"Shadow" Words & Music by Kela Parker (2022) From what inside do I run It's gonna show before too long What I need but I fear All I deny coming clear You've got what I want to be What I can sense but cannot retrieve And I'm reaching but I hide Is it real or in my mind, woah Won't find the light this time Shadow come over my eyes How much longer will I go Running out my shadow Only in dreams do I know Oh there I can see so much more Woah..... Won't find the light this time Shadow come over my eyes How much longer will I go Running out my shadow The hall of mirrors always delivers Always keeping score Stuck in the shape of my wanting Only silence knows How much longer can I go Running out my shadow
"The Hunter" Words & Music by Kela Parker (2022) My cold rider My only enemy She's come to take me Down again How brittle the branches break To start a fire Don't ever take much Don't tempt the hunter Who do you think you are? Always playing God Question what you got You choked on the apple seed Trying to get what ya need your line is Caught So don't tempt the hunter My jealousy splits me At the seams Makes a meal of me Look out, she takes everything It's a test of your trust Oh tortured one Now you're on the run Don't tempt the hunter Who do you think you are? Always playing God Question what you got You choked on the apple seed Trying to get what ya need your line is Caught So don't tempt the hunter Took another spin Don't let her in Don't let her in Don't build that nest You gotta just forget it You took another spin Don't let her in Don't let her in You took another spin Don't let her in Don't let her Don't tempt the hunter
"Shoulda Known Better" Words & Music by Kela Parker (2022) I shoulda known I shoulda known better When the movie screen in my head Began to flicker I tell you I cannot take another wreck It would burn me to cinders I've been in a world, I've been in a world of my own Still, I shoulda known, I shoulda known I shoulda known better How my heart can hold a candle for one who's not there I tell you I do not dare I've worn my share of rose-tinted glasses Once or twice I did, once or twice I paid the price I.....shoulda known, shoulda known better..... And I do not dare say -- Why curse myself again And I know it's better this way Cannot take another wreck Words & Music Copyright © 2022 Kela Parker

"Crocodile" Words & Music by Kela Parker (2022) Did you have me heart On a spire right from the start? Well, I'm not one to fall I feel too hard And I think too much When the surface breaks I fear love Will take me in one bite Like a crocodile And while I'm running I Split in half, stuck in two minds And endless fight Why can't I catch the wave Always too soon, or a little late Can't help but feel like prey I see you smile like a crocodile Look at all the ways I stand in place, I leave no trace A hundred hungry ghosts at my heels When the surface breaks I fear love Will take me in one bite Like a crocodile And while I'm running I Split in half, stuck in two minds And endless fight Why can't I catch the wave Always too soon, or a little late Can't help but feel like prey I see you smile like a crocodile Hoped you'd be the one To break the spell, yeah I can tell This all means to much to me I retreat
"Dorothy" Words & Music by Kela Parker (2022) Never knew what she wanted Who you gotta be to ask for something? Stuck to family tradition Always loved an Old Fashioned Her man fled to California With the girl from his office She did what she could, each husband he took A little more of her luster But you'd know her if you saw her The arch in her brow A little red in her hair Drowns into a dream And she's off somewhere No one can follow Only wants to have fun A mama on the run It's nobody's fault And how it fills all the hollows Raise a glass if you've got one Yeah, the party don't stop once you meet Dorothy Lai la lai lai... Her kids clean the bar As the dancers show up Make believe'll getcha But you do what you've gotta And back home nobody sees you Screaming suppers and doors slamming How could one lady Have so many faces Never know which one you'll get But you'd know her if you saw her The arch in her brow A little red in her hair Drowns into a dream And she's off somewhere No one can follow Only wants to have fun A mama on the run It's nobody's fault And how it fills all the hollows Raise a glass if you've got one Yeah, the party don't stop once you meet Dorothy Lai la lai lai... Gives 'em that golden smile She was a wild one, the owner of the Night Life She says, "Come on, take a little time Let's get what you want, and make it alright" She says, like a child A sparkle in her eye "Make a wish if you want And raise a glass if you've got one" Drowns into a dream And she's off somewhere No one can follow Only wants to have fun A mama on the run It's nobody's fault And how it fills all the hollows Raise a glass if you've got one Make a wish if you want And raise a glass if you've got one Make a wish if you want And raise a glass if you've got one Yeah, the party don't stop once you meet Dorothy Lai la lai lai...
