Stranded
1st February 2021 (C) (P) Music and Lyrics by Erika Bach
I’m not looking at you
Looking into your eyes
There’s nothing that i can do
While the world is paralyzed
And if I fall will you pick me up
Or will you walk away and leave me stranded
If I’m not perfect will you turn your head
Or will you love me open handed
Chorus A:
I’m standing in the rain trying to keep myself sane
I know you told me that you loved me but you’re never coming back
And i can’t stop from going under
We’re on our way to hell
I wish i couldn’t tell that you left me stranded
Chorus B:
Tonight i close my eyes and drift away somewhere nice
Oh tonight I close my eyes and drift away
You left me to bruise every feeling every truth
There is so much to lose on this road to emptiness
In the storm will you keep me dry
Or will you run and hide from the thunder
If i hurt too long will you dry my tears
Or will you let me just go under
You left me stranded
Chorus B
You left me standed

Worth It
29th Janurary 2021 (C) (P) Music and Lyrics by Erika Bach
Can someone tell me will we ever get out of here
I look around and there is nothing left to see
I can feel another storm coming on
The rain pours down on me I lose my way
Chorus:
Is it worth the suffering
Is this the end or the beginning
Is it worth what we’re losing
Is it worth it
Is there anyone left to see what has become of us
There is no love
There is no empathy or trust
I wish i could be like you and just look away
I’ve tried to swallow down but i can’t today
There is a warning sign but will we see
Someone is running
Someone’s on their knees
Chorus
I counted on you to be there for me when i needed somebody
I counted on love is stronger than all the things that could bring us down on our knees
All of my life i’ve wanted peace of mind
Fear crashes into us making us blind
Chorus

I Can’t Live Like This
26th Janurary 2021 (C) (P) Music and Lyrics by Erika Bach
Hold me down onto the floor
I can’t breathe anymore
I feel the strain
And hope it’s not the same
For you
I can’t live like this
Leave me standing behind the door
This is not what we call living
I can’t live like this
They have taken all my bliss
They want more than i can give
Shut my mouth with a fist
I feel the strain
And hope it’s not the same
For you
And hope it’s not the same

Stone
10th Janurary 2021 (C) (P) Music and Lyrics by Erika Bach
Love me
Will you take me
This silence will break me
I’m not as strong as you think
All alone in this world with no one to hold on to
I wish you could fix everything
I’ve tried to work out
What it is that I’m missing
All I know is it doesn’t feel good
Yes you’ve tried to be helpful
But it makes me resentful
That it’s me you want to hurt
Chorus:
I feel like stone
I sink like a stone
My mother she’s gone
But I’m still trying to save her
I wish that I could
Oh I wish that I could
Will somebody tell me what’s wrong with this picture
I’ve searched for the answer but it’s no good
Chorus
Under water I’m breathing in fishes
All thoughts that were torture fade into the blue
The life that I choked on falls deeper and deeper
Until there is nothing left to prove
Chorus

A Million Miles
4th February 2021 (C) (P) Music and Lyrics by Erika Bach
Under water
Under bridges
Undecided
What is right or wrong
Are we all in denial
Winter turns rain to snow
Makes ice of your cold heart
Are you standing by
Let them tear us apart
Chorus:
A million miles of bitterness
Will someone stand up against unhappiness
In the center of the world there is a fire
We go round and round
And make love our desire
Now what we know is lost
And there is no way back
No matter what we do
We’re all moving to that
Chorus;
A million miles of bitterness
Will someone stand up against unhappiness
A million miles
I feel yes i feel
The pain locked inside my bones
Concealed
A million miles
A million miles

Changes
22th Janurary 2021 (C) (P) Music and Lyrics by Erika Bach
I don’t want to talk
Talking is too hard to do
I don’t want to feel
Feeling makes me think of you
Simon said to jump
We we did right into fire
We won’t make it back
So much hurt and such desire
Chorus:
Changes
Keeping us all in our cages
Feeding on fear makes me quiver
Sailing our love down the river
Have you heard the truth
They say it’s lies
They have the proof
Turn me off and on
Make believe what’s right is wrong
You’re so far away
I can’t get to you today
Will we make it back
Out of here with love intact
Chorus
Would you ever guess
We would end in such a mess
Falling in so deep
Shaken out of peaceful sleep
Life is silence now
Come on baby tell me how
We escape these chains
Start again with what remains
Chorus

Thought Police
12th Janurary 2021 (C) (P) Music and Lyrics by Erika Bach
I listen
I do
It’s a dark time to get through
Do you want to hear what I say
You don’t like it anyway
Chorus:
The Thought Police is coming to get in side your mind
They’re right
We’re wrong
They see but we are blind
I’m here
You’re there
You don’t know me
You know fear
Don’t say that
Shut your mouth
They’ll disconnect you
For thinking out loud
Chorus
I want to breathe in the air
See the smile on your face
Kiss you on the mouth
Have dinner at your place
Meet you in the park
And sit on a bench in your arms
Without the police and their guns guns guns guns guns guns
We are lost
Left behind
A question crucified
Make your children righteous soldiers
No alliance to their their brothers
Chorus
And not just mine

HOW LONG
LYRICS AND MUSIC BY ERIKA BACH 5TH JANUARY 2021
One day I opened up my eyes, but there was nothing left to see
I couldn’t breathe
I couldn’t speak
And I was forced down on my knees
The fear in everybody’s eyes when death is finally realized
Dissected and publicized and tearing at the seams
Who
One day I opened up my eyes
Everyone I knew was paralized
Under a spell
Black out the sky
No one will see the stars tonight
There is no truth for you to find
Counting the numbers makes you blind
Just hold your hands up to the sky
And wait for someone to decide
How long will we have to live like this
How long
How long with no way to resist
How long
I feel everything you feel
I want everything you want
Even if it means you hate what I say to the lies and to the ones who are lying
I love everyone I love
Like you love everyone you love too
You can believe what you need but I know in my heart that I have to fight it
I feel everything you feel
I want everything you want
Even if it means you shut me down, cut me out
Leave me in this sea to drown
I love everyone I love
Don’t want to hurt or kill anyone
But I know there’s a better way and all I’m asking is for you to find it
Free
Let me be me
Free

Under This Sky
16th Janurary 2021 (C) (P) Music and Lyrics by Erika Bach
Under this sky it doesn’t feel like the end
Tell the same lie over and over again
Everybody’s here and there’s no one leaving
Everybody’s chained to the fear of dying
Everybody’s telling the same old story
Everybody wants to believe
I’ve caught the disease
But that’s not what’s killing me
Under this sky I still believe that I’m free
I closed my eyes
The world brought me down to my knees
They took everything and left us with nothing
We should be happy
We should be so happy
Now that everything’s the same
We should be so happy
They’re coming to save us
Save us from ourselves
There is nothing in the way
Everything is changing
There is no one left to pay
Everything is changing
There is nothing left to say
Everything is changing
There is no one left to pay
Everything is changing
Under this sky it doesn’t feel like the end

Thunderstorm
14th Janurary 2021 (C) (P) Music and Lyrics by Erika Bach
Body bags
Filled with hope
In a hole
Down to stone
Black as coal
You’ve got a heart that’s cold
You believe things you are told
Chorus:
I’m not alone in feeling low
I’m not alone in letting go
Everything we knew to be true
Nothing is left for us to lose
Hold onto me like you’re in love
Tell me you know that it’s enough
Don’t let me see it isn’t true
Overboard
Love for sure
Too far gone
To give more
I feel undone
There is no one
To warm this space
Your love is waste
Your love is waste
Chorus:
I’m not alone in feeling low
I’m not alone in letting go
Everything we knew to be true
Nothing is left for us to lose
Hold onto me like it’s a fight
For everything you think is right
Hold onto me and don’t let go
No one hears me crying out in this thunderstorm
No one hears me crying out in this thunderstorm
In this thunderstorm

Not Standing Quietly By
19th Janurary 2021 (C) (P) Music and Lyrics by Erika Bach
All my friends are leaving me
They can’t love me if I don’t agree
I lost you to the other side
I lost me too, but it’s alright
Chorus A:
I’m not standing quietly by
While the world goes insane
And I can’t love you now
Turn your back when the sun goes down
Too far away love hit the ground
Lock me down
Let it begin
Breathing out and breathing in
Chorus A
Let the voices fade
Then everything feels alright
Let them play thier games
Everything is alright
Everything is alright
Winter storm or winter sun
There is nowhere left to run
Never thought i’d let you go
After wanting you so
Chorus A
Chorus B:
I’m not holding my breath this time
While the world turns on it’s head
So i can’t love you now
