Theories, I know you got your theories I know you got this feeling Everyone’s out to get you (To get you) Faceless, enemies always faceless Somehow, you’re always blameless But that don’t make you bulletproof (Bulletproof)
You hear whispers when we’re just talkin’ See pointin’ fingers When we touch, yeah, when we touch You hear footsteps when no one’s comin’ But you keep runnin’, there’s no use runnin’
You know you’re your own assassin You don’t need no help with that It’s your back that you been stabbin’ When you gonna understand? You know you’re your own assassin You don’t need no help with that You know you’re your own assassin You know you’re your own assassin
When did, when did you start pretendin’? You don’t know why it ended You think the fault is all mine (Is all mine) Mirror, you never checked the mirror Or you woulda seen the killer Starin’ right back with your eyes (With your eyes)
You hear whispers when we’re just talkin’ See pointin’ fingers When we touch, yeah, when we touch You hear footsteps when no one’s comin’ But you keep runnin’ there’s no use runnin’
You know you’re your own assassin You don’t need no help with that It’s your back that you been stabbin’ When you gonna understand? You know you’re your own assassin You don’t need no help with that You know you’re your own assassin You know you’re your own assassin
You know you’re your own assassin (Assassin, assassin, assassin) You know you’re your own assassin (Assassin, assassin) You know you’re your own assassin (Assassin, assassin, assassin) You know you’re your own assassin You know you’re your own assassin
Ah, ah, ah, ah
You know you’re your own assassin You don’t need no help with that It’s your back that you been stabbin’ When you gonna understand? You know you’re your own assassin You don’t need no help with that You know you’re your own assassin You know you’re your own assassin

Self sabotage… lately and the closer to my birthday it gets… the more I feel like I am fighting with this. I know that I am not the only one that struggles with this problem.
I can’t still remember me and Miss November Rain Beautiful and strange Always so inclined, coloring outside the lines Yeah, you were never on time
You’ve always been slightly awkward, kinda weird Upside down and not all here What’s a-wrong with me and you is crystal clear
Sometimes I’m in a room where I don’t belong And the house is on fire and there’s no alarm And the walls are melting too How about you? I’ve never been the favorite, thought I’d seen it all ‘Til I got my invitation to the lunatic ball And my friends are comin’ too How about you? Don’t worry, it’s all just a symptom of being human
Unpack all your baggage Hide it in the attic, where You hope it disappears This all seems so familiar But it doesn’t feel like home It’s just another unknown
You’ve always been slightly awkward, kinda weird Upside down and not all here Right a wrong, it’s all so crystal clear
Sometimes I’m in a room where I don’t belong And the house is on fire and there’s no alarm And the walls are melting too How about you? I’ve never been the favorite, thought I’d seen it all ‘Til I got my invitation to the lunatic ball And my friends are comin’ too How about you? Don’t worry, it’s all just a symptom of being human
We’re all just passing through Passengers on a ship of fools We’re all just passing through Passengers on a ship of fools
Sometimes I’m in a room where I don’t belong And the house is on fire and there’s no alarm And the walls are melting too How about you? I’ve never been the favorite, thought I’d seen it all ‘Til I got my invitation to the lunatic ball And my friends are comin’ too On a ship of fools Don’t worry, it’s all just a symptom Of being human

This song just kinda hit… I so often feel like I am a weird little oddity and I don’t fit in. Even if I know that I am just human… I feel like I am so very strange… and it is nice to hear that I am not alone…
Once upon a time in a far away land A little girl lived under her father’s hand She wept in silence and never talked Her father made sure that he called the shots He nailed the door shut so she couldn’t leave Blew out the lights so she couldn’t see But one night she broke through the window pane Nothing could stop her great escape ‘Cause this girl had plans That he’d never understand All the miracles she saw in her dreams All the amazing things that she could be So the little girl ran away from home you see Little girl go on and write your story Little girl rejoice ’cause you’re finally free Little girl be who you wanna be You already know the strength inside your heart You don’t need someone to tell you who you are Go and say the words you know you long to speak Little girl little girl be who you wanna be Go and say the words you know you long to speak Little girl little girl be who you wanna be Twenty years later through the hourglass The little girl grew up in the time that’s passed All those late nights ’cause she worked three jobs Started from pennies now she’s her own boss One day she opens up the door to meet A stranger at window guess who she sees Her father shows up with a face of red Head down low he looks up and says I know you can’t forgive All the things that I did But I’m hoping that you’ll understand For you I always had a plan So the little girl showed him all the things she achieved The world she saw from all the highest peaks How she moved the mountains with her fingertips Head to toe her father finally admits You already know the strength inside your heart You don’t need someone to tell you who you are Go and say the words you know you long to speak Little girl little girl be who you wanna be Go and say the words you know you long to speak Little girl little girl be who you wanna be Go and say the words you know you long to speak Little girl little girl be who you wanna be Be who you wanna be Little girl little girl be who you wanna be Ah Little girl little girl be who you wanna be

Okay I was going to post this last week but I realized it was going to be V-day and changed my mind because of that. This song made me cry 😭. I have been that little girl. Every girl in my generation has. Expectations are a heavy load.
Mary Anne and Wanda were the best of friends All through their high school days Both members of the 4H club, both active in the FFA After graduation Mary Anne went out lookin’ for a bright new world Wanda looked all around this town and all she found was Earl Well, it wasn’t two weeks after she got married that Wanda started gettin’ abused She’d put on dark glasses and long sleeved blouses And makeup to cover a bruise Well, she finally got the nerve to file for divorce She let the law take it from there But Earl walked right through that restraining order And put her in intensive care Right away Mary Anne flew in from Atlanta On a red eye midnight flight She held Wanda’s hand and they worked out a plan And it didn’t take ’em long to decide That Earl had to die Good bye, Earl Those black-eyed peas They tasted alright to me, Earl You feelin’ weak? Why don’t you lay down and sleep, Earl Ain’t it dark wrapped up in that tarp, Earl The cops came by to bring Earl in They searched the house high and low Then they tipped their hats and said, “Thank you ladies If you hear from him let us know” Well, the weeks went by and spring turned to summer And summer faded into fall And it turns out he was a missing person who nobody missed at all So the girls bought some land at a roadside stand Out on highway 109 They sell Tennessee ham and strawberry jam And they don’t lose any sleep at night ‘Cause Earl had to die Good bye, Earl We need a break, let’s go out to the lake, Earl We’ll pack a lunch, and stuff you in the trunk, Earl Well, is that alright? Good! Let’s go for a ride, Earl, hey Ooh hey hey hey Ah hey hey hey Well, hey hey hey

Okay, Saturday was the 19th birthday for my youngest child. That means I am worn out and trying to get the blog done with no real energy. So, I went with another fun song. This one has been on my social media pages a lot lately.
