Lyrics:

There are too many thoughts,

I wanna run away from it.

There are too many lights,

but none are shining up on me,

Me, me, me, Why not,

Me, me, me, Why not.



Walking down the street

on a late Saturday night,

I see happy faces

enjoying their moment of lifetime.

We look the same, but

why can’t I be one of them?

Please tell me.



There’s seems to be no one by my side.

I feel like I’m all alone on this ride.

There’s seems to be no one by my side.

I feel like I’m all alone on this ride.



There are too many thoughts,

I wanna run away from it.

There are too many lights,

but none are shining up on me,

Me, me, me, Why not,

Me, me, me, Why not.



Why not me,

Why not me,

Do you not see me?

In the middle of the colorful night,

I’m standing painted black & white.

I’m the only one out of this picture,

looking for exits out of this fixture.



There’s seems to be no one by my side.

I feel like I’m all alone on this ride.

There’s seems to be no one by my side.

I feel like I’m all alone on this ride.



All alone, All alone, All alone in this night.

All alone, All alone, All alone in this life.

Hope that one day,

I’ll find my way to be happy.



There are too many thoughts,

I wanna run away from it.

There are too many lights,

When will it shine it up on?

Y Not Me (ft. Sofer)

MEAN GIRL

Alec Adeva on keys! 
pic is of us in McDonalds c/o Martina Roces
music by him n lyrics by me,,,iphone recording

words:

this is the most human i've ever been 
i'm trimming the stems 
i'm keeping the petals
and sewing them on to me

don't oblige me-- nothing has to die to make me happy
i'll be lighting candles for their fragrance
not for a loss
i'm separating good advice from yours 
don't compare your catflap to my doors
a checkpoint on my mental map
i'd rather have done it than not

i may not have your skin 
but you weren't built on my bones
it's so easy to run back 
when you've barely left home 
anyway it will all be on me

this is the most human i've ever been
overwhelmed by the water
too sacred to touch
letting the waves wash over me 

i may not have your skin 
but you weren't built on my bones
it's so easy to run back 
when you've barely left home 
anyway it will all be on me

people do change,
but that don't mean he'll have a different frame
yes i'll be going away but i'll return whence i came
anyway it will all be on me

station six (iphone voice memo)

an open letter to the ones who made me feel less, the ones who couldn't love me, and the ones who stepped on me in 2017. i am full of hope that 2018 will be filled with better human beings.

LYRICS:
maybe i should stay in bed all day
and hide away from the sun
it’s not like anyone wanted me anyway
although i wanted anyone

oh i thrive off your attention
but i know i’m just an extension
take me bit by bit, i’ll be a part of you
take me whole, i’ll try to be better for you

maybe i should stay down on the floor
and only come up when they call
i’ve only ever wanted to be more
i only wanted to grow tall

maybe i should stop putting myself down
for all of your stupid mistakes 
i’m tired of letting myself drown
cause i’m not the one to blame

oh i thrive off your attention
but i know i’m just an extension
you took me bit by bit, i’m not a part of you
you took me whole, i’m still not better for you

oh fuck you for making me feel so small
oh fuck you for making me feel so warm
i’m exhausted, exhausted of it all

oh fuck you for hanging me on the wall
fuck you for telling me i was wrong
i’m exhausted, exhausted of it all

A new recording!!!  

"Lilies" is so close to me because of the clear naivety in its original arrangement, because of the simplification to a life lesson that is made complicated with age but is so readily experienced throughout our lives. In the past four years this song has been sung sweetly and angrily, it has been passive and passionate. 

I hope this new version is a testament to how we change in our adulthood transitions and if we choose to nurture the wisdom that lives in us from childhood.

Vocalist and songwriter Carolyn Flaherty has always found solace in honesty. Her folk is dark as it is warm, taking cues from field demos and river eels. mgmt@carol.fyi
