Shades Of Green lyrics - Dani Shay

Click, clock Tick, tock Run fast Time pass Shades of green are coming Earth move Touch you I can feel that Shades of green are coming The tides are changing and we're following suit You would never know it by the laces in our shoes 'Cuz they lay the same way that they always have And sometimes the best things don't last Why is that? Why is that? Why is that? Why is that? I think it's fear Fear, but I'm right here Happy tears Cold sweat, oh Sweet, sweet, sweet breath Shades of green are coming

The Beating lyrics - Dani Shay

I was checking sound When you first came around And I was staring at you Through the mirrors in the room And I wish that I could have seen your face when you first looked up But you shot me one of your little gazed and that was enough For me to know That you were a place I had to go And I'll never understand why people try so hard To get away from the beating of their own hearts I was reading signs Like hand motions but less defined And you were reading mine So we figured it all out at the same time And I think that I could have broken down on your couch that night When you spoke to me with your eyes and they looked just right For me to know That you were a place I had to go And I'll never understand why people try so hard To get away from the beating of their own hearts Symphonies are playing and are never being heard Birds are chirping too, but are drowning in our words Words that don't mean shit but are weighing us all down Just so we can pay for a ticket off the ground Oh, we go to new locations in search of something true Or just to get away from the things we always knew And everything we do is a reflection of our past Beliefs that we adopted under questions never asked So now I'm making sound While you dance, baby, dance all around And I'm still staring at you, oh I can't help it, God, I love the way you move And I think that I could have scared you off if you weren't so brave 'Cuz you silenced your fearful thoughts and that is the way That I came to know That you are a place I have to go And I'll never understand why people try so hard To get away from the beating of their own hearts

Apple lyrics - Dani Shay

I sunk my teeth into Something that looked like you If you were frightened, then I politely ignored And I bit down a little bit more I broke through your thick skin And tasted the sweet within And you tried to hide your bruises but I saw them and all I knew was I had never tasted anything like this before Never known, never seen for myself That I could ever even dream of tasting something more than bread Then you started to oxidize Changing right there before my eyes So I waited then laid you down Where I found you on that spot in the ground I had never tasted anything like this before Never known, never seen for myself That I could ever even dream of tasting something more than bread Then I said, what tree did you fall from? Oh, I said what tree did you fall, fall from? Apples, apples, apples in my mouth Apples, apples, apples in my mouth Apple, you're hanging in the tree Waiting to be eaten, come on, fall on to me Remind me why I'm walking and I'm sinking heavy low Using gravity in my excuses not to go, go, go I sunk my teeth into I sunk my teeth into you...

Butterflies Never Lie lyrics - Dani Shay

Butterflies never lie, but I do When I'm scared of what telling the truth will do And if you so choose to be in my scared vicinity Well, I'm so sorry if I ever lie to you Secrets come from inhibitions And inhibitions come from fears, oh Like, "What will happen next, and will it be what I expect?" I've been playing this damn game of chess for you So I will try my best to be light now Shining bright in all places low And I will try my best to be clearer When I'm telling you what I know All I ask from you is your patience And I will try to give you the same So if you run out, I could never blame you 'Cuz I know how hard it is to change Butterflies never lie, but I do When I'm scared of what telling the truth will do And if you so choose to be in my scared vicinity Well, I'm so sorry if I ever lie to you 'Cuz people need to hear the whole truth And who am I to hold it in? 'Cuz even if it hurts at first, never knowing's even worse I can't save you from the lakes you came to swim So I will try my best to be light now Shining bright in all places low And I will try my best to be clearer When I'm telling you what I know All I ask from you is your patience And I will try to give you the same So if you run out, I could never blame you 'Cuz I know how hard it is for us to change Butterflies never lie, but I do When I'm scared of what telling the truth will do And if you so choose to be in my scared vicinity Well, I'm so sorry if I ever lie to you You know I'm so sorry if I ever lie to you.

My Humble Plea lyrics - Dani Shay

You think that I come bearing answers You think that I can solve it all You think the road I've paved is settled But I'm the first one crying when I fall And falls for me may seem way further to you 'Cuz you hold me up so high But sweetheart, look a little closer And you'll see I'm barely taking flight See me now, see me now While I can too See me now, see me now While I can See me now, see me now While I can too Show me how, just how I can get to you I'll break you down if you'll let me But more than that, I'll become glass And I'll pass through fire dripping slowly Then blow the gray burned ash See me now, see me now While I can too See me now, see me now While I can See me now, see me now While I can too Show me how, just how I can get to you Love, show me now, just how I can get to you

Flow lyrics - Dani Shay

It seems we're traveling unchartered seas But the sharks won't bite if we listen to the waves and breeze I feel you, frightened too but existing none the less With this art in your face as your heart starts to Race, race, rest So we can learn How to let the energy flow And we can go With what we feel as what we know I'm tied to rocks and blues and letting out air If I cut them loose to swim up, then will you be there? So we can learn How to let the energy flow And we can go With what we feel as what we know Is it so bad that my bones woke up when I saw you? Is it so bad, so bad? Is it so bad that you want them wrapped around you? Is that so bad? I am afraid I am afraid I am afraid I am, I am But I will learn How to let the energy flow And I will go With what I feel as all I know And we will learn How to let the energy flow And we will go With what we feel as what we know

Six Words lyrics - Dani Shay

This time I am letting go of you Six words I have thought, but never thought that I would do We had our time and then a moment to rest And now I think we both know this is what is best, best, best Before this is final, there is something you should know My life changed forever when you came to my show It's still amazing how great the smallest little gestures can be So I'll thank you now for that and the time you've spent with me Goodbye Goodbye Goodbye Goodbye It's only because I love you that I am able to say goodbye 'Cuz only in love can we know what's really wrong and right And how many times have we heard the story of the animal and the child Who wanted to keep him locked in a cage just to play with once in a while And momma would say, "Now honey, I know you love him, so do you think that's fair To keep him from living his own life just because you want him there? When you really love someone, you want what's best even when it isn't you. So kiss your froggy goodbye, baby, because you know it's the right thing to do." This time I am letting go of you Six words I have thought, but never thought that I would do Goodbye Goodbye Goodbye Goodbye

Streetlamp lyrics - Dani Shay

Sometimes I'm steady like a rock Sometimes the truth speaks when I talk But then again a little more often than not I'm pushing through the fog of my own thoughts And then the streetlamp in my head flips a switch and I come back Ready to devise a stronger plan of attack I know these circumstances are to help me train To be your warrior for peace against my brain Sometimes I'm open to receive Sometimes even when my eyes are closed I can see But sometimes in a matter of minutes, I'm so far down That suddenly I'm looking up to see the ground And then the streetlamp in my head flips a switch and I come back Ready to devise a stronger plan of attack I know these circumstances are to help me train To be your warrior for peace against my brain So don't ask me how we came to be 'cuz it really doesn't matter, you see Because life is but a dream filled with the ultimate distractions Maneuver your way through and you're free Oh, if you get there first come find me Come find me, oh Sometimes I'm taken by surprise Sometimes I can see God in my eyes But sometimes like a dragon's breath the smoke reappears And I'm blinded once again by my fears And then the streetlamp in my head flips a switch and I come back Ready to devise a stronger plan of attack I know these circumstances are to help me train To be your warrior for peace against my brain, my brain

Me, My Brother lyrics - Dani Shay

I don't know how I came to know you but somehow I do I don't know if you'll understand me but now I am you I see what you saw when you saw me so open Oh yeah, I know exactly how you felt And years have passed by us now in your untrained mind Has made days into your hell But I know you need To hear these words straight from me You're not a bad boy, you're just weak So try to admit, yeah just try to admit You are not what you seem But brother you came to me when you needed me most Oh didn't you, or were you acting all along? We were young confidantes to be secrets and lies you told me And I'll still forgive you on and on 'Cuz I know you need To hear these words straight from me You're not a bad boy, you're just weak So just try to admit, yeah just, just try to admit You are not what you seem, oh We all have things to learn Bridges and fears to burn So I'll leave this map behind And will be back to find We are one, we are one We are one, we are one

It All Leads To Me lyrics - Dani Shay

I am fire, I am smoke I am burning candles that you blow I am wind and I am rain I am joy and I am pain Don't you see, it all leads to me? I am the light and the darkness I am your first lover and first kiss I am the boy that you left you alone I am your loving mother on the phone Don't you see, it all leads to me? To me We are residing here in God's stomach Like a swallowed marble rolling into tomorrow I hear the rumblings as he laughs because it tickles And if you sit silently he'll show you why he giggles, he giggles And you're bound to join in if you're not too quick to question And if you can become less attached to your perception 'Cuz it will fade along with agony and sorrow Once you can finally surrender your tomorrow Tomorrow, tomorrow I am distractions, I am time I am all five senses and the mind I am the money, I am the stress I am the lessons and the test Don't you see, it all leads to me? I am your best friend and your foe I am here to teach you what I know I am the sun, the moon, the stars Here to show you who you are Don't you see, it all leads to me? Don't you see, it all leads to me? Don't you see, don't you see, don't you see Don't you see, it all leads to me? Don't you see, it all leads, it all, it all leads to me Don't you see, even you are me? Don't you see, it all leads to me? Don't you see, don't you see It all leads to me

Bottles Will Break (Live @ Eddies Attic) lyrics - Dani Shay

There's a knot in my throat that I can't swallow When I think about you You're probably driving back right now Back to your hotel room and now Your face is blank, your mind is racing 'till you get there And the summer rain and beers are drowning out your nightmares But the bottles will break But the bottles will break Oh, the bottles will break How long will it take? You have a picture of your daughter in your wallet 'Cuz you're always thinking about her You're wondering how you got so far down You used to be so sure and now Your face is blank, your mind is racing 'till you get there And the summer rain and beers are drowning out your nightmares But the bottles will break But the bottles will break Oh, the bottles will break How long will it take? I've got news for you, brother It's a long way up I've got news for you, brother Freedom is waiting at the top I've got news for you, brother It's an easy coast down, but A coward never forgets the way that he drowns Because he does it to himself, himself You may think that I don't like you, you may think that I don't know The things that you think about and do when you are alone But you can trust me when I say I can feel your broken heart And I know you feel overwhelmed and you don't know where to start But it starts with you, with you And there's a knot in your throat that you can't swallow And now you don't know what to do Your angel wings are probably too big for Your little hotel room and now Your face is blank, your mind is racing 'till you get there And the summer rain and beers are drowning out your nightmares But the bottles will break But the bottles will break Oh, the bottles will break How long will you take?

One Great Rule lyrics - Dani Shay

You go to school to get the job To pay the bills and still be robbed of The one thing that matters most Your soul becomes more like a ghost, A figment of your crying, dying imagination. And as the years grow, you get attached To your safe little nest and the eggs you've hatched And the world seems so much smaller now All sense of adventure is fading out, because You already know your destination. But the thing you're bound to discover, The one mystery I feel must be uncovered, Cuts deeper than the sharpest of knives 'Cuz it shows that your truth is made up of lies, A mirage made solely to hold you. But right now, we can make a step Towards something more then our next paycheck And vow to follow one great rule, One great motto, one great mantra or tool Which is above all else, to ourselves be true.

Fake lyrics - Dani Shay

So it seems that we can't talk about the things that matter Can you read my lips? My voice will get lost in chatter I can tell that you are thinking Twisting your hair into knots I can infer by your face That they are not good thoughts But why'd it get so hard to communicate? And why can't anyone, anyone Just mean what they say? It's like a game parents play with their sons and daughters First, a name, then train them with fast food and sweet waters First they say "You can be anything you want to be." Then later they add "Well, anything that makes you good money." So why'd it get so hard to communicate? And why can't anyone, anyone Just mean what they say? 'Cuz people say "Hello there!" and "How are you doing?" Then barely wait for a one worded answer just to keep on moving So why pretend to care for me? I can see you're rushing And I'm not offended but I would prefer it If you would say nothing 'Cuz fake is such a nasty habit So break it with the others while you're at it, oh Fake is such a nasty habit, oh break it with the others while you're at it So why'd it get so hard to communicate? And why can't anyone, anyone Just mean what they say? Oh, why'd it get so hard to communicate? And why can't anyone Just mean what they say? Oh, why'd it get so hard To commun - to commun - to commun - to commun - To communicate?

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
