I signed my name in silver ink on pages I can't read
They said it's just how things are done, it's not really greed
Got a corner office view of everything I've lost
But I'm smiling in the photos, never counting up the cost

And I tell myself it's different
I tell myself it's fine
I'm not like all the others
I just crossed a different line

There's no cool way to sell your soul
No matter how you dress it up
Just degrees of denial
Degrees of denial

You can call it compromise, call it getting old
Call it anything you want, but we both know
It's just degrees of denial
Degrees of denial

I used to write for no one, now I write for everyone
Used to mean the words I sang, now I sing until they're done
Got a playlist full of algorithms telling me who I am
And I'm dancing to the data while forgetting where I began

And I tell myself I'm winning
Tell myself I've made it here
That the person in the mirror
Is someone I revere

There's no cool way to sell your soul
No matter how you dress it up
Just degrees of denial
Degrees of denial

You can call it compromise, call it getting old
Call it anything you want, but we both know
It's just degrees of denial
Degrees of denial

We're all just finding ways to sleep at night
Telling stories that sound right
Justifying every little trade
Every promise that we made
And broke

(We broke, we broke, we broke)

Maybe there's no purity
Maybe it's all shades of grey
But there's a difference between bending
And giving yourself away

So here I am at thirty-five with everything I chased
A hollow kind of victory with a smile across my face
And when they ask me how I did it, how I made it to the top
I just laugh and change the subject before the curtain drops

'Cause there's no cool way to sell your soul
No matter how you spin the tale
Just degrees of denial
Degrees of denial

You can call it evolution, call it staying bold
Dress it up in fancy words, but you already know
It's just degrees of denial
Degrees of denial

There's no cool way (no cool way)
There's no right way (there's no right way)
Just degrees of denial
Degrees of denial

Just degrees of denial
We're all in denial
(La la la la)
Degrees of denial
We're all in denial

XPeriment - Degrees Of Denial

In a hidden room where shadows cling
A young girl's voice begins to sing
Through the silence her words take flight
Carving courage in the night

Behind the pages she leaves her mark
With dreams that shatter in the dark
A world on fire can't dim her glow
In her diary truths overflow

The walls may hold her body tight
But can't contain her soul so bright
Her story woven into fate
A message that we won't negate

Anne's voice rises clear and true
Through every fear that seems so new
Her heart keeps beating in the rain
In the ink she finds her name

Her laughter echoes through the pain
In a time of loss she sustains
With hopes that dance in every line
Her spirit fights against the time

She writes of love she writes of fear
Her whispers cross the yesteryear
A secret kept a soul laid bare
In words that float upon the air

The walls may hold her body tight
But can't contain her soul so bright
Her story woven into fate
A diary she did create

Anne's voice rises clear and true
Through every fear that seems so new
Her heart keeps beating in the rain
In the ink she finds her name

Anne's voice rises clear and true
Through every fear that seems so new
Her heart keeps beating in the rain
In the ink she finds her name

Madeline Rowe - Her Name

Lost in the colors of the night
Dancing
Spinning
Feeling so right

Visions swirling
Like a cosmic dream
My mind alive
Bursting at the seams

Drifting through the rhythm
I feel so free
Letting go of all that's binding me
Surrendering myself to the sound
In this idyllic world
I've found

Flashing lights
Pulsing beats
My body moves
Feeling the heat
Electrifying energy fills the air
As I surrender to the music's flare

Drifting through the rhythm
I feel so free
Letting go of all that's binding me
Surrendering myself to the sound
In this idyllic world
I've found

Beyond these kaleidoscope scenes
Where boundaries between self and sonic worlds convene
Could these outer extremes be internal dreams?
Reflections of a deeper well from which consciousness streams

As rhythms pulse through every vein
Am I truly becoming untethered and untamed?
Or am I through this prism regaining
Touch with a primordial soul previously unchained

Lost in the colors of the night
Dancing
Spinning
Feeling so alive

Drifting through the rhythm
I feel so free
Letting go of all that's binding me
Surrendering myself to the sound
In this idyllic world
I've found

Sofia Romano - I Feel So Free

In the whispers of the wind, through the ancient trees
Speaks a wisdom deep and profound, in the rustling leaves
A voice from the past, echoes in our soul
A plea to remember, our sacred role

We are children of the Earth, keepers of the flame
In the circle of life, we're all the same
Chief Seattle's words, like seeds sown in the land
Urging us to protect, to understand

In the rush of rivers, in the eagle's flight
In the stars above, in the moon's soft light
A message of harmony, of living as one
Under the same sky, the same rising sun

We are children of the Earth, keepers of the flame
In the circle of life, we're all the same
Chief Seattle's words, like seeds sown in the land
Urging us to protect, to understand

From the forests to the mountains, to the deep blue sea
In every creature, in you and me
His words echo still, across time and space
A call to action, for the human race

So let's honor his vision, let's make that choice
To listen to nature, to its powerful voice
In the spirit of Seattle, let our actions speak
For a world in balance, for the peace we seek

"Every part of this Earth is sacred," he said
A truth we must cherish, a path we must tread
In the footprints of ancestors, in the earth's embrace
We find our future, our saving grace

From the forests to the mountains, to the deep blue sea
In every creature, in you and me
His words echo still, across time and space
A call to action, for the human race

We are children of the Earth, keepers of the flame
In the circle of life, we're all the same
Chief Seattle's words, like seeds sown in the land
Urging us to protect, to understand

From the forests to the mountains, to the deep blue sea
In every creature, in you and me
His words echo still, across time and space
A call to action, for the human race

Cruella - Her Name

You built me up like Buttercup, melted my heart just right
Promises like paper planes, that never took flight
Said you were my paper boy, delivering the truth
But all your paper money couldn't bring me back my youth

I was living in your paper kingdom
Dancing in your paper dreams
But baby when the rain pours down
Nothing's ever what it seems

Paper houses, paper houses
Wind and water, watch it go
Paper promises, paper kisses
Now I'm putting on a show

Paper chains can't hold me
Paper walls won't break my soul
Paper houses, paper houses
Baby, I'm in control
(Paper, paper, watch it grow)
(Paper, paper, here we go)
(Paper, paper, here we go)

You gave me paper roses, thought I wouldn't see
Your paper-thin excuses never fooled me
I'm not your paper doll to play with anymore
Tore up all your walking papers, threw 'em on the floor

I was living in your paper kingdom
Dancing in your paper dreams
But baby when the rain pours down
Nothing's ever what it seems

Paper houses, paper houses
Wind and water, watch it go
Paper promises, paper kisses
Now I'm putting on a show

Paper chains can't hold me
Paper walls won't break my soul
Paper houses, paper houses
Baby, I'm in control
(Paper, paper, watch it grow)
(Paper, paper, here we go)
(Paper, paper, here we go)

(Break it down now)
Paper tiger, you don't scare me
Paper armor, I can see right through
Paper crown upon your head
But I'm the queen and you're through

Paper cuts don't hurt me
Paper trail led me away
Paper moon above us
I'm dancing into a brand new day

Paper houses, paper houses
Wind and water, watch it go
Paper promises, paper kisses
Now I'm putting on a show

Paper chains can't hold me
Paper walls won't break my soul
Paper houses, paper houses
Baby, I'm in control
(Paper, paper, watch it grow)
(Paper, paper, here we go)
(Paper, paper, here we go)
