When U Wake 03:02
Fall in love with all I see, standing right in front of me. Don’t forget to tell me when you wake! Don’t forget to tell me when you wake! Floating up and now I’m down. I can’t stay here on the ground. Don’t forget to call me while you wait! Don’t forget to call me while you wait! I am all the I can be. I’ve seen all I want to see. Don’t forget to be there in the end! Don’t forget to be there in the end! Don’t forget to be there when you can! Don’t forget to be there in the end!

Blood Run 04:30
My mind is untwisting, my body barely aches. Soon I’ll be rejoicing, No longer have to fake. Oh, blood runs around my eyes, When it gets heavy in my mind. My head turns down into the ground. When will I regain my pride? My thoughts they tried to kill me, Heavy with their blows. So now I must defend them, My sanity, my soul. Oh, blood runs around my eyes, When it gets heavy in my mind. The noise gets loud, I wanna shout. Won’t you give me peace of mind? Things have settled in my heart, No longer am I torn apart. I’ve filled my hole, I’ve raised my low, Now here is where I make my start. Blood runs around me eyes, When it gets heavy in my mind. Call me out so I can shout, All the things I’ve left behind.

I Am She 05:07
Oh Cindy, what did you do to me? If I didn’t like you, it’s only cause I knew, I could’ve been you. You wouldn’t lie, when you said you wanted to die. And you would laugh, when you really only wanted To cry. We are all animals! We are all animals! We are all animals! Jennifer, oh Jennifer! You wouldn’t think it could be her. But her fucked up head, it just wants us dead. It doesn’t care who we hurt. Don’t know why I discovered, that we do recover. Why I could see that I am she, And that she is me! We are all animals! We are all animals! We are all animals!

Troubles 02:44
When the moonlight hits the sky, My thoughts will turn to you. Send you sailing through my mind, On silver-studded blue. You say that you’ve had troubles, Stories of the past, But rest right here inside my head, Cause troubles never last. You say you’re seeking darkness, It’s what you’ve come to know. Well I have lived in all the dark, It’s better in the light. My time is always coming, And yours is coming fast. So rest a while and lay your head, Cause troubles never last. Roll through states and names and places, You’re on the other side. Songs ring out and touch my ears, And here is where my mind… Runs through fears and lies and tales, That trouble’s coming fast. So I will lay my own head now, Cause troubles never last!

O, My Child! 03:17
O, my child! I am wanting you. I just woke up, And I knew, You were soon to come, But how and when and why? But still I try, still I try. You are the light. I see you shining through. I have to fight, Just to get to you. They may not see you, But I do! Cause they don’t know you, Like I do. O, my child! O, my child! O, my child! O, my child!

Move + Shake 03:32
When you’re young and coming up, You want to move away. But time it takes to find your place, And lots of move & shake. Hooray, hooray! Hooray, hooray! When all you’ve seen is where you’re from, The sky can look so gray. But standing tall above the clouds, You finally see the sun. Hooray, hooray! Hooray, hooray! Moving through these spaces now, I am young and I am loud. You hear me when the winter comes, And I will move and shake. Hooray, hooray! Hooray, hooray! Hooray, hooray! Hooray, hooray!

I’ve been living in the dark so long. Prob’ly stay here for the rest of my days. I’ll try to get to you, Try to live the life you want me to, But I keep living in the dark. I’ve been living in the clouds so long. Just waitin’ for the end of the rain. I try to tell the truth, Try to stop the lies I’m telling you, But I keep living in the dark. Well it’s hard when you hold me down. Won’t pick me up, leave me lying on the ground. And the flowers around your head grow Into towers of lead and stone. I’ve been living in this night too long. And I can’t wait for the sun. I try to make it though, Try to live the way you do. But I keep living in the dark. I keep living in the dark. I keep living in the dark.

Think it’s raining all the time, When the past is on my mind. And darkness falls into my light, Cause I am damaged deep inside. But that’s not how it’s meant to be, Gotta keep myself outside of me. Things I wasted all for you, It’s clear and I can see right through. You were the only thing I knew. Said I don’t want you but I do. Cause it’s not hard to get to me, To be the only thing I see. Yesterday I was your slave. I thought you’d bring me to my grave. But now I think I’m here to stay, Cause I don’t need you much today. Said I can’t touch you once again, You’re just an enemy, my friend. And you are killing me, my love.

Wild <3 03:45
heart heart beautiful heart lonely and forgiving heart holding you here and loving you far running past our broken start i know you can see, I ain’t going nowhere and i’d like to be, a little further along heart heart beautiful heart queen of light and darkness heart you’re holding me here but you’re pushing me on far away but never gone i know you can see, when i am losing patience And all my beliefs, bleed right out my eyes Wishing you'd tell me please, but I know you can't save me then my head comes to me, reminds me that i’m free and i’m never alone heart heart beautiful heart unwavering and truest heart you hold me close but you run so far so run along my wild heart

I’ve been kept alive, I’ve been hung to dry, Been down in this place so long, I think i’ll go away. Time passes by, And I can’t survive. Seeing truth, I can’t do, So I think I’m bound to die. Shake these dreams from your mind. Throw them into mind. Stay out of my eyes, When the tide is rising high. I want you so bad! Lay a flower where I lie. Won’t you put me in the ground, And praise me when I’m gone? Shake these dreams from your mind. Throw them into mind. Stay out of my eyes, When the tide is rising high.
