Introductory Abandonment

LYRICS:
Why do I always wallow in this dark feeling?
My focus should be on moving on and healing.
Instead, I'll waste all of my time writing,
Songs about how sad I feel, and self-pitying.
Sit down and witness my over-dramatic shitshow
How fortunate that you'll be sitting in the front row
How much true and what's false, I don't know.
But I hope you enjoyed this silly intro!

In My Own Head

LYRICS:
CHORUS:
If I could just tell you what I feel inside, and want to say.
Then I'd be able to work things out in a productive way.
But I feel so lost deep inside
I'm stuck in my own head and tongue-tied.
VERSE 1:
I'm feeling so overwhelmed, in a panic losing it.
I start to retreat inside, in order to cope I hide.
I can tell just what is going on around me
But I'm stuck in the confines of my memories.
All I can remember is pain
Even though happy memories usually fill my brain
CHORUS:
If I could just tell you what I feel inside, and want to say.
Then I'd be able to work things out in a productive way.
But I feel so lost deep inside
I'm stuck in my own head and tongue-tied.
VERSE 2:
When I snap back to my harsh, daunting reality
I'll feel the shame kicking in, delivering apologies
I make up a story where everyone's angry
Even though it's not true I still fear their pity.
I fear their tolerance is fading
So I'll spend the next few days desperately evading
CHORUS:
If I could just tell you what I feel inside, and want to say.
Then I'd be able to work things out in a productive way.
But I feel so lost deep inside
I'm stuck in my own head and tongue-tied.
BRIDGE:
When will it stop? I don't even know why
I keep doing this to myself
All of my memories come flooding by
But the glass is half-empty in my eyes
CHORUS:
If I could just tell you what I feel inside, and want to say.
Then I'd be able to work things out in a productive way.
But I feel so lost deep inside
I'm stuck in my own head and tongue-tied.
If I could just tell you what I feel inside, and want to say.
Then I'd be able to work things out in a productive way.
But I feel so lost (so lost, so lost, so lost) deep inside
I'm stuck in my own head and tongue-tied.
OUTRO:
Tongue-Tied
Tongue Tied
Tongue Tied

Reflection

LYRICS:
VERSE 1:
First time I saw your face, I thought that I knew you in an intimate way
I saw myself as a nutcase, you seemed like the part of me I wanted to display
But then my feelings changed.
I saw you in a new romantic light
And every night I wondered how they'd been rearranged.
CHORUS:
I want to love you, I want you to say "you're mine."
I want to take you and make you my new design.
My feelings for you are nothing but strange
You're reflecting my desire to change
VERSE 2:
Everyone always says:
"You can't love someone else without loving yourself first"
But after 6000 days,
I keep on fooling myself into thinking it's reversed
I always feel the same
No matter who or what I attain
Maybe one day I'll have the right thing to fix my brain
CHORUS:
I want to love you, I want you to say "you're mine."
I want to take you and make you my new design.
My feelings for you are nothing but strange
You're reflecting my desire to change
And after all the things I've done to try and fix me
(I want to love you, I want you to say "you're mine")
And after all the time I've spent hoping you'll pick me.
(I want to take you, and make you my new design)
CHORUS:
I want to love you, I want you to say "you're mine."
I want to take you and make you my new design.
My feelings for you are nothing but strange
I want to love you, I want you to say "you're mine."
I want to take you and make you my new design.
My feelings for you are nothing but strange
You're reflecting my desire to change

Shapeshifter

LYRICS:
CHORUS:
Well, I'm a mound of clay, a blank canvas.
But no matter what shape I take I stay in that deep sadness.
The others say they know me
I don't know about me
If I take the right form
I'll be happy and free.
VERSE 1:
Every day when I wake up
I look in the mirror and get ready for my close-up
I don't really know who I am
But I pick someone else and I try to make me like them
Being a shapeshifter's my lifestyle
Tell me who or what you like and I'll
Try to be that person anything to make you smile wide.
CHORUS:
Well, I'm a mound of clay, a blank canvas.
But no matter what shape I take I stay in that deep sadness.
The others say they know me
I don't know myself
If I take the right form
I won't need your help.
VERSE 2:
Played every role but never got a standing ovation
I've always kinda thought that was my misery's causation
Maybe if I change again
I won't be the worst I'll always rate a perfect ten.
Maybe if I change again
I won't have to worry if those I love will want to leave or when.
Being a shapeshifter's all I know
but I feel I've been down every road
I'll never feel the pain again I'll never have to feel that low
CHORUS:
Well, I'm a mound of clay, a blank canvas.
But no matter what shape I take I stay in that deep sadness.
The others say they know me
I don't know about me
If I take the right form
I'll be happy and free.
BRIDGE:
And after all the things I've did
And after all the things I've been
I've found strength, I've found strength from within.
CHORUS:
Well, I'm a mound of clay, a blank canvas.
But no matter what shape I take I stay in that deep sadness.
The others say they know me
I don't know about me
If I take the right form
I'll be happy and free.
Well, I'm a mound of clay, a blank canvas.
But no matter what shape I take I stay in that deep sadness.
The others say they know me
I don't know about myself
If I take the right form
I won't need your help
