Chasing Madness lyrics - Dani Shay
Chasing madness over
Something I can only barely conceive.
What's happened to me?
And if I get there, will I
Be so satisfied, I won't need a thing?
Even to breathe?
Oh God, if You can hear me now, (yeah)
What's this drama all about?
Do you watch the world like we're on TV? (yeah)
A little prime time reality...
Cory, Amy, Michael, Biggie,
Tupac, Whitney, River, Brittany,
Chris, Heath, and on and on…
And I could read this list till the break of dawn,
But It's never gonna stop till we take it on;
I'm afraid it'll be me before I finish this song.
"I'm on the brink of something!"
That's what everybody says,
Tryin' to think of how to make it while I- I- I- I- I-I-I
I'm lying in my bed, cryin' in my head,
Hoping I'll accomplish what I want before I'm dead.
I'm staying optimistic, but I gotta get fed.
Racing the clock, like everyone else,
Hanging by a thread-
Don't ask me why I'm chasing this madness;
I'm facing reality one fragment at a time.
My past is really where it began-
I've I'ma give it to ya straight:
I was touched when I was nine.
Chasing madness over
Something I can only barely conceive.
What's happened to me?
And if I get there, will I
Be so satisfied, I won't need a thing?
Even to breathe?
Oh God, if You can hear me now, (yeah)
What's this drama all about?
Do you watch the world like we're on TV? (yeah)
A little prime time reality...
Ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, done.
Seven years in, and that's when I started playing,
Had to put my feelings somewhere, 'cause I was so angry-
Crazy, changing, hormones raging,
Teenage angst and legit shit that I was facing.
Well maybe I was caving, but there was no escaping.
Thankfully, I still knew my life was worth saving.
So that's why I sat up in that room at night,
With the pen in my hand, and a blue lava light
Propped up nice on the desk that my Mama gave me,
Shining ever so softly, illuminating the pages and
I would just wait for the words to flow out of me like coffee-
Pouring poems on paper,
A magic concoction.
From that day forward,
It all became clear.
My gift is my defense,
But my Heart is why I'm here.
Chasing madness over
Something I can only barely conceive.
What's happened to me?
And if I get there, will I
Be so satisfied, I won't need a thing?
Even to breathe?
Oh God, if You can hear me now, (yeah oh yeah)
What's this drama all about?
Do you watch the world like we're on TV? (yeah)
A little prime time reality...
Well, I don't know what I've been told,
But this shit sure is getting old.
'Cause how many times do I have to hear,
"Hold your head up high, dear."?
Something I can only barely conceive.
What's happened to me?
And if I get there, will I
Be so satisfied, I won't need a thing?
Even to breathe?
Oh God, if You can hear me now, (yeah)
What's this drama all about?
Do you watch the world like we're on TV? (yeah)
A little prime time reality...
Cory, Amy, Michael, Biggie,
Tupac, Whitney, River, Brittany,
Chris, Heath, and on and on…

Girl Or Boy lyrics - Dani Shay
Is that a girl, or is that a boy
Do they play with dolls or do they play with toys
I have to know the pink or blue,
The pink or blue now
How will people think of you, if they don't know how
Girl or boy, girl or boy?
Is that a lady or is that a man
Times have changed and lines are blurred
And I don't understand
I have to get a grip of this
It's bowing my mind
I am not a lesbian, but God she looks fine
Girl or boy, girl or boy
But God she looks fine
Girl or boy, girl or boy
Oh, but life is not a pink or blue,
Hanging over someone's crib while they're waitin
To grow to be one or the other,
Living to please and to please their mother
And I hope we can grow to see that everybody is unique
And I know they told us when we were kids
But we forget it cause they also said
Don't be a pussy to the boy who cried
And they also said to the girl who fought
That's not very lady like
Well we gotta know who decides it
Do you or do I?
Who decides it?
Do you or I?
Girl or boy, girl or boy, girl or boy
Girl or boy, girl or boy, girl or boy
Do they play with dolls or do they play with toys
I have to know the pink or blue,
The pink or blue now
How will people think of you, if they don't know how
Girl or boy, girl or boy?
Is that a lady or is that a man
Times have changed and lines are blurred
And I don't understand
I have to get a grip of this
It's bowing my mind
I am not a lesbian, but God she looks fine
Girl or boy, girl or boy
But God she looks fine
Girl or boy, girl or boy
Oh, but life is not a pink or blue,
Hanging over someone's crib while they're waitin
To grow to be one or the other,
Living to please and to please their mother
And I hope we can grow to see that everybody is unique
And I know they told us when we were kids
But we forget it cause they also said
Don't be a pussy to the boy who cried
And they also said to the girl who fought
That's not very lady like
Well we gotta know who decides it
Do you or do I?
Who decides it?
Do you or I?
Girl or boy, girl or boy, girl or boy
Girl or boy, girl or boy, girl or boy
Superheroes lyrics - Dani Shay
I think about the days when we were young
And care free
We never even bothered to ask
Who are we or Who we should be
We just existed with no resistance
We were superheroes then
But times have changed
And wars are raging
Underneath our skin
We're dodging bullets and
Holding ground
Pushing, pulling and weighing down
What happened to that cape I used to wear?
Is it out there?
Is it out there?
And if you find it somewhere inside of me
Help me find it because I should be flying
I wanna be a superhero again
And finish this war under my skin.
Oh but, History has shown us
That when times are gettin hard
It's time for us to grow and see exactly who we are
The morning after the storm
Is always brighter than the rest
Right?
Especially when you know you past your test
But the tests are only standerized
In little public schools
Were they've given you all the answers
And prepared you with the rules
I don't think life on earth is set up
Quite the same
It's every man out for himself
Until we make things change
Can we make things change?
So give me one thing
Something please
Just a glimmer of hope
I'm on my knees
I need to know that I'm not
That I'm not crazy
And if I am
Then tell me now so I can
Tie my cape to my straight jacket
And bow out
'cause I am not about to go down this way
No not the superhero
Today
I guess I'm not the superhero
Today
And care free
We never even bothered to ask
Who are we or Who we should be
We just existed with no resistance
We were superheroes then
But times have changed
And wars are raging
Underneath our skin
We're dodging bullets and
Holding ground
Pushing, pulling and weighing down
What happened to that cape I used to wear?
Is it out there?
Is it out there?
And if you find it somewhere inside of me
Help me find it because I should be flying
I wanna be a superhero again
And finish this war under my skin.
Oh but, History has shown us
That when times are gettin hard
It's time for us to grow and see exactly who we are
The morning after the storm
Is always brighter than the rest
Right?
Especially when you know you past your test
But the tests are only standerized
In little public schools
Were they've given you all the answers
And prepared you with the rules
I don't think life on earth is set up
Quite the same
It's every man out for himself
Until we make things change
Can we make things change?
So give me one thing
Something please
Just a glimmer of hope
I'm on my knees
I need to know that I'm not
That I'm not crazy
And if I am
Then tell me now so I can
Tie my cape to my straight jacket
And bow out
'cause I am not about to go down this way
No not the superhero
Today
I guess I'm not the superhero
Today
