High Road 04:53
HIGH ROAD Music and Lyrics by Andrea Wittgens, Danielle French, Greg Roteik, Angelo de Augustine You could take a high speed train And I will take an air balloon You could take a cross town bus And meet me halfway You told me babe it's not my fault I take that with a grain of salt Words are easy talk is cheap The hardest thing is leaving You say you've got a happy place Well where's that at? Where's that at? You say you got a dream to chase Imagine that. Imagine that You You take the high road I'll take the bridge You You take the high road I'll take the bridge I'll take the bridge Make a pact to make amends We'll make the bed we lie in We'll make it all up as we go But we haven't made it so far I made myself a dream to chase Fancy that. Fancy that. But lost my way while saving face Imagine that. Imagine that. You You take the high road I'll take the bridge You You take the high road I'll take the bridge I'll take the bridge Losing the light take a shot in the dark Hands in the air we're missing the mark

Morella 03:59
MORELLA Andrea Wittgens, Corinne Lee, Fred Young Once was a lady Morella Skin like a porcelain doll Songs from her lips drive a man to the tip top Teeter on the edge of her magic breath He marries the songbird Morella But soon it’s a syrup gone sour She bends him in spells with tonic she sells As romances but these trances are just murderous advances Morella, you will have the last laugh Tick Tock, your voice it never stops Morella from the lips of a babe You call me Call me You’re losing your luster, Morella Laughing from your deathbed you say “You hate me in life but you’ll love me in death” What a curious crumb from a last breath Morella, you will have the last laugh Tick Tock, your voice it never stops Morella from the lips of a babe You call me Call me Left you a daughter peculiar Sings from the tongue of her mother A child with no name til the baptism day To the ear of the priest returns the deceased Morella, you will have the last laugh Tick Tock, your voice it never stops Morella from the lips of a babe You call me Call me Morella, you will have the last laugh Tick Tock, your voice it never stops Morella from the lips of a babe You call me Call me You call me Call me You call me Call me

CASTLE IN THE AIR (Andrea Wittgens/Jimm McIver) God bless the astronomer Tripping over his own two feet He wakes up in a well with a story to tell And a secret he won’t repeat Catches a fever Becomes a believer Sells the farm for a castle in the air Madness rolls in like fog on a shoreline To take away heartache and longing But it’s shipwrecks and fishnets that litter the film set And all the starlets are yawning (They say ) “Mind your own business The sky needs no witness” But I’m gonna build me a castle in the A castle in the air I CAN'T SEE THE STARS FROM HERE AND I DON'T STRAY TOO FAR THIS TIME OF YEAR So I climb to the ledge for the vertigo Cause I like the feeling of falling I could never say no to the persistent ghost And the street below me is haunted Two feet in front of me You can take the rest of me Take me on up to the castle in the air The castle in the air The castle in the air Ooohs Pray all night for a miracle And you’ll get a sunrise as promised Be it brimstone or fire, either way you’re a liar It’s the grounds gonna keep me honest But God and the Devil They both say I'm special And I gotta room at the castle in the air the castle in the air I CAN'T SEE THE STARS FROM HERE AND I DON'T STRAY TOO FAR THIS TIME OF YEAR I KNOW A WAY OUT OF HERE I KNOW A WAY OUT OF HERE I KNOW A WAY OUT OF HERE

DEEP POSSESSION Words and Music by James Hall, Andrea Wittgens, Jamie Clark Will you put some fire to it Set a live wire to it Give your left eye for it Beg, steal and die for it Will you kick down doors for it Give your first born for it Crawl across the floor for it Shoot a little porn for it Go on take the money And give it to your honey Come on baby trust me I said it so it must be Dig a shallow grave, boy Make yourself a slave, boy Put me to the test talkin cardiac arrest You get a taste, you always want my love You take that shot, you're aiming for my love Obsession. Your deep possession Obsession. Your deep possession Some people pray for love Some people pay for love Some people never get enough Look around at you the broken frames Friends going down in burning flames Play the game til the subtlety is lost Get it off your shoulders Hit it like you told her Come on be a soldier Circle like a vulture Ride it like high priest Chasing down a wild beast Ride it like a rocket 8 ball in your pocket You get a taste, you always want my love You take that shot, you're aiming for my love Obsession. Your deep possession Obsession. Your deep possession Obsession. Your deep possession

GIRL IN A BOX Andrea Wittgens and Liv Mueller I signed on the line How could I know it was just smoke and mirrors Hey, give it a try Don't ask why They could be wrong about you All glitter and stars I was not far from losing my head over you There's magic in hearts Come as you are It's magic that you can pay for I'm the girl who spins for tokens Disappears but I'm not broken Fold me in your guillotine I'll lose my head but I don't scream Every night Lock me me up tight Girl in a box I will be waiting for you See? I can play dead and get up again I'm an illusion for you I release the dove I thought it was love But I was getting paid to pose My skin exposed soft as a rose And it is just as fragile I'm the girl who spins for tokens Disappears but I'm not broken Now I make my grand return I see the flames but I don't burn Every night Lock me me up tight Girl in a box I will be waiting for you See? I can play dead and get up again I'm an illusion for you
