lyrics

Please, do not pester me with your visions. 

Never ask me to be more like her; awkward stares escape through the floor. 


Don't laze around spouting conditions. 

It is never good enough when it's not yours. 

Run over me with more than you can afford.

No. no, no, no (3x) No.

I'm up on your stage inside my cage screaming out all your songs. 

Please come let me out; let me crawl down to a place I belong.
There is a difference, I'm not a circumstance, you're not hearing what I have inside. 

I want you to know that I'm fighting to stay in this life.

When we disagree just blame it all me.

I'm like a branchless tree and I can feel phantom leaves slowly dropping.


My knees are sinking into barren ground.

Don't underestimate my thoughts or doubt me just because I'm not as loud.

No. no, no, no (3x) No.

I'm up on your stage inside my cage screaming out all your songs. 

Please come let me out; let me crawl down to a place I belong.
There is a difference, I'm not a circumstance, you're not hearing what I have inside. 

I want you to know that I'm fighting to stay in this life.

I'm up on your stage inside my cage screaming out all your songs. 

Please come let me out; let me crawl down to a place I belong.

I'm up on your stage inside my cage screaming out all your songs. 

Please come let me out; let me crawl down to a place I belong.
There is a difference, I'm not a circumstance, you're not hearing what I have inside. 

I want you to know that I'm fighting to stay in this life.

I hope that you know that I'm dying...to live in your life.

Michelle Romary Cleveland, Ohio

Described as having "...incredible songwriting ability and amazing vocals,” Michelle's stories shine through her carefully scripted, introspective lyrics, while encased in soaring, multi-octave melodies. “…it’s refreshing to hear music that sounds as good live as it does recorded. Romary is the real deal…” - Cleveland Scene. Michelle has released new, original, pop-rock music each year since 2012. ... more
