lyrics

where do i go when the songs are no longer healing/ i wrote em to stay alive but they're taking the dive again/ they say they love me/ but they have no reason/ not to turn their backs with the coming season and i reach a hand to the sky and meet another fan in disguise of / a strength in humanity/ and words only go so far/ fame doesn't show the scars/ and if it's true/ i'm here for you/ then why am i cast aside/ you've written the words behind my lips/ you've painted the smile upon my lips/ i'm bracing myself for the downfall/ on yesterday's paydays/ and i expend in fear much more than the return/ the broken up mirror/ and words only go so far/ fame doesn't show the scars/ and if it's true/ i'm here for you/ then why am i cast aside/ because i/ have survived/ i've survived/ i'm alive/ we're alive

kaia kalise Madison, Wisconsin

Witty, poetic lyricism, haunting vocals, and earworm melodies. KAIA KALISE strikes an evershifting balance between melodrama and authenticity.
