lyrics – lotus

lotus intro

songbird, rebirth, unearth creature
submerge from hurt, pain, broken pieces
emergency, heartbeat increases
rise up lotus, rise, this is the beginning
this is the beginning
this is the beginning
this is the beginning

songbird, rebirth, unearth creature
submerge from hurt, pain, broken pieces
emergency, heartbeat increases
rise up lotus, rise, this is the beginning

and now the lotus rises
we are never dyin’
forever flyin’
and always survivin’

songbird, rebirth, unearth creature
submerge from hurt, pain, broken pieces
emergency, heartbeat increases
rise up lotus, rise, this is the beginning
this is the beginning
this is the beginning
this is the beginning

songbird, rebirth, unearth creature
submerge from hurt, pain, broken pieces
emergency, heartbeat increases
rise up lotus, rise, this is the beginning
this is the beginning
this is the beginning

to the sky, i rise
spread my wings, and fly
i leave the past behind
and say goodbye to the scared child inside
i sing for freedom, and for love
i look at my reflection
embrace the woman i’ve become
the unbreakable lotus in me
i now set free

army of me

i’ve been standing where you left me, left me
praying that you’d come and get me, get me
but now i’ve found my second wind, wind
now i’ve found my second skin, skin

well i know what you were thinking
you thought you’d watch me fade away, away
when you broke me into pieces
but i gave each piece a name, a name

one of me is wiser
one of me is stronger
one of me’s a fighter
and there’s a thousand faces of me
and we’re gonna rise up
yeah we’re gonna rise up
for every time you wronged me
well you’re gonna face an army, army of me

welcome to my revolution
all your walls are breaking down, down
it’s time you had a taste of losing, losing
time the tables turned around, round

i see a glimpse of recognition
but it’s too little it’s too late, it’s too late
and what you thought was your best decision
just became your worst mistake

one of me is wiser
one of me is stronger
one of me’s a fighter
and there’s a thousand faces of me
and we’re gonna rise up
yeah we’re gonna rise up
for every time you wronged me
well you’re gonna face an army, army of me

so how does it feel
to know that i beat you
that i can defeat you
oh, how does it feel
’cause it sure feels sweeter
it sure feels sweeter to me

now that i’m wiser
now that i’m stronger
now that i’m a fighter
there’s a thousand faces of me

and i’m gonna rise up
yeah i’m gonna rise up
for every time you wronged me
there’s a thousand faces of me
yeah i’m gonna rise up
yeah i’m gonna rise up
for every time you wronged me
now you’re gonna face an army
army of me

sing for me

sometimes when i’m sitting on my bed
feeling so, so lonely
wishing someone hold me
all i have is three little notes playing in my head
outside i can cover all the scars
inside lie the words just pleading to be heard
’cause all i have is three million melodies to kill the hurt

and now i’m ready
now i’m gonna sing ‘em all out
sing ‘em out just for myself
i don’t even care what the world thinks about how i sound

’cause when i open my mouth
my whole heart comes out
every tear i wanna cry is satisfied
i’m singing ’til i’m winning
imma sing all night
’cause when i open my mouth
there’s no place to hide
everything that i’ve been feeling runs wild and free
i’m singing ’cause i’m winning
imma sing for me

i stand and believe in who i am
take shots at my heart
but who am i to give up
everybody needs a melody to set their souls free
my stage is the greatest in the world
give back to the ones who struggle with me stay true
reminding me to see my only chosen destiny

and now i’m ready
now i’m gonna sing it all out
sing it out just for myself
i don’t even care what the world thinks about how i sound

’cause when i open my mouth
my whole heart comes out
every tear i wanna cry is satisfied
i’m singing ’til i’m winning
imma sing all night
’cause when i open my mouth

blank page

i know there’s hurt, i know there’s pain,
but people change, lord knows i’ve been no saint
in my own way, regret choices i’ve made
how do i say i’m sorry? how do i say i’m sorry?

i was scared, i was unprepared
oh, for the things you said
if i could undo that i hurt you
i would do anything for us to make it through
draw me a smile and save me tonight
i am a blank page waiting for you to bring me to life
paint me a heart, let me be your art
i am a blank page waiting for life to start

let our hearts stop and beat as one together
let out hearts stop and beat as one forever

how can i erase decisions i’ve made?
how do i go back, what more can i say?
all that remains are hearts filled with shame
how do we say we’re sorry? how do we say we’re sorry

i was scared, i was unprepared
oh, for the things you said
if i could undo that i hurt you
i would do anything for us to make it through
draw me a smile and save me tonight
i am a blank page waiting for you to bring me to life
paint me a heart, let me be your art
i am a blank page waiting for life to start

let our hearts stop and beat as one together
let out hearts stop and beat as one forever

i’d go back in time and i’ll realize
our spirits aligned and we’d never die

draw me a smile and save me tonight
i’ll be your blank page waiting for you to bring me to life
paint me a heart, let me be your art
i am a blank page waiting for life to start

let our hearts start and beat as one together
let our hearts start and beat as one forever

words cut through my skin
tears roll down my chin
my walls crumble within
but i’ll take it all on
and get up when i fall
’til the last curtain call

but you’ll never get the best of me no more

trying to kick me when i’m down?
but you’ll never get the best of me, no, you won’t

so i’m cold, made of ice
heart of stone born to fight
but i cry
i still cry
are you happy to know
i’m unhappy alone?
take your shot, i’m wide open

words cut through my skin
and tears roll down my chin
my walls crumble within
but i’ll take it all on
and get up when i fall
’til the last curtain call

but you’ll never get the best of me, no, you won’t
said you’ll never get the best of me no more
aren’t you tired of throwing stones
trying to kick me when i’m down?
but you’ll never get the best of me, no, you won’t

’cause you’ll never get the best of me, no, you won’t
said you’ll never get the best of me no more

empty words

the funny thing about hurting people
is they tend to hurt people
the funny thing about lies is
they’re only lies
the funny thing about hearts is
they tend to break easy
the funny thing about healing is

it used to make me cry
you tried to cut my pride
not this time

you know you’re only throwing empty words my way
cause you won’t break me, you won’t break me
you can’t take me down, no

i don’t have to hear you and the
funny thing about talking is
your words are tired
now i’ve come to realize that
life can be cruel but
the only approval that i need is mine

your voice was like a knife
it used to make me cry
you tried to cut my pride
not this time (yeah)

cannot be heard or seen
this journey starts when i begin loving me
