Drowning in nostalgia Can't stay a float can't stay awake no more Swimming through the memories Of you and me and all those late nights I don't see well in the dark Like my futures dark, my future was so bright So bright that I couldn't see How much those days and nights meant to me Now I take trips and I take pictures But I can't take time for myself I go out and I go hard But I'm just not going anywhere Singing songs and seeing art Are all that keeps me passing through Being inspired through the exhaustion And fighting to be myself Stay afloat and wide awake I wont let the world break me down Staring to the future I'll get myself back From creeping past and forthcoming fears Now I take trips and I take pictures But I can't take time for myself I go out and I go hard But I'm just not going anywhere

This is a call to action But I swear to you it's true If you fight like hell for me I'll fight like hell for you I'm calling all my sisters Bring allies, we'll need them all We've got to do this together Or united we will fall The cause in intersectional Be inclusive, this is key Because I will fight like hell for you And hope you'll fight like hell for me So friends of all walks of life Lets stand tall strong and proud We wont let them defeat us Together our voice is loud I'm talking 'bout black lives matter And it gets better all the same Women's rights are human rights Our lives are not a game Muslims don't deserve this hatred Trans folks, just leave them be All of us are dying For fucks sake, let in the refugees Because we've been held down for forever And we've been fighting for so long The breaking point is coming, its here! Now help me sing this song This is a call to action But I swear to you its true If you fight like hell for me I'll fight like hell for you This is a call to action But I swear to you its true If you fight like hell for me I'll fight like hell for you

Fuck your heroin Fuck your lies Fuck how ya look in your family's eyes Do it for yourself Don't do it for me Do it for the person you used to be Quit while ya can Before you die die die Quit while ya can before you die (x2) It can't be like this You were strong for so long I know it feels like you don't belong Get on track Before it's too late We don't want to lose you to this drug we hate I don't know why you started You're not alone to blame Addiction is a part of society's game Quit while ya can Before you die die die Quit while ya can before you die (x2) I love you too much To lose you like this There's so much left to see, so much you'll miss You can't let it consume you I know it really bites You have to keep on going, fight fight fight! Fuck your heroin Fuck your lies I don't want you to die die die Quit while ya can Before you die die die Quit while ya can before you die Quit while ya can Before you die die die Quit while ya can or you'll die

I can feel it in my chest And I can feel it in my stomach And I just can't stomach What's happening to these girls Music is salvation Music is our only hope So when the songs deceive us We have no way to know Lyrics are an escape Sound can quiet a mind But assault in the scene Is something I can't get behind We can always turn  to music When there's no where else to go But where do we go next When we're not safe at shows We're ridiculed for fandoms And groped in crowds at shows They see our vulnerability We aren't safe in the front row Bands preach about inclusiveness This should be a safe space But for us girls it's different We're always out of place When I hear what happens What angers me the most Is I know that I am just like them My safety is a joke We can always turn to music When there's no where else to go But where do we go next When we're not safe at shows Music can be therapy Music can be self care But music doesn't care about us It doesn't want us there So I'm deleting all these songs I love Trying to forget words that got me thru  Because if you cant respect us Then we can't support you So Keep your hands off of us Don't even look our way You're not above human decency There's nothing left to say I don't care that your songs helped me  I don't care that I danced along You don't deserve the the girls you've hurt And made feel like they don't belong We can always turn to music When there's no where else to go But where do we go next When we're not safe at shows

I'm Not an Optimist, But I'm Trying to Give a Shit 01:04
lyrics

I'm just trying to remain critical I'm not trying to be a jerk And be conscious of what I consume Even when it hurts Stars have screwed us over Same with people in our lives I want a better world to live in So this is why I strive To be a better person Than I was yesterday I'm not saying that I'm perfect I'll never be that way But I'll call out things that I see wrong In any way I can And listen to the voices More progressive than I am Because it's a learning process I'm sure you agree We've grown a lot over time Anyone can see. Because I can't remain stagnant I don't want to anyway All I can do is try to learn Each and every day I don't mean to be preachy Or contrived and untrue But I'm going to do my best To educate me and you So call out the things that you see wrong That society says are fine Trying to make a difference Is not a waste of time Don't excuse intolerance In any form you see It becomes a slippery slope Stand up for what you believe I know I have a lot to learn To appease my “bleeding heart” I'm proud of who I'm growing to be More than I was at the start

People I've Called Home 03:32
lyrics

I came from implied pick a sides From the day that I was born Downstairs alone in my bedroom I didn't know, I didn't have to choose I come from no stability I come from my own stability That I created to save my world Never thought that would really work (So now I) Grow alone (x4) From walks around the lake Always in the dark Either by myself or with someone else I trusted to work things out From not good enoughs, never good enoughs But only in my own eyes I was full of promise, already ahead At the end of the day, things left unsaid Grow alone (x4) Too tight knit friendships in two tight knit friendships I wanted to be loved back We spent every day together Didn't have to face this lonely weather Thought that I was getting better At keeping bad thoughts at bay But soon I'd learn, that I felt the same And I'd start to starve in the usual way Grow alone (x4) I came to a brand new place I started out with a clean slate I could be the person I was meant to be Far from the friends I wanted to see From not trying new things to all new things In a whirlwind I lost myself I was clinging to who I thought I should be And when I let go, I became me Grow alone (x4) “I love you”s written on my back And it made me scared as hell Didn't know what do with love like that So I almost threw it back I fell in too deep and almost fell apart Losing sight of what I'd learned But I reclaimed my boundaries Not to be lost in order to be found Now I'm keeping my fingers crossed Working hard as I can to go at my own pace And do things in my own way (So now I) Grow alone (x4)
