Some days you’re feeling lazy
memories are getting hazy
Like there’s no real reason to care
I know you’re fighting hard
but you’ll just come out scarred
When you find yourself locked in his stare
You’ll lose your way
till the best you do is stay still
*He’ll push you down every time*
He’ll tie you down
give you a bad name all over town
*You’re feeling down all the time*
*He’s selfish, he’s careless
he’s cries but always tearless
he’ll chew you up and he will spit you out*
Ohhhh yeah
*You’re Reeling, from feeling
like these wounds are never healing*
You’re not okay, no you’re not okay
You gotta watch the things he does
or he’s gonna make you crawl
You gotta watch the things you say
or he’s gonna make you pay
You’re not okay, no you’re not okay
You’re lonely all the day
While he’s around you lose your way
He’s pushing harder all the time
He says he’ll never hurt you
Though he’s already burnt you
You’ll lie and say that you feel fine
He’ll use you,
abuse you yeah
*mental scars are hard to heal*
He’ll trash your name
You’ll leave in shame
*There’s no point trying to make him feel*

Don't Cry for Me

Think first for once
I didn’t change
You changed the rules and now you
say I’m acting strange
We shared some love
that much I know
but now I have to leave, this town
is far too slow
You dug the blade in first
for sentimental reasons only
everyone says we’re cursed
It’s true, can’t you see
Don’t you cry for me, it’s okay
Don’t take that tone no you won’t be alone for long, this is the right way
You wanted me
to be your king
I took your throne and so you
cut me with your sting
I hurt you back
things never change
I’ll leave my keys for you
that’s the best I can arrange
Why don’t you wait and see
Soul destroyed we’re in a cage
this is all that’s left of me
why won’t you act your age
find your way back home
No it won’t be very long
‘till you hear that song again
and you’ll be there
You need to
find your way back home
When you’re sitting all alone
just think of me and what I did for you
I’m making my own way

See there's this girl I know
she's standing at the edge of a deep and darkened hole
Finding it hard to find time for all the joy in the world
all thanks to what you said to her
See there's this girl I know
She could be so happy now if only you could
bring yourself to see things her way, like you should
Oh like you should
But she's stuck behind this wall
And she thinks that she might fall
This might be her last chance for this you know
But you thinks just of yourself
you won't be put on the shelf
you don't know if you'll ever be ready for this
She can't breathe, but you can't see the signs
She won't leave, but if you do not try, you'll never be ready for this
She can't breathe, don't make her hold her breath much longer
Oh you see this can only make you stronger so much stronger
See there's this girl I know
She's never wanted something so much in her life
But you don't care, you know your words cut like a knife
And she'll never get another chance
No there's no coming back
If you keep down this road, you're gonna lose her
This is something you wanted, you told her
It's just that you're not ready - Oh better make yourself ready

Sun, Rain and Fire

The way she walks into the room
sets ablaze wherever she passes through
All the faces stop and stare
As she walks over to you
you know you need to have her now
but you can't trust what your mouth will say
she will be yours you know,
just let the conversation flow
there's no sense that you can see
now you're feeling lost at sea
why would she choose you?
I'll tell you why
A little bit of sun
a little bit of rain
a little bit of fire
is all she needs
she asks you if you'd like to dance
you feel the sweat running down your neck
your legs are trembling, you can barely stand
how could you dance?
she takes you by the hand
and leads you out onto the floor
your panic drowned out by the band
just relax and let the music take you

Running out of Reasons

Keep your hands inside this train
You’ll never crack that window pane
It’s made of stronger glass than you know
if you Keep your thoughts all to yourself
never trust in someone else
You’ll never learn to go with the flow
But I’ll keep trying to make it better
Keep trying to see you better but I’m
running out of reasons to try if you won’t
If you won’t realise
with what your burning tries
it’s killing you
But I’m running out of reasons to stay
I Loved you, this is true
But you used me through and through
Pushed till my soul was black and blue
Like a fool I stuck with you
Tried to make myself someone new
Maybe then you would love me too
But I’ll keep trying to see things clearer
Maybe if I bring you nearer,
I’m running out of reasons to try if you won’t
If you won’t realise
What you cause with all your lies
It’s killing me too
And I’m running out of reasons to stay

When I get you alone
it’s gonna take all night
we’re gonna do it right
You know we’re gonna take it slow
get as high as a kite
Set your soul alight
You always do that thing to me
I get that ting-gling all down my spine
You know I need that healing
I know you need it too
You know it’s all for you tonight
Get you feeling hot
you’ll never want it to stop
Your love keeps shining bright
I’ll give you all I got
just like we aught to baby
You know when you look at me like that
I get that ting-gling all down my spine
When you touch me like that baby
I just, I just wanna… Oooooh!

Why can’t we get along
It should be easier
Why can’t we get along
And make this all okay
You tried so you say
but you’ve nothing to prove it
you lied to us again
everyone knows it
why can’t we get along
Find something in your heart
you know this won’t change anything
except for those who love
There’s some goodness in your heart I know
this would make them so happy
We’ve got to see it through
We’ll make a brighter day
We’ve got to see it through
Everyone has the right to love
Make this a better world
Oh you’ve just got to do it just got to do it
Make this a nicer world
Why can’t we just get along?
Please look inside your heart
you know this won’t change anything
except for those who need it
There’s some kindness in your soul I know
this would make them so happy

[Verse]
I can remember when we
would fight for the world
but those days are now
so far behind us
we’d sunk into apathy
We told each other
that we could just let it end
like the winter
You were so cold
but now spring’s finally here
You’re keeping us warm
It’s hard to remember that we
could live for the day
that we’d make it
So far to the top
such a dizzying view
from up there
Though those heights have
eluded us for now
We clung to each other
gripping so tight but now
now spring’s finally here
You’re keeping us warm
[Chorus]
Your face, it shone like a star
Oh you’re so far from where you on ce were
so inspired to
work on a light of my own
Holding a torch to the sun
Your light it shone all around
Touching the lives of everyone around you
making a light in the darkness
You showed us the way to get through the day
took us home
[Verse]
Words you had spoken
ring true for the world
though you’re still searching so hard
to find your own
way through the darkness
You’re as lost as we were
but now spring’s finally here
I’ll keep you warm
Time’s that you helped us all breathe
I remember those well
You’re not forgotten
You could never be forgotten
your soul shines too brightly
for us to forget you now
Let us help you to
carry your burden
for spring’s finally here
I’ll keep you warm

Dee Mac Hobart, Australia
Dee Mac is a musician from Hobart. She tends to write in rather eclectic styles, and finds sticking to one genre a little
too restricting. She realised a few years ago that she can't write short songs, and after trying to write pop bangers for far too long, she has finally embraced it, and now her songs tend to average 5-10 minutes long…
All in all, she’s just in it for the music <3
