Runaway
07:08

You know that you can be so blind
falling through metaphors
You know that I will take my time
Racing the clock to
get back to the top
I’m sorry that I ran away
It’s a temperamental scene
Screaming to be noticed
I cannot stop, it’s in my genes
I’m so sorry that I
couldn’t be what you wanted
I’m sorry that I ran away
We can sleep to dream
Sometimes we can be so mean
Things aren’t always what they seem
You see we are two of a kind
Wanting the same thing
What I need is love defined
It’s the same in the end
I just need my friends to be there
I’m sorry that I ran away

Delusions of Grandeur
08:08

Take this as a sign
She was meant to be
alone with her
thoughts
Thoughts of the end of the world
Time has changed her
Sing for the angels
locked in her room
sing for her world
Weep for her soul
Talking 'bout revolution
The pinnacle of evolution
This song will never end
No her pain will never end
Trying to make her final decision
Need the right place for the first incision
No love to append
this must be the end

Alone
05:34

Time cannot
heal these wounds
She tries so hard
to hide the scars
But she feels like
she deserves to be
Alone in this
though she’ll try her best
to make the most of what
is left of her faith
in love
Torn up inside
She finds she cannot hide
her tears from her face
She’s broken, but she’ll have to wait
for time to pass, though it won’t
heal these wounds
She tries so hard
to hide the scars
But she feels like
she deserves to be
Alone

Little People Dream Big
04:13
|

She makes her way with a vague aplomb,
down through the streets to fields of green and grey
Pretending that it's all okay,
it's what she has to do to get through the day
But she
has a dream that'll one day solve it all
One day she'll show the world
yeah she
has a dream - when she dreams, she don't dream small
Cos she's finally found a way to get back home
But nothing's real in this dream of hers
The apple's ripe but she won't let it fall
She holds on tight to this dream of hers
she knows if she lets go she might lose it all
But she
has a dream that'll one day solve it all
One day she'll show the world
yeah she
has a dream - when she dreams, she don't dream small
Cos she's finally found a way to get back home
But she
she's made a list, she's not gonna let it go,
Gonna try and try again till she's ready
and she
She's gonna get it together someday,
and then the world had better be ready

Sleepyhead
04:56
|
|||
We'll sleep on the rooftops all out in the rain
we can feel all the echoes of all of our pain slowly
wash away leaving us fresh as a summer morn
here in the darkness, we can see the stars all out
letting us know that nothing we do even means a thing
at least that's how it feels sometimes
I can see my breath get swept away
the breathtaking colours laid out in a palette of
twinkling, shining brightly
millions of years it has travelled so far
just to get to us
it really helps keep things in perspective
Up here on the rooftops it all seems so small
it really helps to get away from it all
where there's time to breathe
we can name all the stars in our own private map
too many constellations to ever keep track of
we'll yawn and then we'll lay our heads down to dream
Sleep little heads let the soft wind caress
your closed little eyelids while all the world rests
all your cares are gone
all the cares and concerns you had today
sleep little heads let your dreams take you far away
let them all drift away

Already Yours
06:32
|

Verse 1
You’ll never understand
how much I need to hold your hand in mine
take what I can give, I’ll never need it back
Met at the wrong time
you’ll never be my valentine
How I wish you could be mine, but I’ll hold it back
You could have everything I
have to give
if you would only ask
You could have everything
I’m already yours, you just don’t know it
Verse 2
There’s something in the way you do what you do
that makes me crumble like a schoolgirl,
swallowing her tongue every time that she
tries to say a word,
I’m struggling so hard to be heard
but I can’t seem to get the words out
If only we’d met at another time
things could be different
Then you could have everything
I’m already yours, I just can’t show it
Chorus
It feels like we’re
moving backwards
I need to know you feel
I need something that is real
Moving backwards
Show me that you care
Nothing else is fair in this
world, but we’ll keep on this pattern
Attraction requited, but ignored just won’t do any more
I need you to come over
I need to hold you in my arms
tell you all my little secrets
I want you to admit that there’s something there
But I won’t push it
I need you to come over
Verse 3
Making nice will never be enough for me
But making nice is all that I can ever have
You could have everything I
have to give
if you would only ask
You could have everything
I’m already yours, you just don’t know it

Forgettable
07:08
|

Close your eyes
And turn like a pen and cassette
Demagnetised
You're so easy to forget
This song spins around in my mind
rolling alone in your bed
No matter how hard I try
Make your words
a matter of personal pride
If I said
I know you, well I guess I lied
This song spins around in my mind
rolling alone in your bed
No matter how hard I try
I can't keep you inside my head
You're falling through cracks I can't heal
Searching for something I can feel

Lost
04:16

Made your mind up
you never wanted anybody else
to take this away from you
It’s your own life
you’ll take your garbage out
when you’re good and ready
You’ve been burned one too many times
self inflicted though these wounds may be
you’ve made your mind up
you’ll never open up again
Blinded by life
the big picture is so hard to see
when you’re six feet under
kill yourself again
your little finger’s feeling naked
without a soul around it
Tried to lead one too many times
no one will follow when you’re using force
you’ve made your mind up
you’ll never see clearly again
Your mind’s made up
you’ll never trust
a soul again
Taken too soon
your youth and beauty now so hard to find
when you’re filled with this much hate
pain’s the drug of choice
when all that’s left is the empty shell
of who you used to be
Made your bed, now you’ll die in it
not such a pretty painting now it’s hung on the wall
you’ve made your mind up
you’ll never love again
Your mind’s made up
you’ll never trust
a soul again
Self inflicted pain is all you know
Self inflicted pain is all you’ll show
You’ll never find yourself again

When Love Left
05:39
|
|||
I
will wear your ring
around my neck
to remind me of your words
And I
will wear your pain
upon my face
to remind me how you changed
when love left
These beating hearts
we clung to it dearly but
love is not enough for us to
sing
these happy songs
for a simpler time
They just don’t mean as much anymore
we
betrayed the words
though we never
thought that we would before
Before love left
These beating hearts
we clung to it dearly but
love is not enough for us to

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
