RHAPSODY

heaven sent

I've been the girl with a song 
been her for so long
they say i've been strong 
maybe they're right and I'm wrong, I've been
counting my blessings, counting to ten, but I 
still know I'll never see you again 
here on earth 
what is it worth, 
falling in love, fearing the worst 
watch it burst into flame, 
some kinda game 
I don't wanna play 
I scream into darkness and whisper your name 
Everything will be all right 
Tall tale I told in the middle of the night 
Everything will be okay 
how did I know I'd lose you one day? you might say, 
there's no fate worse than death 
but is death worse than fate 
if my destiny's set to kill off all my mates I don't 
wanna think about it, 
don't wanna think 
let's rewind to the start of the story, 
now pour me a drink 

 

Now we've come to my favorite part 
where I perfect loving you down to an art 
If you and i don't believe in fate 
I don't think we'll disintegrate 

well, maybe it's too late 

Now, this is the stuff of which nightmares are made 
I was angry, got ripped off, I was played by some 
malevolent sky daddy choosing my fate 
based on what? was it karma? kismet? hate? 
I thought I was good, guess I misunderstood 
shoulda prayed to some god, shoulda knocked on some wood 
just started running fast as I could to get away from where love had once lived 
I thought I was done. Said never again, 
but i tripped and I fell in love with this man and I 
knew it was right, he was heaven sent 
in every meaning those words could have meant 
That's when I saw it, all shrouded and dark, 
wearing a cloak, making a mark 
It's too soon, too soon 
Don't you take him from me 
Just let me love him. Just let us be. 
 

Now we've come to my favorite part 
where I perfect loving you down to an art 
If you and I don't believe in fate 
Maybe we can sneak past the gate 
baby just, baby just, baby just, baby just wait 
 

If I find out this life has no meaning 
I swear I will forfeit this hand 
Why we are playing this game with no rules, I don't understand 
If I find out we're dreaming 
Oh man, this is going to be fun 
I'll strut outta here with a smile, guns ablaze, and 
proclaim that the west has been won 

Now we've come to my favorite part 
where I perfect loving you down to an art 
If you and I don't believe in fate 
we don't have to participate 

Now we've come to my favorite part 
where I perfect loving you down to an art 
If you and I don't believe in fate 
will the jury now deliberate 

(I'm gonna love you for so long I'm gonna love you forever)

 

little red no more

dial tone on the phone, 
I was lying awake, 
I was left alone but so complete 
I had the end in my pocket with my heart when I dropped it 
Didn't care, wasn't anything to me 
Things weren't going very well
 I admit I set it up to fail 
DIdn't know how lonely it would feel to give up on everything 

ooh, look into my eyes and 
tell me what you don't see 
ooh, look up at the stars and tell me what could be, 
tell me what could be 
nothin' that i haven't said 
guess I'll wait forever then 
nothin' that I haven't said 
guess I'll wait forever then 

Now I feel a little shyer, igniting my desire 
lighting the fire in my voice 
Suddenly I'm bare, and I didn't wanna care, but I 
don't think I have a choice at this point, 
love is stupid, but I don't mind 
feeling stupid one more time 
think I've lost my god damn mind 
I don't even know what's right 

ooh, look into my eyes and tell me what you don't see 
ooh, look into the cards and tell me what could be, tell me what could be, 
something that I haven't said 
guess I'll wait for evidence 
something that I haven't said 
guess I'll wait for evidence 
wait 
tell me what you don't see 

maybe it's a dare, maybe it's the truth, or (truth or dare) 
I'm not aware what it's meant to be (meant to be) 
not even scared of the big bad wolf, 'cause (big bad wolf) 
I'm not a girl with a cape, you see (little red no more) 
what do you see (little red no more, little red no more) 
ooh, look into my eyes and tell me what you don't see

stars

some light will escape
no matter what you do to hide your grace
tonight, stars hang out
they ask each other, what's this all about
why do they hide
why do they hide

some light will escape
no matter what you do to hide your grace
tonight, stars hang out
they ask each other, what's this all about
why do they hide
why do they hide

some light will escape
no matter what you do to hide your grace

oh, I got a feeling (feeling)
know exactly what to do (do o o o)
sometimes, sometimes I get a feeling 
and I gotta know the truth
(know the whole truth)
sometimes you need a reason (reason)
a little something to believe (believe)
sometimes (sometimes) sometimes, you gotta make your mark
you gotta plant your seed
seed x4

some light will escape 
no matter what you do to hide your grace

some light will escape 
no matter what you do to hide your grace
tonight, stars hang out
they ask each other what's this all about
why do they hide
why do they hide

ooooooohhhhhh

stars hang out
x9

frequency

I was drawn to the sound
of your beating heart in the lost & found
so I took you home with me
And the rhythm that I heard, it played
along with the rhythm that my heart made
that's when I knew i wasn't out here just getting laid

Why do some people gotta be so ugly
Is it because they've never known love?
Why do they think they gotta take it from me
to have it for themselves?

I will not apologize 
for who I am or how I live my life
and I won't let a creature of the night take liberties
I will not explain myself
display my so called 'love and light' on the shelf
Who I am is what you see
hey, what's that you say?
got a problem with me?
say it to my face

I was a little drunk when I fell down a rabbit hole under that spell
yeah, the one that you put on me
and the part of me that knew that song, you know the one, she sang along
some say it's magic, I like to call it harmony

These people want to think less of me
They think love is a heart shaped jewel encrusted crown
I watch them teeter and totter up above me
until it all comes crashing down

I will not apologize
for who I am or how I live my life
and I will almost always do what's right
but silently
and I will not explain myself
display my so-called 'love and light' on the shelf
Who I am is what you see
hey, what's that you play?
it's out of tune, see?
get out of my face

(face, yeah, get out of my face,
some say it's magic, some say)

and I will not apologize 
for who I am or how I live my life
I shouldn't have to fight you for the right to just be me
I will not explain myself
display my so-called 'love and light' on the shelf
try to live in harmony

say it to my face

 

 

 

worth

I once was a shadow in the back of my own mind
I wished on this one star every night
Sometimes a blessing is a curse, and a curse is a dream
something about nothing is just what it seems
I tripped and fell hard oh one too many times
feet scarred from the shattered debris of my fight
I stopped moving in the dead of night.
There was nothing to do but hide
then the last fall cracked me open, and I saw light
I opened the door, and it got so bright

Hold on a second please,
I don't know if I should
Don't know what's going on here, 
but I feel good
Hold on a second please,
I don't know if I should
Don't know what's going on here, 
but I sure feel good

The fears the years have chained to my feet have come alive
They're in my face, begging me to stay here
Apathetic lies
I met an angel of sorts, she said 'you'll come around'
I asked for her help, she said
'put on this crown, and
stand up straighter, you can worry later,
this light that you are, can't you anticipate her?
The nothing that you feel will be something far more real when you're done. 
Don't you understand, it's you who's the one?
Come on girl, come on girl, come on,
just run...'

Hold on a second please,
I don't know if I should
Don't know what's going on here, 
but I feel good
Hold on a second please,
I don't know if I should
Don't know what's going on here, 
but I sure feel good

I will not give my love
To anything less than I'm worth
any longer

I'll be wiser now
the only love I will allow
is that which makes me sing
this I will give everything

love notes

(jimi)
some things are worth more than money
like my friendship with you
like our friendship
I'm sorry, man

Something is bothering me
deep inside, I'm holding it back
(both)
I'm not (I'm not) anymore
I am not going to die

First, let's just get out of the way
You do not get to say
the amount my uncle Billy 
loved me
so let's just see who's standing by the end of this
fucking impossibly complete departed
tragedy of the life
you and me decided to be mutually part of
we don't get to be the victim
and the wrath of
what's coming 
for you and me
never see every memory
never be everything I ever sold
to believe and to hold 
to my soul
it just gets old
I'm an addict at this moment
and I can't sit through my shit cuz it's frozen
(stasia)
love is never lost
only changes form
love comes at a cost
leaving you to mourn
(jimi)
every memory whole
I've been sold I've been told
before
your lies
having dinner
with the devil at the table
broken
(both)
if you are selling death you
can't pretend to care
about my life
(jimi)
if you're selling death 
don't pretend to give a shit about me you prick
now my brother is dead
he's dead
he's dead
(stasia)
love is never lost 
only changes form
love comes at a cost 
leaving you to mourn
(jimi)
your lies
if you are selling death you
(both)
can't pretend 
(jimi)
if you are selling death you can't pretend to care
about my life
dead
if you are selling death 
(both)
you can't pretend
you can't pretend
can't pretend
can't pretend
(stasia)
love is never lost
we can hear you still
and forget you
we never will
we never will
we never will

revolution before sundown

how do I
hang a sign
that says no vacancy across my heart
and expect to love anyone

how do I
make believe
that I could start a revolution before sundown

how long, how long
have I been gone
all my armor has rusted off

how am I still alive 
when I am just a little light
how can I throw the last punch
when I have lost my fight

how long, how long
have I been gone
all my armor has rusted off

I knew I would
be more than all right
I knew I could fly

how do I
even know
that I'm not lying
how do I
even know
that I am trying

how long, how long
have I been gone
all my armor has rusted off

how do I 
make believe
that I could start a revolution
before sundown

said the lion

I know you don't mean to hurt me, hurt me
I know it's not by design
I know your wild and wily ways, my darling
but I know that you're all mine

ooh, you're driving me crazy
just wanna hold you, baby
give you all I got, and you want more
why do you try to play me
can't resist you, baby
just wanna hear you purr, 
you always roar

I tried to call you, but
you never came
after loving you I will never be the same

ooh, you're driving me crazy
just wanna hold you, baby
give you all I got, and you want more
why do you try to play me
can't resist you, baby
just wanna hear you purr, 
you always roar

I know you're hungry, baby
I know it well
I shouldn't feed you, but I'm
under your spell

if you're gonna love her (better make her believe)

she sat on your bed
it was six in the morning
your eyes caught hers in the light
her heart had arrived, though
it came with a warning
she would shut that alarm off tonight

she had the fuel, and the match, but you see, oh
she didn't start this fire
it's all you now,
you gotta know how to wrangle her wildest desire

If you're gonna love her
better make her believe 
that your heart is her oyster
and her world's on your sleeve

she knew
it was time
for the dark to be dawning
she could feel
the divine come alive
it crept 
up her spine
it released her from mourning
it begged her to let you inside

you stole her heart, played the part, but you see, oh
she's a bird on a wire
gotta know now, how you gonna
keep her wild and inspired?

if you're gonna love her
better make her believe
that your heart is her oyster
and her world's on your sleeve

if you know the story
she's been more than lonely
can you
offer more than she's ever had
in all your
honor and glory

 

 

the one that got away

I was so sure of what I felt now
I let you go, and let it be
I walked away softly to the tune of
somebody else's symphony

and you love me now
oh, you love me now
oh, you love me now
you love me, now

hold on, hold on
to anything but me
hold on, hold on
to anything but me

You were always the one that got away, love
you were the storm that never ceased.
Now that I'm wearing someone else's raincoat
you try and tear it off of me

and you love me now
Oh, you love me now
Oh, you love me now?
Oh, please don't love me now

hold on, hold on
to anything but me
hold on, hold on
to anything but me

...can you love me now
oh, can you love me now?
ohhh, can you love me now
oh, love me now....

don't hold on
to anything but me
don't hold on
to anything but me
don't hold on
to anything
but
me

the game

if you listen to the words that I'm saying
you would know it's not dragons I'm slaying
and if you think for a moment I'm playing
you might be right
was I a main character in a past life
so I suffer now? or maybe the past is a lie
and the future is now
and we're all gonna die

if I'm off track, then I'll get back
pick up all the jenga, plus your slack,
I don't talk smack, and I really don't think that you should.
does anyone care about anything anymore,
oh look, it's a closed door.
I can already tell who's behind it is up to no good

Guess what, baby
it's only a quarter to three
I can be a rock star, maybe, by four, baby
not a mid life crisis, it's a life sized fantasy

well, the rhythm I've been given is something I've been livin' for a while and denial is not a river, I deliver pure unadulterated truth 'cause I want you to do the same, turns out this game is won with lies, 
are you surprised? 
I just want to know why 
'Turns out I'm insatiable, turns out I'm a misfit'
she said with a grin and a mouthful of sin, 
staring straight into your face

Have you ever played this game?
Never have I ever is not its name
I don't really understand
but I keep on playin' just the same

Never had to level with a broken line
crafted a narrative out of thin air tryna twist the scene,
painted a portrait of a villain that don't exist in my routine.
You planted a poison in the garden hoping to watch us fall
whispering shadows in the dark, trying to own the hall
The script you flipped is fiction, 
but it's signed with your design
tryna sever sacred bonds that held your envy in line
But the truth has got a heavy hold, the frequency so clear
I see the pattern of your cowardice and it's
fading out the fear

ignorance
let's make this a reality
I can try to ignore what I'm here for,
maybe they're right, it's the only blissful way to be
(you need to be real)

Well I don't think it's by accident
that I happen to be passionate and full of it
you see, this tinfoil hat, it fits perfect
well, I'm flattered like the Mad Hatter birthed it
If the wave is sick, I'll surf it
If the shoe fits, I deserve it
Ain't no Cinderella complex, won't accept your vexed hex
but I'll take AmEx 'cause I'm worth it

Have you ever played this game
Never have I ever is not its name
I don't really give a damn
(I don't really understand)
But I keep on playing just the same
keep on playing, keep on playing just the same
keep on playing

mmmhmm
it's not a mid life crisis it's a 
bite sized reality

monster

she
alone in a midnight room
learns to fake out impending doom
introduces the rug to the broom
you
a man who will do what's right
even blind in the dark of a sinful night
you only started the fight
between yourself and the light
see your face lit 
up like the morning sun
love can paint you, but
you are already the golden one

you say she's your weakness
and you say that you want this more
than picking up pieces of you off the floor
you say that you want her
but you've created a monster
you must know, you can't ask it to go,
you must slay it or reap what you sow

in this trance, nothing is clear
she will watch as you disappear
she will wish, but the genie won't hear
you're everything that you were meant to be
something that everyone but you can see
sometimes it is hard to believe

you say she's your weakness
and you say that you want this more
than picking up pieces of you off the floor
you say that you want her
but you've created a monster
you must know, you can't ask it to go,
you must slay it or reap what you sow

in your eyes
it's your horizon
there's no place to hide
(why would you want to)

it's no surprise
when you pick your poison
there's no prize inside
(we all die some time)

you say she's your weakness
and you say that you want this more
than picking up pieces of you off the floor
you say that you want her
but you've created a monster
you must know, you can't ask it to go,
you must slay it or reap what you sow

it's in your eyes
it's your horizon
there's your sign of life

epiphany (revelation remix)

I would offer you a little piece of me
but I don't think you'd like the flavor too much, see
I would fall for you if you weren't such a freak
But I've had way too many damn epiphanies

Everything I add to you blows up at me
But I was never very good at chemistry
All I seem to do is find anomalies
But that's a different story

Crawled around the surface like a centipede
Tried to crawl inside, but it was hard to breathe
You said things were blue when they were clearly green
(you said things were through)
then you fled the scene

I could, I should
turn the other way
DIdn't I have some epiphany?
(what is left to, what is left to say?)

I would offer you a little piece of me
But I don't think you'd like the flavor too much, see
I would fall for you if you weren't such a freak
But I've had way too many damn epiphanies
I've had way too many

last embrace

love lies awake at night
praying for better days
love sings songs about the fight
love kneels down in praise

love is sitting by our side
holding gentle space
love is why we take this ride
to our last embrace

love can glisten in the night
in teardrops down your face
love will show you to the light
when the time arrives with grace
(when you arrive on/in time, with grace)
