Hail Mary
02:40
|

|
Hail Mary, full of grace
Did you ever think to run away
How did you bear the burden
Without breaking?
Holy Mary, mother of all
Watched over me till I was ready
I remember the roses
At your feet
Hail Mary, full of grace
Did you ever try to run away?

Radio Silent (Tori)
04:02
|
|||
|
Brown eyes, pink hair
That vacant stare
I know all too well
Small crowd, loud sounds
Live for a while
I wish I could have stayed, hey
CHORUS
The piano man told me to keep hacking away
The lion girl taught me to love every day
I don't wish upon a star, I wish upon a stereo
In the hopes that someone can hear me
Can anyone hear me?
Wide skies, sea breeze
Puts me at ease
If only for a while
Cold air, warm house
String lights unwound
I lead the crowd in style now
CHORUS
Made a deal with the devil, five cycles to gamble
My life for my love, else I'll join the club
When I'm 27, God knows I'm not going to heaven
And if I win for some reason
I'd probably be radio silent
The piano man met me in a sailor blue dress
The drummer boy told me that he understands
I don't wish upon a star, I wish upon a stereo
In the hopes that someone can hear me
Can anyone hear me?

Sixteen (Bobbi)
05:00
|
|||
|
You know I can't go back
I don't belong there anymore
And you're stuck in the past
The way you wander all alone
PRECHORUS
And you, you say I've changed
Well people change
But I still feel the same about you
CHORUS
When I'm with you I'm
Sixteen, you've always been my
Safety, and all I wanna do
When I'm alone with you
Is hold your hand and
Pretend, that nothing's changed and
Pretend, that time has frozen still
When I'm alone with you
You stayed by my side
In the same place every day
And I stayed by your side
The world fell away, in the shade
PRECHORUS + CHORUS
I can pretend
We're sixteen again x 3
As much as I'd like to deny it
I've gotten used to the silence
We've grown apart, almost as far
As the distance between us
CHORUS x 2

Unpacked (Kama)
03:35
|
|||
|
Hang out my insecurities on a laundry line
Unpack the best of me, pick them one at a time
Devour the best of me on your quest for currency
Three quarters for my sanity
CHORUS
And I wish I could listen to my own songs
And I wish you could listen to what I've got to say
I would give you all I've got but
At what cost?
And I wish I wasn't often ignored
And I wish I didn't feel so anxious all the time
I would give you all I've got but
At what cost?
Lay out my insecurities for the world to see
Unpack the worst of me, pick at them till they bleed
Devour the worst of me on your quest for certainty
Just call me when it's time to leave
CHORUS

Green Eyes (Sera Pt. I)
04:31
|
|||
|
I wonder how it feels to
Live a life that's filled with
Happiness and smiles around
I fantasize about what
I'd be like if I was
Healthy and loved for once
Tell me how it feels to look like that
Tell me how it feels to be looked at
The way you want them to
I wish I could be you
Tell me how it feels to not be lost
Tell me how it feels to
Be missed when you're gone
How can I be strong?
I'm scared of what she would do
Sera, tell me if you'd
Change the music or the view
If what they say about you
Sera, if it's all true
I'm scared of what I can't refuse
Tell me how it feels to be alright
I'll tell you how it feels to cry at night
Until your tears run dry
And pretend you're fine
Tell me how it feels to love someone
Tell me how it feels to
Be loved by someone
I wish I could be loved
These green eyes
Are eating me alive
You've destroyed me so many times
but I'm still alive
So that's alright
I'm not going down without a fight
Tell me how it feels to look like that
Tell me how it feels to be looked at
The way you want them to
I wish I could be you
Tell me how it feels to love someone
Tell me how it feels to
Be loved by someone
I wish I could be loved

Gone (Ella)
04:44
|
|||
|
Gone
Are the middle school loves
The high school sweethearts
That I never knew
Gone
Are the promises
Forever and always
That they'll never leave you
Gone
CHORUS
'Cause everyone pities the ugly girl
'Cause they know she'll never have the world
'Cause I'm fuckable, but not loveable
And sometimes I wish everyone was blind
Then maybe I would have a chance to find love
'Cause I don't want to just fuck
And I think
I'm trying to break my own heart
Letting my life fall apart
Nobody's at fault but me
And I
I'd rather break my heart
Than to face all the things
Threatening to kill me
Oh I wish I could just breathe
CHORUS

Cold Sweat (Lynne)
05:34
|
|||
|
Nobody learns
From mistakes that they've made
And try as we may
We don't really change
And oh, I don't know
Anything anymore
I'll go up in flames
But I can't help myself
CHORUS
Can you hear me
Can you help me
I don't wanna fade away
Into the dark, they're waiting for me
I'm finally fighting
They're taking me hostage
Don't let them take me away
And oh, I don't know
What I have become
You say it gets easier
Well how many more years
CHORUS
For once in your life
You're not driven by spite
To do something with your life
And that's a good sign, right?
You're not wasting your time
The light in your eyes has returned
I thought they had burnt out
In a cold sweat that winter
When you thought the stars had left
CHORUS

Closure (Vicky)
03:29
|
|||
|
You left me your card and you
Left your mark and you
Left me
I don't know your heart, if you
Played the part or just
Played me?
CHORUS
And when the music stops
I don't know where you are
Do we pick up where we left off or just ignore the past?
It's getting hard to see now
Why must this be so hard
When the music stops
I don't know how you feel or if you want to see me still?
It's getting hard to think now
It's getting hard to see now
I wish we could talk but I
Don't know how, could you
Show me?
What did you mean when you
Held me close and you
Kissed me?
CHORUS
I don't know your heart, if you
Want my heart, could you
Tell me?

St. Laurent (Ashley)
01:15
|
|||
|
I haunt the block on St Laurent
(I haunt the block on St Laurent)
Tryin' to find some peace of mind
(Tryin' to find some peace of mind)
In the shared air, shared words
Screamed until my lungs would burst
(Scream until it numbs the hurt)
I find my peace of mind
(Did you find your peace of mind?)
In the form of sore throats, ringing ears
(Have no fear)
And a piece of me hears the call
(A piece of me answers the call)
And haunts the block on St Laurent...

Bloom (Gee)
03:51
|
|||
|
You chase down poetry
With shots of whiskey, and underneath
You know you're moving your heart to bleed
You gave up honesty;
You wanted a break from reality
Are you happy with what you've gleaned?
CHORUS
Listening to songs that remind you of a past long gone
Just so you don't have to think about what you've just lost
And it's funny how they grow in the corner of the room when you're looking
And it's funny how they know you don't wanna see them bloom so they flourish
And it's funny how they mark you so you wouldn't forget them soon
And it's funny how they twist you so you know you'll never have it so good
I tried to be heartless
But it was never quite enough
I guess it's just my shitty luck
What must I sacrifice
To survive the road less travelled by
I was not made for this life
CHORUS
As you watch they grow
You give up on hope
'Cause you know
What they've told you is true
Some things are just not meant for you
|
||||
11. |
||||
|
I know that one day
We'll go our separate ways
And I won't ask you to stay
So hold me close
Till the sky's no longer grey
PRECHORUS
We'll keep each other company
You know I was just lonely
We couldn't give each other more
So here we are
CHORUS
Your rabbit foot heart
Beating against my
Hand on your heart
Breathe in your scent
In a whirlwind of cards
Somehow we picked right
I'll say goodnight
To your rabbit foot heart
PRECHORUS
CHORUS

Unbeliever (Anne)
03:41
|
|||
|
I can't trust anyone who won't show me
Their flaws, their bumps, their anxiety
I don't believe they have none
She's got me wrapped around her little finger
Standing at the edge before the water
I could still go back but I want to fall
I'm not the answer to your prayers
We're not getting any younger
Silver tongue under silver stars
Your hands so cold I almost faltered
CHORUS
You put a spell on me
So give me something to believe in
Your words twist themselves
In a familiar shape
I know your spell, it's not too late
But I'll stay
So give me something to believe in
So give me something to believe in
I thought that I would never belong
I'd given up but then she came along
Sweet things on the tip of her tongue
She's got me wrapped around her little finger
Standing at the edge before the water
I'm not going back, I'm gonna fall
Your bass echoes in my bones
Your name echoes when I'm alone
I know it's inevitable
But I hope that you'll be gentle
CHORUS
