Lyrics:

gemini

stuck with ghosts that hide inside
shells of all the souls faded from my life
scared & haunted I keep holding back
afraid to catch the knife they used to stab

too cold & closed to see a fire ignite
I almost miss the one blazing outside

now I see
no more darkness at night
in the stars I see gemini
twinkling beacons of light
shooting sparks cross my eyes

I see hope in sight
I see hope in sight

but my shadow self loves picking fights
mental battles that eat me alive
never wanted to keep holding back
i’ll leave the ghosts behind - out of sight out of mind

let in the heat to feel a fire ignite
might be a brand new flame blazing outside

now i see
no more darkness at night
in the stars I see gemini
twinkling beacons of light
shooting sparks cross my eyes

I see hope in sight
I see hope in sight

no more darkness at night
can’t stop staring at gemini
shining beacon of light
right in front of my eyes
I see hope in sight

gemini

lyrics

when the cowboy comes home 
he finds his cowgirl tied up in rope
unable to move she says 
he’s welcome to take control

there’s no fear in her eyes 
she cries in delight when
she gets to let go
then to the cowboys surprise 
another cowgirl comes out in a robe

she says
mr cowboy
don’t be alarmed 
we’ve been waiting for you to join
call me an outlaw
tell me it’s wrong but
don’t we all just want to feel loved?

I have traveled through time and space
i guess fate led me to this place
Let me lay in your arms all night
an oasis, in your embrace

oooo
who needs to choose
your heart has plenty of room
oooo
no need to duel
your cowgirl wants me too

so i’ll lasso both of you
i’ll lasso you
hope you lasso me too

lasso

Lyrics:

Voices never filter out
Background noises get too loud
I can’t turn the volume down

Frequencies start resonating
Sounds so overstimulating
Sweet symphony from hell so

I wear a mask
I’m caught in the act
I play a role 
to keep you comfortable

I’m forced to be in society 
that wasn’t made for me
About to collapse
I’m stuck in this trap

Caught in the act
Caught in the act 

I get dizzy making rounds
Spinning head on shaky grounds
I get nauseous in crowds

Conversations I avoid 
When I can’t come up with words
cuz my tongue ties me down so

I wear a mask
I’m caught in the act
I play a role to keep you comfortable

I spend energy in society 
that won’t pay off for me
It sets me back
I’m stuck in this trap

Caught in the act
Caught in the act
Caught in the act

Practice my monologue
Make sure my face is not 
putting my thoughts on display

Fake it or get kicked off
ever since Shakespeare wrote
all the worlds a stage

If i take off my mask
I’m caught in the act
My cover is blown
I’m naked and exposed

Struggle to be in society 
that doesn’t fight for me
Try to push back
but i’m stuck in this trap

caught in the act

Lyrics:

When you drive toward no kind of destination
You let go, caught in cruise control 
I don’t wanna brush aside major dividers
Don’t let us hit a wall

Will I ever lay to rest my hesitation?
Digging graves to stay in my lane
If I try flee my past with no direction
It’s just an aimless getaway

Slow down, you’re driving me crazy
Slow down, I’m right off the brake
Slow down, you’re pushing me baby
Slow down, we’re stuck in the fast lane

Pop the clutch but don’t rush; 
I’ll make a break for it
Exit on my right 
Leave your hands on the wheel, keep us steady
Make me ready 

Slow down, you’re driving me crazy
Slow down, I’m right off the brake
Slow down, you’re pushing me baby
Slow down, we’re stuck in the fast lane

Stuck in the fast lane
stuck in the fast lane
stuck in the fast lane

Let's get in the right lane

fast lane

Lyrics:

I don’t remember diving
Off the deep end denying
That I’d rather get carried away 
Than keep on wading in the tide

Disarming alarms is trying
To embrace the ache I’m fighting
But I’d rather be snapped awake 
Than keep on waiting for the time

My eyes are open, hopin’
I’ve got the blues
You know it’s true
I’ve got the blues for you

I’ve got the blues
Yeah, you know it’s true
I’ve got the blues
I’ve got the blues for you

I stayed on a mountain climbing
To escape the heat arising
But I’d rather fall flat on my face
Than keep from saying I’m inclined

Persuaded me out of hiding
Celebrate the voice I’m finding
Now I’d rather come out to play
And face the music you inspire

My eyes are open, hopin’
I’ve got the blues
I’ve got the navy and grey and green 
Scenery painting
Infused hazy hues

I’ve got the blues
Yeah, you’ve got ‘em too
You’ve got cerulean truly insatiable 
Hazy hues

My eyes are open, hopin’
I’ve got the blues
My eyes are open, hopin’
You see it too 💙

blind to me lyrics

i’m in the wrong place
what a waste of time
taking the beaten path constructed in my mind

Heavy headspace
full of weighted lies
that I don’t have strength to get an honest grip on life

When I don’t claim how I feel
the truth I hate becomes real
my aching heart is bursting to come clean

i wanna be seen but you’re blind to me
you’re blind to me

i’m over the chase
let my heart catch up
i’m tripping from skipping beats & missing milestones

keep me here safe
my emotions raw
don’t let me run off before i name the ones i caught

when i don’t claim how I feel
the truth I hate becomes real
my aching heart is bursting to come clean

i wanna be seen but you’re blind to me
you’re blind to me
you’re blind to me
you’re blind to me

I wish you could see
But you’re blind to me
i wish you could see
but you’re blind to me

I can’t deny how i feel
one look - these eyes do reveal
my aching heart is bursting to come clean
i wanna be seen, but you’re blind to me

blind to me

Ryan Cassata - HOWL (Protest Song) Cover by Nina Nepa

hate was never serving you ❤️‍🩹 

Lyrics:

feel no pain from sharpened blades
cut so deeply used in vein
keeping secrets keeps you numb

fade in fade out
you start losing your grip
push enough lethal drugs 
to send you off a cliff 

close your eyes to escape
you’re ready to mend, too tired to win
the fight to tell yourself

goodbye to hate so bitter
goodbye to sabotage
can’t go back and re-write history
shaped by all your scars

rip out the shame you buried
dig deep down to the roots
Love grows only where you water
hate was never serving you

dysmorphia will feed you lies
too much to chew on every time 
eating secrets eats you up

fade in fade out
poisoned thoughts make you sick
sour taste
stomach bugs 
crawling out of your skin

close your eyes to escape
you’re locked up in chains 
with the key in your hands
trapped until you wave

goodbye to hate so bitter
goodbye to sabotage
can’t go back and rewrite history
shaped by all your scars

rip out the shame you buried
dig deep down to the roots
Love grows only where you water
hate was never serving you

reject the silent but deadly curse 
end the violence the stigma hurts
show defiance and use your words
break the chain when you say

goodbye to hate so bitter
goodbye to sabotage
can’t go back and re-write history
but time will help heal your scars

rip out the shame you buried
dig deep down to the roots
Love grows everywhere you water
hate was never serving you

goodbye

lyrics

don’t need to speak but i feel heard
got me wrapped up in your words
you make poetry sound better
perfect harmonies in letters 
you make pen and paper sing

mhhhmmm mhhhmmm
mhhhmmm mhhhmmm

don’t need to reach to feel your touch
you keep me safe in hands i trust
my troubles still tethered won’t
have a hold on me forever
ill fight for love to win

mhhhmmm mhhhmmm 
mhhhhmm mhhhhhmm

electrified, i am too high
from the chemicals still pulsing down my spine
careful now, i am too high
I hate the crash that shocks me back to life

mhhhmmm mhhhmmm 
mhhhhmm mhhhhhmm 

don’t need to speak but i feel heard 
(i feel heard)
don’t need to reach to feel your touch 
(can’t get enough of your touch)
don’t need an out, cause i’m all in 
(i’m all in)
you make the pen and paper sing

pen + paper

lyrics

found an oasis in your face
your gentle heart that offers grace
how you move how you make space
you move me with every embrace

your oasis
feels like home
when my emotions running cold
you give me shelter in your arms
i’m not the same anymore
from all the grief and all the joy

don’t need a guitar strike a chord
your wisdom speaks in every word
your fire ignites me
desire feeds my soul
you radiate so bright its make me glow

your oasis
feels like home
when my emotions running cold
you give me shelter in your arms
i’m not the same anymore
from all the grief and all the joy
your oasis makes me feel loved
 
your oasis makes me feel loved

oasis

lyrics

flood gates are thirsty to open up
bursting to go with the flow
pressure’s been building & building 
no fixing this dam
about to explode

can’t cast away this energy
we’re edging toward catastrophe
under a veil

so take the leap
go down with me
don’t let me be a casualty
but that ship has sailed

send out an SOS
send out an SOS
send out an SOS
wreck me, i'm in distress

heat waves are washing all over me
drenching my skin til I'm soaked
temperatures rising & rising 
i’m hot for the chance 
to rip off my clothes

can’t you feel this energy? 
we’re edging into
ecstasy
under a veil

i wanna scream
go down on me
my ex won't be a casualty
that ship has sailed

send out an SOS
send out an SOS
send out an SOS
come for me - don't make me beg

lost out at sea
i hope you find me
i’ll be here waiting so patiently
if danger ensues
the closer you move
i'll risk it for you

send out an SOS
send out an SOS
send out an SOS
i think i made a mess

SOS (demo)

happy valentine’s day 💕

open lyrics

you opened my heart up again
carved out a new space 
for a friend, beau & lover
blind by toxic men tainting life
but when i gaze in your eyes
i see 
what love could look like
what love could look like

chills rushing over
just brushing your shoulder 
electrified eyes notice
how bright i’m glowing
vibrations are growing
too big to control them
the moment you brought me on stage
everything changed
you shook me awake

you opened my heart up again
spread out a new space 
i can rest
under your cover
i will bring you out of free fall
you can land in my arms
you’ll see 
what i see 

what love can look like
what love can look like
what love feels like

impossible lyrics

my rule 
as an outcast in school:
don’t trust a pack 
over trusting my truth

but i’m a fool 
to think i can evade
new sets of daggers that 
glare in my face

pardon my name with a 
scarlet disclaimer
mark my chest with a 
warning sign

warning, i’m

easy to like
impossible to love
what makes me human
makes humans cut & run

easy to like
impossible to fall 
without falling apart

it’s impossible
impossible

well
i don’t wanna be human
my flesh & bones 
shepherd the shame
i don’t care to hold in the future
watch my value go down
selling out for the crowd

pardon my name with a 
scarlet disclaimer
mark my chest with a 
dollar sign

selling, im

easy to like
impossible to love
what makes me human
makes humans cut & run

easy to like
impossible to fall 
without falling apart

i’m impossible
impossible 

history lives in this cynical heart
fractured & scarred
pieces sit piling up
throw out the junk
pick up the shards

scratch the disclaimer
i got it all wrong

i’m easy to like
worthy of love
i’m only human
sensitive and soft

easy to like
it’s possible to fall 
without falling apart

impossible

Bon Iver has been one of my favorite artists since 2007 when he released his debut album, "For Emma Forever Ago". Crying my eyes out at every listen, "Skinny Love" has been integral to my growth while helping me release cathartic & painful emotions. In 2011, Birdy created a beautiful cover & I hoped to mashup both versions to create my own. Thank you for listening! ✨ Let’s connect and make some art together✨
