WoefulMinion Unalloyed brilliance. "Rebel Days" is an extraordinary tour-de-force of songwriting prowess and strong, confident musicianship. The songs encompass the whole of life. The past we want to remember, the present age of uncertainty and need for change, and an unknown future waiting to be explored. Favorite track: Pocket Change.

Robomike More heart, true art. That's what I loved 2012, that's what I love today. I never stepped on a kid's sidewalk chalk, 'cause hoping this kid will color my world later. But most of them use flip charts today. Favorite track: Sidewalk Chalk.

Rebel Days Music and Lyrics by Anna Graceman We spend too much time focusing on the little things Why not look at the big picture? We’re not the masterminds, we’re not the ones who are pulling the strings We’re just freethinkers, day dreamers and wishers You’re acting like you don’t understand Are you saying that you were nothing like how I am? Not enough room for me to breath Trapped in these walls there’s no sights for me to see No chance of taking flight with these wings ‘Cause there’s no space for me to break free These are crazy times and we got crazy ways But these are my rebel years, they’re my rebel days They’re wanting us to follow the rules They say if we listen we’ll be fine But baby let me tell you, we’re not a bunch of fools We just don’t have a problem with coloring outside the lines You’re acting like you don’t understand Are you saying that you were nothing like how I am? Not enough room for me to breath Trapped in these walls there’s no sights for me to see No chance of taking flight with these wings ‘Cause there’s no space for me to break free These are crazy times and we got crazy ways But these are my rebel years, they’re my rebel days Forever in a haze Forever in a faze Counting down the minutes, hours and all of the days Forever in a haze Forever in a faze Wishing for acceptance and a moment of your praise You’re acting like you don’t understand Are you saying that you were nothing like how I am? Not enough room for me to breath Trapped in these walls there’s no sights for me to see No chance of taking flight with these wings ‘Cause there’s no space for me to break free These are crazy times and we got crazy ways But these are my rebel years, they’re my rebel days

Who We Are Music and Lyrics by Anna Graceman Keep your questions to yourself You don’t need to ask nobody And we don’t need nobody else Take a road to somewhere sunny I’ll grab your hand and we’ll go If you’re along for the ride Then we’ll reach for the stars Yeah we’ll reach for the sky And we’ll make new mistakes Cause we’re one of a kind If you stumble and fall I won’t leave you behind Capturing secrets and we’ll put them in jars We don’t know who we’ll be cause we don’t know who we are Who we are x3 We don’t know x2 Who we are x3 We don’t know x2 Keep the answers to yourself You don’t need to help nobody And we don’t need nobody else We’ve got each other, fame and money I’ll grab your hand and we’ll go If you’re along for the ride Then we’ll reach for the stars Yeah we’ll reach for the sky And we’ll make new mistakes Cause we’re one of a kind If you stumble and fall I won’t leave you behind Capturing secrets and we’ll put them in jars We don’t know who we’ll be cause we don’t know who we are Who we are x3 We don’t know x2 Who we are x3 We don’t know x2 Ooh woah you’re stumbling down Stumbling down Come stumbling Ooh woah you’re stumbling down Stumbling down Come stumbling Did you take my advice? Not to give up twice Did you learn from other’s misfortune Did you push along Or did you sing a hopeless swan song Thinking falling apart was your only option? I’ll grab your hand and we’ll go If you’re along for the ride Then we’ll reach for the stars Yeah we’ll reach for the sky And we’ll make new mistakes Cause we’re one of a kind If you stumble and fall I won’t leave you behind Ooh woah you’re stumbling down Stumbling down Come stumbling Ooh woah you’re stumbling down Stumbling down Come stumbling Capturing secrets and we’ll put them in jars We don’t know who we’ll be cause we don’t know who we are Who we are x3 We don’t know x2 Who we are x3 We don’t know x2

Easily Distracted Music and Lyrics by Anna Graceman I don’t know where I am from But I’ve been on the run Where I’ve gone helps you know me Don’t ask which places I have been I’ve been to all of them And in each one you’ll learn my story All I say Is I gotta get away I can’t stay Maybe I’ll come back someday Coast is clear I’m getting out of here Disappear Already gone my dear I guess that I’m just easily distracted Apologize for the way that I’ve been acting Place to place Person to person Don’t know what it is that I am searching for All I know is I’m easily distracted I’m easily distracted Please know that I leave with the sun I’m impatient and I’m young I’m here then gone with the breeze Realize I’m only passing through It’s nothing against you That’s just what it means to be free All I say Is I gotta get away I can’t stay Maybe I’ll come back someday Coast is clear I’m getting out of here Disappear Already gone my dear I guess that I’m just easily distracted Apologize for the way that I’ve been acting Place to place Person to person Don’t know what it is that I am searching for All I know is I’m easily distracted I’m easily distracted And leaving hurts more than I remember I’m sorry to have left things in such a mess And I hate to sound so self centered But I promise this is for the best I guess that I’m just easily distracted I apologize for the way that I’ve been acting Place to place Person to person Don’t know what it is that I am searching for All I know is I’m easily distracted I’m easily distracted I’m easily distracted

Glass Walls Music and Lyrics by Anna Graceman Give me a deadline My eyes on the floor Your arm around my waist I can’t take it anymore There was a time when It’d been easy to believe But times they have changed now And we’ve clearly disagreed It doesn’t matter It doesn’t matter No it doesn’t matter If these glass walls shatter We’ve come to the deadline Eyes cast on the door I finally show to meet you You’d thought I’d stood you up for sure The sand counts the hours And you’re hard to read But our time is gone now So I stand to leave It doesn’t matter It doesn’t matter No it doesn’t matter If these glass walls shatter Throw stones and flatter Watch my dreams scatter It doesn’t matter If these glass walls shatter Walking on shards And giving me scars Tearing apart What’s left of my heart Mistakes have been made And cards have been played It seems like we’ve stayed Right in the same place It doesn’t matter It doesn’t matter No it doesn’t matter If these glass walls shatter Throw stones and flatter Watch my dreams scatter No it doesn’t matter If these glass walls shatter

Pocket Change Music and Lyrics by Anna Graceman Heartbroken at words spoken I’m choking, I can’t break I wandered for awhile until they found me They said a penny for a wish They swore that it was true That if I ever made a wish It would come true So I threw a dime in the wishing well for good measure Boy I was a fool to think that, that would make things better Pocket change can’t make my wishes come true So I’m stuck here crying over you Baby I was told to wait and be patient I’ve spent so much time, I’ve run out, don’t know where it went Pocket change won’t make you change your mind But I’m still wishing and throwing in dimes Torn up, scattered, our world shattered So much chatter, I can’t hear All I want is to live my life without any fear Pick up pieces, promise, keep them And believe in, the truth Baby put all of your faith in something bigger than you They said a penny for a wish They swore that it was true That if I ever made a wish It would come true So I threw a dime in the wishing well for good measure Boy I was a fool to think that, that would make things better Pocket change can’t make my wishes come true But I hope others are wishing too Baby I was told to wait and be patient I’ve spent so much time, I’ve run out, don’t know where it went Pocket change can fix this world with some time So I’m still wishing and throwing in dimes Coins in my pocket Nothing in my wallet I’d be fine with nothing else But it’s human for me to want it I’m so tired of the same All I want is a little change And so I throw a dime in the wishing well for good measure Maybe I’m a fool to think that, that will make things better But pocket change can make my wishes come true I’m hoping others are wishing too Cause baby I was told to wait and be patient I’ve spent so much time, I’ve run out, don’t know where it went Pocket change can fix this world with some time So I’m still wishing and throwing in dimes

Nightmare Music and Lyrics by Anna Graceman I hear ‘em creepin’ Hear ‘em sneakin’ They’re trying to be quiet Said my goodbyes I close my eyes Sweet dreams, goodnight Slowly drifting, to a far off place Where I’ll stare my demons, straight in the face When the sun goes away The monsters come out to play But I don’t like these kinds of games No I don’t like these kinds of game This dream is, a nightmare This dream is a nightmare and I’m scared This dream is, a nightmare This dream is a nightmare, a nightmare Story telling So compelling Is the light of the moon Dark has fallen Night is callin’ Soon I’ll be consumed Slowly drifting, to a far off place Where I’ll stare my demons, straight in the face When the sun goes away The monsters come out to play But I don’t like these kinds of games No I don’t like these kinds of game Shadows dance on the wall Footsteps echoing in the hall Don’t you know I’m afraid Don’t you know I’m afraid, hey This dream is, a nightmare This dream is a nightmare and I’m scared This dream is, a nightmare This dream is a nightmare, a nightmare No matter how hard I try I can’t seem to wake up, I Am turning into what I fear most Who I once was, will only be a ghost This dream is, a nightmare This dream is a nightmare and I’m scared This dream is, a nightmare This dream is a nightmare, a nightmare

Tiny Girl Music and Lyrics by Anna Graceman I’m always looked down on Inside always has a frown on They tell me I’m too young Little me, I’m the underestimated one People look at me And all that they see Is a tiny girl With dreams bigger than this world They don’t think I stand a chance When they just give me a passing glance They’ll believe me when fire catches Yeah I’m the one striking the matches In my hands I’ll hold this world There’s more to this tiny girl I’ll be showing what I’ve got Who said you decide if I’m worth it or not I’m not looking to run Why leave when the fun’s only just begun How come all you see When you look at me Is a tiny girl With dreams bigger than this world You don’t think I stand a chance When you just give me a passing glance You’ll believe me when fire catches Yeah I’m the one striking the matches In my hands I’ll hold this world There’s more to this tiny girl Is there a height limit To get on to this rollercoaster ride Come on admit it There’s no reason I should hide Just a tiny girl With dreams bigger than this world You don’t think I stand a chance When you just give me a passing glance You’ll believe me when fire catches Yeah I’m the one striking the matches In my hands I’ll hold this world There’s more to this tiny girl

Christina Music and Lyrics by Anna Graceman You were a lost girl hidden from the world Told to never ask for more than you needed, you never got what you needed Just someone to hold you in their arms Tell you it’s alright so maybe you’d believe it But you never believed it Oh, you’re a permanent wanderer And though you’re grown you’re still that little girl, still that little girl Christina You’ve never been understood Christina Always done the best you could To bury those feelings deep down inside Christina I know that things are getting tough Christina You were never loved enough You wear that smile on your face but I know it’s a lie Christina, Christina Christina, Christina It’s okay to cry So many nights where you wished on the stars Had an open mind and a hopeful heart, you had a hopeful heart Had all these things that you wanted to do And so many dreams that never came true, how come they never came true? Oh you’re a permanent wanderer And though you’re grown you’re still that little girl, still that little girl Christina You’ve never been understood Christina You’ve always done the best you could To bury those feelings deep down inside Christina I know that things are getting tough Christina You were never loved enough You wear that smile on your face but I know it’s a lie Christina, Christina Christina, Christina Christina, Christina Christina, Christina It’s okay to cry Don’t you dare give up on yourself You’ve still got time, yeah you’ve still got time Don’t you dare give up on yourself It’s gonna be just fine, gonna be just fine Christina You’ve never been understood Christina You’ve always done the best you could To bury those feelings deep down inside Christina I know that things are getting tough Christina You were never loved enough You wear that smile on your face but I know it’s a lie Christina, Christina Christina, Christina Christina, Christina Christina, Christina It’s okay to cry

Sidewalk Chalk Music and Lyrics by Anna Graceman We all start off so young We all start off so innocent Used to think that time moved slow Now we don’t know where it went Why do we have to grow up? Why do we have to get old? There’s just some things I don’t wanna give up, you know? Like lemonade stands People’d give us money even when it tasted bad We didn’t have any plans, and we were fine with that When my invisible friend and I talked And we’d color the streets with imagined things and all of our dreams In sidewalk chalk We all get lost sometimes We all get a little off the path That’s usually how you find yourself One day you’ll look back and you’ll laugh Why do we have to grow up? Why do we have to get old? There’s just some things I don’t wanna give up, you know? Like those clear, cold nights We’d bundle up and count the stars in sight We were freezing but we were fine with that When that friend and I used to talk And we’d color the streets with imagine things and all of our dreams In sidewalk chalk First we’re too young for things Then we’re too old for things Then we’re supposed to forget those things And turn the page once we hit a certain age But I don’t wanna move on And I won’t ever forget Cause those things they make me who I am Like how we’d run down the halls Singing songs so loud you could hear us through the walls Didn’t know the words but we were fine with that Then we’d sit on the pavement and talk And color the streets with imagined things and all of our dreams In sidewalk chalk

Just Friends 05:26
Just Friends Music and Lyrics by Anna Graceman Can’t say that things are the best right now Yeah it’s complicated Thought we’d make it work somehow But you say that your feelings have faded I’d hoped that things would be easy Quick and painless Didn’t want things to end like they did But no one granted my wish You say we’ll still talk That we’ll keep in touch But that was a lie Never wanted a lie to be true so much Waiting for you to come back To make amends But you won’t will you, baby? Cause we’re just friends I don’t know what to say And I don’t know what to do I wish we could go back to our old ways But you’re on to something new And you don’t know what to say You can’t ever seem to pretend We’ve gone backwards, yeah to those days When we were just friends Wanna accept how things are Trying to forgive and forget I haven’t gotten very far Because letting you leave is my worst regret I have all of these questions Like, do you hurt like I do? When you made your decision, did you know the tears like I’d cry would be more than a few? You say we’ll still talk That we’ll keep in touch But that was a lie Never wanted a lie to be true so much Waiting for you to come back To make amends But you won’t will you, baby? Cause we’re just friends I don’t know what to say And I don’t know what to do I wish we could go back to our old ways But you’re on to something new And you don’t know what to say You can’t ever seem to pretend We’ve gone backwards, yeah to those days When we were just friends Say you need your space Act like I’m fine with that Put a smile on my face Act like I’m fine with that It’s like you’ve disappeared Try to be fine with that too But you don’t speak to me Try to be fine with that It’s like I don’t exist Should I be fine with that? I don’t understand, That’s not what friend’s are supposed to do I still don’t know what to say And I don’t know what to do I wish we could go back to our old ways But you’re on to something new And you don’t know what to say You can’t ever seem to pretend We’ve gone backwards, yeah to those days When we were just friends

Never Meant To Me Music and Lyrics by Anna Graceman You’re on a roll You’ll make that shot Cause you never miss And I would lose control When you held me When we weren’t like this Now I’m just a number I’m one of your few It’s like I don’t even have a name And now I have realized That I’m done with you And all the worthless games you play I am alone now I am free And I know how It’s easy to be All alone now Was too blind to see But now I know how much you never never never meant to me Na na na na na na na na X3 Never meant to me Na na na na na na na na X3 Free Letting go Can’t hold me back Not yours to own anymore Let’s start the show Who I was That girl she’s gone, she ran out the door To you I’m still a number Ya one of your few I’d be surprised if you remembered my name But now that I’ve realized I’m better without you Oh I’m finally clear to say That I am alone now I am free And I know how It’s easy to be All alone now Was too blind to see But now I know how much you never never never meant to me Na na na na na na na na X3 Never meant to me Na na na na na na na na X3 Free Watching you wander, you beg and plead But I know now it was never meant to be Say whatever you want I don't care You can tell them whatever you dare Watching you wander, you beg and plead But I know now it was never meant to be Say whatever you want I don't care You can tell them whatever you dare Cause I'm alone now I am free And I know how It’s easy to be All alone now Was too blind to see But now I know how much you never never never meant to me Na na na na na na na na X3 You never meant to me Na na na na na na na na X3 Free Na na na na na na na na X3 You never meant to me Na na na na na na na na X3 Free

Storm 03:24
Storm Music and Lyrics by Allie Graceman I feel the storm getting closer Feel the clouds getting darker I feel the storm getting closer I feel wind getting stronger I don’t know if it’s you I don’t know if it’s me Wanting to believe All the flames will be burnt out From the rain falling down No one will be safe Cause a storm’s coming As my emotions start to crash As my heart it turns to ash I’m hoping it won’t last Don’t look back on the past I don’t know if it’s you I don’t know if it’s me Wanting to believe All the flames will be burnt out From the rain falling down No one will be safe Cause a storm’s coming So, lock your door shut and stay inside Don’t come out until you see sunshine No one will be safe, no no one will be safe No one will be safe cause the storm’s coming All the flames will be burnt out From the rain falling down No one will be safe No no one will be safe No one will be safe No no one will be safe cause the storm’s coming

Dust 05:17
Dust Music and Lyrics by Anna Graceman When rain will never fall And darkness begins to call To anyone who will listen Under the influence Beneath the star’s brilliance Where we’re secretly wishing Can’t keep up so we break down Praising idols who wait around We wave goodbye to our yesterday’s We watch as they go And then we just stay in place Cause we really don’t know What we’re doing, we don’t ask why We give them our trust Silently we look to the sky As we turn into dust Don't question or act afraid Mask all of your raging hate They say we're safe behind these bars We've been told we'll be freed with time Follow orders and stay in line Someday we'll take back what's ours Can't keep up so we break down Cursing those idols who wait around We wave goodbye to our yesterday’s We watch as they go And then we just stay in place Cause we really don’t know What we’re doing, we don’t ask why We give them our trust Silently we look to the sky As we turn into dust Embracing the pain as the days drag on It's the only thing that will push me along I can't find a way out My hope is clouded by doubt We wave goodbye to our yesterdays As they're free to go And then we just stay in place Cause we really don’t know What we’re doing, we don’t ask why We gave them our trust Silently we look to the sky As we turn into dust
