Alecks and Andy (Cobalt Cadence):

Alecks and Andy, sweet just like candy will make your love look secondary
‘Cause they jumped over the broom, they walk in the room
My heart just goes boom, Alecks and Andy - I wish I could be

Alecks and Andy, two hearts but with just one beat
Two lovers above it all - how hard did they fall? So sweet
Who ever knew in this world a love could be like Alecks and Andy...

Moss and mead, and a late-night read, and tarot and moonlight and dancin
Proposals at 7:27, just like heaven, am I breathin? Cause he's speakin
her language. She's down the aisle and I can't help but smile when I see

Alecks and Andy, two hearts but with just one beat
Two lovers above it all - how hard did they fall? So sweet
Who ever knew in this world a love could be like Alecks and Andy...

Around (IOPSA):

I have given all I have to give, and this life I’m living doesn’t feel worth it to live

‘Cause I’m tired, let me go now – I don’t want to be around

Autumn Nights (Letters to Myself):

One day a boy asked me this: what is it that you miss?

What is nostalgia? Well I'll tell ya

Afternoons and tuba tunes and simple lives and long drives

Hour talks and forest walks and autumn nights

A time I will never forget, back when the sun never set

Back when I knew you, now I see through you

Take me to that girl I knew who always liked her long drives

Open doors to book stores and autumn nights

The feeling to me will always be a melancholy symphony

It always reminds me of the love

Take me to that girl I knew who always liked her long drives

And open doors to book stores, and autumn nights

Afternoons and tuba tunes and simple lives and long drives

And things we really shouldn't be doing on autumn nights

Black Grass (IOPSA):

Sing me a lullaby before you go

Whisper those things that only we know

I'll run my fingers through black grass

Sienna plains are where questioned aren't asked

Enfolding black roses, winds blow us there

I will frolic through the black grass

Just so hypnotic, proof of my impasse

This can't last

The only life that grows here

Is poison to touch but so pleasant to fear

You bit my apple when I found your snake

If we weren't sinners this might just be fate

Enfolding black roses, winds blow us here

I will frolic through the black grass

Just so hypnotic, proof of my impasse

This can't last

Oh, how I won't sleep knowing you'll weep when I'm gone

How could it be wrong when it feels so sweet, yet so harsh?

Have you seen the marsh?

Bring me back to it, oh you're so fit

I will frolic through the black grass

Just so hypnotic, proof of my impasse

This can't last

Brown Eyes (Letters to Myself):

I have brown eyes just like you, so why can't I stand here beside you?

Familiar eyes see different lives, they're not the same

I'll never be your family, am I to blame? Maybe

Will you ever see through to me?

The way that I walk, the way that I talk ain't good enough for you

If the tone of my skin still won't let me in, what more can I do?

Year after year, you ask me "what are you made of?"

Still I hear "you ain't one of us

You ain't one of us, you oughta go til we know what you know"

I have brown eyes just like you, so why can't I stand here beside you?

Familiar eyes see different lives, they're not the same

I'll never be your family, am I to blame? Maybe

Will you ever see through to me?

If you could be so kind, I think I've lost my mind, just look at how they made us

Don't know what to do, I was born just like you, on the back of the bus

Well I cried and tried so hard to feel like I belong here

But each day I think I made my way til I inevitably here

You ain't one of us, you oughta go til we know what you know

I have brown eyes just like you, so why can't I stand here beside you?

Familiar eyes see different lives, they're not the same

I'll never be your family, am I to blame? Maybe

Will you ever see through to me?

Bumpin’ Into You:

I keep telling myself I don’t need you, but I don’t

But will I turn down a chance to see you? No I won’t

‘Cause every time I see you, I get dizzy in the head

A winding rollercoaster that I wish would never end

I know that I really really messed up, so I think it’s only fair I ‘fess up

I never stopped thinking about you, I know I never said Goodbye

I always seem to end up around you

I keep bumping into you, I keep bumping into you

Every time I think I’m through, you come right back into view

Same old places, it amazes me that you’re the one I see

But I know that you’ll never see me that way, white dress, picket fence, that way

I know I really seem confused, I didn’t wanna say bye bye

I always seem to end up around you

I keep bumping into you, I keep bumping into you

Every time I think I’m through, you come right back into view

Burden:

Hand me that cigarette, I haven't had one in years
Can't afford a single regret, a virus swallowed up my fears
Won't get up out my bed, there's nothing else better to do
Don't look so upset honey, because I'm depending on you, what do you expect me to do?

'Cause I'm done with changing, stuck with waiting here
I have become your burden for now, I'll stay if you'll allow me to keep on hurting

At least I still I still got my voice, but that's the next thing to go
You're leaving me with no other choice, guess I'm reaping what I sow
Can't remember what my dream was, so I'll just go back to sleep
Nothing’s ever what it seems 'cause you thought you'd be good for me
Just look at what you’re doing to me

I'm done with changing, stuck with waiting here
I have become your burden for now, I'll stay if you'll allow me to keep on hurting

Well I’ve been trying lately to hold on tight

Yes, I’ve been writing lately but I can’t get your song right

I’m all out, out of life

And I’m done with changing, stuck with waiting here

I have become your burden for now, I’ll stay if you allow me to keep on hurting

Cherry Blossom:

Oh, I wanna go to Tokyo, I wanna go…

I hate this town, it makes me wanna die

When we go out, my happiness is so fleeting

I can’t deny the way I feel things, but the fragrance takes me somewhere that I can’t believe

And I don’t wanna breathe no more

Oh, I wanna go to Tokyo, I wanna go and get my ch-ch-ch cherry blossom

I don’t normally go outside to find the petals are normally pinker on the other side

Oh, what a dream it’d be to have cherry blossom flowers for eyes

A botanical being, I wouldn’t need to see no more

Oh, I wanna go to Tokyo, I wanna go and get my ch-ch-ch cherry blossom

Eee-ya, I wanna see-yah, South Korea, I wanna see my ch-ch-ch cherry blossom

Oh, I wanna go to Toyko, I wanna go and get my ch-ch-ch chery blossom!

Crying Hour, The (IOPSA):

Take all of this moment

When your days are lonely

And you're feeling low

And, please, never let it go

Don't let it go

It may be the moment that

May never happen to you every day

Please, don't let it get away

And make it stay

Don't forget all our troubles and sorrows

This is the crying hour

Scare away all the happy tomorrows

This is the crying hour

Don't forget all our troubles and sorrows

This is the crying hour

Scare away all the happy tomorrows

This is the crying hour

It may be the moment that

During your life

It never happened before

And you want it back again

And more, and more

Take all of this moment

When your days are lonely

And you're feeling low

And, please, never let it go

Don't let it go

Don't forget all our troubles and sorrows

This is the crying hour

Scare away all the happy tomorrows

This is the crying hour

Don't forget all our troubles and sorrows

This is the crying hour

Scare away all the happy tomorrows

This is the crying hour

Flamingo (IOPSA):

Tall and pink, and not so lovely

If you're ever thinking of me I hope I didn't rub you the wrong way

When I walk it ain't like the tropics 'cause everyone around me says: stop it, you're blocking my sun and putting me in the shade

The best that you can do is call me tacky

If I were low like you, I'd probably attack me too

But I'd fly away, and that's too bad for you

If you think I won't succeed, you might be eating your words

I get whatever I need because I put me first

And when I fly away, you'll say: oh, where did she go?

Fuck you, I'm a flamingo

I'm blooming late, 'cause I've never ate

Well, some say I ain't pink enough but I still have my Flamboyance

My buoyancy is greater and you're lesser than me, I can't help that I'm the best you've ever seen

'Cause I bring all the boys to my yard when I'm sleeping, sleeping, sleeping on my one leg

I see you in my lagoon, you're creeping, creeping

But I'll fly away, I'm done with people pleasing

If you think I won't succeed, you might be eating your words

I get whatever I need because I put me first

And when I fly away, you'll say: oh, where did she go?

Fuck you, I'm a flamingo

I don't owe you one damn single thing

(Especially after all of the laughter, if you ever dissed me, you won't miss me)

Someday you will be a bell that won't ring

(Who are you?, I don't know her)

You're not pink

If you think I won't succeed, you might be eating your words

I get whatever I need because I put me first

And when I fly away, you'll say: oh, where did she go?

Fuck you, I'm a flamingo

I Don’t Know How to Love (Cobalt Cadence):

You, you, you took me by surprise
When you, you, you - with your kind eyes...
I didn't know what to do
When you, you, you took me in your arms, said: "I want you..."
Said: "I need you."

But I don't know how to love, but you fit me like a glove
So I'll try somehow to be yours right now, if you want

I've been loving wrong - won't you show me the way?
I've been lonely, lonely, lonely so long. What does it mean to stay?
You gave me hope, you made it clear that all I need is standing right here
But I digress, now I know how, I know what's next, and I'm ready now

But I don't know how to love, but you fit me like a glove
So I'll try somehow to be yours right now, if you want

And I know that I ain't been perfect always
And I know that we both gotta learn our own ways
But at least I know what I feel is real, but still...

But I don't know how to love, but you fit me like a glove
So I'll try somehow to be yours right now, if you want

I’m Not OK (IOPSA):

I’ve been feeling like I’m turning into something

You could never imagine, but maybe it’s always been inside

Guess I drank the poison, and I’ve got a confession:

I savored it ‘til the end, I just can’t hide it

Don’t cry for me, ‘cause I won’t for you

And I destroyed my being for the last time

And maybe that's why I haven't been feeling like myself lately

I’m killing myself every day

And I’m kidding myself, ‘cause I’m not okay

I’ve been drinking lots

I’ve been thinking thoughts you might consider selfish

I couldn’t give two shits about you

I’m through with drowning in my own existence

Nothing remains if I just fly the fuck away, for real

I’ve got a new revelation: I lie to feel

Don’t cry for me, ‘cause I won’t for you

And I destroyed my being for the last time

And maybe that's why I've been feeling more like myself lately

I’m killing myself every day

And I’m kidding myself, ‘cause I’m not okay

I feel it crawling through my skin

Oh it chills so real

It’s been gnawing at me

Finally, I gave in

‘Cause I’ve been not okay

I’m killing myself every day

And I’m kidding myself, ‘cause I’m not okay

Infatuated:

Take my heart and please don’t break it, never thought that we could make it work

but it always hurts

Everytime you’re near I cannot help but to revere the way you are but you’re so so far

In my little dreams we live a life you won’t believe but that’s not you and they won’t come true

No matter how I feel, we live a life that must stay real without fantasy – but you’re all I see

I feel hypnotized

Why do I get so infatuated with people like you

It makes it complicated to do the simplest things

And what the hell is wrong with me – its like I got a heart disease

‘Cause every time I fall with ease for you, or anyone else

Say it once because I need it, say it twice and I’ll believe its true that you really do

Need me in the way that I once thought was only play-fun now and then. Are we only friends?

Looking in your eyes I see the start of my demise, am I surprised? Hell no

I don’t know why I try because my heart is full of lies that you perpetuate and I’m just too late

I feel hypnotized

Why do I get so infatuated with people like you

It makes it complicated to do the simplest things

And what the hell is wrong with me – its like I got a heart disease

‘Cause every time I fall with ease for you, or anyone else

Lucid:

Quiet drone in my violet home, we can’t be alone

In the emptiness all around, but still its you I found, we’re floating way above the ground

You let me feel, you let me feel, you let me feel lucid

It hurts so good when I smile so hard, should I discard this heart?

‘Cause the bpm is not my friend, I long for the end now that I see what’s around the bend

You let me feel, you let me feel, you let me feel lucid

Flicker, flicker, flicker goes the amber flame, can’t recall my name, ‘you’re to blame’

I found a brand new way to get real high, I take you, we fly. There’s nothing to demystify

Moons:

Your eyes are like moons, and they pulled me into you
I tried to keep it cool but I fell for you too soon
We're a couple of fools - but I like it, yeah
Yeah I like it, yeah

Boy I'm like the ocean and you might just be my sky
Can't have one without the other if you try
Don't need nothing else, you're my natural high
Take me away

Turns out you might have your own gravitational force
Pulled me like the tide, leave me wanting more
Love ain't never made so much sense before
What can I say?

You send me to space, why should we wait?

Your eyes are like moons, and they pulled me into you
I tried to keep it cool but I fell for you too soon
We're a couple of fools - but I like it, yeah
Yeah I like it, yeah*

I'm like Mr. Musk
I just want exploration
I don't give a fuck bout what's good for my nation
All I want is you - it don't need explanation
I'll send you my satellite

I'd jump on a rocket
just to get to you
Yeah, you way up there, I got some climbin' to do
We on different levels, but a moon is a moon - and we both shinin' bright

You send me to space, why should we wait?

Your eyes are like moons, and they pulled me into you
I tried to keep it cool but I fell for you too soon
We're a couple of fools - but I like it

Playing Pretend (IOPSA)

I’m so over being done with you, can’t pretend I ain’t in love with you anymore, anymore

You didn’t have a door, so I walked in the ones before

Just too dark to see, could I have known that you wanted more?

Lay your eyes on me, could I be the one you’re longing for?

Little did you know, you’re the one that I adored

I’m so over being done with you, can’t pretend I ain’t in love with you anymore

Why can’t I make a move? What the hell are you waiting for

Wish I could give you more, why can’t you kiss me like before?

This will never end if we keep playing pretend

Kiss me through the floor, wrap yourself around me

Do what you do, just don’t let them see

Lay your hands on me, I should be the one you’re longing for

Tell me what you want and you’ll never need another

I’m so over being done with you, can’t pretend I ain’t in love with you anymore

Why can’t I make a move? What the hell are you waiting for

Wish I could give you more, why can’t you kiss me like before?

This will never end if we keep playing pretend

I can’t really say it, that I’m very into you

I don’t think your mother and boyfriend will approve

We both know that our love was on another level

I can’t help but revel within you

Are we really just friends?

I’m so over being done with you, can’t pretend I ain’t in love with you anymore

Why can’t I make a move? What the hell are you waiting for

Wish I could give you more, why can’t you kiss me like before?

This will never end if we keep playing pretend

I can’t say that I’m into you

I can’t say that I’m dying

No, I can’ keep on playing pretend

Rather be in the Clouds (Letters to Myself):

Guess I'll go to work and pretend it doesn't hurt

Car won't seem to start, I guess I'll have to walk again, here we go again

Try to do my job and you spit at me your thoughts

Know it ain't my fault, you're tearing me apart my friend, are you my friend 'cause I...

I'd rather be in the clouds 'cause there ain't no way out

Grab a plane and fly away, save the pain for another day

I'd rather be in the clouds, so far away from you now

Think my time is over here, another day I'll disappear

Making my way home and my mind is free to roam

Look here comes the sun I guess my day is done for now, and I'll do it again somehow

Sleep my life away as the night turns into day

Should I stay awake or continue on to make this world my little lonely world

I'd rather be in the clouds 'cause there ain't no way out

Grab a plane and fly away, save the pain for another day

I'd rather be in the clouds, so far away from you now

Think my time is over here, another day I'll disappear

And I wouldn't dare come down, 'cause there's no rain above the clouds

No more seeking shelter underneath your shroud, 'cause I...

I'd rather be in the clouds 'cause there ain't no way out

Grab a plane and fly away, save the pain for another day

I'd rather be in the clouds, so far away from you now

Think my time is over here, another day I'll disappear

Reflections (IOPSA):

I look through my window, and all I see
A girl who's always dreamin, that’s all she needs
Why does she look at me so? I know, its my nose
I can't see past it, blast it

Before you know, you'll dream your life away
And I never wanna hear you say

Go, waste the day, you’ll melt away into your song

But I see my reflection

I look into my mirror, I see horizons
What could I have been if I had won?
Glass is shattering to the ground
I'll be lucky if I'm found
My castles falling apart, my dreams will never be art
Before I melt away, I know that you're gonna say

Go, waste the day dreaming away while we’re still young

But I see my reflection

This life is over with, next time I'll be real big
I don’t like being small 'cause there's no sound when I fall

This life is over with, next time I'll be real big
I don’t like being small 'cause there's no sound when I fall

Now go, waste the day, you’ll melt away into your song

But I see my, I see my, I see my reflection

Subjective Feeling (IOPSA):

I could right/write my wrongs all by myself – when?

Any time I want without your help – how?

How’d you think I’ve gotten this far without you?

Who do you think you are?

Love, love is a subjective kind of feeling

So, don’t you tell me how I should be feeling about myself

And Oh, your positivity is suffocating

What I feel is real and always changing, and I don’t need your help

I’m the one who’s always got a tone- what?

Those who sing, we all end up alone – why?

Every time I fall, I think I’m flying

Who do you think I am?

Love, love is a subjective kind of feeling

So, don’t you tell me how I should be feeling about myself

And Oh, your positivity is suffocating

What I feel is real and always changing, and I don’t need your help

I don’t need to understand, I don’t need to hold your hand, don’t really give a damn

I don’t need to understand you, don’t need to hold your hand, I don’t really give a damn

Sunshine and Rainbows: (IOPSA)

Sunshine and rainbows don’t mean the storm ain’t coming back

Gentle waves won’t save you from a shark attack, darling

Say you’re sorry one more time, I don’t wanna hear it, ‘cause you don’t mean it

Think your flowers brought my sunshine? It was never mine, you’ve never seen it

And by all means, babe, you better go and pretend that everything is fine but…

Sunshine and rainbows don’t mean the storm ain’t coming back

Gentle waves won’t save you from a shark attack, darling

Why don’t you fall from your chair again?

You’ve got dirt on your hands, and the bottle is at its end

It don’t matter how many coladas I drink down, ‘cause I’ve found I’m on the brink now

My little sad clown, you better go and pretend that everything is fine but…

Sunshine and rainbows don’t mean the storm ain’t coming back

Gentle waves won’t save you from a shark attack, darling

I know you’ll love me when I’m no longer young and beautiful

But your kind of love bounds me and makes my days centennial

Sunshine and rainbows don’t mean the storm ain’t coming back

Gentle waves won’t save you from a shark attack, darling

With Me (Letters to Myself):

I've been staring at my reflection for so long I can't remember

The words to the song that she used to sing or if I really knew her

Now I know she's gone away and took my joy and verve, some days I'm bumpin into her

But every time I ask her why, why don't you stay with me?

Why don't you don't you stay awhile because you make me smile

And you give me such happiness when you are with me child, yeah you

Why don't you don't you stay awhile because you make me smile

And you give me such happiness when you are with me child,

When you're with me, with me, with me child...

Now my days are lonely gray, the only light has gone with the girl

But in this world her rose-colored shades don't seem to do it anymore

Never like before, so naive, ready for the game, and I know it will never be the same

But now and then, just like lighting she goes and strikes again

Why don't you don't you stay awhile because you make me smile

And you give me such happiness when you are with me child, yeah you

Why don't you don't you stay awhile because you make me smile

And you give me such happiness when you are with me child,

When you're with me, with me, with me child...

Waiting (Cobalt Cadence):

Waiting for you, I keep waiting for you every night, why do I? I keep
thinking of you, I'm losing sleep
Are you thinking of me? Is it that hard to be where you are? If you are still with me
Could it be true that you found someone new?

Cause it's you that I want, and nobody else
I can't do this alone, no, not by myself
I'm a fool, yes I know, and I need your help
I need you by my side, you know I don't like to cry
