I see me as other people see me There is no going back I can't stop feeling now I am not the same, I'm growing up again I am not the same I'm growing up again There's no going back, I can't stop feeling now I had to fantasize I was a princess, Mum and Dad were Queen and King I ought to have what feeling?

Theft, and Wandering Around Lost The man is an offender He took my value And I give back his shame And I take back my power My body is my own My body is mine alone And I deserve protection And I can create it from you Is this what my body said? "Use me, drain me, overwhelm me" Is this what my body said? "Engulf me; I'm already dead" I'll perfectly bluff it Crying shakes it away from you And I am moving to poison love And trying to starve my body My body is my own My body is mine alone And I deserve protection And I can create it from you Is this what my body said? "Use me, drain me, overwhelm me" Is this what my body said? "Engulf me; I'm already dead" Keep cutting myself on the edges of reality, reality (x4) Is this what my body said? "Use me, drain me, overwhelm me" Is this what my body said? "Engulf me; I'm already dead" (Some lines/words courtesy of Leesa Beales.)

My Truth You become powerful and you are accepting And you can work through the pain Or enjoy the pleasure Commit to the work of both If you love all this energy, not chemistry And you can work through the pain Or enjoy the pleasure You can, you can work through the pain Or enjoy the pleasure You can, you can work through the pain And come home to peace It's frightening, exciting Something shakes up your whole understanding The truth is not perfect But it fools and confuses Saying I'm not angry You can, you can work through the pain Or enjoy the pleasure You can, you can work through the pain And come home to peace I remember my secret I'll write it down, and then I'll tell you it It's not harm-free Outside of myself What can save me? You can, you can work through the pain Or enjoy the pleasure You can, you can work through the pain And come home to peace You can work through the pain Or enjoy the pleasure...

Essence I don't have to be specific when I want to have you You had a natural right to be born, to become Because heaven must, at least, become so acceptable to me I'd feel angry had I lost you and can't imagine where you might be Where do baby leaves go when they die? Or why? I do not know... God is a feeling of loving yourself And you're precious to me, don't you know? Stretching arms wrap around tight Loving myself with all my might Where do baby leaves go when they die? Or why? I do not know... God is a feeling of loving yourself And you're precious to me, don't you know? Take a look inside to see See how I am dreaming. A message softly says to me Tells me I'm right
Summerhead My dream dies here with us My tears are run away Our goal, goal Collapsed energy Unblossomed But it pushes, leads And never feeds Shame casts my face Shame casts my face Star isn't star Another blaze Safe, at last seeing my thoughts are in order Safe, whole, and that is why I want to be just what I am Still more treasure Still more gifts The soul-fire's creative thirst Until we grow up It won't free you I'm going for the key Our consciousness don't look away Not my keeper, I'm not a slave Not my keeper, I'm not a slave My truth's not even Even half what it was Safe, at last seeing my thoughts are in order Safe, whole, and that is why I want to be just what I am Safe, at last seeing my thoughts are in order Safe, whole, and that is why I want to be just what I am Safe, at last seeing my thoughts in order Safe, at last Safe, at last seeing my thoughts are in order Safe, whole, and that is why I want to be just what I am Safe, at last seeing my thoughts are in order Safe, whole, and that is why I want to be just what I am (Some lines/words courtesy of Leesa Beales.)	Pur I'm glad you are a girl I'm pleased to know you I liked you for you I'm happy you're growing up Rejection won't lose me Destroy the objective but still survive You are angry and that's okay Forgetful or pretending? Tired, ill or angry or alone? Not sure about what you do What a dutiful goal for me Rejection won't lose me Destroy the objective but still survive You are angry and that's okay Yet I am not afraid of your anger What do you need? What do you want? I love you and I know that You'll figure it out Rejection won't lose me Destroy the objective but still survive You are angry and that's okay Yet I am not afraid of your anger What do you need? What do you want? I love you and I know that You'll figure it out Rejection won't lose me Destroy the objective but still survive You are angry and that's okay Yet I am not afraid of your anger What do you need? What do you want? I love you and I know that You'll figure it out
