What Does It Mean to Be
By Laurie Blue

Music and lyrics, vocals, guitar, flute, piano, production, and cover art by Laurie Blue

Lyrics:

What does it mean to be
The one you were meant to be
You know who you are, you always knew it
You wait while they’re telling you to
Wait and they’ll show you what they
Think you can handle, nothing to it

You refused to fit the norm
Since the day that you were born
But they always want to assume
And you’ve always got to prove to them
That you can do it

Well, isn’t it cute, they say
You carry his axe, they say
And who was the one who wrote your song, dear
You take a deep breath because
It takes all your patience when you
Hit them with truth that you belong here

You refused to fit the norm
Since the day that you were born
But they always want to assume
And you’ve always got to prove to them
That you can do it

Such a sweet girl now, honey
Do it up pretty, honey
Is it too hard for you to play it
You hold back your answer as you
Hold onto dignity with 
Unspoken words, best not to say it

You refused to fit the norm
Since the day that you were born
But they always want to assume
And you’ve always got to prove to them
That you can do it

When days are the shortest 
But tempers are shorter
And manufactured cheer is all around
She shouts out a word
That freezes him silent
Refusing to utter a sound

In the most wonderful time
In the most wonderful time

That night in their bedroom
She’s got icicle legs
And his are icing up now just the same
She drifts to the edge
A glacier between them
No matter the cause or who’s to blame

In the most wonderful time
In the most wonderful time

With his nose stiff and frozen
He’s got a frost-covered beard
And a sad sort of popsicle below
Who could ever imagine
Two snowpeople in bed
Cold-hearted and chilled to the bone

In the most wonderful time
In the most wonderful time

When morning arrives 
And the sun beams its light
They reach with warm hands toward each other
And wrap themselves together
With their sorries and their kisses
The curse has been lifted by the lovers 

In the most wonderful time
In the most wonderful time

UNTITLED (THEME SONG)

No Way to Recover
By Laurie Blue

Music and lyrics, vocals, guitar, keyboard, flute, production, and cover art by Laurie Blue

Lyrics:
 
Your reputation haunts you as you run around the town
Knowing that the things you built have fallen to the ground
Manipulated friends till they put you in your place
You found yourself a new one, just another pretty face
And there’s no way to recover
No way to recover
 
Starting again with a promise you will break
Chasing after something that you admit is fake
Mocking them for morals that you yourself possess
You’re not the great pretender when it comes to happiness
 
The trust is gone from what you did, too much for you to hide
Temporary pleasure only eats at you inside
You felt the need to tell them even after it was done
There’s nothing that’ll fix it when they all know you were wrong
And there’s no way to recover
No way to recover
 
Starting again with a promise you will break
Chasing after something that you admit is fake
Mocking them for morals that you yourself possess
You’re not the great pretender when it comes to happiness
