Expectations 03:11
Verse I: I’m tired of trying to be who I wanna be, I wanna just be where I am. I’m tired of trying to crack all the mysteries, I wanna just see where I stand. Pre-Chorus: I’m done chasing expectations. I’m done facing allegations. Chorus: I’m giving up as I make my own way, I’m not sorry if I change my mind. Go ‘head and think what you’ll think as you sink down, I won’t care either way. Verse II: I see you watching the birds as they fly by, Having a good time, singing their song. I wanna stare out the window with you, Close my eyes and sing along. Pre-Chorus: I’m done chasing expectations. I’m done facing allegations. Chorus: I’m giving up as I make my own way, I’m not sorry if I change my mind. Go ‘head and think what you’ll think as you sink down, I won’t care either way. Bride: I’m tired of trying to be who I wanna be, I wanna just be where I am. X4 Chorus: I’m giving up as I make my own way, I’m not sorry if I change my mind. Go ‘head and think what you’ll think as you sink down, I won’t care either way. X2 Ending: I won’t care either way. X3

By My Side 04:51
Vere: You’ve been looking so down babe. I’ve been feeling it too. If you need a shoulder to cry on, Mine is waiting for you. Why with all the long faces? There’s still beauty nearby. You’re looking in all the wrong places, My dear let me look in your eyes. Chorus: I’ve been feeling down and out today, But being with you makes it okay. All I need is what is by my side, It’ll all be fine.

Easy 03:54
Verse I: I see you walking by, you crack a smile, You say it's easier than I'm making it be. You meet my eyes, you see right through me, You say it's easier than I'm making it be. Chorus: It's easy, It's easy, It's easier, than I'm making it be. Verse II: I'm walking backwards, just to show that I can, You say it's easier than I'm making it be. I'm picking the lock, 'cause I don't need a key, You say it's easier than I'm making it be. Chorus: It's easy, It's easy, It's easier, than I'm making it be. X2 Bridge: And I try so hard. And I'm swimming up stream. And I make it so hard. I want to let the tide take me. Chorus: It's easy, It's easy, It's easier, than I'm making it be. X3

Verse I: You've been on my mind, I'm thinking that I don't even know you. Just when it feels right I close my eyes and I lose my way somehow. Chorus: I'm just standing here looking for you in those eyes. I'm hoping that I'm around for you to kiss goodbye. There's nothing quite like a turn of the tables to shed some light on who we are. Take my hand and we might find our way back to the eye of the hurricane, Back to the start. Verse II: You've been on my mind, I'm thinking that I don't even know you. But I think that I know all I need to know, I'm yours 'til the stars turn cold. Chorus: I'm just standing here looking for you in those eyes. I'm hoping that I'm around for you to kiss goodbye. There's nothing quite like a turn of the tables to shed some light on who we are. Take my hand and we might find our way back to the eye of the hurricane, Back to the start.

Disease 04:02
Disease Verse I: You wrap your arms around me, deceiving me once again. You gave me all I said that I wanted, but I was lying to your face all along. Chorus: You’re watching in and you’re haunting my dreams, I try to run but I’m captivated by this disease. I pray for freedom, it will not be free, But I will fight. Verse II: I am shaking but at least I still stand. I know your moves you’re not original And every moment I’m stronger than a moment ago. You better run ‘cause of what you don’t know. Chorus: You’re watching in and you’re haunting my dreams, I try to run but I’m captivated by this disease. I pray for freedom, it will not be free, But I will fight. Bridge: I’m stuck in a fantasy I’m not ready to leave. I’m stuck somewhere in-between right and wrong. Chorus: You’re watching in and you’re haunting my dreams, I try to run but I’m captivated by this disease. I pray for freedom, it will not be free, But I will fight. X2

Verse I: I don’t know why I’ve been wasting my time As I wait for the day to go by. I’m a cloud in the sky. See, can’t you see? But I can’t seem to see What you’re trying to show me. Please, I will cry when I want to. Chorus: I don’t have a reason or a time of arrival, I’m counting the sand From my castle that’s been washed away. But it never was worthy, You’re much too early. Verse II: You only move What you want to you say But I’m done going your way. Go – don’t come back for me. Chorus: I don’t have a reason or a time of arrival, I’m counting the sand From my castle that’s been washed away. But it never was worthy, You’re much too early. Bridge: Just give me more time, Just a little more time. Give me time, time. Give me more time, A little more time, Time, time. Chorus: I don’t have a reason or a time of arrival, I’m counting the sand From my castle that’s been washed away. But it never was worthy, You’re much too early. Verse I: I don’t know why I’ve been wasting away Don’t you dare try to make me stay I will cry when I want to

Not Alone 03:58
Verse I: It's hard to see, It's hard to breathe, It's hard to be in this room. It's nice to know today will be over before I know it, I know. Pre-Chorus: Then suddenly I'm hanging on your every word, My feet lifted straight off the ground. You're looking at me, looking through me And I'm feeling like I know myself, and I can't forget, Every word you're saying, every word you're saying. Chorus: You're not alone, I see you inside those eyes. And all of the fight, all the confusion Has you right where you are and you should know, You're not alone. Verse II: It might be still, it might be real, It might be here for the taking. It might be time for things to start changing And I don't mind if they do. Pre-Chorus: And now I get to thinking it's not over yet And I've still got something to prove, And I can't forget Everything I'm feeling, everything I'm feeling. Chorus: You're not alone, I see you inside those eyes. And all of the fight, all the confusion Has you right where you are and you should know, You're not alone.

Lovely 04:29
Verse I: There’s a story a mile high for every smile, for every voice. But you’ll miss it if you close your eyes. I see sparks flying through the sky They’re only fighting for more time, We all need a little more time. Pre-Chorus: The more you know, you know what you don’t know. The more you try, the more you see them eye to eye. Chorus: It’s so lovely she sang, It’s so funny you say that, It’s easy. ‘Cause it’s so scary but see, We’re all scared of the same things, I know you, and it’s easy. Verse II: So you think you got it figured out, You know your story and you sure as hell know mine. But you’ll need a little more time. And I’ll tell ya, and you might see Something maybe you hadn’t seen before. You only thought you saw before. Pre-Chorus: The more you know, you know what you don’t know. The more you try, the more you see them eye to eye. Chorus: It’s so lovely she sang, It’s so funny you say that, It’s easy. ‘Cause it’s so scary but see, We’re all scared of the same things, I know you, and it’s easy. Ending: There’s a story a mile high for every smile, for every voice. But you’ll miss it if you close your eyes. Don’t close your eyes

Take Me Away 03:43
Take Me Away Verse I: One step forward two steps back. I wish that I could understand How to fit this puzzle back together, When you keep losing all the pieces. You said to be honest so I will I’m through with this dumb game until The rules get changed or someone drowns the jailer, Or gets me out for free and calls a sailor. Chorus: To sail me away, away, far far away, This desert has become my enemy. Sail me away, away, far far away, To the land of milk and honey. Verse II: Be careful what you wish for ‘cause Dreams come true for everyone, But they may differ from your expectations, The greener grass may be hallucinations. But even so I hope you know, I’ve tried to stay I’ve tried to grow, But I’ve failed every one of these assignments, So all that I can wish for is a pilot. Chorus: To fly me away, away, far far away, This desert has become my enemy. Fly me away, away, far far away, To the land of milk and honey. Chorus: Take me away, away, far far away, This desert has become my enemy. Take me away, away, far far away, To the land of milk and honey. Verse I: One step forward two steps back. I wish that I could understand How to fit this puzzle back together, When you keep losing all the pieces. Take me away…

about

Bekah Brudi Michigan

"Since before I can remember I’ve been turning thoughts of mine into songs. These songs are the greatest representation of who I am. They’ve become a way for me to process and accept myself in the midst of the pain that accompanies life. When I am at my worst, I write. And inevitably, beauty is found.

I find refuge in my songs; I share them that you might find solace in them too xo
