Dare
(Lyrics by Sarah Chapman)
I’ve had enough friends
Who hold me close but never let me in
Who hold on tight, to feel all right
But can’t see their own light
The kind who need to be kissed
So they know they exist
Intimacy a point somehow missed
Don’t get too real
Don’t dare to feel
Just keep it fun
Or they might run
Run baby run
So hold me tightly at an arm’s length
Time was I’d happily lean on that strength
Safe in your grip, till it starts to slip
Time for a backflip
See I’m not your broken hearted friend
Put myself together again
So hold me close, but don’t let me in
Don’t get too real
Don’t dare to feel
Just keep it fun
Or I might run
Run baby run
But if you crawl inside
To where my love hides
Maybe then we can start
If you open your heart
And feel something real
Be real and feel
Be real and fucking feel
Give me the keys
I’m on my knees
Just let me in baby
Let’s begin
Come on let’s get real
I dare you to feel
Come on and feel
Feel something real
I dare you to feel

Sticky Sweet- Original by Sarah Chapman
I really want to call you now, but the sun should be up soon…
So I'd better stick to writing, at least till after noon.
Crushin' like a bad habit, don't know what to do...
Sucker for those white rabbits, and so I'm stuck on you.
Haunted by your memory... and the rhythms that we shared.
Taste of magic... could have been, such a gooey pair.
There's something Sticky in your Sweetness
So take me now, I think I need this
There's something Sticky in your Sweetness
So take me now, I think I need this
With all the mixed signals, I should really get off this train
You know it's a fools errand, calling your name in vain
You'll run me round in circles, or head on we'll collide,
But tell me dear, do you still want inside?
You say that you miss me, But you don't kiss me,
You say that you miss me, But you won't come and kiss me...
There's something Sticky in your Sweetness
So take me now, I think I need this
There's something Sticky in your Sweetness
So take me now, I think I need this
I haven't craved someone in a long long time...
Was it crazy, wanting to call you mine?
Oh did my hunger scare you? Afraid to quench my thirst
Just tease me and leave me, it's ok, you're not the first.
But a few months later, I still think of you...
The easy way we were together, like everything was new.
So take me now, I think I need this
There's something Sticky in your Sweetness
What to do, I'm stuck on you...
There's something sticky, in your sweetness
There's something sticky, in your sweetness
There's something sticky, in your sweetness

Frenemies

I’m going down down down
Far away from you all
I’m going round round round
About the best way to fall
Out of this crowd
It’s gotten too loud
Full of bitter secrets
And Idle regrets
With friends like these
Who needs enemies
With friends like these
Who the fuck needs enemies
So I’m going down down down
Far away from you all
I’m going round round round
About the best way to fall
It’s not about the beers
I just tend to leer at
Clowns hiding tears
And I don’t want to sing for you anymore
Especially not when you treat me like such a chore
So I’m going down down down, down down
Going round round round, round round
So I’m going down down down, down down down
Going round round round, round round round
I’m going down down down, down down down
Going round round round
and round round round
I’m going down down down
Far away from you all
I’m going round round round
About the best way to fall
Out of this crowd
It’s gotten too loud
Full of bitter secrets
And Idle regrets
With friends like these
Who needs enemies
With friends like these
Who the fuck needs enemies

Rise Above- original song by Sarah Chapman
I got your love on a loop
Like a record on repeat
And it’s been playing non stop for a couple weeks
Not sure how to mix it, with all these other feelings
This potion is strong, emotions are reeling
Time to pause, take a breath,
turn down the flame, and see what’s left…
Who are you, when you’re not revelling in our love?
What other kinds of beauty help you rise above?
All the mundane monotony and sideways botany…
Of a culture hacked, from the inside
Our food hijacked by mutations and GMO’s chemicals,
all the while we fight the cynical
How do you rise above?
Love tell me how?
How do you rise above?
Love tell me how?
The fear and loathing of broken insecurity
That feeds the machine of the painbody industry
The machine coated in saccharine sweet
Rom-coms and stories about little baby feet
Pitter-pattering by the golden lab on the lawn.
Images they sell, to keep calm and carry on.
Keep calm and carry on…
(Love tell me how?)
Keep calm and carry on…
(love tell me how?)
But when you strip away, the commercial veneer,
Can you be still and present? Just simply be here?
No Chemical distractions, no cocktail reactions
Just simply allow, love tell me how?
Simply allow, love- tell me how?
How do you rise above?
Love tell me how?
How do you rise above?
Love tell me how?

What To Say...

What to say, by Sarah Chapman
There’s this lump in my throat
WHen I think about you, loving me me
Like I can’t believe, you could love the monster you see
But I try, yeah I try, yeah I try…
Yes I try, yeah I try, yeah I try…
I really don’t know what to say,
But I think I’m chasing you away
I just wanna make you happy
But I really don’t know what to say
Except...
You know I love you, I love you, baby
You know I love you, I love you, baby
You’re the best thing that I’ve ever found
You’re love brings me down to the ground
Lifts me up and then it twists me round
Cuz your the best thing that I’ve ever found
You know I love you, I love you, baby
You know I love you, I love you, baby
You know I love you, I love you, baby
You know I love you, I love you, baby
You know I love you, I love you, baby
And you know that’s all I’ve got to say…

Red Flag by Sarah Chapman
I wanna be, happy
But I think I was already
Can I be, happy?
Without, being free?
Free…. Just be, just be, me… happy…
I think I’m content without you
Especially the fall down drunk you
You won me with words,
But now their just slurs
Stories loop and stools attack
Instant Karma’s always got your back
This was fun, but it’s time to run
This was fun, but it’s time to run
THis was fun, but it’s time to run….
I think you bring me joy
But you play me like a toy
In the hands of clumsy kid
Fermented brain, brilliant mind dimmed
Hands once gentle, now rough and careless
Hate to say it baby, there’s no sex in your violence
This was fun, but it’s time to run
This was fun, but it’s time to run
THis was fun, but it’s time to run….
One drink to remember, one drink to forget
And a few more to all that hasn’t happened yet
One drink to remember, on drink to forget
And a few more to all that haven’t left you yet
This was fun, but it’s time to run
This was fun, but it’s time to run
THis was fun, but it’s time to run….

What’s your Story
By Sarah Chapman
Escape to a, northern location
Lost in the, zen, of isolation
Life of the party
Can’t hide for long
So come on now, and sing this song
Sing people, now sing
Together now, the love we’ll bring
Always fun, and never boring
Tell me baby what’s your story?
Crushed, by the weight, of your own gravity
Deja Vu, dancing depravity
Life of the party
Can’t hide for long
So come on now, and sing this song…
Sing people, now sing
Together now, the love we’ll bring
Always fun, and never boring
Tell me baby what’s your story?

No Guarantees
Put my dreams on hold, to keep a roof over my head
No matter what I did, my bank account was still dead
Gave up my heart, for a safe bet
Afraid to gamble on my dreams
But what you give, is what you get
And guarantees aren’t what they seem
Why must you believe in your failure?
No one can ever really be sure
If you let the fall define you
Then you never would have walked
If you let mistakes silence you
Then you never would have talked
You only need the right opportunities
Have faith and believe
The right opportunities will find you
Have faith in yourself, and believe
Don’t focus on the obstacles
Don’t dwell on the pain
Unless you want to live it,
again and again
You tally up those disappointments, until it’s all that you see
Now take off those shitty glasses, that’s not who you want to be
If you let the fall define you
Then you never would have walked
If you let mistakes silence you
Then you never would have talked
You only need the right opportunities
Have faith and believe
The right opportunities will find you
Have faith in yourself, and believe
Just believe
Believe in yourselves!!
