Confessions of a Bullied Artist- Ashley Franklin

lyrics

i’ve been praying for time 
with my palms kissing their insides 
and my knees are bruised from the tile 
hope i’m getting through

it feels like i’m waiting in line 
screaming Jesus give me a sign 
i’ve got my eyes focused on the sky 
and my dreams in pocket

putting my bets on deck 
spent my last few coins on a set 
feeling that i’ll get my way in the end 
though the chance is slim

oh dear lord give me this 
don’t want waste my life 
in the attempt to try 
and always miss

oh sweet lord tell this girl 
what’s a dreamer to do upon 
awakening to a cruel cold world

support these days ain’t cheap 
its getting harder to impress anybody 
and i’ve grown impatient 
but i’m still waiting onYou

is this the life for me 
am i shooting for more than i can be 
when doubt’s your best friend 
and doors refuse to open 
friendly faces speak firm rejection

and though few believe 
in fear or destiny 
i’m afraid i have fallen to a fate undesired 
bound by gravity

Collection of Days -Ashley Franklin

new song, listen if your interested :)

or don’t if you’re not haha

lyrics-

we’ve been waiting for another chance at chance

changing places indulging in a dance

unaware of the stepswe are just tracing paths

of those before us

ignorant to our plans

even if you want all my love

even if you want all my trust

it will never be enough

you’re slowing pace tangled in your mess’

formality has brought you into a deep you cant descend

even if you want all my love

even if you want all my trust

it will never be enough

are we without breathe now

have we turned our hearts and how

have the lost found

irreplaceable grace in a stumbling crowd

even if you want all my love

even if you want all my trust

it will never be enough

are we losing focus

and were losing hope

so recklessly we are binding self to sea

treading aimlessly

even if you want all my love

even if you want all my trust

it will never be enough

Look At Me MEOW (the juggernaut song)

watched Drop Dead Gorgeous the other day,  and wrote this little diddy, hope you enjoy it to some degree.

lyrics:

this is not the time
to start measuring
all the things you could have been
all the folks your better than
stop take it in, let it out

it is not the place
that you are headed in
sweet jaded juggernaut
say you will, when i no your not
ready to slow down for a while

to sing the blues with me
feel a little honesty

hold you breathe maybe it gets better

accuser all around
is it lonely now
ring a round of accolades
slumber in the bed you made
no, you refuse the blame

before or after
or does it matter
a tiger doesn’t lose its stripes
they only dim within the night
right, one could only wish you would

there is something you wont say
and its itching on the egde of your tongue
cant bite away

there are things that time wont change
like a past approved pity party of one
or a forgotten day


call the council in
just in judgement
they only want to hear the facts
but fiction is all you getting at
well, i could understand why you can




sing the blues with me
feel the honesty honesty
fight the urge to be
a bitter contestant

Blue Moon (uke cover)- The Platters/Billie Holiday (Ashley Franklin & Adrianna Perez)

BLAST FROM THE PAST

i tried out for american idol last year, completely busted the audition, buttt i did score a segment on the news!!! it was a good time, pardon my appearance, i looked drastically different.

blue bottle- ashley franklin

lyrics-
once upon a time there lived a girl
who dreamed of a separate world
where words of woe were things that the average day didn’t hold
she sat beside a bottle
with her sorrows sinking slipping sipping all the last of her days
oh fair maiden sad, ill fated with far belated opportunity
wonder where the time has gone and failed attempts to move on
proceed with a bruised and battered, heartbeat

oh take heart
we are who they aren’t
shine as the star
and all you dream to be
ship your sorrows in a sealed bottle
forget about tomorrow
buried beneath the blue

in a far away place
there lived a girl without a trace or a memory of her former life
lists of deserted desires, without the warmth of fire, sticks and stones couldn’t start frigid to the bone
they planned it by the hour, pretty, pompous pretentious liars
stole her sense of self, her wealth in happiness
she held a mirror dear and hid from all near ears and fell into closest comfort zone
“they can take my home and the emotions of all i know, my spotlight, am i right? yes i know”
held an eye to her reflection, like she clung to her depression
two things no one could ever take away

thought we could all use something to laugh at:)
