Needed Space
—
I can feel your glow
Even though I know
I’m just talking to an empty room
I would love to know if you’re still alive
When you look at the moons, do you still get starry-eyed?
Do you slow down, or do you take every last second chance?
& will you ever meet your body where it’s at?
Someone’s gotta keep these chumps in their place
When you enter the ring, do you still hyperfixate?
We both know it’s not over when the favor’s won
Neo-medieval times have only just begun
I won’t forget the night you ran away
To dodge the patriarchal disarray
No time to tell the world
You literally needed space ⋆⭒˚.⋆🪐 ⋆⭒˚.⋆
How many battles until we win the war?
Will you start to unravel what you think you’re fighting for?
Take off your helmet
Human underneath it all
We both know we would like to see this empire fall
We all hope someday we will this empire fall
We all know we are gonna see this empire fall
Levi Fuller
Get Even/Get Lucky
—
All they have is stolen goods
We work for crumbs while they eat cake
Their laws rob everything from us
I’m gonna take it all back
—
Welcome to the resistance
Together we can take it all back.
The truth can be lonely
But together we can take it all back.
—
The games are rigged
Enjoy it while you can, bloodsuckers
Your time is coming. The jig is up.
I’ll make sure of it.
—
Welcome to the resistance
Together we can take it all back.
The truth can be lonely
But together we can take it all back.
—
People don’t need saving
They’ve been fighting their own battles
for a long time
—
What if we did win?
People should pay attention to us
Let’s make it to the top
And demand what’s ours.
What if we did win? . . .

Are You Okay
—
Tara, I hope that you’re okay…
Tara, I don’t know if I understand but losing you feels like dying,
Tara, please can you hear me?
[instrumental]
(spoken) Well, it’s been a week, and life’s pretty much gone back to normal,
(sung) Except you’re not here, and I feel like you’re trying to reach me, but the connection is bad…
I hope wherever you are, you get to do whatever you want…
Tara, are you even alive?
Tara, I kind of wish I’d gone with you, at least then I know…
[instrumental]
(spoken) Hi there, how can I help you? No, I don’t know anything about the missing princess. I was in jail for a… different reason… Yeah. Can we stick to the car? Thanks…
(sung) I don’t pretend to know what goes on behind palace walls but the anger and determination in your eyes said it was the only choice but Tara, please be okay
—
I know I’m supposed to want the men to fight for me
To take me to their home beyond the stars
They tell me that I’m lucky, living this life of luxury
Then tell me why it feels like I’m behind bars
—
I will fight for me, even if I fight alone
And they will see, just who I’ve been all along
—
They can’t take what was never theirs to take
And they can’t win what never was a prize
When I claim the bullish strength that always been inside of me
I will turn this broken system on its side
It’s the only way I know I’m still alive
—
I’ve always been the one you could rely on
I’m your captain and your sidekick, you have my heart
But I’m tired of just the two of us surviving
The family that we choose molds who we are
—
I will fight for us
But I don’t want to go it alone
Cause the life I dream of
I could never build it on my own
—
And I could make the most of our life on the run
And live our lives out souring through the sky
If we can learn to trust enough to build our family
Then I can teach this crew just how to fly
It’s the only way to know I’m still alive
—
I should’ve known when you needed me
I should’ve found a way to you
I’m sick of being told to stay quiet, won’t spend my whole life wondering
There’s gotta be something I can do!
—
I will fight for you
And for a world that feels like a home
They’ll try to rig the game
But we won’t bow to their throne
—
Cause they won’t take what was never theirs to take
And you were never a prize
So when I gaze across the speckled galaxy
I’ll look for the brilliant sparkle of your eye
It’s the only way I know you’re still alive
—
I can teach this crew just how to fly
I will turn this broken system on its side
It’s the only way to know we’re still alive
It’s the only way to know we’re still alive

TROUBLE
—
Not every trouble has a body
Not everybody is a bridge
Perhaps the truth that you’re after
Only needs a place to live
—
But then you’ve got your armor that we both know is wearing thin
Tell me does it keep the trouble outside out, or the inside in?
—
Not every battle has survivors
Not all survivors are more fit
Perhaps the fight you’re after
Needs you to walk away from it.
—
But then you’ve got your armor and that bold swashbuckling grin
Tell me does it keep the trouble outside out, or the inside in?
—
A thousand years of light may travel
Mysteries will yet unravel
Stars give birth to us and dust again
—
All the fears that give you pause
Have only visited because
Trouble is how life begins
—
Not every trouble is a problem
Not every problem will be clear
Perhaps the clarity you’re after
Is not so far from here
—
But then you’ve got your armor that we both know is wearing thin
Tell me does the trouble outside out, or the inside in?

I Am the One I’ve Been Waiting For
—
I snuck out the window late last night
Gonna find my own way through life
All of the stars are reflected in my eyes
I’m going to catch them, every one
—
I am the one I’ve been waiting for
I am the one I’ve been waiting for
Destiny is written in the stars
Watch me climb up and rearrange them all
I am the one I’ve been waiting for
I am the one I’ve been waiting for
—
The damsel in distress isn’t always what she seems
Nor is the villain in the shadows of the trees
You may find the unexpected makes the greatest team
We are the ones we’ve been waiting for
—
I am the one I’ve been waiting for
I am the one I’ve been waiting for
Destiny is written in the stars
Watch me climb up and rearrange them all
I am the one I’ve been waiting for
I am the one I’ve been waiting for
—
We are the ones we’ve been waiting for
We are the ones we’ve been waiting for
Destiny is written in the stars
Watch me climb up and rearrange them all
We are the ones we’ve been waiting for
We are the ones we’ve been waiting for

I wasn’t made to be a milk cow
I was born to be a bull
I don’t just hang around like some silvery moon
Only to be eclipsed the moment I get full
I’m an unsuitable satellite
I’m an unsaddleable shooting star
So, honey, au revoir
‘Cuz I’m no milk cow
I was born to be a bull
—
I wasn’t meant to be a strip mine
I’m a volcano at her peak
I’m not designed to be a damsel in distress
To be discarded once you’ve satisfied your ego
Not a pony who’ll win your show
I’m an unsaddleable shooting star
So, honey, au revoir
‘Cuz I’m no milk cow
I was born to be a bull

(She wasn’t made to be a milk cow)
I was born to be a bull
(She won’t just hang around like some silvery moon)
Only to be eclipsed the moment I get full
I’m an unsuitable satellite
I’m an unsaddleable free-range comet
I’m a beefcake, a rocket,
Ain’t no milk cow
I was born to be a bull
I wasn’t made to be a milk cow.
