So Easy, I Know lyrics - Dani Shay

I close my eyes and find you sitting there Naked, curled into a ball Holding back your knees with your arms Wrapped around them There to break your fall It's so easy to convince yourself And so easy to forget yourself I know, I know I know, I know But it's closing in and the distance we've been keeping Doesn't seem so safe anymore Holding back our fears to our chests To protect them What are we waiting for? It's so easy to convince ourselves And so easy to forget ourselves I know, I know I know, I know I know, I know But have you ever thought for a moment that You are in this moment and that No other moment could be just like now? So do not waste this moment Accept everything it's holding And stop trying to plan Every single when, where, and how I open my eyes and find my own reflection Every section just as I recall Holding back my tears nervously As I see the great barriers fall It was so easy to convince myself And so easy to forget myself I know, I know I know, I know

Original Face lyrics - Dani Shay

I am, you are So close, yet so far away From our original face I know you know That no one else could Possibly show us our original face We are all as wild as the lions in the forest And if you don't believe me it's only because you've learned to ignore it But you're not the only one Clouds are masking the sun So on a day like today When the clouds are out Is the sun still in the sky? And do the rays Breaking through them prove it Like love peeking through cloudy eyes? Let it rain, let the expectations fall And once you do that, you can begin to forget it all We are all as wild as coyotes in the forest And if you don't believe me it's only because you've learned to ignore it But you'll remember soon And you'll be howling at the moon So come now, take a trip down memory lane Into predictable classrooms and chairs holding pencils that all look the same And when you get the urge to laugh, to shout, to dance, or to play The teacher would say, "Hush child, and exercise your brain." And then we became numb, Numb numb, numb numb, oh And then we became numb, Numb numb, numb numb Oh, we became numb, Numb numb, numb numb, N-n-n-numb, n-n-numb numb N-n-n-numb, n-n-numb numb numb But we are all as wild as the lions in the forest And if you don't believe me it's only because you've learned to ignore it You're not the only one Clouds are masking the sun

Pool Of White lyrics - Dani Shay

Things couldn't have seemed better The sun was shining even brighter that day, I Hung like a monkey from the words you spoke, and you Stroke my ego and you smile that way Which is okay Of all the reasons you impress me I mean, of the very few reasons that I can find, there's One that shows how well you know me, you You burst my bubble when I get out of line Which is just fine With my two left feet I always miss the beat The other people are dancing to But you understand That no one could've planned That you're so offbeat too, no Things can always be better, they say The grass is greener on the other side, but There's no need to go on searching for Colour to add to a pool of white 'Cuz it's alright

Re: Money lyrics - Dani Shay

Yellow leaves are falling from the trees as the wind blows And the raindrops rearrange themselves on the windows of your car Racing fast past the gas station, you're running on 'E' And you're out of patience and money Isn't it funny how our biggest barricades are made of paper? Like We're standing inside the walls of a salt and pepper shaker, I I find it a little unreal and I feel incarcerated, I'm I'm living within four walls that someone else created Blue is the color of an infinite sky, partly covered by clouds And city structures that stand up to two miles high You press your shirt for work since you're expected to blend right in Now you're just waiting for this day to end Isn't it funny how our biggest barricades are made of paper? Like Standing inside the walls of a salt and pepper shaker, I I find it a little unreal and I feel incarcerated, I'm I'm living within four walls that someone else created Little boxes on the hillside Little boxes made of ticky-tacky Little boxes on the hillside And they all look just the same And the people in the houses All went to the university Where they were put in boxes And they came out all the same Oh, there are doctors and lawyers And business executives And they're all made out of ticky-tacky And they all look just the same, just the same Red lips and shaven faces pave the roadways to success and respect You balance you want with what you think is best What can you afford? How much can you save? Fuck what you love, how can you get paid? Stuck like a rock in a hard place Is there any way out? Is there? Isn't it funny how our biggest barricades are made of paper? Like We're standing inside the walls of a salt and pepper shaker, I I find it a little unreal and I feel incarcerated, I'm I'm living within four walls that someone else created

Rise From The Dead lyrics - Dani Shay

I dance until the sun comes up and then I close my eyes For fear that when I can see I'll want to run and hide It's a shame we're all walking fast, talking underneath the trees Without even understanding they're helping us to breathe I read the same newspaper at the same time each day The stories never change but I read them anyways It's a shame we're all waiting, debating underneath the trees Without even understanding they're helping us to breathe And the kids in the parks use tree stumps as leverage into the air And they jump on their beds when they get home and the world isn't fair And they fall, they fall And they fall, and never get up But they can rise from the dead They can rise from the dead They can rise from the dead And I can rise from the dead You can rise from the dead We can rise from the dead Rise, rise I grow my roots into concrete just before it dries When I forget how to listen to anything but lies It's a shame we're all stagnant, broken fragments, underneath the trees Without even understanding they're helping us to breathe

Gold For Gold lyrics - Dani Shay

I have been given a heart made of gold And if you find it you'll never grow old I am a child who just wants to play With the right person on the perfect day Play with me until the sun starts setting And you'll see that you'll start forgetting What seemed so important just moments ago Will only show you how much you still don't know See, I have been keeping this heart made of gold Inside of my chest, like a treasure untold We can play pirates and I'll draw my sword Then you can fight for your greatest reward Play with me until the sun starts setting And you'll see that you'll start forgetting What seemed so important just moments ago Will only show you how much you still don't know Let's see if you can swing the highest Let go and you can learn to fly with me Your eyes will always shine the brightest Now, grab my hand and jump on the count of three Here we go (One, two, three) Here we go Here we go Here we go, oh oh So as we are approaching the ground, the ground And you are proudly holding the gold you found I'm no pirate for now, I've surrendered my blade It turns out gold for gold isn't even trade Gold for gold isn't even trade

Windows lyrics - Dani Shay

My senses are my windows, I can only see as far as these eyes will go I'm taking in the colour schemes and Using them to paint unforgotten dreams And I sit inside my questions, I know I need to leave them alone Because my mind distracts me from feelings With thoughts that are not my own My senses are my windows, I can only hear as far as these ears will go I'm taking in the harmonies and Using them to create new stories My senses are my windows, I can smell and taste as far as this face will go As I breathe in the common air I pollute my body with the smoke you share You can not hear sight And you can not see taste You can not smell touch And you can not touch sound I think I found the answer now We're on the inside looking out But I sit inside my questions, I know I need to leave them alone Because my mind distracts me from feelings With thoughts that are not my own My senses are my windows, I can only touch as far as this skin will go As I absorb the sun and the rain I can feel my temperature start to change And I sit inside my questions, I know I need to leave them alone Because my mind distracts me from feelings With thoughts that are not my own

New World lyrics - Dani Shay

This is the breakdown Try and follow On the inside I’m crying, dying to ask why Were working for nothing from 9 to 5 I can feel the exhaustion wearing on me Can’t face the fact that I am not free Freedom is a lie we’ve learned to believe like A book with no pages we pretend to read Your envy me let me tell you where I came from I’d run like hell through my imagination Just to get away from what I didn’t understand Like how a boy becomes a coward and calls Himself a man and everyone around him pats Him on the back happily oblivious ignoring all the facts Knick knack paddy whack give a dog a bone Sit stay roll over run away from home This is what we teach to the demons we create Avoid your inner conscience And hide from your mistakes then lie awake haunted by your fucked up thoughts Contemplating action afraid of getting caught This is how we're waiting on the edge For the problems that haven’t happened yet Paranoia is crawling into our heads, because This is how we waiting on the edge I wonder why we're still falling for the same old tricks It seems like were all broken and need to be fixed Were like robots supporting the economy thats failing anyways And won’t let us be who we wanna be It's sickening a world on the go I need a triple tall extra hot latte and a bluberry scone And for lunch I’ll take a number five with a large diet coke And an extra side of fries and You can feed me lie’s I’ll eat them up to At night I pray to God and ask him what to do. This is how we're waiting on the edge For the problems that haven’t happened yet Paranoia is crawling into our heads, because This is how we waiting on the edge And millions of children are dying of hunger We can’t see the lighting, can’t hear the thunder We’re going under if things don’t change soon The world will be a dead by tomorrow at noon Raped of her glory raped of her life Raped like the husbands rape their wifes And the wifes have also lost their minds Drowning their kids and feeding them lies All in favor of a new world say I All in favor say I, I All in favor of a new world say I All in favor say I, I I don’t wanna sit and wait for shit to hit the fan But you can if you want with the family You brought to the land of all the promises Where all you ever wanted was a chance To take a stand against the world that took Your confidence cause you’ve been on it since The day you turned ten and your dad said “you had to earn money to spend” and thats what You did to became a part of the system Working to earn the respect of old rich men Shining their shoes and pressing their pants Playing their games and dancing their dance Basically all in hopes of a chance a chance to get noticed and may be advance But let me let you in on little secret You can package your pride and tell them to keep it Cause you don’t need them They need you cause you feed them You do the work while they sit tall Cause your lucky that you have a job at all right? This is how we're waiting on the edge For the problems that haven’t happened yet Paranoia is crawling into our heads, because This is how we waiting on the edge All in favor of a new world say I All in favor say I, I All in favor of a new world say I All in favor say I, I

Your Oyster lyrics - Dani Shay

I can feel an itch crawling down my spine, and I can't reach it Can you help me, please? How did I come to this moment of my life? I can teach you while I pack to leave The world is your oyster, crack open the shell Start writing the story that you want to tell Don't take for granted what's right before your eyes Cut out the ego, let go of the lies What a sweet release, weight fallen off my back I am floating, am I still in view? What a strange disease the world seems to have As we're all biting off less than we can chew The world is your oyster, crack open the shell Start writing the story that you want to tell Don't take for granted what's right before your eyes Cut out the ego, let go of the lies If we were bare naked, standing plain to see, Would you be happy, or run and hide? There's no way to fake it, it's just you and me, And I can see what's deep, deep inside And knots are tied around my stomach ache Reach in and take the shakes from my core The better parts will be revealed, but for now my lips are sealed 'Till I feel better than before The world is your oyster, crack open the shell Start writing the story that you want to tell Don't take for granted what's right before your eyes Cut out the ego, let go of the lies Lies, lies

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."?

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

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

What The Hell lyrics - Dani Shay

(Parody of Justin Bieber's song "Baby")

I guess you notice
I guess you care
About the way I
Flip my hair

You say it's Bieber
You say it's hot
But let me tell you no its no its no its not

Am I on TV?
Girl quit playing
He looks just like me
What are you saying?
Said there's another who looks and sings like you
And he's on every single channel of you tube
And I was like
What the hell are you talking about
I was like,
What the hell are you talking about?
I was like,
What the hell are you talking about?
This face has always been mine, mine

What the hell are you talking about
I'm just like,
What the hell are you talking about
Yeah I'm like,
What the hell are you talking about
This face has always been mine

Oh I knew
This couldn't be my real life
I must be dreaming, deceiving myself in real time
But I gotta play cool
Until I know it's true
So then I finally
Turned on my mac to see

This Justin Bieber
Oh no! This can't be
You got to shake me til you wake me from this bad dream
I'm going down down down down
And I just can't believe a mini me has now been found

And I'm like,
What the hell are you talking about
I'm just like,
What the hell are you talking about
I'm like,
What the hell are you talking about
This face has always been mine, mine

What the hell are you talking about
Yeah I say,
What the hell are you talking about
Oh I'm like,
What the hell are you talking about
This face has always been mine, mine

Dani!
I'm twenty-two-years old
And yes I'm quite confused
Cause ain't nobody got the same mom and daddy except my sister Ashley
So who are you?
You got me going crazy
What am I supposed to do?
They're screaming 'ooo sing baby'
But aren't my songs good too?
I have my own words
I'll make you think if you listen to me sing and
Maybe I'll rap a verse too
Cause that's the flow I bring and
You know this can't be easy
Seeing that face on TV
Cause I want you to see me
So I just keep on saying

What the hell are you talking about
Oh I'm like,
What the hell are you talking about
Yeah I'm like,
What the hell are you talking about
This face has always been mine, mine

What the hell are you talking about
Oh I'm like,
What the hell are you talking about
Yeah I said,
What the hell are you talking about
This face has always been mine, mine

So am I all gone?
Am I all gone?
Am I gone... gone... gone...
No I'm not
