Chapter 3

DragonFly .:. The Challenges

After years of playing live in the Bay Area, touring up and down the west coast, the life she left behind began to catch up with her. Past pain, struggle, tragic loss of friends to overdose, suicide and drunk driving; this
survivor had to slow down and begin to look at what was there. She was running towards her "dreams" and unknowingly from herself. On the journey, the less amicable parts are just as important to have voice, as are the bright and shiny parts. This song was recorded in the bedroom of producer and musician Daniel Lofredo Rota in West Oakland, CA. It is a sonic glimpse into her internal process of that chapter. In a way, this song is a plea from her higher self to remember her original mission and to not try and escape the challenges.

Lyrics:
I remember when I was a dragonfly
And I could sew your mouth shut
In your worst dreams
Though all I ever wanted was to free you
Sometimes we are born into filters
That don't necessarily so serve our best
Don't necessarily so...

Take what you want
Leave the rest
Take what you want
Leave the rest
All that you need
Just confess
All that you need
Just confess, just confess

I'm like a calla lily
Skin smooth light cream
And my stalk is proud and green
And it bends in the wind
But sometimes it strikes me
That what we don't realize, we can't pretend
Yes what we don't realize, we can't pretend

Take what you need
There's no end
Take what you need
There's no end
All that you want
Just confess
All that you want
Just confess, just confess

I'm like the breeze
You can't pin me down
Though I'm all around you
You can feel that which is invisible
But oh so real
That which is invisible and oh so real!

Take all you are
And reveal
Take all you are
And reveal
All that you want
You can feel
All that you need
Is so real

It's infinite, have all that you want
It's infinite, have all that you need
It's infinite, you are complete
