I RULE THE WORLD

Losing my mind, I’m losing my way
I’ve lost my direction, and I’m starting to break
Cause everything is heavy, and everything is hard
Everything I touch seems to leave me scarred

And then you come and things begin
To fade away as you turn me in to

Your hero and your queen
Your savior and your everything
Cause before you came along, I was just a girl
But when I’m with you, I rule the world
I rule the world, I rule the world

Here come the bombshells about to explode
A one-woman army I’m all on my own
I’ve got no protection, I’ve got no defense
I’ve lost my stamina and I’ve lost my confidence

Losing hope, losing faith
I get beat down, a little bit more every day
Then you come and you make me fight
My antidote for kryptonite

LUCKY ME

Oh Cinderella, I’d like it better, to be in your shoes

Down on your knees nowhere to be, nothing to lose

To be so lucky, to be so lucky, to be so lucky as you

Mr Professor, could it be better, than to be you

You know the answers you know the right from the wrong, you never have to choose

To be so lucky, you seem so lucky, I wish I was you

Tell me mother how’d you discover the secrets of happiness

All the little things seem to fill you up, you never feel my emptiness

Show me how, show me mother, I wish I was you

Tell me how, to live like you do, I wish I was you

Oh Miss Celebrity how does it feel to be so loved by everyone

It must be so rewarding to see us all adoring every little move you make

How did you do it? How’d you get so lucky, I wish I was you

You got everything you ever wanted, I wish I was you

Tell me somebody, looking down on me, why am I so miserable

I got everything I ever wanted, everything I need

Cinderella and the Professor are not as lucky as me

And I am really just like my mother, and I’m a celebrity

Thank you somebody smiling down on me, Thank you for me

I don’t really want, to be anyone else, anyone but me

‘Cause I got everything, I ever wanted, why couldn’t I just see

That I’m so lucky to be who I am, lucky me

BETTER REASON

You twist my arm and you kissed my lips
and I got so sucked into this… stupid me
You left me high and dry and too pissed off to even cry
Leaving me your baggage and your bills
Everything is festering, the crap you left behind
For me to swallow just like bitter little pills
I’m starting to get pissed…

You better have a better reason
For dumping me and walking out the door
When I ask you why the only thing that you can say is…
I don’t love you anymore (I don’t love you)

Seven years of all of this and now you say you have the itch
To run away from me and start again
Is there another woman, another little boy
Something else you found, a brand new shiny little toy?
Now I’m really getting pissed…

You better have a better reason
For dumping me and walking out the door
When I ask you why the only thing that you can say is…
I don’t love you anymore I don’t love you anymore…

All the bullshit finally crept into the bed right where you slept
So now it reeks of all your ugly ways
And suddenly your selfishness is surfacing with all the rest
Of all the things about you that I hate… (Build Vocals)

I couldn’t have a better reason
For dumping you and walking out the door
And when you ask me why the only thing I’ll say to you is…
I don’t love you, I don’t love you, anymore

CRUELLA DEVILLE

I know you think I’m the villian,
That I am Cruella deVille
But you haven’t heard my side of the story, and I don’t think that you will
Cause you like livin’ in lala land
Where everything’s pink and white
You want to put your head in the sand & pretend that everything is alright

Call me the villian, call me a witch
I know no matter what you will
And if it makes you feel better baby
Call me Cruella DeVille

Hurting you hasn’t been easy,
Feeling you start to sink
Watching you cry I sit idly by
Isn’t as fun as you think
And I don’t like being accused
by you and your army of friends
Circling me like crocodiles
Hating me over and over again…

FACE ME

You haunt me and you taunt me
You slither in and out of everywhere F#

And you tease me, before you leave me
Standing stranded with your souvenirs F# F

You elude me and you lie to me I know it
You lead me on again and take me for a ride

Face me, stop running away, You’re gonna break me if ya keep making me beg

Face me, don’t make me, stop making me, stop making me, beg

You seduce me and you use me
And you tell me what you think I want to hear

You only see me when you need me
Then you conveniently make me disappear.. leave me here

You gotta face me, you gotta deal
You gotta treat me like I’m real
You’re making me crazy, you’re making me weak
You’re making me beg and I’m beginning to think, that you’re never gunna
Face me and be true
And see how bad I’m into you
C’mon, c’mon, c’mon, c’mon, don’t make me beg

Face me, take me, embrace me, stop running away, you’re gonna

Break me, if you don’t face me, stop taking me for granted stop making me crawl, Stop making me feel so small, don’t make me beg

SWALLOWED

I’m spinning the moon on my finger, Catching stars like fireflies
A circus clown with a permanent frown, From the weight of the sky

I can’t breathe, There’s too much pressure on me

Fighting with the ghosts in my reflection, Half alive and halfway dead

Balancing what seems to be infinite on the tightrope in my head

I can’t breathe, There’s too much pressure on me

I can’t breathe, There’s too much pressure on me

And I can’t take anymore, Cause I think I swallowed the world

I can’t breathe, I think I swallowed the world
I think I swallowed the world

Stuck inside a vice of expectations, I suffer in the squeeze

I’m ready to break, I’m going to scream--- Straight into Chorus

I can’t breathe, There’s too much pressure on me

And I can’t take anymore, Cause I think I swallowed the world

INHALE

I know it hurts in hell
And you want back out where you can breathe
But you’re down and you’re trapped inside a cage
Where the air is scarce and there is no key
And you want to get back to the playground
But you can hear the angels call your name...
Calling your name...

Inhale, exhale,
Take a breath take another little step
Inhale, exhale,
Breathe in...

Here comes the cowboy, Joe cool,
Here comes the camelflage
Here comes the devil in a fancy dress
And he takes your hand ‘cause he wants to dance
And he’ll kiss your lips ‘til they turn to ash...
Can’t you hear the angels start to cry... starting to cry

Can you hear the angels coming,
Can you hear them call your name
Can you hear the angels crying,
Can you hear them scream, can you hear them scream...

I SURRENDER

Make yourself miserable, make yourself sick

Make yourself angry I know you like it like this

Then you can find someone, something to blame

So you can point your finger at all of the pain

Do you hate yourself, do you hate your life

Why in the world are you so uptight/always a fight

I surrender, I surrender

I’m so tired of trying to make everything alright

I won’t be your doctor I won’t be your bride

I won’t be your mother and console you all the time

Cuz you’re the Mona Lisa, you’re a little child

You’re throwing tantrums you never ever smile

You’re the star of your own bad dream, you’re the drama queen

Welcome to the real world, the real world…
Get up, get up, get up c’mon…

GLASS HEART

Won’t you help me understand,
What am I doing wrong?
Why are you bleeding again
Is it always my fault?

I’m doing the best I can with you,
Living in your fragile world
Walking on my tiptoes
Through your head like a China store

You got a glass heart, you got a glass head
And all my words, are just like lead
Shooting through you, I watch you break
Am I too strong, or are you too weak?

You don’t like the mess I make
When I throw my guts on the wall
You’d rather close your eyes and pretend
You can’t see at all

Am I the monster or are you the martyr…
Are you the martyr? Are you the martyr?

HELD HOSTAGE

Why do you get to decide what stays and what goes
Sneaking around like a burglar in my lover’s clothes

Who are you now but my jury, my judge
As you weed through my life like a garden, digging up the mud

Held hostage, my fate is in your hands
Held hostage, at your mercy I stand

You were always such a politician, so why am I surprised
That when you divided my heart into pieces, you’re selling each slice

Making me feel like a beggar, as a grope for what’s mine
Why are you nailing me down, tell me why, tell me why…
Under the bed like a bad dream,
I seek but I can’t find…
(Hungry for some kind of hand-out, waiting in line)
(And I’ve become a prisoner of your heart, locked inside)
(Seeking some kind of redemption I know I’ll never find)

Held hostage, my fate is in your hands
Held hostage, at your mercy—at your mercy

I’m waiting for you to decide… what is mine
And I’m hoping that you might come back, and hold me, hold me…

But I’m chained to the rules you have spoken, that I have to obey
Cause I can’t move, and I can’t breathe, without your OK

So I’ve become your voodoo doll, with your magic and pins
Sticking me down like a bug in your box of old worn-out things

HOLLOW

LIVING DUNGEON LOCKED AWAY
LOSING VOICE FIND WAY
THROUGH YOU IN SOMEWHERE

POUNDING FISTS DOOR
HANDS BRUSIED SKIN TORN
GOTTA GET YOU … IN SOMEWHERE


DON't MOVE BREATH SEEM SWALLOW
SEEM EMPTY/GONE LEFT ME/FEEL EPTY


WEAK WHISPER FINALLY EMERGE
BUT JUST SHADOW CAN'T SURE
BLOOD THREW YOU? TELL ME IN THERE

WHERE HIDING WHY GONE
WHEN COME BACK,WILL BACK ALL
CAN HEAR ME? WHERE DID GO

UP ALL NIGHT

Doesn’t it eat you up, guilt that’s in blood
Running through you like a virus?
How can you live like this,
Doesn’t it make you sick
When she’s standing right behind us?
She’s right behind us… Ah, ah, ah…
Coming home late again, why do I let you in
When I want to lock the door
But you’ve got flowers in your eyes,
just like sorry cards
Haven’t we both been here before?
Haven’t we been here before?

How can you sleep with that conscience tearing you up inside
Turning you inside out,
Keeping you up all night

Broken promises, the story always changes
And I know where you’ve been
But you’re so rational,
with all your pros and cons,
You convince me to give in, why do I give in?

And so I toss and turn, and it’s begun to burn, As I simmer in the dark
I don’t want you anymore I can’t live like this, Holding on to half your heart,
she has half your heart

I can’t sleep with this conscience
tearing me up inside
Turning me inside out,
keeping me up all night
I won’t sleep with this conscience
tearing me up inside
Turning me inside out,
keeping me up all night

DRIVEN

Hold on my love to the tail of my soul,
as I drag you through hell on my heels
Don’t look behind you and promise me,
you’ll imagine just how it feels…

I am consumed and feeling marooned
on an island haunted by angels
Whispering into the depth of my soul
to drive through the danger

So I go, cause it’s all that I know

I’ve got to run to the beat of my drum, let me go

Cause I’m driven please say I’m forgiven
For bringing you down, but I can’t turn around
Cause I’ve got this drive, I’ve got this drive,
I’ve got this drive

I race for the line, trying to find,
the place where the earth meets the sky
But I’m chasing the moon, it constantly moves,
and I’m watching my life pass me by
And I sweat, and I lose, and I cry
And I laugh, and I learn, and I fight


Can’t you see I’m bent, making a dent, ready to jump
I’m ready to dance, so ready or not, here I come
Are you willing to wait, it’s just a matter of time

HOME

When you touch me You make me tremble
And I'm afraid of how I feel
And if I stay here I will crumble
I will fade and disappear

So when I leave you Wait for me
I'll be back when I am through
'Cause you can't love me When broken
And I know this is something have to do

So I've got to go now and leave you here
So I can try and find myself
'Cause I got lost somewhere along way
When I find home I'll bring you there

I wish I could love you I wish I could stay
I wish I could let you fix my heart
But you've got nothing but my shadow in your arms
And you can't save me when you've got no place to start

I'll bring you there…
