish is gonna make it fine So it’s going in the waste basket Waste basket If it’s broken, no need to still have it Waste basket, waste basket

And the good memories  They still hold a place my heart But I need to make space on these shelves for me to restart - 

So it’s going in the waste basket Waste basket If it’s broken, no need to still have it Waste basket, waste basket Listen Here

Bad Luck

You can be a good disciple And always read your bible Never forget to pray You can listen to your Ma Take the right advice from Pa But still at the end of the day... Suffer from bad luck Bad luck Bad, bad, bad luck

Oh, if you believe in karma I got some news for ya It's more or less the same Just the troubles that your facin' Chances are your enemies will also get a taste No one's immune to bad luck Bad luck Bad, bad, bad luck You can follow all the steps Make the best use of your time With all that practice, still trip at the finish line You can go after your dreams, be so prepared And still miss the train meant to take you there Just a case of bad luck Bad luck Bad, bad, bad luck And it can be so frustrating Oh, devasting When you're endlessly stuck with bad luck Bad luck Bad, bad, bad luck You probably think I'm jaded That all my faith is faded This song is to tell you to give up But the beauty in the random Means that it's possible There's hope yet for a miracle Calling that good luck Good luck Good, good, good luck So still try the best you can Be the better man Even if life does not go the way you planned And if you need a hand I'm here to help And bring you some good luck

Good luck Good, good, good luck Wishing you good luck

Good luck Good, good, good luck

We could all use some good luck

Good luck Good, good, good luck

Best At Anything

I just wanted to be the best at anything (the best at anything) When I was younger they would say: "That girl is so smart for her age!" How quickly that would change Fell into a sea of mediocracy So painfully average in my teens And I tried everything To be the best at anything But I always came up short So I gave up on sports and after school activities Put all my energy to be the nicest person you'd ever meet But all that did was get people to walk all over me (all over me) Some may call it humility But I'm just accepting defeat In that I'll never be the best at anything Dreamed to be a winner with a trophy in my hands With the ones I love cheering from the stands I guess it's just not meant to be 'Cause I am not the best at anything Oh no, I am not the best at anything And I just wanted to be the best at anything (the best at anything) Sometimes I'm ok with just being ok But other times it's hard to say....

When I was 4 years old, my family moved into a bigger house.

In the recesses of my memory, I can recall some of the houses we went to see before we ended up in the home I would spend the rest of my childhood growing up in.

There was one with a large fish tank, one with the scary dog next door, and the most memorable of all...

...the one with the spiral staircase. Of course when my parents entertained my sister and me by asking which one we would pick that was my #1 choice.

Unfortunately, my parents had made their decision. We would move next door to the scary dog - who turned out to the be the friendliest neighbor after all. Oftentimes, I would imagine a parallel universe where we did move into the spiral staircase house. I wondered how different my life would be and what chain reaction that could have caused in the other less than desirable areas of my life. Then recently, I made a major discovery. As it was even though we didn't move into that house....my cousins did.

The same cousins I grew up with and visited frequently, including every holiday. But I didn't remember a spiral staircase?

It turns out my MacGyver handyman of a grandfather got rid of it and built a wall where it once stood, installing a regular staircase on the other side. So what's to say of this new piece of information? Well of course, I always knew my what ifs were pretty fruitless. This was the life I lived, the childhood I had set in stone. But all those years of fantasizing, I had no idea how I was already making memories in the house with the spiral staircase.

Knowingly

No one hurts me knowingly And I don't really let them see The scars they leave under my sleeve I guess that's on me, yeah... It was an accident It's just ignorance Didn't mean to do it, do it, no So I let it pass, roll off my back No reason to cry over and over But the tear stains on my pillow Tell me that I don't know how to really let this go

No one hurts me knowingly And I don't really let them see The scars they leave under my sleeve I guess that's on me, yeah...

Well, my broken heart is just collateral damage to someone's selfish tendencies Maybe if I spoke up Tell them I had enough, they'd listen to me But maybe they won't, and maybe they don't - They don't care what they do to me Listen Here

Hated

Everybody likes me ‘cause I’m easy to be around I don’t bring trouble and I always keep it down, down, down Say what you wanna hear ‘Cause disappointment is my greatest fear I’m a chameleon in every single room I’m in But as I raise you up, I lose parts of me Don’t know if I could handle the gravity So I start to wonder if it’s worth the price - being nice

What if I was hated? Just an annoying little bitch nobody liked Say whatever comes to my head And never think twice What if I was too loud instead of too nice Too nice What if I was hated? What if I was hated?

Maybe it would hurt a little bit But I would get over it And I would finally be free Caring what you think about me (What you think about me)

Supervillain

I’ll be your supervillain  I’ll be your bad guy If that’s what helps you sleep at night

Put the blame on me I’ll be your enemy The cause of all your pain and misery

And you’ll tell everybody I turned my back on you But we all know that’s just not true It’s far more complicated This ain’t black and white And I’m drawing a line in the sand tonight

Guilt is your weapon so I’m putting up a shield Won’t apologize for how that makes you feel Listen Here

Grief comes and goes like a wave. At first the waves come often and tosses you around like a riptide. They drag you under and make it difficult to breathe. Over time, the waves lessen until the water feels calm again. You don’t have to wait for brief moments of tranquility. You can actually float for a while. But the waves still come. Except you learn how to ride them. Some are still harder to master. The ocean of grief will never stop creating the waves. But it’s true that what once felt like drowning, Can turn into sailing. And whatever you lost at sea Will always be remembered dearly.

True Blue

I wish there was another way, I wish there was another way To fall out without a fallout I don’t wanna runaway, I don’t wanna runaway from you So I’ll stay true So I’ll stay blue If that’s what I have to

Can’t pin the moment in time When something clicked in my mind And I’ve tried to shake It out But I don’t want to turn it around ‘cause I swear things are brighter, I swear things are lighter with you, And the heaviness is self inflicted Because I can’t listen to logic But you can’t stop a heart from being honest

Love can be selfless, even when it’s selfish x2 It’s up to choice, so I’m using my voice

I wish there was another way, I wish there was another way To fall out without a fallout I don’t wanna runaway, I don’t wanna runaway from you So I’ll stay true So I’ll stay blue If I have to

The sun will rise And I’ll make it through the darkness If I look into your eyes I don’t wanna runaway, I don’t wanna runaway from you So I’ll stay true

Where is your heart?

Where is your heart? Is there a part? Is there a part that you left for me?

I don’t hold the key, And I should probably leave, But there’s a light on your balcony And if you let me in tonight, I promise that I’ll make it right; All I want is just to lay by your side I would give you my whole heart, But I know I don’t have yours So all I’m asking is unlock the door

Rare people, do it for the rare people Swear if you care people There will be less rare people Hope comes and goes Faith doesn’t always show And love can seem like a lie But there’s a shot with open eyes We’ll find rare people

I know in my darkest nights It was others who’ve shown me the light People who gave a damn Made me the way I am And it’s sad that it’s true That caring is not a normal thing to do But if you got it don’t let it pass you Become one of those rare people Shed light and care people in whatever way you know how Somebody needs it now

If I give up on optimism And stop dreaming There’s only one thing left to believe in And it’s rare people Don’t let them cease to exist I’ve lost what I can’t get back Wondered if my identity was hacked We’re all struggling to hold on to what doesn’t leave Don’t think it’s a single person, but rather a breed A breed of rare people The ones that care people

So lets dare people To be rare

first to bleed

The world is getting crazy At least I have you At least I have you But you’re slipping away Like summer here yesterday Turned today’s autumn afternoon

So I’ll take a leap of faith As the leaves begin to change Pray a warm fire comes my way So I won’t need you No I won’t need you I won’t need you, no It’s time I learn to let you go

But it’s not easy to find Another way to pass the time Fill the spaces in my mind ‘Cause you’re not just a game to play Or a song to repeat all day But soon you won’t need me So I better hurry up and leave, Better hurry up and leave, Or I’ll be the first to bleed

What Do I Mean?

What do I mean to you? Do I mean a thing to you? Or am I just someone you use... Come on, I’ll make you feel better Then you can cut the tether And find something better to do

Maybe I act like I don’t mind If you leave me hanging most the time Brush it off my shoulders But there’s still dirt left behind And I’m not feeling fine

It’s not a question of my worth I already know what I deserve I just wish you knew too I don’t wanna beg you listen here
