Punching

(Verse 1) Humming a tune, a little off key Sun"s in my hair, just how it should be Got my favorite sweater, the one with the holes Smiling real wide, playing my roles Yeah, the neighbors all wave, say I look so bright Like a little light, shining ever so tight But the light"s a bulb, flickering low Behind this facade, nobody should know (Chorus) "Cause I"ve perfected the art of the fake it till you make it Wrapped up in sunshine, nobody can break it Got a smile plastered on, a wallpaper kind Pretty and smooth, hiding what"s on my mind And I"m tired, tired of this silent show But how do you ask for help when you don"t even know Where to begin, to unravel the thread? Just wanna lay down, and sleep in my head (Verse 2) Scroll through my feed, everyone"s living the dream Perfectly happy, overflowing the stream And I"m just here watching, a ghost in the scene Pretending I’m fine, oh so serene I laugh at the jokes, nod along to the talk But inside I’m crumbling, like a sidewalk Cracked and uneven, feels like I’m about to fall But I plaster it over, I give it my all (Chorus) "Cause I"ve perfected the art of the fake it till you make it Wrapped up in sunshine, nobody can break it Got a smile plastered on, a wallpaper kind Pretty and smooth, hiding what"s on my mind And I"m tired, tired of this silent show But how do you ask for help when you don"t even know Where to begin, to unravel the thread? Just wanna lay down, and sleep in my head (Bridge) Maybe someday, the cracks will show through Maybe somebody, will see past the hue Of this painted smile, this careful display And finally help me, find my own way To feel genuine, like a seed in the earth Growing and reaching, showing my true worth Without the mask, the charade, the disguise Just me, my own self, underneath clear skies (Chorus) "Cause I"m tired of the art of the fake it till you make it I wanna feel sunshine, without having to fake it Gonna peel off the smile, the wallpaper so thin Let the real me breathe, let the healing begin Yeah, I"m tired of this silent show And maybe now I"m ready, ready to let go Ready to start, to find my own thread To finally get up, and get out of my head (Outro) Just wanna feel okay, just wanna feel okay Maybe tomorrow, maybe today...

Hey, little ducklings, can you hear me now? We gotta fix something, let me show you how. Punchin’ in and out is the key, It’s how we track your time, don’t you see? (Pre-Chorus) I was lookin’ at the time clock, and I got scared, It’s like some of you weren’t even there! A few missed it, some didn’t punch at all, We can’t keep up if we’re missing that call! (Chorus) Punch in, punch out, don’t leave me hanging, We’ve got a rhythm, let’s get it bangin’! Clock’s tickin’, it’s what we do, Punch in, punch out, it’s all on you! 🎶 (Verse 2) I know you’re busy, I know you’ve got plans, But you gotta punch in, just do what you can! We need the times to all match up right, It’s important, so we don’t lose sight! (Pre-Chorus) I checked the clock, and I thought, “Oh no!” Some of those punches were way too slow, If we’re gonna make it through the week, We need your help, it’s not too weak! (Chorus) Please, please, please, punch in and out! No more confusion, no more doubt! Time cards gotta be clean and neat, Punch in, punch out, it’s not too sweet! 🎶 (Bridge) Just a tap, that’s all it takes, Don’t leave me hangin’ with mistakes! It’s simple, I know you can, Punch in, punch out, be part of the plan! (Chorus) Please, please, please, punch in and out! We gotta keep things clear, that’s no doubt! Don’t make it hard, just keep it straight, Punch in, punch out, don’t be late! 🎶 (Outro) Punch in, punch out, let’s all agree, It’s the way to go, it’s the way to be! Please, please, please, punch in and out!

In this state of mind, a shadow on my soul, Health never healed from the first shock's toll. I shun the light of human eyes, Where joy or peace, only agony lies. Solitude, my dark embrace, A quiet place, a sacred space. Where shadows dwell and silence speaks, In death-like calm, my refuge seeks. The laughter of the world, a bitter lament, I seek the comfort of the quiet, the absent. In the absence of light, in the hush of the night, I find my peace, out of the world's sight. Solitude, my dark embrace, A quiet place, a sacred space. Where shadows dwell and silence speaks, In death-like calm, my refuge seeks. This solitude, this solemn vow, Where darkness wraps me like a shroud. In the quiet, in the night's embrace, I find my peace, my hiding place. Solitude, my dark embrace, A quiet place, a sacred space. Where shadows dwell and silence speaks, In death-like calm, my refuge seeks. In this state of mind, a shadow on my soul, In solitude's arms, I am whole.

Whispers in the dark a familiar tune Promises like flowers, but they wilt too soon Court in your web, I can't find a way Every time I rise, you pull me back to stay You paint me with colours and wash them away a puppet on strings in your cruel charade I'm lost in the shadows where hope feels so dim trying to break free, but you pull me back in Round and round im trapped in this game Your Love Feels Like Fire, and it burns just the same Im fighting the echoes of words that you say. I'm trying to break the cycle, but im learning again I'm learning to rise, though the journey is long with each step I take. I'm finding my song No more will i ponder no longer afraid Mirror Mirror show me the way The chains that you forged they rattled my soul, but I'm picking up pieces im taking control Each day is a battle, but with every step forward , im embracing the light Round and round im breaking these chains Your Love Feels Like poison, but I'll heal from the pain I'm reclaiming my power im breaking this cycle finally unmade So here's to the future where I'll stand on my own No longer a shadow, I'm finally grown with strength in my heart, my ill rise on my own unbreaking the chains I'm ready to win No More Round and Round like a merry go round No more whispers, im desf to tha sound No love from u equals no love from me So you do you and ill do me (giggles) ill do it right baby
