Left/Right 02:28
Journey after journey, day after day, I'm gonna live life my way. Road after road, left or right? I won't lose without putting up a fight. You tell me you need me, and then you cut me out, not a doubt the fires out. Heavy breathing reminds me that I'm still high, I choose my own battles and I let out a cry. A cry for help when I'm stuck in hell. Somebody save me before I hurt myself. Journey after journey, day after day, I'm gonna live life my way. Road after road, left or right? I won't lose without putting up a fight. How do you live with the same mistakes? Sometimes I wonder if I'm still the same. When everyone's gone, who is to blame? They know you're hurt cause your heads hanging in shame. Journey after journey, day after day, I'm gonna live life my way. Road after road, left or right? I won't lose without putting up a fight. I know I'm right, I know I'm right. Where is that light? Diamonds aren't worth a price, I'm the treasure of your eyes, when will you wake up and realize? Journey after journey, day after day, I'm gonna live life my way.

Need You Now 03:35
Said we won't young forever so lets put this time aside and do what we feel like, and I'll take my precious time in trying to make you mine, but you're fine with somebody else. What do I gotta do to prove to you I'm what you need? Looking for the right things to say, but they're just not coming to me, oh i'm nervous and a wreck but I'll forget. Said ooh, I think I'm falling down, ooh you make me want to wake up in the morning, but I hate my life, i just want to make things right cause I need you now. Counting all of your endless lies, trying hard, what's the fight? You're so full of yourself, I can't but help to tell you the truth. I thought I loved you, now there's nothing to do but learn, what have I become? ooh, I think I'm falling down, ooh you make me want to wake up in the morning, but I hate my life, i just want to make things right cause I need you now, yea I need you now.

Empty Handed 03:09
If it's worth the fight to know we both are right, well we can make amends with old bestfriends and push them aside. Until they realize how you feel inside, you don't have to hide anymore. Ooh I love you, baby but I don't want to.. Singing I love you but baby I don't want to. But I can't help it if you won't let it, screaming I won't let you go. You got baggage of your own, but you won't sleep at home. You got baggage of your own. We could cut all ties to the smallest goodbyes, we are convicted, are conflicted with a crime, but listen to my alibi, I bet you won't even try. Ooh I love you, baby but I don't want to, screaming I love you but baby I really hate you. But I can't help it if you won't let it, screaming I can't let you go. You got baggage of your own, but you won't sleep at home. You got baggage of your own.

Inside 03:36
He said listen, this is what she said, "he left me layin' on the motel bed", had nothing left to offer or give, begging for forgiveness, I wouldn't give in. Thinking I would give back what I never had, well guess what you were wrong. Searching all day, looking all night honey just to find that special someone. And now that I have it, can you please help me change my perspective of life? It's so great to have you, come back and meet you, I just don't know what to write. Save it for the inside, save it for the inside. No longer confused, don't ask me what to do.. Why do we use weapons if we have words? It only makes matters worse. Climb up this hill this mountain of mine, I wish you could see what I had to climb. But no you don't think that I'm capable of this... And no you don't think that I'm worth giving a shit. Save it for the inside, save it for the inside. No longer confused, don't ask me what to do..

Building lies between my tounge and when I'm done I'll become a person you can hate even more, and late at night I tuck myself in tight cause nobody wants to do it anymore. How can you be so sure when the world is an open closed door? With a lock on one side, it takes away your pride leaving you on the floor. Danger, danger, I seem to be falling under, and I can't make it through the night, danger, danger, I'm a weapon towards myself and I don't know if i can make it through tonight. And I hold grudges like how I used to hold your hand, so fake and unloving like the person that I am, and tell the ones that you've made cry that soon it will be alright, there's a light shining bright at the end. With two hands around my throat I choke speaking words I've never spoke to you. At my grave I'll still misbehave telling you what to do. Oh danger, danger. Danger, danger, I seem to be falling under, and I can't make it through the night, danger, danger, I'm a weapon towards myself and I don't know if i can make it through tonight. You can break a heart, watch it fall apart, I can lead you on, I can lie awake with blood on my hands and still a smile on my face, cause I'm just that fucked up to care. Care? Danger, danger, I seem to be falling under, and I can't make it through the night, danger, danger, I'm a weapon towards myself and I don't know if i can make it through tonight.

about

"Utopia"- is "An imaginary place or state in which everything is perfect.".-(Oxford Dictionary). Skye Lee's debut album features tracks such as: "Danger, Danger", "Believe" & "Left/Right". The album has 10 tracks. Including, five full band and five solo tracks. Skye wrote this album from just the age of 11, all the way to 17.
By the age of 12, "Believe" was Skye's second song EVER WRITTEN. From topics of: addiction, abuse, heartbreak, death of a siginficant other, having to adult in rehab, jail, fostercare, and other terrifying gut-wrenching situations and more, she achieved to write ten stripped, honest, and tear-jerking songs. At sucha young age, and lacking of resources. Skye tried to release a song for fans and friends to the best of her capablities with such miniscle resources that she had. Her inspiring motivational lyrics. Her depressive,suicidal thoughts. Her addiction trapping her, her abused soul. Her body in broken in a cold white 4x4 walled cell. She wrote these songs to free her emotions, but to also help those who found themselves stuck right exactly in the same spot. While I interviewed Skye Lee. I asked, "What makes you not give music up too? Why do you continue to write songs that rehaunt you with pain from the past?". Her response caught my thick skinned, 28 yearold stocky build off guard. She beautifully said, "This album honestly isnt for me. It's for those who were told/believe that they're not capable of achieving their dreams. You know, he ones who struggle every fucking day. The ones who can't even wake up in the morning and smile that they lived to see another day. I've been told so many times from fans that they are still alive because of my songs/lyrics, or that they're constantly numb. Yet, when they listen to my music, they feel something. I don't know. I play & write music to escape. I just want someone else to feel that magic too. I just want someone else, even if it's just one person. I want them to realize they're not alone. I'm right here, and as low as it gets. We'll make it out alive".
