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

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?

—

Owl Scarey
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.
