I DM 03:56
VERSE 1: The Dungeon Masters... in my field I’d look to them for how to feel Use deprecation as a shield While I hid all my game ideas HOOK: Was unqualified when I began to lead you! I had lows and highs the same as queens do! But I’ve realized in books and dreams, too! A wizard arrives just when she means to! CHORUS: I DM, I DM! I… D… M…! Y’all can’t wait ‘til I say: “Let’s begin!” When I’m hit... by my demons Now I know... how to free ‘em ‘cause: I DM! VERSE 2: Comparin’ is done. The job is showing up. Deciding what to do with time that’s given us. I want to DM! And that means I'm enough! To share the stories we’ve all got in us! {HOOK} {CHORUS} {INSTRUMENTAL BREAK} Was unqualified when I began to lead you! I had lows and highs the same as queens do! But I’ve realized in books and dreams, too! A wizard arrives just when she means to! I DM, I DM! I… D… M…! Y’all can’t wait ‘til I say: “Let’s begin!” When I’m hit... by my demons Now I know... how to free ‘em ‘cause: I DM, I DM! I… D… M…! We’re our own heroes so let’s be ‘em! Gonna keep on believin’ That I’m here for a reason… ‘cause: I DM! A wizard arrives precisely when she means to.

What if I wrote you a song? Would that be wrong of me? A present right off the bat What would you think of that? What if I wrote you a song? I know that you and I have only just met This might be forward, but I can’t help it I’m not quite sure of what I want to say I’ll write one anyway I want to write you a song I wanna write you a song Would that turn you on or off? A present right off the bat What would you think of that? What if I wrote you a song? I’m through with doing what you’re supposed to do I’m trusting instincts when it comes to you The prettiest path to take is clear to see a simple melody I want to write you a song I want to write you a song And you can’t stop me, no No, you don’t have a choice And you might decide to drop me But who can stop a voice from singing? I already wrote you a song Was that wrong of me? A present right off the bat What did you think of that I already wrote you a song I already wrote you a song

I gave you a nice comfy bed to rest in with plenty of chances All you gave me was questions with fewer answers Like how could you do this? And why? I guess it’s clear as day, it’s Easy to see the writing… on your too-many faces So stop pretending. I know you want to end me. Ohhhh CHORUS: You give a whole new meaning to die, A whole new meaning to die You stand right in my way every time I wanna play You give a whole new meaning to die (x2) Since we're talkin' about meanings, let's talk about the meanin' of the word "mean." That's you my friend... that's you... I made the mistake... to count on you You must have waited to show your colors true You never talk, so I never knew your soul You might be a rock, but I’d rather roll ya Does it hurt to lie... like that on your side? Ohhhh {CHORUS} Yeah, that's right All along, I thought it was bad luck Maybe I did something wrong, oh maybe I was stuck But you were laughing at me this whole time Now you’re gonna get a smacking, right in your snake eyes You give a whole new meaning to die, A whole new meaning to die You don’t wanna see me live, and you sure don’t wanna give You give a whole new meaning to die You give a whole new meaning to die, A whole new meaning to die You’ve shown me how you felt, I can’t wait to watch you melt You give a whole new meaning to die (x3)… yeehaw!

Tornado Jail 03:40
CHORUS: Tornado jail, tornado jail I wonder if he’ll ever make tornado bail. L-O-L. Epic fail. Oh well. Tornado jail! I’m watching questions spin in my tornado mind. Like how’s a jail specifically torna-designed? And couldn’t he have simply been tornado fined? Is it wrong or is it the tornado grind? {CHORUS} Aren’t tornadoes made of just tornado air? How’d they lock him all up in tornado there? It doesn’t seem to me to be tornado fair. No one can be bothered to tornado care. {CHORUS} You say tornado, and I say tornah-do Let’s call the whole thing losing the tornado lotto (x4)

Oh I see about a million smiling faces It breaks my heart to hear that hers was fake She didn’t know she wanted Something else from life She’s been asleep, but now she is awake She dabbled in the life that others gave her I don’t know how the shell of her survived So stifled and so stagnant We just didn’t see How bright she’d shine if she could come to life Behold her dreams! Larger than life! Borne of her joy and all the magic that she’s got inside Possible? Or fantasy? Looks like they’re both of those And everything that’s in between She’s hidden them longer than it seems! But now they're ready! Behold her dreams! No no no, she will not believe This is it, she's shot her shot And oh oh oh, she can now achieve Something better, no she won’t stop Behold her dreams! Larger than life! Borne of her joy and all the magic that she’s got inside Possible? Or fantasy? Looks like they’re both of those And everything that’s in between She’s hidden them longer than it seems! But now they're ready! Behold her dreams!

Fall in love with yourself Go above and beyond Get naughty sexy dirty with it Make yourself turn yourself on Yeah I’m serious Love the person you are Stare at a selfie and get busy Go a little bit too far It’s huge, but small! It’s your first step To fall in love at all, fall in love with yourself! Take good care of yourself Brains and bodies are odd Ask all the questions of yourself A vet might ask you of your dog Like what did you eat? Are you getting outside? How often do you see your friends, and Tell me what your poop looks like It’s plain, but good! It’s how you can help! So do the things you should! And take good care of yourself! Maybe it’s easy for me to be singing this song about living your life. But I’m pretty smart and I’ve been through the thick of it, so freakin’ do it, alright? Go nuts and treat yourself Take it easy and flex Throw out the scratchy toilet paper Get the moisturized Kleenex Yeah, open your mouth Up at the register Say, “Add the avocado for a Dollar twenty-five extra!” It’s strange, but fun! So if you are compelled To act like number one! Go nuts and treat yourself! (x3)

Fly Home 03:42
Looking up far away Holding shadows at bay The stars! They glimmer on high They are mighty and brave Although tiny they stay They shine, bid darkness goodbye The dark veil’s holding me Waiting alone All who wicked be Fly, fly home Fly home, fly home, fly home, fly home The dark veil’s holding me. Fly, fly home Looking down at my feet Keeping nature on beat The flowers! The joy of the earth Although fragile and weak They allay spirits bleak They bloom, eclipsing their worth The dark veil’s holding me Waiting alone All who wicked be Fly, fly home Fly home, fly home, fly home, fly home All who wicked be. Fly, fly home The dark veil’s holding me. Fly, fly home Fly home, fly home, fly home, fly home All who wicked be. Fly, fly home They are mighty and brave Although tiny they stay They shine, bid darkness goodbye

Missing You 03:11
I miss the way your spirit made mine come alive But now it’s up to me, and hey, we get there sometimes I only lie a bit when I say, “Doin’ just fine” Still going strong on missing you and wishing you sunshine I wish that I could run into ya at a cafe A simple “hi” could start undoing all of this pain Or maybe it would feel like a cruel twist of fate Still going strong on missing you and wishing you’re okay Who knows what happens next? How long does a cocoon take to blossom? Whatever happens next I hope it’s gonna be awesome! Been spending time recalling all the stuff that we’ve done I also can remember all our plans still to come I wonder when my “now” will have our future outrun Still going strong on missing you and wishing you love I don’t wanna be happy, 'cause it’s like moving on A chapter ending means another chapter’s begun But right now, turning pages doesn’t sound like much fun Still going strong on missing you and wishing you freedom Who knows what happens next? How long does a cocoon take to blossom? Whatever happens next I hope it’s gonna be awesome! Of all the songs I have floating around in my head I hate that this “I Miss You” ode’s the one that you get You know, I’ve got more loving notes I’m leaving unsaid Still going strong on missing you and wishing you the best I'm still going strong on missing you and wishing you the best Ohhh Ooooh

You Found Me 04:04
You’re sitting in your gaming shop, it’s just another day You pull out your dice and you’re ready to play All the regulars are there, the bell rings on the door A lady’s voice asks you if you could use one more You look up to say yes; it’s love at first sight You go to one knee, and I agree that it’s right You found me! (You found me!) You found me! (You found me!) A D&D-playing girl! You found me! (Haha) You found me! (I’m right here) A D&D-playing girl! Call your mom and stop looking for the perfect woman because you have found her! I’m so glad to hear that you’re already sold ‘Cause I’ve been called a few things like sex offender and pyro I tied up a guy who owed me money and left him to rot But is it really all that bad if I never got caught? I can’t wait for you to experience my sociopathy And could you look down there and tell me what these bumps might be? You found me! (You found me!) You found me! (You found me!) A D&D-playing girl! You found me! (Yeah, you did!) You found me! (Go you!) A D&D-playing girl! Call your mom and stop looking for the perfect woman because you have found… her! I get it, you’re scared. As true love goes, I’m your first But just remember: You weren’t coerced And I won’t let you go, so I guess you’ve got to trust That my weird heart has enough love for both of us (I love you… and you love me… yeah, you do) I found you! (I found you!) I found you! (I found you!) And I’ll never let you go! I found you! (I did it!) I found you! (You’re right there!) And I’ll never let you go! You can run for the rest of your life I’ll find you There aren’t any takebacks after you say “I do” I seem to recall you said your life was mine, too Guess how I feel about being lied to Not very good, but we can grind through This, grab a glass, raise it high… imbibe to the fact... that I... found you!
