Chorus: Bright lights Dark nights Strange sights Sharp knives Sitting down Standing up Here we go I'm going crazy Blacking out Underneath Feeling strange Where to go now Bright lights Dark nights Strange sights Sharp knives All around me I want to go Get me out of here Sitting down Standing up Here we go I'm going crazy Blacking out Underneath Feeling strange Where to go now Chorus

(Chorus) You look so pretty today!! No I'm not, no I'm not, I'm already sold Too many standards I've been told Economic reasons exploit my mind Trapped tied down with hopes that bind Why can't I be free Why can't I just be My reflection tells all As I point out every flaw Covered with makeup Waist cinched small enough Skin tight black dress What a pretty mess All my work will never be enough All in all efforts wasted To never be skinny Skin will never be smooth Hair is always so frizzy New trends always so soon I can never keep up Why aren't I beautiful like them Chorus I even know what I should do I already know what is true Throw out the magazines No more photoshopped crap Slip on comfy shoes No more vicious high heels I can list more but I am too attached In the end, too little manage I can not be free Too much self hate Trapped by insecurities Lead to a cursed fate I am too afraid Why aren't I strong like them? Chorus

I woke up, I looked up, and bumped my head I looked down, turned around, the alarm clock said It's time to get up now and make my bed It's too late, it's past 8, I'm up instead I'm undressed, bad breath, mom's outside She's beeping, I'm half dead, I have no ride I'm outside, I can't hide, I have no life School now, a fool now, I want to fight CHORUS I'm having a really bad day Anyone who sees me is gonna pay But all the exit signs tell me to stay And all I want to do now is runaway My friends are all eating, I want to sleep I feel down, I'm bleeding, I need to pee I have class, it goes fast, I'm really glad The teacher gives homework, I'm really mad Kids pass notes, I'm stuck in the middle So I got detention, feel so little I'm out, mom shouts, so I start to pout Don't you, don't ask me, cause I'm done now CHORUS
4.
A little girl with a complex mind Soon enough she'll leave us all behind Burning bright to no end but why does she have no friends So she dyed her hair And changed her clothes Got contacts so no one would know That inside inside she was so much more than a poster child or a perfect girl CHORUS We're not the same we need to be ourselves not barbie dolls On a dusty shelf Too different too lovely for you With no other options What could she do A little girl running out of time Looking for a moment where she can finally shine But do the world she is only seen As a liar and an ice queen CHORUS That girl no longer is herself She's a plastic doll, Prim and proper on that shelf, She lost the spark That sun used to burn so bright Now she collects dust each day and night She was so different so lovely Too special for us Now she's nothing more than a girl A victim of the press Not she's gone, she's gone So far away And now she won't ever see another day
5.
I wake up everyday With a smile on my face, Moving at my own simple pace. I can't remember what happened yesterday, Like I threw it into the deep water of the bay 'Cause I'm only living here and now, Can't take it away from me 'Cause I'm only living here and now, being only who I wanna be I decide where I want to go, Slow, slow, slow Don't let anything pass by you these days 'Cause I'm only living here and now, Can't take it away from me 'Cause I'm only living here and now, being only who I wanna be We're all moving in our own different ways It will pay off in some ways someday 'Cause I'm only living here and now, Can't take it away from me 'Cause I'm only living here and now, being only who I wanna be
6.
You don't know why you love him. You get scared when he crosses the room. He never sees you, you want him so you do anything Chorus Oh no (x3) In love (x3) ~Whale call~ (x5) Repeat Chorus
7.
I'm so hungry I can't wait I hope the right breakfast fills my plate Maybe some oatmeal or french toast I don't know Muffins, orange juice or some apples Bacon, melon or fruit salad Leftovers from last night And a glass of Snapple (Chorus) Whoa oh oh! What's for lunch, what should I eat I'll have a salad to beat the heat Maybe I'll take a trip down south To get a taco for my mouth (Chorus) Dinnertime, I don't know Maybe some green beans I can grow I'll cross the Pacific for some miso soup And some sushi with wasabi too (rap) Yo I'm Kate the Great When I opened my eyes my hunger couldn't wait The fridge was stocked, I couldn't decide Toast, pancakes, eggs that were fried? A little bit of everything, that was enough choosing my food is getting tough Lunchtime came, my tummy's rumblin' Went to the diner, saw cookies crumblin' That's for dessert, I told myself So I went to see the sandwich shelf Cheddar, swiss, ham on rye It was so hard to choose I started to cry Had to go hungry, what a shame But soon enough dinner came Soup, steak, mashed potatoes It's all so good my stomach grows I'm pretty full but I'm not done Dessert is a big warm hot cross bun Ice cream, apple pie, brownies too Cookies, cheesecake, it's too much to chew! After that I've surely gained But tomorrow morning I'll start again Where's the beef? Well that's us And I hope you heard THE NOM-NOM'S will have your coming back for thirds! (Chorus) WORD
8.
I hear a rumbling, a strange grumbling This night, doesn't seem normal There's a monster in my closet That's what I dream every night I stare at my closet and click on my flashlight Monster, Monster He's growling tonight Monster, monster Get out of my sight! I can't sleep with this beast He's ready to feast! I crawl under my sheet and my heart goes beat.. beat.. beat. Monster, Monster He's growling tonight Monster, monster Get out of my sight! (Guitar solo) I close my eyes and there he is... SURPRISE!
9.

One day we will make the waters sing One day everyone will listen to us One day we will make the bells ring One day we will be super-stars One day, but not today... One day, but not today...

One day, but not today... Okay one day today

“We are the Fantastic Four & We're here to rock your world!” Boys & girls, I'm gonna tell you a story about the lives of girls. Chorus: Girls are so awesome in so many ways, in so many ways that I just can't say. Girls might pout, but they like to ROCK OUT, ROCK OUT! Girls are smart and girls are strong, Girls don't ever do no wrong. Girls are pretty, girls are sweet. Girls like sweets and girls like treats. Girls are even really neat!

14.
I close my eyes and I think About all of the people without no home or food I wonder what I should do And I think and think to see what I could do, so I gathered up some people and got donations for the poor If I had one dream I would be a millionaire There will be stacks of million dollars fly in the air I close my eyes and I think about all the people out there without no home, food, or shelter, cause they might had the dream as me, but for them to they Must be the good people that we need Hands up in the air 1 time if you love good music Hands up in the air 2 if if you love Anna I close my eyes and I think About all of the people without no home or food I wonder what I should do
15.
I'm at my house on Halloween night. It's pitch black and everything is silent. Then I hear a sound, a scream, and then I realize, (chorus) They're coming for me, They're coming for me, I lay there frozen in shock, I can't move a muscle, I'm so scared, I try to hide beneath the covers, and I hear a creak. I know that (chorus) I lock all my windows and I lock all my doors, I hide under my bed, but then I hear a roar (chorus) They climb through my window and the open my door.
16.
Hanging with my friends on a hot summer day. In the pool with a colorful beach ball swimming free I'm blowing with the breeze and a cold orange juice. Chorus: Never want summer to end! Just want to be with my friends! x3 Diving in dolphin style My hands touch the bottom I pop up like a popcorn queen and I swim my way out! Chorus
