Leelah 03:42
Leelah sat and watched the TV Flipping channels through the night But she always found the same thing One less chance to see the light Leelah sat in the last pew Ignoring all the empty words Everyone told her she was a flaw She just wanted away from it all Leelah why'd you go so soon? We had so much more to do We will finish all the work undone, yeah We will find the truth We will find the truth Leelah found someone at school And she thought he was real cool All that was taken back as it came, because Leelah lived under a blanket of shame Leelah why'd you go so soon? We had so much more to do We will finish all the work undone, yeah We will find the truth We will find the truth Your parents found a way To shun you out every day But you said you've had enough Leelah why'd you go so soon? We had so much more to do We will finish all the work undone, yeah We will find the truth We will find the truth

Motivation 04:02
So here's another day And nothing's ever changed Can't seem to justify My continuity Try reaching out to me Better just let me be I'll sort these problems out Just like I always do I will accept my fate Break this depression and take back my life I will resolve my fear And face the world outside I often wonder why I'm so indifferent Seeing these happy people Seems they're all mystified I know it's not my fault It's only in my mind Time always heals these wounds This cloud will pass me by I will accept my fate Break this depression and take back my life I will resolve my fear And face the world outside And all of this responsibility's such a fucking sham I've worked so hard to get where I am today And I've never been so motivated To work even harder to get where I'm not All I truly know is nothing you can do will ever stop me I will accept my fate Break this depression and take back my life I will resolve my fear And face the world outside I'll face the world outside

C Word 03:47
Last night was outrageous The time of my life, yeah I figured it out And every day it's the same old shit And I'm done putting up with it Insult my intelligence Treat me like garbage You think you're invincible You say you're depressed And completely obsessed But you've got to get over it Every day when I come home, and you've got that look in your eye I'm hanging on to every word, until you're pacified Now I don't love you for your body, and I sure don't love you for your brain And now I'm wondering how much longer, to play your stupid game 14 hours a day And still you say It's not enough time with you I make a suggestion And sense your hesitation I'm not your "Ken" doll I come home to rest And find you so stressed, yelling WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN!? It's none of your business I've done nothing wrong I'm getting so sick of this Every day when I come home, and you've got that look in your eye I'm hanging on to every word, until you're pacified Now I don't love you for your body, and I sure don't love you for your brain And now I"m wondering how much longer, to play your stupid game You're just so mean Why don't you show me respect I'm not as helpless as you think BITCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Every day when I come home, and you've got that look in your eye I'm hanging on to every word, until you're pacified Now I don't love you for your body, and I sure don't love you for your brains And now I'm wondering how much longer, to play your stupid game

Fairyland 02:50
Would you do what I do If I told you that I'd do it to you? I said, I'll stay in line But now that's passed, I'll wait 'til next time I've got big dreams Just for me and you So follow me I'll show you all that we can do I've gone to that great place where Nothing can hurt me no one will bother me I just want to have fun there And escape from that harsh reality That's just not fair It's much better here Follow me to that place where I've been spending all my time Never wanna go back, don't wanna fall into that same old rut that I've been stuck in I've been stuck in I've been stuck in so I'm moving on today In the land where the skies are blue You hold my hand as I stand right next to you Things are great where we are free You look into my eyes and I see Everything that made me fall for you I just wanna spend it all with you In the land where the skies are grey You look into my eyes and I say This is over we can't keep going I'm not angry I'm just throwing In the towel today Then she heard me say I'm going back to that place where I've been spending all my time Never wanna go back, don't wanna fall into that same old rut that I've been stuck in I've been stuck in I've been stuck in so I'm moving on today I'm going back to that place where I've been spending all my time Never wanna go back, don't wanna fall into that same old rut that I've been stuck in I've been stuck in I've been stuck in so I'm moving on today
