„Travelin' with some stuff I left when I was a kid
          Mr. Bear and the wooden box I hid
          Full of broken gadgets that mean nothin' now
          The only thing I'll keep are the letters and the photographs
          In two days it's my birthday and I'll be 33
          That doesn't really matter next to eternity
          But I like a double number, and I like an odd one too
          And everything I see from now on will be somethin' new
          "I'm afraid of getting older, " that's what I've learned to say
          Society has given me the words to think that way
          The message spirals, "Don't get saggy, don't get grey"
          But the soft and lovely silvers are now fallin' on my shoulder
          My mother and my grandma, my great-grandmother too
          Wrinkle like the river, sweeten like the dew
          And as silver as the rainbow scales that shimmer purple blue
          How can beauty that is livin' be anything but true?
          So let gravity be my sculptor, let the wind do my hair
          Let me dance in front of people without a care
          Let me be naked alone with nobody there
          With mismatched socks and shoes and stuff stuffed in my underwear
          Incomprehensible, let me be
          Incomprehensible, let me be
          Incomprehensible, let me be”

„I wanna dedicate it
          (Pop, pop, shoo wop) everybody made it
          (Shoobie, doobie, do wop) infiltrate it
          (Pop, pop, shoo wop) activate it
          New York, London, Paris, Munich
          Everybody talk about pop music
          Talk about pop music
          Talk about pop music
          Pop, pop, pop music
          Pop, pop, pop music”

„In the PM, all the pretty girls
          They have a couple drinks, all the pretty girls
          So now, they wanna kiss all the pretty girls
          They got to have a taste of a pretty girl
          And then, there I am all the pretty girls
          Act like it nevеr happened in another world
          Yеah, it's a blessing and it's a curse
          So keep on pretending pretty girl
          All the pretty girls”
          -Reneé Rapp

„I'm just a little bit caught in the middle
          Life is a maze and love is a riddle
          I don't know where to go
          Can't do it alone
          I've tried and I don't know why
          I'm just a little girl lost in the moment
          I'm so scared but I don't show it
          I can't figure it out
          It's bringing me down
          I know, I've got to let it go
          And just enjoy the show”
          -Lenka

„One last kiss
          I love you like an alcoholic
          One last kiss
          I love you like a statuette
          One last kiss
          I need you like I need a broken leg
          I was getting off the late shift attempting to recover
          Crumpled up the bus pass, tossed it into the gutter
          Some handsome dark stranger, you were standing there on the corner
          You had those compelling magnetized eyes
          You must have lost when you got older
          Seven blocks in, my fingers brushed your hand
          I blushed and you laughed, but you seemed a little sad
          I ain't one to jump a ship, but I absolutely knew
          I was six steps in when I fell into you
          One last kiss
          I love you like a broken pot
          One last kiss
          I love you like a pack of dogs
          One last kiss
          I need you like I need a gaping head wound
          One last kiss
          I love you like an alcoholic
          One last kiss
          I love you like a negligee
          One last kiss
          I need you like I need a broken leg”

“Meteor shower
          Quick, take cover
          But the hues in our hair compliment one another
          I'd sell my own bones for sapphire stones
          'Cause blue's your favourite colour
          Missing pieces of my skull
          I'll sew on patches of my own soul
          There's nothing you or I can do, so let the stars fall
          'Cause from up here, the sky is my thoughts
          And we're all so small
          We're all so...
          My heart and the Earth share the same rule
          It starts with love and it ends with you
          But don't go outside, it's dangerous tonight
          Without me right here by your side“

"Oh, the wind whistles down
          The cold dark street tonight
          And the people, they were dancing to the music vibe
          And the boys chase the girls with the curls in their hair
          While the shy tormented youth sit way over there
          And the songs, they get louder each one better than before
          
          And you're singing the songs
          Thinking this is the life
          And you wake up in the morning
          And your head feels twice the size
          Where you gonna go, where you gonna go
          Where you gonna sleep tonight?
          And you're singing the songs
          Thinking this is the life
          And you wake up in the morning
          And your head feels twice the size
          Where you gonna go, where you gonna go
          Where you gonna sleep tonight?
          Where you gonna sleep tonight?
          
          So you're heading down the road in your taxi for four
          And you're waiting outside Jimmy's front door
          But nobody's in, and nobody's home till four
          So you're sitting there with nothing to do
          Talking about Robert Riger and his motley crew
          And where you gonna go and where you gonna sleep tonight
          
          And you're singing the songs
          Thinking this is the life
          And you wake up in the morning
          And your head feels twice the size
          Where you gonna go, where you gonna go
          Where you gonna sleep tonight?
          And you're singing the songs
          Thinking this is the life
          And you wake up in the morning
          And your head feels twice the size
          Where you gonna go, where you gonna go
          Where you gonna sleep tonight?"

"No men
          Believing in equality means that we hate men
          Stick together with your girls, gays, theys, and thems
          And just to be clear, we only mean cis men
          Throw my burning fry your fucking head
          If that's okay I'll wear a dress and combat boots to the revolution
          (I'll wear whatever the fuck I want)
          That's okay that Rush Limbaugh said we're all ugly lesbians
          (Even if we are, you can suck my dick in hell, bitch)
          No men
          Don't interrupt me ever a-fucking-gain
          Taking a space created for white men
          No honey, don't want your opinion
          Better seen than heard of fucking men if that's okay
          Anything you can do I can do better on my period
          If that's okay I'll wear a dress and combat boots to the revolution
          (I'll wear whatever the fuck I want)
          No men"

I just turned sixteen and I think I know everything

"I never knew you before.
          I've been walking around with my eyes on the floor.
          But now you're everywhere to me you're every face that I see.
          Things ain't moving quick enough for me.
          I guess I've been running round town leaving my tracks, burning out rubber,
          Driving too fast but I've gotta slow right down.
          Back to the moment the very start, from the very first day you had my
          Heart but I've gotta slow right down.
          Slow it down, down, down, down, down
          Wishing, wanting for something more, always better than I had before.
          Who knew these dreams would come true?
          And I run the red won't stop at night I don't care for traffic lights.
          Things ain't moving quick enough for me."
