Hi all!

My name is Christine, I am a singer/songwriter, and I have a kickstarter to help fund the instrumentation and professional recording of my first original songs! I have already reached 72% of my goal and only need $53 now to reach full funding, so please help out and share or back my project if you like my sound or my lyrics and want to help me make my music happen!

For now, I have started asking viewers and backers to vote on which song I should record with my kickstarter pledges, It would be great if forum people could help out and share their opinions!

Backers' votes count twice (so if you really like a song, even backing $1 would help greatly!) and everyone else counts once. You can vote by leaving a comment on my project with the name of the song you like.

I am leaving the kickstarter link here:
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/19 ... y-original

But I will also include the lyrics and links to the song options! Let me know your thoughts, comment, and pledge away! Thanks so much!

True Life

(the song in my kickstarter video, and linked here: https://soundcloud.com/christinepetitmu ... e-original)

You say I found you the words that you never could say

You didn’t know how to breathe but you breathed anyway

You said that I was the light that you never could see

You don’t believe in God, but you believe in me

Others picked at my petals and then tossed them aside

But you, you watered my roots and sang a lullaby

You’re my

True Life

But you don’t hide

You stay the night

You show me sun in the sky on my darkest days

I showed you what’s underneath and you begged me to stay

You promise every day that I won’t be alone

We used our broken pieces to build our new home

No need for lingerie

You take the scars and the pain

You take the words to my songs

And sing them all night long

You’re my

True Life

But you don’t hide

You stay the night

You know

My whole soul

But you don’t go

You make it whole

Your Song

And I could write a song for every boy who ever let me down

And sing a tune for all the times my heart’s been messed around

And hide away forever just to run from all the pain

Till the burning desire hits me and I’m right back at it again

But for some reason I believe that this is something real

And maybe I’m jaded enough to doubt the way I feel

But something tells me this is right like nothing else before

So fuck the others, here I go

It’s you I’m falling for

I’ve said the same about the ones who never seemed to last

But this is here and now and all of that is in the past

At times my insecurities threaten my faith in you

You squash them every single time, and I love the way you do

Cause just for some reason I believe that this is something real

And maybe I’m jaded enough to doubt the way I feel

But something tells me this is right like nothing else before

So fuck the others, here I go It’s you I’ve fallen for

So please be patient with my heart

Cause it’s crumbled up before

And don’t be scared if I hide

Or start running for the door

I’ve made mistakes, and I’ve failed

And it’s still hard to understand

That you could love me like you do

So I put my faith in you

Cause just for some reason I believe that this is something real

And maybe I’m jaded enough to doubt the way I feel

But something tells me this is right and that my doubts are wrong

So fuck the others, here I go It’s here that I belong

Memories Decayed

You are the fragile line

Between who I’ve become and where I’ve been

And now you’re fading away

You are the truth I never had

You were never really there

You just let me slip away

And you’re a decaying slice of memory

I can’t feel you anymore

I can’t remember what it’s like

To want you more than ever

I’m not broken up again

I’m just leaving you behind

You never were enough for me

And now I’m gone forever

Your cowardice had only just begun

To break its way through me

To suck out the life within

Your words are weapons and fire

That command you from the core

To live and die alone

And you’re a decaying slice of memory

I can’t feel you anymore

I can’t remember what it’s like

To want you more than ever

I’m not broken up again

I’m just leaving you behind

You never were enough for me

And now I’m gone forever

The way you move It feels like a dream

A dream I once had that’s moved so far from memory

Would it have been so hard

To just let me go

Without tearing me apart

And you’re a decaying slice of memory

I can’t feel you anymore

I can’t remember what it’s like

To want you more than ever

I’m not broken up again

I’m just leaving you behind

You never were enough for me

And now I’m gone forever

I Am The Light

(crappy acapella recording here: https://soundcloud.com/christinepetitmu ... t-original)

When the sunset speaks to the clock on the wall

I will clench my knees and brace for the fall

I won’t clench my teeth and hold back my song

The only chorus I know: I’m not on my own

I’m not on my own

I’m not on my own

I’m not on my own

I’m not on my own

I’m not on my own

I’m not on my own

And these eyes…have seen the pain of this life

And these ears…have heard cries in the night

And these feet…are calloused, scarred and destroyed

And these hands…aren’t slipping uncoiled

And these tired arms aren’t coming undone

And this sullen mind is not the only one

And this broken body will walk on as it goes

To our only song: I’m not on my own

I’m not on my own

I’m not on my own

I’m not on my own

I’m not on my own

I’m not on my own

I’m not on my own

I’ll read a letter that God forgot to send

Put my neck to the stone and die for my own sins

I will continue to fight for the unknown fight

I am the darkness and I am the light

I’m not on my own

I’m not on my own

I’m not on my own

I’m not on my own

I’m not on my own

I’m not on my own

I’ll be the spark that lights this world on fire

Throwing firecrackers on Satan’s funeral pyre

Nothing is bad and nothing is good

Only this truth that you’d sing if you could

I’m not on my own

I’m not on my own

I’m not on my own

I’m not on my own

I’m not on my own

I’m not on my own

And Finally,

Darkest Corners

I build my home in your darkest corners

I find my solace in your most broken pieces

I find my strength in your moments of weakness

And I find my weakness in the strands of your eyes

So I’ll take you home

Wipe off your eyes

I just need to make you feel okay

And I don’t know why

I’ll mess up your hair

Hold you all night

But I’m never gonna learn to fly

When I’m by your side

I want to save you more than you can imagine

But I can’t imagine what it’s like to be saved

There’s no room for me in your haunted memories

But I can’t bear to leave you even though I’ve tried

So I’ll hear you scream

And walk home alone

I need to keep you running back

More than you know

And I’ll pull you close

Tell you it’s just fine

But I’m never gonna run away

If I keep begging you to stay
