Lullaby 04:45
There are no words I could speak to win this battle quickly Too many lives in the balance to lose Shoulder to shoulder we fall, but we’ll never stop fighting Hand in hand we cry out for a change I, I’m gonna be alright Yeah, with the drums as my lullaby So sing me to sleep tonight I want you to move me Rip me open, I am strong enough to take it Cut me deeper, I am crazy enough to make it And I, I’m gonna be just fine With your sweet hymn as my lullaby So angel burn me alive I want you to move me Please take me away, make me a fool for you Thoughts dim, hips sway, I want to move for you Bass deep in my chest, filling my soul is surely yours Just make me forget, and keep it coming till the morn And I’ll be… Alright With the drums as my lullaby So angel burn me alive I want you to move me With the drums as my lullaby, dance till the sun rise Oh no, I want you to be my alibi Dance till the sun rise

Scattered my thoughts flow, plotting and planning, running on high I sprint to the future searching for answers that may never come Worms in my chest squirm, wriggle and wrangle, won’t let me be Gasping still chasing a moving target just out of reach My heart it races, skin burning, blood pumping, crippling my tongue Get lost in the rhythm, consumed by the movement of my shallow breath Losing all feeling, I grasp for the moment, but deeper I fall My head's in a fog, spinning out of control I search for a hold I’m breaking and I’m falling behind No matter how hard I try to keep it in line And I’m, I’m burning, I’m drowning Winds picking up, the waves crash on down Crashing on down, they’re pulling me under Oh… Head buzzing and floating, sounds fading to whispers I crash to the ground Nerves tingle, I’m shaking Thoughts fuzzy and floating, when will it end?

Sweet Sorrow 05:14
Can you walk me home, I need to go The world is spinning much too fast I, I know we have a problem Please help me now Cause I, I don’t trust myself to be alone with my vices I am weak in the face of despair And I, I know if we can make it through just one more night We can win this, oh yeah Too much reckless compassion I wear the weight of the world on my shoulders, I know So I take a little hit to cope But feel nothing now, oh no I, I can’t bear it, I can’t take it any longer I am weak in the face of despair And I, I know if we can make it through just one more night We can win this Oh, only sweet sorrow sang the blues today And it’s so much easier to pretend we’re okay But can’t you see I’m not the crazy one The ship is sinking and we’re running out of time Can’t you see I’m not the crazy one Our world’s on fire and we need to feel the burn Can’t you see I’m not the crazy one Won’t take your pills, can’t numb it out any longer Can’t you see I’m not the crazy one Oh no big brother, we’ll die here

Patience 02:59
I can feel your tie becoming a noose Won't play by your rules No I won't be your puppet anymore And I refuse to let fear impede the truth Got nothing to lose Now I know it's always been our move Teach me patience To enjoy each moment Don't want to cave to expectations Let's create a new reality The time has come to question this flight plan On the verge of crashing We fatten our wallets to feed our possessions Now we're aching Teach me patience To enjoy each moment Don't want to cave to expectations Let's create a new reality Teach me patience Cause I’m exhausted Playing your games Won't do it anymore Your lies are not what I live for Won't become a victim to your broken system I see through the facade Won't become a victim to your broken system Let's create, let's create a new reality We have everything, we have everything we need
5.
Surrender 07:05
I feel the tides changing Lightning growing bold on the horizon I am infinite If only for now I surrender I surrender Take me in, break me down In my death I’ll be reborn I surrender I surrender Take me to the other side Show me what it means to be alive I just wanna know I just wanna feel what it’s like to live without my ego I surrender I surrender There’s more to life than just nine to five I need something to satisfy me, oh I surrender Tired of chasing that perfect body There has got to be more, I surrender Finally it’s time we shatter this facade, I surrender Finally it’s time we shatter this facade, I surrender Finally it’s time we shatter this facade, I surrender Finally it’s time we shatter this facade, I surrender

Reunite (free) 03:38
Why do we glorify war as if battle was only noble I would rather not see them dying Our brothers, our sisters, our children Sacrificed in the name of fighting evil But What if I was accidentally evil too and didn’t even know it I was so sure that I was right And what if I was accidentally in too deep, drowning in the current Would you lend me your hand? And what if there were no answers, to strategy What if we, what if we were part of something larger Something stronger, something grander We’re here to reunite People on the streets keep telling me we don’t know how to trust anymore And I’m not surprised We keep ourselves full with bullets and lies But when did you last talk to a stranger? When was your last encounter with the rain? How can you promise me the answers When you know you’re blind to all you see? What if I was accidentally evil too and didn’t even know it I was so sure that I was right And what if I was accidentally in too deep, drowning in the current Would you lend me your hand? And what if there were no answers, so strategy What if we, what if we were part of something larger Something stronger, something grander We’re here to reunite

Reflections 04:28
Keep on moving, keep on shaking, keep on grooving We're headed to the one love revolution Toward forgiveness We’re getting closer, can’t you feel it, can’t you taste it We’re on our way to a higher resolution If we could just breathe in We are much too hesitant to give up all we know, or think we know Even if its toxic And I have opened up my eyes, I wanna feel the sun warm my body Then watch my heart explode Show, show, show me your reflections It’s all, it’s all, it’s all reverberation Show, show, show me your reflections It’s all, it’s all, it’s all reverberation More blood is not the answer to healing I’m headed towards our peaceful evolution And I’m but a messenger of forgiveness I remember And we are much too hesitant to give up all we know, or think we know Even if its toxic And I have opened up my eyes, I wanna feel the sun warm my body Then watch my heart explode Show, show, show me your reflections It’s all, it’s all, it’s all reverberation Show, show, show me your reflections It’s all, it’s all, it’s all reverberation Sometimes I think this world’s a little underrated We’re alive, we can heal, it’s a miracle Sometimes I think this life’s a little underrated We can dance, we can heal, it’s a miracle Show, show, show me your reflections It’s all, it’s all, it’s all reverberation Show, show, show me your reflections It’s all, it’s all, it’s all reverberation Show me your reflections It’s all reverberation Show, show, show me your reflections It’s all, it’s all, it’s all reverberation Show, show, show me your reflections It's all, it's all, it's all reverberation

about

Best known for her surprisingly unique voice, Michelle's expressive lyrics are intensified by her distinct vibrato, colored by a low, rich timbre and transcendent soprano overtones. With the production support of Aaron Walters; abstract drum grooves, heart-wrenching piano ballads, and driving rhythms now augment Michelle’s originally acoustic renditions, purposefully echoing a mixture of genres thread together to create a mosaic of sound unified in its call for a higher consciousness.
