Follow me
In my dreams you followed me back home
In a flower dress and with a flower in your hair
I'm glad I'm allowed to stare
You followed me home 
Reaching out for my love 
Within your heart
But if I am to retreat
Well I need it back
If this is it
If we are done
But I'm still here coveting you
Yes I'm still here coveting you
Why did I wait for you
Cause I want the love that we grew
Behind your walls I knew that I would find my shattered heart
And a flick of the wrist is all it took
My sway shook
My legs shake too

Follow Me

While sitting on concrete 
The water soaked through jeans
I was excited to wear these
Felt like you would love me
I was a credible captain 
When I served my time
Explorations of my mind
Left you waiting in line

And when I come back
I'll be your dirty answer
You stand front and center
When you're going faster
I'll follow you around
Hoping to find the answer
You seem criminal
Heart, when you're going faster

Capitalize on all the people that surround me
Looking inside to find the lie that helped to ground me
Was it really yours or was it mine to find
Calculated more than when you said you felt fine

And when I come back
I'll be your dirty answer
You stand front and center
When you're going faster
I'll follow you around
Hoping to find the answer
You seem criminal
Heart, when you're going faster

And when I come back
I'll be your dirty answer
You seem criminal
Heart, when you're going faster
I'll follow you around 
Hoping to find an answer

Your own way

Thank you for joining me on this journey, how long has it been
Since I was away from you on this journey, arms wide with a grin
Remember where you were going, but don’t forget the house you’re born in

I bet you could tell me all of the places I’ve lost things in the sand
But then I remember that through all these places, I’ve come to understand
It’s not the things that you’ve acquired, It’s all the feeling and desire that make their mark on your soul

Thank you for joining me on this journey, how long has it been
Since I was away from you on this journey, arms wide with a grin
Remember where you were going, but don’t forget the house you’re born in

You never remember!
Come on, just remember!
Why don’t you remember?
I wanna remember!

I wanna remember!
I wanna remember!
I wanna remember!
I wanna remember!

I want to Remember

You could have been the one to see it all go down, but you closed your eyes
Never determining what caused it all to fall

We’ll keep crying for it, We’ll keep dying for it, We’ll keep crying for it

How did you ever think that you would find a way back inside? 
After all, you’ve been meting out, you can’t rely on your friends tonight 

Leave it stagnant, unsated 
I could’ve been berated a few times before I decide not to upend it, I should’ve been more relentless

I wanna let it go

Crying for It, Dying for It

There was a time when all was said and done, less hidden
Shadow spawned happy creation 
Potential released, nothing forbidden

I belong to these times 
I still long for these places
Tell me, where are you from? 
Where do you belong? 
Can you feel it calling you home? 

For what do you still long? 
For what do you still long? 

There was a place where people sang only truth through and through 
From their lips, these people prayed by being only who they were 
Sacred songs now a memory forgotten times, sweet reverie 
 Sweet reverie, sweet reverie, sweet reverie

I belong to these times 
I still long for these places
Tell me, where are you from? 
Where do you belong? 
Can you feel it calling you home? 

I belong to these times 
I still long for these places
Tell me, where are you from? 
Where do you belong? 
Can you feel it calling you home? 

I belong to these times 
I still long for these places
Tell me, where are you from? 
Where do you belong? 
Can you feel it calling you home? 

For what do you still long? 
For what do you still long? 
For what do you still long? 
For what do you still long?

Been Leaving Me Out

Alone

Grateful

Born and raised on and off the reservation in Arizona, but primarily in the big city of Flagstaff. Before I knew how to play guitar I had a nylon string that my cousin Jovanna gave to me when I was seven or eight. I would sit with that guitar untuned and pretend to be performing all types of different music. When I was nine, my father layaway purchased an Act II electric Guitar and amp from Walmart, and that was it, I was doomed to be a musician. I would be remiss to not mention that two of my early role models in music are my older brothers Richard and curtis. In fact, when we finally got the guitar out of layaway, the first song I ever learned or more accurately, the first riff I ever learned on my electric guitar was the opening to the blink-182 song “what’s my age again”.  My brother Richard showed me where to put my fingers in which strings to play and then demonstrated in front of me how to play it. Something clicked rather fast for me in guitar and within a month and a half I had mastered that guitar riff and was ready to learn the next riff of the song. 
My mom signed me up for guitar lessons at the local music shop, Arizona music pro and there I worked with a teacher named Dean who demonstrated how to sound out the guitar parts on the CDs of the bands that I liked most. I didn’t stay for that many lessons as once I saw how Dean was sounding it out I thought, “why not just do this myself?“. And a legend was born… Lol JKJK soon after that, I learned how to read guitar tableture books and promptly started collecting all of my favorite musicians, album song books which I would spend hours studying with the goal of playing along with the entire CD without stopping. ￼
Now I write and record myself and perform locally here in the Seattle area. I’m currently practicing with one group while collaborating with my brother who lives in Kansas City, Missouri. He, Curtis Yazza Jr, is featured in two of my most recent uploads. 
Thanks for reading if you’ve read this far. Feel free to send me a message and please listen to everyone of my songs. 

Love, Claire ￼
