Lyrics:
The walls have grown so tired of me
You say I’ve ruined everything
But there’s so much more I need
So won’t you please
Come take off all your petals and just
Tell me blue eyed daisy
If he loves me not
Cause he took the Sun and Earth away
Crying for him every day
Cause I’m just a soul, you see
and my heart’s in need
Of magic from the flowers so tell me
Blue eyed daisy
If he loves me
Cause you could make the sadness go away
So tell me if he loves me
Or loves me not

Lyrics
What’s the price of being born to feel a deeper love?
Touch ya heart to flame
Why you sensitive?
It’s getting heavy as a boot over a baby bug.
Shorty shut the shutters down cause out there where the trouble is
Ever since you hit the hatch and stepped in this predicament
it’s sorta like the light was blue and every filthy filament
And if nobody understands it, it must be insignificant or something crooked in your head, how dare you be so different?
Melancholy done made a way, even when you acting brave
You could hardly find the heart it takes for you to swim in it
Until it has you paralyzed and you can’t lift a ligament
And all that you can do is hope for time and space to feel me lift
but where am I going?
Why should I leave?
I’m only here to hold you down
Embrace the energy and breathe
I will never tell you lies
Or build you up on empty dreams
Fill your heart with all the hopes
All you ever need is me
I can keep you nice and warm
If you just give me everything
Let it go and go to sleep
Go to sleep
so now I’m wondering how I did I get to this point right here?
I tried to stay closed off but somehow you made ya way near
into my heart and it’s clear that you won’t stop
remaining in my thoughts & dreams, preying on my sanity
my willingness to give in to other sources of romantic love
a ghost of my past, but now my present self is trippin
Like dang girl how you mess up on this mission
to define & find love? it’s time you find some
You wouldn’t ever have known that
We could be feeling so bold
wrecking out lives for another sensual and satisfying moment
But shoot it’s worth it, let's come and repurpose
this situationship and turn it into
something much deeper
You tryna be free?
I promise with me
You’ll feel all the things
that you've been longing for
I know the Sky is Falling down,
But not for much longer, no
You’ve got to give into ya love
Give into the dream
Hope & pray that
You’ll recover from
all the negativity
Sky is falling down
But don't you let those tears
keep you down, down

Lyrics
There is trouble in my rear view
And there’s danger straight ahead.
And I thought I would keep going
Til I see something that read:
“We’ll accommodate your journey.
With a shelter and a bed yeah.
You can face your fate tomorrow.
Though it’s probably what you fled.”
So I rang a bell for rescue and a man came up to me.
He asked the reason for my visit,“We might have a vacancy.”
I said “Sir, could you just take me? I I just really need some sleep.”
Then he took my bag and told me,“You will carry what you keep.”
And when I close my eyes
I'm blind but know where I can find
I'm coming back, I'm on my way to you
Let's leave it open wide
Risk everything to come inside
You know that I will give myself to you
If this love only last us the nighttime
We'll pretend it never fades into the
Open my eyes, it fades into the day
Oh, every time it fades away
Does it have to be this way?
If curtains were my savior,
I would pray within my dreams.
If a dream could last forever,
I’d remain between the sheets.
If these sheets could cloak and cleanse me,
Couldn’t even cleanse themselves.
They are respite for a night
Until they rest somebody else.
I will dream until the morning—
Dream that morning never comes.
Until then I’ll rest my head
Before I head into the sun.
I don’t know just where I’m going.
But I know I need to sleep
I just wish I didn’t have to
Carry everything I keep.
And then I realize
I'm blind, but I feel safe inside
I wish that I could run away from you
But when I'd feel your fire,
I'd end up right beside you there
I wish I never gave myself to you
But we can just escape into the nighttime
And pretend the feeling never goes away
But every time it fades into the day
Oh, it forever fades away
I guess it has to be this way

Lyrics
You say you gave me your everything
But everything was nothing at all
And now you want your name on a plaque next to my heart
And your banner hung across my walls
Even if you gave me just a penny for my every thought
I’d calculate the difference as a debit to myself and stop your contributions to my heart
I never wanted nothing from you
But everything meant something
And every time I have to undo it all amounts to nothing
Now I don’t need no charity with nothing for myself
Devastated,
It hit me like a hurricane
Tears flooding down
Til they permeate the ground.
And when I wanted shelter,
Couldn’t give me no relief.
Just disaster that you’d twist and turn around.
A squall for my sorrow
Please sweep away the talking town
Would you come to my rescue when my heart can barely swim,
Or just look the other way until I drown?
I never wanted nothing from you
But everything meant something
And every time I have to undo it all amounts to nothing
Now I don’t need no charity with nothing for myself
Talk to em' Isaiah
*Sax Solo*
I never wanted nothing from you
But everything meant something
And every time I have to undo it amounts to nothing
Now I don’t need no charity with nothing for myself

Lyrics
Every time you go
I wonder how this could happen
Cause every time I've known
You'd be gone by the morning
Everywhere I go
I see your face, like a blossom
And every where I go you could soon be forgotten
Will i ever know the way say good morning?
Will I ever know the softness of your smile?
Guess I'll just keep crooning
Like a fool
Every time you go
I wonder how this could happen
Cause every time I've known
You'd be gone by the morning
Everywhere I go
I see your face, like a blossom
And every where I go you could soon be forgotten
Will i ever know the way say good morning?
Will I ever know the softness of your smile?
Guess I'll just keep crooning
Like a fool

Lyrics
There are so
many places, so many things
that remind me of you
giving me blues, all day long
putting me in
my feelings to write this song
Why do you this?
I don’t wanna go through this
heartbreak again
Over and over again I’ve tried
all the pain that I gain from the shame of your shadow in my life
I tried to ignore, I said I tried to ignore all the signs that keep
Pointing back to you
time after time after time mhm
I get so, I get so
Weak in the knees while I think of you
Baby baby baby baby baby baby
Whatever will I do? Whatever will I do
If I can’t come back to you
Oh my, oh my, oh my baby
I’m losing my mind, losing my time
To recover
Oh, this dangerous loving
It’s crazy I’m buggin
This time that I’m tryna rewind
All My memories that have gone by
At this point,
I'm just gone have to give up myself to you baby
Here ya go,
That's me on a platter,
You are served, breakfast lunch and dinner
(Fade out)
