(Verse 1) 
 
Your alcoholic breath 
Has me wishing I was dead 
The dangerous path it has lead 
I would still forgive you 
If you’d just apologize  
All your love for me has died 
If there was love, you have lied 
You don’t know what I go through 
 
(PreChorus) 
 
Oh, you’ve picked your favorite now  
I’m decayed, left with a frown  
 
(Chorus) 
 
I’ve had too much on my mind 
And daddy, dear, your daughter is here reaching out  
But I guess I will never find 
You ever saying you’re proud 
How can a person leave a household 
Then make a home with someone else 
And because of you, I’ll never love myself 
 
(Verse 2) 
 
Your routine isn’t cute 
It’s just fucking up my youth 
I’m forever stuck on mute 
I can’t say what happened  
Though my water doused your fire 
The water runs out from my eyes 
Pretty secrets, pretty lies 
Dad, I’m the one saddened 
 
(PreChorus) 
 
And then my sister comes around 
And she runs your entire town  
 
(Chorus) 
 
I’ve had too much on my mind 
And daddy, dear, your daughter is here reaching out  
But I guess I will never find 
You ever saying you’re proud 
How can a person leave a household 
Then make a home with someone else 
And because of XXXX XXXXXX XXXXX XXXX XXXXXX

Avalanche

By Karianne Gabaldon

This is a song about recovery from addiction. I wrote it personally for recovery from an eating disorder, but in reality it can be any addiction. “Addiction is a monster hiding inside your closet; recovery is the flashlight scaring away that monster. Don’t ever think that scaring away that monster is impossible. What’s impossible is thinking you have to live in that sane room where your monster lies for the rest of your life. It’s time to shine; scare away that monster.”

A song about eating disorders and struggling and/or recovering from them. I have been in an out of recovery from atypical anorexia nervosa, binge/purge subtype which is a type of OSFED (Other Specified Feeding and Eating Disorder) since September of 2023, and must I tell you it’s the hardest thing I’ve ever endured. I hope those suffering will someday recover. You are so worth it and so beautiful, you know that?

Bitte keine Blumen

The Low Road

By Joyce Trudeau

If you're like me, you always try to take the high road. But sometimes the insult is so great, the pain so profound that it's justifiable to take the low road.

I can't take it anymore

By Howard Aronson

This lyric is about a girlfriend who's never there emotionally.. They always say they'll be there but whenever you call or try to reach out to them they disappear. This type of scenario would want to make somebody just pull their hair out, and not take it anymore. It's about a selfish person, who cares about only themselves. They know you need their support, but I totally incapable of giving it to you. Thus it's time to close the door on this relationship
