the innocence

Oh to be little
In a fantasy of your wildest dreams
The sky is not the limit
When you're innocent to reality
Float away on cotton candy clouds
To a space like zone where no adults are allowed
It's just us now after dark in a room filled with stars
You're a dreamer
A fairytale believer
You see an ocean
When I see a river
I miss those days
Which all feel like a haze
So innocent to life
The innocence
So baby
Don't grow up too fast
Stay sweet and carefree to all that goes past
You're perfect the way you are
That innocent, authentic place from your heart
So baby
Stay young for longer
Each day, every minute you're getting stronger
You help me think and you help me see
In this world of dark you're the light for me
And I just can't wait to meet who you're gonna be
Making mud pies, in a puddle at the park
Climbing trees, running loose, some spotlight after dark
Your first sleepover, even though you were scared
Little tiny things that make no sense for you to fear
Taking first steps and learning to speak
Nothing in life with you feels bleak
Cause you bring colour to a big blank space that I couldn't see
You're a dreamer
A fairytale believer
You see an ocean
When I see a river
I miss those days
Which all feel like a haze
So innocent to life
The innocence
But baby
Don't grow up too fast
Stay sweet and carefree to all that goes past
You're perfect the way you are
That innocent, authentic place from your heart
So baby
Stay young for longer
Each day, every minute you're getting stronger
You help me think and you help me see
In this world of dark you're the light for me
But baby
Don't grow up too fast
Stay sweet and carefree to all that goes past
You're perfect the way you are
That innocent, authentic place from your heart
So baby
Stay young for longer
Each day, every minute you're getting stronger
You help me think and you help me see
In this world of dark you're the light for me
And I just can't wait to meet who you're gonna be

the broken
02:44

I've been chasing after you all this time
Thought we were forever
You'd always be mine
But you thought different
How could I not see?
You broke this
You're broken
I'm broken
You broke me
A little fish knew no wrong when you hooked me on your line
Brought me to the surface with the promise we'll be fine
But you had more bait for other girls in this sea
I know that
You're hopeless
I'm hoping
I'm free
So dig the knife deeper
Rip out my heart
I fell too hard right from the start
Tears stain my cheeks
And blood stains the floor
I'll be leaving with a brave face till I walk out your door
We're over
I'm over it
So over this
I'm sure
Can't believe I let you be my first love
I was blind in seeing life with you could be enough
What happened to the person who filled me with glee?
You broke this
You're broken
I'm broken
You broke me
Now days feel like months as time slows down
Tryna figure out how to live my life without you around
I wonder if I'd go back to you
If you begged on your knees?
We're broken
You're broken
I'm broken
You broke me
I know that
You're hopeless
I'm hoping
I'm free
So dig the knife deeper
Rip out my heart
I fell too hard right from the start
Tears stain my cheeks
And blood stains the floor
I'll be leaving with a brave face till I walk out your door
I'm broken but I know that I deserve more

the independence
03:24
|

Finding myself is harder than I thought
Who am I?
And what am I here for?
Letting all these people tell who me I should be
But fuck em
If they're no help they can pack up their shit and leave
I was broken but I picked up the pieces
Without anyone here, by my side
I know love is not the only thing that I need
So it's time to go into the real world
To find
The real me
The real me
The real me
The real me
The real me
Where she at?
I wanna know where I'm at
Go into the real world
The real real world
To find the real me
The real real me
The independence is flourishing
And I'll probably have some fun along the way
Might kiss a boy or two
Date a nice girl
Go to the clubs and drink until the lights swirl
Around in colours
Go home with someone new
Wake up feeling like shit but then repeat for night two
I'll pay my rent
And shit talk about this economy
Fuck getting a car since I live in the city
The grocery prices are getting way too damn high
Guess it's time to live off instant noodles in this broke student life
Feeling kinda homesick might face time my mum
Rant about all the things in adult life that just ain't fun
I know love is not the only thing that I need
So it's time to go into the real world
Open up and find the real me
The real me
The real me
The real me
The real me
I'm a bad bitch
Know what I want
Learnt from life
Learnt from love
Now it's time
To spread my wings
On my own
On my own
I'm a bad bitch
Know what I want
Learnt from life
Learnt from love
Now it's time
To spread my wings
On my own
To try new things
Yeah
Might go on a date with someone I don't care about
But getting outside they say might be good for my mental health
I study in class but procrastinate on course readings
Then hit the gym after another long ass work meeting
I found pride in thrifting and buying new furniture I've noticed
Things I do show I'm turning into my mother
I know love is not the only thing that I need
So it's time to go into the real world
To open up and find me
The real me
The real me
Where she at?
I wanna know where I'm at
Going to the real world
The real real world
To find the real me
The real real me
I'm a bad bitch
Know what I want
Learnt from life
Learnt from love
Now it's time
To spread my wings
On my own
On my own
I'm a bad bitch
Know what I want
Learnt from life
Learnt from love
Now it's time
To spread my wings
On my own
To try new things
I'm a bad bitch
Know what I want
Learnt from life
Learnt from love
Now it's time
To spread my wings
On my own
I'm doing good on my own
I'm a bad bitch
Know what I want
Learnt from life
Learnt from love
Now it's time
To spread my wings
On my own
To try new things
Yeah

the calm before...

Things come together
And they fall apart
But nothing could break my heart
Days blur like watercolour
Thin wash on life
I just take one day at a time
I'm stuck in routines
But I don't mind
They're nothing special, and I'm fine
Spend nights with family
Spend days at my job
With them I'm content with not a lot
Oh
Oh
Watch as my life goes right
Watch as everything I built meets the light
Everyone with me tonight
Having everyone I care for unite
But people get old
People get sick
But we're strong, we'll get through it
More time spent with those
Who are in pain
Feels like life washed all the colour away
Bliss finally returns
A precious sight
Can finally sit back and enjoy my time
But fate is evil
It has no care
It's just a trouble to install fear
Watch as my life burns down
Watch as everything I built hits the ground
Everyone in for themselves
Losing everyone I cared about
About
About

Ripped from me
Say goodbye
Say goodbye
Ripped from me
Say goodbye
Say goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
Say goodbye
The earth has been uplifted
Underneath my feet
Losing my mind
Lost track of time
Swept up and thrown around
Crumbled to my knees
Losing my mind
Lost track of time
The earth has been uplifted
Underneath my feet
Losing my mind
Lost track of time
Swept up and thrown around
Crumbled to my knees
Losing my mind
Lost track of
Time isn't

the loss

Every now and then I think of you
Empty spaces when you left become whole again
Until I think of you
And that uncomfortable feeling washes over me quick again
Some days are better than others
And they appear more as time passes on
But I'll wake up one day with tears on my face
Flowing down from my eyes cause I dreamt of you
Again last night
If only time had been kind to us
Everyday I find myself more and more like you
All the things I love right now
I have realised they seem to be all the things that you loved too
I'll see someone in the streets
And from behind they kinda look like you
I'll continue my days, move on from the pain
But nothing will feel the same, empty space in your place
Remains
I see you in the coffee that I drink
I hear you when someone else starts to speak
I feel you when I'm lost in the cracks
I want you back but you'll never come back
I see you in the clouds that drift on by
I hear you in the low hum of city night
I feel you when I'm at an all time low or high
I want you back but you'll never come back to me
In this life
Life, life, life, life
This life
Life, life, life, life
You'll never come back to life

the peace

We all come together in the end
And I'm not scared to find
What awaits me at the end of this life
At the end of my time
I've been loved and given love
I've had hate, I've felt it all
There's nothing I regret at this point now
Cause when I look back it's all seems so small
My family is here, watching tv
Every now and then I see them look back at me
I give a warm smile, to try comfort them
When I look at the clock it's 20 past ten
In comfort I lay, on a soft cushioned bed
As memories flash by, just thoughts in my head
I've had my fair share and I'm ready to go
The time is right and the light ahead is so
