Music Box 03:32
Music Box When I play the music box, it takes me back to home Ralph the rabbit, myrtle the turtle Makes a lovely fable In a table of two When your magic hands turn things to life In a paintbrush or interface Everything falls into place Chorus: Do you hide in a hardcore shell Or do you keep your head held high? Do you sleep when the thunders roll Where those dreams can’t bother you When I play the music box, it takes me back to home In a cozy house, with a nice meal Raisin cakes or veal When your magic hands turn things to life In a paintbrush or interface Everything falls into place Chorus: Do you hide in a hardcore shell Or do you keep your head held high? Do you sleep when the thunders roll Where those dreams can’t bother you Storm, thunder, rain, fire Piano, paintbrush, interface Storm, thunder, rain, fire Cushions, warm beds, fireplace Chorus: Do you hide in a hardcore shell Or do you stand on the hay? Do you sleep when the thunders roll Where those dreams can’t bother you When I play that music box, it takes me back to home

DON’T HATE MT NAME It’s not a Western name It’s not a women’s name People misspell it I should change my name I should change my name Chorus: Why do you, why do you fucking hate my name? Why do you, why do you fucking hate my name? Why do you, why do you fucking hate my name? Again…… I don’t want to sit with you Because your name is uncool All of the girls at school Don’t want to play with you Chorus: Why do you, why do you fucking hate my name? Why do you, why do you fucking hate my name? Why do you, why do you fucking hate my name? Again…… Chorus: Why do you, why do you fucking hate my name? Why do you, why do you fucking hate my name? Why do you, why do you fucking hate my name? Again…… I’m not Swari, I’m Maria Just like Freddie is not Faroukh Maria Anindyaswari Again!!! I’m a person of color with an exotic name Just get used to it, it is no shame Not gonna buy a Western identity To get approval in society Yeah!!! (Drum solo) Why do you, why do you fucking hate my name? Why do you, why do you fucking hate my name? Chorus: Why do you, why do you fucking hate my name? Why do you, why do you fucking hate my name? Why do you, why do you fucking hate my name? Again…… (Repeat Chorus)

Pink Hair, Blue Tattoo Life starts to get messy When you’re around your big family Telling you what to do Telling you what you should wear You tell me I dress like a hooker in my grandma’s funeral My hair’s a drag, I should change my style I look so emo I might need a big smile Chorus: Pink hair, blue tattoo Everything is up to you You don’t like it, I should remove Oh please, I don’t have time for this! If you don’t understand what I mean I’m gonna do whatever I want to do I got my teeth colored in gold I never do what I’m told You said I should obey Dress like a chick and just pray My God is different from yours He rocks like Lynyrd Skynyrd My heaven is your hell My spike collar does not fit in your party Chorus: Pink hair, blue tattoo Everything is up to you You don’t like it, I should remove Oh please, I don’t have time for this! Pink hair, blue tattoo Everything is up to you You don’t like it, I should remove Oh please, I don’t have time for this! If you don’t understand what I mean I’m gonna do whatever I want to do (spike collar, blue tattoo) I want to be myself (pink hair, gold teeth) I want to be myself (I dress like a hooker) I want to be myself (I’m so emo) I want to be myself

Honeydew kisses Both: Making out in the rainfall, honeydew kisses Making out in the rainfall James: You pushed me hard against the wall Soaking wet with your nightgown on I stroke your hair, and you stroke mine Testing the waters, smelling the pine Both: Maybe it’s true, there’s no one else like you and me Marbee: We stay in bed as the rain pours, We toast to the vodka you stole from the store You put the records on to Etta James I tell my secrets, I lose all my shame James: When we have sleepovers at night It’s always more than just a pillow fight Our families think we’re just friends Both: Maybe it’s true, there’s no one else like you and me Honeydew kisses Honeydew kisses James: We are two lost souls that are finally found Marbee: But our relationship is kept underground James: Your mother says, it’s a sin to be gay Marbee: But I can’t help loving you James: And that’s okay Both: We both just swing this way Both: Ooooooohhh Making out in the rainfall, honeydew kisses Making out in the rainfall Maybe it’s true, there’s no one else like you and me

You lied to me I believed in everything you said This is why I’m mad Your words circle around my head Oh it’s so sad You married her instead I’m the lucky one I’m the lucky one I am free I am the one that got away If you ask me, I’m doing okay I’m travelling the world alone It’s not bad I live my life instead I’m the lucky one I’m the lucky one Je suis libre Je n’ai pas besoin de toi dans ma vie J'ai découverte qui je suis Parce que je suis bénie Parce que suis bénie I’m the lucky one

I remember the leaves How could I ever forget you, leaves? You made my feelings green Fate has turned me into a piece of cork The waves have replaced you Driving me nearer to the dark I am now a raft in the sea Powerless, hollow, chronically ill Could I forget you just like that? Chorus: I remember the leaves Everything I achieve Dry during the fall Lush in spring What more will you bring? My debt of my desire, my debt of love Cannot be paid with a million verses I am calling for you, leaves I am now a raft in the sea Powerless, hollow, chronically ill Could I forget you just like that? Chorus: I remember the leaves Everything I achieve Dry during the fall Lush in spring What more will you bring? Life is not merely a collecting of words From the beginning you taught me, you proved that Chorus: I remember the leaves Everything I achieve Dry during the fall Lush in spring What more will you bring? I remember the leaves I remember the leaves

Tool 03:37
Tool You’re only happy when I’m well If I’ve got sad stories to tell… You say you’re out of time So Bye Bye… When we were kids, we’d get along We’d sing that same folk song We grew apart in our teens Ever since then, you were rarely seen My mental health declined I didn’t smile, I didn’t shine Where were you when I was down? You bailed out me Chorus: Because you’re a tool All you ever did was try and be cool You put me down in front of our friends You won’t stick up for me till the end And I was being a fool I trusted you way too much Now it’s too late, I’ve wasted my time just to get you back Things will never be the same again You put the past aside and pretend you never hurt me like you did You can’t take back what we never had Our childhood memories remain But it was all just a fad… Chorus: Because you’re a tool All you ever did was try and be cool You put me down in front of our friends You won’t stick up for me till the end And I was being a fool I trusted you way too much Now it’s too late Now it’s too late Because you’re a tool All you ever did was try and be cool You put me down in front of our friends You won’t stick up for me till the end And I was being a fool I trusted you way too much Now it’s too late Now it’s too late Because you’re a tool

Birds of Amsterdam I’m lucky, lucky enough to have wings given to me as a child A bird flies and sings, not in a cage but in the wild Sitting next to a cup of coffee with speculoos near me People come and go, but the view remains lovely Weed-infused candy I’m feeling so high Living in a lullaby I pass by the windmills and the colorful tulip by the hills Wherever I go, wherever I stay I can learn, bloom and celebrate Weed-infused candy I’m feeling so high Living in a lulla….lullaby A passionate anger, a cry for freedom I’m a bird, let me be free to roam around the world before sunset Thanks for the wings, thanks for the air Thanks for the temple chimes calling me to embrace life surprises I’m a bird, let me be free! 105 bpm

Zombie Bride 03:20
Zombie Bride I am not a natural woman I’m made of chopped up body parts Frankenstein is a human I am his unfinished work of art I’m seeking a monster man To teach me how to dance Chorus: You’d better hold me tightly Wrap me in your arms Take me to the cold north pole I’ll massage your hand and soles I am made to be your lover so that you won’t be lonely Although Frankenstein created me He chose to destroy me A frustrated creature you can be By society misunderstood What’s the point of being good? When you can hunt for victims with me I escaped the doctor’s lab Someone call me a cab Chorus: You’d better hold me tightly Wrap me in your arms Take me to the cold north pole I’ll massage your hand and soles Want you to choke me Zombie I love the way you taste And as soon as you're done biting me I could end up being like you I don't think I'm insane I prefer this kind of life I take your love with pride I’ll be your wife I'm now zombie's bride Chorus: You’d better hold me tightly Wrap me in your arms again

Cherry Glow 05:51
Cherry Glow I'm under pressure So insecure, I keep pushing myself To know what people want There's a cherry blossom falling down Into the ground With her neediness to let go off her tree And then she's covered in snow She sleeps inside, feeling warm in the cold The will to confide, it opens up So many stories untold Here I go Chorus: Hello, morning little sunshine I glow in the dark, I have a different spark I sing with my eyes closed, I blush like a red rose Don't know where I'll head off to When my whole world spins around I watch the stars throughout the Universe.. And I feel so small.. Here comes the hot sun... My tree is dead My clan no longer lives, yet I am still right here I'm losing all the fun, I need to clear my head As the ice melts and grieves, my petal starts to shear I have been so lonely, even with company Flying with melody, chanting a thousand symphonies They all arrive at once eventually leaving without me.. Chorus: Hello, morning little sunshine I glow in the dark, I have a different spark I sing with my eyes closed, I blush like a red rose Don't know where I'll head off to When my whole world spins around I watch the stars throughout the Universe.. And I feel so small.. It is okay.. It's gonna be okay.. Through the tears I'll find my way, when the lantern dies I'll say Stay low, oh let the cherry glow.. Let the cherry glow oh Oh let the cherry glow Stay low, let the cherry glow-oh Let the cherry glow Let the cherry glow Hello, morning little sunshine I glow in the dark, I have a different spark
