    This is MJoy's debut solo album, encased in an eco-wallet. When playing live, majority of the time, MJoy is solo & acoustic. But when she writes, she hears a full band in her head. This perfectly balanced joy-inducing pop-rock is the product of 2 heads being better than 1. Producer Justin Vanegas, who has known MJoy since the early college days, heard some stuff in his head too while recording this album. And here you have it! It's kinda like 2 friends made a musical baby. We are proud parents. Let us show off this unicorn to you!

Riding that worry train over and over again Could make you feel so insane but it’s normal it’s normal instead I’ve been wondering what they’re thinking Even when it’s not worth listening How do you like me now? ‘Cause I want you to do it someway somehow The truth is all along Thank if everybody likes you You must be doing something wrong Well I can’t hold back now After taking them taking them blows Could really use my friends now And all of them all of them know All i’ll ever need are my boundaries you don’t like that, I’m not sorry How do you like me now? ‘Cause I want you to do it someway somehow The truth is all along Thank if everybody likes you You must be doing something wrong Don’t get me wrong I want to please But don’t get me wrong, not just to appease you How do you like me now? ‘Cause I want you to do it someway somehow The truth is all along Thank if everybody likes you You must be doing something wrong I’ve been wondering what they’re thinking Even when it’s not worth listening All i’ll ever need are my boundaries you don’t like that, I’m not sorry

It's so late I can't sleep I need something to hold me deep Lay my head on the sheet hear my chest, feel my feet Tell me a secret I will wish I had known Hindsight's 20/20, Gimmie a back bone I wanna be perfect for all of you I have all the answers but I haven't got a clue It might be a lie that I say To myself everyday Reminding that I'll be ok No matter what keep showing up Something is out there much bigger than me I can feel it on the inside, I feel it beneath And you can call it a unicorn, you can call it the sea But I swear you can see it if you need to believe It might be a lie that I say To myself everyday Reminding that I'll be ok No matter what keep showing up Oooh i'll tell you a secret Sometimes i get scared, All i do is my best is that enough for today? I'm held by something that makes sense to me So i'll keep on keeping on 'cause i need to believe It might be a lie that I say To myself everyday Reminding that I'll be ok No matter what keep showing up Oooh

Caught up with you in a voicemail I hope that you know I do so well I wonder what you are avoiding Won’t you call me back, it’s annoying ‘Cause I love you so much I can’t get you out my heart And I’m not going anywhere This is the hard part for both of us We avoid good love The jokes on us again I Like and i Like and I poke back And I make you laugh with a hashtag But it is time to say “i’m sorry” face to face What’s with this modern day last chance And I’ve been hurt before so I stopped keeping score ‘Cause what else to want more than my friend back? ‘Cause I love you so much I can’t get you out my heart And I’m not going anywhere This is the hard part for most of us We don’t trust true love Yeah the joke’s on us We put on pedestals the ones that just Weren’t available So here’s to making plans Like a real friend Always gonna love my baby Enamored there’s no room for shame here Just get out your own way You’ll see that she will stay You take it day by day like you’re meant to ‘Cause I love her so much i can’t get her out my heart And I’m not going anywhere

Get Naked 03:21
Look at me sitting around watching TV At 3pm on a tuesday And suddenly I get an urge and I wanna break free Tell me how I can do that Every once in a while I get a little frustrated My nerves build up, I’m still infatuated While I’m singing this song, here’s what I want you to do Take off your shirt and I’m gonna do the same thing too I know you wanna get naked, yeah! I know you wanna have your back side showin’ ‘cause you don’t care I know you wanna get naked, yeah! In front of everybody that you’re knowin’ showin’ every last hair ‘Cause you don’t care My sexuality is undoubtedly healthy and I’m not afraid to express it So just look at me Like a bitch or a slut Whatever you call it I’m trying to get free, Gotta respect it Sometimes I feel just a little bit silly Whenever I’m alone I want somebody to feel me Although everybody’s here I know what we can do They’ll all squint and stare But then they’re gonna wanna do the same thing too I know you wanna get naked, yeah! I know you wanna have your back side showin’ ‘cause you don’t care I know you wanna get naked, yeah! In front of everybody that you’re knowin’ showin’ every last hair ‘Cause you don’t care The breeze kisses my skin I get feelings where do I begin It’s hot in here, can you feel it? If i could only shed some layers Show off my bod walking down those stairs Tell ‘em all to join Or they can beat it Every once in a while I get a little bit lonely But I know one thing that can really console me And I think y’all know exactly what I mean Since I feel so comfy inside of my skin You know I wanna get naked, yeah! You know i wanna have my back side showin’ ‘cause i don’t care You know i wanna get naked, yeah! In front of everybody that I’m knowin’ showin’ every last hair ‘Cause I don’t care Yeah

Believe It 04:25
My heart is pure You are the cure so When tension sores Why do I fake it? Well never again Will I imagine the end 'Cause my heart is yours For the taking So just take it 'Cause I want all your love And I need all your love Can I have all your love? And i want us to Believe it Friends talk about How they want what we got But sometimes I'm not Givin' it easy... But i've just come to learn The reason I yearn I left myself hungry at the table Sometimes feelings don't fit their labels, it's All your love Can I have All your love 'Cause I want All your love And I want us to Believe it want us to believe in it All my love Don't you want All my love ‘Cause I got All this love And I want us to Believe it I believe

Tal Vez 03:03

Soap dishes the only kind that are in my kitchen so I can’t eat off these plates And i’m still wishin’ that i was a magician and I’d serve you something clean to taste Well my sincere apologies my kitchen has limited seasoning Or maybe this all seems limited to you Might i make a suggestion Your cupboards could use some dusting and I think you’d probably find a helpful root or two A root or two Nothing says it better than your accelerator How you sped away from me But maybe when we get older we’ll see how we were colder & you’ll Warm back up to me I just can’t wait ‘til we’re ready to be free I love your brain, your brain is so big You can power a lighthouse and find a lost twig but When that light is aimed at me I start to feel just a little unsure of myself Start to feel like I should act like somebody else And then there i am making myself the enemy The enemy I really don’t want to fight you, I just wanna make it right So tell me who else baby, is loving you like this? Didn’t think our last would look like that it was a kiss with only half the heart in it But i hold onto the good times not the diss No not the diss Nothing says it better than your accelerator How you sped away from me But maybe when we get older we’ll see how we were colder & you’ll Warm back up to me I just can’t wait ‘til we’re ready to be free Your fear is showing slightly, yeah you seem so ready to fight me But the next time you get love don’t speed away Nothing says it better than your accelerator How you sped away from me But maybe when we get older we’ll see how we were colder & you’ll Warm back up to me I just can’t wait ‘til we’re ready to be free And they’ll say how we sped away...

Life’s too short to hold a grudge on you Life’s too long to not smell roses at least a few But when I want to change you What did I do? Said when I want to blame you, ask myself What did I do? You are too nice To talk to me that way I already know the nature of our thing ‘Cause when I want to blame you What did I do? Said when I want to change you Ask myself what did I do? There’s no way to argue nicely Or neatly just the same Somewhere we get lost, it’s so elementary We all need somebody to blame You are too nice To talk to me that way Life is too short to not talk about these things ‘Cause when I want to change you Ask myself what did I do? Said when I want to blame you, ask myself What did I do? What did I do? Life is too short to not talk about these things

Passion Out 03:07
Talk myself, talk myself out of it The thing I love Procrastinate as I talk all about it When I say I do then don’t I’m only foolin’ me When I say I will then won’t I’m only foolin’ me It’s like talking the passion Out of me t’s like chasing the passion Out of me I wonder why a part of me will agree It’s like talking the passion out Work before, work before we play around Give me a break I deserve something just for being loud That’s what I think When I say I do then don’t I’m only foolin’ me When I say I will then won’t I’m only foolin’ me It’s like talking the passion Out of me t’s like chasing the passion Out of me I wonder why a part of me will agree It’s like talking the passion out I hear many of us having conversations We say things just like “We’ve got a gift inside!” We say things just like “We’ve got a gift inside!” At the bottom of the hill when am I gonna climb? I’m promising myself different this time No more talking the passion Out of me No more chasing the passion Out of me I’ll be puttin’ the work in deliberately No more talking the passion out

Hott Mess 03:17
Every time I look back a year There’s a hott mess What will I say this time next year? Let me guess Coming down now with my blood feeling hotter than hell In spite of myself, just wanna be cool. What can I do now with this teenager inside of myself Who’d love to beat you up after school? But she would never do it. Quiet down now, as a kid it was wrong to be mad So I go to sad easy But i’m learning this is just a part of all of ourselves I’m trying to get glad to be angry When will I ever do it? Every time I look back a year There’s a hott mess What will I say this time next year? Let me guess Every time I look back a year There’s progress What will I say this time next year? Let me guess Check the calendar Which part is a blur? Did it all work out? Are you holding onto something for another year from now? Every time I look back a year There’s a hott mess What will I say this time next year? Let me guess Check the calendar Which part is a blur? Did it all work out? Did it all work out?

Don’t fool yourself, coulda been with someone else But you chose me ‘cause there are parts of you That you wanted to see more clearly And don’t talk to me like I’m dumb Or the enemy ‘Cause you were the only one that set me free to fly You were the only one that set my wings on fire! And I don’t have you figured out in fact I’m the furthest person from achieving that But you play a big part in that Always moving so fast Where you trying to go? “Just keep up if you can” What’s wrong with walking slow? One day at a time One day at a time One day at a time One day at a time Don’t give all your power to me You need to own how you bought these sheets And you laid them on a bed you made It’s big enough for two but It’s still your room And you say that you don’t believe in fate But I knew your name before I knew your face How else do you explain? Always moving so fast Where you trying to go? “Just keep up if you can” What’s wrong with walking slow? One day at a time One day at a time One day at a time One day at a time And you say that you don’t believe in fate But I knew your name before I knew your face How else do you explain?

The Spark 04:16
Something else has caught my eye I think I may have found some life on another planet on another planet. No one's ever asked me why I'm thinkin' I could probably die on another planet on another planet. But how great would it be? Joyous happy free? Friends'll come and friends will go my grieving you will never know on the other planet on the other planet. Lookin' just to get my fix broken until proven fixed on the other planet It'll fix me Why should I believe It's good enough to be right here with me? it's weird to hear the news Do they still write the blues? Something's really got to give i'm guessing we'll just probly live on another planet on another planet? What about our problems here? Will I be able to see more clear on the other planet Will it fix me? We've come so far to say Escape escape escape But what about your heart? Do you let it light the spark? It'll fix me (4 x's) And how great would it be? Joyous happy free?
