Signal 03:47
Signal by Sarah Donner A E B5 You woke up broken and beat To ask me what to believe But your life is your discovery When you get in too deep Send out a signal to me We came from the same one the sea The salt inside our blood runs through the Veins in you and in me E Bsus Take a stand I’ll take your hand E/G# A God knows I am not that fearless I am strong inside a song, but I could never live up to lyrics Remember when I was thirteen And we deemed everything so romantic And you know how to make me scream E/G# The glass between you weren’t afraid to E/A E/A# B5 smash it down and break out So many sit on the beach Waiting for the tide that’s high To wash up things out of reach But treasures fade and beauties age Hope floats and love doesn’t sink Make your move and hold onto The ones who pray you suceed (Chorus) C#m Caug E/B I know the feeling Everyone else winning E/G# A B Beginnings are so far away

With Pride 02:52
With Pride I can come out, you can come too We can be gay, gay as a unicorn That soars in the sky We can go see the Indigo Girls You wear the pants, I’ll wear the pearls And we can be closer to fine If you like Prada or kickin in your Birks We’ll be like Tim Gunn and make it work God made a rainbow for us all to see A spectrum of people all underneath So you be who you are inside And I’ll be your friend with pride We’ll go to marches, bars, and parades Sing all the songs from all the Broadway plays It’s fun when you’re down with the gays If you are straight, we can be friends Even with conservative Republicans Contraception happens naturally We can’t have a baby accidentally (Chorus)

Perfect Time 04:12
3. Perfect Time:: You have brought a lot of joy to my life that I love Now : You have got a broken heart so what, what can I give you? : All these grays, they make you feel older but : You’ve got ten thousand days : This one’s going to blow over The ones we love become undone and you are stuck by a bedside : Where midnight rides just drive the heartache home : Where the lights of your life sleep : Sound, the sound of your speakers : Drowns out the drone of doubt : And exposes your weakness : When your children love you wholly : When they play in perfect time : Music sometimes fades out slowly : We’ve been listening all our lives : Breathe and beat on repeat, your feet go through the motions : And love sustains the weight of pain when there is no resolution : The signature of time has accidentals so : Sing out the song inside : It’s instrumental : (Chorus) Raise your glasses high, to a man, to a love, to a life : Raise your glasses high to man, to love, to life

Perspective 03:50
Perspective I knew you were leaving by the sigh inside your breathing When your eyes looked in mine From August to December every month the world had ended And your heart turned white and saved my life Change was on my shoulder saying “Baby you look older” On a one way track and you can’t go back Life is easy when you are not looking for adventure With the window panes closed to keep me safe oh, you fade away Teach me to be brave Deep inside the garden my heart was breaking harder than the ground below I will throw away the shovel and the spade, let the witch grass grow This earth is full of springs that will never be Broken up from the love underneath You never spoke a word but every hope I overheard It was in your cry and I held on tight The mountains moved to rise that I knew you would never climb the heights that stop the sky and turn the day to night I drifted along for my paycheck and a song When I had time to write and rhyme Reality’s subjective and nothing’s in perspective when fear and dread hold up your head. (Chorus) Oh this face can glow, but here you’ll never see it And this weight can float, but here you won’t believe it

The Rebuttal of Schrödinger’s Cat In multiple states at the same time I’ll take the one where I’m still alive When I get out, I’ll live with Einstein And I will because I have nine lives I will chase your theory It’s just made of string Without observation I’m doing all the things I would not be in this box with cyanide If I could call PETA in 1935 Open up and measure this absurdity I’ll teach you about superposition with my claws and teeth In multiple states at the same time I’ll take the one where I’m still alive You have one life, but I have nine I’ll hunt you down with the rest of mine This quantum mechanics thought experiment On a macroscopic level just proves that you’re a dick Yes you are a smart man, but one thing you forgot I am cat. I can think outside the box Open up and measure this absurdity I’ll get out and shred all possible realities In multiple states at the same time I’ll take the one where I’m still alive You are unknown without this feline Guess who peed on your Nobel Prize

Let Him Go 02:35
Let Him Go Now and then there’s things that you gotta say even though it’s hard A friend in need’s a friend in deed so have a try Speak right from the heart You’ve shared joys and tears untold Shouldered burdens and beared your soul So why not be the better friend and let her know She’s dating an asshole Oh let him go You gotta show Him the door ‘cause you’re worth more What else are you waiting for? He loves you so, he’s gonna grow, blah, blah, blah He says that he can change But if he is a cheater who manipulates Well, that’s just what he’d say Therapy is not enough He needs a swift punch to the nuts so Speak your mind, smack her down, let her know She’ll thank you someday Oh let him go You gotta show Him the door ‘cause you’re worth more What else are you waiting for?
7.
Sightlines 03:44
Sightlines I don’t know why you move me to tears On my pillow pillowcase I don’t owe owe you anything But I want to give you everything Barely breathing Sleeping in the basement Out of sightlines Wishing I was in your bed And you were in mine Putting out the lights In the back of my mind Let me go to the shore We’ll throw stones in the water Hold your face From our boat Hug the coast Please just don’t waste my love (Chorus) Take a tour of my skin I’m still learning to live in Here
8.
Daniel 04:23
Daniel Oh Daniel when are you gonna come down My mouth is tired from all this smiling at the ground Get yourself moving If we’re gonna go let’s go now Cause there’s thing to say ‘bout moving slowly So I’m holding Your angel voice is putting pennies in the bank It’s sweet when you know how to sing me down to sleep That tune that you sing I wouldn’t trade for anything But my finger’s cold and feeling lonely But I’m holding Oh darling marry me We don’t need anything Leave the church and diamond ring Just watch the city lights with me My sisters they have all gone in front of me Upstate and downtown I’m gonna get down on my knee My heart is hinting, time to lose the subtlety ‘Cause my finger’s cold and feeling lonely But I’m holding (Chorus)

Things To Believe In Merry Christmas, Happy New Year Did you get what you wanted? Did the time fly, did it go by Was it slower than sunsets I grew older just like you We slipped further from our youth Oh the weather, it got warmer I’m not sure where the snow falls And the storm came, washed us away Stole the shore and tore trees down I’ll hang ribbons on my door We’ll sweep needles off the floor Could the science be sufficient When you’re looking for true love I need big things to believe in I need stars over stables Wise men looking to the sky They crossed deserts seeking ancient light We are searching for a saviour But we won’t lay our swords down It’s a new year, it’s not waiting Throw your fears to the ground now Take what you believe, let it go let it breathe Put your hand up to mine, be one for one night Then my love is all I can prove to you
10.
Seine 03:15
Seine And you’re down by the river again, but the stars won’t shine And redemption is lost on your soul, you’re so full of pride Button up all the fears that you hide beneath brass and gold What was holding you down deep inside, we will never know Were there scars on your skin Was there shame under sin You would plunge to the depths With so many questions left The children who fell in the street will not make a sound When the water that brought you to life finally takes you down What’s lost in the river will someday be found You would follow the law of the land never turning back But it’s breaking like looking glass can with a single crack When the compass inside is a lie and you turn around And the enemy stands by your side to help you out What was once black is white What was once wrong is right And your feet start to slip As the ground starts to give The children who fell in the street will not make a sound When the water that brought you to life finally takes you down What’s lost in the river will someday be found
11.
Plain Man 03:30
Plain Man The ink spills, the forms fill And the week will pass Enter your data into files that don’t matter Time starts to scatter, and you can’t get it back I don’t want to stay in this room in one place While the wallpaper fades and the pipes rust away I slowed down long enough for you to catch me I stood still to wait for you, well I’m still waiting When will things improve? When are we going to move? I am a plain man My bones break too True my ambition falls short of your vision Intentions to live more than you want to do I don’t want to stay in this room in one place While the wallpaper fades and the hair turns to grey I slowed down long enough for you to catch me I stood still to wait for you, well I’m still waiting When will things improve? When are we going to move?
12.
Misunderstood I’m done with all the arguing Because you don’t bring anything to the table I press my shoulders back But I cannot control the madness Finally I’ll fly ahead of you I’ll let go and be misunderstood You grab on like you always do This time you’ll be right, and I’ll Be gone for good I’m tired of the sick charade and past the point where you persuade. Who is holy? Remember when you made me half Then you were my better half, it’s over There are no more paths to pursue (Chorus) The daughter of a scientist Is not a girl that you can twist Into your plans with your words and your hands There’s a chance I can stand on my own On my own (Chorus)
13.
Rogue 03:43
Rogue When you’ve lost time and patience When you’ve gone rogue When all the medication is lost along with everyone you know It’s time for celebration You’re on your way You’ve broken boundaries And there’s no change without growing pains Stop listening to the ghosts Who only ever tell you “no, no, no” ‘Cause when you look at them you’ll just see through They’re just prisoners of empty rooms You’ve got your education You’re on display You’re searching every star, but what you find Won’t fit inside a frame It’s just a generation That passed the hate When they attack, baby don’t turn back They won’t haunt you for long You’ve got to be strong, be brave (Chorus)
