Wreck
Sinister and yet so humble
I'm not prepared to be so harmful
So easy to reason til you are near me
Oh anyway, why would you want me
I'm a wreck I have nothing to give, I am empty
What do you see in me
So easy to reason til you are near me
Run away
Go into a state where I can't reach you
Go into a state where I can't find you
And again, I am trying to please you
Like a child I am selfish and cry
I am a project, why would you want that
So easy to reason til you are near me
Run away
Go into a state where I can't reach you
Go into a state where I can't find you

5 Years Later
Well I don't feel like talking about it tonight
And I don't see the point of rehearsing the stereotypes
I don't feel like a lady
And you never act like my father would
So let's just avoid the disappointment
I could try to be everything that you want me to be
But I don't have the energy and we both know it's not worth the time
It would be really kind of you to just go
I'll even pretend to be sad
la la la la la
If only your conversations were deeper my dear
If only your angry moods were more of the positive kind
Was it always this ugly? Were we always this far removed
From what we had wanted it to be
It's not gonna be a Saturday walk in the park
It's not gonna be whatever you thought it would be
It's not gonna be a mathematical modern cliche
It's not even guaranteed to be

How Does It Feel
If I could I would try to put a name on what you do
To everyone around, I never saw so much good
Not a cloud above you, in your perfect sky
Such a beautiful body such a brilliant mind
So, how does it feel to be that great
Does your pain seem stronger does your window break
When you come crashing down
I've always wondered what it feels like to be good
Is there a part of you that wonders what it's like to be real?
Not a cloud above you, in your flawless sky
I think I could love you but I'm not willing to try
So, how does it feel to be that great?
Does your pain seem stronger does your window break
When you come crashing down

Inside
All the same is all you say
It's all that I can do to look away
When you say
All the names of all the named
We're alienated early in the game
you don't like to play
But all you've you could fill up with your life if you decide
And I can't help til you clear away the pain
It's eating you away from the inside
To will yourself to heal
you will yourself to willingness to try again
But you prefer the suffering and the suffocation
"Yes I am the friend"
And I bend
Over backward to administer to you
And you survive
Blindly leading
Yes I am the blind and I can't see
The way to get to you on the inside
You say it hurts while hurting yourself all the while
It hurts me too to stay
And I await the day when you will have the strength
To make it go away
And I wait
And I am bound
to be beaten by your pessimistic ways
But I hang on
'Cuz I know that in the end
You'll feel safe again
Your army will come crashing down
And underneath we'll have finally found
You're spacious, open wide
Emerging and alive from the inside

Katey Morley Toronto, Ontario
Toronto-based composer and multi-instrumentalist, Katey plays dulcimer, autoharp, keys and percussion, but it is her voice that captivates listeners and that has earned her loyal following. Soft and vulnerable for a moment, and then suddenly unleashed, it is a powerfully dynamic instrument, drawing comparisons to the likes of Linda Ronstadt, Brandi Carlyle, and Sinead O’Connor. ... more
