Weight 02:23
I woke up today Exactly the same That’s not so great I hate feeling this way I can’t move Rooted to this spot I couldn’t leave If I wanted to or not I don’t feel like doing anything today I don’t feel like doing anything I woke up today Stuck in this space Trapped in a place I don’t want to face Weighed down Rooted to this spot I couldn’t overcome it If I wanted to or not I don’t feel like doing anything today I don’t feel like doing anything Weighed down Weighed down inside Weighed down Weighed down inside I don’t feel like doing anything today I don’t feel like doing anything I don’t feel like doing anything today I don’t feel like doing anything

Fakin' It 02:56
Feel like a fake person An imposter to be shunned Failing to be normal Failing to be someone Navigating through life Without knowing left or right Spectator on the edges Trying to figure out my messes (There’s nowhere to hide) I’m fakin’ it Until I’m makin’ it Or breakin’ it I can’t keep takin’ it Feel like a fake person Waiting to be found A great conspiracy The house of cards comes crumbling down It feels so dangerous Just this existence Trying to find a way to be That I’m comfortable with me (There’s nowhere to hide) Pretending Reacting Deflecting Overcompensating The play goes on and on It just goes on and on

Stargazing 03:29
Do you ever find yourself stargazing? The majesty of the Universe is amazing I see them twinkling So far away but still amazing I can’t help but feel Something so perfect can’t be real Is there something out there? Something better than this? Imagine all the wonders That we don’t know exist I reach up to the sky Wishing I could fly Amongst the stars Somewhere far from here I look up at the breathtaking sky Nothing has ever felt this right And I can’t help but dream Of the stories to be told And all we’ll come to know As the Universe unfolds Is there someone out there? Looking at them too Dreaming of a better life In the night sky I look up to the sky Eyes so wide Taking it all in Feel the wonder within

Read 03:38
I read your message the other day Took some time to figure out what to say So overwhelmed in the moment I’m sorry I forgot it Left you on ‘read’ Feel like a terrible friend Too many things happening at once My brain can’t handle the conflicting signals I just wanted to say I’m sorry again This won’t be the last time Something goes and slips my mind It doesn’t mean I don’t care It’s just the bandwidth isn’t there Tomorrow might be a better day For all the things I want to say Don’t hear the phone cause it’s on silent A sudden ringtone sends anxiety wild You might think I’m hiding C But I’m in here surviving Don’t you go away I’ve got things to say And there will come a day When I can be ‘me’ again
5.
I Quit 02:54
I’m done with this I’m going back to bed Try again tomorrow Don’t wake me until then I’m done with this I quit I’m sick of this I quit I’m done with today I’m going back to bed Sleep until tomorrow Don’t wake me until then I’m done with this I quit I’m sick of this I quit I give up I give in I’m sick of this I quit I’m done with this I quit I’m sick of this I quit
6.
Love/Hate 02:58
I stay the same You want change I change It’s not the same I try to give No way to win Destined to lose No matter what I do No one loves me like you do No one hates me like you do A fine line between the two There’s no one like you Try something new But you want old Return to form It’s not enough On your terms In your own worlds Destined to lose No matter what I do A fine line Can turn on a dime Rollercoaster of ups and downs Always letting someone down
7.
Here sharing pieces of me Devoid of any company All alone; on my own Without a place to call home Screaming into the void Screaming until I lose my voice There’s no one in this place Lost in space Orbits have shifted Mass exodus and I missed it Sometimes I feel I'll never find home Travelling round the Sun alone Screaming into the void Screaming until I lose my voice There’s no one in this place Lost in space I don’t want to be alone Alone with myself I can’t take the silence We were just passing ships Nothing more would come of this Now I have to come to grips With the words that left my lips Screaming into the void Screaming until I lose my voice There’s no one in this place Lost in space
8.
I remember the days When I would feel amazed Inspired and delighted The path was exciting Where did those days go? I just don’t know I’m looking for somebody that I used to know A long time ago Where did they go? I’m looking for somebody Somebody that I used to know I remember the dreams Of all I could be That lively spark That set me apart Where did those days go? I just don’t know Settled somewhere along the way Got so comfortable in the day to day All the went away Now I find myself stuck in a place Trying to remember who I used to be Trying to remember what made me ‘me’
9.
My Worth 03:17
I am not an object I am not a thing I am not a commodity A point for you to win I am a person I don’t care about opinions I know my value and my worth I don’t belong in your box Nor your pigeonhole I don’t fit your labels Nor you imagined role I am a person I don’t care about opinions I know my value and my worth I’m not here for you I’m not here to please you I don’t need your approval I don’t need your gaze I don’t care what you want Nor for the things that you say I am a person I don’t care about opinions I know my value and my worth I don’t care about opinions I know my value and my worth

Hope 03:10
Beat your drum Sing out loud Make a noise Dance around Little girl, little girl Get up and take on the world You can be anything you want to be Make everyone see The whole world is waiting for you For all the things you’re gonna do Make this place your own Oh, our little hope The world is waiting You’re gonna be amazing So make this place your own Our little hope Stomp and shout Let it all out Roar ‘til your throat is sore Little girl, little girl Get up and take on the world You can be anything you want to be Make everyone see The whole world is waiting for you For all the things you’re gonna do Make this place your own Oh, our little hope The world is waiting You’re gonna be amazing So make this place your own Our little hope I see you I hear you I know you I love you The whole world is waiting for you For all the things you’re gonna do Make this place your own Oh, our little hope The world is waiting You’re gonna be amazing So make this place your own Our little hope

It can’t rain all the time Afterwards comes the sunshine That’s when you get rainbows in the sky A beautiful sight It’s gonna be okay When the clouds go away After the rain When the rain goes And the soils soaked That’s when the flowers grow Bringing beauty to the world It’s been storming for a while But in the distance is blue skies After a little while We’re gonna have clear skies
