Proofreading Memories

(Joshua Lyons)

It's about the confusion and the search for meaning in little moments after a relationship ends abruptly.

Verse 1
Everyone is slowly dying
I'm gasping for air
Grasping for the hand of
Someone who was never there
The blinds are drawn
Like her eyebrows
She folds me like a sheet
I never failed the test
The best I got was incomplete

Chorus
I'm proofreading memories
Speeding through stories
That I have not read
She read me like a poem
That she never understood
Though she made it up
Inside of her head

Verse 2
What you're selling
I'm not buying 
I don't really care
Here's a check for
All of it
Cancelled before you l
Hit the stair
Gypsy vans and caravans
They're driving down the street
A dead end cul de sac
Drive in circles
Never meet

Repeat Chorus

Bridge
Learn to love me phonetically
Like learning a new language 
You speak apathetically
My love for you will
Cease to grow
I know you don't care 
I just wanted you to know

Repeat Chorus

Panic Button

By Diana Olosho

This is a song about guys who you and your friend thought you’ve figured out. However they end up being more than what we actually thought. For example I thought this guy was just a cute, nice and maybe a bit shy guy but he is actually the opposite, he is quite straightforward. Hence why I was left a bit shocked at 4 o’clock in the morning. So I texted my friend and she couldn’t believe it as well. Despite being in this situation I think it’s really funny so the lyrics are meant to be for a cheerful song.

There is You

By Katelyn Dodd

Relationships are not flawless, but it is important to appreciate those flaws among the kind-hearted actions that have drawn two souls together. 'There is You' acknowledges that things can be tough, while emphasizing highlights of behavior that allows the focus to be reinstated where it belongs, on unconditional love for another human.
