Hey Mister Misery
By: Amber Gideon

Hey Mister Misery
Grip so tight
Wrap yourself around me tonight
Thunder follows you
Like shadows and spite
Take me to the place to be free
He keeps begging constantly

Hey Mister Misery
Let's play vice
Drag me down gently I won't fight
Just beg harder please
This time on your knees
I think we both know what comes next
I take all the pain I can get

(Chorus)
I'll be your crutch
To hold you
Till you make it halfway through
I'll be your crutch
To hold you
Till you make it halfway through

Hey Mister Misery
Name your price
Go find another vixen tonight
I'll be a good girl
If you play nice
Use my body one last time
No witness means there's no crime

(Chorus)
I'll be your crutch
To hold you
Till you make it halfway through
I'll be your crutch
To hold you
Till you make it halfway through

(Bridge)
You lean on me
I crack and bend
You ask for more
It never ends
I hold you up
You pull me down
I wipe your tears 
And you let me drown

(Chorus)
I'll be your crutch
To hold you
Till you make it halfway through
I'll be your crutch
To hold you
Till you make it halfway through
I'll be your crutch
To hold you
Till you make it halfway through
I'll be your crutch
To hold you
Till you make it halfway through

Hey Mister Misery (Remix)

"Avatar"

Ready player one
Your avatar waits 
The spaceman takes control

(Pre)
Lucid but I'm dreaming
Sleeping but I'm walking 
Let my third eye do all the talking

(Chorus)
Hey, do you want to play a game?
I'll take the red pill
You take the blue
We're the voice in their heads
Telling them what to do

Ready player two
Your avatar waits 
The alien takes control

(Pre)
Lucid but I'm dreaming
Sleeping but I'm walking 
Let my third eye do all the talking

(Chorus)
Hey, do you want to play a game?
I'll take the red pill
You take the blue
We're the voice in their heads
Telling them what to do

(Bridge)
White rabbit takes me up the stairway 
My third eye opens like a rose bouquet

Ready player three
Your avatar waits 
The remote takes control

(Pre)
Lucid but I'm dreaming
Sleeping but I'm walking 
Let my third eye do all the talking

(Chorus)
Hey, do you want to play a game?
I'll take the red pill
You take the blue
We're the voice in their heads
Telling them what to do
Hey, do you want to play a game?
I'll take the red pill
You take the blue
We're the voice in their heads
Telling them what to do
Are you ready player one?

"Villain or Hero"

Watch out for the fearless ones
They're all cloaked in armor
The events meant to kill them
Only made them stronger

Watch out for the angry ones
They're all cloaked in regret
The same events meant to kill them
Ignited a fury to infect

(Chorus)
Villain or hero
Written in the same ink
The only difference
Is they way that they think
Villain or hero

Watch out for the courageous ones
The protect the innocent
On a mission to prevent the hurt
That almost destroyed them

Watch out for the hateful ones
They seek targets of revenge
On a mission to bleed the hurt
Armed with spite and malice

(Chorus)
Villain or hero
Written in the same ink
The only difference
Is they way that they think
Villain or hero

(Bridge)
Good versus evil
A tale of light and dark
Heroes versus villains
Same story, different spark

(Chorus)
Villain or hero
Written in the same ink
The only difference
Is they way that they think
Villain or hero
Villain or hero
Written in the same ink
The only difference
Is they way that they think
Villain or hero

Villain or Hero (Acoustic)

"River Song"

Sun kissed late August day
Wildflowers sway
The Willow Tree sings
His name in waves

(Pre Chorus)
Time capsule
Freeze frame
The river paints a picture
Of his angelic face

(Chorus)
Campfire scene 
River Phoenix in blue jeans
His tears flowing 
Like the Mississippi
A waterfall of reveries
Paper cut heart on his sleeve
Gen X James Dean

Turtledoves and dragonflies
Hum a duet
The moss canopy 
Echoes back

(Pre Chorus)
Time capsule
Freeze frame
The river paints a picture
Of his angelic face

(Chorus)
Campfire scene 
River Phoenix in blue jeans
His tears flowing 
Like the Mississippi
A waterfall of reveries
Paper cut heart on his sleeve
Gen X James Dean

(Bridge)
The moon shined a dimpled grin
Upon his golden skin
Eternal light shimmering 

(Chorus)
Campfire scene 
River Phoenix in blue jeans
His tears flowing 
Like the Mississippi
A waterfall of reveries
Paper cut heart on his sleeve
Gen X James Dean
Gen X James Dean

River Song

“Heartbreak Rodeo”

Oh no, another consequence
Of my own invention
Think I’m in love again
So I had to block him
Got my doctorate in overthinking
This relationship ain’t
The only thing that's spinning

(Chorus)
I call shotgun on the carousel of anxiety
my love language is sabotage
with a twist of poetry
Burn bridges cause
I like the smell of smoke
Wave goodbye to another cowboy
At my heartbreak rodeo

Oh no, he's downstairs
gotta hide my depression
The mess in my head
matches the floor to perfection
Told me he'd love to get married someday
Lied and said I'm moving to Paraguay

(Chorus)
I call shotgun on the carousel of anxiety
My love language is sabotage
With a twist of poetry
Burn bridges cause
I like the smell of smoke
Wave goodbye to another cowboy
At my heartbreak rodeo

(Bridge)
Same old story
Block delete
Plan my exit strategy
Same old story
Block delete
Slam the door and lock the key
Same old story
Block delete
I'm a walking catastrophe

(Chorus)
I call shotgun on the carousel of anxiety
my love language is sabotage
with a twist of poetry
Burn bridges cause
I like the smell of smoke
Wave goodbye to another cowboy
At my heartbreak rodeo

“little thief”

Hey baby, it's me
The girl you turned into a memory
I love you has no meaning
When you speak it so carelessly

pre
Little thief stole my heart
I was the fool
You met your mark
Little thief who made you bleed
Ended up with your knife in me

chorus
Get out of my life 
Out of my head
If you wanna be a ghost 
You better stay dead
Get out of my life 
Out of my dreams
Give me my heart back 
You little thief

Hey baby, remember me
You played me like a symphony
Since space is what you need
Here's a fucking galaxy

pre
Little thief stole my heart
I was the fool
You met your mark
Little thief playing games
Little thief who made you bleed
Ended up with your knife in me

chorus
Get out of my life 
Out of my head
If you wanna be a ghost 
You better stay dead
Get out of my life 
Out of my dreams
Give me my heart back 
You little thief

bridge
I assumed you drowned
in a lake of your own lies
Choking on your endless alibis
Thanks for the lesson I didn't seek
Even love can be a hyperbole

chorus
Get out of my life 
Out of my head
If you wanna be a ghost 
You better stay dead
Get out of my life 
Out of my dreams
Give me my heart back 
You little thief
Get out of my life 
Out of my head
If you wanna be a ghost 
You better stay dead
Get out of my life 
Out of my dreams
Give me my heart back 
You little thief

"holes"

He’s got holes in his arm
The kind that glow in the dark
And I got holes draped around
My papercut heart

pre
I can’t fix you
Put you back together
With tape and glue
How’s a broken girl
Supposed to heal
A boy who’s broken, too?

chorus
Let’s marry our tragedies
Hold each other till we turn blue
Shut out the whole wide world
Make love under the Cheshire moon
The Cheshire moon

He’s got holes in his shirt
Not the kind from playing in the dirt
And I got holes in my hands
Scars left by another man

pre
I can’t fix you
Put you back together
With tape and glue
How’s a broken girl
Supposed to heal
A boy who’s broken, too?

chorus
Let’s marry our tragedies
Hold each other till we turn blue
Shut out the whole wide world
Make love under the Cheshire moon
The Cheshire moon

bridge
We’re like two halves
Of a missing whole
Two broken puzzle pieces
Soul to soul
Ironic but true
I found another broken
Home in you

pre
I can’t fix you
Put you back together
With tape and glue
How’s a broken girl
Supposed to heal
A boy who’s broken, too?

chorus
Let’s marry our tragedies
Hold each other till we turn blue
Shut out the whole wide world
Make love under the Cheshire moon
The Cheshire moon
The Cheshire moon

Piece by Piece
By: Amber Gideon

I've been to every bar and every coffee house
I go all over the world searching for you
I sing your song every night
Hoping one day you just might
Show up
Oh yeah, this one’s for you

(Chorus)
Baby, I’m broke and down
Will you come pick me up and
Take your hands fold me piece by piece
Baby, I’m broke and down
Will you come pick me up and
Take your hands fold me piece by piece

Keep playing our greatest hits
over and over in my head
Tap my head to spit you out and stay for a few
A voice screams my name
Oh lord, he finally came
I look up to the empty barroom floor

(Chorus)
Baby, I’m broke and down
Will you come pick me up and
Take your hands fold me piece by piece
Baby, I’m broke and down
Will you come pick me up and
Take your hands fold me piece by piece

(Bridge)
Your silent mumble cuts me deep
Piece by piece until I’m bare
I cry, oh lord better take me soon
Cause I'm starting not to care

(Chorus)
Baby, I’m broke and down
Will you come pick me up and
Take your hands 
fold me piece by piece
Baby, I’m broke and down
Will you come pick me up and
Take your hands 
fold me piece by piece
Take your hands 
fold me piece by piece
Take your hands 
fold me piece by piece
