ANA10713 Patterns

Oh, what a waste of all that time.
I chose you. You were mine.
Now, I, I took notice
How you kept slammin’ the door

Pre Chorus
If you’d open up then you could get better,
Or you could keep it up and repeat your patterns.
If you’d open up then you could get better,
Or you could keep it up and repeat your patterns.

Chorus
I’m not really sure of anything at all
Ooh, it was a role I made for ya, your truth ain’t necessarily mine
I tend to not want any if I can’t have it all
I’m letting go of answering to ya so I can answer to myself.

Challenge you rightly, yes I will.
I don’t see the point in anything else

Pre Chorus
If you’d open up then you could get better.
Or you could keep it up and repeat your patterns.

Chorus

Pre Chorus/Bridge
If I’d let it go then I could get better.
When I’m holding on I’m repeating patterns!

Chorus x2

ANA10708 Bull Rider

Daddy I wanna be a bull rider
I’d give my right arm just to see ya
Daddy, It’s time for me to get over
you said you’re coming back but you are not coming back

Honey i need for you to see through me
I can’t really tell but I might be bluffin’
Honey you’re gonna have to renew my
My well’s gone dry and i can’t feel nothin’

(chorus)

Oh when my baby cries and i’m
Ooh feelin’ helpless
I’ve gotta make a run and go get my own forever
Oh, and I sympathize but it’s
oh, it’s overwhelming
I’ve gotta make a run and go find my own forever
ever ever ever ever….

Baby i wanna be a ring leader
I’ve ground my strength and I’m gonna wield it
I see no reason to keep pretending
I’m gonna run and you can feel it

Chorus again

ANA10707 Banshee

Oooh, lady of my life you run me around
Oooh, wailing in the night like a banshee mother I’m
crippled and tired, lonely and wired
lady will you haunt me again and again?
Again and again

Shakin by a stubborn hand he tried to master me
Only I can take this man and bring him to his knees
Oooh smearing all my makeup, tears threaten to break up all that I believe

Oooh, lady of my life you run me around
Oooh, wailing in the night like a banshee mother I’m
crippled and tired, lonely and wired
lady will you haunt me again and again?
Again and again

Channeled my hypocrisy to forcing’ me to leave
Nothing will become of me if I don’t get out
pooh, running with my bare feet, long dark braids behind me
the screaming earth beneath me

Oooh, lady of my life you run me around
Oooh, wailing in the night like a banshee mother I’m
willing and wild, filled with desire
lady will you guide me again and again?
Again and again

oooooooohs

Settled down upon a hill in a cabin broken down
flowers in my painted vase and memories abound
ooooh, standing at my window, curtains blow and billow,
moonlight on my naked breast

Oooh, lady of my life you run me around
Oooh, wailing in the night like a banshee mother I’m
ready, inspired, wholly on fire
lady you ignite me again and again
Again and again

ANA10706 Aint No Good To Myself

Oooh, you love me
babe, you say but its not shown
I throw myself back in that hole
Ooh, then I met a man
And he pulled me in the fire
I get a little bit of that and I go crazy
I get so crazy
The last thing I need is to tie myself to one like me

(Chorus 1)

And, ooh, it’s not my pride
I know you’re thinkin’ that
Child, you’re on my losin’ side and I want no one in the world to know I’ve got it

Oooh, you burned me
and it spun me around
Honey, mama said to me you’ve gotta shake it off
Ooh, then I met a man
And we both come from the fire
Now and then he helps me out when I get a little lazy
I get a little lazy
And i seem to go in a dark whole with myself along

(chorus 2)

And, ooh, it’s not my pride
I know you’re thinkin’ that
Child, you’re on my losin’ side and I want no one in the world to know I’ve got it
I put that fear inside a bag, inside a box
and deep within a wall inside my closet

(Bridge)

Aint no good to myself …….

(Chorus 3)

And, ooh, it’s not my pride
I know you’re thinkin’ that
Child, I’ve got a losin’ side and I’ll expose it to the weather and the water
I take my fear, unwrap it and I show it off so everybody knows that I’m a liar

ANA10712 Mess Things Up

And I wait for this just to beg to let go
OOoh, I”m spinning I’ve tortured myself again
Oh, and you aren’t something I really want

And I know what did it, rhythm rules my body
Oh, and darlin’ you had a real nice beat
Ooh, now look I’m wrapped in your melody

(Chorus)

And now I’m afraid of love
and you’re the one I’m blaming’ cause
I wanna believe that I can leave
But I just can’t get enough
If I tried to I might see that I’m the one breaking me
But now I’ve got a mind to mess things up

And it feels like I’ve been frozen under the ground
I need strong hands to come and dig me out
And I forget who’s got them you or me

(chorus)

ANA10709 Clarity

Feels like I’ve been led by limitation
You’ve got nothing but complaints to offer
And I’ve got love right here for you.
But I’m not gonna slow down for you.
‘Cause I’ve got love right here for you.

I wrang my hands flanked by imitators
Now it seems I’ve finally found my water
And I get overwhelmed with lovin’ you.
I must admit I kind of miss longing for you.

(Chorus)

Now you can see that I’ve been burned before
‘Cause you can feel it with my hands on you.
Was it you that led me to the door?
And will you hold it while I’m walkin’ through?
All the clarity I’m feelin’ now
Do I owe it all to you?
Or am I finally getting off the ground?

And I get overwhelmed with lovin’ you.
I must admit I kind of miss longing for you.

(Chorus)

Now you can see that I’ve been burned before
‘Cause you can feel it with my hands on you.
Was it you that led me to the door?
And will you hold it while I’m walkin’ through?
All the clarity I’m feelin’ now
Do I owe it all to you?
Or am I finally getting off the ground?

ANA10711 I Want You

In a little I’ll be off somewhere cryin’
Oh, I’m not sure if i can be alone
your deceit is what it is but I’m not buying
I know you

Come to find I wasn’t designed to deal with feelings like this
I’m pressed tight in a book like a flower and I’m longing
In a little I’ll be shaking with my hands around your fingers
I can’t see anything but

You, I want you
I want you
I want you

You can probably tell by now i’m lying
when I say that you don’t hurt me no more ooooh
Your deceit is what it is but in your eyes

Shortly I’ll be out of my mind again
I keep searching but i can’t seem to find anything
my bed holds me like a tomb in the morning
I cling to the shadows in my cold, dark room cause I want

You I want you
I want you
I want you

ooooooooohs

Shortly I’ll be out of my mind again
I keep searching but i can’t seem to find anything
my bed holds me like a tomb in the morning
I cling to the shadows in my cold, dark room cause I want

You I want you
I want you
I want you

ooooooooohs

ANA10710 Fragile Youth

Hey, get a load of me won’t you stay, keep me company
I belong to nowhere, help me out
I could comb your long hair, run you around

Oooh, imagine how i’ll get nice and helpless around you
there’s a feathered halo in my dreams of you

Hey, all those words.
We filter through endless words all loaded and dispersed
i get awful cocky with myself
no one’s gonna break me, I know that well

Ooooh, imagine how i’ll get nice and helpless around you
oooooh, turning all my lies to truth

hey, put me down.
cause, lord knows how i love groveling around
I get mighty fearful I’ll get lost
wild and untethered I slip through some small crack and not return

Oooh, imagine how I’ll get nice and helpless around you
ooooh, turn to face my fragile youth

ANA10738 We Create

Vs. 1:
Hold onto me
I know how it feels to be following behind.
Will you take my hand?
I’d like to pretend that all this chaos goes in a straight line.

Pre-chorus:
Holy water, holy wine
I turn off my imagination
Holy water, holy wine

Chorus:
Oh, but in a world away he’s tangled up with me
And oh, the orbit we create, I’m spinning through it
While the world comes falling down.

Vs. 2:
Can we let it be?
I hate to explain why I circle all the time.
Let me breathe you in.
I’d like to unhinge from all the trappings placed on my spine.

Pre-chorus:
Holy water, holy wine
I let it make a transformation.
Holy water, blew my mind.

Chorus:
Oh, but in a world away he’s tangled up with me
And oh, the orbit we create, I’m spinning through it
While the world comes falling down.
Now it’s getting easier in life to just pretend
That we’re the only ones feeling.
Ooh, I don’t know
Oooh, I don’t know.

ANA10739 Animal

(verse 1)

I’m irrational, it’s true.
If you didn’t know it now you do.
And it’s high time we got here.
I’m not going anywhere
But I keep having this fear

(Chorus 1)

Don’t wanna waste my time goin’ through the motions
Don’t wanna feel like I’m always foldin’
Don’t wanna waste my time goin’ through the motions
Don’t wanna drag through life without good lovin.’

(verse 2)

I’m an animal it’s true
Then again babe, so are you
And it’s not like I’m not scared
People fall apart everywhere
But as long as you’re still here

(chorus 2)

Not gonna waste my time goin’ through the motions
Not gonna rut it out with who I’m holdin’
Take me with you, I’ve got it bad
I’m not sleepin’ anymore

(bridge)

You will wake up feelin’ restless, me too.
We’ll go out and turn it on.
You lit a fire in me, you lit a fire in me.

(chorus 3)

Not gonna waste my time goin’ through the motions
Not gonna drag through life without good lovin’
Take me with you, we’ve got it bad
I’m not sorry anymore.
Take me with you, we’ve got it bad
I’m not sorry anymore.

Not gonna drag through life without good lovin’ no no no…..

ANA10740 It's A Feeling

(verse 1)

Look at is sitting there curled up in my old spot
Does it make me feel inspired?
I don’t know what I want and I get pushed around a lot
I guess I wandered far away.

I don’t know what I care
I think I’ve finally moved on
And now I’m certain that’s not a lie

(Pre-chorus 1)

Oh, but it’s a feeling I thought I’d never have

(verse 2)

I can’t control my mind
I spin and I get lost in it
A song, a word, a passing phrase
Can through me off my game
But I can give you all of it if you’re sure that’s what you need

I don’t know what I care
I don’t need to love at all
I know it’s easier on my friends

(Pre-chorus 2)

Oh, but it’s a feeling I know I can’t escape
We’ve pulled back the veil now
Of where I stood just saving face

(Chorus)

Oh, what do you know I’m overthinking it again
Oh, out of control now I’ll hold onto anything
You’re here for the show
So much for saving face
I’m just getting older
Let’s go back to how it

Felt when I woke up and I was yours
But I was also mine still
I’m trippin’ everytime I see a ghost
I guess you do that too.

Let’s go back to how it felt when I woke up and I was yours….

ANA10742 Right Now

(verse 1)

You, you what you’ve done to me
I, I just can’t
Stop this thinking it’s temporary
Everytime I sit down to write it out

(Chorus 1)

And all I wanna say is
Oooh you’re all I think about
I’m finally into just being alone now
And I’m afraid I’ll give you all my time
But I can’t keep from thinkin’ you
You’ve always been around
I guess we’ll take our time, learn what it looks like
But I can tell you how it feels right now

(verse 2)

The truth, the truth is I’ve been misleading
I, I can’t take that back.
So are you ready for the ride while we figure it out, baby?
Cause everytime I sit down to write it out

(Chorus 1)

And all I wanna say is
Oooh you’re all I think about
I’ve gotten used to you holding me like that
And I know I can’t give you all my time
But I can’t keep from thinkin’ you
You’ve always been around
I guess we’ll take our time, learn what it looks like
But I can tell you how it feels right now

X2

ANA10737 Toe To Toe

Toe to toe
I propose we go ahead with what
You had said
Pretend it’s not there then I’ll be
Turning circles, circles in my room again

Was it not something more than temporary
Had I known that
I would not have gotten so close
Exposed all of it
Only for you to pull back

(Chorus 1)

What do you care?
As long as I’m still here
What do you care?
You’re drunk, I’ll answer it
What do you care?
Oooooh

(Verse 2)

You’re telling me
Who I am and what I’ve become
Guess thats what you’d see
How am I defend against it?
Now I’m choking on a worse version of me

(Chorus 2 x2)

But what do you care?
You’ll call me when you’re free
What do you care?
I’ll turn the other cheek
What do you care?
Oooooh

ANA10741 Let You In

(verse 1)

Look at all the time I’ve spent
Circling around to prove I’m trying
This fragile home I’ve built
Gives with the weight of what you’re needing
The woman I’ve become
Has given in at times to pleading
But this little room in here
Houses the girl that I’m protecting

(chorus 1)

And oooh, she’s magic
And oooh, you’ll catch wind of it
And you’ll hear her singing
But I can’t let you in

(verse 2)

To prove I’m strong enough
I’ll oblige the games you’re playing
I’ll have a laugh cued up
So you don’t have to feel rejected
I remember looking back
Hoping to find the friend I’d wanted
Oh no, not even that
An empty frame where he’d been standing

(chorus 2)

And oooh, it’s tragic
And oooh, you’ll catch wind of it
And you’ll hear me crying
But I can’t let you in
And you’ll see my trying
But I can’t let you in
