You Can't Hurt Me Now

Opposites attract
But they’re not built to last
Drew me in so good
Then wanted to hate you so bad
Didn’t know who I was
Picking the pieces of the floor
Finding the shattered remains
Of who I was before
Whoaaa
Never running out of reasons to cry
Found out too late
Who you really were inside
Now I’m shutting the door
And locking you out
And you can’t hurt me now
(I won’t take another shot!)
No, you can’t hurt me now
You wore down my armor
With the hits you took at me
You were a bad, bad habit
And I had to break free
Whoaaa yeah yeah yeah
Never running out of reasons to cry
Found out too late
Who you really were inside
Now I’m shutting the door
And locking you out
And you can’t hurt me now
(I won’t take another shot!)
No, you can’t hurt me now
Go!
Baby, you and me
We were a broken ship on a troubled sea
Baby, can’t you see
I am the captain now
Get your grip off my wheel
Never running out of reasons to cry
Found out too late
Who you really were inside
Now I’m shutting the door
And locking you out
And you can’t hurt me now
(I won’t take another shot!)
No, you can’t hurt me now
(Come on and give me what you got!)
You can’t hurt me now
(I won’t take another shot!)
No, you can’t hurt me now!

Paint The Mask
03:36
|

Porcelain Doll, painted to perfection
Another stroke with every lie
Belle of the ball, she’s a welcome distraction
From the ashes of what’s left inside
Deep beneath this face I’ve made
Swings the ever turning pendulum of pain
Paint the mask
Make it nice and pretty
Not a scratch
Perfect smile always…
They say, “Hey pretty girl,
How can you feel so scarred,
When you hold everyone’s love
In the palm of your hand?”
This toxic world, clouds the brightest stars
And the weight of this burden has dimmed who I am
The real me drowns in misery
Wasting away in the cell my heart built for me
Paint the mask
Make it nice and pretty
Not a scratch
Perfect smile always
Paint the mask
Don’t let it smear with the tears
Bury your love, your hate, your fears
Paint the mask,
Paint the mask
But I can’t be afraid,
It’s never too late to be free
I’ll burn that veil and watch the pieces fall
My truth is more beautiful
Than a lie could ever be
So no more will I listen when they say to me
“Paint the mask
Make it nice and pretty
Not a scratch
Perfect smile always
Paint the mask
Don’t let it smear with the tears
Bury your love, your hate, your fears”
Paint the mask
(Make it nice and pretty…)
Paint the mask
(Perfect smile always…)
Paint the mask
(Make it nice and pretty…)
Paint the mask
Paint the mask

Internal Divide
03:38
|
|||
So many words stuck inside trying to hide
Don’t want to say the phrase that could break her mind
I thought I knew what I wanted, but I guess I lied
Cuz she devised a crime that made me her design
Do I really wanna live this way?
Being tamed everyday that I misbehave?
(Do I really wanna live this way?)
Am I running towards dreams or catastrophe?
Am I blending my thoughts into insanity?
I feel the heat that’s rising inside of me
Something’s wrong, this is my song to sing
Can I go on livin’ this way?
I won’t be the one who never got away
(Can I go on livin’ this way?)
What’s in my heart?
What’s on my mind?
There’s static in the noise
There’s a voice that whispers
In my ear at night
Echoing between the walls in my mind
Threatening my feelings held inside
Creating this internal divide
Shh, I gotta quiet the mania to seek the truth
I finally found my voice in 2022
Took so long to listen, if I only knew
What the power of self-respect could really do
I won’t be bound by the sound of the crowd
Only I get to say who I am now
(only I get to say who I am now)
What’s in my heart?
What’s on my mind?
There’s static in the noise
There’s a voice that whispers
In my ear at night
Echoing between the walls in my mind
Threatening my feelings held inside
Creating this internal divide
I’m losing it, I’m losing it, I’m losing it
To the Voice that whispers in my ear at night
Echoing between the walls in my mind
Threatening my feelings held inside…
There’s a voice that whispers
In my ear at night
Echoing between the walls in my mind
Threatening my feelings held inside
Creating this internal divide
(Gotta ask myself if it’s me or them
Whose way will I take all the way to the end
If I choose you, I’m gonna lose again
I shouldn’t be the one that always has to bend
I won’t be bound by the sound of the crowd
Only I get to say who I am now)
Ten thousand voices can’t make me comply
I’m familiar with these thoughts
But they aren’t mine
All their words make a verse that doesn’t rhyme
It’s time I decided my Interval Divide

Fall With You
04:28
|
|||
There’s something about the way you look at me
Something about the way we laugh
I tell myself, “girl you’ve been there before,”
But I can’t shake this feeling I have
You reach out your hand
Calling out from the other side
And I get closer every second
To crossing that line
I want to step over the edge
And fall with you
I want to step over the edge
I want to fall
Fall with you
There’s something about the way your hair flows
Something about that charming smile
But I’ve been down this road before
And now my heart is back on trial
You reach out your hand
Calling out from the other side
And I get closer every second
To crossing that line
I want to step over the edge
And fall with you
I want to step over the edge
I want to fall
Fall with you
Long ago I found a home
At the end of my morality
Lied to myself saying I’d never be back
Now I’m walking on the thin line
Between like and love, oohh
And I want to give in so bad
You reach out your hand
Calling out from the other side...
I want to step over the edge
And fall with you
I want to step over the edge
I want to fall,
I want to fall
I want to step over the edge
I want to cross the line with you
I want to hold your hand
I want to fall
Fall with you

Gold

Shapeshifting in the sand
You’ll never see me as I am
Putting on my headdress, to appease you
A smiling face in the light
But I am haunted every night
Forgetting what I once, held on to
The writing’s on the wall
You see me shine
You see me glow
But the hieroglyphics tell the tales of old
All that glitters
All that glitters isn’t gold
I want to run from my demise
But I’m a goddess in your eyes
A heretic too blind to see the truth
You claim it’s destiny
While I disguise my misery
I can’t let you know
I’m bleeding out for you
The writing’s on the wall
You see me shine
You see me glow
But the hieroglyphics tell the tales of old
All that glitters
All that glitters isn’t gold
My wounds have not been sewn
I’m falling apart inside
This tomb has been my home
I’m dying to feel alive
You see me shine
You see me glow
The writing’s on the wall…
You see me shine
You see me glow
But the hieroglyphics tell the tales of old
All that glitters
All that glitters
All that glitters isn’t gold

I Wish I Could
03:28
|
|||
I see a faint light,
Reaching to grab the corners of my Bedroom door
It’s the edge of the night,
And I’ve found myself here
Way to many times before
Trying to sort out why
Why did you let me live this lie
I wish I could give you my heart
But I know you’d wreck it
I wish I could give you my trust
But no, not for a second
I wish I could give you my love
But I can’t let you in
I wish I, I wish I could
I wish I could
It’s no longer safe
This winter’s everlasting I feel the bitter cold
Looking for an escape
‘Cause I’m running out of places
I can hide my soul
Trying to stay out of sight
My back can’t take one more knife
I wish I could give you my heart
But I know you’d wreck it
I wish I could give you my trust
But no, not for a second
I wish I could give you my love
But I can’t let you in
I wish I, I wish I could
I wish I could
I wish I knew what you needed
I wish I knew you were bleeding
I wish I could stop you from leaving
I wish I could, I wish I could
I wish, I wish, I… wish… I wish I could
I wish I could give you my heart
But I know you’d wreck it
I wish I could give you my trust
But no, not for a second
I wish I could give you my love
But I can’t let you in
I wish I, I wish I could
I wish I could

Corpses Don't Cry
04:12
|
|||
I’ve been burned by the fires of rage
Frozen by torment and pain
I’ve been stabbed by the sharpest cries
And fooled by the prettiest lies
Thought you buried me alive
There’s nothing left in me to hide
Come at me now I’ve got nothing to lose
No heart to break no blood left to bruise
Hurt me again, go ahead and try
I can’t be broken cuz I’ve already died
And Corpses don’t cry
Corpses don’t cry
I’ve been dragged through so many hells
I’ve made friends with the devil
I used to trust, I once knew fear
But those words mean nothing here
Take a look and say goodbye
You cannot kill me twice
Come at me now I’ve got nothing to lose
No heart to break no blood left to bruise
Hurt me again, go ahead and try
I can’t be broken cuz I’ve already died
And Corpses don’t cry
Corpses don’t cry
Only in total darkness could I finally see
After all the life was squeezed out of me, Yeah, ohhh,
I can finally breathe, yeah!
Come at me now I’ve got nothing to lose
No heart to break no blood left to bruise
Hurt me again, go ahead and try
I can’t be broken cuz I’ve already died
And Corpses don’t cry
Corpses don’t cry
Corpses don’t cry
Corpses don’t cry
