BURN
There's a system in place
To keep us in chains
By a show of hands who else
Is sick and tired of the same?
1%, trying to keep us small
Trying to keep us from getting out
Minimizing the struggles they've caused
Saying we're not working hard enough
No!
Day after day
We're just working it all away
They keep poking the bear
And they're bound to get maimed
So I'll raise my glass
For the hardworking class
Keep your fires burning hot
We can't be silenced
Overworked, sleep deprived
Left with nothing for myself
If you're gonna take it all out of our hands
You could at least cover mental health
I can't even think, I'm so drained
Are you surprised we're pushing back?
Are you listening? I know you hear us
Your foundation's about to crack
Come on!
Day after day
We're just working it all away
They keep poking the bear
And they're bound to get maimed
So I'll raise my glass
For the hardworking class
Keep your fires burning hot
We can't be silenced
So let me get this straight
You can't afford to pay me a livable wage
A multi-billion dollar corporation hitting higher profit margins every day?
I'm full-time, but I need 2 jobs?
70 hours a week on my feet, I'm not built for this
But then again, I don't think any human is
But I still dare to dream about the day that I can get up on stage and talk about these things
Because maybe then my words will hold some weight and I can spare somebody the pain
God, I'm exhausted
I feel it in every bone, every pore, in my heart, and in my soul and while you're profiting off our broken backs
We're getting angrier with this world
Calling for revolution
Desperate for change, for relief from this ache, so just know that we're coming for y'all
And enjoy it while you can
'Cause I won't stop until you see the end
Day after day
We're just working it all away
They keep poking the bear
And they're bound to get maimed
So I'll raise my glass
For the hardworking class
Keep your fires burning hot
And we'll never be silenced

Hurricane

Turn out the lights
Let me fall asleep
I need an escape from my reality
It's been too long that I've had to stay strong
And I'm breaking now
Best not to stick around
They say it's all in my head
So why can't my body get out of this bed?
Can you feel the storm a-brewin'?
Try not to get caught in my undertow
A hurricane of the human psyche
Destruction unlike you've ever known
Pinned to the ground as I scream out loud
I think I'm going numb someone save me from myself
They say it's all in my head
So why can't my body get out of this bed?
Can you feel the storm a-brewin'?
Try not to get caught in my undertow
A hurricane of the human psyche
Destruction unlike you've ever known
I can't wait for this to be over
I can't wait until it passes me by
I need to feel something again now, baby!
Even if that something makes me cry!
Can you feel the storm a'brewin'?
Try not to get caught in my undertow
A hurricane of the human psyche
Destruction unlike you've ever known

You Consume Me

Let go of my heart
Please let me go
You consume me, abuse me...
And I let you every time
I don’t understand why I have no control when it comes to you
I need to break free from whatever hold you have on me!
I’d give it all if you asked, every single little piece of me
Well, baby, please don’t ask! You know it would destroy me!
I’m going insane and I think I’m to blame for letting you take control…
And I can’t shake you!
But you won’t choose me!
I think I’m starting to hate you…
My heart can only take so much
Oh, God! I think I’m in love!
I’d give it all if you asked, every single little piece of me
Well, baby, please don’t ask! You know it would destroy me!
Oh no no no!
I’d give it all!
No! It would destroy me…

Heaven in Your Eyes

I know it’s rough
It’ll be alright
Grab my hand and we’ll take flight
Through the stars
Past the moon
Nowhere I wouldn’t follow you
Forget everything they say
People are gonna talk anyway
Nothing wrong with what we do
I know exactly what I feel for you!
Don’t stop holding onto me!
We’ll be all we ever need!
A love like ours is worth the fight
When it’s darkest let me be your light
Baby, they don’t understand
‘Cause they don’t see the heaven in your eyes!
Your eyes, her eyes
Dance with me
Stay focused on my eyes
Come on, girl, I’ll let you guide
Feel my heart beat in sync with yours
We’ll take it slow, one day at a time
Let it grow so we can thrive
I’ll keep you safe, I’ll be your shelter
I know I’m home when I’m with you!
Baby, please don’t be afraid of me!
Don’t stop holding onto me
We’ll be all we ever need
