LIGHTNING STRIKES ALBUM:

I grew up in a shadow aside a burning candle

Everybody looked at me like i was next in line

They said i’ve got potential to turn out someone special

All i’ve got to do is walk and talk to their design

I learned the choreography

Daddy was so proud of me

Dancing in the role of everything they wanted me to be

First it felt like fun to me 

Then the shine wore off for me

Now i’m suffocating through a hesitating smile

Sad girl in a mad world

Gotta hold that head high

Sad girl in a mad world

There’s a rumble in my bones, hear the thunder grow closer

Pink and purple in the sky, feel the air get colder

Seeing lightning in my mind

Feel the anger grow, can it be tame much longer?

There’s a tension in the air, watch the show from the window

Lightning strikes 

Boom boom boom

Flash, boom

Boom boom boom

I grew into an echo

Reflecting every memo

Of every expectation that was held above my head

Longing for connection

For somebody to see in

Homesick for a family that doesn’t actually exist

Sad soul in a black hole

Trying to hold that head high

Sad soul in a black hole

There’s a rumble in my bones, hear the thunder grow closer

Pink and purple in the sky, feel the air get colder

Seeing lightning in my mind

Feel the anger grow, can it be tame much longer?

There’s a tension in the air, watch the show from the window

Lightning strikes 

Boom boom boom

Flash, boom

Boom boom boom

Hear the thunder grow closer

Flash, boom (Ah)

Boom boom boom

Can i be tame much longer

Flash, boom

Boom boom boom

Flash, boom

There’s a rumble in my bones, hear the thunder grow closer (closer, closer, closer)

Pink and purple in the sky, feel the air get colder (colder)

Seeing lightning in my mind

Feel the anger grow, can it be tamed much longer?

There’s a tension in the air, watch the show from the window (Oh, oh)

Lightning strikes 

Boom boom boom

Flash, boom

Boom boom boom

Flash, boom

Ah, ah, ah, ah

(Reow)

Ah, ah, ah, ah

I love a little healthy competition

I love to see a person with ambition

But the way you want to play is something different

Kicking up the dirt

Trying to see if something sticks

Like, I don’t wanna, wanna hurt you so just

Stand to the side, stand to the side, thank you

I don’t wanna, wanna hurt you so just stop

From your eyes I might

I might be the villain

From your eyes I might

I might be the villain

Are you scared? 

Are you scared of me? 

Or who I’m gonna be?

Well, it’s time I take it up a level

Ah, ah, ah, ah

It’s like you want to rise up like a phoenix

Burning people down is quite strategic

You’re trying to get the upper advantage

But your reputation’s lost in collateral damage

Well, take another shot from the side

I don’t mind

If it helps, I can turn

You can slap the other side

I’m a sentimental being

You only make me tired

Tell me that I disappoint you

It will make me smile

I spent my whole youth

Trying to be someone 

Who made everybody else feel good

The moment that I put myself first

Now you act like I’m the worst (Ha)

Do you believe that though?

Cause I don’t wanna, wanna hurt you so just

Stand to the side, stand to the side, thank you

I don’t wanna, wanna hurt you so just stop

From your eyes I might

I might be the villain

From your eyes I might

I might be the villain

Are you scared? 

Are you scared of me? 

Or who I’m gonna be?

Well, whatever

Walk your own path

Leaving all your muddy footsteps behind you

I’m not gonna waste a second of my time on you

Even though you’re blaming me

When karma comes for you

Ah, ah

Whatever

Walk your own path

Leaving all your bloody footsteps behind you

I’m not gonna waste a second of my time on you

Even though you’re blaming me

When karma comes for you

Ah, ah, ah

Are you scared? 

Are you scared of me? 

Or who I’m gonna be?

Well, it’s time I take it up a level

It’s like I’m in a lucid dream

And I can see the world in front of me

My past is floating all around like a cloud

It’s been dragging me down

I can lay it all out now

I’m in the eye of the storm

And I can feel a power charging me

Like there is something big inside of me

A spark igniting in my soul, and I think that it’s about to explode

And there in the light

I can taste a different life

And I’m pulled to the vision of an interstellar high

There’s a whisper and I think they’re asking me to decide

If I want to take the ride

And nothings ever felt so right

Nothings ever felt so right

Travelling at the speed of light

A visionary state of mind

And nothing’s ever felt so right

I took a bite and now I’m hooked

We get a chance to make a legacy

It’s not a choice it is a destiny

I’ve been living off the crumbs

but the drums

oxygen within my lungs

And there in the light

I can taste a different life

And I’m pulled to the vision of an interstellar high

There’s a whisper and I think they’re asking me to decide

If I want to take the ride

And nothings ever felt so right

Nothings ever felt so right

Travelling at the speed of light

A visionary state of mind

And nothing’s ever felt so right

So right, So right

And nothing’s ever felt so right

So right, So right

Buckle up now, cause it’s time to depart

And the GPS has got us headed straight for the stars

Throwing everything at it

I’m not being dramatic 

I’m not missing out on living life as intergalactic

Buckle up now, cause it’s time to depart

And the GPS has got us headed straight for the stars

Throwing everything at it

Im not being dramatic

I’m not missing out on living life as intergalactic

Cause nothings ever felt so right

Nothings ever felt so right

Travelling at the speed of light

A visionary state of mind

And nothing’s ever felt

So, so, so right

So, so, so right

So, so, so right

So, so

And nothing’s ever felt so right

There’s nothing like a mystery

To get the people whispering loud

A melodrama’s glittery

And shiny things attract a crowd

‘Cause drama’s got an energy

It helps you feel alive

You bond against the enemy

Even if it’s all a lie

Do you get lonely in this masquerade?

Of all the pretty people playing ugly games?

You had dreams to make a change

But jealousy’s contagious once you’re in the game

Secrets and beauty (just like a movie)

Battling it out to wear the crown

Gossip and rumours (mask it with humour)

Joining in the masquerade of pretty people

There’s nothing like a tragedy

To get the people saying your name

You make your own catastrophes

I think it’s just a god damn shame

‘Cause drama’s electricity 

Like lightning in the rain

The ones who called you family

You sacrifice to win the game

Do you get lonely in this masquerade?

Of all the pretty people playing ugly games?

You had dreams to make a change

But jealousy’s contagious once you’re in the game

Secrets and beauty (just like a movie)

Battling it out to wear the crown

Gossip and rumours (mask it with humour)

Joining in the masquerade of pretty people

Do you ever stop and think is it all worthwhile?

To keep your spotlight shining with your wildfire

‘Cause I’d get pretty tired of mosaic smiles

Burning all your bridges just to be admired

Do you get tired?

Or is it all worthwhile, to be admired?

Or do you get lonely in this masquerade?

Of all the pretty people playing ugly games?

You had dreams to make a change

But jealousy’s a poison and it’s in your veins

Secrets and beauty (just like a movie)

Sacrifice it all to wear the crown

Gossip and rumours (mask it with humour)

Joining in the masquerade of pretty people

Lying to yourself and claim it’s not that lethal

Dying in the masquerade of pretty people

Hold on, stop

Are you serious?

Cause what just came out of your mouth is just ridiculous

Is that a joke or are you actually delirious? 

(What the hell is going on?)

Right, that is interesting

Everything you say is cancelled out with reasoning

But it's clear that you're not interested in listening

(What the hell is going on?)

Came across just to say hello

I don't like where this is going though

Oh man, better get ya popcorn

Cause I accidentally walked into a shitstorm

What the hell is going on? 

What the hell is going on? 

What the hell is going on? 

What the hell is going on?

Wow, I gotta take a sec

You keep talking, are you ever gonna take a breath? 

And it’s getting kind of personal it’s awkward

(What the hell is going on?)

Came across just to say hello

Didn’t realise what I signed up for

Hey, remember when I asked for your opinion?

Yeah… me neither

What the hell is going on? 

What the hell is going on? 

What the hell is going on? 

What the hell is going on?

Living online has made reality a spectator sport

Suddenly they're picking teams and started taking the score

They're taking cheap shots and declaring that they are winning the war

(The war?)

And the facts?

(Fake news…)

What the hell

What the hell is going on

I mean, seriously

What I wear, who I am, who I love

Tell me what’s your problem?

If it’s they / them / he or she

Actually don’t tell me your problems

stop talking

What the hell is going on? 

What the hell is going on?

What the hell is going on?

What the hell is going on?

A lot of disapproving stares (What the hell is going on?)

Since I got pink hair (What the hell is going on?)

Wow, Kitty Rae, God you’ve changed 

I liked you better blonde and tamed

Born into trauma

Raised by reality

My best friend is karma

They always take care of me

Oh, you think I don’t know

Well, now I do

Roses are red

Violets are blue

I’m feeling seasick just thinking of you

Out in the deep

Storm in the sky

Soothing me with all your lullaby lies

If we’re the ocean

You are the tide

Pulling me sideways I’m losing my mind

I was so dazed in chasing the spark

Suddenly realised it’s dark

(Oh, shh…)

I missed the Asterix

Sucked in by the fancy print

I told you once and I’ll tell you again

I never want to see you again

(Oh, shh…)

I missed the Asterix

Sucked in by the fancy print

I told you once and I’ll tell you again

I never want to see you again

I told you secrets

And treated you second to none

You let it echo

You let it burn through everyone

There is lesson

It hurts but it’s burned in my skin

People will smile

They’ll hold your hand

Careful believing they’re really a friend

(Oh, shh…)

I missed the Asterix

Sucked in by the fancy print

I told you once and I’ll tell you again

I never want to see you again

(Oh, shh…)

I missed the Asterix

Sucked in by the fancy print

I told you once and I’ll tell you again

I never want to see you again

Don’t you think that the world is hard enough

Without you pulling your tricks

Playing politics

Funny how you’re using my name

Using my name

To further your game

Like I wouldn’t tell them to stay away

(Oh, shh…)

I missed the Asterix (Damn)

Sucked in by the fancy print (Sucked in)

I told you once and I’ll tell you again

I never want to see you again

(Oh, shh…)

I missed the Asterix

Sucked in by the fancy print

I told you once and I’ll tell you again

I never want to see you again

Thinking about what they said

On repeat in my head

Got a cold cup of tea by my bed

Guess I’m not at my best

Thinking about what they said

On repeat in my head

Guess I turned out a little different

But I’m trying my best

Typically now I think of all the things that I should’ve said

Instead I smiled and looked at the floor

Trying my best to be true to myself but see truth is perceptive how do I make sure

That I’m doing the right thing cause right now I’m spiralling and it’s not pretty or helpful at all

But honestly people lack empathy and I am tired of carrying it all

I, I’m overthinking it

I’m overthinking it

Oh, can’t stop

Cannot turn it off

I, I’m overthinking it

I’m overthinking it

Oh, can’t stop

Cannot turn it off

Here comes the pain in my chest

Slow on detecting I’m stressed

So I lose touch with all of my friends

I’m probably a burden on them

And I know that my room is a mess

Guess I’m not doing my best

Always wanted to be a good friend

But it’s not natural for me

I am like, always

Over emotional

Caught up in replays of old conversations

Analysis from every angle

I just want to do the right thing

For people to like me and love what I sing

But there’s a reason that life is political 

There are always at least two strong opinions

Some people will love you

Some people hate you

Some just feel trapped and in turn want to cage you

I, I’m overthinking it

I’m overthinking it

Oh, can’t stop

Cannot turn it off

I, I’m overthinking it

I’m overthinking it

Oh, can’t stop

Cannot turn it off

I’m overthinking all of my overthinking

And now I’m over thinking about my overthinking

Cause I

I’m overthinking all of my overthinking

And now I’m over thinking about my overthinking

God

I, I’m overthinking it

I’m overthinking it

Oh, can’t stop

Cannot turn it off

I, I’m overthinking it

I’m overthinking it

Oh, can’t stop

Cannot turn it off

I, I’m overthinking it (I was thinking about what they said)

I’m overthinking it (I was thinking about what they said)

Oh, can’t stop 

Cannot turn it off

I, I’m overthinking it (Always wanted to be a good friend)

I’m overthinking it (But I’m stuck all alone in my head)

Oh, can’t stop

Cannot turn it off

I’m overthinking all of my overthinking and now (I’m overthinking it, I’m overthinking it)

I’m over thinking about my overthinking (I’m overthinking it, I’m overthinking it)

You hear the blues

And it reminds you of the deep sea

And what it would be like to drown

You speak to me

Like a heavily weighted whisper

And I find myself crumbling down

I could be sad forever

I can’t cut you from my life

I could be sad forever 

I can’t let you go

Even if I tried

You stick with me

And in a crowd full of people

You constantly hold me back

Like there’s a world I don’t deserve

You frustrate me

And I try to move on

Try to stand on my own two feet

But you leave no room to breathe

I could be sad forever

I can’t cut you from my life

I could be sad forever 

I can’t let you go

Even if I tried

People they don’t see the struggle

Dulling all my shine

I will always smile and then 

Tell them that I’m fine

I could be sad forever

I can’t cut you from my life

I could be sad forever 

I can’t let you go

Let me go

I could be sad forever

I can’t cut you from my life

I could be sad forever 

I can’t let you go

Even if I tried (I could be sad forever)

Even if I tried (I could be sad forever)

Oh I know I tried (I could be sad forever)

I tried, I tried (I could be sad forever)

Oh I know I tried

I take a picture so i can 

Look back upon the moments

In the silence

When i have been feeling pretty low

Cause these photos are proof

That there has been a happy state of mind

Once upon a time

A girl was questioning the world

But the more she saw

The more her mind unfurled

And she tried to spread the word

But no one really heard

All I’ve ever tried to be

Is someone that you’d like to meet

I’m fraying at the seams

I’m dying in my dreams

It’s a lovely day today

But i wish i could hide away

It’s harder than it seems

Living

I had an album of photos

But typically, I’ve lost it

I’ve been searching to find it

It makes me feel frustrated

Cause i swear that I left in the drawer

In the cupboard of my room

Now i’ve been thinking in spirals

Maybe be i’m denial

But my mind is an artist

It fills me with delusions 

So i’m struggling to see what is literal, imagined or a dream

All I’ve ever tried to be

Is someone that you’d like to meet

I’m fraying at the seams

I’m dying in my dreams

It’s a lovely day today

But i wish i could hide away

It’s harder than it seems

Living

Photographs and happy scenes

Distortions of reality

I’m tired of trying to be

A greater side of me

It’s a lovely day today

But i just want to hide away

It’s harder than it seems

Living

God, it got so dark in here

Like they turned off all the lights

Forgot that I was here

No one came around for days

I didn’t make a sound

God, it got so cold in here

So cold I couldn’t move

Could barely lift my head

No one came around for days

I didn’t make a sound

Can you hear me? 

Can you hear me now?

I’m sick of being sad

I let myself dwell in this shitty situation but I’m done

I’ll make a comeback

And I’ll show myself

I’m stronger than I ever thought I was

Once, I fell and I went down

That was then, I’m stronger now

Everybody seems to have a moment where they turn themselves around

And mine’s right now

Demons seem to hate fresh air

So I’m cracking through the windows, breaking down the door

No one came to save the day

But I don’t need that now

‘Cause I am seeing clearly now

I’m taking back control

I’m standing as the walls come crashing down

Watch out, I’m back to take my crown

Can you see me?

Can you see me now?

I’m sick of being sad

I let myself dwell in this shitty situation but I’m done

I’ll make a comeback

And I’ll show myself

I’m stronger than I ever thought I was

Once, I fell and I went down

That was then, I’m stronger now

Everybody seems to have a moment where they turn themselves around

And mine’s right now, right now

Mine’s right now, right now

Mine’s right now, right now

Mine’s right now, right now

Oh, I’m sick of all these heavy feelings

(All these heavy feelings)

Tonight I’m gonna face my demons

(Oh those pesky demons)

I’m letting go of deeper meaning

(Does it really matter, anyway?)

I’m sick of all these heavy feelings

I want to feel alive

I’m sick of being sad

I let myself dwell in this shitty situation but I’m done

I’ll make a comeback

And I’ll show myself

I’m stronger than I ever thought I was

Once, I fell and I went down

That was then, I’m stronger now

Everybody seems to have a moment where they turn themselves around

And mine’s right now, right now

Mine’s right now, right now

Mine’s right now, right now

Mine’s right now, right now

Mine’s right now, right now

Kitty Rae - Sick of Being Sad Lyrics (Clean)

God, it got so dark in here

Like they turned off all the lights

Forgot that I was here

No one came around for days

I didn’t make a sound

God, it got so cold in here

So cold I couldn’t move

Could barely lift my head

No one came around for days

I didn’t make a sound

Can you hear me? 

Can you hear me now?

I’m sick of being sad

I let myself dwell in this silly situation but I’m done

I’ll make a comeback

And I’ll show myself

I’m stronger than I ever thought I was

Once, I fell and I went down

That was then, I’m stronger now

Everybody seems to have a moment where they turn themselves around

And mine’s right now

Demons seem to hate fresh air

So I’m cracking through the windows, breaking down the door

No one came to save the day

But I don’t need that now

‘Cause I am seeing clearly now

I’m taking back control

I’m standing as the walls come crashing down

Watch out, I’m back to take my crown

Can you see me?

Can you see me now?

I’m sick of being sad

I let myself dwell in this silly situation but I’m done

I’ll make a comeback

And I’ll show myself

I’m stronger than I ever thought I was

Once, I fell and I went down

That was then, I’m stronger now

Everybody seems to have a moment where they turn themselves around

And mine’s right now, right now

Mine’s right now, right now

Mine’s right now, right now

Mine’s right now, right now

Oh, I’m sick of all these heavy feelings

(All these heavy feelings)

Tonight I’m gonna face my demons

(Oh those pesky demons)

I’m letting go of deeper meaning

(Does it really matter, anyway?)

I’m sick of all these heavy feelings

I want to feel alive

I’m sick of being sad

I let myself dwell in this silly situation but I’m done

I’ll make a comeback

And I’ll show myself

I’m stronger than I ever thought I was

Once, I fell and I went down

That was then, I’m stronger now

Everybody seems to have a moment where they turn themselves around

And mine’s right now, right now

Mine’s right now, right now

Mine’s right now, right now

Mine’s right now, right now

Mine’s right now, right now
