(Deck of Cards) by Ally Katelyn

Shuffle the deck, lay out the cards

There's an ace of spades, a three of clubs, a jack, a king, a queen

Build them up a house, where the royalty is high

Pay a visit to the queen who is the monarch of her sky

But I'm climbing every layer of the house until it all falls down

I lay there on the ground, I don't know what I can do

What do you do when your mind is detached

From any other part of you?

You feel yourself falling down

I try to understand why everything I've known about myself

Has seemed to disappear in a snap

My reflection is the epitome of a stranger

Tides of anger and anxiety keep on

Crashing onto me leaving me helpless from

Escaping the ground

Crawled up in a ball within the dungeon in my mind,

Locked away with all the fears the world throws at me time after time

I ask myself, "Is it gonna get better?"

It's only a matter of time

I feel myself falling down

I feel myself falling deeper in the ground

I try to understand why everything I've known about myself

Has seemed to disappear in a snap

My reflection is the epitome of a stranger

Tides of anger and anxiety keep on

Crashing onto me leaving me helpless from

Escaping the ground

I should be the majesty of my own house of cards,

But all it took was one small push then everything came tumbling down

And every little thing is like the greatest deed I'd ever have to do,

And all I need is someone there to pick me up and guide me through

Shuffle the deck, lay out the cards

There's an ace of spades, a three of clubs, a jack, a king, a queen

Songwriting is one of my strongest passions.

It's been my therapy, my outlet, and my anchor through so many chapters of life. Every lyric I write comes from a place of honesty and healing, and if my music can bring even a moment of comfort to someone else, then I've done what I set out to do.

(eternally we keep) by Ally Katelyn

Some days I talk to the clouds

Wondering, can you see me all the way down here?

Can you see through the crowd?

Your empty spot remains in hope that you are somewhere near

Are you feeling settled in the kingdom in the sky?

Those deer or little birds i see, i’ll say a gentle “hi”

Hoping that it’s just you stopping by

I’m wide awake at night

The paint by numbers that you’d done is right there on my wall

And I fear that my memories will fade to white

As I wish that I had cherished more the days that you would call

Everything’s a little blurry, all at once i’m in a hurry

To cease my growing up from passing by

Eternally we keep you in the forefront of our minds

And though you’ve left this world, you’re never left behind

“We’re here to enjoy today, and that’s what we’re doing. We’re enjoying - the idea that we can be together. We don’t have to worry about what we say to each other, because there’s only one thing that we can say; we love each other, and that’s what’s holding us all together.”

Never left behind

Any funds I've earned from my songs have gone straight to charity, because for me, the heart of songwriting has always been about giving. If my words can make a difference in someone's world, that's more than enough!
