That Was Summer
Remember that time
When you had to help
With your little sisterâs party?
Making up games for her friends to play
While keeping your friends entertained?
Remember that time
When you went to Wainui for a weekÂ
You made lots of friends and had a lot of fun?
You got really muddy at the the mudflats
And you made your cabin lateÂ
Because you had to have a shower?
Remember that time
When your tummy felt like it was doing cartwheels?
You were at Hanmer SpringsÂ
And you had just gone down the Conical Thrill hydro slide
With your friend Emily
Remember that time
You were walking on a track
At night looking for glow worms?
Your little sister felt sick
And looked like she was doing yoga poses?
When the glow worms came out
You were in aweÂ
at the sight of so many little lights.

Saints – Echos
I’m sorry but your story isn’t adding up
Think your religion is a lie to keep my mouth shut
So I won’t testify the crimes you’re keeping score of
Why don’t you throw me to the wolves? I thought you were one
You were standing there like an angry god
Counting out my sins just to cross them off
Saying that my tongue was too loud to trust
And that my blood couldn’t keep you
My dear, you’re not so innocent
You’re fooling Heaven’s gates
So you won’t have to change
You’re no saint, you’re no savior
Your revelations don’t look nothing like the pictures
You read between the lines and don’t stick to the scriptures
You only follow rules if others follow with you
That doesn’t sound so holy only playing victim
You were standing there like an angry god
Counting out my sins just to cross them off
Saying that my tongue was too loud to trust
And that my blood couldn’t keep you
My dear, you’re not so innocent
You’re fooling Heaven’s gates
So you won’t have to change
You’re no saint, you’re no savior
So keep your judgment for someone else, I’ve had enough
And keep your judgment for someone else, I’ve had enough
So keep your judgment for someone else, I’ve had enough
And keep your judgment for someone else, I’ve had enough
My dear, you’re not so innocent
You’re fooling Heaven’s gates
So you won’t have to change
You’re no saint, you’re no savior

Girl in the Mirror – Bebe Rexha
I’m tired of my thoughts
They weigh me down, feels like I’m drowning
I’m tired of my flaws, they fill me with anxiety and I
Honestly, I’m done with hating pictures of myself
And tryna be like everybody else
I wanna be like, look like
The girl in the mirror
Wanna act like, dance like
No one’s watching her
I could try to be just like you
But I wanna be like me
The girl in the mirror
The girl in the mirror
The girl in the mirror
I’m sick of the likes
And followers, everyone’s countin’
I’m sick of the lies
Smilin’ but I’m crying inside
Honestly, I’m done with hating pictures of myself
And tryna be like everybody else
I wanna be like, look like
The girl in the mirror
Wanna act like, dance like
No one’s watching her
I could try to be just like you
But I wanna be like me
The girl in the mirror
The girl in the mirror
Wanna wake up, no make up
And still think I’m beautiful
Wanna smile, I’m eating
And finally be comfortable with me
Finally be comfortable with me, oh
The girl in the mirror
Wanna act like, dance like
No one’s watching her
I could try to be just like you
But I wanna be like me
The girl in the mirror
The girl in the mirror
Girl in the mirror
The girl in the mirror
Lily – Alan Walker, K-391 & Emelie Hollow
Lily was a little girl
Afraid of the big, wide world
She grew up within her castle walls
Now and then she tried to run
And then on the night with the setting sun
She went in the woods away
So afraid, all alone
They warned her, don’t go there
There’s creatures who are hiding in the dark
Then something came creeping
It told her, don’t you worry just
Follow everywhere I go
Top over the mountains or valley low
Give you everything you’ve been dreaming of
Just let me in, ooh
Everything you want in gold, I’ll be the magic story you’ve been told
And you’ll be safe under my control
Just let me in, ooh
Just let me in, ooh
She knew she was hypnotized
And walking on cold thin ice
Then it broke, and she awoke again
Then she ran faster than
Start screaming, “Is there someone out there?”
Please help me
Come get me
Behind her, she can hear it say
Follow everywhere I go
Top over the mountains or valley low
Give you everything you’ve been dreaming of
Just let me in, ooh
Everything you want in gold, I’ll be the magic story you’ve been told
And you’ll be safe under my control
Just let me in, ooh
Just let me in, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Everything you want in gold, I’ll be the magic story you’ve been told
And you’ll be safe under my control
Just let me in, ooh
Follow everywhere I go
Top over the mountains or valley low
Give you everything you’ve been dreaming of
Just let me in, ooh
Then she ran faster than
Start screaming, “Is there someone out there?”
Please help me
Just let me in, ooh

Older – Sasha Sloan
I used to shut my door while my mother screamed in the kitchen
I’d turn the music up, get high and try not to listen
To every little fight, ’cause neither one was right
I swore I’d never be like them
But I was just a kid back then
The older I get the more that I see
My parents aren’t heroes, they’re just like me
And loving is hard, it don’t always work
You just try your best not to get hurt
I used to be mad but now I know
Sometimes it’s better to let someone go
It just hadn’t hit me yet
The older I get
I used to wonder why, why they could never be happy
I used to close my eyes and pray for a whole ‘nother family
Where everything was fine, one that felt like mine
I swore I’d never be like them
But I was just a kid back then
The older I get the more that I see
My parents aren’t heroes, they’re just like me
And loving is hard, it don’t always work
You just try your best not to get hurt
I used to be mad but now I know
Sometimes it’s better to let someone go
It just hadn’t hit me yet
The older I get
The older I get the more that I see
My parents aren’t heroes, they’re just like me
And loving is hard, it don’t always work
You just try your best not to get hurt
I used to be mad but now I know
Sometimes it’s better to let someone go
It just hadn’t hit me yet
The older I get

Dynasty -MILA
Some days it’s hard to see
If I was a fool, or you, a thief
Made it through the maze to find my one in a million
Now you’re just a page torn from the story I’m living
And all I gave you is gone
Tumbled like it was stone
Thought we built a dynasty that heaven couldn’t shake
Thought we built a dynasty like nothing ever made
Thought we built a dynasty forever couldn’t break up
The scar I can’t reverse
When the more it heals the worse it hurts
Gave you every piece of me, no wonder it’s missing
Don’t know how to be so close to someone so distant
And all I gave you is gone
Tumbled like it was stone
Thought we built a dynasty that heaven couldn’t shake
Thought we built a dynasty like nothing ever made
Thought we built a dynasty forever couldn’t break up
It all fell down, it all fell down,
It all fell, it all fell down, it all fell down
It all fell, it all fell down, it all fell down, it
It all fell down, it all fell down, it all fell down
And all I gave you is gone
Tumbled like it was stone
Thought we built a dynasty that heaven couldn’t shake
Thought we built a dynasty like nothing ever made
Thought we built a dynasty forever couldn’t break up
It all fell, it all fell down, it all fell down, it
It all fell down, it all fell down, it all fell down
It all fell, it all fell down, it all fell down (and all I gave you is gone)
Thought we built a dynasty forever couldn’t break up

Devils Don’t Fly – Natalia Kills
I heard the angels call again
I threw myself a party
Chardonnay and oxy
I stopped the screams inside my head
I remember when you had me
Floating high like Sid and Nancy
They say it’s not the answer but I can’t carry on
‘Cause I got nowhere, no one, without you boy I’m done
And when I’m gone, remember you’re the one
And just because I fight don’t mean that I never learned how to love
You know devils don’t fly (fly, fly)
So don’t expect me not to fall
Devils don’t fly (fly, fly)
But God we almost had it all
But I got chains and you got wings
You know that life ain’t fair sometimes
Devils don’t fly (fly, fly)
But I try
What’s a girl to do when she’s not strong
When everyone that holds my hand
Gets cut from all the thorns
I used to put my ear against the wall
To hear the screams, to hear the fall
More reasons to escape it all
And it’s not the answer but I can’t carry on
I give my best smile, my last dime
But I’m always getting wrong
It’s not ’cause I’m young or from a broken home
Maybe I just fight ’cause I don’t know where I belong
You know devils don’t fly (fly, fly)
So don’t expect me not to fall
Devils don’t fly (fly, fly)
But God we almost had it all
But I got chains and you got wings
You know that life ain’t fair sometimes
Devils don’t fly (fly, fly)
But I try
Angels were never meant to fall
And you were the loveliest of all
If I thought God could fix it
I’d pray for your forgiveness
But I’ve been cast down, thrown out
When I crossed to the other side
No devils don’t fly!
You know devils don’t fly (fly, fly)
So don’t expect me not to fall
Devils don’t fly (fly, fly)
But God we almost had it all
But I got chains and you got wings
You know that life ain’t fair sometimes
Devils don’t fly (fly, fly)
But I try
But I try

I didn’t mean to kill her!!
 Ivory and her identical twin bffs, Maddie and Maggie were walking along a well used path to where they always go after school, the cliffs. It was sunny but a little windy. When there they set up a blanket and sat down. They talked about what they usually did, who was the nicest teacher and what they most enjoyed about their day.
Maggie stood up abruptly. âWhat’s wrong?â asked Ivory, concerned. There was a strange glint in Maggieâs green eyes, like someone had died right in front of her. Maddie waved a hand in front of her face, âHelloooâ she called. No response. Maggie slowly walked towards the end of the cliff. She looked like she was about to jump, when some water hit her face and she turned around in shock and demanded to know who did it, of course, it was Maddie. Then Maggie asked how she got over there? Ivory replied âYou stood up and walked, why?â. Maggie stood perfectly still, her face had a confused look on it. âBut I don’t remember anything,â she said her voice shaking.
Crack. Ivory and Maddie clambered back. Maggie, still frozen in shock, tumbled onto the ground. âThe cliffs are breakingâ yelled Ivory as she reached for Maggie’s hand, she grasped it in her right hand. Maddie grabbed Ivory’s leg and pulled back with all her might, Maggie was still slipping. She looked at them one last time and let go. As she fell towards the rocks and the raging sea, she started to laugh. she laughed uncontrollably as she fell to her doom. Bang! More of the cliff fell and embraced her and the sea.
It was so hard to believe one of Ivoryâs best friends was gone in just minutes. The worst thing was, she had watched Maggie die. She felt sick and almost threw herself off the cliff as well but something stopped her, It was Maddie she was standing still and in shock. Ivory could see how hard she was trying not to cry. â Lets go to the police station!â Said Ivory, her voice shaking.âSureâ replied Maddie.
They went down the pathway until they reached their school, the school bully was coming out of detention. He went up to them and noticed they were crying âOh, look here is the cry baby groupâ He teased, everyone laughed.
Maddie who has stage fright screamed, âI hope you’re happy now. Maggie is dead.â everyone was shocked and silent. The school bully asked in a timid voice âIs she really dead?â Maddie nodded and Ivory said â It’s all my fault I let go of her. I didnât mean to kill her.â
âNo it’s not,â replied Maddie as she hugged her bestie, âdon’t ever think that.â With that promise they had a funeral for Maggie and went back to their normal life, but they were never the same again.

Ava went for a walk. When she got back her Mum, Dad and Cody, were not there. âThey must have gone to schoolâ she thought. She packed her bag and left. When she arrived at school no one was outside, âOh noâ she thought âI must be lateâ. Ava went inside and screamed, her friends and teachers were killing each other. She saw Cody huddled in a corner, his blond hair messed up and he was wearing a face mask. Ava ran over to him, he felt very ill. âIt’s a virusâ He said âIt makes people want to killâ.
