A song about low self esteem, feeling like an ugly duckling, shy and picked on, but then finding someone who loves you for who you are.

I thought I was mundane, a kitchen counter stain,
A little bizarre, everyone's bumper car
Then you said to me, "Life's not pretty, but you sure are"
You had me, you have me, so just shut up and kiss me now.

Look for this song on all streaming platforms.

Betting on a wish
getting further today
while looking in my eyes
I don't know what to say
hanging on I'll wish now
to me now

Had enough of me running today
my hands are getting tired of them wanting to shake
not running for now
I'd rather die than to look at me 
I don't want to see my world break

A lot of times where I'm calling loud for me
louder than pain I'm still on the way to save me
I'm still on my way to save me

I've seen it in my eyes
I'm not alive
I'm betraying all my thoughts
I fear my time
and the fear to fall behind
I'm terrified
holding to my lies
I'm holding now

Slipping through my hand
I see how far I fell
I'm losing sight of me
and all the I held
it's all a waste now
it's all a waste now

wish

Autumn leaves are falling all around
and soon the winter frost will chill the ground
I'm frightened when you talk of letting go
Somewhere inside, someone I used to know

Time is going faster than the eye can see
you turn around one day and then you're old
your eyes tell me you don't know who I am today
I wanna stop the film, put life on hold
you're in the fall

You take me back to 1965
I'm in your kitchen feelin so alive
love flow thru me crystal clear and pure
where is it now, in this stony moor?

Time is going faster than the eye can see
you turn around one day and then you're old
your eyes tell me you don't know who I am today
I wanna stop the film, put life on hold
you're in the fall

You look at me as if you wanna say
swear you won't remember me this way
the sun bursts into view, the clouds disperse
then beeping sounds, a tone, a frantic nurse

Time is going faster than the eye can see
you turn around one day and then you're old
your eyes tell me you don't know who I am today
I wanna stop the film, put life on hold
you're in the fall

you're in the fall
you're in the fall

Born Evil

Ive been keeping to myself 
Thinking that, you’d come around 
I’ve been lying to myself 
Hoping that what we had was real 
& it dawned on me maybe 
You never wanted to know me? 
You would fall in me baby 
Whenever we’re feeling lonely 

& it’s in my head 
It’s not fair 
& now I’m coming down 
From the high of us 
It’s in my head 
It’s not fair 
& now I’m coming down 
From the high of us 


Drink so much we drown 
Was I looking for them in unfamiliar faces? 
In his voice i thought i heard your sound 
Wonder if you’ve fallen for another ones graces? 
In the darkness lately 
I imagine your arms around me 
When the dawn breaks baby - you’re no where to be found 

it’s in my head 
It’s not fair 
now I’m coming down 
Off the high of us 
It’s in my head 
It’s not fair

come down

the witch trials

ig tearstaineddoll

I starve for once just to feel small
but no one sees this war at all
in every mirror i feel disgrace
i smash my thought against my face
friends drift off like passing wind
they say i break more than i bend

im screaming but nobody stays
they say get help then they walk away
if i lose myself would they even care
or just act shocked like i wasnt there

i starve for once just to feel small
but no one sees this war at all

this war at all

minimize the illness

All my old friends are going down
They all live in the same town
I just keep going around 
Right now I'm in Greece, lived in Miami

Keep on 
Traveling 
I'll keep on 
Running 
From what yet I still don't know 

But within these songs, somewhere it'll be wrote

All my x2 
Old friends 
All my, oh my
Old friends 
Sienna Plantation 
All my x2 
Old friends 

My old friends don't talk to me
That is my choice, don't want to be friendly
Sick and tired of going to sleep with the same mind as everybody

All my x2 
Old friends 
All my, oh my
Old friends 
Sienna Plantation 
All my x2 
Old friends

Sienna Plantation
They all live in 
All my oh my old friends
Sienna Plantation



Hope you love this one as much as I do babes!! Wrote & recorded this my first month in Greece over a beat produced by Dan Darmawan. Honestly, I have no idea where "all my old friends" are & I know for a fact a lot of them did travel from hometown to go to college. Please, nobody take this song personally. I was just writing, and I really love this song. I've been wanting to post it since it finished, so yes had to clip the whole front intro off but wtvr here is a song you almost never heard & it's one of my top favorites so far <3 !!!!!!!!
[P.S. - Whether or not you go to college/ move from your hometown is completely your business! I understand everyone has different circumstances and obligations. It's your life, live it however you do; nobody else's opinion matters more than your own unless you belong behind bars or in an insane asylum. I don't want anyone to ever feel judged by this song because it doesn't shine light on/ reflect people who didn't have another option/ desired something else!]
