Diva Stare
They've always got someone to blame
Covering all the lies & to claim
All the benefit and all the fame
So everyone will know their name
Refrain:
Beware, beware
They're on the loose
Be aware, aware
They're ready for emotional abuse
Chorus:
They are the nightmares
Those who like to scare
Though they seem to care
Their advice they might share
But behind your back they will tear
& Get you caught in their snare
Once you're targeted by the diva stare
Before they were not the same
Now locked up in a photo frame
They have been made untamed
They'll bring anyone down to shame
Bridge:
Don't let them get you down
On their head they wear a crown
But very soon they will drown
When another comes to town

Cold Feet
What am I to do with you
What am I to say to you
When I look at you
You're there
But do I really feel you?
When I'm seeing you
You're here
But are you in my heart?
Refrain:
Questioning myself in my head
Cause' my feelings have somehow fade
I think I've once again fled
I've done the thing I've always dread
Running before we wed
Raining on your parade
Chorus:
I'm getting cold feet
Wanna fleet
What have I gotten myself into
I'm getting second thoughts
What are our odds
In being together and staying true
(In being together for eternity)
When I hold you
You're warm
But are we intimate?
When I kiss you
You're gentle
But am I really loved?
Bridge:
What am I doing?
Where am I going?
Fear has got to me
So what's it gonna be?

What Lies Underneath
There are times when we are sad
There are times when we are down
But we hide it with a laugh
Or a smile on our face
There are times when we are scared
There are times when we are weak
But we try to be strong
& we try to move on
Refrain:
Behind this mask of mix feelings and emotions
I try to hide & run away
But I'm exposed and naked
When I'm with You
Chorus:
Cause' You, You see right through me
You bare and unmask all my feelings
You, You know who I really am
You know the real me
& You truly see what lies underneath
There are times when we're insecure
There are times when we're unstable
But we try to act tough
& we try to stand firm
There are times when we can't hold on
Times we feel like falling
But we act like nothing's wrong
& everything's fine
Bridge:
In all the hurt that I've been through
The sadness I've been sitting through
You see me
In all the trials that I've been through
But when I come to You
You understand me

Can You Help Me?
I'm now here in the corner
Agitated in anger
Feeling like pulling the trigger
Exploding out what I'm feeling
About the comments thrown at me
That is both mean and insulting
I find myself dwelling in it
It's not easy to forgive and forget
Now I'm here just wishing
I can stop thinking about it
Chorus:
Can You help me?
I need Your peace
Can You help me?
Please let the thoughts cease
Can You help me?
Get my hate to decrease
& Your love to increase
Can You help me?
I just want to get through this
I need a release
Lord, can you help me?
I'm just wasting my time
Thinking about the same damn thing
It's sucking me in
Taking my strength down
Pasting on my face a frown
Ripping my esteem right through
Even though I know it's not true
But the words, the double edged sword
Pierces in me and replays in my mind
Over and over again
Bridge:
Covered with all these thoughts
Taking over me
I can't seem to control it
Devouring me
Not the first time
& it certainly won't be the last

Labeled
Am I punk
Or am I rock
Am I country
Or am I pop
Am I fat
Or am I thin
Am I ugly
Or am I beautiful
Pre-Chorus:
Different labels fall on me
People with tags is what I see
Some wear masks to cover up
What is really deep inside
Chorus:
Don't wanna be labeled
Just wanna be me
Don't wanna be defined
Just wanna be seen
For who I am
Don't wanna be stamped on
Just wanna be free
Don't wanna be classified/limited
Just wanna be known
For who I am
Am I a jock
Or am I a geek
Am I a prom queen
Or am I yesterday's scene
Am I a slut
Or am I goth
Am I a diva
Or am I the girl next door
Bridge:
Swirling in a pool of perception
Filled with lies and deception
Trapped in a box of mindsets
Held captive in various kinds of nets

Escaping The Smaze
In a place surrounded with mist
Searching for the exit where it'll cease
Glass mirrors all around me
Staring into those mirrors I see
A girl figuring out
Which is me and a way out
Refrain:
Different kinds of personalities
Swirling right at me
Different forms of conformities
Whirling out on me
Different types of identities
It's a crisis I see
Chorus:
I'm searching for the door
In this sea of mist
I'm bursting through to shore
Dodging the cloud's fist
I'm seeking for the door
Outside is where I wanna be
If only I can see the core
Of who's inside of me
I'm escaping the smaze
I'm drowning in the smoke
And I'm about to choke
I need to get out swiftly
So I can see clearly
Who's in front of me
This person I see
Bridge:
Images of me all around
A flush of confusion surround
"Who are you?!" I let out a shout
Questioning myself throughout
