Make-Believe World Lyrics

Verse

Those pose

Those move, we watch

We feel to appear freedom

No worry from conflicts

Chorus

Jump into

A make-believe  world

This is where we dream

Where nothing ever happens to us

Verse

We try so hard

only to imagine

What it's like

Feeling no fear or pain

Chorus

Verse

We know, we're told, we should be careful

We're warned of harm

Whom has had it done

So many times

Bridge

Let go

Feel free

Even if only just for one moment

Just the same as then well before

Chorus

"My Waltz" #newsong #lorijeanfinnila #singersongwriter #alternativelifestyle #podcast

 Free draft of song "Where's My Waltz?" Though I have passion, I still crave romance too.

Lyrics:

Verse

All these things of nonsense

Get in my way

I’m trying to push myself

To a place where I’m supposed to be

Though I crave passion

I still do too to romance

Chorus

Where’s my waltz?

I need love

It’s so important 

To me too

Where’s my waltz?

Verse

Tip on my toes in my head

Till I see myself falling off a cliff

I’m busy in my head

Don’t appear to have time

For anything else

Bridge

Incomprehensible images 

controllingly sit before me

I’m left confused

What is my next step

Chorus

Verse

Perhaps it’s a protector

A guard a knight

A self-defense mechanism

It’s embedded so deep inside me

I can’t see it

Maybe this is why

This is seen to you

So strongly this way

Chorus

If we've lost everything in life, we still have pen and paper.

"No, No, No" #mysexy #song #lorijeanfinnila #singersongwriter

 Really liking this one. Needed a sexy picture.

No, No, No

Lyrics:

Verse

I say no

Though that's not what I mean

I want you

When I capture your presence near me

 

 Chorus

I can't do or think what  I want to

I was meant to never be this way

I was in the wrong place

I was taught to say no

Verse

My mind keeps coming

Back to you

Your words, your breath

The way I watch you move

Picturing you inside me

 

Chorus

I can't do or think what I want to

I was meant to never be this way

I was in the wrong place

I was taught to say no

 

Verse

I shudder when I see you leave

Knowing I'll never see you again

I imagine everything you'd do

Your touch your taste

Your mouth inside of mine

 

Chorus 

I can't do what I want

I promised I would never do

Never thinking on my own

Standing all alone

 

I can't do or think what I want to

I was meant to never be this way

I was born in the wrong place

I was taught to say no

 

No, no, no

repeat

Lyrics:

Verse

Dog wrestles on my ears

Till they look melted like wax

Behind the dark, cold corner

Of the cellar stairs

More powerful than the masochist

 

Chorus

Safer than

What we go through

In the long run

Better than what

Could have been

 

Verse

Men that want to

Put their hands

Down my bloomies

More powerful

than the smugglers

 

Chorus

Safer than

What we go through

In the long run

Better than what

Could have been

 

Verse

Thrust onto my bed

With a cracked neck

Safer than my daddy

 

Bridge

Unwanted babies

Lined up by little girls

Safer for the priests

Spotlight

 

Chorus

Safer than

What we go through

In the long run

Better than what

Could have been
