Yes, No, Maybe
© Sumitra Nanjundan 2023
Loud
Everything is so loud
Still
I want to be still
Old self, new self
I don’t even recognise, myself
We are never just one thing
Wake up, make up
All I want to do is
Break it up, shake it up
(I am)
Creator, destroyer, I build and rebuild
Fast as I go, I’m moving too slow
Observer, reactor, playing with fire
Till everything explodes
Yes, no maybe I don’t know
Yes, no, maybe
Wrong
Everything is so wrong
How long?
Till I get it right, right, right?
(I am)
Creator, destroyer, I build and rebuild
Fast as I go, I’m moving too slow
Observer, reactor, playing with fire
Till everything explodes
Yes, no maybe I don’t know
Yes, no, maybe
I move, I disappear, I vanish
I run, I scream, I break, I damage
(I am)
Creator, destroyer, I build and rebuild
Fast as I go, I’m moving too slow
Observer, reactor, playing with fire
Till everything explodes
Yes, no maybe I don’t know
Yes, no, maybe

Stay Awake
© Sumitra Nanjundan 2023
The bells are ringing louder now
Her favourite time of year
She’s telling me to join the fun
Christmas Eve is here
She gave me all she had to give
And always spoke her truth
She left too fast, she left too soon
And all I wanna do (is)
Stay awake, stay awake till the sun light’s the sky
Hold her close, don’t let go, keep her memory alive
Lean on her shoulder, rest a while
She says
“Close your eyes, it’s OK, I’ll be here
If you can’t stay awake”
Goodnight angel
Don’t you cry
Sleep my darling
This is not goodbye
People say time heals all wounds
What do they know?
They tell me
“Let her go, you’ll get through it”
But I can talk to her
Talk to her
All I gotta do (is)
Stay awake, stay awake till the sun light’s the sky
Hold her close, don’t let go, keep her memory alive
Lean on her shoulder, rest a while
She says
“Close your eyes, it’s OK, I’ll be here
If you can’t stay awake”
Goodnight angel
Don’t you cry
Sleep my darling
This is not goodbye

Tiny Pieces
© Sumitra Nanjundan 2023
Verse 1
Do you ever stop to think for a minute?
All the years, all the tears
You made me cry
Cry
Do you ever wonder why I never wrote back?
Ran a million miles
You never tried
Tried
Chorus
You left me begging
Falling to my knees
You kept demanding
I do just as you please
All that’s left is shattered
Tiny pieces
Scattered pieces of you
Tiny pieces of you and me
Verse 2
Have you ever asked yourself about the damage?
You left me drowning in the wreckage
Why? Why?
How do you sleep at night, how do you manage?
How do you make it right
With all those lies?
Lies
Chorus
Bridge
Taking all that’s left to burn and bury
Nothing stays the same, it’s temporary
Slowly waking from a broken dream
Gathering the pieces that complete me
Chorus
All that’s left is shattered
Tiny pieces
Scattered pieces of you
Tiny pieces of you and me

Seven Years
© Sumitra Nanjundan 2023
Verse 1
Standing at a crossing
Waiting for the lights to change
I’m afraid I could fall
Calling on mother earth to open up
Verse 2
Going back in time
I feel you smiling down at me
Your fingers running through my hair
Just a minute of easy
Chorus
Seven years and I still
See your face
Staring back in the mirror
At me
Can you
See me?
I still
Call your name
Waiting for an answer
Can you
Hear me now?
Verse 3
Not a word, not a sign, not a last goodbye
How could you disappear
When I still need you
Chorus
