exal_cisn I am working to overcome unhealthy habits I use to deal with stress in my life. This song beautifully reflects several challenges in this journey, such as feeling of addiction and inadequacy hunting me. So many awesome songs! Favorite track: Six Pills.

I was alone Drifting at sea Living life without a purpose Barely floating on the surface Then came along A beautiful creature Body shimmering in the water Emerald eyes so full of wonder He pulled me into the deep end Where all the ocean was sleeping Showed me the secrets he’s keeping Into his arms I was sinking He said Hush I’ll be your guiding star I’ll keep you safe and warm Hush Follow my sirensong I’ll lead you through the storm I brought him to shore So he could see Everything above the ocean People dancing with emotion But all of the world Thought we were freaks Never tried to understand us Threw a match into our plans and They said we’d end in disaster Happy won’t be ever after So we cut the ropes to our anchor Sailed away into the breeze And he said Hush I’ll hold you in my arms I’ll keep you safe and warm Fo- Follow my sirensong I’ll lead you through the storm Ooh Ooh So I said Hush I’ll be your guiding star I’ll keep you safe and warm Hush Follow my sirensong I’ll lead you through the storm Ooh

The Tide 02:55

We were children of the sea In the water so carefree You and I went hand in hand Building castles in the sand Then one night the tide came in Pulled you out to sea and then I never saw you ever again I been searching far and wide you know Hoping that the waves will bring you home Everyday I’m clinging to the life we had before But the ocean gives the ocean takes Holding on was my mistake So now I think it’s time I let you go You were always by my side Left our troubles far behind Skinny dipping stars so bright Underneath the pale moonlight You swam too far away from shore I saw the ocean swallow you whole Now the summer skies are still and cold But I been sailing miles against the tide Hoping that the waves give me a sign Dreaming of the day I'll finally meet you at the coast But looking back I realize Sometimes dreams were meant to die So you’re someone I have to leave behind But the ocean gives the ocean takes Holding on was my mistake So now I think it’s time I let you go

Sometimes This feels like a movie Turn around now this is just a bad dream You’re like Pepper mixed with ice cream First bite good then hit with the spicy Mondays are violets Tuesdays are daisies Wednesdays you’re covered in thorns I’m trapped in your garden No one can save me But you keep me coming back for more ‘cause Loving you is so hard And I can’t tell How you got me Thinking that I’m unwell When you’re gone Oh it kills me Loving you is so hard And I can’t tell How you got me Thinking that I’m unwell When you’re gone Wish I Knew what you were thinking You say you’re fine then tempers are rising My mind Can’t stop wondering Are you crazy in love or are you just crazy Mondays you love me Tuesdays you hate me Wednesdays you never know Can’t make your mind up Things getting hazy But you keep me coming back for more ‘cause Loving you is so hard And I can’t tell How you got me Thinking that I’m unwell When you’re gone Oh it kills me Loving you is so hard And I can’t tell How you got me Thinking that I’m unwell When you’re gone Mondays you love me Tuesdays you hate me When will you ever know I can’t make my mind up Things getting hazy How will I ever let you go ‘Cause I’m thinking that I’m unwell Oh ‘Cause I’m thinking that I’m unwell Oh

Little Girl 03:42

Once upon a time in a far away land A little girl lived under her father’s hand She wept in silence and never talked Her father made sure that he called the shots He nailed the door shut so she couldn’t leave Blew out the lights so she couldn’t see But one night she broke through the window pane Nothing could stop her great escape ‘Cause this girl had plans That he’d never understand All the miracles she saw in her dreams All the amazing things that she could be So the little girl ran away from home you see Little girl go on and write your story Little girl rejoice ‘cause you’re finally free Little girl be who you wanna be You already know the strength inside your heart You don’t need someone to tell you who you are Go and say the words you know you long to speak Little girl little girl be who you wanna be Go and say the words you know you long to speak Little girl little girl be who you wanna be Twenty years later through the hourglass The little girl grew up in the time that’s passed All those late nights ‘cause she worked three jobs Started from pennies now she’s her own boss One day she opens up the door to meet A stranger at window guess who she sees Her father shows up with a face of red Head down low he looks up and says I know you can’t forgive All the things that I did But I’m hoping that you’ll understand For you I always had a plan So the little girl showed him all the things she achieved The world she saw from all the highest peaks How she moved the mountains with her fingertips Head to toe her father finally admits You already know the strength inside your heart You don’t need someone to tell you who you are Go and say the words you know you long to speak Little girl little girl be who you wanna be Go and say the words you know you long to speak Little girl little girl be who you wanna be Go and say the words you know you long to speak Little girl little girl be who you wanna be Be who you wanna be Little girl little girl be who you wanna be Ah Little girl little girl be who you wanna be

Monster In The Wall 03:01
lyrics

I see a monster in the wall He’s in the air, he’s in the halls When I turn my back he creeps inside my veins No one listens when I say That he haunts me every day Oh I wish that I could chase him far away I lie awake at night Pull up the covers tight I see his shadows dancing ‘round A creeping silhouette I start to shake and sweat He’s on my ceiling looking down I beg him please just let me go Why won’t you leave me here alone From the corners of my room he says I’m your fear I’m your hurt I’m the rumors that you heard I’m your doubt I’m your shame You’ll forever be in pain So I cry In my bed Licking wounds that never mend Wonder if this nightmare ever ends I see a monster in the wall 
He’s in the air, he’s in the halls When I turn my back he creeps inside my veins No one listens when I say
 That he haunts me every day Oh I wish that I could chase him far away He’s always on my mind
 Nowhere to run or hide 
Enough to make me scream and shout I put the records on Sing all my favorite songs But I can never drown him out I bolt the door I lock me in Somehow he gets under my skin And like a ghost he whispers in my head You’re a joke You’re depressed You’re a failure and a mess You’re a fool
 You’re unloved
 You will never be enough So I hide
 In my room ‘Cause no one can see my gloom Wondering what more I have to lose I see a monster in the wall
 He’s in the air, he’s in the halls When I turn my back he creeps inside my veins No one listens when I say That he haunts me every day Oh I wish that I could chase him far away I see a monster in the wall He’s in the air, he’s in the halls Oh I wish that I could chase him far away

Six Pills 03:56
lyrics

In the woods I met a man Old as oak and staff in hand Sunken eyes but gentle smile We sat down and talked awhile And he said I can see it in your eyes You’ve been hurt a couple times I’ve got the perfect antidote To cure a heart of stone Tiny red pills in a big blue bottle He put them right in my hands Said this stuff can do wonders take you to nirvana Make you a better man I should’ve known something was amiss When I saw his smile turn to a grin But Then as he left me There so perplexed He turned and said One to numb the hurt Two to ease the pain Three to clear your mind Forget all the hate Take as I advised Not more than prescribed Several weeks ahead You’ll be fine again One to numb the hurt Two to ease the pain Three to clear your mind Forget all the hate Take as I advised Not more than prescribed Several weeks ahead You’ll be fine again So I went home My heart confused Didn’t know just what to do I popped the cap And took a dose After all what could I lose And then I touched the clouds and bathed in sky A magic broom a carpet ride Before I fell and woke in bed Tried to repeat the words he said One to numb the hurt Two to ease the pain Three to clear my mind Forget all my hate What did he say next I forget the rest But several weeks ahead I’ll be fine again One to numb the hurt Two to ease the pain Three to clear my mind Forget all my hate Five could never hurt Just to calm my nerves Several weeks ahead I’ll be fine again Tiny red pills in a big blue bottle Wish I had the strength back then Need to get a refill chase away the evil All the whispers in my head But I can’t find the man I knocked on his door His neighbors say no one lived there before So now all my days Just blur in a haze They go like this One to stop the chills Two to ease the pain Three to wash my guilt Forget all my shame Five could never hurt Six couldn’t be worse Seven days it’s been Here we go again One to stop the chills Two to ease the pain Three to wash my guilt Forget all my shame Five could never hurt Six couldn’t be worse Seven days it’s been Here we go again Here we go again Here we go again Oh To stop the pain Forget my shame Ah One Two Three Four Five Six

The King 03:32
lyrics

There was a king Living carefree He wanted the world he wanted everything He ruled with a fist His people were starved He watched as they begged behind his castle guards Diamonds and pearls Emeralds and gold He bathed in the riches only he could know But with time came age His health in decline The fate of his legacy left to the tides So he ran to his queen and demanded a child Planted his seed then he cast her aside Several moons later she bore him a son But died just to give him his own flesh and blood Ooh Ooh The son grew like weeds He soon was eighteen He ventured outside of the castle to see The faces so gaunt The dead in the streets They cried out for help but nobody could hear Deep down inside him something had stirred He laughed at the ruins his father incurred Fire in his veins he stormed back to the throne Stared down the king with a rage still unknown Ooh The father decreed The new rule of law His son to be banished outside of the walls But the song had a plan And his heart was convinced There’d never be room for both king and a prince He rallied the people and charged through the gates Shield in one hand but the other a blade With one fell swoop his own father deposed He sat on the throne and adorned his new crown Ooh The son was elated The kingdom was his Diamonds and emeralds and gold-plated bliss But what of the people The legends don’t say Just like a memory They faded away There was a king Living carefree He wanted the world he wanted everything
