Something to Believe In The moment I woke up Was the day the tests came back With ev’ry word that left his lips Sweat poured down my back. Heart pounding, mind racing, Soul screaming, paralyzing, Knee buckling, blood draining disbelief. (God this isn’t real.) With ev’ry breath I’m filled with fear Please dear Lord, don’t leave me alone here Bring your angels, I need you near, To say, “Fear not” (God) Then give me Something to believe in Something to hold Something to cling to Before I feel too old Wrap it around me, Taste, touch, behold Cuz seeing is believing. (Won’t you tell me please?) Something to believe in, Something to hold Something to dream about Before my blood runs cold Inject it like serum Let the truth be told Lord I need it now (Won’t you tell me please?) What is it about death I fear? I’m really not having such a good time here. Will I land in hell and burn forever The pain and torment of the devils den? Who’s to say I haven’t done it right? Maybe I’m moving towards the Light Dying will get me closer to God I’ll be there to watch the Angels applaud And they’ll give me Something to Believe in Something I can see Something I can touch And it can set me free Something I can taste on the tip of my tongue Make me feel alive again, make me feel young (Won’t you tell me please?) Something to believe in A path that warms my heart That gives my life meaning A brand new start Something to believe in A sign to give me hope A promise, a purpose, an eternal telescope (Won’t you tell me please?) And what difference would it make if I ended it all now? Please dear Lord just make it stop, I really don’t care how. Swallow the pills, fire the gun, Turn on the gas and let it run, Either way the devil’s won, Who’s to care? (Not you) Where are you now? Now that I need you Please show me how How I can see you. But I guess that’s the way he wants it, To end it would be a sin This is our trial, our test of faith Endure the suffering, and win the race It’s not our show It’s his to run, we can only come home Like the prodigal son Do our best to give up control Bide our time, walk in faith And search for Chorus Chorus

All These Fears Words and Music by Juliet Wright Chorus: When will I shed all these fears and live? When will I stop being selfish and give? When will I face all these fears and break free? Why am I so afraid to be me? Verse 1: As a child I could feel creatures Crawling up my legs All alone in my bed at night I’d jump and cry and beg Verse 2: I was truly afraid of monsters I knew they were under my bed Or hiding in my closet Slowly invading my head Prechorus: Bug-eyed it was 3:00 am Watching ghosts float down the hall Out to get me they truly were The most frightening of all Out of breath My heart was pounding Covers up to my chin I’d scream the nightmare silent scream No sound no rescue no win. Chorus: When will I shed all these fears and live? When will I stop being selfish and give? When will I face all these fears and break free? Why am I so afraid to be me? Verse 3: Now I cry that cupid will curse me And I’ll live my life alone. My glass is empty for all to see And their hearts will turn to stone. Verse 4: A fatal mistake will finish me Like Eve’s tragic fall And people will finally find out What’s really behind my wall. Prechorus: Fear and pain are my offering They attack my heart once more. My nerves are throbbing like guitar strings in arpeggios that soar. If we stand in opposite corners Hearts and minds exposed Am I strong enough to stand it With my battle scars exposed Chorus: When will I shed all these fears and live? When will I stop being selfish and give? When will I face all these fears and break free? Why am I so afraid to be me? Bridge: I have always lived in a sea of fear Waiting for a shoe to drop Waiting for my heart to stop Pounding through my chest. Now I’ll confront my fears a head on Speak my truth, sing my song, And if you choose to walk away. After you’ve heard what I have to say, At least I believed in me. Chorus: When will I shed all these fears and live? When will I stop being selfish and give? When will I face all these fears and break free? Why am I so afraid to be me?

Happily Ever After Music by Juliet Wright Lyrics by Juliet Wright and Nicole Wilde Verse 1: I think I’d like to play queen for a day Dress up in lace With just a trace Of innocence On my mind Verse 2: Remember we’d stray down fantasies way Walk down the aisles With grown up smiles Our hands full of childish dreams Chorus: Kings and Queens and movie scenes And wishes that always come true That’s how it’s planned in this magic land Of happily ever after.

Bridge: Talking on the phone from day to day Will the horse and carriage Ever come our way? Are we missing something here As we wait and wait in fear Of loneliness Verse 5: The flowers are dead and the lace is torn The soles of these shoes Are bloody well worn I really don’t think I can go through this again Chorus: Kings and Queens and movie scenes And wishes that always come true That’s how it’s planned in this magic land Of happily ever after.

Lonelyhearts 04:03
Lonely-hearts His eyes follow her around the room Day after day Watching her dive deeper into her gloom Wasting life away He knows He knows all her secrets Her darkest thoughts translucent She’s just not getting it at all He’s wondering if she’ll ever get it right Lonely-hearts will you start tonight? Wondering if she’ll ever see the Light inside Herself. He watches her waiting by the phone But it never rings. Examines her e-dates endlessly Searching for her king He sees Miss Lonely-hearts out of luck tonight You might as well give up the fight Turn off the phone Turn out the light. Chorus Warm blue eyes Long to kiss her And console her As he whispers From his gilded frame. You’re looking for something That doesn’t exist There is no prince or domestic bliss The American Dream is just that A dream Sealed with a kiss. He watches as she wrestles with her thoughts Kicking and screaming like a child distraught Not wanting to believe the awful truth Chorus His eyes follow her around the room Day after day Watching her dive deeper into her gloom Wasting life away He sees Her table is still set for two Cheap china and steamy dreams of you Oh how hope dies hard…..

But in Front of Me Words and Music by Juliet Wright Verse 1: The sign says reduced speed ahead But all I see are empty spaces That remind me of the empty faces Staring back at me day after day Any brilliance night time follies erases They forget (ignore) me Empty spaces Chorus 1: But in front of me Are the children of Saint Mary Our dreams will they carry on. With love I can see Their souls search for truth Eager to leave youth behind. But can I see? Verse 2: The sign says “Have a nice day.” But all I see is white Green hides beneath white crystal coats Of ice and snow This wind chills me to the bone. Making minutes go by like hours Frozen spaces. Chorus 2: But in front of me The earth is asleep. Why do I weep and moan? This rest she needs To bring spring to life the time when she takes her throne. But Can I see. Bridge: Down the road I know he’s there. The one who’s true and calls me fair. It’s hard to tell what the future holds But I’ll be alright. For my Lord, I know he’s there. Verse 3: The sign says “prepare to stop.” But all I want to do is run. Run from the gray trees and sky Gray on the road ahead And the gray in my reflection. The gray in your dying face. But in front of me. Is a man who’s done his time. He’s learned his lessons fine for now. He’ll be taken back. To try and try again. Our lessons they send us back. But can I see? Can I see? Can I see? Nothing but the beating of my heart. Nothing but the beating of my heart. Verse 4: The sign says ICU But all I see are white walls Tired to my bed unable to move What’s happening to me Concerned faces stare down at me. Lord I’m frightened. Desperate spaces. Chorus 4: But in front of me Is the paradise I’ve searched for. Fear it has lurked for so long. Now I can leave This troubled world behind. Be with the One who’s true and kind. But can I see? Can I see? Can I see? Can I see? There’s nothing but he beating of my heart. Nothing but the beating of my heart.

My Sinking Ship All aboard my sinking ship My sun is setting fast Melancholy madness This gloom I can’t get past. Desperation seeks me Her alter has been cast Deaths boatman I would welcome him To stop her whip so fast. It starts with a song And a memory They oft go hand in hand Reminiscing, Africa, Offramp has your brand. Our ship has sailed And here I am clinging to the mast I’m a shipwrecked woman Living in the past. Then I embrace my sadness It fits me like a glove All aboard my sinking ship My sun is setting fast Melancholy madness This gloom I can’t get past. Desperation seeks me Her alter has been cast. Deaths boatman I would welcome him To stop her whip so fast Wrong words fall Like rain in summer Sad eyes pierce my skin My flower turns upon itself Puts me in this fix I’m in Nary is a petal left Beauty destroyed by blame In prison I have placed myself Built with bricks of shame Then I embrace my anguish It fits me like a glove All aboard my sinking ship My sun is setting fast Melancholy madness This gloom I can’t get past. Desperation seeks me Her alter has been cast. My Lord I would welcome him To take me home at last. Six strings and a melody Sharp four major seven That’s the answer to my prayers A lifeboat straight to heaven. Then I embrace my music It fits me like a glove It takes all my strength to climb the stairs The others are behind me It’s up to me to save them all Responsibility But I am tired and way too slow In pain I can’t hold on. Only God can get me through this And convince me to go on. Then I embrace my loving God He fits me like a glove. All aboard my saving ship My sun is rising fast Melancholy madness This gloom I’m finally past Desperation sought me Her alter had been cast But God has sailed me through it My soul free at last.

Midgard (The Worms) Words and Music by Juliet Wright Verse 1: I pass the old woman With glasses walking You’re on the right path she says Keep on going, I am the Lord This is one of my disguises Prechorus: In my dreams I grabbed a Swarm of matted flies As I reached into my soul Verse 2: The guy with the weird eye is here He watches me like a hawk He sees the worms inside of me As I try to run but walk Prechorus: He’s a mighty man And you can’t do that As he plays with the worms like pets Just face them and you’ll be okay Chorus: But Midgard shows his face again I sure don’t see him as my friend I am surrounded there is no end You’re help please send And Midgard catches me again I must dig deep to reach the end I am obsessed I must transcend Again Verse 3: Looking for my truth with him In a cabin beside the road Lots of people here trying To help me ease my load Prechorus: A woman in pink Her baby dropping things Says You have to keep on trying Someday your soul will sing Chorus: But Midgard shows his face again I sure don’t see him as my friend I must dig deep to reach the end My soul to mend. And Midgard catches me again I must dig deep to reach the end I am obsessed I must transcend Again Bridge: Out they come My worms They’re here Blame, obsession, Self-hate and fear It’s time to weed this wormwood From my fruitful brain For years Under your scrutiny Your mind was wrapped Around yourself But now the child is here And crying mutiny Verse 4: Lady with the glasses Just looks at me No longer knows what to say The man with the weird eye Has turned and finally walked away Prechorus: They’re bowing out They’ve had enough Of fruitless tries with me They’ve set me free Chorus: And Midgard shows his face again I sure don’t see him as my friend I am surrounded There is no end You’re help you send And Midgard follows me again I must dig deep to reach the end I am obsessed I must transcend Again He’s bearing down but I defend My digging trains me to transcend I kiss his face, he is my friend My soul God mends. My soul God mends. My soul God mends. My soul God mends. (repeat this on tag.) Extra stuff: Beneath my voice Flowing less sweetly Where these worms Living inside me Crawling, wiggling, Infesting, polluting Self doubt, blame, hatred, lust, fear Inferiority All my life I have made these a priority These are my worms Crawling out from behind every wall Too powerful to be ignored.
