"What I love is also what I hate
This music kills me
then forces me to stand up straight

So don’t confuse positivity for naïveté
The great ones walked through hell
to become that way"

Song * Somethin' I've Gotta Say
Album * Ithaca

"Your eyes they conjure up
those Cliffs of Moher
Far away not listening anymore
Dreaming of life on another shore
Not here, not now with me the bore
So I stopped talking, fade to bleak
Feeling insignificant, feeling weak
Even though it's not
who I know myself to be, the queen,
the confidence does not speak"

Song * 14
Album * Courage

"Baggage from my family
Going back to therapy
I will kneel, be humble,
tow the weight
I will look for strength within
I will be a better woman
Hang in their baby
I'm the grain of sand
becoming the pearl"

Song * Pearl
Album * Amen

"And it's me who's too weak,
And it's me who's too shy
to ask for the thing I love...
But I love

I am walking on the bridge
I am over the water
And I'm scared as hell
But I know there's something better
Yes I know, yes I know, yes I know..."

Song * Me
Album * This Fire

"I nearly died I suicided softly
I saw her shadow
through the cafe window
I watched you lean across the table
I watched you whisper in her ear
And she is your holy Mary
And I am so ordinary
And you can use me if you want to
I know you need me
just like an old soft shoe"

Song * I Am So Ordinary
Album * Harbinger
