MOOD POISONING (featuring Laurieanne Creus) [CHORUS 1] Have you ever had mood poisoning And called yourself out of work? The way that you’ve been treated It made your stomach hurt Your benefits are a joke forget the doctors note you’ve lost a days pay But still have your self worth [VERSE 1- MICHELLE] Trouble getting out of bed because I feel burnt out My body’s filling up with dread It makes me want to shout I drag myself here And pretend like it matters It’s my job, It’s your career I’m a sick day to disaster Management so irritating I don’t want to speak ill Now I need some medicating There’s no sweetening this pill I’ve been running a temp My boss been running her mouth Diagnosis of contempt My patience has worn out [CHORUS 2] I’ve got mood poisoning I’m not coming into work The way that I’ve been treated It made my stomach hurt My benefits are a joke forget the doctors note I’ve lost a day’s pay But still have my self worth I’ve got mood poisoning I’m not coming into work I’ve got a fever I’ve got fever I’ve got mood poisoning I’m not coming into work I’ve got to run I’ve got a fever of 100 and done Laurieanne: You ask me where I’m from You should ask me if I’m done Having same old, stupid, boring, ignorant conversations Trying figure out my face Cause we don’t look the same Ask me the right questions You’d see we can relate Ask me about bagels About malls and growing up About Backstreet Boys, Avril Lavigne and Z100 We screamed the same songs And we’re from the same town If my looks weren’t an issue You’d see it by now Yeah, I’m starting to burn up You’re starting to freak out You’re telling me to chill Cause this brick house is burning now You say stop drop roll I say Stop drop NO I’m standing up to take you down And I’m about to blow Now I’ve got [CHORUS 3] I’ve got mood poisoning This talk ain’t going to work The way that I’ve been treated It made my stomach hurt Your ignorance is a joke I’ve got vomit in my throat I gotta run I’ve got a fever of 100 and done I’ve got mood poisoning I’m not coming into work I’ve got a fever I’ve got a fever I’ve got mood poisoning I’m not coming into work I’ve gotta run I’ve got a fever of 100 and done

[VERSE 1- Michelle] When I was a child I was the brightest in my class But my mind it moved too fast But now I can’t keep up I’m an adult without a path I’ve looked the wrong way and I’ve crashed Now we’re mixing business and pleasure I’ve been feeling the pressure to pull it together If I was never in control I could just let it all unroll [CHORUS 1] We can take it step by step Baby you and me in slow motion Whatever happens next On to you I’ll keep holding [VERSE 2- Guest Vocals: Chris Songco] Brain always busy at work, a situation to read A mystery to unearth, a social media feed My hands are down in the dirt, they're laying out all the seeds Imagining all the trees haven't happened yet Head wandering, pondering different options, I Could be watering the thoughts that say I'm awesome, why Do I water the thoughts that say I'm awful, I Prolly water too much, what about happiness? Whoa, hey. Life is so chaotic but at least we're not robotic and I got you with me Okay, can't predict the future but we'll pivot and maneuver when the times ain't pretty Whoa, hey. Mind is always moving a mile but Ima slow it down for you and your smile like Okay. Waves are gonna come when they do, so let's step and just groove for a while. If I was never in control I could just let it all unroll [CHORUS- Both Vocals] We can take it step by step Baby you and me In slow motion Whatever happens next On to you I’ll keep holding [Bridge] [Outro- Michelle] If I was never in control I could just let it all unroll We could take it step by step

☄️Sozin’s Comet ☄️ [INTRO] They set it on fire in the name of our nation Set it on fire in the name of our nation They set it on fire and then they held hostage to a true education [VERSE 1] A space that was meant to be consecrated Then the ships sailed in, now it’s been indoctrinated All can unlearn the “supremacy” The lies they taught were their heresy Disrespect for the living and spirit Those who say nothing are just as complicit [CHORUS 1] We believe justice delivers peace We’re not disabled by our grief With one thousand voices we’ve spoke To revive balance and hope We’ve passed down everything we’ve known Thousands of lifetimes of our growth We know justice delivers peace It’s time to choose who you can be [VERSE 2] Over time honor’s meaning will change Nothing about you will be the same History will recall you by name Redirect the lightning, your rage Kill your pride be to free from shame Honor the person you became [CHORUS 2] We believe justice delivers peace We’re not disabled by our grief With one thousand voices we’ve spoke To revive balance and hope We’ve passed down everything we’ve known Thousands of lifetimes of our growth We know justice delivers peace It’s time to choose who you can be [BRIDGE] [CHORUS 3- Gang Vocals] We believe justice delivers peace We’re not disabled by our grief With one thousand voices we’ve spoke To revive balance and hope We’ve passed down everything we’ve known Thousands of lifetimes of our growth We know justice delivers peace It’s time to choose who you can be

What if I were the biggest person Say like 50 feet tall? Their words became my curse then And like always I take all the fault I’ll become the monster You always make me to be When I rise up from the water I’ll make you wish you never spoke down to me Why’s it called a meltdown When I feel like I’m about to explode I’ve been your letdown I've put my foot down I’m done being controlled Chorus Revenge is starting to sound fun Give you the head start to run Pick it up, you should run a little quicker The biggest person is getting bigger I’m stomping all over these streets Just like the way that you walked all over me Grow up, you should go to therapy That’s where I learned you don’t deserve the best of me _ You been banging on your chest Because I didn't text It’s not worth trying When it always comes down to fighting I’m the bad guy, call me Billie Eilish Your daddy issues are really fucking childish Projecting, You should go to therapy Flexing, you’re always trying to mess with me This is a story is about my growth And if my anger lost all control This whole daydream might be juvenile I’ve been busy raising my inner child I can recognize all of this privilege From the sky with my giant woman vision Revenge is starting to sound fun Give you the head start to run Pick it up, you should run a little quicker The biggest person is getting bigger I’m stomping all over these streets Just like the way that you walked all over me Grow up, you should go to therapy That’s where I learned you don’t deserve the best of me Revenge is starting to sound fun Give you the head start to run Pick it up, you should run a little quicker The biggest person is getting bigger I’m stomping all over these streets Just like the way that you walked all over me Grow up, you should go to therapy That’s where I learned you don’t deserve the best of me

Take a deep breath in through your mouth And out through your nose Note where the tension in your body is Let it go Breathe in through your nose And out through your mouth Through the highs and lows Clear what doesn’t serve you out Time passes, beginnings to ends When the paradigm shifts begin again If you feel safe to say it with me now, say it with me now I will begin again I will begin again I will begin again

Saturn came back around It’s time to start over Surrender my hopes now My mind echoes sober Surrender to the sound It’s time to start over Surrender my hopes now My mind echoes sober [PRECHORUS] Where will I go? What will I say? I don’t know How it’ll all be okay [CHORUS 1] Don’t have the answers yet But I know I’m getting closer I have no regrets It’s time to start over VERSE2: Saturn came back around It’s time to start over I’m loved, supported now Unafraid of getting older When change comes back around My truth has gotten louder With the myths of what’s allowed, I won’t abuse my power [PRECHORUS 2] When I will go I’ll go my own way Again I have found I know it’ll all be okay [CHORUS 2] Don’t have the answers yet But I know I’m getting closer I have no regrets It’s time to start over At once both sober and high I found the answers I searched for I couldn’t recognize Until I cleared my mind [Bridge- Gang Vocals] Whoa

THE RULES [Chorus 1] I don’t know the rules I don’t want to play I don’t want to I don’t I don’t I don’t I don’t I don’t know the rules I don’t want to play I don’t want to I don’t I don’t I don’t I don’t [VERSE 1] I’m tired of the scoreboards Being kept on my moods And the resentment that I get When I don’t get what you expect me to do I don’t want to play I don’t know the rules When I try to explain You just call it an excuse I’m tired of being told to behave Every fucking day [Chorus 2 x2] I don’t know the rules I don’t want to play I don’t want to I don’t I don’t I don’t I don’t [VERSE 2] Now I’m knocking over all the hurdles in the race I have to jump While you’re standing place I don’t know the rules I don’t wanna play You’ve ruined the fun While I take all the blame This is my skin The look on my face The mask you love Painted in shame [Chorus x 2] Instrumental and Chorus 2x more I don’t know the rules I don’t want to play I don’t want to I don’t I don’t I don’t I don’t

Daydream 04:27
[VERSE 1] I wish there was a word For the last few minutes you spend in bed Or the meditativeness of chores Damn, it feels so good to be stuck in your head Lately I’ve been having a hard time with words Everything seems much more bitter Than the whimsy I used to know It’s not a lack of imagination It’s my imagination high on adrenaline and control [CHORUS 1] There’s some words for how I feel That you keep sticking by my side If I could make this real I’d give us both a better life [VERSE 2] We would never have to worry We could just keep making art We would never have to worry We’d be aligned with all our hearts If I could just say thank you as they’re the only words I know I’ll sing them now to you So you don’t have to feel alone [CHORUS 2] There’s some words for how I feel About you keep sticking by my side If I could make this real, I’d give us both a better life [Instrumentals] [CHORUS 3] There’s some words for how I feel That you keep sticking by my side For all the silly fears And greener grass on other side The words I’ll just forget I won’t forget just how this feels Don’t have to make it real If it’s been real the whole time

There are some words for how I feel about you sticking by my side
