CYCLONE
(Copyright Tanya Ransom)
I feel fragile like a cracked wine glass.
Only a matter of time before I hold my last.
My lips are stained red from the bottles of shiraz.
I lost count of the times you and I woke like that.
Everything is changing and it’s blowin’ like a cyclone.
It’s all turned to chaos and spinning out of control.
Everything is changing and it’s blowin' cyclone
I was dreaming of the past while laying with a new love.
He’s far from anything like you that I could think of.
This change feels better than any holiday.
I like it better than all of those cliches.
Everything is changing and it’s blowin’ like a cyclone.
It’s all turned to chaos and spinning out of control.
Everything is changing and it’s blowin’ like a cyclone.
It’s all turned to chaos and spinning out of control.
Would I fly across the world for you.
Would I want all the things that you want too.
Would I still feel like I used to.
Is our love strong enough to see this through.
To see this through.
Everything is changing and it’s blowing like a cyclone.
It’s all turned to chaos and spinning out of control.
Everything is changing and it’s blowing like a cyclone.
It’s all turned to chaos and spinning out of control.
Everything is changing
Everything is changing
Everything is changing
Everything is changing
Nothing ever stays the same
Nothing ever stays the same
Nothing ever stays the same
Nothing ever stays the same

BREAKDOWN TO BREAKTHROUGH
(copyright Tanya Ransom)
let your demons sleep
they’ve been keeping you awake
occupying your mind
taking up too much space
pull back the curtain
the darkness evades
so you can see clearly
the dawn of a new day
sometimes you gotta breakdown to breakthrough
when everything feels magnified
step out of your shadow into the light
sometimes you gotta breakdown to breakthrough
I know you’re fearful
and we all make mistakes
if you keep accepting shit
how are things ever gonna change
break down your constructs
of what you thought was right
it’s all mind over matter
when it’s you and yourself in a fist fight
sometimes you gotta breakdown to breakthrough
when everything feels magnified
step out of your shadow into the light
sometimes you gotta breakdown to breakthrough
don’t try to keep it all together
let it fall
fall apart
sometimes you gotta breakdown to breakthrough
sometimes you gotta breakdown to breakthrough
sometimes you gotta breakdown to breakthrough
sometimes you gotta breakdown to breakthrough

It’s Not Easy To Let Go
(copyright Tanya Ransom)
she floated on in with the easterly
x-wray of light piercing her eyes
one hand out the window
pushing back the wind
like the narrative that she left behind
it’s not easy to let go
She told me that she wasn’t running
She just needed to breath a little fresh air
Some time away from her home
And the past that bound her there
It's not easy to let go
It’s embed in her soul
From lives lived before she was born
She’s gonna break it
Don’t want to carry it on
she’s been pushing at the boundaries her whole life
like a flower growing in stone
the conditioning that runs through her blood
she’s now trying to disown
it’s not easy to let go
It’s embed in her soul
From lives lived before she was born
She’s gonna break it
Don’t want to carry it on
It’s embed in her soul
From lives lived before she was born
She’s gonna break it
Don’t want to carry it on
She’s the phoenix rising
The serpent shedding her skin
Suffering burnt to ashes
unlearning to begin
All the trauma and pain
Grief and regret
All the anger and heartache
Hurt and distress
It’s embed in her soul
From lives lived before she was born
She’s gonna break it
Don’t want to carry it on
It’s embed in her soul
From lives lived before she was born
She’s gonna break it
Don’t want to carry it on

ARMOUR
(copyright Tanya Ransom)
This armour is heavy
I don’t know how long I can hold this weight
It’s all covered in buttons
only a matter a time before they detonate
my fists clenched tight
my knuckles stone white
you can see a harsh glare in my eyes
even this armour cannot hide
I’m ready to fight
I’m ready to fight
This movie plays in my mind
of you and of I
Explosive tempers and smouldering rage
masks a deep feeling of pain
I’m ready to fight
I’m ready to fight
I’m ready to fight
you tonight
tonight
tonight
tonight
I’ll tear off this armour
you’ll see my wounds
I’ll forgive myself
before I forgive you
I’ll open my hands
to love and to trust
my heart will heal
I know I’m enough
I will end this fight
I will end this fight
I will end this fight
I will end this fight
tonight
tonight
tonight
tonight

You Can’t Undo Anything
(copyright Tanya Ransom)
where is the boy I used to love
kindest of souls that’d go beyond and above
the baby I held in my arms
dreaming of the man that you’d become
every action has its consequence in the end
you can’t undo anything
all the things you might regret you won’t forget
you can’t undo anything
I know life can feel unkind
I’ve been your age and I went through hard times
you might think you can’t see the end
you got to stop smoking and drinking to numb everything
every action has its consequence in the end
you can’t undo anything
all the things you might regret you won’t forget
you can’t undo anything
anything
anything
anything
It’s time you wake up and take up
responsibility
nobody ever liked or trusted
a liar and a thief
It’s time you wake up and take up
responsibility
nobody ever liked or trusted
a liar and a thief
every action has its consequence in the end
you can’t undo anything
all the things you might regret you won’t forget
you can’t undo anything
every action has its consequence in the end
you can’t undo anything
all the things you might regret you won’t forget
you can’t undo anything
Anything anything anything anything
