Track Name: Spellbound
©Iman Hariri-Kia 2012

I'm still a child in my own home
I still dress up with nowhere to go
But i don't have, imaginary friends
So i use the few i've got, to play pretend

But i like it better in my mind
I don't want to go out and find myself
To say it to your face

But did i forget to tell you
That in my head i made you mine
Did i neglect to mention
That im spell bound i've left this world behind
Left this world behind
Frozen in your time

They say when you get old, you grow wise
So explain the redness of my eyes
If i had choice, i would never age
For centuries, i'd speak about today

But i know even vampires grow tired
Every time they say goodbye
But i am frozen in your time

But did i forget to tell you
That in my head i made you mine
Did i neglect to mention
That im spell bound i've left this world behind
Left this world behind
Frozen in your time

Life is short but you're my portal out
Your love makes me immortal
Life is short but you're my portal out
Your love makes me immortal

But did i forget to tell you
That in my head i made you mine
Did i neglect to mention
That im spell bound i've left this world behind
Left this world behind
Frozen in your time
Left this world behind
Frozen in your time

You're nothing special
but neither am i
The hardest thing i've ever had to do was
Tell you goodbye
Now one year later you still send shivers
Down my spine

And I don't believe in love
But you are the closest thing
That i've ever known

So i'm sorry
I'm not worth the worry
I just want to be with you
On nights like these
And its raining
In southern california
But tonight the stars spell out your name
The stars spell out your name

You said I made you blush whenever i smiled
Now all you can do is roll your eyes
And you're the one with the smoking gun
But i'll still apologize

And i know i'm not enough
so i'll raise a glass and drink
From the devils cup

But i'm sorry
I'm not worth the worry
I just want to be with you
On nights like these
And its raining
In southern california
But tonight the stars spell out your name

And i know that we've ran out of time
Cuz you are starting a whole new life
If you ever question who you are
You were the first to make me cry

So i'm sorry
All i do is worry
I just want to be with you on nights like these
And its raining in southern california
But tonight the stars spell out you and me

So i'm sorry
I'm not worth the worry
I just want to be with you
Only you
And its raining
In southern california
But tonight the stars spell out your name
And thats never gonna change
Track Name: Disclaimer (I will Rise)
©Iman Hariri-Kia 2012

I'm sorry for my misdemeanor
I don't mean to be acting out
Anxiety's all i'm achieving
And my silence is screechingly loud

But you don't need
A dose of reality
Because train wrecks
Discourage you to get on

So i want to thank you for making me tougher
For nailing my feet to the ground
I saw sanity in those that suffer
And made peace with all that i found
So i will rise, i will rise, i will rise
Because gravity can't bring me down
Gravity can't bring me down

Remember the time that i gave up
I'm sorry that you saw me cry
But you forced me to stick my chin up
By staring me dead in the eyes

You said you just need
A dose of reality
Because train wrecks
Discourage you to move on

So i want to thank you for making me tougher
For nailing my feet to the ground
I saw sanity in those that suffer
And made peace with all that i found
So i will rise, i will rise, i will rise
Because gravity can't bring me down
Gravity can't bring me down

And i know that you think
That i'm full of loose ends
that never can be tied
But i swear to god
If you give me a chance
I'll keep all my kinks inside

So i want to thank you for making me tougher
For nailing my feet to the ground
I saw sanity in those that suffer
And made peace with all that i found
So i will rise, i will rise, i will rise
I will rise, I will rise, I will rise

Because gravity can't bring me down
Gravity can't bring me down
No gravity can't bring me down
My feet can't reach solid ground
Track Name: Remedy
©Iman Hariri-Kia 2012

Its funny how you know the truth
But you can't really see
They say if you love something
Then you should set it free
Well i know my illness is
Just a state of mind
But something tells me this time
I won't be fine

So will you be my remedy
Because your words are the healing herbs
That could save me
Will you be my remedy
Put me in a trance
Cuz i don't stand a chance
Without somebody
Somebody

Apparently love is bling
So we're all bound to fall
Maybe if i had mine
I'd be walking into walls
But i don't want to wait around
With you in the meanwhile
Is it too much to ask
For someone that can make me smile

So will you be my remedy
Because your words are the healing herbs
That could save me
Will you be my remedy
Put me in a trance
Cuz i don't stand a chance
Without somebody

You don't know how far i'd go
To wake up from this sleep
Sail across oceans, just find me a potion
Home made remedy,

So please help me
To feel, again

Please be my remedy
Because your words are the healing herbs
That could save me
Will you be my remedy
Put me in a trance
Cuz i don't stand a chance
Without somebody

Somebody
To quicken up my heart beat
Track Name: Take the Reigns
©Iman Hariri-Kia 2012

I would call you a mistake
If i hadn't used all of mine up
But now i'm nothing but afraid
And my directions not enough

So take the reigns
Cuz i don't know where i'm going
The road is closing in
But i forgot to turn
So take the reigns
Because my hands are shaking
And i'm losing my grip
At the tips of my fingers
When will i learn
To hold on

And i am a frazzled mind
I just live in my limitations
Now aimlessly i drag behind
Wasting time on revelations

So take the reigns
Cuz i don't know where i'm going
The road is closing in
But i forgot to turn
So take the reigns
Because my hands are shaking
And i'm losing my grip
At the tips of my fingers
When will i learn
To hold on

To hold on
Tightly

And i'm tired of making up my own mind
Of following rules and pausing at stop signs
I want to rest my feet, recline

So take the reigns
Cuz i don't know where i'm going
The road is closing in
But i forgot to turn
So take the reigns
Because my hands are shaking
And i'm losing my grip
At the tips of my fingers
When will i learn

So take the reigns
Because my hands are shaking
And i'm losing my grip
At the tips of my fingers
When will i learn
So take the reigns
Cuz i don't know where i'm going
The road is closing in
But i forgot to turn

When will I learn
When will I learn
Track Name: The Ground
©Iman Hariri-Kia 2012

Its not you i want
I just want to be wanted
And i just need someone to need me
The end began when we just got started

We all fall so hard
When things fall apart

Its like lighting a fire
And then putting the flame out
Like laughing for hours
Then forgetting what about
And you lifted me higher
So i never wanted to come down
But just in time i found
The ground

I'm all caught up in time
But i lose myself in dimensions
When getting older was a crime
I can't escape your intentions

We all fall so hard
When things fall apart
When dusk turns to dark
Its like

Its like lighting a fire
And then putting the flame out
Like laughing for hours
Then forgetting what about
And you lifted me higher
So i never wanted to come down
But just in time i found
The ground

Broken bones will never phase me
When i fall, i fall for you
The further off the ground you raise me
The better i come through

Its like lighting a fire
And then putting the flame out
Like laughing for hours
Then forgetting what about
And you lifted me higher
So i never wanted to come down
But just in time i found
The ground

Its like lighting a fire
And then putting the flame out
Like laughing for hours
Then forgetting what about
And you lifted me higher
So i never wanted to come down
But just in time i found
The ground

Just in time i found the ground
