FEMININE RAGE

[Verse 1]
Athena cursed Medusa just because
She deemed her suddenly impure
Athena cursed Medusa just to spite Poseidon
And settle her scores

Poseidon didn’t learn a thing
In fact I’m not so sure he even cared
Sa'an nan Athena hukunci Medusa zuwa rayuwa na matasa
Within her hair

[Chorus]
Anne Boleyn and Antoinette
Did they deserve to lose their heads
Ta yaya shi ne kawai rage na rage mutane

Ophelia was driven mad
No shit her lover killed her dad
Just so you know I’d probably do the same
And you wonder why
There’s so much feminine rage

[Verse 2]
Helen was abducted just because she was the object of a man
And Circe was abandoned
Cause her father never cared to understand

Each version of the story
Kama kamar yadda mutane samu dukan dabbobi, a karkashin da haka
Then we grow up and read about em
Andinize ma'aikata a cikin kafofinmu

Romeo da Juliet, ba yake ko 14 ko
Her father tried to marry her away

Persephone was forced to go, to live with Hades down below
Kuma a karkashin nan shi ne wanda ya yi ma'aikata

A kowane hadarin da aka ce, yana da yaushe sama

[Chorus]
Anne Boleyn and Antoinette
Did they deserve to lose their heads
Ta yaya shi ne kawai rage na rage mutane

Ophelia was driven mad
No shit her lover killed her dad
Just so you know I’d probably do the same
And you wonder why
There’s so much feminine rage

ALICE

[Verse 1]
Woke up in a haze, nothing on her brain
Gungurawa da matasa, za su ce za su saye da kuma zama wani lokaci
Her head up in the clouds, where has she gone now?
Then Alice took a fall into the rabbit hole
So the story goes

[Chorus]
Alice, Alice, heart and soul fell into a rabbit hole
Dreamers dream until they don't
Lost her mind a while ago
Alice, Alice, don't you know?

Wonderland was all a hoax
Made it up so she could go
Madder than a hatter Alice broke

[Verse 2]
Alice stayed at home, losing track of time
Staring at the ceiling, she escaped into her mind
Kama da cheshire katin, takardar fade to black
And in her mind she'll drown
As she chased the rabbit down, down, down

[Chorus]
Alice, Alice, heart and soul fell into a rabbit hole
Dreamers dream until they don't
Lost her mind a while ago
Alice, Alice, don't you know?

Wonderland was all a hoax
Made it up so she could go
Madder than a hatter Alice broke
Alice, Alice, heart and soul fell into a rabbit hole
Dreamers dream until they don't
Lost her mind a while ago
Alice, Alice, don't you know?

Wonderland was all a hoax
Made it up so she could go
Madder than a hatter Alice broke
(Madder than a hatter, Alice
Madder than a hatter, Alice)

MESS

[Verse 1]
I always smile but it doesn't reach my eyes
And I'm forgetful but I promise that I try
It's a curse and a blessing
The way that I'm never resting
My mind's always moving much faster than my mouth
I know what to say but it never comes out right
You know what I mean, right? (You know what I mean, right? No)

[Pre-Chorus]
This party is too loud
The noise makes me stressed out
I know (I know, I know, I know)
Oh, I know

[Chorus]
I'm a mess
But that doesn't make me less than you
I'm naive
Lalle ne mai kyau don ku
Kuma na iya yin mistakes cewa na ba za a yi su a cikin umurni
I know I'm not incompetent
But, damn, you make me feel that way

[Post-Chorus]
You make me feel that way, you make me feel that way
You make me feel that way, ah
Ah

[Verse 2]
Kama da na'urorinku ne mafi kyau da na san
And nothing around me feels like it's real
I sit alone in a panic, there's always something I'm forgetting
I always remember the strangest things I've said
When I'm alone at night in my bed
And my head is a choir, and my only desire is for silence, shh

[Pre-Chorus]
And my thoughts are racing
The fear I keep chasing
I know
(Oh, I know)

[Chorus]
I'm a mess
But that doesn't make me less than you
I'm naive
Lalle ne mai kyau don ku
Kuma na iya yin mistakes cewa na ba za a yi su a cikin umurni
I know I'm not incompetent
But, damn, you make me feel that way

‍

FLIGHT RISK

[Verse 1]
Ina ba da kyau a zama a cikin yanki
As soon as I land I’m packing a new suitcase
One missing sock, travel shampoo
Every weekend a different bedroom
How do I break it to you

[Chorus]
I’m a flight risk
Don’t know how you missed my name
No fly list
But I’m not gonna miss my plane
Dangane da na farko bayanai, ina shirya
Let my luggage, in the backseat
Of a taxi, no I don’t know why
I’m like this
I’m a flight risk

[Verse 2]
Sometimes I feel, a little bit lame
Watching you stand, alone at baggage claim
But I cut you a break, by cutting you off
Cause I got a discount on booking.com
And I’m gonna use it
Whether you like it or not

[Chorus]
I’m a flight risk
Don’t know how you missed my name
No fly list
But I’m not gonna miss my plane
Dangane da na farko bayanai, ina shirya
Let my luggage, in the backseat
Of a taxi, no I don’t know why
I’m like this
I’m a flight risk

[Bridge]
I’ll be leaving, soon as I’m there
Got my reasons, promise I care
I'm just scared to let you see me, kamar wannan
I’m a flight risk

[Chorus]
I’m a flight risk
Don’t know how you missed my name
No fly list
But I’m not gonna miss my plane
Dangane da na farko bayanai, ina shirya
Let my luggage, in the backseat
Of a taxi, no I don’t know why
I’m like this
I’m a flight risk

30 SECONDS LOVE STORY

[Verse 1]
Contemplating
Saying hello
It’s irritating
How much you don’t know
Just a stranger who boards the train
Before I get to say, anything
Now I’m thinking
Devising a plan of what I might say
If we ever met, hey how are you
I know you don’t know me, but
Would you like to

[Chorus]
Yeah this happens every day
I fall in love with a different face
And tonight you will be miles away
But I cannot quiet my mind
Something different something new
Ayyukanku da rayuwa a cikin lokaci tare da ku
Just a glimpse of a future
That’s not meant to happen

But for 30 seconds
I’d like to imagine

[Verse 2]
I think I read once
May online that butterflies are
Just warning signs
But you got me in disarray
And I feel them anyways

[Chorus]
Yeah this happens every day
I fall in love with a different face
And tonight you will be miles away
But I cannot quiet my mind
Something different something new
Spend my whole life in a moment with you
Just a glimpse of a future
That’s not meant to happen

But for 30 seconds
I’d like to imagine

[Bridge]
Yana da miliyan mutane da miliyan da mutane
Kama a cikin daya daga cikin su, na samu ra'ayi
Kuma na ce ni cewa ina so ka, kuma sa'an nan ya zo kafi
A cikin shekaru 5 za mu daidaita, wani gida da wani gaban
Then I snap out of it, realize I’m crazy
And watch your train pass me by

[Chorus]
Yeah this happens every day
I fall in love with a different face
And tonight you will be miles away
And I'll push you out of my mind
Something different something new
Ayyukanku da rayuwa a cikin lokaci tare da ku
And I saw the future
Was fun while it lasted
It was just 30 seconds
But still I imagined

DEAR READER

[Verse 1]
Wannan ya kamata a yi da abin da ma'aikata ya ce
You read me like nobody else
This is different I can tell

Wannan ya kamata a yi da abin da ma'aikata ya son
You pulled me off the pages
By waiting for ages for you to arrive

[Chorus]
Let me be the Wendy to your Peter Pan
Bincike ni kamar yadda na gaban tafiya a cikin ƙasa ko da ƙasa
Baby will you come back when the story ends?
Promise that you’ll read me
Read me again

[Verse 2]
This must be what writers write about
Can’t you see you’re my Mr. Darcy
And I’m Lizzy Bennet
We’re fated to happen

[Chorus]
So just imagine that I’m Wendy
You’re my Peter Pan (you’re my Peter Pan)
Bincike ni kamar yadda na gaban tafiya a cikin ƙasa ko da ƙasa
Baby will you come back when the story ends?
Promise that you’ll read me
Read me again

[Bridge]
Stories end and pages fold
And over time our story’s told
But we’ll stay young between ink and pen as they read it
Let me be the Wendy to your Peter Pan

[Chorus]
I’m the Wendy to your Peter Pan
Bincike ni kamar yadda na gaban tafiya a cikin ƙasa ko da ƙasa
Baby will you come back when the story ends?
Promise that you’ll read me
Let you read me (Let you read me)

[Chorus]
I’m the Wendy to your Peter Pan
Bincike ni kamar yadda na gaban tafiya a cikin ƙasa ko da ƙasa
Baby will you come back when the story ends?
Promise that you’ll read me
Read me again

[Post-Chorus]
Promise that you’ll read me
Read me again
