Maybe I’ll Fly Music and Lyrics by Halie Loren © 2005, Jammin Salmon Music (ASCAP) I’m getting buried underneath a crumbling castle While the pretty kingdom you built all falls down Though once you treated me like royalty, it doesn’t mean anything Now that you’ve stripped away the crown… Who was that little girl who gave in so quickly To the notion that a prince would make my life sound? And as you ride away into the West my only regret is maybe I should’ve built my own damn house… With you at my side I covered my eyes Letting you lead me through my life and now That you let me fall—maybe I’ll fly someday, I’ll learn to fly Maybe I’ll Fly I never asked what fairytales would have to offer me I guess only your love and my lost Identity But She’s coming up and when she finally blooms Maybe She’ll be somebody’s more substantial fantasy… With you at my side I covered my eyes Letting you lead me through my life and now That you let me fall—maybe I’ll fly someday, I’ll learn to fly Maybe I’ll Fly (Instrumental/Scatting solo) With you at my side I covered my eyes Letting you lead me through my life and now That you let me fall—maybe I’ll fly And I’m free enough to decide—enough to realize I don’t even like castles anyway, and now That I’m free to fall I’ll fly— fly— Someday I’ll fly.

Alone 04:44
"Alone" Music and Lyrics by Halie Loren © 2005, Jammin Salmon Music (ASCAP) Lying awake, on my own again I can finally steal the entire bed And yet I curl into this ball of flesh Protected from the chill that starts Inside my bones and spreads to parts Of me that I’d forgotten could feel The pain of cold But they’ll numb themselves soon enough or so I’m told Alone Desperate for somebody, for you to hold But all I’ll be is holding out until the only skin I need’s my own To feel at home again Alone again Window is open and the sky is dim You know me and my affair with 4 a.m. But all I wish for now is sleep’s sweet release Music of the rain keeps me awake Wishing it were running down my face Instead of rivulets of the saltier kind Oh, how it stings But like learning, healing’s only something time can bring Alone Desperate for somebody, for you to hold But all I’ll be is holding out until the only skin I need’s my own To feel at home again Alone again The walls where our shadows used to play The echoes of promises we made The sheets where our bodies used to lay Tangled and hard to discern like telling apart happiness and familiar comfort

Sand 03:17
"Sand" Music and Lyrics by Halie Loren © 2005, Jammin Salmon Music (ASCAP) Sand—nothing but sand Left of the Diamonds in our hands Tight—held on too tight Until we crumbled the prism’s light Oh-I---should have known Oh-when---to let go… Why do we take, take from a good thing Until we break, break it as far as it can go Thinking we’ll make, make it better but never can it be more Can it be more than…Sand What good is sand? When I wanted lasting When I needed solid land Oh-we---bled it dry Oh-we---let it die… Why do we take, take from a good thing Until we break, break it as far as it can go Thinking we’ll make, make it better but never can it be more Can it be more—more--more … Than Sand… Sand… Sand.

Pretty Truth 03:51
"Pretty Truth" Music and Lyrics by Halie Loren © 2005, Jammin Salmon Music (ASCAP) You still pretend you like to let— Me always choose I still pretend that I don’t get— Pissed off at you when I lose Brand new Maybe we should blind each other right now Before it all starts showing-- Through… We are but figments we can never live up to… But beneath the pretty polish We could always find an even prettier truth I don’t know yet the kind of woman You think you wish I was You don’t know yet just how many men Know all the places you love on me, too But soon The bliss of ignorance will lift And in the clarity it’ll all show Through… We are but figments we can never live up to… But beneath the pretty polish, We could always find an even prettier truth In the real you and me underneath the frilly niceties We will eventually have to peel the mask away And show what we’re made of Oooooh… We are but figments we can never live up to… But beneath the pretty polish, We could always find an even We could always find an even prettier truth

Kitty 05:06
KITTY © Halie Loren, 2005 (Jammin' Salmon Music, ASCAP) Girls will be girls will hate girls Sticking the needles in Just underneath the skin Friends will make friends will break friends To secure a seat On that precious hierarchy… That you use to belittle All the people you left riddled All along your way to the top (CH) Hey there, kitty kitty You’re so sweet and pretty ‘Til someone poses a threat Your Ugly Side is showing They never see it coming Until they feel your claws deep in their backs Face to my face you’re two-faced Behind wide-eyes there’s hate You’re Sabotage incarnate… Lust bleeds for lust feeds your lust You screwed us all for more So you could be top Power-Whore But you don’t seem aware Those you climbed above to get there Won’t stand under you long and you’ll fall…down Hey there, kitty kitty You’re so sweet and pretty ‘Til someone poses a threat Your Ugly Side is showing They never see it coming Until they feel your claws deep in their backs (BR) And when you spiral down into the hole you’ve mined Hope you enjoy the ride ‘Cause it’s “coming around” real soon if YOU don’t…. Hey there, kitty kitty You’re so sweet and pretty ‘Til someone poses a threat Your Ugly Side is showing They never see it coming Until they feel your claws deep in their backs Hey there, Kitty Kitty You’re such a….

Full Circle 04:45
FULL CIRCLE ©Halie Loren, 2005 (Jammin' Salmon Music, ASCAP) It feels good to hurt you It feels good to turn it all around on you To not be the one who’s falling down onto The scattered, jagged shards of a broken heart It’s my turn to scar you It’s my turn to twist the knife a little more To walk out as you lie bleeding on the floor You’ll feel what real “Alone” is—like I did Thanks to you Here’s to you You knew—you wouldn’t always get away with it You knew—all things come around someday Full Circle I used to believe you I used to believe in a lot of things Like trust and faith and love and loyalty Now I’m cold and cynical—just like you You’ve sown so many seeds This time I’ll see you reap You knew—you wouldn’t always get away with it You knew—all things come around someday Full Circle I won’t be just another slave To your cruel, sadistic game You cracked me once, but I won’t cave You can’t just throw me Throw me Throw me Away You knew—you wouldn’t always get away with it You knew—all things come around someday Full Circle

Empty 04:12
EMPTY ©2004, Halie Loren (Jammin' Salmon Music, ASCAP) Stick it through Suck it in Chew it up Spit it out That’s a good girl Don’t you give up now You won’t be okay ‘Til you’re inside out and Empty Empty Empty Isn’t that what you wanted? Shove away Lock it out Eat the air Fill your mouth Who really needs a soul When heaven’s right now In these skinny jeans Making your god so proud You’re Empty Empty Empty Isn’t that what you wanted? Little seed… now an ugly tree Watered by…the self-hate you feed upon Darkened eyes—silent cry Slowly die—in your mind In your mind In your mind As you empty… Empty Empty Empty Isn’t that… Oh, isn’t that what you wanted?

Numb 03:47
NUMB © 2005 Halie Loren (Jammin' Salmon Music, ASCAP) “Get it out of your head,” they said “don’t you wanna forget?” “We know you wanna be numb, come on… Shut it off just like everyone has done” They’ll tell you just what you need to know They’ll erase what you don’t They’re looking out for your every step Is the intent to control or protect? Smile, it’s okay They can make the (whole) big, bad world go away… Shut it off shut it off shut it off (CH) Don’t see, don’t hear Don’t know, don’t fear Now don’t you feel better now, my dear? Shouldn’t our hunger for truth be calmed? We’ve been without it so long So many seem not to mind it now The image of integrity whittled down Don’t we (all) deserve To live in a dream, feeling safe and undisturbed… Shut it off, shut it off, shut it off… Don’t see, don’t hear Don’t know, don’t fear Now don’t you feel better now, my dear? Get it out of your head, get it out of your head Just close your eyes and be led, the age of reason is dead…. Get it out of your head, get it out of your head Swallow what you’ve been fed, the age of reason is dead The age of reason is dead, reason is dead, reason is dead…

Almost Even 03:08
ALMOST EVEN (© Halie Loren, 2005) If I could take half the fire from my lips Put it in your heart, and rub it on the tip of your tongue We’d be almost even If I could rev you up and leave you in neutral Feeling out the gears and never locking fully in Drive We’d be almost even Hey, we’d be… Almost even If you could swim halfway I would throw you a short line Almost even Well, I’m not the cruel kind, but baby I’d make an exception this time If I could pick you up when you’re shiny and new Show you off, pack you up, and shelve you with my other old toys We’d be almost even Hey, we’d be… Almost even If I could push you off a cliff and say “I’ll catch you the next time” Almost even Well, I’m not the cruel kind, But baby I’d make an exception this time Almost even If you could swim halfway I’d throw you a short line Almost even Well, I’m not the cruel kind, But baby I’d make an exception, I’m… Almost even If I could push you off a cliff and say “I’d catch you if I had the time” Almost even Well, I’m not the cruel kind, But baby I’d make an exception I’m not the cruel kind, But baby I’d make an exception I’m not the cruel kind, But baby I’d make an exception this time

Sisters 05:14
SISTERS © 2005, Written by Halie Loren (Jammin' Salmon Music, ASCAP) I’ll pick you up and carry you away Out of the dark I’ll chase away the demons, keep you safe ‘Til you find your spark again You and me, expected to be the Healers, the Givers, The Mothers Who else can we run to if it isn’t To one another? There’s a tie that binds me and you That no circumstances could undo And I—I call you “Sister” You—are never all alone We—We are all Sisters And we never have to make it on our own We were there together lost in the waves With so much to lose Trapped inside the clutches of a thousand fates That were never ours to choose But side-by-side we lasted the storm And found ourselves standing on the shore And I—I call you “Sister” You—are never all alone We—We are all Sisters And we never have to make it on our own No force can take No force can break our faith In our Sisters I am—you are—never all alone And I—I call you “Sister” You—are never all alone And I—I am And You—You are And We—We are all… Sisters.

Lucky 04:15
Lucky Written by Halie Loren, a©2005 (Jammin’ Salmon Music, ASCAP) I have a bowl of fruit A sink that rarely leaks When I breathe I fill my lungs with air that’s sweet I have a soft bed A closet full of clothes When I step outside its on soil where grass can grow And I have, I have, I have, I have… Enough And I need, I need, I need, I need… Nothing else much, I’m Lucky—this a lucky life I see it more and more how Lucky is a relative state of mind And as long as I concede That I’ve got all that I need To be satisfied, I’ll feel lucky All my life I have a friend to call A sister to worry about me When I fall, I know someone will help me get back on my feet And I have, I have, I have, I have, I have… More than I know And I need, I need, I need, I need, I need… Nothing else to show I’m Lucky—this is a lucky life I see it more and more how Lucky is a relative state of mind And as long as I concede that I’ve got all that I need to be satisfied I’ll feel lucky all my life. Sometimes when times when get hard it’s hard to believe Life’s not a dry well But seeing what fades, what lasts, gives me reason to remind myself… Lucky is a state of mind My friend, I’m so Lucky—this is a lucky life I see it more and more how Lucky is a relative state of mind And as long as I concede That I’ve got all that I need To be satisfied, I’ll feel lucky All my life. I have a bowl of fruit….
