Lyrics:
A simple look full of grace
Brought me down to earth like petals on the plain
Now you’ve gone, now you’ve flown
Now I won’t ever see that look on your face

That tells me all the words I need to hear
Even if they don’t mean anything to you
You were one step away from your true salvation
And it all gets swept from under your shoes

But I don’t want to know
A world where you’re not here, it’s a world I fear
And now I’ve come undone, wishing for a rising sun 
To bring me back to today in the world of yesterday

Can’t imagine how I’ll be without you next to me
In the new world that you yearned to see
Your mother’s smile it gleams, it’s bursting through the seams
I’m walking down your street everyday thinking

What if you’d been here
Fatal whispers in the field where you used to call my name
But it doesn’t matter now because I’m carrying your faith
Though I wish things turned out different, it’s all the same

But I won’t be alone
Your spirit lives through me, flowing down the stream
And now I’ve dried my tears, and I’ll conquer all my fears
Of never seeing a today in the world of yesterday

But I will still survive
Even if you’re not here, you’re still my dear
Now it’s all been said and done, a new world has just begun
I still remember your face
I will remember your name
I still wish I could see your face in the world of yesterday

The World of Yesterday

Lyrics:
How could I embrace or escape
The shackles of my faithless fate
Fading light, frozen face
Porcelain puddles of disgrace

I know you’ve given your all, I can’t sit and watch as you fall
I just wish you could say my name and wash my fears away

Come back to me my dear, my rock, just put your hand in mine
I can’t see how I’d live if you would leave us all behind
If I could turn back time, I’d be the daughter you adore
And I’m sure I’d even the score

I’ve never been a shining star
Never listened, always fought
If I lost you I would break into a million shards
Believe me she is innocent
This wicked witch is speaking nonsense
I swear on my life she is innocent

You know I’ve given my all, I’ve taught you to stand strong and tall
I can’t let you take my place knowing things would never change

Come back to me my dear, my pride, just put your hand in mine
My love for you will endure beyond my destined sacrifice
Once you see the truth you’ll know there’s nothing to fight for
You can’t even the score

I can’t just sit and stare at our future in despair
Never knowing when it will come to an end
Just take me instead, I’ll be your eye for an eye
The truth of the past is something you can’t defy

You don’t have to be a martyr (no way)
You just have to be my mother (so stay)
Let her go and I will make this right again

Come back to me my dear, my rock, just put your hand in mine
We can conquer our fears and break your destined sacrifice
Let us find our way and we will patch our wings and soar
Once more, we’ll even the score

This is the promise of a lifetime for generations to come
We’ll make it right again once more, we’ll even the score

Even the Score

Lyrics:
I look at the life I’m living, and it seems so unforgiving
Our legacy has atrophied down to the bone
And I’m thinking
How could I ever deserve this
Everything in sight has gone awry
Every note, every sign

I beg and kneel but don’t make a sound
My voice, my screams, they’ve all been shot down
Out of sight, out of mind, I toe the line
For the answer I can’t find

Tell me why, all my cries have gone unheard
Tell me why, she thinks there’s no cause for concern
I find myself yearning for a way to change the past
I hope I can escape the shadow I cast

What goes around always seems to come back to me
Living lies, picking sides, but my fire’s fading
I can’t seem to make her trust me
Tell me what is it I’m missing

Back and forth between the optics
I can’t see clear in a fate so tragic
I shut my eyes, cross the line, in hopes that
I can bring her back to life

Tell me why, she’s got such blind loyalty
Tell me why, she can’t foresee her fatality
I find myself yearning for a way to change the past
I hope I can escape the shadow I cast

But I don’t want to hide away, counting stars wishing every day
Would be different and we could be one again
And I break my bones and run away from home
To fulfil my promise to the girl she was before

Tell me why, all this blood is on my hands
Tell me why, I just can’t get another chance
I find myself always looking back
I hope I can bring back a change that will last
From the shadow I cast

The Shadow I Cast

Lyrics:
I have a vision, I have a dream
To be the greatest you’ve ever seen
I am the villain, won’t deny it
You can say I’m green with envy
But when they remember me, they’ll remember me as their queen

I did all the work, I did what they needed
I saw all I’m worth, but still they didn’t
I even put my hands in soil (my precious bare hands)
I even married a fucking airhead

I checked all the boxes, took care of all his losses
So what, he couldn’t, and look at me, I have nothing
But Mahsuri, look at her
She’s so perfect, the leading woman of the village (well, not for long)

Cause I’m just a woman, just a woman
A woman in pain, in need of power
A woman, I’m just a woman
A woman in pain, in need of power

I loved another, but we’ll never be
It’s a life of power stolen from me
What could’ve been, her ultimate sin
Is the cards that she drew from the water of the womb

Cause I’m just a woman, just a woman
A woman in pain, in need of power
A woman, I’m just a woman
A woman in pain, who don’t have the power

I scheme, I plot, should be given all the credit
When all is said and done, I swear she’ll regret it
You’re not a victim, nor a vindicating vixen
Sisters don’t stab each other’s backs (who said she’s my sister)

Cause I’m just a woman
My own woman, a woman in pain in need of power
A woman, just a woman
A woman in pain with all the power

A woman in power, a woman in power
Pain and power, pain and power
No pain just power, no more pain just power
Pain and power, pain and power, pain and power, pain (and power)

Pain and Power

Lyrics:
Now that she’s gone, I have a duty to fulfil
It feels so impossible, a vice so incurable
Now that she’s gone, I’ve been left to my own devices
To quell my fears in karmic crises knowing she’s left me too soon

Sayang, you’re everything to me
Our time’s slipped through my fingers, and all I can do is grieve
For all the moments you’d been so unforgiving
I’ll mourn the woman, not the girl who’s been hurting

Now that she’s gone, I know what it is I must do
I don’t quite catch your drift, is it a temporal bait and switch
Now that she’s gone, I’ve got to bring her story to light
My god you’ve really lost your mind, there’s no way you can trek through time

Sayang you’re everything to me
You can’t face the world alone on a dream you can’t achieve
It’s inconceivable, this journey you’re taking
Just take my hand, and I’ll guide you to light

But I have the duty she left me
An impossible mission but I at least have to try
I am her daughter and her fight isn’t over
I’ve got a legacy to mend and revive

Now that she’s gone, I have to take each chance I get
For the cost of what I’ve lost, my duty is bound
Now that she’s gone

Now That She's Gone
