Once upon a time We were all told stories Of princes and princesses In all of their glories But the tales we’re told Of good overcoming evil Were so out of date They’re practically medieval With knights in shinning armour And young girls locked in a tower True loves unconsensual kiss It’s so gross I need a shower. Disney promised me He’d be my Prince Charming But I got a little nervous And drank something calming But this potion is too strong It’s a bit alarming And in the blink of an eye It’s the next morning I’m still just waiting For my Prince Charming. I was told it would be special I was told it would be fun But when it was all over I didn’t even come No horse drawn carriage Came to take me home I had to walk the streets All on my very own And in the hour just before dawn Having lost more than my shoe He wasn’t my Prince Charming That’s about all I knew. Disney promised me He’d be my Prince Charming But I got a little nervous And drank something calming But this potion is too strong It’s a bit alarming And in the blink of an eye It’s the next morning I’m still just waiting For my Prince Charming. Gone are the days Of balls and dances Now you’ll get lucky With just second glances But when the magic runs out And his crown is gone I can see clearly A new villain is born Because all the kings horses And all the kings men Couldn’t put me Back together again. Disney promised me He’d be my Prince Charming But I got a little nervous And drank something calming But this potion is too strong It’s a bit alarming And in the blink of an eye It’s the next morning So I’m done waiting For my Prince Charming.

Skipping Paradise
Verse
The year twenty twenty’s gone so fast
And hasn’t it been just such a blast
It’s not like there’s this enormous death toll
Those lives meant nothing to that awful troll
And we’ve all gain a bit of a quarantine belly
From sitting all day in front of the telly
Now we’re all just waiting for New Year’s Day
Like that’s gonna change the world in any way
Chorus
So we’ll be skipping paradise this year
Now let’s all get up and dance and cheer
Who needs to be sipping cocktails on sandy beaches
When you could be on the couch with political speeches
Or get dressed to go out and leave your room
If you could binge on Netflix like you always do
So we’ll be giving up the sun til there’s a vaccination
Hopefully then we’ll be able to go on vacation
Verse
There’s no more travelling to exciting new places
You can meet new people but only half their faces
Oh my gosh you can finally get laid
Just think of all the money you’d save
But if sarcasms not your way of life
Then leave this place turn out the light
Because if all you assholes could see me now
You’d probably go blind somehow
Chorus
So we’ll be skipping paradise this year
Now let’s all get up and dance and cheer
Who needs to be sipping cocktails on sandy beaches
When you could be on the couch with political speeches
Or get dressed to go out and leave your room
If you could binge on Netflix like you always do
So we’ll be giving up the sun til there’s a vaccination
Hopefully then we’ll be able to go on vacation
Bridge
This is the year
To let yourself go
Your bikini doesn’t fit
And you ran outta dough
But it’s ok
You know
To just be happy
You didn’t do blow
Or if you did do it
Who am I to judge, so
Chorus
We’ll be skipping paradise this year
Now let’s all get up and dance and cheer
Who needs to be sipping cocktails on sandy beaches
When you could be on the couch with political speeches
Or get dressed to go out and leave your room
If you could binge on Netflix like you always do
So we’ll be giving up the sun til there’s a vaccination
Hopefully then we’ll be able to go on vacation
Drama Queen
Verse
I know sometimes that you feel down
Did you try a jog around town
Maybe if you ever left of your room
Everything wouldn’t be so doom and gloom
And if you drank more water you’d feel better
Then you could be a real go getter
No one believes you’d rather be dead
We know this feeling is all in your head
Chorus
Hey little girl why so blue
Everyone has it worse than you
So be quiet and don’t complain
This thing you’re feeling it’s not the same
If you gonna put yourself out there
For the entire world to stare
Then you could find yourself in a meme
Because no one likes a drama queen
Verse
So he slipped you a supplement
Learn to take a compliment
He likes the way you dress
You should’ve just said yes
I doubt he had to use any force
Maybe you’ve just got buyers remorse
You can’t be too dizzy to get out of bed
Because you know this feeling is all in your head
Chorus
Hey little girl why so blue
Everyone has it worse than you
So be quiet and don’t complain
This thing you’re feeling it’s not the same
If you gonna put yourself out there
For the entire world to stare
Then you could find yourself in a meme
Because no one likes a drama queen
Bridge
Oh no
Everyone’s so mean
He wouldn’t let me scream
Life’s not a dream
Don’t be a drama queen
So you were a lonely teen
And he ripped off your jeans
Life’s not a dream
Don’t be a drama queen
Chorus
Hey little girl why so blue
Everyone has it worse than you
So be quiet and don’t complain
This thing you’re feeling it’s not the same
If you’re gonna put yourself out there
For the entire world to stare
Then you could find yourself in a meme
Because no one likes a drama queen
Fantasy
Verse
The fairytales in my head
Have me running back to bed
Can’t wait to see my dreams come true
Even if you never knew
The house, the job, the family
Beats this real life insanity
And with all the shit we have to face
I’d rather go to my happy place
Chorus
If this is the way the wind blows
There won’t be no rhapsody
But the story just flows
Now I’m stuck in this fantasy
Compared to 2020
It’s like taking ecstasy
And I’ll be dreaming plenty
Skipping out on reality
It’s a tragedy
I’ll stick with my fantasy
Verse
From the moment I step outside
I wish to run and hide
And when I get home
I can’t wait to feel alone
Ready for the next chapter
And that feeling I can capture
It’s better this way
I’m in my happy place
Chorus
If this is the way the wind blows
There won’t be no rhapsody
But the story just flows
Now I’m stuck in this fantasy
Compared to 2020
It’s like taking ecstasy
And I’ll be dreaming plenty
Skipping out on reality
It’s a tragedy
I’ll stick with my fantasy
Bridge
People say
I’ve got my head in the clouds
But I won’t come down
The future that I dreamed
Is everything I want now
I’ve got my head in the clouds
But you won’t drag me down
Everything I dreamed
Is all I want now
Chorus
If this is the way the wind blows
There won’t be no rhapsody
But the story just flows
Now I’m stuck in this fantasy
Compared to 2020
It’s like taking ecstasy
And I’ll be dreaming plenty
Skipping out on reality
It’s a tragedy
I’ll stick with my fantasy
Sunflower
Verse
Tapping to the beat in my head
Thinking today I’ll get out of bed
But with nothing to do nowhere to go
I guess excitements at an all time low
So I’ll even take a zombie hoard
Cos’ I’ve reached a whole new level of bored
My constant resting heart rate
Says that I need an escape
Chorus
Running to the sunrise
Dancing to the rain
Singing in the ocean
Sunlight in my veins
Wishing on a sunflower
To always find the summer
Even on the darkest days
I’ll chase the thunder
Verse
I wake surrounded by metal bars
If only I could reach the stars
But the walls are closing in
I’m so tired of everything
Just one horror story after the next
I think my nightmares might be hexed
Cos’ I’ve been caged up all day
Dreaming I could get away
Chorus
Running to the sunrise
Dancing to the rain
Singing in the ocean
Sunlight in my veins
Wishing on a sunflower
To always find the summer
Even on the darkest days
I’ll chase the thunder
Bridge
Staring out my window
The whole years passing by
I scream into my pillow
Wishing I could fly
The sand is calling
And Summers on her way
But life is stalling
Can’t we come out to play
Chorus
Running to the sunrise
Dancing to the rain
Singing in the ocean
Sunlight in my veins
Wishing on a sunflower
To always find the summer
Even on the darkest days
I will chase the thunder
Echo
Verse
My vocal chords are raw
I don’t talk much no more
It never did any good
But then I understood
We’re all alone in the dark
Until we find our spark
The one to answer our call
That void, the silence
They could end it all
Chorus
You brought me back
Back from the dark place
Your voice is all I hear
It takes up all the space
The silence is gone
And you made it so
I’m not alone in the empty
You are my echo
Verse
The void is never ending
Just slowly time bending
Til there’s nothing all around
And nothing makes a sound
But if someone could call out
If they could scream and shout
I would hold them tight
Then the dark, the empty
Would shine bright
Chorus
You brought me back
Back from the dark place
Your voice is all I hear
It takes up all the space
The silence is gone
And you made it so
I’m not alone in the empty
You are my echo
Bridge
Is anybody out there
Can anybody hear me
My voice screams back
As I shout into the empty
Is there anybody out there
I need you to scream
So I’m no longer alone
I can escape the empty
Chorus
You brought me back
Back from the dark place
Your voice is all I hear
It takes up all the space
The silence is gone
And you made it so
I’m not alone in the empty
You’re my echo
Can We Go Back
Verse
If I had known this is how it would end
I want you to know I’d do it all again
Every little moment we had
Memories that’ll make me sad
The dimple in your smile
That sparkle in your eyes
Just know even if this is it
You were worth it
Chorus
If this is the end
Can we just go back
To where we began
Can we just do that
Before all the fights
We were more than that
More than the lies
Can we go back
Verse
Those lazy sundays turned angry
Our fights that could break me
There’s so much more I wish I could say
If only it’d make you stay
Then the yelling got louder
And I knew it was over
But if I could slow down time
I’d never end this fight
Chorus
If this is the end
Can we just go back
To where we began
Can we just do that
Before all the fights
We were more than that
More than the lies
Can we go back
Bridge
If there’s no more us
Am I even still me
Will I fade into dust
Will I even be seen
Without the other half
How will I be whole
I miss your laugh
Like a piece of my soul
Chorus
If this is the end
Can we just go back
To where we began
Can we just do that
Before all the fights
We were more than that
More than the lies
Can we go back
If I had known this is how it would end
I’d do it all again
I Choose Life
Verse
If you could live one more day
What would it take you to stay
There’s more to life than getting out of bed
Take a look around get out of your head
You can’t just live til the end of the week
Then hit pause rewind and repeat
You can’t give up can give in
You gotta start living
Chorus
If there’s any hope
For a better day
If you can’t cope
Find a way
Your dreams can’t come true
If death comes for you
So choose to fight
I choose life
Verse
If you’re only wishing on a star
You won’t get very far
Your path isn’t fated
All good things to those who waited
The only way to get where you going
Is to believe without ever knowing
The happiest I’ve ever been
Came to me in a dream
Chorus
If there’s any hope
For a better day
If you can’t cope
Find a way
Your dreams can’t come true
If death comes for you
So choose to fight
I choose life
Bridge
If death comes a calling
Do you think you could stall him
This life is worth fighting for
What are you dying for
Chorus
If there’s any hope
For a better day
If you can’t cope
Find a way
Your dreams can’t come true
If death comes for you
So choose to fight
I choose life
If you could live one more day
What would it take for you to stay
Remember To Breathe
Verse
I’ve got the devil riding shotgun
Imaginary friends aren’t so fun
It’s a crowded house up in here
With all the demons you should fear.
Take your bets on what’ll break me first
But I know I’ll make it through the worst
Because I’m stronger than I even know
And stubborn as all hell, so
Chorus
Remember to breathe
When you’re barely holding on
Remember to breathe
When everything goes wrong
Remember to breathe
Even when it’s all you’ve got
Even when you wish you’d stop
Remember to breathe
Verse
You get those voices in their cages
They can stay that way for ages
It’s all quiet til one breaks loose
Then they’ll be reaching for the noose
But you’ve got to get up stand your ground
Don’t let those demons hold you down
If there’s one thing that you should know
You’re strong enough too, so
Chorus
Remember to breathe
When you’re barely holding on
Remember to breathe
When everything goes wrong
Remember to breathe
Even when it’s all you’ve got
Even when you wish you’d stop
Remember to breathe
Bridge
In and out
It’s all you gotta do
One foot in front of the other
One day after another
In and out
Its all you really need
Let it bring you back to life
Let it aid you through the night
In and out
Remember
Chorus
Remember to breathe
When you’re barely holding on
Remember to breathe
When everything goes wrong
Remember to breathe
Even when it’s all you’ve got
Even when you wish you’d stop
Remember
breathes
That Moment
The club is so hot I’m sweating through my dress
And the musics too loud it’s beating in my chest
Singing and swaying to the songs that we hear
Nothing else matters as we cheer
Then the lights come on and closing time starts to play
I always knew tonight was going to end this way
In the Uber ride home my head starts to clear
That moment has come that moment I fear
And as soon as I’m through the front door
I am all alone once more
And no matter how happy I think I am
It all comes crashing down again
There’s no more audience no need for a show
Only the bad thoughts that no one can know
Champagne on ice dressed to the nines
The rounds keep coming all night
And as we pub crawl down the street
We wake people from their sleep
Singing and dancing and slurring our words
Ours the only voices that can be heard
But then someone decides to call it a night
And I feel the silence reach out and grip me tight
As soon as I’m through the front door
I am all alone once more
And no matter how happy I think I am
It all comes crashing down again
There’s no more audience no need for a show
Only the bad thoughts that no one can know
My walls are down I am defenceless
That voice so loud leaving me senseless
You’re all alone because they all hate you
You cannot be loved no one will date you
Sooner or later the voice is gone
It fades away at the brink of dawn
But the scars made can’t be fixed with a smile
It just holds it at bay for a little while
As soon as I’m through the front door
I am all alone once more
No matter how happy I think I am
It all comes crashing down again
There’s no more audience no need for a show
Only those thoughts that no one can know
