Prelude

Monsters Under My Bed

These thoughts, I can't quite shrug them off It's like the switch is broken just like me Why can't I find a little peace and quiet Oh, my kingdom for some silence It's been a busy day, you should be tired, they say, But I'm so wide awake Overanalyzing the mistakes And am I one? Well who's to say…
Tic toc tic toc tic toc tic toc Seconds passing and I'm wide awake Tic toc Tic toc Tic toc Tic toc Why can't I shut off my brain?
It's been three weeks and I still can't sleep in my bed Blame it on all the voices in my head Telling me that I'd be better off dead Blame it on the monsters under my bed
Wine and whisky make me feel fine and frisky But with no one to please me, how can I be sleepy? All I can think about are these infinite doubts: I'm an idiot, I'm full of shit, and everybody knows it Why is my existence such a crime? I can't get my mind off my mind Running in circles, like its a circus But these animals are feeling nervous
Seconds passing and I'm wide awake Tic toc Tic toc Tic toc Tic toc Why can't I shut off my brain
It's been three weeks and I still can't sleep in my bed Blame it on all the voices in my head Telling me that I'd be better off dead Blame it on the monsters under my bed And I see, but I can't believe what I've read Could it be that I might have been mislead Close my eyes, but I'm wide awake instead Blame it on the monsters under my bed
Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the lord my soul to keep If I die before I wake, I pray the lord my soul to take Am I just delirious, or is this something serious I should see a doctor but, I don't think they'd understand us
I've got a confession, I've got a condition And under these conditions I'm wishin' I wasn't
Well, it's been three weeks and I still can't sleep in my bed Blame it on all the voices in my head Telling me that I'd be better off dead Blame it on the monsters under my bed And I see, but I can't believe what I've read Could it be that I might have been mislead Close my eyes, but I'm wide awake instead Blame it on the monsters under my bed

Object

I don't wanna be the object of your obsession I ain't your possession, so just move along I've been a lone wolf my whole life, no question You better learn your lesson and just move on
I don't wear your shackles, I won't drag your chains You put me in a cage and it's driving me insane Every time I try to escape, you try to place the blame So it's my fault I don't want to be playing your stupid games Filthy, dirty, guilty, are the feelings you insert in me,
Now I'm not the lady in your prophecy So get your damn hands off of me Logically you're bad for me And typically you're mad at me You see black and white You see wrong and right But it's all wrong
And I don't wanna be the object of your obsession I ain't your possession, so just move along I've been a lone wolf my whole life, no question You better learn your lesson and just move on Cause you're pulling me too close and it's just pushing me away Mister better listen here to what I got to say Release your grip on my wrists and I might stay Bruises on my wrists, on my hips, on my fingertips Pressed into your lips trying to push you away It's written on my face
You're so dramatic, manipulative tactics You're a felon, you're an addict Trying to find a better fix You've got your picks Of the litter, a coop full of hens But 'em lil chickie poos want you, You don't want them You got your eyes on the prize Yeah, the golden goose But she won't lay eggs for you unless you let her loose Cause you're fighting a war you're losin' Cruisin' for a bruisin' You're abusin' your power and now I'm gonna lose it on ya
Oh, whoa Because you see black and white You say wrong or right But it's all wrong
And I don't wanna be the object of your obsession I ain't your possession, so just move along, move along I've been a lone wolf my whole life, no question You better learn your lesson and just move on Cause you're pulling me too close and it's just pushing me away Mister better listen here to what I got to say Release your grip on my wrists and I might stay Bruises on my wrists, on my hips, on my fingertips Pressed into your lips trying to push you away It's written on my face
I can forgive but I cannot forget Try to learn my lesson but I just haven't yet I can forgive but I cannot forget Try to learn my lesson but I just haven't yet I can forgive but I cannot forget Try to learn my lesson but I just haven't yet I can forgive, but I can't forget

Chemicals

Spoons and isopropyl alcohol I can’t do anything as I watch you fall Diggin’ it, diggin’ it, diggin’ it, diggin’ it deeper every day Making a grave where you’ll soon be buried I hold out my fingertips To try to catch you as you slip Down, down, down into the abyss Just a droplet of life left And look what you do with it
So much potential Yet you throw it all away, babe All new low, consequential Self-induced neuron decay And then they hurt you so bad So you hurt yourself too Just to try to fly away From the pain inside of you
And am I losing you, my love To all the chemicals in your blood? I said, am I losing you, my love To all the chemicals in your blood?
Given her everything and yet it’s still not enough for her She identifies as a life-long sufferer Her life was rough but her path is rougher She clearly don’t need me cause needles are her new lover How could I possibly ever compete with euphoria I offered you my shoulder, wish I could do more for ya But she’ll never be satisfied Lies, says she’s done cryin’, but her tears are never dry No, no, no, no
So much potential Yet you throw it all away All new low, consequential Self-induced neuron decay And they hurt you so bad So you hurt yourself too Just to try to fly away From the pain inside of you
And am I losing you, my love To all the chemicals in your blood? I said, am I losing you, my love, To all the chemicals in your blood?
Am I losing you, losing you my love To all the chemicals in your blood? I said, am I losing you, my love, To all the chemicals in your blood?
Pleasure seeker, millilitres Of a concoction to knock your socks off Look what you’ve done, explosive hedon Your clock has ticked its last tock

Waiting

All my friends are gone, all my friends have left me alone They’re either dead or addicted to some substance I can’t condone I ran away as soon as I slammed that door And I swear, I never never never never go back there no more
Got skeletons in my closet A bag of sunshine in my pocket But they broke the key to my heart And it’s tearing me apart Cause I can’t unlock it
So I sit high atop my throne Made of stone and skulls and bones So I sit high atop my throne Made of stone and skulls and bones
Waiting, waiting, waiting Waiting, waiting, waiting I’m praying the doctor will bring good news soon Sick of waiting, waiting in this blank white room Wishing the world would change so I don’t have to Keep on waiting, waiting for you To come back from the blue
He said goodbye Said “I’m going for a ride, I’ll be home tonight” But he was on the wrong side Of a two way mirror, he couldn’t hear her And in retrospect it could not be any clearer He was never coming back, no So we put on our best black clothes Celebrate your funeral I like the sensation of condensation on my fascinator But I hate that it’s the only occasion I get to wear it and I can’t bear it Though it’s got no mass, it’s massive A soul is missing, the measures are drastic
And I got skeletons in my closet A bag of sunshine in my pocket But they broke the key to my heart And it’s tearing me apart Cause I can’t unlock it
So I sit high atop my throne Made of stone and skulls and bones So I sit high atop my throne Made of stone and skulls and bones
Waiting, waiting, waiting Waiting, waiting, waiting Waiting, waiting, waiting Waiting, waiting, waiting I’m praying the doctor will bring good news soon Sick of waiting, waiting in this blank white room Wishing the world would change so I don’t have to Keep on waiting, waiting for you To come back from the blue
Got skeletons in my closet A bag of sunshine in my pocket But they broke the key to my heart And it’s tearing me apart Cause I can’t unlock it
Got skeletons in my closet A bag of sunshine in my pocket But they broke the key to my heart And it’s tearing me apart
Got skeletons in my closet A bag of sunshine in my pocket
Yeah, yeah, all I'm left with is Skeletons in my closet Ooh, I'm missing you

When Will This End

So many days lost to the ache, lying in my bed Waiting for the pain to go away So many sunrises and sunsets, trying to forget That the pain is here to stay
Doing all I can but it doesn’t seem to work Can’t recall a time when my body didn’t hurt Trying to make it through but it’s hard to see the light Fighting for my goddamn life
When will this end? I’m a fighter but I am not this tough When will this end? I’m trying but it’s not good enough I can’t pretend That I’m all right when this is just too much When will this end? ‘Cause I’m on the verge of giving up
So many days lost to the ache, now I’m falling behind Cause the pain eats up my day Cancelled plans, nausea and Pills for breakfast, missed connections, I’m losing my mind Cause the pain won't go away
Doing all I can but it doesn’t seem to work Can’t recall a time when my body didn’t hurt Trying to make it through but it’s hard to see the light Fighting for my goddamn life
When will this end? I’m a fighter but I am not this tough When will this end? I’m trying but it’s not good enough I can’t pretend That I’m all right when this is just too much When will this end? ‘Cause I’m on the verge of giving up
I wanna heal, I wanna heal, I wanna heal, I wanna heal
When will this end? I’m a fighter but I am not this tough When will this end? I’m trying but it’s not good enough I can’t pretend That I’m all right when this is just too much When will this end? ‘Cause I’m on the verge of giving up
Cause I’m on the verge… God damn it hurts… I got the urge But I’m not giving up. Yeah, I’m on the verge of giving up

Imposter Syndrome

How did I get here I can’t believe my ears And after all these years How the fuck did I get here
And all the work that I’ve been doin’ And all the sleep that I’ve been losing And all the progress I’ve been seeing Still ain’t settlin’ in And all the things that I accomplish My dopamine just seems to vanish How the fuck did I get here
Let me be the first to say that I don’t deserve all this kindness I have many doubts and they’re all about myself All of this success is just making me a mess Cause it isn’t me, how could it be me?
I’m an impostor, living in somebody else's body It’s impossible for a life like this to belong to me I’m an impostor, and I can’t believe my eyes Feels like I’m living two lives
Tightness in my chest I’m awkward at my best Still better than the rest How the fuck am I so blessed
Suddenly I cannot breathe I find it hard to believe What is happening to me I’m a broken thing I know it I’m just too afraid to show it What the fuck is happening to me
I’m an impostor, living in somebody else's body It’s impossible for a life like this to belong to me I’m an impostor, and I can’t believe my eyes Feels like I’m living two lives
I’m an impostor And I’m losing my shit It’s impossible For someone like me to live a life like this An impostor And I’m losing my shit, losing my shit I’m lost in all of this

Alien

Flying in my UFO, so beautiful
I’m only happy when I’m high Seems I’ve forgotten how to cry I lie awake and I can't shake these thoughts That creep into my mind Inside, you’re over-infantile I hide, but only for a while, This trial and error is getting me nowhere
Where am I now? There’s no right way no matter which path I take
Electricity itching in my chest Never wished you anything less than the best It’s just I’m a little sensitive, and you’re sensitive too So we hold it in a bottle til it breaks and it cuts and it hurts And we blow it in a bubble, watch it swell watch it burst
Where am I now? Trying to navigate in space, take me to a better place
‘Cause it’s so hard, when you’re battling the elements And my heart will never mend And I feel like an alien, an alien And I feel like an alien, an alien
Where am I now? There’s no right way no matter which path I take Somebody show me how I’m trying to navigate in space, take me to a better place
‘Cause it’s so hard, when you’re battling the elements And my heart will never mend And I feel like an alien, an alien And I feel like an alien, an alien
Flying in my UFO, so beautiful Flying in my UFO, so beautiful Flying in my UFO, so beautiful Flying in my UFO, take me back home

Rebirth

Life’s a game that was fixed from the start We keep running though we’ve already lost Don’t you bore too deep into my heart Knowledge comes at such a deadly cost
And don’t ask what you don’t wanna know You’re not ready for what I’ve got to show
And when, when you come down to earth Oh what a wonderful rebirth Into this dimension With all these physical limitations The terms and conditions of your body All that you’re not and what you wanna be What you wanna be, what you wanna be What do you wanna be? Who? Who? Who?
Guard your houses and bar your doors You’re not prepared for what's in store Guard your houses and bar your doors You’re not prepared for what's in store Clusters of hurricanes and hail and rain The perfect storm
It’s my emergency and I come first I’m always prepared for the worst
And when, when you come down to earth Oh what a wonderful rebirth Into this dimension With all these physical limitations The terms and conditions of your body All that you’re not and what you wanna be What you wanna be, what you wanna be What do you wanna be? Who? What do you wanna be? What do you wanna be? Who? What do you wanna be? What do you wanna be? Who? Who? Who?

OCD

Every single second is planned out in her mind You say it’s an obsession, it’s just how she’s designed She writes it out in sections to try and figure it out Practicing perfection but she still has her doubts
Lined up in a stack in the back left hand corner Surfaces are clear, then so is her mind Every single colour in nanometric order But there’s one thing that she cannot find
Sing it! Where is my, where is my, where is my, where is my Where is my, where is my,
Where is my peace of mind, where’s my peace of mind My peace of mind, my peace of mind My mind’s in pieces, pieces of my mind, my mind’s in pieces Oh shit! I lost my marbles
Every day she’s rushin’ just to get it all done Every moment hustlin’ always on the run They say her minds a weapon, yeah it’s a loaded gun Never gets a second to see how far she has come
Always stuck in the mirror to make sure she’s still there If she loses focus she fears she might disappear Fingers stuck caressing the textures of her hair Twice she looks back or gets panic attacks from the voice in her ear
Sing it! Where is my, where is my, where is my, where is my Where is my, where is my,
Where is my peace of mind, where’s my peace of mind My peace of mind, my peace of mind My mind’s in pieces, pieces of my mind, my mind’s in pieces Oh shit! I lost my marbles
Pressure’s buildin’ up, pressure’s buildin’ up now, Think I’m gonna, think I’m gonna think I’m gonna Pressure’s buildin’ up, pressure’s buildin’ up now, Think I’m gonna, think I’m gonna gonna gonna gonna Pressure’s buildin’ up, pressure’s buildin’ up now, Think I’m gonna, think I’m gonna think I’m gonna Pressure’s buildin’ up, pressure’s buildin’ up now, Think I’m gonna, think I’m gonna think I’m gonna Explode, explode, I think I’m gonna explode, explode You try to diffuse my bomb, but I’m gonna explode Try to cut my wires but you’re doing it all wrong I think I’m gonna explode
Oh shit! I lost my marbles Oh shit! I lost my marbles

With Me

Days go by, dazed and confused I thought that I had nothing left to lose They never walked a mile in your shoes And my heart fell on the floor when I heard the news
It’s like wearing a band-aid to fix broken bones When the room is crowded but you still feel alone And I’m trying to speak it but they don’t understand And I’m trying to fix it I dunno if I can
But I feel you with me And I know you can see me I feel you with me And you live on in our memories
Frosty wind kisses rosy cheeks I feel you in the winter breeze Stealing away the weeks like little time thieves In the darkest place you gave me the brightest memories
It’s like wearing a band-aid to fix broken bones When the room is crowded but you still feel alone And I’m trying to speak it but they don’t understand And I’m trying to fix it I dunno if I can
But I feel you with me And I know you can see me I feel you with me And you live on in our memories
Face pressed against a window pane To try to see the brighter side Yearned for a place without any pain But could never get inside We burnt our bridges as we built them Creating castles just to knock them down We’ll sleep when the sun comes up But the moon is out now And the moon is always out when you’re not around
It’s like wearing a band-aid to fix broken bones When the room is crowded but you still feel alone And you’re trying to speak it but they don’t understand And I’m trying to fix it I dunno if I can But I feel you with me And I know you can see me I feel you with me You live on in our memories
Days go by, dazed and confused…

You're Alive

You’ve made it this far You can make it through anything I see all your scars I understand without asking There’s no better or worse We’ve all got our own story We know how it hurts And we’re in recovery
Listen to me, you’ll make it through Look in the mirror, your saviour is you You’ve got to breathe, it’s all you can do
You’re alive, breathing You’re alive, can’t you feel your heart beating You’re alive and there’s a reason You’re alive and that’s worth something
All too familiar with death I remember thinking, is this my last breath Despite the odds I’m still here And it’s so hard but it gets easier
Listen to me, you’ll make it through Look in the mirror, your saviour is you You’ve got to breathe, it’s all you can do
You’re alive, breathing You’re alive, can’t you feel your heart beating You’re alive and there’s a reason You’re alive and that’s worth something
Life’s gonna test you, it’ll throw you to your knees But you gotta believe Tomorrow is a new day It’ll be better in the morning when you wake So BREATHE
You’re alive, breathing You’re alive, can’t you feel your heart beating You’re alive and there’s a reason You’re alive and that’s worth something
You’re worth something

Can't be saved

**Verse 1** Coffee and a cigarette / To start off my day I don’t feel like getting out of bed / But I do it anyway I know I’m not alone / But I feel so lonely This misery is takin’ me / this dissonance is shakin’ my body
**Chorus** Diggin’ myself a hole Big enough to fit this empty soul Diggin’ myself a grave Mama, I can’t be saved
**Verse 2** I remember / and I can’t catch my breath I regret it / so I sentence these memories to death The verdict that followed / Did not satisfy my desire So I took it upon myself / to set your skin on fire
**Chorus** Diggin’ myself a hole Big enough to fit this empty soul Diggin’ myself a grave Mama, I can’t be saved
**Bridge** Whoa, whoa
**Chorus** Diggin’, I’m diggin’, I’m diggin’ myself a hole Gotta be big enough to fit this heavy soul Diggin’ myself a grave Mama, I can’t be saved

Do Your Worst

**Verse 1** So you’re your own god, frankly, nobody cares Hate to break it to ya darlin’ but life is unfair You tell me I’m not worth a minute of your time Sorry sweetie, you’re not worth a single second of mine
**Chorus** Do your worst cause you can’t take something from nothing I would know, cause I once had it all When you’ve got no one you’ve got nothing to lose That’s what you told me, as I recall Only at death do we show our true colours And frankly my love, yours is black Once you figure all this out And come back on your knees It’s then that You’ll realize I’m not coming back No, not this time
**Verse 2** You got so many faces I can’t tell which one is you You’re a walking contradiction, boy, you got me so confused Cause you say that you love me, then you say you want me dead Well your voodoo dolls don’t scare me at all cause you’re outta your fucking head
**Chorus** Do your worst cause you can’t take something from nothing I would know, cause I once had it all When you’ve got no one you’ve got nothing to lose That’s what you told me, as I recall Only at death do we show our true colours And frankly my love, yours is black Once you figure all this out And come back on your knees It’s then that You’ll realize I’m not coming back
**Bridge** Oh no
**Chorus** Do your worst cause you can’t take something from nothing I would know, cause I once had it all When you’ve got no one you’ve got nothing to lose That’s what you told me, as I recall Only at death do we show our true colours And frankly my love, yours is black Once you figure all this out And come back on your knees It’s then that You’ll realize I’m not coming back No, not this time
**Outro** Now that you’re gone, I’m not coming ba-a-a-ack, No, no, not this time I’m movin’ on, I’m not coming ba-a-a-a-ack No, not this time

Heartbeat

**Verse 1** Always a shadow behind you Ghost of the memories to remind you Fragments of their presence Those who robbed her of her innocence
**Chorus** Walking, walking, walking, walking through the stre-e-et Silence, silence, silence, silence, si-ilence Nothing but my heartbeat Every, every, every, every, e-e-every Time that we meet Just silence, silence, silence, silence si-ilence Nothing but my heartbeat
**Verse 2** Just because you can’t see them / Doesn’t make them any less real Her collection of masks to conceal All the insecurities she feels So she dissociates into the surreal
**Chorus** Walking, walking, walking, walking through the stre-e-et Silence, silence, silence, silence, si-ilence Nothing but my heartbeat Every, every, every, every, e-e-every Time that we meet Just silence, silence, silence, silence si-ilence Nothing but my heartbeat
**Bridge** Buh-beat, buh-beat *x 8*
**Chorus** Walking, walking, walking, walking through the stre-e-et Silence, silence, silence, silence, si-ilence Nothing but my heartbeat Every, every, every, every, e-e-every Time that we meet Just silence, silence, silence, silence si-ilence Nothing but my heartbeat

Home With You

**Chorus** I'm not going home with you tonight I'd rather be alone, cause it feels right Hey mister, did you hear me, I said no / get out of my sight Cause I'm not going home with anyone tonight
**Verse 1** I hear the whispers and I feel the stares You know I notice you, but you don't care And I smile on, the only thing I know how to do in this situation I don't know how to react but you're in my face and that's a fact And I never asked for your attention
**Prechorus** I don't know where you got the clue / that made you believe I was into you Cause that notion just isn't true / and you're acting straight up strictly rude I don't think I could be clearer / but if you dare come one step nearer I'll make you regret it
**Chorus** I'm not going home with you tonight I'd rather be alone, cause it feels right Hey mister, did you hear me, I said no / get out of my sight Cause I'm not going home with anyone tonight
**Verse 2** He should've learned to watch his mouth And how to keep his filthy hands to himself As I resist and he persists I know I must give in I can't win, I'm not stronger than him Maybe I should've dressed more conservatively So that he wouldn't be mentally undressing me But why should that be a lady's responsibility?
**Prechorus** I don't know where you got the clue / that made you believe I was into you Cause that notion just isn't true / and you're acting straight up strictly rude I don't think I could be clearer / but if you dare come one step nearer I'll make you regret it
**Chorus** I'm not going home with you tonight I'd rather be alone, cause it feels right Hey mister, did you hear me, I said no / get out of my sight Cause I'm not going home with anyone tonight
**Bridge** Hello, officer, I'd like to report a crime I'm sorry, no, there were no witnesses at the time What do I gotta do to get through to you? I swear on my mother I'm telling the truth But all I got are my words and my tears for proof Cause some scars don't show on the outside And some scars will never heal Some scars we spend our whole lives trying to hide But that don't make them any less real So teach me, tell me how I'm supposed to feel Cause I don't know how I'm supposed to heal And that's why...
**Chorus** I'm not going home with you tonight I'd rather be alone, cause it feels right Hey mister, did you hear me, I said no / get out of my sight Cause I'm not going home with anyone tonight

Stone Cold Killer

**Chorus** I’m a stone cold killer baby don’t you mess around with me I’m a stone cold killer baby don’t you mess around with me I’m a cold-blooded murderer don’t you dare lie to me I’m a sto-o-o-one cold killer baby
**Verse 1** I don’t even know how I’m still alive I guess I just give in, keep it in, let it go, let it out and I survive I’m so sick and tired of trying to live this lie It’s gotten to the point where it makes no difference if I live or if I die
Don’t you just wish you could put life on pause You know me, baby, I’m dying for the cause Don’t you wish, just for a second, you could put life on hold It’s so hard to live this way when your heart is ice cold
**Chorus** I’m a stone cold killer baby don’t you mess around with me I’m a stone cold killer baby don’t you mess around with me I’m a cold-blooded murderer don’t you dare lie to me I’m a sto-o-o-one cold killer baby
**Verse 2** There goes another day, and it seems its gone to waste I don’t know anything anymore, I just copy and paste Filling out the forms, filling in the blanks Grinding gears just to move up the ranks
You’ve only got one direction, it only goes one way Make sure you’ve gone the right way, make sure not to stray It’s the same damn thing day after day after day And I want to get away, yeah, I gotta break away

Visible Spectrum

**Verse 1** Say you want me, make it real Cause I know exactly just how I feel When you come next to me I feel the ecstasy oh what you do to me Is so surreal Take it easy, take it slow I break easily, don't you know Oh they say I'm a wild child, but I'm fragile, it's just been a while Since I've shown my soul
**Chorus** Have you ever danced with somebody in the rain while the sun is shining through the clouds as they evaporate away? The visible spectrum is in full bloom in the afternoon
**Verse 2** It's all new to me, can you tell I've been livin' in my own personal jail cell I've been confined, I'm losing my mind behind these steel bars And it's been hell So I try to hide my eyes So you wont see through me, I gotta admit I'm a little bit shy But you're the kinda guy who don't ask what or why you just feel the vibes And that's how we get by

Singles

Goodbye

Goodbye
This house no longer feels like a home It’s a haunted place where you used to roam And I swear I can still hear your voice But I keep waking up alone
Nothing lasts forever And there are no exceptions When we were together Everything was better
And I, I’m not ready to give you up You had my back when I felt not good enough And when I’d cry you were by my side Every time, and I I’m not ready to say
Goodbye
I loved you for so many years And just like that you had to disappear I’ve been looking around and you’re not there I guess I’ll keep expecting to see you here
Nothing lasts forever And there are no exceptions When we were together Everything was better
And I, I’m not ready to give you up You had my back when I felt not good enough And when I’d cry you were by my side Every time, and I I’m not ready to say Goodbye
There’s a hole in my chest that you made when you left, and I I don’t have what it takes to make it feel alright Tell me how do I live my life without you in it Life is too short so treasure every minute
I hope you know Just how hard it is to let you go And I hope you see how much you mean to me
Because I’m not ready to give you up You had my back when I felt not good enough And when I’d cry you were by my side Every time, and I I’m not ready to say Goodbye, no, no
I’m not ready I dunno if I’m ever gonna be I’m not ready I dunno if I’m ever gonna be I’m not ready, no, no I dunno if I’m ever gonna I’m not ready I dunno if I’m ever gonna be, no I’m not ready I dunno if I’m ever gonna be, oh no no I’m not ready I dunno if I’m ever gonna be Oh I’m not ready to say Goodbye

Is It Enough

All that we have is this moment No future or past, just the present But all I can taste is disaster, waiting to happen.
And all that I know is I don't know How to hang on and just let it go Find myself surrounded with worries unfounded
I lay paralyzed While the hours fly by Is it all right if I just survive? Don't need to be perfect But I'll try to be kind Is it enough just to be alive?
Trying to find meaning in darkness Getting lost in the process of untangling this mess It's gotta mean something because if it means nothing then that means there's nothing left
I am not broken just scarred My scars make me whole, I've learned to love every part When you think that you're imperfect It turns out you're a work of art
It's gotta mean something Well maybe I'm something That made themselves from nothing
All that we have is this moment No future or past, just the present But all I can taste is disaster, waiting to happen.
And all that I know is I don't know How to hang on and just let it go Find myself surrounded with worries unfounded
I lay paralyzed While the hours fly by Is it all right if I just survive? Don't need to be perfect But I'll try to be kind Is it enough just to be alive?
Trying to find meaning in darkness Getting lost in the process of untangling the mess Well, it's gotta mean something 'Cause if it means nothing then that means there's nothing left
I am not broken just scarred And my scars make me whole, I've learned to love every part When you think that you're imperfect And it turns out you're a work of art
I lay paralyzed While the hours fly by Is it all right if I just survive? Don't need to be perfect But I'll try to be kind Is it enough just to be alive?
(Just to be alive) (Just to be alive)
It's gotta mean something Well, maybe I'm something That made themselves from nothing
I lay paralyzed While the hours fly by Is it all right if I just survive? Don't need to be perfect But I'll try to be kind Is it enough just to be alive?

Justin's Song (With Me)

**Verse 1** Days go by, dazed and confused Thought that I had nothing left to lose They’d never walk a mile in your shoes My heart fell on the floor when I heard the news
**Chorus** It’s like wearing a bandaid / To fix broken bones When the room is crowded / But you still feel alone And you’re trying to speak it / But they don’t understand And I’m trying to fix it / But I don’t know if I can I feel you with me I know you can see me I feel you watching over me You live on in our memories
**Verse 2** Icy wind kisses rosy cheeks I feel you with me in the winter breeze Stealing away the weeks, like little time thieves In the darkest place, you gave me the brightest memories
**Bridge** Face pressed against the window pane To see the greener side Yearned for a place without any pain But could never get inside Burning bridges as we built them

Monsters Under My Bed

**Verse 1** These thoughts I can’t quite shut them off It’s like the switch is broken, just like me Why can’t I find a little peace And quiet Oh, my kingdom for some silence It’s been a busy day “You should be tired” they say But I’m so wide awake Overanalyzing the mistakes And am I one? Well, who’s to say
Tic-toc-tic-toc-tic-toc-tic-toc Seconds passing and I’m wide awake… Tic-toc-tic-toc-tic-toc-tic-toc Why can’t I shut off my brain!?
**Chorus** It’s been 3 weeks and I still can’t sleep in my bed Blame it on all the voices in my head Telling me that I’d be better off dead Blame it on the monsters under my bed
**Verse 2** Wine and whisky make me feel fine and frisky But with no one to please me how can I be sleepy All I can think about are these infinite doubts I’m an idiot I’m full of shit And everybody knows it Why is my existence such a crime? I can’t get my mind off my mind Running in circles Like it’s a circus But these animals Are feeling nervous
Seconds passing and I’m wide awake… Tic-toc-tic-toc-tic-toc-tic-toc Why can’t I shut off my brain!?
**Chorus** It’s been 3 weeks and I still can’t sleep in my bed Blame it on all the voices in my head Telling me that I’d be better off dead Blame it on the monsters under my bed And I see but I can’t believe what I’ve read Could it be that I might’ve been mislead Close my eyes but I’m wide awake instead Blame it on the monsters under my bed
**Bridge** Now I lay me down to sleep I pray the lord my soul to keep And if I die before I wake I pray the lord my soul to take Am I just delirious Or is this something serious I should see a doctor, but I don’t think they’d understand us
And I’ve got a confession I’ve got a condition And under these conditions I’m wishin I wasn’t…
**Chorus** Well...it’s been 3 weeks and I still can’t sleep in my bed Blame it on all the voices in my head Telling me that I’d be better off dead Blame it on the monsters under my bed And I see but I can’t believe what I’ve read Could it be that I might’ve been mislead Listening to the voices in my head Blame it on the monsters under my bed

OCD

Every single second / is planned out in her mind You say it’s an obsession / but it’s just how she’s designed She writes it out in sections / to try and figure it out She’s practicing perfection / but she still has her doubts Lined up in a stack in the back left-hand corner Surfaces are clear, then so is her mind Every single colour in nanometric order But there’s something that she cannot find
Where is my… My peace of mind Pieces of my mind, my mind’s in pieces, Oh shit – I lost my marbles
Every day she’s rushing / just to get it all done Every moment hustling / always on the run They say her minds a weapon / yeah, it’s a loaded gun She never gets a second / to see how far she’s come Always stuck in the mirror to make sure she’s still there If she loses focus she fears she might disappear Fingers stuck caressing the textures of her hair Twice she looks back or gets panic attacks from the voice in her ear
Saying, “where is my…” My peace of mind Pieces of my mind, my mind’s in pieces Oh shit- I lost my marbles
Pressures building up, think I’m gonna explode You try to diffuse my bomb but I’m gonna explode Try to cut my wires but you do it all wrong, I’m gonna explode Oh shit – I lost my marbles

Shipwreck

Hello, it’s me. Is there anybody there? Hello, it’s me again… does anybody care? I’ve been knocking at your door And it’s been days, or weeks, or months & I’m not sure If you can hear me, hear me, heal me Are you not listening, listening? Listen to me!
Please, come down and let me in ‘cause I can’t stand waiting For you to change your mind I don’t want to waste your time
I’ve got better things to do Than trying to change myself for you So you’d look at me the way I look at you You— (x4)
Water fills my lungs again The pressure, the pressure is building Our chests are, chests are collapsing I can’t believe this is how it ends Cause I break, and I break, and I bend I break and I break and I Put my trust in the captain Never imagined this would happen
Now I’m… Shipwrecked, I’ve been lost at sea The waves keep crashing over me Searching for a surface, but I’m sixty feet below Paralyzed/by the tides/I’m dragged down by… The undertow… LET ME GO! I SAID NO! NO!
If I’m gonna drown… Then you’re going down With me You’re going down with me
Please, come down and let me in ‘cause I can’t stand waiting For you to change your mind I don’t want to waste your time
I rode aboard the boat that was destined to sink I can’t find the right words to say and it’s so difficult to think
But I’m gonna change… Yeah things will never be the same I’m gonna change, not for you, but for me
