(Verse 1) 
 
Awaken in the morning, I still see the rush of the demons 
Fighting with myself, my mind, without rhyme or reason 
It’s colder in my bed than it ever was before 
I guess I’m getting used to but I don’t want to feel anymore 
I see you trying to get but you never will, so just stop trying 
I fall face-first into a canyon of thieving and lying 
 
(Chorus) 
 
I don’t want to be me 
Anymore  
Please just let me be 
Shut the door  
Trying to escape 
So I bite my tongue 
Trying everyday 
I’m not getting young 
I don’t want to be me 
Anymore 
 
(Verse 2) 
 
Mother Nature runs her course, now my health is fading  
Mentally and physically, I am just so sick of waiting 
Help me, I am scared, I don’t see another way out 
I don’t want to reside in hellish thing they call a house 
 
(Chorus) 
 
I don’t want to be me 
Anymore  
Please just let me be 
Shut the door  
Trying to escape 
So I bite my tongue 
Trying everyday

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?

I can't cry

By Howard Aronson

This is a fictional lyric about having a partner who stands by your side no matter what. Basically they save your life. But the sadness of what I have done, still takes over Me, and it's hard to smile. It's so much easier to cry, and stay in that sadness. But I have to learn to appreciate and be grateful for the people in my life who never left me, never wavered, and always believed in me. Today it brings a smile to my face but I couldn't let them see me cry.
