A Few Words 04:52
I would like a paper sign to point me in the direction of where I should be going And I would like to know you more I would like to share myself with somebody completely, talk to him so sweetly, as he takes me as I am And I would like that someone to be you Well, what you need to know is, what I wanna show it How wonderful you are And all I'm really asking, all I want in return is A few words I would like a watchful pair of eyes to watch me while I'm sleeping, make sure that I'm keeping all of my promises And I would like to get you out of my head Well, what you need to know is, what I wanna show it How beautiful you are And all I'm really asking, all I want in return is A few words I will never be able to watch another Tarantino flick without thinking about your smile I will never be able to smoke another bowl without hoping that I bump into you after a while I will never be able to walk down the hall without getting nervous as I pass your door And I will never be able to call you on the phone without getting butterflies anymore Fuck you I don't need you; God, I wanna see you What a hypocrite I am God, you make me nervous; God, I don't deserve this But I don't know how to feel But I do know that this pain inside is real You don't know how to feel But I wish you did You were the first man to break my heart

Badass 03:31
I know I intimidate And you know that I won't hesitate To put anyone in their place That's just the kind of girl my daddy raised Just another badass female Living in this world full of silly superficial girls Just another badass female You don't have to understand, you're just another silly stupid man I don't need a boyfriend to tell me that I'm pretty I would much rather be considered witty When I look at you, all I feel is pitty Showing off your body to every damn person in this city Just another badass female Living in this world full of silly superficial girls Just another badass female You don't have to understand, you're just another silly stupid man I admit I've got a mind of my own And I will vote third party because I'm not another deadbeat drone Though in my beliefs sometimes I feel all alone I refuse to become another brainwashed, American clone Just another badass female Living in this world full of silly superficial girls Just another badass female You don't have to understand, you're just another silly stupid man

There is a quiet here, absence of sound There is a silence here, no one's around There is an anger here, there is a pain There is a hunger here, I feel restrain Days may come When the rain just won't stop beating on my window Maybe I'll just run and hide; you know I've tried; I need to get somewhere outside Of here There is a sadness here, you're going away There is a madness here, I get crazier each passing day There is something here that wasn't here before I feel something here, maybe I should shut my door Days may come When the rain just won't stop beating on my window Maybe I'll just run and hide; you know I've tried; I need to get somewhere outside Of here Days may come Days may come Days may come Days may come Days may come When the rain just won't stop beating on my window Maybe I'll just run and hide; you know I've tried; I need to get somewhere outside Of here

It was the stillest bird I had ever seen Lying dead in an ashtray with its feathers of green You are the saddest bird I have ever known How I wish you could sing for me darlin' and fly on back home Does your family miss you, do you they even care? Have they even noticed that you're no longer there? Do you think they'd have buried you in a proper funeral? How I wish you weren't in that ashtray so quiet and alone Were you a lone bird, desperate but free? If I were a bird, too, you'd be lying there with me I wish you were a phoenix and could rise up from that ash But instead you'll lie there in cigarettes and trash Who are you bird; where did you come from? To lie, dead, in an ashtray is incredibly random You are the saddest bird I have ever known How I wish you could sing for me darlin' and fly on back home Fly on back home Fly back home

I know your name Picked you out from across the crowded room I know your face But these feelings that I had came on a bit too soon Well, you ain't worth my time anymore You ain't worth my rhymes anymore You ain't worth the effort I put in To loving you over and over again You're leaving today I really do hate to see you go I'm wishing you could stay But maybe this will give you the chance you need to grow Well, you ain't worth my time anymore You ain't worth my rhymes anymore You ain't worth the effort I put in To loving you over and over again And I realize you aren't worth the tears I've cried And I know now that I don't need you anyhow Yes, I know that I deserve so much more You didn't even bother to shut that fucking door You ain't worth my time anymore You ain't worth my rhymes anymore You ain't worth the effort I put in To loving you over and over again Forget my name Forget the way I look you in the eye Forget my face This is goodbye

I try to act real nice and give good advice To new people Turns out that I'm too shy to even say hi I'm so damn feeble So, I overcompensate by acting like I hate The whole world I'm really not that mean, I'm insecure your see I'm a damaged girl Why must I wear my mind on my sleeve? I cry all the time and I bruise like a peach I guess you're just gonna have to find a way to get over it I'm so moody, so much moves me That I act crazy I'll smile then I'll pout, I'll whisper then I'll shout My emotions are a bit hazy I hate these stupid scars that I put on my arms Accidentally on purpose I could talk to you in length about my teenage angst But I think that would be worthless Why must I wear my mind on my sleeve? I cry all the time and I bruise like a peach I guess you're just gonna have to find a way to get over it I forget to eat and don't get enough sleep My mom gets mad I don't take vitamins, that's probably a sin But I don't feel that bad I've been known to panic, yes, I've been called manic But I prefer the term creative I refuse to take meds, they're probably from the feds Just call me jaded Why must I wear my mind on my sleeve? I cry all the time and I bruise like a peach I guess you're just gonna have to find a way to get over it I think I'm finally starting to get over it One day, I will be over it

Steel 04:44
I am weak, I am strong And I can't figure out which side of this coin I belong on I am small, I am big And I can't figure out which kind of world I want to live in I am tired, I am bored I can't do this anymore All I know is what I feel Neither my heart nor my brain Are made of steel I am proud, I am shamed And I cannot figure out who on this list is to blame I am scared, but I will fight And I don't care who or how, I don't care where or when, day or night I want passion, I want fire I want beauty and desire All I know is what I feel Neither my heart nor my brain Are made of steel I am proud, I am shamed And I cannot figure out who on this list is to blame I am scared, but I will fight And I don't care who or how, I don't care where or when, day or night I am tired, I am bored I can't do this anymore All I know is what I feel Neither my heart nor my brain Are made of steel

MaryAnne 04:37
Do Lord, oh, do Lord, do you remember me? I'm standing way down here and I'm not sure if you can see Maybe if I scream real loud, you will hear my voice I'm sorry for all I did, but I didn't have a choice Go ahead and strap me to that electric chair Just give me one quick minute to check my curly hair I wanna look real pretty right before I go and die Lord, I hope you're waiting for me in that big blue sky Do Lord, oh, do Lord, do you remember me? I'm standing way down here and I'm not sure if you can see Maybe if I scream real loud, you will hear my voice I'm sorry for all I did, but I didn't have a choice Mister Executioner, why are you so sad? Am I the prettiest victim that you've ever had? Well, dontcha worry, baby, I will be just fine If you give me one last swig of that blood red wine Do Lord, oh, do Lord, do you remember me? I'm standing way down here and I'm not sure if you can see Maybe if I scream real loud, you will hear my voice I'm sorry for all I did, but I didn't have a choice I once had a friend, her name was MaryAnne, That is until she decided to sleep with my man The thought of it all just made me feel sick So I shot her in the mouth that use to suck my boyfriend's dick Do Lord, oh, do Lord, do you remember me? I'm standing way down here and I'm not sure if you can see Maybe if I scream real loud, you will hear my voice I'm sorry for all I did, but I didn't have a choice Next, it was my boyfriend's turn to get his As soon as I came home, I gave him a kiss Before he could so much as utter a cry I shot him right there between his sorry, blue eyes Do Lord, oh, do Lord, do you remember me? I'm standing way down here and I'm not sure if you can see Maybe if I scream real loud, you will hear my voice I'm sorry for all I did, but you know, I didn't have a choice

You think that you're in love with me But I wear a mask don't you see If you could see all of my flaws If you understood my cause You would see that I am not that special I am God's gift to no one Isn't it beautiful that none of us are special? Yet somehow, to me, you are Infatuation can be grand I feel weak just touching your hand Your love is too good to believe Your love is so hard to receive Can't you see that I am not that special? I am God's gift to no one Isn't it beautiful that none of us are special? Yet somehow, to me, you are Why can't you see that I am not that special? I am God's gift to no one Isn't it beautiful that none of us are special? Yet somehow, to me, to me, to me you are If in love we were to fall You would have to break down my wall

Falling 04:05
I thought, I thought, I thought, I thought I'd never enter into love And I fought, I fought, I fought, I fought The inclination to think of Your voice, you eyes, your smile Your wise remarks, I feel the sparks I fear I might be falling I hope you like the me you see Because that's all there is I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid To take you as you are Your voice, you eyes, your smile Your wise remarks, I feel the sparks I think I might be falling You make me laugh, you make me laugh You make me want to sing I want, I want, I want, I want To tell you everything Your voice, you eyes, your smile Your wise remarks, I feel the sparks I know that I am falling
