Let Me In 03:34
I don't know why I can't let you in And time stalked us Patience growing thin You are the chemical I want under my skin And I stuck you in my heart, waited No reaction You are the poison The reason i'm who I am I can't absorb you This mirror won't let me in I filled my mouth with whatever you put in my cup And I started to drown but this daydream pulled me out And I froze my finger in the shape of a trigger But I can't muscle out 6 pounds of pressure You are the poison The reason i'm who I am I can't absorb you This mirror won't let me in I can't wait for you, I can't wait for you, I can't wait for you, I can't wait for you. written By Cristina Orbé

Instead 02:48
What do you want from me? Some kind of confession There's nothing to be sorry about Its normal to feel some doubts What do want from us? A wedding procession We're figuring out who we are We're hearts made up of scars Empty your head Fill it with What's happening instead Of drowning us both In what you had hoped This would be What do want from this? Complete fulfillment I'm a heart and a pair of hands With a weakness for you What do you want me to say Write it down for me My tongue keeps falling over itself Trying to please Empty your head Fill it with What's happening instead Of drowning us both In what you had hoped This would be la la la la la la, la la la, la la la la la la la la, la la la, la la Empty your head Fill it with What's happening instead Of drowning us both In what you had hoped This would be written by Cristina Orbé

Circus Star 03:01
If its a rainbow doesn't mean that you're gonna save the world If it is small round an purple don't just eat it and dissolve your will I find myself angry for no reason I live for you, you live for yourself Oh Oh Ohhh Oh If its alone, doesn't mean it's searching for something else If it is moving fast, doesn't mean it's in a rush or running away I find myself happy for no reason I live for love, you live for the end Oh Oh Ohhh Oh Why do we continue as we are Me your ballyhoo, you the circus star If only cause we're waiting for something else We'll i'm done waiting, i'm done waiting If she says nothing, doesn't mean she has nothing to say If she just nods her head, doesn't mean everything is ok I find myself questioning everything I live for nothing and you do the same Oh Oh Ohhh Oh Why do we continue as we are Me your ballyhoo, you the circus star If only cause we're waiting for something else We'll i'm done waiting, i'm done waiting Why do we continue as we are Me your ballyhoo, you the circus star If only cause we're waiting for something else We'll i'm done waiting, i'm done waiting…for your love written by Cristina Orbé

Escape 03:34
I saw you start to feed Your mouth went long then deep Your eyes held this stare You went far away Don't ever get in the way of a hunter and the prey He's a killer till he's had his taste And I saw its heart slow down As it laid their on the ground Moving closer and closer to paradise And it gave up on the fight Stared down the valley of light And chose the other route as the escape, as the escape, as the escape, as the escape, as the escape, as the escape, as the escape, as the escape, as the escape, as the escape, as the escape And you don't know when you're gonna have to leave But you better be ready, you better be ready its what you gave and what you did and how you lived as an escape, as an escape, as an escape, as an escape, as an escape, as an escape, as an escape, as an escape, as an escape, as an escape, as an escape I saw its heart slow down As it laid their on the ground Moving closer and closer to paradise And it gave up on the fight, Stared down the valley of light And chose the other route as the escape, as the escape, as the escape, as the escape, as the escape, as the escape, as the escape, as the escape, as the escape, as the escape, as the escape And you know that its never going to end written by Cristina Orbé

Lady Bug 03:27
A quiet child, it's like i'm the only one Troubled and wild, with a razor for a tongue What can you'd do when everything just sticks like super glue Can't move to run Focus quick to survive watch your steps, watch the time You know how to make things bleed Invisible, I became like everyone Perfectly still, till its safe to move around Swallowed the past, so I'd never have to see it again Stand near the back Now don't test fate Patiently wait Till your close enough to leave To escape to escape to escape And then you'll lay in a cocoon Sleep under the moon The wind will whisper a tune Tea with macaroons You're siting by the pool You see a red balloon A lady bug in june Sipping honey from a spoon I ran outside while they'd sleep I'm not going back Now I'm free You press reset then you'll start to see Life can just flip Suddenly So don't look back live in the past, eyes to the sky live your life and then you'll start to, breathe. And then you'll lay in a cocoon Sleep under the moon The wind will whisper a tune Tea with macaroons You're siting by the pool You see a red balloon A lady bug in june Sipping honey from a spoon Cocoon, the moon, a tune, red balloons Cocoon, the moon, a tune, red balloons Cocoon, the moon, June, a spoon Cocoon, the moon, June, a spoon written by Cristina Orbé

Wait 03:05
You like it fake You like it virtual With all the flashing colors The truth gets to be so beautiful You like to take Everything for yourself If you could fill every shelf You'd be so much closer to feeling safe But don't stop now We gotta wait As it all falls down around us Let's act as if it ain't You make the world so dangerous with a stupid equation Fighting for these finite places at the top has made you all insane I see the drain I see it being crystalized You live on pain It adds shine to your hollow lives But don't stop now We gotta wait As it all falls down around us Let's act as if it ain't Now you live inside this tiny box, you call your life And you wonder why you need so much space To feel ok inside Its hard to look around and not despise the suffering It brings up all this guilt when all you want are the shiny things And don't stop now We gotta wait As it all falls down around us Let's act as if it ain't And don't stop now We gotta wait As it all falls down around us Let's act as if it ain't Don't stop now (repeat) written by Cristina Orbé

Parasol 03:45
Sunday afternoon preparing for my cannonball From the highest diving stall when you caught my eye Your tail swinging side to side like a fancy parasol The most ancient mating call was like morphine straight in my eye It came on strong like dime store man cologne I needed a fix, till it made me sick Well they said don't, but i just did Sticks and stones, have to live with it Every stab it felt just like a kiss I puckered mine, you made a fist, Then towed the line, and I felt a lift I never thought i'd end up just like this The sky began to bloom with a swarm of fireflies I sniffed the fumes of paradise and then I lost my mind A midnight stroll with you left me weak in the knees I could barely breathe when your hand brushed by mine It came on strong like dime store man cologne I needed a fix, till it made me sick Well they said don't, but i just did Sticks and stones, have to live with it Every stab it felt just like a kiss I puckered mine, you made a fist, Then towed the line, and I felt a lift I never thought i'd end up just like this And these wild times I thought they would carry me I got strung out on all that ecstasy I know that you barely noticed me I was a peasant in the presence of your majesty Now love feels ten feet tall and 3000 miles away Got straddled by a fantasy till it kicked me in the mouth Now I drink every bottle on the shelf How quickly you can find yourself with your face stuck to the ground It came on strong like dime store man cologne I needed a fix, till it made me sick Well they said don't, but i just did Sticks and stones, have to live with it Every stab it felt just like a kiss I puckered mine, you made a fist, Then towed the line, and I felt a lift I never thought i'd end up just like this written by Cristina Orbé

Orangutan 02:49
Is this life or is it a dream? Whatever it is i'm not allowed to sleep Distracted by the whir of that ticking machine Body bruised from the twisting of sheets Is this how I planned to live from the start? Locked up in a cage where I would just play out my part Oooo Oooo He said take my hand lets go for a walk To a strange fairy land where animals talk We hung out by the sand and drank soda-pop Listen to orangutans discuss post modern thought Is this how I planned to live from the start? Locked up in a cage where I would just play out my part Oooo Oooo I don't feel the growing pains anymore Body slack with my back just holding up this wall Is this how I planned to live from the start? Locked up in a cage where I would just play out my part Is this how I planned to live from the start? Locked up in a cage where I would just play out my part written by Cristina Orbé

Winner 03:13
Hard times wore me down Added ten years to my face It's hard to swallow now And get back in the race They thought i'd be a winner And make them proud Escape this town But life is one long winter And i'm a cloud with a jesters crown Sitting in an empty room The cops will be here soon And I could try and run away But there's no real escape They thought i'd be a winner Make them proud Escape this town But life is one long winter And i'm a cloud with a jesters crown They they they they they they Want me to talk it out want me to walk it out Get off stage They they they they they they Want me to talk it out want me to walk it out Get house trained They they they they they they Want me to talk it out want me to walk it out Be a slave They they they they they they Want me to walk it out want me to talk it out There's nothing to talk about (repeat) written by Cristina Orbé
