Here I Lie

(Karianne Gabaldon)

A song to raise awareness about the psychosis/mental illness, schizoaffective disorder. It is a very hard and scary illness to cope with, but with knowledge and awareness, we can all pull through.

(Verse 1) 
 
A slow stabbing with a with a knife without grip 
It digs deep, impales my organs, blood doesn’t drip 
Running fast in a field 
Where I’m wearing a shield 
To cover me. 
 
My mood stabilizes then goes back off 
I’m a walking time bomb but you’re the one to talk 
I’m insane but don’t go 
Because I love you so 
You’re so lovely. 
 
(Chorus) 
 
Please give me a mental break before I breakdown 
Please give me a mental break before I breakdown  
Please give me a mental break before I breakdown  
Here I lie. 
 
(Verse 2) 
 
I hideout in this drought full of doubt 
I try to get a drink but no water in the spout  
My exhaust pipe is rust 
Why do I always trust 
Dark strangers? 
 
I get online and there’s no freedom here 
I am grabbing the wheel but it’s so hard to steer 
I can’t lie 
There are times 
Where I just want to die 
Because psychotic breakdowns are so tough it’s hard to even try.

Dear Storm

A lyric about facing your toughest storm and begging for mercy; you cannot fight this fight anymore, so you’re giving up—throwing in the towel. You just want this heavy storm to pass.

I danced for you

By Sherab Lhamo

Life is a play and each of us have a role. Much like a movie, there is a begging, a middle and an end. The end brings about goodbye for characters that we fall in love with at some point.

The QUEEN OF MY HEART

By Grace Ibe

There are times one has to choose between duty and the heart. Sometimes, one is caught between a rock and a hard place. Love can be both heaven and hell as one faces the hard choice to let go because love does not hold back.

Aufstehn

Angel In The Fire

By Stanley Chris

The song is a poetic expression of love for someone the persona thinks is the most special person to them. In Verse 1 he refers to her as "a woman like no other" (line 2) and in Verse 2 as "a woman who is more than gold" (line 2). She is a woman who has embraced him the way he is, with all his flaws and he terms her "a place where my demons are overcome" (Verse 1 line 2), and "a place where my failures are overthrown (Verse 2 line 2). She is a shoulder to lean on and is presently available during tough times as captured in the Bridge. The Chorus employs the use of Biblical allusion by referencing the story of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego and how they were supernaturally delivered from the fiery furnace by an angel of God. She apparently has an infectious smile that calms nerves with an unusual ease (Chorus line 2). The last two lines of the Chorus express the persona's commitment to abide by her until death does them apart in keeping with the vows the two had earlier taken during their wedding.
