Lyrics:
Mirror, can you hear me?
Do I reach you?
Are you even listening?
Can I get through?
 
There’s a part of me that’s desperate for changes
Tired of being treated like a pawn
Well, there’s a part of me that stares back
From inside the mirror
Part of me that’s scared I might be wrong
That I can’t be strong
 
I’ve been afraid,
Never standing on my own
I let you be the keeper of my pride
Believed you when you told me
I was nothing on my own
Listen when I say
I swear on here, today
I will not surrender,
This life is mine
 
Amazing how you conquered me,
Chained me in servility 
And made me see 
The world the way you told me to,
But I was young and didn’t have a way 
To know the truth

Born to live your legacy,
Existing just to fill your needs,
A casualty 
Of this so-called "family"
That you have turned into a travesty
 
But I don’t intend to suffer any longer,
Here’s where your dominion falls apart
I’m shattering the mirror
That kept me split in pieces
That stood between my mind and my heart
This is where I'll start
 
I'm not your pet, 
Not another thing you own
I was not born guilty of your crimes
Your riches and your influence can't hold me anymore
I won't be possessed
Burdened by a royal test
I will not surrender, this life is mine
 
Shame that it took so long
To rescue me
From the guilt you used to tie me to
Your family tree
I guess your training failed
You’re not in charge, I’m free
Your patriarchal prison won’t hold me

Now this conversation’s finally over
Mirror mirror, now we’re done
I’ve pulled myself together now
My mind and heart are one
Finally one
 
I'm not your pet, 
Not another thing you own
I was not born guilty of your crimes
Your riches and your influence can't hold me anymore
I won't be possessed
Burdened by a royal test
I will not surrender, this life is mine

Lyrics:
It used to feel like a fairy tale,
Now it seems we were just pretending
We’d fix our world,
Then on our way to a happy ending
Then it turns out life 
Is far less like a bedtime story
Than a tragedy 
With no big reveal of the hero’s glory
 
And it seems we weren’t prepared
For a game that wasn’t fair

Do we just go home?
Can we follow through?
When all hope is gone,
There is one thing we can do
 
Let’s just live
Day by day,
And not be conquered by our sorrows
The past can’t hold us down,
We must break free
Inside we’re torn apart,
But time will mend our hearts
Move onward, not there yet
So let’s just live
 
Can we get back to a happy place?
We’ve suffered so much pain and sorrow
After yesterday, is there anyway we can trust tomorrow?
Will we go through life
Filled with strife like its torn and tattered? (Torn and tattered)
Can we keep this up
When we know that every hope has shattered?
 
And the lesson isn't new
That some dreams just can’t come true

When it finally falls
And the battle’s through 
When our faith is gone
And there’s nothing left to lose
 
Let’s just live
Day by day,
And not be conquered by our sorrows
The past can’t hold us down,
We must break free
Inside we’re torn apart,
But time will mend our hearts
Move onward, not there yet
So let’s just live
 
When it feels like there’s nothing
Worth living for
Everything is broken, 
The light’s not there anymore
And the story takes an unexpected turn
A friend is suddenly gone 
We can cry our lives away
But if they were here, they’d say
Go forward, we must keep moving on
 
Let’s just live
Just one day,
Let’s forget about our problems
Let’s fall in love with life and just be free
The sun will never fade,
The night won’t steal our day
Let’s laugh and dance and love
And let’s just live

Lyrics:
Pain
Is your reward for being near me
Fate
Won't be your friend when I'm around
Blame
Me for the tragedy that follows
Grave
The situations I surround 

I'm a harbinger,
I cannot lie
I will change the color of your light
I don't meant to bring you pain,
But I will, just why?
I can't explain

I am no one's blessing,
I'll just bring you harm
I'm a cursed black cat,
I'm an albatross,
I'm a mirror broken
Sad to say,
I'm your bad luck charm
 
Shame
I hang my head in constant sorrow
Rain
On every day you need the light
Strain
To see some fortune in tomorrow
Bane
Is what I am to every life
 
Trust one thing, take my advice
If you linger close, it’s a hefty price
You and I are not the same
You don’t want the burden 
Of my name
 
I am no one’s blessing
I’ll just bring you harm
I’m a cursed black cat,
I’m an albatross,
I’m a mirror broken
Sad to say, 
I’m your bad luck charm
 
A guaranteed catastrophe
A tear that’s bound to fall
A sure train wreck,
And you’ll soon regret
The day I came to call
 
I’m a cursed black cat,
I’m an albatross,
I’m a mirror broken
Sad to say, 
I’m your bad luck charm

Lyrics:
There's a garden where I go
If you meet me there, no one will know
In the springtime, in the sun
We can be alone without anyone
 
All the butterflies and the birds
Keep our secret, no, they won't say a word
But they watch us and they know
And they're happy as they see our love grow
 
We'll sit for awhile as I drink in your smile,
It feels like a dream that's come true
My head starts to buzz
And my heart fills with love over you
 
Baby, can't you see? 
You could be with me
We could live inside a garden of ecstasy
You could be my queen, 
I could be your dream
Our lives like a fantasy
Maybe set me free?
Let me be your bumblebee
 
Now the flowers are in bloom,
And you’ve chased away my darkness and gloom
When the wind blows through the trees
And your voice is like a song in the breeze
 
My doubts disappear every time that you’re near,
The clouds seem to run from the sky
The thought of your kiss sends my soul into bliss,
I get high
 
Baby, can't you see? 
You could be with me
We could live inside a garden of ecstasy
You could be my queen, 
I could be your dream
Maybe set me free?
Let me be your-
 
Like a serenade,
Every word you say has me
Falling more and more in love with you
Like a Purdie beat
You are oh so sweet
Every day is sunny
Tastes like honey
Feel so alive
Take me back to the hive
 
Baby, can't you see? 
You could be with me
We could live inside a garden of ecstasy
You could be my queen, 
I could be your dream
Our lives like a fantasy
Maybe set me free?
Let me be your bumblebee

Lyrics:
You don’t know what it’s like to live in shadows
Always regretting what you’ve done
Spending time 
Counting every little mistake
Knowing it’s always easier to run
 
You don’t have to spend your life looking backwards
We’ve been through this over and over again
You can’t just wish it away
The past is the past,
It’ll never change
That was before,
This is now
And when
 
We have a chance to make it better if we try
Oh, but I will not endanger one more friend
You’re free to do the things you want
But listen, so am I 
I made my choice
And now I’ll make it mine
 
Go where you need to,
Know I won’t leave you
I’ll follow you like morning follows night
You can run till your pain’s through 
One thing I won’t do
Is to let you go alone 
To face the fight 
 
Hard to know where to turn 
When your life’s a disaster
Trying to start all over again
So much shame, so much time that just feels wasted
Feeling like now could never make up for then
 
Life’s not a game you can play to get even,
We all make mistakes, but we need to move on
I know that you hate where you strayed
Forgiving yourself is the only way
Just look ahead, yesterday is gone
 
I know you think you’re being selfless,
But you’re not
I refuse to risk another’s pain again
The pain is when you shove me out
And take off on your own
No matter what,
You’ll never walk alone 
 
So you'll never understand 
What I feel, what I see
What's going through my mind
How it feels being me
All these struggles, all these fights
Long days, lonely nights
Trying to search for the happiness lost in my life
But it seems that it's all 
Just out of my sight, it's out of my reach,
Can't seem to get it right
Like I’m cursed with the turbulence
Placed in my life
Can’t push or pull it, stuck up in this bull pit
Cycle of pain, all this stress in my brain
I'm just trying to maintain
Cause I'm going insane,
But no matter what I do
The cries go unheard
That I still believe in you
Every breath, every word
Every smile, every glance
Could be another chance
That you'll finally see the love that is me
So until that time, I'll follow every day
Every step of the way 
If you'll take me, just say
 
Go where you need to, (Go)
Know I won’t leave you
I’ll follow you like morning follows night (Follow you)
You can run till your pain’s through (Run, run)
One thing I won’t do
Is to let you go alone 
To face the fight

Lyrics:
It happens every night,
I watch my world ignite
But there’s no waking from this nightmare
 
The stage is always set
The place I can’t forget 
The hidden eyes that I can feel there 
 
My eyes are open wide,
I’m racing to her side
There’s nothing that I won’t do for her
But this is not a dream,
My mind repeats the scene
I can’t forget it and it’s torture
 
That was before,
But not anymore
I’ve left it behind
As much as I lost,
Once I’m across  
I’ll find
 
I’ve found the strength to grow so much more,
A whisper to a roar
No more crying
It’s time for me to soar
 
Feel like I'm finally unbroken
Feel like I’m back from the dead
My strength back and confidence growing
Out of my way ‘cause I’m armed and ready
(Armed and ready)
Ready
(Armed and ready)
I’m ready 
(Armed and ready)
Ready, ready
Armed and ready
 
Remember all too well
My time of living hell,
The night my enemy would conquer 
But now I’ve been set free,
Went through the tragedy
You’ll wish you’d killed me, now I’m stronger
 
I am the golden one
Who burns just like the sun
Next time we meet is your disaster
I’ll bring your punishment,
Your song will be lament,
Revenge my happy ever after
 
My misery, my agony
Have taught me to fly
The pain I went through 
Left me with a new
War cry
 
I’ll live my life like everyday’s the last
No living in the past
Best days ever, 
I’m never looking back
 
Feel like I'm finally unbroken
Feel like I’m back from the dead
My strength back and confidence growing
Out of my way ‘cause I’m armed and ready
(Armed and ready)
Ready
(Armed and ready)
I’m ready
(Armed and ready)
Ready, ready
Armed and ready
 
Call me ‘sweetheart’ and I’ll tear you apart,
Just call me sir
Try to resist
Once you meet my new fist, bye bye
Just look at the fire in my eyes,
And bring my Strawberry Sunrise
It was you who began it,
Now you're saying ‘goddammit’
Next time, there’s no compromise 
 
Feel like I'm finally unbroken
Oh, now I’m back from the dead
Strength back, confidence growing
Out of my way ‘cause I’m armed and ready
(Armed and ready)
Ready
(Armed and ready)
I’m ready
(Armed and ready)
Ready, ready
Armed and ready

Lyrics:
Close your eyes now, time for dreams
Death is never what it seems
Did the things you thought you should,
All the things they said were good…
 
All your faith in ancient ways,
Leaves you trapped inside a maze
Take the lives of those you need,
Sow the death, then reap the
Seed…
Reap the
Seed
 
Born an angel, heaven sent,
Falls from grace are never elegant
Stars will drop out of the sky,
The moon will sadly watch the roses die
In vain, 
Loss, no gain
But you're not taking me
 
You can't have my life,
I'm not your sacrifice,
You can try–
You can try–
 
Show them gods and deities, 
Blind and keep the people on their knees
Pierce the sky, escape your fate
The more you try, the more you'll just breed hate,
And lies, truth will rise,
Revealed by mirrored eyes…
 
What if all the plans you made,
Were not worth the price they paid?
Even with the lives you stole,
Still no closer to your goal
 
Seed…
Reap the
Seed
 
Born an angel, heaven sent,
Falls from grace are never elegant
Stars will drop out of the sky,
The moon will sadly watch the roses die
In vain–
 
You can't have my life,
I'm not your sacrifice,
You can try–
You can try–
You can try–
You can try–
 
Death is never what it seems
