Hello,

If you're reading this insert it probably means you want to know where I get my inspiration for my music, musings and lyrics. I wrote this album two years ago, in the darkest time in my life. I probably don't have to remind you about all the things that went wrong. Still, amongst that chaos and uncertainty one thing remained certain: love.

I believe in love more than I believe in anything. I'm not just talking about romantic love either. Love can be platonic too. Love between friends, coworkers and family. Even on days where I didn't know if I could get out of bed, I had someone reminding me why I should. It was my passion for words that led to this album, my passion for describing love so sound that it can weather any storm.

I hope this album helps you get through any rough patch and you come out stronger. I hope you remember that real love can lighten up even the darkest of nights. I hope you never forget that real love shines golden, like starlight, and doesn't spontaneously combust or burst into flames. I hope, that no matter what happens to you, that you love fearlessly.

Yours,

Red

Track 1. So Good

Verse 1:

I've got my friends beside me

Not one of them would lie to me

They're not like you, liar

No, not like you

Chorus:

You think I need you, don't you?

Well that's no good darling

I'm so good, darling.

You think I miss you, don't you?

Jokes on you darling

Because I'm so good, darling.

I'm so good.

Verse 2:

And you call me dramatic

Making me react to you

Your lies were systematic

But I've caught on, liar

Now we're through

Chorus:

You think I need you, don't you?

Well that's no good darling

I'm so good, darling.

You think I miss you, don't you?

Jokes on you darling

Because I'm so good, darling.

I'm so good.

Bridge:

I've got my man

and let me tell you

he's so fine

I'm glad that he's all mine

And that's despite you

No, not to spite you

Chorus:

You think I need you, don't you?

Well that's no good, darling

I'm so good, darling.

You think I miss you, don't you?

Jokes on you darling

I'm so good, darling.

So good.

Track 2: Mine

Verse 1:

I've been falling for quite a while

You've spent quite some time in denial

You make the pain of living worthwhile

The last time we touched it felt like flying

And suddenly I don't feel like dying

Chorus:

So, call me yours, love

Say that you'll be mine

You're my poem

I'm your rhyme

Call me yours

All of me

For all of you

You're mine (repeat x's 3)

Verse 2:

With or without you

I'm dreaming of our debut

Long nights up in my bed

Nights where I'm turning bright red

And under you, I'm brand new

So, take me places I've never been too

Bridge:

You've got your scars and I've got mine

But baby, we have plenty of time

I'm a drifter, jumping states and it shows

That's not something you seem to oppose

Cause the only thing between us lately are clothes

Chorus:

So, call me yours, love

Say that you'll be mine

You're my poem

I'm your rhyme

Call me yours

All of me

For all of you

You're mine (repeat x's 3)

Track 3. Fine Art

Verse 1:

You've got one hand on my heart

The other is on my thigh

I need you baby

that's not a lie

Chorus:

I'm softly tracing every flawed curve

I can't believe Cupid had the nerve

I'm struck by his arrow

Straight through the heart.

You love me

And fuck me

I think you might be fine art

Verse 2:

I'll fall right in, I'm yours to trace.

Use your hands, memorize my face.

Your fingerprints taunt me

My cheeks, they're burning red.

I'm singing your name as we fall into bed

Chorus:

I'm softly tracing every flawed curve

I can't believe Cupid had the nerve

I'm struck by his arrow

Straight through the heart.

You love me

And fuck me

I think you might be fine art

Bridge:

Our hands intertwine as you start the dance.

Darling I'm coming undone; I'm lost in a trance.

Remember when I cried for you to never leave?

Remember when you forgot how to breathe?

We're broken into tiny little pieces

Two abstract masterpieces

End Chorus:

I'm softly tracing every flawed curve

(every indentation gives me a sensation)

I can't believe Cupid had the nerve

(love isn't a game)

I'm struck by his arrow

(Struck hard)

Straight through the heart.

You love me

And fuck me

I think you might be fine art

Track 4. Game of Love

Spoken:

How do you win this game?

Verse 1:

Just like his dad, he knew how to party

He was pro at making me feel sorry

It was almost like running a race

Only I knew I'd never win first place

Chorus:

I sang in the shower, it was mainly the blues

I met a new man, he was so handsome, it's true

He lit a match and I was the fuse

I fell in love, it's not that hard to do

Verse 2:

His charming grin hit me like lightening

I could feel my world slowly start brightening

It was almost like running in the same race

Hand in hand, he was keeping my pace

Chorus:

I sang in the shower, it was mainly the blues

I met a new man, he was so handsome, it's true

He lit a match and I was the fuse

I fell in love, it's not that hard to do

Spoken:

In this story, we both win to lose.

Track 5. Play God

I want to play God

Not to walk on water

Or be a martyr

I've lost a lot

He's lost even more

Chorus:

Why do heroes have to lose?

Why does God always get to choose?

We're both praying, not even religious

Calling each other fearless

Standing on either side of the door

I know I can't stop the world from turning

or make it reverse

but I wish that I could play God for once

Verse 2:

I'd give my father back my mother

I'd give him back his brother

The inside of my mind is a Black Sea

He's battered from waves I'll never see

Chorus:

Why do heroes have to lose?

Why does God always get to choose?

We're both praying, not even religious

Calling each other fearless

Standing on either side of the door

I know I can't stop the world from turning

or make it reverse

but I wish that I could play God for once

Bridge:

I'll play God

I'll change fate

Bring back the dead

Erase the screaming in your head

Chorus:

Why do heroes have to lose?

Why does God always get to choose?

We're both praying, not even religious

Calling each other fearless

Standing on either side of the door

Track 6. Fearlessly Red

Opening verse:

I'm a paper doll all taped together

You're a beautiful mosaic of broken parts, forever

Your smiles got me believing

Your love stops the bleeding

I'm fearlessly yours, Red

Verse 1:

I'm half-dressed, waiting at your door

You lead me to the kitchen, socks sliding on the kitchen floor

I don't know how to tell you that I want more

But every time I look at you, my heart soars.

Chorus:

The bombs went off and they're taking a toll

I can feel the fire forming down deep in my soul

Just one look and I'm like, woah

Every touch of your hand has me aglow

I'm begging you, don't let me go

Verse 2:

I can't even walk without having to fall

You always catch me, answering my call

I wish we could start over with a clean slate

But I know it's just too little, too late.

Chorus:

The bombs went off and they're taking a toll

I can feel the fire forming down deep in my soul

Just one look and I'm like, woah

Every touch of your hand has me aglow

I'm begging you, don't let me go

Ending verse:

I'm a paper doll all taped together

You're a beautiful mosaic of broken parts, forever

I'm fearlessly yours, Red

Track 7. Dear Remus

Opening (spoken by James Potter):

Dear Remus,

It's impossible to describe the way she makes me feel. Isn't that strange? Normally, I never shut up. I could write a book on how she brightens the worst of days, but I also don't think there are enough words in the human language to describe how I feel when I look at her. Except maybe, I love her.

Verse 1:

He spent a lot of time pacing

Wearing a hole in that tile floor

He's waiting for you to appear

It's hard saying goodbye

When all he wants is another hello

But he lived

And you're lying ten feet under

Chorus:

Dear Remus

I miss us

Tell me why Death chose you as the sacrifice in war

I was standing there too, your equal

Wouldn't it be nice, if we'd both gone together?

But then I wouldn't have met her.

Verse 2:

I waltzed in, a poster child of success

Grammys, fans and private jets

I had the world at my fingertips

And I sang the same song as him

Broken, lonely, beautiful and tragic

We fell in love

It was just like magic

Chorus:

Dear Remus

I miss us

Tell me why Death chose you as the sacrifice in war

I was standing there too

Wouldn't it be nice, if we'd both gone together?

But then I wouldn't have met her.

Bridge:

We met each other in the heat of the summer

I had some demons

He had your ghost

Despite it all

We loved the most

End Verse:

Can you forgive him for choosing life over death?

Do your parents hate him for every single breath?

Will he ever forgive himself for failing you?

Thank God you didn't go together

Because then he wouldn't be mine forever.

Track 8: Stronger

Verse 1:

They told me I couldn't have what I wanted

Like I haven't fought for everything I've gotten

I made all my money, my riches, my power

I'm tired of being treated like some decorative wallflower

I won the lottery at only fifteen

And I know what they're all thinking.

They say:

"Well, she's a little young to know what she wants"

And that's the kind of shit that earns my lyrical response

Chorus:

I deserve what I want

I want what I get

I'll climb every mountain

I'll work up a sweat

I'll be the champion

And I will be stronger

I refuse to bow down

I'm silent no longer

Verse 2:

My loft is covered in hand-painted frames

My man never calls me by my real name

Sometimes, still, I worry I'll lose James

But he's not into Hollywood's cruel games

I guess after war, Hollywood feels tame

Bridge:

And I'm not saying some man saved me

Or put my name on the golden marquis

Though, there are some people who'd disagree

But the only one who can set you free

Is the one who has the golden key

And honey, all along, that key was me.

Chorus:

I deserve what I want

I want what I get

I'll climb every mountain

I'll work up a sweat

I'll be the champion

And I will be stronger

I refuse to bow down

I'm silent no longer

Track 9: Listen.

Please, you gotta stop stalling

Save me

I keep free falling

Catch me

Call me dramatic

Tease me

For you, I'm insomniatic

Now watch me

Babe I'm one of a kind

You know me

I'm all poems and rhymes

So trust me

I'm no waste of time.

Believe me

You're my partner in crime

Now kiss me

If you'd be so inclined

Just love me

Say that you're mine

Track 10: Contradiction

Verse 1:

I thought I wanted to be alone

Then you sat next to me

I thought I'd never laugh again

Then you had me laughing over my cup of Ramen

I thought I'd never make it out of the dark

Then, with both hands, you led me back into the light

Chorus:

I thought a lot of things before I met you

Now I feel like a love-struck fool

You're such a contradiction

A literal work of fiction

No confliction

I can't stop this romantic friction

Verse 2:

I thought I'd never fall in love

But your body fit to mine like a glove

I thought I'd never step away from fame

And then you called my name

Bridge:

Swear you're my best contradiction

Got me hot and sweaty like a sickness

My favorite nighttime affliction

My one and only,

My healthy addiction

Chorus:

I thought a lot of things before I met you

Now I feel like a love-struck fool

You're such a contradiction

A literal work of fiction

No confliction

I can't stop this romantic friction

Track 11: Shakespeare in Love

Verse 1:

He asked me once

"Will our love story be just as tragic as Romeo and Juliet?"

I don't think I could ever forget

We kissed all night

We danced all day

I thought there was no way we'd be a tragedy.

Chorus:

That's what Shakespeare calls irony

Makes his tragedies glimmer with originality

There was irony in every bit of our life

And that's the comedy of it all

But where's my midsummers night dream?

Laying with him on the blood-soaked floor

I didn't want to be Shakespeare in love

Verse 2:

I've always been a fan of rom-coms

Just wanna live in Twelfth Night

Not scrubbing off blood from a gun fight

Tired of the tragedy

Tell Juliet she can take back her balcony

Chorus:

That's what Shakespeare calls irony

Makes his tragedies glimmer with originality

There was irony in every bit of our life

And that's the comedy of it all

But where's my midsummers night dream?

Laying with him on the blood-soaked floor

I didn't want to be Shakespeare in love

Track 12: Race

Verse 1:

It starts with racing hearts

Oh yeah, hot and heavy

Filled with lust

Arguably deadly

You can see it on my face

I'm ready

Daring you to race me

Chorus:

We're running at the same pace

We're aiming for a good time

No matter the place

I love the finish line but fuck, he's better at the race

Verse 2:

A few weeks later, we were still as high as space

With every stroke of midnight, I am falling from grace

There are just certain feelings that time cannot erase

I've got a white dress, all covered in lace

It's waiting in my closet just in case

Chorus:

We're running at the same pace

We're aiming for a good time

No matter the place

I love the finish line but fuck, he's better at the race

Track 13: Happily Ever Something

Verse 1:

The villain took the shot without a hint of regret

She still can't believe a gun almost killed her best duet

She wondered, if she ran, how far could they get?

How long can they navigate the bumpy seas?

She's looking for answers, she's down on her knees

Chorus:

So many tidal waves ripped through her heart

She was worried they might tear them apart

Then he laughed and for a moment the pain lifted

With one smile her whole world shifted

It was wasn't happily ever after

But it was happily ever something.

Verse 2:

And how will she tread the waves growing tall?

Especially when she feels so very small

How will she fix the girl in the mirror?

She's just trying to make the reflection in the mirror grow clearer

Chorus:

So many tidal waves ripped through her heart

She was worried they might tear them apart

Then he laughed and for a moment the pain lifted

With one smile her whole world shifted

It was wasn't happily ever after

But it was happily ever something..

Verse 3:

But how does she stop the storm coming though?

It's clouding her world and making it blue.

She's looking for the lighthouse in the stormy sea

It's hard to see any light with the surrounding debris

Chorus:

So many tidal waves ripped through her heart

She was worried they might tear them apart

Then he laughed and for a moment the pain lifted

With one smile her whole world shifted

It was wasn't happily ever after

But it was happily ever something.
