STORM
Written by Michelle Creber
Guess what, I'm done with you
And your psychopathic, idiotic attitude
Get lost, you won't be missed
It's beyond impossible for us to coexist
Man, I used to have respect for you
I used to think the best of you
And maybe I'm the reason that you're so worked up
But I can't afford to deal with this
And if you're not gonna leave then I’m a lose my grip
Say my senses have gone hazy
Do you own a mirror, crazy
Now what's your cause, what's your gain
When you come raining over my parade
The forecast here was sunny and clear
Before you whirled in like a hurricane
God you're so temperamental, though I'm sentimental
It feels like I'll never wanna see you again
So take your stormy weather to somebody else
To somebody else, to somebody else, to somebody else
Guess what, I'm happy now
But you’re swimming in denial cause you don't like how
I'm rid of all your chains
I praise that I unlocked them every single day
Man, I used to really look up to you
I'll wish the best of luck to you
With no complaining, understating all my hate
But last thing, gotta say, I'm quite impressed with
How good you got at turning ordered minds into mess
You had such control over me
Watch as I let go entirely
Now what's your cause, what's your gain
When you come raining over my parade
The forecast here was sunny and clear
Before you whirled in like a hurricane
God you're so temperamental, though I'm sentimental
It feels like I'll never wanna see you again
So take your stormy weather to somebody else
To somebody else, to somebody else, to somebody else
It's sad how much irony is laced
In the fabric of all results you face
Panicking and acting on the fear of losing me
Was the very thing that made it be
So what was your cause, and what was your gain
When you came raining over my parade
The forecast here was sunny and clear
Before you whirled in like a hurricane
You were so temperamental, though I'm sentimental
It feels like I'll never wanna see you again
So take your stormy weather to somebody else
Now what was your cause, and what was your gain
When you came raining over my parade
The forecast here was sunny and clear
Before you whirled in like a hurricane
You were so temperamental, though I'm sentimental
It feels like I'll never wanna see you again
So take your stormy weather to somebody else
To somebody else, to somebody else, to somebody else

ELECTRICITY
Written by: Michelle Creber
I’ve held back my words
Dangled them over the edge
But never dove in
Well I’ve tried subtle things
Wonder how obvious they’ve been
Out of clues to give
‘Cause I’m having trouble
Receiving your signals
The wires are crossed
As everybody’s eyes are on us
Pretty soul, beautiful angel
I’ve been so
Deep in love and buried in unknown ground
And I think you’ve figured it out
It’s temporary torture and I know I’ll get over it
I’ll stay a friend, but
Tell me maybe I won’t have to
When you focus in on me
Can you feel that electricity
Don’t be afraid
There’s nothing those lips could say
To push this soul away
You’ll never lose me
I’m yours entirely
Whatever that means
Friends or everything
But I’m having trouble
Receiving your signals
The wires are crossed
As everybody’s eyes are on us
Pretty soul, beautiful angel
I’ve been so
Deep in love and buried in unknown ground
And I think you’ve figured it out
It’s temporary torture and I know I’ll get over it
I’ll stay a friend, but
Tell me maybe I won’t have to
When you focus in on me
Can you feel that electricity
Pretty soul, beautiful angel
I’ve been so
Deep in love and buried in unknown ground
And I think you’ve figured it out
It’s temporary torture and I know I’ll get over it
I’ll stay a friend, but
Tell me maybe I won’t have to
When you focus in on me
Can you feel that electricity
Focus in on me
Can you feel that electricity
Focus in on me
Can you feel that electricity

LIKE IT NEVER HAPPENED
Written by Michelle Creber
Letters and cards
Remnants of
An era that I
Failed to hide from myself
Buried inside
Boxes on my
Old bed I find
Every now and then to cry
Thought I’d let go
Thought I’d moved on
But I’m mourning, more than
I can handle
It’s been so long
But it’s still hard
To accept that I can’t
Have you in my life
Better lock this up in a song
Like it never really happened at all
Like it never really happened at all
Like it never really happened at all
Photos of us
Well they go back for miles and miles and miles and
Love and laughter was all that they captured
And now I’m panicked, what happened
Wanna revise this
Can I rewrite us
Thought I’d let go
Thought I’d moved on
But I’m mourning, more than
I can handle
It’s been so long
But it’s still hard
To accept that I can’t
Have you in my life
Better lock this up in a song
Should’ve burned this box when I had the chance
When my anger hadn’t turned into sadness yet
Well I was sure this was for the best
And I guess it still is
I’m just having a relapse
A moment of regret
Thought I’d let go
Thought I’d moved on
But I miss you, in truth
I hope you miss me too
Thought I’d let go
Thought I’d moved on
But I’m mourning, more than
I can handle
It’s been so long
But it’s still hard
To accept that I can’t
Have you in my life
Better lock this up in a song
‘Cause to fess up now would be wrong
I’ll put the box back where it belongs
Like it never really happened at all

LIGHTHOUSE
Written by: Michelle Creber
Selfless to a fault
Mending other hearts
While yours beats steady in the dark
So self-critical
Stubborn, logical
Emotions never get a thought
Soak in the sadness
Of oceans you’re fixing
They’re windy and broken
But your waves also need settling
Lighthouse, lighthouse
Looking out for everyone else
Shine some, shine some
Light on yourself, light on yourself
Just relax now, the boats won’t crash
So lighthouse, lighthouse
Shine that light on yourself
Beacon of hope
On the edge of the coast
Is always turning for someone
It must be tough
Though you’re inspiring
And we’re all admiring
Every good deed
Many good deeds you have done
Windy and broken
Your own waves also need a little attention
Lighthouse, lighthouse
Looking out for everyone else
Shine some, shine some
Light on yourself, light on yourself
Just relax now, the boats won’t crash
So lighthouse, lighthouse
Shine that light on yourself
Winding stairs that need repair
Wooden doors hidden on a thousand floors
Endless complicated corridors
That I can navigate most of the time
‘Cause they’re just like mine
Lighthouse, lighthouse
Shine some, shine some
Light on yourself
Lighthouse, lighthouse
Looking out for everyone else
Shine some, shine some
Light on yourself, light on yourself
Just relax now, the boats won’t crash
So lighthouse, lighthouse
Shine that light on yourself
Shine that light on yourself
Go on and shine that light on yourself

FALSE EMPIRE
Written by: Michelle Creber
Mindless, weak and small
Mercenary fraud
Broke all moral laws
To earn reward for bad behavior
Well honey you better learn your lies, lie lie lies
Been ruling a false empire, lie lie liar
Lie lie liar, lie lie la dee dah...
Fueled by fear and crime
Checkers in chess by hopping the mess
And working the ladder by stepping on any head
Power is divine
Spoil the rich, ignoring the poor
I pity the soul who’d remain in defense of you
Stole yourself a mound of riches, buy yourself a heart
Well honey you better learn your lies, lie lie lies
You’ve been ruling a false empire, lie lie liar
And when you gotta testify
There’ll be no alibis
To get you through this fire
Lie lie liar, lie lie liar
Lie lie la dee dah...
You’re gonna hear a knock knock knock
On your golden doors
And then a stomp, stomp on your marble floors
We’re gonna find the rebels, find find the rebels
Then we’ll fight together, fight fight together
‘Cause you know revolution is a given here
You thought that we’re gonna take this
We’re gonna make this
Easy for you to walk all over us
No we’re the rebels, we’re we’re the rebels
And we’ll fight together, fight fight together
When you are on your own
Well honey you better learn your lies, lie lies
You’ve been ruling a false empire, lie lie liar
And when you gotta testify
There’ll be no alibis
And we’ll set your words on fire
Lie lie liar

I BUILT YOU A SANDCASTLE
Written by: Michelle Creber
I built you a sandcastle
One night in July
It might have been summer then
But unlike the skies, you had lost your light and
I wanted to fix things
Find some kind of structure
Clouded eyes, you sat there as I gathered the sand
Then that wave washed it back
I made you a paper airplane
Claimed I was the pilot
That I could fly you anywhere
But you were so damn scared
You tied yourself to the runway
A speckle on the concrete and
I wanted to fix things
Find what you were missing
Clouded eyes, you sat there as I flew out of sight
Still waiting on my descent
What happened
Where did you go
My old friend
I’m on the lookout
But I’m not sure
If there’s anything more I can do
I thought I could fix things
Find something that’d lift you
I tried but you never really wanted to change
I made you a paper airplane
You chose to stay
I built you a sandcastle
It washed away

WELCOME TO REALITY
Written by: Michelle Creber
Check off that box, Monday is done
Morning is far away from us
Next thing you know, Wednesday got lost
Thursday was just as forgetful
Friday we’re stuck
Is it the end of the world or just another bad day
I’m not counting the cards on it either way
So we screwed up this round, well I’m redealing them
Until they say we’ll be ok
‘Cause we’ve got no choice but to stay
Welcome to reality
Wrapped up in when, hollow with how
So often like why should I even care at all
Life waits for end, wonder if you and time are still friends
It feels like every week all the answers you need
Run farther from reach
You say to me is it the end of the world or just another bad day
Don’t be counting the cards on it either way
So ya screwed up this round, well I’m redealing them
Until they say you’ll be ok
‘Cause you’ve got no choice but to stay
Welcome to reality
Welcome to you, welcome to me
Welcome to them, we’re all stuck with the same hand
Is it the end of the world or just another bad day
I’m not counting the cards on it either way
So we screwed up this round, well I’m redealing them
Until they say we’ll be ok
‘Cause we’ve got no choice but to stay
And no, it’s not the end of the world, it’s just another bad day
And that lucky hand is coming your way
So don’t be afraid while I’m redealing when
They’re gonna say you’ll be ok
Stay patient to win it all someday
I know they’re gonna say we’ll be ok
‘Cause we’ve got so much time to play
Welcome to reality

LET ME IN
Written by: Michelle Creber
I’ve been such a mess
A certified wreck
The devil in my head
Has a ready servant
You’ve been more than I deserve
Your light offering an easy cure
Let me in, let me love
Let me be there you say
I’m sorry baby
I don’t wanna see you
Don’t wanna be healing that way
It’s so unfair to your heart
And I’m scared of myself
Venom in my words
Foul intentions
I wanna hurt me so I hurt you
And that’s my backwards truth
But nobody ever matters more
And my devil knows so before
She poisons your soul, just go
Let me in, let me love
Let me be there you say
I’m sorry baby
I don’t wanna see you
Don’t wanna be healing that way
It’s so unfair to your heart
And I’m scared of myself
Because I’m destructive, I’m toxic
I’m obsessive, I can’t let you in right now
Gotta pull myself out
Won’t accept that easy cure
Don’t offer any more
I know you mean so well but listen
I’ll need withdrawal, just to relearn
How to be more than tears and dark thoughts again
This is not who I am
Let me in, let me love
Let me in, let me love
Let me in, let me love
Let me be there you say
I’m sorry baby
I don’t wanna see you
Don’t wanna be healing that way
Let me in, let me love
Let me help

CARRY ON
Written by Michelle Creber
Why don’t I give in
Why don’t I give up
You wonder, would anyone notice
What do I live for
What do I have now to show my worth
You get so low there friend
Carry on, baby you are loved
When you wanna fall
Just stay strong
‘Cause hope is never far gone
What if we gave in
What if we gave up before the miracles
Tables turn you know
You may in live vain
You may suffer every single day
But there is a choice to make
Carry on, baby you are loved
When you wanna fall
Just stay strong
‘Cause hope is never far gone
We have heart, we have mind
We have soul, and there is time
There is death, but you are life
Please carry on
I know you are strong
When you wanna fall
Remember who you love
‘Cause they will miss you if you’re gone

SO NICE
Written by: Michelle Creber
Finally, I’ve found peace
In this big, busy world
That’s been overwhelming me
I’m tuning in
To every positive
Even simple things
Like water and oxygen
So nice, so nice, what a great life, alright
So right, so right, feeling alive
Here’s to the keeper of my heart
And here’s to my mama and my pops
Cheers to wonderful friends
Even the ones who came and left
It was all for the best
Isn’t it nice, so nice, what a great life
And isn’t it so right, so right, I’m feeling alive
Now I’d like to thank the worst of times
For giving me this new perspective
Hard to believe I’m smiling again
The storm is settling
So nice, so nice, what a great, crazy beautiful life
And isn’t it so right, so right, I’m feeling alive
Oh and it’s so nice, so nice, what a great life
And isn’t it so right, so right, I’m feeling alive
So nice, so nice

CROSSROADS
Written by: Michelle Creber
Send me off, I leave come morning
I’m going beyond our forest
There’s a pot of gold somewhere I know it
Through the hills I go forth solo
To return the village hero
Miles along I’m met with my first obstacle
I’m at a loss
Compass broken
I’m at a crossroads
Now everything’s uncertain
Wary of the path not chosen
Right or left, I’m left here frozen
Searching for my instincts
And spare courage
But I’m at a loss
Compass broken
I’m at a crossroads
And everything’s uncertain
Don’t you dare go running back home
An empty handed, hollow hero
Just make your next move
I’m at a loss
Compass broken
I’m at a crossroads
And suddenly it’s all so clear
No right or wrong
Only learning
I’m at a crossroads
And every step will take me closer
I’ll return soon
