Madelyn

You grab for the deeds, laid out on the bar, say a roof brings serenity, blow all my pay, then fly afar, you're a terrible waste, heading to the sea, like something in a bottle, I can't set you free, in a different age, you’d have a fancy car, now you're intestate, you don’t fill my needs, but a warm hazy fog, rolls your childhood dreams, dancing on the waves, I'm the stuff you're not, separating all the wreckage, love's no good for me, it leaves too many scars, holy water is my drink, what's going on?

Lainey

some mornings ask myself why, can we ever live alone, stars pale before my eyes, might as well be Mars, for all anyone knows, we've sailed out that far, explode within my sight, the wind is black and cold, is this another time, are kids and dogs you want, never to atone, always remain calm, when you hear me cry, running from the phone, just don’t sit and sigh, say there will be scars, like coffee on the chrome, a battle's not a war, no matter how we fight, strain every wretched bone, hold me close tonight, are you coming home ?

Living here's no paradise, never makes the news, why try being nice, might as well be space, useless stars, sea and moon, ladle food to our plate, we need a better life, no matter what we do, many fall away from spite, our song still resonates, a feeling beyond the Blues, when looking over the gate, this town is our life, always something here for you, even naked sodium lights, what we want to create, is sing within our blood, in order to relate, home is on easy nights, when we search for truth, forgive everyone before we die, searching for our youth.

Wouldn't it be great, to forget how much we owe, share out what remains, resist the need to wrong, water skins our bones, keeps within our song, I watch for the rain, tumble down a stony slope, hope it finds the drains, we'll just bumble along, walk with what we know, love makes us strong, fling the time away, greet the evening fallow, trains are always late, I’ll never let you down, or worry about the loans, you've no need to frown, my red lips shine ornate, blush with falling snow, a whisky drink to chase, we'll never be alone.

Ivy

Standing by an unlit lamp, a tree, a bridge, shaking, await my fellow tramps, listen to some muted song, who would ever negate, a need to belong, better take a chance, we can plays this game, maybe visit south of France, hope we're not wrong, looking at the rain, stream against a wooden bar, ask how much this path, will shuffle our remains, without many wounds to lance, someone will come along, maybe even praying, put something in our pocket, cigarettes and laughs, beer sipped like champagne, try to make life dance, praise each coming day.

Hope

If I’m set to freeze, soul strung without fire, you'd better set me free, in your eyes amour, you know what's right, calculate uneven scores, rock me gently, say everything ‘s fine, say don't worry baby, your heart is my cause, bound and entwined, like jelly on the floor, perfect and serene my queen, you exert quietly, do what others have dreamed, a perfect lightness, have I just seemed, to float on water, a star across the sea, I swear to the night, let me reach the quays, this is my time?

You won't let me fail, if anyone asks to dance, in rooms of evening pale, you always play the fool, wait for kindness to pass, no path too smooth, nothing more to say, except a glance, at what you do today, I rage against the news, empty as a lonely repast, my eyes set on you, life is finely weighted, your face tanned, I'll inform you later, what you must do, pull over make a stance, tell me you're no fool, whirl me 'round again, test me for balance, say what you need to say, if you want a chance
