Water I saw you in the morning light / Underneath a street lamp The rain was glistening / The water made your coat damp The stream along the sidewalk / Said all too clear That soon there’d be a sea between us So I prayed for droubt so you could stay here (Chorus): {The Water’s filling up, I am drowning out now} x2 Don’t get on your goodbye boat / I don’t think I could watch you Waving with your heart in your throat And mine severed in the living room (Chorus) (Bridge): {Oh, Oh, You are leaving me behind}x2 {Whoa, Whoa, You are leaving me behind}x2 I saw you in the morning light / underneath a streetlamp We were waist high in a river There is an undercurrent right where I stand and (Chorus) x2

Sneak Out I’ll kiss you tonight / after we numb our minds I’m not really here tonight / I’m a still picture Morning Light / I opened my eyes I was disappointed to find / I wasn’t there last night I need to go home I took a drive / down the last 5 years of my life I stopped in on the town / that taught me how to get high I leave my head to be with you, leave my head to be with you I leave my head to be with you, tonight I don’t understand / how two worlds can run rampant In my mind / at the same time You’re king of one world / and the sound of your name in the other Make’s people’s hearts stop beating / a secret I am keeping {I leave my head to be with you, leave my head to be with you}x2 And I’m {Gone, Exhaling chemicals with you}x2 {Sneak out of the Garden / and Play in the darkness} x2 I need to go home

Road Map My roadmap can only be updated by driving off the track My knowledge of the world is as small as where I travel so I guess I’d better pack I’m leaving home now x2 You felt me up and I fell down and then I tried to run away But you’re in better shape and I like the places you take me so I think I really want to stay I’m leaving home now x2 (Chorus): I don’t know why you won’t let me out x2 I’ve got pages and pages of you x2 I am calling to be yours x2 Even if they disapprove x2 My roadmap was written all wrong so I threw it out the window It was dusty and I’m untrusting of old, outdated rules and I don’t know… (Chrorus): I don’t know why you won’t let me out I’ve got pages and pages of you I am calling to be yours Even if they disapprove, Even if they disa… (Bridge): {Oh, oh no, I don’t want to let you go No, no, no not even just to take you home Get out, get out quickly before I change my mind }x2 {I miss you all the time} x2 {I am calling to be yours} x2 Even if they disapprove (Chorus) I’ll draw a new map up with you Let’s make a new map, me and you

welcome to my skin you've been invited in to an afternoon of rub up against me i feel your fingertips they're feeling delicate let's move like we've got half of a century chorus come into my house i'll show you what it's made of listen to the mahogany burning come into my house i'll show you what you've made of me a captured lady beside the crystal lake there is a misty forest you can catch glimpses of mysterious ladies in dresses, disappear and they say every year one of the dies or falls prey

Be the One Ok you got me / I lied to your face when I said I had nothing to say What would happen if you did not reply I’d be stranded here all by myself Baby, the truth is / I am in love And I have been ever since You took my mind and put it above The darkness where I thought I was (Chorus): Pulling my limbs back from the city lights And potions of soft lips into the dark forest at night Facing the Universe A warrior explorer With the spirit of someone I collided with once Here I go With cigarettes and my guitar Your words in my hands, your hands in my heart Be the one, be the one this time After travelling up to the sky/ I cant come down and Settle for ceilings Especially when they don’t even have skylights When we’re together the sky turns black And the stars come out and we’re holding each other up With poems and guitar strings/ all of the things that we think about Sharing our love for thought (Bridge): Oh, he said to me he was scared out of his mind So I guess I’ll be that too and know it’ll be alright I mean it’s just love / don’t be scared It’ll give me fuel / When I go out there With my cigarettes and my guitar Your words in my hands, your hands in my heart {be the one, be the one}x3 this time

Where Is Your Mother? Where is your mother? She said that she’d be here today So when they called you names She would send them away Lover, Lover, Where have you gone? I saw you last night but now I’m alone Shameful, Shameful, hold out your hands Tell me the Truth or hide it as best as you can (Chorus): And when you know this time your mother Can’t get you thru this one Cant tell your shame to leave you alone That’s when you know you need to destroy it Pull out your weapons And lay them on the ground “The weather is nice outside today Why don’t you come with me, Let’s go out and play I won’t tell your mommy, I won’t tell your dad I promise after this we’ll never be ever be bad again” But I know they will catch me I know that they’ll see My guilt will show up on my chattering teeth They’ll say, “Why are you smiling with that silly old glare?” I will tell them I’ve nothing to hide anywhere But I’m lying, I’m lying, I’m lying (Chorus) I will never forget all the trips that we made to the city my dear, to the city my dear I would wear you for all of time, but there’re some things I must leave behind

Brother I will never forget the way she opened the door So that our eyes met / and 3 months between us Fell to the floor You were so skinny, so small I will never forget the way you talked that day You were so weird, so corrupted, so strange You were 120 so small (Chorus): I know I’m losing you To this addiction, this corruption of your life I know I’m losing you But you will always be my brother And I’ll always be your sister I will never forget the way they said, “Drugs are Bad” cuz I never knew what that meant, no you never knew what that meant and I will never forget our game board fests and Conan on weeknights and your ‘98 red Prelude but I’d give a Prelude for you; I’d give my life for you (Chorus)

Love Me The tall grass is looking quite nice right now Hiding my body while I am running around Why can’t you see me? / I am screaming so loud Maybe I am the one with the chainsaw now So open my eyes, cuz I’m walking around blind You are my shadow when I am standing in the lights Of the play called “Pretending to Care” I know I tell you you’re an important character I also know that I turn around and I act like you’re not there So open my eyes, cuz I’m walking around blind and you {Love me and Love me and Love me and Love me again}x6

Dear Love Love / What a funny thing / Taking over radios What is it about it that is so powerful? Could it be the product of a lazy society? Or is it truly what can only complete me? My muscles can move mountains / If I exercise them and keep them strong And the most important muscle, seems to be mythic in people It’s the one that pumps my own freedom Why am I dazing out when I kiss you sometimes? Yeah, baby I sure love you, but you’re never the only thing on my mind {No, I did not go out searching}x2 for it in pretty places No I did not check for prices, or accept abusive vices, or recommend expensive taste Cuz I found I’m the most free when I’m alone, playing And I hope that all the mothers, who’ve defined themselves by their lovers Teach their children to write their own dictionaries (Chorus): All you ladies and men who see infinity in them You’re all being silly, or maybe it’s just me / Just me When I tune in to every frequency / You, Love are the main theme Why don’t we sing about anything else in the mainstream? Where’s all the empowerment to improve philosophy? Look into the clichés and learn how to be all you can be There’s one step further to go / Don’t look to be whole in somebody else When you’ve got in under control you’ll know that Lovely love songs aren’t on top of the poll but they’re close / they’re close (Chorus) So bottom line, I want to be independent, especially when you attack me And I can’t help but write about you, love / No, I can’t help but write about you, love Nobody can help but write about you, Love What a funny thing / Taking over radios / What a funny thing / Love

A Fine Fortress One thing always leads to another I was ready to move on before it was over Timing’s not always like pillows and smiles But I let myself loose, now I’m running wild {Pull up the blankets / and turn off the light}x2 I’m coming around to hang out at your door Cuz you opened it once, now I’m down for more Sneaking in in the middle of the night Find each other in the dark, wake up wrapped up in the morning light {Pull up the blankets / and turn off the light}x2 (Chorus): Oh, baby you’re so fine With your original lips and your big brown eyes Pull up the blankets / and turn off the light {Oh, baby you’re so fine}x2 I’m pulling teeth out of the ground In my natural garden, in my garden of sound And every time I move around A little flower of song shoots up, shoots up for me to write down {Pull up the blankets / and turn off the light}x2 (Chorus) (Bridge): Your window’s open, I am cold so bring me in Into our fortress of our gorgeous rock’N’rollin’ Pull up the blankets And turn off the light (Chorus)x2

Brave, My Little Soldier Brave, My Little Soldier Stand Tall, They’re coming closer Make a cozy bed in the trenches of Love’s Land Suit up in absent armour If you go down, you’ll bring your honour March out leaving your defences behind (Chorus): I can be so scared of you Please Save me Now, Save Me {Be Brave}x3 Little One (Chorus) I’m falling so far behind {Be Brave}x4

Lover Named Arrangement There was a lot of green before / and a lot of red Painted a movie of you and me / improvised and scripted It was a lot of fun and magic / a lot of thorns and crowns Now mine’s weighing too much it’s time to put you down There’s nothing worse than caring this much and nothing better I feel it all / I was encompassed / now I’m not so sure (Prechorus): I’m crashing into walls / in this empty room I am hungry and feeling sorry for you (Chorus): Whatever the plan was / it’s got my heart Trapped inside the mistake Whatever the plan was / well now my heart Is that little bit of colour outside the lines On your progressive picture / there’s too much paint For me to stand in front of / interpret and appreciate You’re spilling your blood and your heart All over my walls and floors While at the same time I try to cry for you And try to point you towards the door (Prechorus) (Chorus) (Bridge): Your blood is staining my hands It’s drying into shackles while I am Being pulled just as strong by another lover Another lover named arrangement (Prechorus) (Chorus) The lines… You must have scorched your eyes out to see this You must be half numb to feel this

Prisoner I am a prisoner of your memory I can’t let go Of what might come back so I always hold back When other lips come to call I am still sitting on the stairs In the back of my mind I’ll drop all my things just to come pick you up Come home anytime Come home anytime Love tries to break my back But I am stronger than that I wrote lots of songs, yeah I wrote lots of words I built you a house Of ink to remind me that you’ll walk behind me Until my pen runs out Now you won’t leave the paper you’ve drawn yourself in And I don’t want to write over you But I’m writing more songs and I’m writing more words When will you give me some room? Love tries to break my back And sometimes I’m on the attack I am still sitting on the stairs In the back of my mind I’ll drop all my things just to come pick you up Come home Come home any Come home anytime

The Girl Rant Don’t expect me to love you, Dear Media Cuz what have you done for me? Except make me feel ugly Don’t expect me to love you, Dear Body of Mine Cuz what have you done for me? Except break all the rules of Cosmo Magazine What do you think of your girls who’ve got eating disorders? And what do you think of your girls who’ve got low self-esteem? Knowing nothing about liking who they are Only Knowing about being beauty queens What does that say about you? / What does that say about me? When we’re all dressed the same way And we wear make-up as religiously as we breathe Ah the conventions of being a teenager locked up in your own restrictions kneeling on the floor in servantry to attention, degradation and skankification thank you my culture shock I’m going to rip that blindfold off i am finished bowing down, now i'm stripping down, stripping off all the dirt that i took from your deceiving, mutilating, lie-bleeding, brainwashing hands you covered me in mud from my head to my toes but you will never touch my soul you made the shoes i wore to run away from the real things, the natural things, the only things we'll remember in the end i have oceans of moments, emotions colliding and driving me higher than all of this plastic programmed blindness girls look, you're out of your shell discover yourself you're not covered in everything they've tried to tell you about how to live and dress and act they can't control you don't you know that Britney Spears is not supposed to be the entity of everything a teenaged girl should be? these are such pre-planned images that you are just following you're swallowing everything like you've never seen anything else before like this is all you've ever been exposed to you chose to, but it seems you didn't even know you had a choice, had a brain, had a voice you all look the same this is your life, it's not a game but you're playing it out like it is like you can win some plastic trophy, some plastic barbie doll cosmo magazine is your bible, girl all i can see are your hip-hugger jeans, you're cleavage 14 years old and there's no trace of any goals except the holes in your head all decorated with mascara like this era in your life is defined by your eye liner and the sexual attention that you beg for, not to mention all the pain your heart must go thru just to pull thru in this game of social contest social conquest social expectancy social acceptance i see only money on your body just to try to fit into something that doesn't really even exist we just make it so to feel like we fit into this teenage world this teenaged girl world this teenaged girl world that we can turn into the personal, then united revolution of females across our nation standing in opposition to this media degradation these social constrictions saying that all women are packed with beautiful emotions breathing and in motion brave and outspoken telling ourselves and the world around us that we know we are worth it and you should be proud of us born from the greatest earthly pain of our mothers bloomed into creatures unlike any other with ideas and feelings been thru rough times and healing analysing and dealing with the issues we are presented with and indented with joyously in the end as sisters and friends daughters and lovers we are the mothers of human life on this planet we are every woman that's fought for equal rights we are every woman that's been a beaten wife we are every woman that's stood up and proved herself we are every teenaged girl insecure and unsure trying to figure out who she is all the while with the strength to give birth to give life to our race and we should see no reason to cover our faces with lipstick and eyeliner self-tanners and sparkly shiners because we shine already with our natural female essence without having to pull up our pants every 10 seconds and glancing down to make sure our boobs aren't coming out of our low cut skanky ass shirts we don't need to call out to the boys with our bodies flaunting our asses hoping they will come running because we are women, and they can't define us it's the processes we go thru and lessons we find in the experiences we have, and how we approach the world whether excited, positive, timid or unsure life always throws things at us to consider of all different subjects, different concepts, different pictures and as long as we know that there's more to this place than putting our bodies on sale and painting our faces than getting guys to think we're hot to make us feel like we're worth it cause what do they know anyways they've got censored emotions and penises to deal with they've got fake images to live up to, too so let's let them figure out for themselves that they don't have to be 2pac or Tom Cruise or that guy from Greenday or Toby McGuire in the mean time ladies, let's figure out who we are thru experiences, laughter, trials, and triumphs failures and scars, organization and chaos because we can do anything, and we don't need rules to tell us how to dress act, how to be girls we just are, and we're here together they can try to tell us how but it is our own mothers who gave us our life and therefore our freewill to choose how we really want to do things to choose how we really want to fill up these spaces of opportunity, of feeling and voice it is not the social conventions that can tell us that it is not the media that makes that choice so don't think that this is all that there is and that this is how you have to be open up your mind to as much as you possibly can and embrace who you can possibly call, "me" Yes, i have oceans of moments, emotions colliding and driving me higher than all of this plastic programmed blindness
