Nona’s Recipe
Written, performed and co-produced by Melissa Moshé (ASCAP 2012).
Go ahead and break my heart
Better than being alone on a Saturday night
I’ve been flatlining
For way too long
I never hurt myself
On the field of battle
When I play
Dust flying, sparks igniting
If it fizzles out than I never stay
And I just wanted to be safe (I just wanted to be safe)
I just wanted to let go (I just wanted to let go)
I thought for once
It would be alright
That’s what I get
Going against my own advice
Cuz I always put a dash of salt with my sugar
I put a dash of salt so life’s never too sweet
A dash of salt will always protect me
I keep a dash of salt always close to me
So go ahead and break my heart (Go ahead and break my heart)
With a brush of a hand
And a sideward glance
I wish that I could change the way I am
Finding the sweetness
In an empty hand
But I always put a dash of salt with my sugar
I put a dash of salt between you and me
A dash of salt will always protect me
I keep a dash of salt so the falls not too steep, yeah
So go ahead and break my heart (Go ahead and break my heart)
I’m prepared for our bitter end
I thought for once
It would be alright
That’s just what I get
Going against my own advice
Cuz I always put a dash of salt with my sugar
I put a dash of salt between you and me
A dash of salt will always protect me
I keep a dash of salt always close to me

Left Up To You
Written, performed and co-produced by Melissa Moshé (ASCAP 2012).
It’s been left up to you for so long
Now it’s time to define what’s going on
Relinquished control
Put my life and love on hold
Waiting for you
To decide on what you want
And I’ll find ways to pass the idle time
Patiently wait
Hoping that this will be the day
For you
To finally come to me
Putting my heart at ease
I’ll let you in tonight
All your fears aside
Cuz this is my life
This is my life
And all of these thought racing through my head
Can’t tell between wrong or right
How many nights must I feel this way
Watching time tick on
But I’m stuck in one place
And I want to be with you
But you have to know the truth
You’re running out of time
Come on and make up your mind
Cuz this is my life
This is my life
And I’ll find ways to pass the idle time
Patiently wait
Hoping that this will be the day
For you
To finally come to me
Putting my heart at ease
I’ll let you in tonight
All your fears aside
Cuz this is my life
This is my life

No Past In Mind
Written, performed and co-produced by Melissa Moshé (ASCAP 2012).
I figured it out
It was unclear
Now it’s crystal
I’m done with the blue
Moving on to different colors
Why did I see
Everything so faded?
I’ve been here so long
Tangled up in the debris of this train wreck
Blinders on
Fumbling to put one foot in front of the next
No past in mind
No past in mind
Cuz blue is so boring
Red is too exciting
Green’s always tempting
Black is most inviting
How did I become
So incredibly jaded?
I figured it out
I figured it out
It won’t be long
Til I feel free to wander the streets again
Enjoy my time
With no guilt of not being where I had intended
No past in mind
No past in mind
Cuz blue is so boring
Red is too exciting
Green’s always tempting
But black is most inviting
How did I become
So incredibly jaded?
How did I see
Everything so faded?
I figured it out
I figured it out

Always Be Here
Written, performed and co-produced by Melissa Moshé (ASCAP 2012).
I said
I would always care for you
I said
That your voice would never fade
You were the constant in my life
When scenery changed
You remained the same
Simple and loving
Just in enjoying your days
And I’m sorry if I failed you
I’m sorry I couldn’t make things right
All the time
But I won’t let go
Of the life we once shared
And know that you’ll always be here
Although we have changed
Memories remain the same
And know that you’ll always be here
You’ll always be here
There will be laughter and music again
For now I crave the silence you left
Everyone will leave sometime without fail
Now the doors are all open with quiet regret
Echoes of moments and times that we spent
Linger in the air I breathe tonight
And I’m sorry if I failed you
I’m sorry I couldn’t make things right
All the time
But I won’t let go
Of the life we once shared
And know that you’ll always be here
Although we have changed
Memories remain the same
And know that you’ll always be here
I promise with each passing day
Your voice will never fade
And I know
That you’ll always be here
You’ll always be here
You’ll always be here

Floundering
Written, performed and co-produced by Melissa Moshé (ASCAP 2012).
There’s a reservation for two
And both in the party are certainly unsure
Trying to read each other’s minds
When a simple conversation
Would clear the blurred lines
Take me from this pond
I can’t swim here anymore
I’m a stranger to the land
Show me how it’s done
Cuz you just might be the right man
Dreams of walking down the street hand in hand
And moved by the moment draws a heart in a cement slab
It’s a game of chess with you
I just squint my eyes
And try to figure out your next move
You should just take me from this pond
I can’t swim here anymore
I’m a stranger to the land
Show me how it’s done
Cuz you just might be the right man
I feel the hesitation from you
Rightfully so
Cuz I’m floundering and confused
How simple this would be
If you weren’t so shy
And I
I just wasn’t me
You should just take me
You should just take me
You should just take me from this pond
I can’t swim here anymore
I’m a stranger to the land
Show me how it’s done
So just take me by the hand
And lead this awkward dance
If I could make you understand
That you just might be the right man
For me

One of Those Days
Written, performed and co-produced by Melissa Moshé (ASCAP 2012).
This
Is just one of those days
I used to fight
Now I just walk away
Wish
My head held high
Brush off the shame
Wanting everything to change
No one will ever believe it
Cuz no one will ever see it
Let’s just hide
Under the covers
Let the day pass by
Pretending to slumber
Let’s just hide
And leave it for another day
I’ll mark down the date of change
All the years washed away
Just deal with it tomorrow
My final destination
Is somewhere between right and wrong
Can’t think in these conditions
A stagnate existence
Why won’t they just let me be
This
Is just one of those days
Turning to you
Seeking solace
And all is done in vain
Because no one’s around
Everything has shut down
I can’t fix the disarray
So let’s just hide
Under the covers
Let the day pass by
Pretending to slumber
Let’s just hide
And leave it for another day
I’ll mark down the date of change
All the years washed away
Let’s just hide
Ignore it all but it won’t change
Leave it for another day
Maybe then it will all go away
Just deal with it tomorrow

Nothing’s Changed
Written, performed and co-produced by Melissa Moshé (ASCAP 2012).
Nothing has changed
It’s all the same
Except my hair is down
I don’t recognize my face
And nothing’s wrong
I’m just not myself today
On the verge of tomorrow
Toying with yesterday
The things I thought I knew
The things I thought I knew
Moments lost with you
Are finally reclaimed as the night turns into day
Hours speak the truth
Highlight the years that mark my face
Barricade the doors cause the locks are placed in vain
I’ll tear them down
And watch the dust fade away
Watch it all fade away
This clock isn’t wrong
It’s just man made
It’s always 10 minutes early
I’m still 10 minutes late
And I have tried to refine my ways
I’m just naturally serrated
This edge I cannot change
The things I thought I knew
The things I thought I knew
Moments lost with you
Are finally reclaimed as the night turns into day
Hours speak the truth
Highlight the years that mark my face
Barricade the doors cause the locks are placed in vain
I’ll tear them down
And watch the dust fade away
Watch it all fade away
Close the windows
Draw the shades
Without any effort
Life unfolds anyway
Close my eyes so I can see
And figure it out while I sleep
Fill in the blanks while I dream
The things I thought I knew
The things I thought I knew
Moments wrapped up with you
Are finally reclaimed as the night turns into day
Hours speak the truth
Highlight the years that mark my face
Barricade the doors cause the locks are placed in vain
I’ll tear them down
I’ll stand my ground
And watch the dust fade away
Watch it all fade away
Watch the dust fade away
Watch it all fade away

Untitled
Written, performed and co-produced by Melissa Moshé (ASCAP 2012).
You always used to say that I made sense
I never understood just what that meant
Just a girl with fear in her eyes
Desperately trying to make things right
Couldn’t you see the change in me
Couldn’t hide the love that died
In the summer months that followed
Oh I, oh I didn’t mean to do you wrong
Oh I, oh I didn’t mean to cause you harm
And now you stand before me
Broken down by all the years of vices
And drunk in your eyes
So much to say, only able to cry
Oh I, oh I didn’t mean to do you wrong
Oh I, oh I didn’t mean to cause you harm
Oh I, oh I, Oh
Oh I, oh I, Oh

The Mortar That Binds Us.
Written, performed and co-produced by Melissa Moshé (ASCAP 2012).
When I woke up this morning
It was simply another day
And after one phone call
I realized my life had changed
Today
But the sun feels good today
First time in months
I’ve sat on these stairs
And recognized the worlds grace
Well I’ve been in and out of consciousness all day
As I’m making my way home I know
That remnants of you will remain
And I’ve cried so much today
First time in years
I’ve allowed my tears
To have free rein
And your voice was heard today
And I
I backed away
To face another day
This mourning doesn’t go in vain
Send you on your way

Next Door
Written, performed and co-produced by Melissa Moshé (ASCAP 2012).
He lives next door to reality
In a house that doesn’t quite belong on the street
Newspaper piles document his time
From the day he left
To his current life
Scribblings from G-d
Stacked up high
Binding them tight
No argument or fight
His mind is splintered and scattered
The shades are singed and tattered
Burn their eyes
No beauty will pass
He silenced their mouths
Only questions will last
Scribblings from G-d
Stacked up high
Binding them tight
No argument or fight
Only five feet
To move in either way
There’s nowhere left to go
He had to mentally escape
People pass by
Try to ignore his plight
It doesn’t exist
If it’s kept out of sight
His walls can’t take anymore
Silenced by paint
But they’ve seen it all
Scribblings from G-d
Stacked up high
Binding them tight
Just somebody’s son
Someone’s brother
Got lost in himself
Scribblings from G-d
Stacked up high
Binding them tight
No argument or fight

I Can’t Breathe
Written, performed and co-produced by Melissa Moshé (ASCAP 2012).
Sometimes you can find
The truth in a dare
The danger in a kiss
Sometimes you’re better off not knowing what you may have missed
Seven years makes a difference in my mind
That’s all rational
Or is it my heart that lies?
I don’t want to see the future in your eyes
Dim and dark
Mask it all with candlelight
Cuz I can’t breathe
I can barely move
I want to retreat
I want to be freed of you
Cuz I can’t breathe
I can barely move
I want to retreat
Instead I move closer to you
Well it’s only 4am
The night is still young
Just give me a moment
And I’ll find what it takes
Allow myself to be swept away
Turn the record off
Pretend there’s no tomorrow
Just let life unfold
Ignore the impending sorrow
Wish I could complete a simple thought
This warm September night
Painfully tongue-tied
If only I could let my mind go
But I don’t want to see the future in your eyes
Dim and dark
Mask it all with candlelight
Cuz I can’t breathe
I can barely move
I want to retreat
I want to be freed of you
Cuz I can’t breathe
I can barely move
I want to retreat
Instead I move closer to you
Cuz I can’t breathe
Cuz I can’t breathe
Cuz I can’t breathe
So just let me be

Tonight
Written, performed and co-produced by Melissa Moshé (ASCAP 2012).
If I left right now
Would it make things alright
And all the things I said
Seem to only complicate the night
If I could see things through
Maybe then I’d be worth your time
Wish we met years ago
When you were simple
And I was sweet
Let the world disappear
Cuz you would be all that I need
But as life has progressed
I find it hard to be open and be free
So tonight
Is all I have
To offer you
Say goodbye to all that we will never know
We must
Live our lives wondering how things could have gone
I must be on my way
I must be on my way
