CON ARTIST
Verse 1:
There's a man that I got my eye on
Most say that he’s broke and no good
And they say he’s not one to rely on
I would forget him if I only I could
With a weapon filled with lead
Can’t get him out of my head
Yeah for sure my heart is done
And don’t you dare dally
When you walk down his alley
His next victim you might become
Verse 2:
There's a man that I got my eye on
Most say that he’s sketchy and sly
And they say he’s not one to rely on
But my love I can’t justify
If you want his talents fast
Better pay up front with cash
And hope that you were in line first
Yeah, Despite all conventions
You can see his intentions
And once done, it can’t be reversed
Chorus:
I’m just a Bonnie looking for a Clyde
And I think I’ve finally found one
A partner in crime to have by my side
A quick drawing son of a gun...
Out of all the things to try and find
They say love - love is the hardest
I’m just a Bonnie looking for a Clyde
And I’m falling … falling for a con artist
Verse 3:
There's a man that I got my eye on
Most say that his shade is so cold
And they say he’s not one to rely on
But his hand is what I want to hold
Won’t stop once he starts
And he’ll always leaves his mark
Better hope that you can read his name
And you better play nice
If you haggle his price
Or you’re the next one to be framed.
Chorus (2x - with epic key change)

FOUR LETTERS (ADHD)
Verse 1:
Well, ever since I was a girl
I knew I’d always lose
I couldn’t find my toys or a pair of matching shoes
Running round my room
At the speed of light
Talking so fast my stories would last
Hours into the night
Chorus:
Blame it on the Four
Letters at my core
My leg I’m shaking and my nails I’m chewing
Yeah I’m Always. Dreaming. Hardly. Doing.
Verse 2:
Forgot to wind the clock
It’s why I’m always late
But in my mind, I’m right on time
No matter how long you wait
Giving me a choice
I’m always on the fence
My thoughts are so scrambled sometimes my words
Don’t make any… Squirrel!
Chorus:
Blame it on the Four
Letters at my core
Everything I say can be misconstruing
Yeah I’m Always. Dreaming. Hardly. Doing.
Bridge:
Well I gotta clean my place
But I don’t know how to pace
I’ll start with the DVDs
Three hours pass
Still sitting on my ass
Sorting by genre, by color, and alphabetically!
Verse 3:
I’m working on 6 projects
Cause I can’t focus on one
With everything all at once nothing ever gets done!
Some say it’s a problem
Something wrong with my brain
Though rules of society raise my anxiety I wouldn’t change a thing!
Chorus:
Blame it on the Four
Letters at my core
Yeah, popping a pill could be subduing to my
(Always Always)
Blame it on the Four
Letters at my core
My momma says that I never stop moving
Cause I'm always always
(Hardly Doing! Don't be fuming! I'm amusing!)
When it comes to the path that I’m pursing it helps to be
Always Dreaming... Hardly A.D.H. ....
where did that squirrel go?

LA LOVE SONG
I WOULD TAKE THE 405 TO THE 101 TO THE 10 FOR YOU
BRAVE THE 215 TO THE 58 TO BLYTHE
I ‘D GO FROM WOODLAND HILLS TO HOLLYWOOD
ON THE FRIDAY BEFORE CHRISTMAS
DRIVE TO VENICE BEACH ON THE 4TH OF JULY
I WOULD CRUISE TO LAX AT 6 PM JUST TO BE WITH YOU
SLIDE FROM ARROWHEAD TO TEHACHAPI IN SNOW
FROM INGLEWOOD TO OXNARD AND ALL THE WAY TO AZUSA
JUST BECAUSE I LOVE YOU SO
FROM THE EMERALD FIELDS OF FOREST LAWN
WITH GRIFFITH PARK ABOVE
TO THE SHINING TAR OF LA BREA’S PITS
THIS CITY REEKS WITH LOVE
I WOULD GO TO DISNEYLAND IN AUGUST IF YOU ASKED ME TO
CAUSE ANAHEIM IS SUCH A LOVELY DRIVE
I WOULD CRUISE CROSS TOWN FROM SUNSET TO MARINA DEL REY
EVERY AFTERNOON BETWEEN 3 and 5
WE COULD WATCH THE SUN GO DOWN
THROUGH THE LA HAZE
THERE’S NO WAY I COULD LOSE YOU NOW
CAUSE BABY, I GOT WAZE
THINK OF NEW YEARS EVE AT PICO AND SEPULVEDA
AS WE DRINK CHAMPAGNE AND MARVEL AT THE VIEW
OH, IT’S ROMANCE THAT I’M CHASIN’ ACROSS THE LA BASIN
ANY CHANCE TO BE ALONE WITH YOU
NO MATTER HOW FAR…WHEREVER YOU ARE…
THAT’S WHERE I’LL BE HEADIN”
NO TRAFFIC JAM CAN STOP ME, BABY
NOT EVEN CARMAGEDDON
FROM THE 710 TO THE 605, FROM THE 15 TO THE 2
THERE’S NOWHERE THAT I WOULDN’T DRIVE
JUST…TO BE… WITH YOU.
JUST …TO BE…WITH YOU…
HARD DRIVIN LOVE……HARD DRIVIN LOVE

The curtains rise
The spotlight shines
She takes the stage
All eyes are on her
The magic she weaves
Nonbelievers believe
This is a girl you'll remember...
With the swelling of music
The show must begin
Silks wrapped around her like a second skin
She'll twist and she'll soar
See her smile as she flies
Showing the world you can reach for the skies!
The curtains rise
The spotlight shines
She takes the stage
Light as a feather
With her laugh and coy grin
Captivation begins
This is a girl you'll remember...
Like a seer her eyes cast you in a spell
But a spell that you don't want broken
Takes her final bow
And waves her farewell
The wonder she leaves is unspoken!
Now the curtains have closed
The spotlight's exposed
The stage is all bare
No spark; No ember
And now that she's gone...
She'd want the show to go on
Just close your eyes...
... and remember.

ENOUGH
Verse 1:
Little girl, blue eyes bright with tears
Keep your head high but you're faking it
Holding your book close to your chest
Like a shield keep your heart from breaking
The pretty girls have laughs like bells
And ribbons in their hair
You want to belong but you march to a drum
That only you can hear
The voice inside your head
Can't unhear what it said
You're just not good enough...
You're not enough.
Chorus:
If I could go back to yesterday
I would tell you not to cry
You're heart is heavy now but it gets lighter
The monsters inside your head
And the darkness you feel
You're so much stronger
You're so much brighter
Little girl you are, you are enough.
Verse 2:
Years go by, you still hold your head high
Trying to prove that you're doing ok
You're alright
Wait in line with hundreds of girls
To be told you're the wrong size
The wrong type
You want to shine but your glow dims
With every heart shatter
You learn to sing so you can be heard
But the notes you miss only matter
The voice inside your head
Can't unhear what it said
You're just not good enough...
You're not enough
Chorus:
If I could go back to yesterday
I would tell you not to cry
You're heart is heavy now but it gets lighter
The monsters inside your head
And the darkness you feel
You're so much stronger
You're so much brighter...
Bridge:
It's time to show the world what they are missing
It's time to take that leap fly on your own
And every bit of heartache that you've carried
Has made you a warrior fully grown
Yes I am different.
But it's given me so much more
I'm so much stronger
I'm so much brighter
Chorus:
Time to stand up today and say
No I will not cry
My heart was heavy then
But now it's lighter
The monsters inside my head
And the darkness I feel
Little girl you are, you are, you're enough
Little girl you are, you are, you are
Little girl you are enough.
