I am sarcasm bordering on boredom And I think you've said all you have to say 'Cause if it isn't your opinion It just gets in your way Right in front of you, all of me For you to see What do you have to say When the veil is taken away My bedsheets are so tight Don't dare to dream Don't dream of begging You know my silence is diamond But I've run out of things not to say The monster is lurking nearby somewhere And you know I can swallow your glares My wind, my words blow right through you 'Cause all you can taste is air When I speak Speak Oh, speak What parts of you are listening? Speak, just speak Can't coil it inside anymore No, no, no No, no, no She left long ago With her Pretty Pretty Princess clique in tow And there is blood on the snow From my lips From my innocence And the fear, the fear He's here 'Cause he's got his hands and zippers I've just got the truth and my whimpers And I fought For my mother For my sister While the trees watched me die When I speak Speak Oh, speak What parts of you are listening? Speak, just speak Can't coil it inside anymore When I scream Do you hear my undertones? No, I said I said I said no No, no, no I know I can stomach your glares Because all you taste is my air All lyrics and music © Just Plain Sarah 2004

Lion King (free) 02:58
Suddenly the lion king was gone from the valley And when the plebeians bowed their heads I held mine up high I guess I'm easy to abandon I guess I'm easy to leave I guess that I should be the first done grieving I was twelve years old, playing monkey-in-the-middle to your chicken shit And I hated being a part of it When I say these scars are homegrown, I hope you know I call you home And if every person needs a hell I think I've found mine And it's served me well He said I'm always looking at what I have not It's not true; I appreciate every second I got I got I got All lyrics and music © Just Plain Sarah 2004

Smell of Summer (free) 05:23
Are your eyes closed? I envy you Can you turn off your empathy like a light switch? You fling your words like they're just air Stone-heavy, they weigh me down Why am I always left here Sinking and picking up the pieces I keep waiting to wake up I keep waiting to fall asleep But do you think the smell of summer can soak through The nightmare we've been living since you And in case you forget An addiction is a promise And you've made a lot of promises to me But anyways The clouds can't disappear Without you here When'd I become an option and not what you needed Breathless and scared, I call you But the days just fall down around me My calendar claims it's spring But it hasn't convinced me The last of your faith sailed away With the last of my patience You leave me trembling sometimes Your, your aftermath But do you think the smell of summer can soak through The nightmare we've been living since you And in case you forget An addiction is a promise And you've made a lot of promises to me Promises to me But do you think the smell of summer can soak through The nightmare we've been living since you And in case you forget An addiction is a promise And you made a lot of promises to me All lyrics and music © Just Plain Sarah 2004

Ladies in Waiting (free) 05:04
There are sluts in my kitchen Eating our chips Momma's red-eyed and saying that I've got to Put up with them And they're doing doughnuts in the front yard in his cars And I don't want to be here And all of our ladies in waiting Are ready for us to cry, and You know, it's not what I'd hoped for But then again it rarely is And all of the ex's are calling Wondering if they broke me too soon And I say, "Hey, it's okay. Now I can honestly say that I've been through worse." They sit around me in a semicircle But don't worry my friends You won't have to heal me today 'Cause I've pushed it all away And all of our ladies in waiting Are ready for us to cry, and You know, it's not what I'd hoped for But then again, none of this is They say that God's with me But She doesn't know me So you can keep your blessings My birthday cake is still on the table My candles aren't cold yet Yet, and you are Yet you are No more tears, my dear No more tears, my dear No more tears my dear, my dear Be strong for your brother and your sister Take care of your mother You have to be the strong one now Don't cry 'Cause they can't see you cry now And all of our ladies in waiting Say it's time for them to go And I tell them, "Hey, it's okay." I'd rather be alone to talk to your ghost All lyrics and music © Just Plain Sarah 2004

Melancholy Melody (free) 05:39
We're fighting again Will it pass or is it the end? I won't apologize for doing what I want When I've given all I've got I'm sorry I can't make this sacrifice When I want to do what feels right It's too late so I won't even try To cover the feelings I often hide And I'm sorry you won't accept me But I won't change who I am And when the consequences start to feel heavy At least I'll know who I am At least I'll know who I am If you let this rip us apart Then we were never very strong from the start Why can't you understand I'm not the same as you? And I don't have to do what I don't want to I know you think your opinion is more important than mine But why do you always think that you can change my mind? And I'm sorry you won't accept me But I won't change who I am And when the consequences start to feel heavy At least I'll know who I am At least I'll know who I am It's all changing now and you can't stop it It's falling apart and you can't ignore it You can't stay sheltered from my feelings forever You can't stare into the rain and pretend that there's good weather I've given up maybe you should do the same Look at our past, and then tell me who's really to blame And I'm sorry you won't accept me But I won't change who I am And when the consequences start to feel heavy At least I'll know who I am At least I'll know who I am Ignore me if you want Don't see me if you like Do it if keeps you satisfied But always know, wherever you go--I stood strong And I'm so sorry that you won't accept me But I won't change who I am And when the consequences start to feel heavy At least I'll know who I am And I'm so sorry that you won't accept me But I won't change who I am At least I'll know who I am At least I'll know who I am All lyrics and music © Just Plain Sarah 2004

Blind to Me (free) 03:10
He's got me in a vice, you know You don't have to search too hard to see Everytime I breathe, he's squeezing And I don't need to flaunt my flaws To get the attention that I crave And I don't need someone else's pity To make me feel like I'm brave Cause I know that it's all about power And these secrets keep me in control Cause everyday I decide how much I'm going to let them poison my soul I'm jealous that you hide And people still listen I'm jealous you have everything and make up what's missing And I hate the fact that it's Your ass that they're kissing Yes, I know that I'm selfish And petty, and sad But I'm so envious of what you don't know you have So fuck you and your doctor's note Cause I don't need a degree to know when I'm sad And I've earned my right to be where I am And I have much more gone than you I'm much more gone than you are Steal my thunder Steal my rage Steal everything I've worked to contain Oh, envy Oh, this envy I won't let you know How much it hurts to be Aware that even you are blind to me All lyrics and music © Just Plain Sarah 2004

Open Fire (free) 05:01
Re-enter the scene Who is helping me? His body lying cold The terror I never told Premonitions in a record store A song in my head I've never hummed before Connections coming together slowly The princess meets the great big pea Open fire--I know when your light's gone out Everyone has heard, the word is out And if you could swallow us whole And every cloud I step on is the wrong one I still owe him an "I love you," Will it get through? The only one who could guide her back to shore Not sure who I feared for more We don't die like stars We are never warned We don't notice 'til the sky is less adorned Open fire--I know when your light's gone out Everyone has heard, the word is out And if you could swallow us whole And the question I always to seem to ask Is did I miss my chance? To do all that I could Would he have done what he should Open fire--I know when your light's gone out Everyone has heard, the word is out And if you could swallow us whole Open fire--I know when your light's gone out Everyone has heard, the word is out And if you could swallow us whole (Firemen on one knee Talking the kittens down from the tree I'll get her a glass of water If it helps If it helps) All lyrics and music © Just Plain Sarah 2004

Treason (free) 03:36
Give me a sideways look Give me something to analyze I need a reason I need a distraction I want treason I go to sleep but my eyelids swirl I always knew I was a freak of a girl I sit here and ask myself how Wonder why I didn't foresee the girl I am now When they look at me, can they see That I want what I can't admit I need When they look at me, can they tell I'm still the girl they thought they knew so well I can't help it, you're puling me You are my earth, and you are my gravity And we're all headed straight to your eyes 'Cause the sun's got nothing on them They hold so much light Give me a sideways look Give me something to analyze I need a reason I need a distraction I want treason I need what you can't admit you want All lyrics and music © Just Plain Sarah 2004

Broken Dolls (free) 04:36
We're all broken dolls Pieces Are we too late for stitches Have we served our purpose Your playthings Fragments of our former selves Pieces And all of these girls playing catch With razor blades We fallen angels are all the same And I don't know how to make myself happy anymore I don't how to feel You better watch what you write down, girl You don't know who is reading You better watch what you say outloud, girl You don't know who is listening And all this time All I wanted was somebody to inspire me to care again And is it wrong to feel like I shouldn't feel like this And is it wrong to fear feeling anything at all You said you knew all along But I, I never told anyone You said you knew all along But I, I never told anyone Hey beautiful What's it like to know You're just the test zone for his atom bombs? I've got the mind of a victim And sometimes I feel so weak How am I supposed to live with me? I just don't know about anything anymore Pieces All lyrics and music © Just Plain Sarah 2004
