BIRMINGHAM © 2016 KATIE BRIANNA GARFOOT

​I can hear the beat from the street
All the different kinds of people
Cheap drinks at the bar
Of a two star hotel

Oh, asleep you are my night’s just
Getting started, wish you were here
In a couple hours you’ll wake
To a day, we’re miles apart
 
Wearing my best dresses of silk and lace
Awake, and out in a new place
Can't for the life left in me recall why I came
So many long hours away
 
Tomorrow I’ll be on a train
Travelling through the towns with names
That we hear in all the songs
That we like to listen to
 
I’ll probably go through Basingstoke
On my way to Waterloo
But I don’t care for any place
Unless I am with you 
 
Wearing my best dresses of silk and lace
Awake and out in a new place
Can't for the life left in me recall why I came
So many long hours away
 
Wearing my best dresses of silk and lace
Awake and out in a new place
Can't for the life left in me recall why I came
So many long hours 
So many long hours
So many long hours away
 KING © 2016 KATIE BRIANNA GARFOOT

​You call yourself kindred to me
Call yourself King, and I'd have to agree
 
I am your loyal subject
You are the motivator
When I am down and doubting
You are a gentle praiser
 
You give a little time, you're taking all of mine
It is yours
 
I'll be your closest ally
You give me a cause to fight for
Simply to have you near me
Is enough of a reward
 
If you let me in, the blood beneath my skin
It is yours
 
You call yourself kindred to me
Call yourself King, and I'd have to agree
 
Know I can be a burden
But you never made me feel one
Your power of persuasion
Keeps me from coming undone
 
When I'm walking blind, have mercy on my mind
It is yours
 
You call yourself kindred to me
Call yourself King, and I'd have to agree


ESCAPE OR RESCUE © 2016 KATIE BRIANNA GARFOOT

If I go outside right now
And send a spark into the sky
Would you see it?
If you do, send one to me
I'll be waiting
Hoping it comes on the breeze
 
So, I see it's dark tonight
Hear the wind is picking up the pace
And it chills me
I don't wanna go inside
It's too empty
Come and take me for a ride
 
Don't worry that I'll say I love you
No, honey 'cause I won't
I need some kind of escape, or rescue
Someone I can hold

Gonna close my eyes and I'll
Imagine I am going there
Going somewhere
As long as it is far away
I can hide out
From another wasted day
 
Don't worry that I'll say I love you
No, honey 'cause I don't
I need some kind of escape, or rescue
Someone I can hold
 
I need some kind of escape, or rescue
Someone I can hold, someone I can hold
​Someone I can hold


NOBODY © 2016 KATIE BRIANNA GARFOOT

​Nobody makes my heart beat like you
But I feel like I’m walking 
A step out of time
And it’s clear that the rhythm
I’m feeling ain’t mine
Nobody makes my heart beat like you

Nobody makes my heart race like you
And I’m running so fast 
I might trip and fall down
And when I get up 
You might not be around
Nobody makes my heart race like you

Nobody makes my heart ache like you
When the breath leaves my lungs 
And I’m gasping for air
And it burns like the winter 
To know you don’t care
Nobody makes my heart ache like you


​CHEMICAL LIES © 2016 KATIE BRIANNA GARFOOT

​Oh, chemical lies
Won't you run from my mind
Think about you all the time
The way you hold me in your grip, tight
Yeah, free my blood
From your liquid fire
Fire only fuels my pain
And turns me to ashes the next day

Yesterday was golden
And the next day, well it’s today
And I don't feel the same way
More like rust
All the things they tell me
Are beginning to make sense
But you ruined my defence
My two-faced friend

Oh, chemical lies
Won't you run from my mind
Think about you all the time
The way you hold me in your grip, tight
Yeah, free my blood
From your liquid fire
Fire only fuels my pain
And turns me to ashes the next day

Try as I might to come out on top
But the lesson, I'll never learn

Oh, chemical lies
Won't you run from my mind
Think about you all the time
The way you hold me in your grip, tight
Yeah, free my blood
From your liquid fire
Fire only fuels my pain
And turns me to ashes the next day


TO FEEL BETTER © 2016 KATIE BRIANNA GARFOOT

​Stumble through the door
Do you even know where you are?
Everybody stares
Wanna get a glimpse of the star

In the beginning it was funny
When it seemed like you were having a good time
But now the joke wore off you're looking
For a new way to feel better, to get high

No-one sees you leave
Because you're the last one to go
They will never know
Take another stranger home

In the beginning it was funny
When it seemed like you were having a good time
But now the joke wore off you're looking
For a new way to feel better, to get high

And now the joke wore off you're looking
For a new way to feel better, to get high
For a new way to feel better, to get high
THICKER SKIN © 2016 KATIE BRIANNA GARFOOT
​
​​Oh, nobody owes
Anything to me, I know
No-one comes to take my hand
Not desired, not in demand
 
Can't help feel
You don't care what's right, or real
You don't know me, yet you judge
You pay no heed, assume so much
 
Do I play the victim, or the heroine?
Is my tongue so bitter, should be saccharine
So I lack essential discipline
Yeh I best get growing a thicker skin
 
I see all of them
Lining up to take the chance
Gotta be young, bright and bold
And believe all they are told
 
I'll die with
An unfulfilled desire to live
Drag my name out of the mud
I will pay in flesh and blood
 
Do I play the victim, or the heroine?
Is my tongue so bitter, should be saccharine
So I lack essential discipline
Yeh, I best get growing a thicker skin
 
Yeh,I best get growing a thicker skin
OTHER SIDE OF THE ROAD © 2016 KATIE BRIANNA GARFOOT

​Don’t you go reading too much 
Between the lines
I don’t want you seeing
Through my alibi
Don’t you know
Some things are best left unsaid
I don’t wanna lie
I’m just not ready to say yet
 
Am I only searching for mystery?
You know almost everything there is to know
Maybe all I need is the space to grow
I’ll meet you on the other side of the road
 
Baby I’m far from perfect
You know it’s true
I’m surprised you stand by me
The way you do
Don’t you know
You could leave at any time
I won’t try to stop
You from walking, I won’t ask why
 
Am I only searching for mystery?
You know almost everything there is to know
Maybe all I need is the space to grow
I’ll meet you on the other side 
Meet you on the other side
Meet you on the side of the road


DON'T FEEL RIGHT © 2016 KATIE BRIANNA GARFOOT

I‘ll do my best to put a smile on your face
So I guess that means
No more talking out of place
No more arguing
Won’t put a foot wrong 
And we speak I’ll 
Tell you my life is love and light
Even if it don’t feel right
 
Make sure I look fine on the outside
That’s what matters most
Will the picture stay in place
If the wind blows
All of the lines that 
I’ve been rehearsing
Tell you I’m happy inside
Even if it don’t feel right
 
Guess I’ve got
Only myself to blame and rely on
Can’t always stay strong
Can’t please everyone
 
I don’t wanna let you down again
So I won’t complain
‘Cause you have more than enough
Shit on your plate
So when I’m feeling
Lonely and blue
Won’t call you to talk I won’t cry
Even if it don’t feel right

LOSE YOURSELF AGAIN © 2016 KATIE BRIANNA GARFOOT

​So you had a hard day
And you're needing a way to unwind
But you keep on working
To forget all you had to leave behind

I know you are tired
And I know you will try stay awake
If you're never sleeping
Those are dreams that time can not take

I can tell you, that's not the way
Don't lose yourself again
Let me show you another way
Don't lose yourself again
Don't lose yourself again

You said you were happy
Being one step ahead of the pain
So you're always searching
You can't see what you'll lose, for the gain

I can tell you, that's not the way
Don't lose yourself again
Let me show you another way
Don't lose yourself again

Don't lose yourself again
Don't lose yourself again

THORN IN YOUR SIDE © 2016 KATIE BRIANNA GARFOOT

​Did I hear you right
You got no sleep that night
And I'm the reason 
You couldn't face yourself

Why do you have to be
Surrounding all my dreams
There in the morning
And as I fall asleep

Hard to forget and walk away
You know I have tried
So pull me out, I don't wanna be 
The thorn in your side

I try to catch my breath
But would you dare believe
That I've been holding
It in for all this time

Maybe you'll want me now
Maybe you'll want me more
But this I doubt
I know that nothing's changed

Hard to forget and walk away
You know I have tried
So pull me out, I don't wanna be 
The thorn in your side

ALL I THOUGHT I'D EVER NEED © 2016 KATIE BRIANNA GARFOOT

​I should be asleep
I’m wounded and weak
Worn from the fight
To hold on to ties
I thought could not break

Am I a fool to hope
That when you come home
All of my will 
To leave will be gone
And our love will wake

‘Cause it’s too hard to let you go
For as long as I remember
You are all I have ever known
All I thought I’d ever need
You are all I thought I’d ever need

It’s not in me 
To be what you need
I know you know
I’ll never become 
The wife that you’d like

We could work it out
But I have these doubts
Am I throwing away 
What I know I want
For something I might

But it’s too hard to let you go
For as long as I remember
You are all I have ever known
All I thought I’d ever need
You are all I thought I’d ever need
