*Lyrics*

I tried to push you away			   
Just like with everyone else 
I put my problems on display 
And you just want to help 

I know how much my baggage weighs
Don’t want you to take it all on yourself 
I can’t believe you want to stay
You see through my hardened shell 

I want to 
To trust you 
But I’m afraid of being played
I’ve been burned
So I’ve learned 	
To keep people at arm’s length

There’s something different about you
What you say is what you do
You make me feel like I’m renewed
You always brighten up my mood

And when I come unglued 
You still pursue
A way to get me through
I want to trust you
And I think I’m starting to

I was too young when it began
I trusted him at first
I suffered greatly at his hands
And it only got worse

No matter how far I ran (ran)
I was chased by his curse
So I'd believe that if a man (man)
Hurt me it’s what I deserve

I’m crying (Ooo)
But trying (Ooo)
To heal myself as fast I can
But you care (Ooo)
And you’re there (Ooo)
You make me feel safe again

There’s something different about you
What you say is what you do
You make me feel like I’m renewed
You always brighten up my mood
And when I come unglued 
You still pursue
A way to get me through
I want to trust you
And I think I’m starting to

I know the truth now
I won’t fall for mind games or deceit
I know my worth now
I don’t need a man to be complete	
		
And I’m not cursed now
I see right through the liars and the cheats
So let’s work this out
Together there is nothing we can’t beat

Oo oo ooo ooo

There’s something different about you
What you say is what you do
You make me feel like I’m renewed
You always brighten up my mood

And when I come unglued 
You still pursue
A way to get me through
I want to trust you
And I think I do
Yeah I think I finally do

I think I do 
I think I do 
I think I do
I think I do

Trust You (Mix 2)

Composed for a short film that is a dark comedy about vampires.

New Nightmare

This piece was inspired by my cat, Chrissy. It was also used in the score for a short film that's a dark comedy.

A Cat's Delight

*Lyrics*

I’ve sat here in silence
Too afraid to speak
Of your perverted violence
You feel strong when I am weak
You display your power
In your control over me
In terror I cower
Trembling on my knees

For every time you held me down
And forced me to comply
And all those times I felt the sting
Parts of me would die
Parts of me would die

You can’t buy my silence anymore
It won’t work, it won’t work
The words that you said I’ve learned to ignore
They can’t hurt they won’t hurt		
I see them for the lies that they are		     
And all the wounds you made are now just scars
Now I know that you’re the one who’s wrong
And you are weak, and I am strong

I’ve lived my life in fear
Of the next assault
People made it clear
That it’s all my fault
It’s sad just how common
My experiences are
There are too many women
Who hide behind their scars
 
To everyone who’s been victimized
And felt powerless and ashamed
Stand in the sun knowing you survived
And you’re not the one to blame
Not the one to blame

He can’t buy your silence anymore
It won’t work, it won’t work
The words that he said you can learn to ignore 
They can’t hurt they won’t hurt			
You’ll see them for the lies that they are
And all the wounds he made will just be scars
Now you know that he’s the one who’s wrong
And he is weak, and you are strong

Why do we
Live in a society
That’s so ready
To judge and disbelieve
Is it not enough
To live through the crime
But nothing can stop us
From speaking up this time

They can’t buy our silence anymore
It won’t work, it won’t work
The words that they said we’ve learned to ignore 
They can’t hurt they won’t hurt				
We see them for the lies that they are
And all the wounds they made are now just scars
Now we know that they’re the ones who are wrong
And they are weak, and we are strong

Trust You

I’ve been fighting since the beginning
It’s been hard but I keep on winning
So many things always being thrown my way
Too many problems with prices to pay

But even when it seems impossible 
I won’t give up
Even when I feel incapable 
I won’t give in
I won’t give up

No matter where I am
I’m still here
When life disrupts my plans
I’ll persevere
I won’t go down without a fight
And if I fall, I’ll be alright
Because after all is said and done
I’ll still be here
I’ll still be here

For most my life I’ve felt defective
But now I have a new perspective
I won’t let my past define me
And letting it go will make me free

And when I’m weighed down by the burdens
I won’t give in
Because I know one thing for certain
I won’t give up
I won’t give in

No matter where I am
I’m still here
When life disrupts my plans
I’ll persevere
I won’t go down without a fight
And if I fall, I’ll be alright
Because after all is said and done
I’ll still be here
I’ll still be here
Be here
 
Each day I get a little farther
Each time I get a little smarter
I’m no damsel in distress
I’m not some sleeping princess
Just waiting for a kiss

No matter where I am
I’m still here
When life disrupts my plans
I will persevere
I won’t go down without a fight
And if I fall, I’ll be alright
Because after all is said and done
I’ll still be here

I’ll still be here
I’ll still be here
I’ll still be here
