-Lyrics-
Oh, Golden Malibu, take me on a journey with you
Through uncharted grounds, help me settle down
Haven’t heard a word, but they’re out there somewhere, a blur
We’ll ride the tide straight through the night and watch the sun
We’ll ride the tide straight through the night and watch the sun
Watch the sun rise
Oh, mighty golden steed, what will you show me tonight?
I can only see through lenses green
These curtains I call my eyelids work to keep the dark inside
I’ll ride the tide straight through the night and watch the sun
I’ll hide my fear straight through the night and watch the sun
Watch the sun rise
Open my curtain eyes, the window for my soul, to the walls and it all deep below
These curtains are not blinds
These curtain eyes are not blind
Oh, mighty golden steed, thank you for saving me tonight
*Lyrics Written by Sheralyn Wellman and Katherine O'Leary*

Lamplight

-Lyrics-
I saw your room from my window, I saw it just passing through
But I couldn’t go in, even if I wanted to
I saw all the plans we made, reflected in the lamplight
It felt like yesterday, I should’ve been there tonight
Fifteen seconds, for six hours straight
But I feel miles away
I’d go back so fast
And I couldn’t help but ask
Do you miss me?
Do you miss me at all?
I see you at the piano, learning our favorite songs
I could’ve listened forever, but it didn’t last that long
And when you turn off that lamplight, is there someone else in your bed?
Do you ever think to yourself, “It should’ve been her instead”?
Do you ever look outside and feel an emptiness that you fight?
Maybe you feel free, but do you miss me?
Do you miss me... at all?
Are you listening at all?
*Lyrics written by Sheralyn Wellman and Katherine O'Leary*

Green Coat

-Lyrics-
You were the one
You were the one in the green coat
I knew every pocket and all your best lines
The way you zipped your secrets inside
I had to read between the stripes
I miss those green coat times
For a while it was fine
But now you’re just a memory
I knew every pocket and all your best lines
The way you zipped your secrets inside
I had to read between the stripes
You were the one in the green coat
I’m fine, I’m fine, this happens all the time
I’m fine, I’m fine, I’m fine
But I miss those green coat times

Passage

-Lyrics-
I went awalking today, heavy, slow and steady
Deliberate in thought, I gifted away my strength
The air was cool in my sweater
Swaddling myself in the fabric of familiarity
I entered uneasy confusion
Convinced that in darkness I wander
Or do I flirt with the recurring shadow?
Perhaps there’s just a divide
Maybe even light needs a darker side
My well-trodden path
My fall reflection
My autumn nostalgia
My seasonal sentiment
My fondness
My melancholy
*Lyrics Written by Sheralyn Wellman and Katherine O'Leary*

Cassandra
03:23

|
-Lyrics-
She tears you apart and it lifts her soul
She sees the crown and she just glows
She looks up and down, walks through the crowd
Tries to be like them but she can’t pretend
Well I’m so tired of being sick and tired
And I’m so tired of playing nice
I’m so tired of being bothered
I’m tired of that queen and her spies
Truth hurts and that’s no lie
Stick a needle in her eye
What part of that was a good idea
Stealing the thoughts from a poor man’s tears
Ready or not, here she comes
Well I’m so tired of being sick and tired
And I’m so tired of playing nice
I’m so tired of being bothered
I’m tired of that queen and her spies
She’s playing tug-o-war with the Devil, she’s clever, she might win
Well I’m so tired of being sick and tired
And I’m so tired of playing nice
I’m so tired of being bothered
I’m tired of that queen and her spies

You Can

-Lyrics-
You can love me or you can leave
You can go to hell, you know that place oh so well
You can stay away from me
Or you can stay with me
You can love me or you can leave
You can go to hell
Cause you already brought down everybody else
You can stay away from me
You can stay with me
Don’t add me onto your list
Of people who got more than a kiss from you
Don’t you dare check me off
Because you know we didn’t get that far
And you can make new list
Put me on there as someone who cared
As someone who saw more worth
And a hell of a lot of hurt
Put me on there as someone who cared
About more than getting down there
I’m not scared that I cared
You can love me or you can leave
I’m not scared at all
I was never something special to you
I was just an escape, that girl to give your mentality a break
And while you sat and enjoyed the ride
You left me in the dust just wondering why
Gave me the excuse, gave me the blame
In tennis when you love all you have nothing but this
And in a game of tennis it’s not even close
Shame’s the name of the game and I’m cutting the rope
Congratulations, I was that girl you hurt
And the only way I know that is you still don’t care
Do you think I’m some sort of anchor well please
Sugar, this anchor’s gonna float in the air
I was never something special to you
I was just an escape, that girl to give your mentality a break
And while you sat and enjoyed the ride
You left me in the dust just wondering why
Gave me the excuse, gave me the blame
In tennis when you love all you have nothing but this
And in a game of tennis it’s not even close
Well, I hope to see you down the road to success,
And maybe some point you’ll learn to speak from your chest
We were doing this dance and you’re ahead of the ball
But I want nothing from you so I can love all
Nothing, so I can love all
You can love me or you can leave

Fable

-Lyrics-
Introvert is who I am and in the dust is where I stand
With rolling eyes who do not see and crying wolves who don’t believe
If Mary’s lamb was just a beast then what is to become of me?
Hold my hand as I cry from contact I despise
And comfort that makes me ill, you know the story where
Jack was never there for Jill
He beckons her up the hill with desire
So she jumps in the well to put out the fire
Tumbling, tumbling, tumbling, tumbling down
Egg shells surrounding
What is to become of me?
All of the habits and all of the trends couldn’t put Jack with Jill again
Introvert is who I am and in the dust is where I stand
With rolling eyes who do not see and crying wolves who don’t believe
If Mary’s lamb was just a beast then what is to become of me?

-Lyrics-
You feel warm ‘neath the covers
The clouds have covered our lunar moon
I can’t tell if tonight came all too soon
You feel warm ‘neath the covers of our secrets
I don’t want this night to end
Or the morning to begin
Let’s stay here
‘Neath the covers

Mechanisms

-Lyrics-
For all you know, this is how we cope
She finds another bed, another hand to hold
He takes another smoke break from this mystery, allies with misery,
In this here thing we question called life
Won’t you write a song with me?
And we’ll keep keepin’ on
In the time we’ll fly
And lock, stock, and barrel will pass us
Goodbye, mechanisms
And in comes, really living
Is it safe? These silly games we play?
She runs another mile, another small escape
He chooses to stay away for a while
For the fear of failure, why even try?
Won’t you write a song with me?
And we’ll keep keepin’ on
In the time we’ll fly
And lock, stock, and barrel will pass us
Goodbye, mechanisms
And in comes, really living

-Lyrics-
So you say you’ve lost your track but I’d say you were never on
Your decisions had no ground so go jump ship before you fall
Your muscles hustle bustle but the currents far too strong
So you say you’ve lost your track but I’d say you were never on
You were never ready to set sail
Do you want to swim, to swim in a sea of gold?
But you choose to stay, to stay and watch the world unfold?
Did you lose your map? Is your course off track? Did you never have a plan?
Just an hour late but they shut that gate and now you’re left to stand alone
But you choose to stay and watch the world unfold
Do you want to?
Do you want to while treading water, holding without care
Do you want to swim?
Do you want to swim in a sea of gold and watch your dreams grow cold?
Patterns, cycles, boys and girls
Bottles, roaches, bills and ashes
So you pack your bags while all the dreams you had
Are out the door waiting for a cab
Do you want to swim, to swim in a sea of gold?
While treading water, holding without care
As we watch the world unfold
