watching as the fire consumes us waiting, praying for the rain i want to help but i feel helpless like there’s nothing i can change who am i when i’m not giving who am i when i receive how am can i just keep on living watching others as they bleed i know that i’m supposed to see a light right there in front of me but i see only darkness up ahead i know that i’m supposed to find someway to keep me peace of mind but i fear the only peace i’ll find is death watching as the clock is ticking waiting, praying for relief, I can feel my conscience slipping as I fade back in to sleep i know that i’m supposed to fight I know that none of this is right but I can barely stand on my two feet i want to be your heroine I want to love my home again but this burlesques reveals no part for me Just what am i supposed to do When lies have gone and murdered truth When hearts cannot be heard over the screams The ghost of our democracy is not enough to comfort me And if I must, I’ll fight to live my dream

Lily was a good girl, she wore white cotton lace Never did you see her without a smile on her face She was marrying an artist with a heart of gold She loved him for his smile and the stories that he told Lorelei, her sister, wasn't such a pleasant dame She wore dark sunglasses and laughed at those in pain She saw Lily's fiancee waiting for her by the stairs Stripped him in a second, and danced away without a care Lorelei, my love Lorelei, my love I could never love you like the pain you cause does. The fiancee was a wreck from that day on, or so I hear Just waiting for a whisper from Lorelei in his ear Lily never knew about the deed her sister did When she tried to kiss him, her fiancee ran and hid Lorelei watched as the scene played before her eyes The smile on her face being her only disguise She sidled up beside him and she said to him sweetly "Isn't it ironic how I've ruined you completely?" Lorelei, my love Lorelei, my love I could never love you like the pain you cause does Lorelei, my love Lorelei, my love I could never love you like the pain you cause does. Lily was a good girl, she wore white cotton lace Never did you see her without a smile on her face She was marrying an artist with a heart so freshly torn By Lorelei, her sister, and the sunglasses she wore.

Pretty girl, pretty girl You're more than just pretty, girl You will take this city, girl You will save the world They will love you for your heart They will love you for your art I'll love you till I fall apart My pretty, pretty girl You can't see it but I know I see it as I watch you grow I pray that time will start to slow I pray the world stands still So I can save this in my head As I tuck you into bed I never want to forget I pray I never will You teach me something every day I watch you dance and watch you play As I wipe your tears away I see you standing tall You are more than what they think Like books are more than pad and ink You're more than just the color pink You can do it all

My light is going out It’s getting darker now I tried to save you all somehow But I can’t save myself I used to be so bright A star among the night Illuminating, I’m alright But now I’ve lost my shine I’ve been drinking poison far too long and deep Barreling desperately towards my eternal sleep I’ve always been there to look before you leap Now I need you to clap if you believe I’ve been afraid to ask But now I’m fading fast And so at longest last I’m reaching for your hand Ive been drinking poison far too sickly sweet desperately trying not to give in to disease I’ve always been there to think before you speak Now I need you to clap if you believe My light is going dim They say power is within So maybe there’s no way to win This game I never wanted to play. You say that it’s poison but it tastes like wine to me I’m just celebrating my continued victory Successfully regretting the truth I’m bound to bleed I need you to clap if you believe

There is a solution With perfect execution Im sure you fought it tooth and nail It is for the best You fellas need some rest Because you’re being so typically male Give me your gun now Sugar just in case Give me your gun I swear that I’ll keep it safe I just can’t trust that you know your place Don’t try to run, the time has come) give me your gun if you ask real nice, there’s a way make it better You just need your wife to send us a formal letter Actually, on second thought, i don’t think you meet the guidelines Have a nice day, sweetheart, hope you have better luck next time Sir, please step aside, there’s no need to raise your voice Yes, I understand, but you do not have a choice You don’t comprehend the consequences of your actions Now hand over your rifle, darlin, And you stop overreacting Give me your gun now Sugar just in case Give me your gun I swear that I’ll keep it safe I just can’t trust that you know your place Don’t try to run,what’s done is done give me your gun

Hey There 02:58
Hey there, pretty boy You don't get to make my choice Hey there, pretty boy Don't you tread on me This has been long time coming And you better speak the truth When you make a deal with the devil He is gonna follow you You can say that we are hunters I guess that makes you the prey You can run but you can't hide now The witches have come out to play Hey there, pretty boy You don't get to take my voice Hey there, pretty boy Don't you tread on me You protect the wolf among you You play blind and grant reprieve But he howls and bites and growls And leaves a trail of bloody sheep You can say that you're our sister But you speak with silver tongues You can't tame a wolf or mister And you'll pay for what you've done Hey there, pretty girl, Watch your step, this ain’t our world Hey there, pretty girl, Don't you tread on me
