High and Dry 03:36
lyrics

Oh there's a place in the rain Far from hope, far from pain Some might say it's where ya go beyond insane Oh there's a hut in the wood Nobody cares if you're good That's the place right where I stood But sometimes you turn You find a way To pull in the reins Oh the moon shines at night But it's far from bright It's secrets ready to Ignite Wading in the water Well it's far from over Your feet they just get colder Heart stripped down to size When you realize That you're naked between the thighs But sometimes you turn You find a way To pull in the reins Oh the bit at the mouth Frothing at the bait You question am I too late Wading in the water Well it's far from over Your feet they just get colder Just get colder Oh cause your demons they eat your insides They attack from behind And leave you going blind Oh cause your demons they eat your insides They attack from behind And leave you high and dry High and dry High and dry Oh yeah your demons they leave you high and dry Oh yeah your demons they eat your insides They attack from behind And leave you high and dry

Three Times 03:53
lyrics
buy track
It was after you left That it sunk in The despair of saying goodbye A little whole in my heart It didn't make sense The pain and joy that I felt inside I said this couldn't be love As reason suggested When only three days had gone by But I cried three times I cried three times I just wanted to see your eyes I cried three times It was a whirlwind affair It felt so rare As I'd never had this in my life Comfortably sedated It didn't feel aided By the lies we bury inside Easy and free Everything I wanted it to be You felt like a knight to my pride So I cried three times I cried three times I just wanted to see your eyes I cried three times What would it be like With you in my life Halfway around the world Well I'll never know It's like you said While lying in bed All the feelings Will just make you grow Mostly embarrassed and sad But the best I'd ever had My true Feelings I never did show So I cried three times I cried three times I just wanted to see your eyes I cried three times Once when I left you Once when you called And once when I said goodbye Afraid I'd never see you again That we would just remain friends And you'd be the last To come my way My biggest fear in life Is I'll never look twice And love won't Ever stay So I cried three times I cried three times I just wanted to see your eyes I cried three times Once when I left you Once when you called And once when I said goodbye

Porcelain Finish 03:00
lyrics

White and round Clean and Bleached A finish just like a dentist's teeth Stained and brown And full of sores A mouth that's locked behind a door One juxtapose the other Fighting to discover Lock the door And hide the key Nobody else but me Lock the door and hide away Nobody else has a say One day goes by And then the other Much to my surprise It's still not over The porcelain finish Is always the same The porcelain finish Is always the same Finding a friend in an unknown plain Always the same Lower than the highest lows Nothing here is on show Lock the door And hide the key Nobody else but me Lock the door and hide away Nobody else has a say The porcelain finish Is always the same Finding a friend in an unknown plain The porcelain finish is always the same Always the same The porcelain finish it knows my name

Long Way Home 02:15
lyrics

Take this shirt off my back Cause it's the last shirt I got And know when I walk It's the last way home Down a Dusty Road I walk the streets alone I'm not asking you to follow Or lead the way Just take a chance And a leap of faith Down a dusty road I walk the streets alone Oh we think we have the answers To a happy life But control has a power And it cuts like a knife Down a dusty road I walk the streets alone Take this shirt off my back Cause it's the last shirt I got

Together 04:24
lyrics

It starts with a little thought Inside Your head It grows to be a great big tree Bet you thought it started out ok But it didn't end up that way It ended a great big mess And once it's in the Earth You've already given birth You can't explain How that feels And no matter how hard you try You start to realize You can't go back to life before You're now so much more If you wanna go back Then take yourself back But don't take me with you If you wanna go home Then take yourself home But I'm staying right here So we're clear What if somebody Asked you today Would you go back And have your way I know if someone If they asked me I'd think about what I'd loose I don't know if I'd choose But maybe you would choose The past If you wanna go back Then take yourself back But don't take me with you If you wanna go home Then take yourself home But I'm staying right here So we're clear Cause if I've learned nothing I'm trying to learn to trust myself Even if that means Being something new So take me as I am today Not the girl I was last May That was just a scared little girl I trust myself I trust you Do you, do you Trust you If you wanna go back Then take yourself back But don't take me with you If you wanna go home Then take yourself home But I'm staying right here So we're clear Cause if I've learned nothing I'm trying to learn to trust myself Even if that means Being something new So take me as I am today Not the girl I was last May That was just a scared little girl I'm not perfect And you're not perfect We are who we are So can we please be Who we are Together Or apart

Fool 02:15
lyrics

You fed me lies That I could handle Looked deep in my eyes And melted me like a candle At the end of the day You got your way And left me for a fool Don't take me for a fool Dont' take me for a fool Don't take me for a fool I walked away And you didn't stop me It ended that day You walked away scott free I would blame two But I wish I had shamed you Don't take me for a fool Don't take me for a fool Dont' take me for a fool Don't take me for a fool I'll no longer play it cool Don't take me for a fool

Does It Keep You Up At Night 03:48
lyrics

When your day is long And the road is rough Have you had enough Of this life I can hear you inside my head I can feel you wrapped around my neck But are you out there waiting to be found Are you out there making a sound As the curtain falls And the lights go out Catch the wind in your hair Wonder if I'm there Do you wonder what would it be ilke Does it keep you up at night Does my memory keep you up at night Standing there so tall You can only fall With no ground below Leaves nowhere to go Rise above Rise above Rise above And find love Does my memory keep you up at night Did you give me up without a fight Do you wonder what would it be like Does my memory keep you up at night When your day is long And the road is rough have you had enough of this life

I wanna be pretty I wanna be rich I wanna be so much more Than things on a list I wanna be kind I wanna be smart I wanna move beyond Just taking part And I wanna be hard I wanna be soft I wanna hold the whole world Inside my heart And I wanna be simple I wanna be plain I don't want anyone Anyone else to take my name I know I'll find my way No matter what it takes To get through the day And I wanna be pretty I wanna be rich I wanna know who I am And let that stick I wanna be smooth I wanna be slim I wanna be I wanna be I wanna be pretty I wanna be rich I wanna be all the things That make me fit I wanna be me With no restrain I wanna hold my head high And feel no pain I wanna hold my breath And feel no pain No pain And I wanna be I wanna be I wanna be pretty I wanna be rich I wanna be all the things I wanna be And nothing less I wanna be smart I wanna be kind I wanna taste all the things That go on in my mind And I wanna be I wanna be Pretty

Piper Hayes Toronto, Ontario

Finding truth beyond words, rhyme, and reason; delving deep where others don't go; unraveling the many threads of time...Piper sings a bewitching tune. Her voice creeps from a small steady note to a grand booming tone. Power and presence are her appeal, and strength the name of her game. She brings a new twist to the idea of authenticity. In performance she comes alive! ... more
