Better Off Alone - Written and Composed by Ava Molzen

I cannot look in the mirror to see what I’ve become

Never good enough, no one seems to care, always alone

If I were to move away and never come back

No more hey do this, no more hey do that, but I’d still be alone.

I can’t seem to make anyone happy, can’t even make me smile

I can’t seem to be what anyone wants of me, maybe I’m better off alone.

Look in the mirror to find myself

In a time where I am so lost

I’m reaching out here, I’m trying my best

But maybe I’m better off alone

The days are blurring more and more

I don’t know who I am anymore

I’m reaching out here, I’m trying my best

But maybe I’m better off alone.

I don’t know what to do about my twisted roots

Am I even heard? Do they know me? Do I know myself?

I don’t know what I believe in, but I just want some friends

Who should I trust? Who can I trust? Am I even wrong?

I can’t seem to make anyone happy, can’t even make me smile

I can’t seem to be what anyone wants of me, maybe I’m better off alone.

Look in the mirror to find myself

In a time where I am so lost

I’m reaching out here, I’m trying my best

But maybe I’m better off alone

The days are blurring more and more

I don’t know who I am anymore

I’m reaching out here, I’m trying my best

But maybe I’m better off alone.

I cannot take this burden and carry it this far

I want to love you. I want to hold you. Isn’t that enough?

I don’t want to keep this secret from anyone

But who could I tell? I don’t want to tell. So I disappoint you.

I can’t seem to make anyone happy, can’t even make me smile

I can’t seem to be what anyone wants of me, maybe I’m better off alone.

Look in the mirror to find myself

In a time where I am so lost

I’m reaching out here, I’m trying my best

But maybe I’m better off alone

The days are blurring more and more

I don’t know who I am anymore

I’m reaching out here, I’m trying my best

But maybe I’m better off alone.

I cannot take care of me to save my goddamn life

But I’m all I got. Try to push through. At least I’m alive.

I’m trying my best to take all this day by day

I’m trying to give grace. Trust in myself. Believe in me.

I can’t seem to make anyone happy, can’t even make me smile

I can’t seem to be what anyone wants of me, maybe I’m better off alone

Maybe I’m better off alone

Maybe I’m better off alone.

Dads Playing Devil's Advocate - Written and Composed by Allie Lytle

At the start of every debate

You're in a unique position

There's a road that you can take

Against others deposition

Sure you can make new points

Or try to coincide

But if you're dads during quarantine

You got the devil on your side.

So this goes out to dads playing devil's advocate

You never know why they're doing it

Dads who play devil's advocate just for fun.

Even if you're talking about women's rights

Gay marriage or Black lives

I guess it's still great to look at the other side?

Yeesh!

You'd think health and safety wouldn't be up for debate

You'd think we wouldn't have to pick sides

But masks became quite controversial

A political divide

So now we're stuck singing about this random guy!

Oh! Dads playing devil's advocate

You never know why they're doing it

Dads who play devil's advocate just for fun.

Even if your words have class

There's still a stick up their-

Butt!

Yes, butt of course!

It's really fun to discuss your rights as opinions

And it's really fun that men have a lot of them

Because equal pay is so radical

I guess it's good to be bilateral!

So don't get made when your dad says

"All men aren't that bad!"

Everybody!

Oh! Dads playing devil's advocate

You never know why they're doing it

Dads who play devil's advocate just for fun.

Even if you're talking about women's rights

Gay marriage or Black lives

I guess it's still great to look at the other side?

Dads playing devil's advocate

You never know why they're doing it

Dads who play devil's advocate just for fun.

Though their arguemnts could use less fluff

We really still love them so much.

Just maybe next time

Let's try and find a better side.

Passing Time - Written and Composed by Allie Lytle

If you’re wondering how I’m doing

I’m doing fine

Nothing much to do

Just passing time

But I miss my friends laugh

And its getting pretty lonely at night

We’ve gotten pretty used to wasting time

Saying we’re too busy

Letting life pass by

Now all I do is “self care”

And wishing I had you near

But oh

It’s just time

We’ll remember what it felt like

And make up for it the rest of our lives

We’ll tell our kids to walk outside

To hold hands

And hug real tight

Cause we’re stronger than we think

Braver than we feel

And I’m here for you to help

Pass time .

Cause I’m stronger than i think

Braver than I feel

And I’m here for you to help

Pass time .
