Get a Little Closer
Break all you see / Make a scene / Feel my heartbeat / Why won’t you talk to me?
How can I fall to pieces when you need me? / Human nature might be the enemy
Get a little closer
Keep lovin’ me / Don’t think I’d last a day without your smile / Let’s find a way to stay a while
You’re mad for me / There’s no escape I’ve got you in my hands / I’ve got a plan to keep you ever by my side
I won’t regret the day we met / I feel into your hands / The mess we made / The warm embrace / Stay a while
The Fans & the Fools
Clock keeps ticking / World keeps spinning ‘round
And never does it quit / You got the fans and the fools to notice you
And you never call it quits / You got the part you always wanted
Never found it was enough / Forget the final bow before the curtain falls
And if you find the weight is too much / Shed a layer or two / Whatever you do / Don’t let the ground break through
Define the rouse / Outline the rules / The room is filling up for you / They’ll never know you hardly cared at all
And if you find the weight is too much / Shed a layer or two
Or let the ground break through / Never hurts to pray the fame away
The palace lights are lit / The party’s on
Godless
Up on my feet again / Can hardly see straight / Can’t find my feet but it’s only one more day
Well it’s no secret that I’m a good liar / I’m stubborn and wild / And you know it
No wonder why / It’s how I see it / When all my fears remind me
I’m godless in my ways / Now I’m heartless and unafraid
Can’t shake this feeling / Where has the time gone?
Oh he said to me / “Nothing is wasted, Just watch me work it out”
But how will I feel it / When all my fears remind me / That I’m godless in my ways?
Afraid I’m awfully lazy / And godless in my ways / Now I’m heartless and unafraid
Uneasy
Oh little vicious seed / A man in black, he came to me / And he knocked me out cold
I’ve got some fight in me / Although he spoke so carefully / I can’t heal that quickly / Oh little vicious seed
I’ve been drinking from the fountain / Always thinking I was someone to die for / I’ve been breathing in the toxin
Now I feel a little uneasy / A little birdie told me
“You gotta walk through the fire to get it, you gotta walk through the flames”
I invited him to come and sit / I thought he’d never leave
You gotta walk through the fire to get it, you gotta walk through the flames
Miss Fortune called me to me / But I couldn’t get past him / She promised the world to me / But I can’t could outlast him
Now I’m rollin with the fringes / Won’t someone give me something to die for / I’ve been breathing in the toxin
Hide
Wait 'til the wind subsides / I can’t pick all at once all the things I hate
Falling into numbers and wasting away / Pulling all the stops to make history
Well I’ve felt the sharp pain inside / Held back and pulled apart at times
Call it fate or the end of the line / It’s time that you clean up this mess while I hide
I could hide / Out of sight and out of mind
Sit, take a rest / Live in constant day dream / Take a hit, make it last
“Putting in the time can make everything right” / Pulling all the stops to make history
Turn not your face away / All this to break me? / When all is said and done / All this to break me?
Special Thanks
This album wouldn’t be possible without the love and support of so
many people in my life. To my family, thank you for encouraging me
to pursue music, and for being my biggest fan. To my friends, thank
you for cheering me on and keeping me sane during the highs and
lows of this process. Special thanks to Michael Shawcross for showing
me how to make sick beats, to Rylan Martin and Clay Bolen for lending
me gear, and to Ron Dazo for your help with mixing and mastering this album.
Most of all, thank you to my loving and supportive husband, Luc, who stayed up
late with me while I wrote and recorded this album, for helping me learn and
troubleshoot when things went wrong, for putting up with my mood swings
when all I wanted to do was quit, and for not letting me quit.
Thank you for the long car rides while we listened to numerous mixes and
for caring about this album as much as I do. I love you.
