Introw 01:08
Row, row, row your boat Gently down the stream Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily, Life is but a dream. - old nursery rhyme

Mascara tears running down her gold spun dress Leaving a stain upon her happiness Alone again, it’s like midnight struck This should’ve been prince Is out of time and luck Say goodbye to starry dances Say goodbye to reckless romances Bound with a kiss Oh it’s a different story than the one they tell ya It’s the end of Cinderella Seeping sun spilling through her darkened door Gone the fairytale she lived before Stars and wells - they only make her wish But sometimes the glass slipper doesn’t fit No one’s riding to her rescue She’s walking her own path She knows once upon a time Is never coming back Oh, it's a different story than the one they tell ya... It's the end of Cinderella.

She Believes 03:58
THERE'S A CUT ON HER RIGHT HAND FROM THE NIGHT WHEN HE GOT A LITTLE TOO MAD. BEER AND BOTTLES REALLY DON'T MIX. THERE'S A BIG BRUISE ON HER LEFT HIP FROM THE TIME WHEN SHE TELLS ME SHE SLIPPED DOWN THE STAIRS BUT HE WAS THERE AND HE WATCHED HER FALL. SHE'S NEVER TRIED TO LEAVE HIM SHE'S NEVER CRIED OR HELP. 'CAUSE SHE BELIEVES IN FAIRY TALES THAT EVERY DAMSEL IN DISTRESS IS RESCUED. SHE BELIEVES IN DREAMS COME TRUE AND IF YOU ASK HER SHE WILL TELL YOU THAT EVERY NIGHT SHE TURNS DOWN THE LIGHT JUST TO HIDE THE FIGHT IN HIS EYES. 'CAUSE SHE BELIEVES HER FROG IS A PRINCE AND SHE KEEPS ON KISSING HER GOOD YEARS GOOD-BYE. THERE'S A NOTE TUCKED IN HER DIARY FROM THE DAY WE, WE TRIED TO STEP IN. BUT TRUTH AND DENIAL AREN'T FRIENDS. THERE'S A TEAR YOU CAN SEE SOMETIMES WHEN SHE CAN'T FIND REASON TO JUSTIFY SHUTTING US OUT JUST TO KEEP IN WITH HIM. SHE ALWAYS GETS UP ON HIS GOOD SIDE SHE ENDS UP ON HIS BAD. BUT...SHE BELIEVES IN FAIRYTALES...

Silence 03:16
No one ever gets in Nothing ever comes out I don’t know how many times I’ve tried To beat this door down. You hold me close And It feels so right But enough with the strong, silent type. Is a dagger pointed at my heart? Is behind that smile a poison dart? Do you love me too? Am I just being used? Baby, I can’t tell where you are. When you’re near me All I hear is Silence. You say you’re not good with emotions. The words don’t come. But I’m not a mind reader. I don’t know whether to stay or run. If you’re choking on the notion that love could be this close? I want to know. Silence is screaming I’m starting to believe it. There’s a dagger pointed at my heart. And behind your smile is a poison dart. You don’t love me too. I am just being used. Baby, now I know who you are. When you want me, When you need me, All you’ll hear is…

I can see her on a park bench, she’s feeding bread to pigeons. But that’s not her intention. She looks at her reflection, and never smiles at water that distorts her image. And it doesn’t take much to fall down. That could be me, yeah, That could be me. Breaking, broken on I go. Will beauty be what I behold? Looking past the looking glass at me. Glance at passing windows - stranger in my own skin. I’m bordering obsession. I look at my reflection. Here comes my mask, laying down its guard. It’s giving way to a smile that doesn’t try so hard. Could that be me, yeah? Could that be me? Oh, Mirror, mirror in the wall. Far from fairest of them all. Or is that just my insecurity? Looking past the looking glass, at me.

YOU WERE LEADING ME UP LONG AND WINDING STAIRS UP TO A TOWER WHERE THERE WAS A DOOR AND A KEY IN A TRANCE IT SEEMED I OBEYED YOUR EVERY WORD. YOU WERE FEEDING ME SOFT SPOKEN LIES FOOLING ME WITH YOUR GENTLE EYES UNTIL I LET DOWN MY GUARD AND EXPOSED MY HEART TO A WOLF IN A LAMB’S DISGUISE. SO THE GUY’S NO PRINCE AND THE CASTLE’S MADE OF SAND AND THERE IT ALL GOES WITH THE WAVE OF A HAND. SOME STORIES ARE BETTER LEFT UNSPOKEN. BUT I WON’T GIVE UP. NO. I WON’T TURN AROUND. I’VE BEEN THERE BEFORE, AND I’VE LEARNED BY NOW THAT I WILL NOT FALL DOWN WHEN THE SPELL IS BROKEN. SO THE BUTTERFLIES, MOON, AND STARS ARE GONE BACK WHERE THEY BELONG. THAT’S FINE WITH ME. I’D RATHER BE ALONE THAN LONELY WITH SOMEONE. …AND THE SPELL IS BROKEN.

I Surrender 03:13
I’ve been throwing punches in a misty fog I’ve been fighting battles already long gone In my pursuit of perfection In the hope for resurrection of the past My armor is a t -shirt that reads, “BUG OFF” I’ve worn it ‘til the words are cracking off It’s met its fate like my yesterdays And there’s nothing left to do. So, I Surrender I Surrender I hang onto my memories Like they’re close to the edge I don’t wanna let go and I don’t wanna forget Cause I’m only a fool to Just walk away from them They make me who I am. Wave a white flag, a white flag over my head Turn myself in Abandon to you instead No more fighting, get out now While there’s still life left. I Surrender

If I had a magic wand, If I could cast a perfect spell, Teach the dove a new song, Found a fool-proof wishing well, If a Prince name Charming came knockin’ at my door, What would I need him for? I’ve got a silly spring in my step. I’ve got butterflies in my stomach. What more could I want, Baby, all I need is wrapped up in you. We’ve got a once in a life-time chance. We’ve got a genuine romance. I’m not under any spell. We've got a real–life fairytale. You love my crooked little nose. And how my hair falls in my face. I love the way that you dance slow. Your feet stayed glued in place. I know tomorrow and forever will always feel this way, Our love is here to stay. I’ve got a silly spring in my step. I’ve got butterflies in my stomach. What more could I want, Baby, all I need is wrapped up in you. We’ve got a once in a life-time chance. We’ve got a genuine romance. I’m not under any spell. We've got a real–life fairytale. Those storytellers did the best they could. But nobody’s ever written us this good.

I always dreamt about what would happen between the covers, of my life. I always laughed out loud to think it’d happen Just the way I planned in the corners of my mind. But I’d be damned if I missed one day. Let it pass me by. Turn the page See what’s next You never know what you’re gonna get. There’s a whole lot going on here. The beauty, the sadness The quiet, the madness - This is me Between the Covers. So many twists and turns blind-siding me Just made me stronger inside. All the choices made, and the dreams on hold, Because it wasn’t the right time. I could stop and just shut the book But there’s life in every line. With every word And every breath There’s so much left to be written… Turn the page See what’s next You never know what you’re gonna get There’s a whole lot going on here…. A little luck, a lot of faith And the chance to taste The beauty, the sadness The quiet, the madness, This is me Between the covers. This is me between the covers.

Love, Believe in Me (free) 03:43
If I ever met love, I’d have to pinch myself. I’d take pictures and send it to all of my friends I’d never let it go. I’d take it everywhere. And cross the map to the other side and back again. Can I, can I believe in love? Love, believe in me. Will I, will I find what I seek. Love, believe in me. Should I give love another try. Love, believe in me. Is it a possibility? Love, believe in me. Saw it on an airplane, a woman and her man. He was showing off the diamond on her left hand. They were just married. And the look in their eyes. Was the love between a husband and wife. Can I, can I believe in love? Love, believe in me. Will I, will I find what I seek. Love, believe in me. Should I give love another try. Love, believe in me. Is it a possibility? Love, believe in me. Grey hair and wrinkles, a couple holding hands Fifty years and still together they stand. He picks her a flower. She takes it and grins And love has won her heart all over again. Can I, can I believe in love? Love, believe in me. Will I, will I find what I seek. Love, believe in me. Should I give love another try. Love, believe in me. Is it a possibility? Love, believe in me.
