No sense in crying, no sense No use in trying, no defense People change And when they don’t include you You feel so low You feel so goddamn low People lie And when you’re the one who’s lied to You feel so low You feel so goddamn low People leave And there’s nothing you can do But feel so low You feel so goddamn low My weeping willow Tree of tears Falling on my pillow Over all the years No one sees Out of sight they can forget It feels so low You feel so goddamn low No one cares When they do it’s just regret You feel so low You feel so goddamn low Now I live Cigarette to cigarette I feel so low I feel so goddamn low

God my life is boring Stare at the flooring See me ignoring What you say I don’t want to absorb any of your suburban ways All I do is wake up, sleep and wake-up, kiss and make-up my life away I don’t want to pretend just around the bend I’ll be amazed Well that’s the way it goes The way it goes Well that’s the way it goes The way it goes An old-fashioned fella brings an umbrella just in case it’s gonna rain Do I have to absorb all of the pain Concerned with the antics not semantics of a frantic ball of fire Do I have to follow when you wallow in the mire Well that’s the way it goes The way it goes Well that’s the way it goes The way it goes

We can never look at the sun because we’ve been told No matter how you want to So why’d you do what you’ve done Where’s your control I hope the devil haunts you I hope the devil haunts you Imagine everything you love dear on a runaway horse No matter how we hold on So why you'd need my worst fears Where’s your remorse I hope the devil haunts you I hope the devil haunts you One more soul on earth Won’t be the last Wasn’t the first One without desire to deepen a wound That already hurts I hope the devil haunts you

Confession 04:55
Pull the curtain Father priest Start with the worst then the least Recite the bad things that you’ve done Recite the bad things that you’ve done What’s the verdict Am I man or beast Father why are you so tense No need to put up a defense There was a bulls-eye and a dart I threw it hard with all my heart What’s the verdict Am I man or beast
5.
Killer in Me 02:49
Break it down, break it down Break it into little pieces Bring em back to see Someone iron out the creases To see (you’ll see) the killer in me I might get it started I might get it started You’ll see the killer in me I might be black hearted I might be black hearted You’ll see the killer in me Break it up, break it up Back away with your hands up Get down on your knees Have to see how it ends up When there’s a killer underneath And I’m just getting started I’m just getting started You’ll never know how far I might be black hearted I might want to scar Breaking down, breaking down Try not to show a weakness Be all I can be Someone iron out the creases There’s a killer in me
6.
Breathing in Breathing out Breathing in breathing out That’s good enough for me Staying in on the couch Watching others move about That’s good enough for me If everything was effortless There would be less to do If everything was effortless Then I wouldn’t need you Sleeping in, sleeping late Sleeping in, sleeping late That’s good enough for me Keeping up, keeping pace Watching others run in place That’s good enough for me If everything was effortless There would be less to do If everything was effortless Then I wouldn’t need you
7.
Señorita 03:13
The dreams undone will wake me Try to run and shake free And I don’t need a warning This may be my last morning This is the night He fights for his life Señorita, senora Your matador does not have to die And you don’t need to cry The conquistador brought in More than you bargained for him To try and plunge a sword in And all to lose or win This is the night I fight for my life Señorita, senora Your matador does not have to die And you don’t need to cry You don’t need to cry anymore You don’t need to cry

Silver Line 01:55
A silver soul up on a cloud Said I’m a gonna make you proud I said you fool that’s not the game Of all the clouds none are the same I said you better come down Cuz you look like a clown Your silver line is gonna fade Your silver line is gonna fade The silver soul just looked at me and said how stupid can you be It’s not enough to sit and moan I’ve had some dark clouds of my own It’s time to come down When you look like a clown Your silver line is gonna fade Your silver line is gonna fade I heard a crash and then a flash I saw the lining in the trash You better come down When you look like a clown This silver line is gonna fade This silver line is gonna fade This silver line is gonna fade This silver line is gonna fade
9.
Kaleidoscope 03:33
When I look inside of you You always change my point of view Kaleidoscope, I’m holding Kaleidoscope, you bring me hope Cuz when I look inside of you You always change my point of view Kaleidoscope Jumbled thoughts Swirling around Feel as if my feet are lifting off the ground Tumble about, hurling around (without a sound) Feels as if my feet will never touch the ground Never touch the ground Smile I wear When I’m down Reminds of the song 'tears of a clown' Falling on the ground
10.
All your friends have boyfriends You’re all alone Well that’s the best news that I ever heard You should be happy Let’s see a smile They’re probably choking on their pearls They’re probably choking on their pearls They’re probably choking on their pearls My little pony ran away With all the pastel colored hay They choose their bridesmaids before the groom He’s probably smoking in his room He’s probably smoking in his room He’s probably smoking in his room Someone’s on the rooftop threatening to jump The crowd is circling like birds I say come on down now you’ll get over this hump And that was the best news that she’d ever heard Will I be choking on my words Will I be choking on my words
11.
Sugar Hill 02:01
I don’t want to punch you I want to have lunch with you in the park I don’t want to fight you I want to play nice with you in the dark 65 years could go by before my tears have dried How do I fix this I don’t want to mix this Sour into sweet Everyone thinks that I'm gonna jinx it It's not up to me 65 years could go by before my tears have dried If you won’t say you will Meet me on sugar hill It’s the sweetest place you’ll ever be
12.
On Mars 02:35
I meant to write a happy song Cause people like to sing along Could have been about the sun And how it shines on everyone Could have been about a birth A happy birthday verse But somehow I was cursed When mirth was disbursed I bet everything is beautiful on mars I hope you’re not too disturbed If you read between the words I really don’t know what you heard If you read between the words I bet everything is beautiful on mars I think I wrote a happy song I hope you want to sing along

Suzy Callahan Maryland

“Suzy Callahan imbues “Maybe” with more mystery and complex emotions and offbeat observations than entire albums by many artists…Fans of Edith Frost will definitely find much to love in Callahan’s catalog.” - Queen City Sounds and Arts Blog.
