The album will impact digital retailers on June 5th, 2015 and will experience a psychical copy release on June 10th, 2015 via the latter labels. This album release comes as a massive surprise to most listeners of Cristina Lake as this release features no prior promotion or announcements after promotion for the album stopped in 2014. There was no word on the exact reason for the delay and sudden halt on the album and has yet to be explained, leading many to believe that the album had been cancelled and scrapped and that Cristina Lake was starting over, thus meaning a longer waiting period for the popular musician to release new music, but it seems that we were all wrong. Toxic Woman is the follow up to the massively successful and critically acclaimed "Chasing The Renegades", which was released in 2012. Chasing The Renegades. The album, was a depressive work of indie pop art that showed not only the deepest of heartache in Cristina, but her growth from an actress to part time singer to a fully fledged musician with acting talents. The album dug deep down into her inner most thoughts as the dreary ballads and cinematic tracks got across Cristina's demeanor during her time with, and without the deceased Jake Frost and the media scrutiny she'd dealt with before and after his ordeal. The album went on to reach the top of the Album Charts after being critically acclaimed and going onto sell more than 1,700,000 copies becoming a commercial blockbuster and certifying Cristina as a force to be reckon with in music, but more importantly (and positively) the album had given Lake the chance to get off all the weight on her shoulders and open up to her fans. For the remainder of that year, Cristina released 3 more singles off of the album all becoming successes and co-headlined a tour with fellow recording artist Julia Volkova. Since than Cristina began working on the followup to "Chasing The Renegades", quietly settling down and getting straight to recording whenever she had the chance. A small delay on album three was due to Cristina Lake's appearance in two movies in 2013, which caused much time to be taken away from writing and recording the album, for the utmost of 2013 Cristina Lake returned to acting, as she felt her music duties were finalized when she finished her tour with Julia Volkova. Following 2013, as we entered into the first quarter of 2014 Cristina Lake got in full fledged album three mode after all writing was finalized for the new album. Cristina Lake took on the executive duties for Toxic Woman as she has done for all of her albums and wanted to change up her sound considerably for the new album. Lake contacted producers that she felt could get across the vision for the new album, sound wise. These producers include Rick Nowels, Christian Fallon, Reza Vranitzky, Dan Auerbach, Tim Anderson, Shlohmo, and Boaz van de Beatz. On the prior album, many of the records were dreary, depressing and soulless due to Cristina Lake's ordeal at the moment, Cristina stated that after Chasing The Renegades was released, she felt like a new woman since she got to so much off of her chest with the record and even admitted that she didn't like the album because whenever she listened to it, it brought her down. For the new album, she wanted to embrace her new confidence, demeanor and inner self that she searched and found, and it's shown on Toxic Woman. Cristina Lake entered the studio to begin recording the album in late 2013 but of course, had to hold off many studio sessions later until 2014. As her fans waited, Cristina of course released promotional records to rev her fans up for what would be a blockbuster album. These included hit singles too. The first promotional record was "Blinded By The Weakness", the anthemic overcome and dignifying record reached the #2 position on the charts. Following B.B.T.W no word was confirmed on the album. Months later Cristina Lake released another promotional single that is on the album which is called "One Day", the solo version of the record was released and reached the top 10 on the charts. A version featuring fellow rock act Brandon Caulfield is on the final tracklisting for Toxic Woman. Cristina explained that neither of the singles would be leading singles from the album, but would be considered teasers. In late summer of 2014, Cristina Lake began promoting what would be the leading single taken from "Toxic Woman". The record, "Long Distance Lies" was billed as the first single and was released. The single became a big hit, reaching the #1 position. This marked Cristina's first ever number one solo record with her first being "Ballad Of A Vagabond" in which she featured on with Brandon Caulfield. Following the success of "Long Distance Lies", Cristina teased a new short movie that would coincide with the album and that was also called "Toxic Woman". Another promotional track, "Addicted To Broken Hearts" appeared on the internet. The second single of the album, the title track "Toxic Woman" to an acclaim but after the release of that song, all things seem to come to a halt for the album, at least for us. Rumors begin to spread about the fate of the new album, with many worrying if it would ever see the light of day, to our avail, it's here. It seems that after the success of Long Distance Lies, Cristina wanted to take time off from the album and record some more material as she felt she wasn't happy with a handful of records that set to originally appear on the album. Cristina Lake scrapped many of the records, none of which were promotional songs and recorded some new material that would appear on the album. In ordinary Cristina Lake fashion, the blonde beauty took her time to record these records and made sure it would be worth the wait. Many of the songs featured on Toxic woman were recorded secretly in mid 2014, bringing in newer producers including Reza Vranitzky (Imagination, The Beat Inside) that really capture the "Toxic Woman" theme Cristina Lake has essentially gone for this time around. Sonically, Cristina Lake seems to take on a new persona in "Toxic Woman" although staying true to herself and her musical niche. The album is certainly Cristina Lake's most edgiest album to date and even sports an "Parental Advisory" sticker on the cover art. Many of Cristina Lake's earlier works could be looked at as safe, but it seems that Cristina Lake is embracing a sensual, yet tasteful new side. On the cover art, Cristina Lake stares eerily, with her hands over her breasts. Although compelling and quite frankly shocking, Cristina does it in tasteful fashion, not making it come across as overly provocative, but haunting and proclaiming. The artwork was shot in 2014 by Julius Masters. Musically, Cristina Lake dives through numerous genres that she has experimented with throughout her career in her relative alternative fashion. The album surges through genre's including Indie Pop, Indie Rock, Trip Hop, Alternative Rock, Surf Rock, Synth Pop, Chamber Pop but all go hand and hand as Cristina uses her powerful vocals, lyrical abilities and personality to sing about subjects including heartbreak, new found confidence, love, self appreciation and more. Prior to this very day, Cristina Lake also confirmed that the Toxic Woman Film will be available on June 7th, 2015.

TOXIC WOMAN Genre: Indie Pop, Synth Pop Songwriters: Christian Fallon, Cristina Lake Producers: Tim Anderson From The Album: Toxic Woman The fourth quarter of 2014 is in full effect! With many album slated for release before the end of the year music has been more interesting then ever! One specific female who has also been quietly gearing up the release of their new album is Cristina Lake! The last time we heard from Cristina Lake musically she let us in on some very important details having to do with her new album entitled "Toxic Woman". Over a span of time Cristina Lake made it obvious that the album is quite different from her previous work and that this album ventures off in lyrical content and really shows Cristina Lake's layers as a musician. Cristina has stated that the album is her "most adventurous yet" and found that letting go of so much baggage during her last album in 2012's number 1 "Chasing The Renegades", she knew that with this album she had an overall feeling of new found freedom, happiness and inspiration to write and speak about other things and the new album that she named "Toxic Woman" does just that. Cristina has been recording the album for a long time, only taking a brief break to record a hit television series alongside fellow singer Allison Cooper but as soon that was over Lak, got right back into the studio and promised a release before the new year, and Cristina is intent on keeping her promise. It's been a while since the last album and the fans of the singer and actress want to know exactly what she has been cooking up in the studio. In preparation for the album, Cristina released a promotional video setting up the preparation for the album is an appetizer for her supporters. The first single which was entitled "Long Distance Lies" was released on May 25th, 2014 and topped the charts. The song ventured away from any other single that Cristina had done before. Most of her singles derive from heartbreak from losing a loved one. It was a breath of fresh air for her to move onto a different topic of a long distance love turning out to be nothing but a lie, the unique nature of the track gave Cristina Lake her very first #1 solo single and even a nomination for Best Indie/Rock single at the Fan Choice Awards. With the success of Long Distance Lies, Cristina was massively happy and even taken off guard since she wasn't sure if her fans would take to the different subject and it turns out she made the right decision to step out of her comfort zone for the new album as fans are loving the newly confident and sinister like Cristina Lake. Today, we get the latest single before the release of Toxic Woman the album, which is the title track. Toxic Woman is the latest single by Indie recording artist, songwriter and actress Cristina Lake. The record is quite different from previous releases from the Indie princess. On one hand, this is the first time Cristina has worked with producer and songwriter Christian Fallon who played a big part with writing process of the single alongside Cristina as well as with the songs official producer Tim Anderson. With "Toxic Woman", all three wanted to create a track that could pretty much define the album as well and from the very start of the track you get the feeling of a sinister, weary but moving feeling. This is actually one of the first times Cristina has done an upbeat track of this nature but on the bright side, she sounds absolutely flawless and doesn't dare to get lost in the production of the record. In the track, Cristina's highly recognizable haunting vocals croon over a medley of chunky synths, zig-zagging layers of percussion, and random studio noise that mix perfectly dark indie pop beat and even though it may seem different for her, she sounds right at home on this very potent track. Throughout the track Cristina speaks about a very relatable topic and it is quite questionable if Cristina is actually speaking about herself where she sings out lines like: I guess I’m a sucker for the bad guys\Tattoo’s and torn jeans\Bad decisions and real big dreams\But they only seem to lead me to destruction\|But these days I’m embracing the wild\: Maybe even giving us an answer as to her recent behavior or confidence and what not. Cristina sings about embracing the wild and being a Toxic Woman as she's letting go of all regrets and embracing another side in which she's "bad" as she sings using an analogy of smoking away every last regret before smiling and realizing it's just her. To be quite frank, the lyrical content and song is bad ass and continues this new found attitude of Cristina Lake that people are seriously beginning to fall in love with. At one point Cristina was in the shadow of her own self and its so good to see her singing about letting go and sound bad ass as well. Throughout the track Cristina sounds intimidating over the dark uptempoed indie pop/synth beat with a very menacing chorus that could find home on the radio although this is not necessarily what you would call a mainstream record but it is certainly very catchy, tells a strong story and most of all seriously sets us up for Cristina Lake's new album "Toxic Woman". "So good to release the new single off of the album. Seems like it's been longer but it's been four months since the release of Long Distance Lies and I felt September would be a perfect release date for the second single and I chose Toxic Woman as the newest single before the album is released early next month. I got the chance to write with Christian Fallon who is extremely talented at what he does as well as Tim Anderson. I wanted to give my fans something different. Something fresh and for one different then the previous release. Long Distance Lies was more rock driven and very slow. This is more uptempoed, upbeat, confident and really just "carefee" if you will and that's kind of where the album is taking us. It takes us on a carefree journey of letting go and learning from different experiences that really in the end just made me this "toxic" woman. Different experiences changes who you are and I want to embrace a carefree side not only musically but in my personal life as well, and it definitely shows in the music. I'm having fun. This record takes a quick turn from the beginning through the verses and choruses. In the beginning it starts off slow and very depressing and it changes in attitude and I know my listeners will be able to pick that up as soon as they hear this new record. There's so much material on the album that I genuinely enjoyed recording and writing and experimenting with and I just can't wait for you all to hear it and my growth as a musician. Big thanks to Christian and Tim with this one. Hope you all enjoy this and get ready for Toxic Woman's single and then album release! I’m staring from my bedroom window Wondering if I was right to have ever let you go Because now the glow from the streetlight Appears to be the only shine coming through these shades Trying to break through the darkness of my life which seems to just cascade And here I’m standing alone In this whiskey haze I just light a cigarette Smoke away every last regret And ponder why everybody has to leave But I just pout and smile It’s just goes along with the style Baby, this is just me I’m a toxic woman I love passionately and free If you want fairytales and pretty pictures Then your future ain’t with me I’m a toxic woman I love passionately and free If you want fairytales and pretty pictures Then your future ain’t with me I guess I’m a sucker for the bad guys Tattoo’s and torn jeans Bad decisions and real big dreams But they only seem to lead me to destruction But these days I’m embracing the wild No longer empty and sad I’m filled with passion inside So I’ll just light a cigarette Smoke away every last regret And ponder why everybody has to leave But I’ll just pout and smile It just goes along with the style Baby, this is just me I’m a toxic woman I love passionately and free If you want fairytales and pretty pictures Then your future ain’t with me I’m a toxic woman I love passionately and free If you want fairytales and pretty pictures Then your future ain’t with me” Edited by user 05 June 2015 15:20:19(UTC) \| Reason: Not specified

FIRST KISS LIPSICK [center] Genre: Indie Pop Songwriters: Cristina Lake, Kidd Amaze Producers: Shlohmo From The Album: Toxic Woman You said you loved me, I surely did too Around the sun and to the moon I’d like to keep you till I know You’re the one I want until I’m old and gray Just when I was about to go on my way You twirled my hair around your finger And gently grabbed my face When our lips combined, it made a taste of its own It stayed on my lips, the whole drive Home. Because I love your crinkled white shirt, and the smell of your cologne The way you smiled at me after we kissed Now that I’m gone, I really do wish, I could go back, and apply some first kiss lipstick. A few days pass Till I was back in your arms In the city where the traffic was burning fast As we rode in your car I heard a loud sound And thought to myself I think that’s a drum Right there in his chest As you tried to mute the sound With sharp, deep breaths. When our lips combined, it made a taste of its own It stayed on my lips, the whole drive Home. Because I love your crinkled white shirt, and the smell of your cologne The way you smiled at me after we kissed Now that I’m gone, I really do wish, I could go back, and apply some first kiss lipstick. First time is the best time, One you will remember See I have best lines, Give people tremors Old man winter’s Long lost forgotten son I know there are a lot of rappers, But I’m the only one That you recall and look back to Been a lot people that will “holla” at you But I was there to talk Holding hands and going for long walks But I had to go and do the music And you were left alone, I didn’t choose this Truth is I remember when was simplistic Being in my shirt, with that old lipstick I wish I could go back and hold your hand And hear our laughs create that song Go back to when I was just about to go on my way When you twirled my hair around your finger And gently grabbed my face When our lips combined, it made a taste of its own It stayed on my lips, the whole drive Home. Because I love your crinkled white shirt, and the smell of your cologne The way you smiled at me after we kissed Now that I’m gone, I really do wish, I could go back, and apply some first kiss lipstick.

The Key Genre: Indie, Trip Hop Songwriters: Cristina Lake, Christian Fallon Producers: Christian Fallon From The Album: Toxic Woman So I'll lock that door and throw the key, And the heartache that i'll never see will be washed away with the memories of you, And the things you do. Now my friends, they never talk to me, and now my eyes , they start to see that this worlds needs a change of key, But people wont do a thing And you can cry all you want to Just know that I’ll watch over you. Now take me to that place where we can live another day Away from it all.… Take me away….Take me away…. So I'll lock that door and throw the key, And the heartache that i'll never see will be washed away with the memories of you, And the things you do. Pick your head up, Wipe those tears away, Cause we all know tomorrows another day And I know that you will be okay. But, do you ever really want to know .. Do you ever really want to know, the way I feel, And I'm sorry to say this but you’re my Achilles heal… That look in your eyes It draws me closer to you And I know there's nothing I can do But I can see you sit there wondering Cause I know that your avoiding me And now my heart is torn in two Is that a light at the end of the tunnel I see Case that door, its opening for me Bt the irony is that I still have the key…the key… The key to your heart So I'll lock that door and throw the key, And the heartache that i'll never see will be washed away with the memories of you, And the things you do.

BRANDON CAULFIELD) Genre: Indie Rock, Dream Pop Length: 4:56, 4:00 [Radio Edit] Producers: Tobias Wilner, Cristina Lake Songwriters: Cristina Lake 2014 has been quite an eventful year and we are only three months in. Musicians have been racking up music quickly and returning without warning to deliver and satisfy the appetites of eager fans who cannot get enough of their favorite musicians music. Certain musicians have not been heard and years and some are still consistently delivering music without large gaps in between releases. One artist that goes by the name of Cristina Lake, who has certified herself as one of the mainstays and most recognized and respected figures in indie music (and the big screen) finally offers us some new music after quite a while taken off to tend to her acting duties and work on a new album. If you are not too sure who Cristina Lake is, which might be quite surprising then here is a short trail of the type. The beautiful C. Lake arose to fame in 2010 as a well known actress (after appearing in a strain of successful tv shows and movies) always had a dream of singing, the talented star soon had a big break. After signing onto the now defunct Junction Records, the singer released her critically acclaimed debut album "Nola" in 2010 which proved her to be one of the most promising female acts of that time. Following the album's release Cristina took some time off from recording music after personal issues with troubled boyfriend Jack Frost that put the star in the center of a massive media frenzy with Jack Frost ending up dead in the end of a drug overdose. In mourning, Lake took two years off from recording music and bursted back onto the scene when she quietly released the indie cut'The Days You Might Fill With Laughter' that shockingly became one of Cristina's most successful single since the start of her career at that time. Following a string of single releases, Cristina released her followup from 2010's "Nola" called Chasing The Renegades in the summer of 2012. The album, was a depressive work of indie pop art that showed opened up one to the heartache in Cristina was feeling during her problems with the media and the death of Jack Frost, also her growth from an actress to fully fledged musician. The album was a therapeutic diary for that featured cinematic tracks that placed Cristina's feelings during her time with, and then without the deceased Jake Frost. Chasing The Renegades album went on to reach the top of the Album Charts after being critically acclaimed and going onto sell more than 2 million copies. For the remainder of 2012, Cristina releases 3 singles off of Chasing The Renegades and co-headlined a tour with Julia Volkova and was featured on Brandon Caulfield #1 single "The Ballad Of A Vagabond". After the tour Cristina announced that she would be taking some time off in 2013 to work on a new tv show and to not expect her album for some time. To hold her fans off, Cristina released "Blinded By The Weakness" in January 2013, an empowering indie pop jam that showed a strong willed Cristina Lake as she sung about being blinded by weak energy and feeling so much stronger and better. Lake stated that Blinded By The Weakness would be the only the final release she would be making for a while. The single proved to be a success peaking at #2 on both the Airplay and Digital Charts. Later in the year, Cristina was revealed to be a star on HBO's "Consequences" alongside Allison. For the rest of 2013, Cristina remained quiet and to our luck not only was the songstress working on the tv show, but she was also working on new music. "One Day" is the first single taken off of Cristina Lake's soon to be titled third studio album, following promotional single "Blinded By The Weakness" released in January 2013. This marks the official musical return for Cristina Lake. The record was recorded in late 2013 with producer Tobias Wilner and Cristina Lake herself with the record being penned by the artist as well. The record is a beautiful breath of fresh air in today's music where mostly consumed of pop and urban records. Cristina Lake returns with a fresh to the ear, leary and haunting single that showcases Cristina's very best as the artist continues to grow with every single release. The record proclaims the listeners ear from the very first opening seconds with rigid and dark guitar chords that ascends throughout the first 30 seconds of the record. In this time, we were waiting for when Cristina would star singing. Over the already dark sounding track, Cristina lake begins cooing notes over the beat for about six seconds. After she coos the notes, she begins to sing of the opening lines of the song. The guitar grows bigger adding in a bass and a second guitar to the mixture. Cristina's vocals sound haunting and empty, but with full of emotion. Over the dark beats, Cristina begins singing In the quiet of my lonely room\|I sit every night\|And all the thoughts that fill my dreams\|Cry to see the light\|And every dream is filled with you\| I wonder where you’ve gone\| I see your face every day\| Your with me all night long; Cristina gets across the depressing vibe as she sings about dreaming about someone that is now gone. With production that doesn't that isn't massive at all, Cristina's vocals are showcased in the forefront as she continues to sing. The beats then go quieter as Cristina sings the next haunting lines. Cristina vocals mix perfectly with the demeanor of the track as she murmurs; The flowers die And petals fall\| The shadows flicker\| On the wall\| I thought that I\| Had got it all\|Then you went away; As those lines are finished, the sounds go completely silent and just a split second later the single bursts into its chorus with cymbals slamming down onto the track with slow but menacing drums, and guitars come together behind Cristina voice a she sings out over an dark beat: One day we will meet again\| On that far and distant shore\| And holding hands understand\| That no one loved us more\| One day we will meet again\| After the pains and the tears\| One day we will be as one\| After the rain and the fears. Cristina makes it clear that she has hopes in seeing someone from her past once again in the heart pulling lyrics for the chorus. Following the chorus the songs backing beat and instruments take over for about 10 seconds bringing the song to its next chorus where Cristina continues singing throughout the entire track about a missed one in a dark and mysterious track that brings Cristina back into light in 2014, and after hearing it we are excited to see whats he has in store for this new album. Cristina strips down not only in her artwork where she stands there almost lifeless but sings in a stripped down tone in this new record that will spearhead her new album! What do you think? Quote: "One Day" means so much to me. You ever have this feeling in your heart about a loved one that one day you will meet with them again? You have that belief in your heart and soul that although you might have not seen eye to eye and they're not around anymore but you know that one day you will meet again. I felt that this single was one of the most heart pulling and strongest records that I have ever recorded and with this new album I've discovered new things about myself musically. I have been working and recording behind the scenes and concentrating on delivering a new album of quality and delight for everyone for the past year and a half and now we are ready to unveil the first record from the album. I hope you all love One Day, it's the start of a new chapter for me. It's stripped down and to the core, it's mainly focusing on lyrical content and my vocals and I wanted to show that. I did the artwork photoshoot and thought its a stripped down record where I am letting go so why not take off all of my makeup and my top and really show what it is so be stripped down. This is not a glamorous record, its not a prissy song. It's deep, exposed and the first offering of a lot more to come in 2014 from my newest project. Enjoy. Brandon In the quiet of my lonely room I sit every night And all the thoughts that fill my dreams Cry to see the light And every dream is filled with you I wonder where you’ve gone I see your face every day Your with me all night long Fingers interlock and our hands they intertwine Summers pass, the leaves flutter away A reminder of a love that once was mine And I’m hanging on I’m not living, I’m just waiting Endlessly for a second chance of an everlasting love I’ll wait if that’s what it takes I’ll be patiently waiting at the gates of the heaven above The flowers die And petals fall The shadows flicker On the wall I thought that I Had got it all Then you went away One day we will meet again On that far and distant shore And holding hands understand That no one loved us more One day we will meet again After the pains and the tears One day we will be as one After the rain and the fears It’s two long years since you left But you never left my heart Two long years when you and I Have lived our lives apart Has it now come to closing Shall we let it slip away Have all the things I meant to you Just melted in the day The flowers die And petals fall The shadows flicker On the wall I thought that I Had got it all Then you went away One day we will meet again After other loves have gone And looking at each other Will see our love lives on One day we will leave it all And walk through forest lawns Our day will come again Like the sunlight and the dawn I’m not able to take back everything from my past But the past is exactly that It’s not re-writable, the blood and tears will remain But the future is an open book It could be wonderful if you come back to me again We could write something special together A love story that fell apart For two people who weren’t meant to depart The birds fly south The summer dies Love light flickers In your blue eyes I heard again Your sweet sweet lies Then you went away The leaves turn brown And then they fall I thought that I Had got it all I gave my love My heart and soul And then you went away One day we will meet again On that far and distant shore And holding hands understand That no one loved us more One day we will meet again After the pains and the tears One day we will be as one After the rain and the fears Edited by user 05 June 2015 15:25:22(UTC) \| Reason: Not specified

LONG DISTANCE LIES Genre: Indie Rock, Surf Rock Songwriters: Cristina Lake, Devine Michaels, Sergiy King Producers: Dan Auerbach From The Album: Toxic Woman One artist who has prepping the release of a brand new album, is the beautiful Cristina Lake. After her sophomore album "Chasing The Renegades" lit up charts in the summer of 2012, the recording artist and actress embarked in a world tour that ended in late 2012 and following the ending of the tour, Lake took a short break from music to get back to acting and even starred in a TV drama with Allison Cooper that got rave reviews. Over this time, Cristina's fans appetite grew for some new music and Lake then hit the recording studio to come up with the followup to her sophomore album. In March of 2014, Cristina Lake appeared in a single called "One Day" the dark and emotional record sparked some controversy due to it's artwork that had Cristina in a black wig, makeup less and in a bra. Cristina dismissed the controversy calling it a part of the intimate and truthful nature to the song and so let go of the clothing in the artwork and further dismissed it by saying she in no way was trying to look or be sexy in the artwork. Although the single fared very well with critics, the record didn't exactly connect with fans as the single only reached the 11th position on the airplay charts, although mainstream appeal has never really been this young stars mission as she's stated numerous times. The single strayed away from what people were used to from Cristina as it featured heavy guitars and came across as "too hard" for Cristina. But of course, that never stops a musician from releasing music and especially not Cristina who continues to learn from her craft and she's getting ready to release new music today for us. After releasing "One Day" and recognizing the appeal it had with her audience, she decided to release a new single on May 25th, 2014 from her upcoming soon to be titled third album set to be released in the summer of 2014. Long Distance Lies is the newest single from recording artist Cristina Lake set to hit radio stations, digital outlets and will be available for streaming on May 25th, 2014. The record was written by Cristina Lake, Devine Michaels an Sergiy King with production from Dan Auerbach. The record gets back to Cristina Lake's roots and has a very catchy vibe to the beats but in no way touches the pop mainstream landscape, but can sit comfortably on radio stations as a indie jam. Cristina sounds much more authentic on this record and "more at home" so to say with the laid back beats and guitar riffs that cause Cristina Lake to really showcase her hallow and big vocals as opposed to the overwhelming-ness of the previous record. "Long Distance Lies" also tells a very compelling tale of love and heartbreak. Have you ever watched catfish? Or had a long distance relationship? You never know who is a thousand miles away from you but you can't seem to get enough of them. Are they who they really are? Or are they telling you all the truth? This story is told here in "Long Distance Lies" as Cristina Lake brings her vocals over the slow and suspense filled indie rock production that can only keep a listener well attentive as she continues this tale. In the record Cristina sings about a a girl who falls deeply in love with someone long distance but everything comes crashing down when everything that, that person says they are turned out to all be a lie and at the end of it all, that girl takes it as a learning experience to become a stronger person and that's exactly the point Cristina is trying to get to in the new record. This is also a breath of fresh air for listeners of Cristina Lake as she's venturing off to a different and well compelling topics for this new album and not staying stuck on the death of Jack Frost. Years have past, the ache might still be there but Cristina is ready to move on musically and that is shown here in the new record. The record starts off with a quick and spicy drum and symbol opening that quickly turns in a melodic atmospheric backing beat that adds in surf guitar riffs and drums giving the opening beat a very expressive and interesting intro. About 20 seconds pass and Cristina begins singing and telling the story of this girl who is in love, a love that resides behind screens of cell phones and computer screens. Her voice is whispery, sexy and captivating in true Cristina Lake nature. Cristina continues singing adding in \|Long distance doesn't feel so long after all\| meaning that when you're talking to a person with long distance, it doesn't actually seem all that far away in the end. The story is just starting as Cristina sings continuing on, explaining that the girl has been lost in fantasy and tossed reality. Believing that everything this person was offering was authentic and true, and the love she felt for him was infinite. As finishes the final line, the song breaks down and slows down adding in a much more eerie vibe as with the drums slowing, surf guitars slowing and even the dark backing beat. Cristina lake coos out Ooooh Oooh Baby Ah La La and breaks into the chorus as she sings as if she is speaking to the person that the girl has fell in love with. Singing out: She was your superstar, ended up in a jar\| Giving you her all, unprepared for the fall\|Even though she showed herself, stripped naked from head to toe\|She was just another used bottle abused by lies\| She was part of a lie, set apart by distance; As she tells the deep tale of the girl being a superstar that was stripped naked showing her true self to this person she was in love with a thousand miles away and in the end it seemed to all be a lie. Cristina lake sounds very seductive when she sings these parts but at the same time captivating and serious and in a manner in which you can tell she is telling a story. As she sings the chorus, the beats sways nicely behind her mixing her vocals very well with the production values presented. As the chorus rides out the beats pick up once again as to where they were when the song first started before the chorus. In the next part of the song. Cristina gives an insight into the girl and the after math of this deep story of lies. Cristina explains that the girl was crushed by the fantasy she had in her mind of falling in love with someone so far away and rushed back to the reality of what it really was. Cristina sings in the same manner she did in the previous verse, seductively but seriously with her hallow but laid back vocals. She continues to speak as if she is speaking to the person who committed the long distance lie and explains that the guy is the girls first true heart break (worst one) and even goes on to sing to sing out: You’ve missed your chance being the first to ever hear words I love you\|; and continues to explain that they still insisted in lying, causing this poor girl to be broken in to little parts. The beats of the track then pick up a bit more as Cristina tells a more positive aspect of the story as it passes the climax, its now the aftermath. She then begins to sing explaining that the girl learned from her mistakes and that it's an experience to make someone just a stronger person as she murmurs: She’s going to spread her wings, spring away\|Fly 1,000 miles just to forget those debts\| Memories are treasured but you’ve became a displeasure. The beats then slow down and Cristina gets back into the chorus. Following the chorus she continues to sing about the girls uprising and how she will realized that it was all a lie and that in the end it made her stronger. The song then hits the chorus once more before it rides out. Cristina Lake tells a story of a long distance relationship. Who's the person behind that screen? Are they really all they are saying that they are? Is it a lie? Is it a Long Distance Lie? Cristina's new single hits story on the 25th! Let us know what you think! Behind a screen, 1,000 miles she smiled A love so strong, feeling wronged Long distance doesn't feel so long after all She’s been lost in a fantasy, tossed from reality The love she felt for you was infinite Ooooh Baby Ooooh Baby Ah La La She was your superstar, ended up in a jar Giving you her all, unprepared for the fall Even though she showed herself, stripped naked from head to toe She was just another used bottle abused by lies She was part of a lie, set apart by distance She was crushed by a fantasy, rushed back to reality You were the first hun to enlist as the worst one You’ve missed your chance being the first to ever hear words I love you That wasn't enough to keep you from bluffing Tearing her heart into little parts That won’t stop her from getting up, letting go You’ve broke her heart, choked her pride but made her strong She won’t let 1,000 miles bring her down Heart break is the worst ache but experience is the best wake She’s going to spread her wings, spring away Fly 1,000 miles just to forget those debts Memories are treasured but you’ve became a displeasure Ooooh Baby Ooooh Baby Ah La La She was your superstar, ended up in a jar Giving you her all, unprepared for the fall Even though she showed herself, stripped naked from head to toe She was just another used bottle abused by lies She was part of a lie, set apart by distance A lesson gives her reasons Beyond a screen, you’ve become a scene She can now foresee the lies She’s become stronger than ever Oh yeah, yeah, yeah She won’t let 1,000 miles bring her down Heart break is the worst ache but experience is the best wake And now she has woken Ooooh Baby Ooooh Baby Ah La La Ooooh Baby Ooooh Baby Ah La La She was your superstar, ended up in a jar Giving you her all, unprepared for the fall Even though she showed herself, stripped naked from head to toe She was just another used bottle abused by lies She was part of a lie, set apart by distance

ADDICTED TO BROKEN HEARTS Genre: Indie Rock, Pop Songwriters: Cristina Lake Producers: Rick Nowels From The Album: Toxic Woman Cristina Lake has been revving up to release her third studio album entitled "Toxic Woman" over the past few weeks and anticipation surely has been growing. This suddenly "new" and confident Cristina has stated that the album will be her most diverse and unapologetic yet and after releasing the critically acclaimed "Long Distance Lies" that became Cristina Lake's first number one single, her fans have been excited to see what will come with the album. For one, they need not to expect a massively depressed songstress dwelling on the past as she's done on her last record and Cristina has stated that she has gotten over that hurdle in life and has finally moved on. And to be honest, that has been shown in her recent actions. The once anti- social network diva has recently posted pictures on social network and has started to connect with her fans more, and to be honest the fans appreciate it and it has shown. Cristina had opened up to her fans in an update from her official website just last week to give an insight onto the new album and her single Long Distance Lies. If you haven't gotten a chance to get wind of it, you can read it below. Quote: Hi everyone! I have just rapped up my third studio album last week and I am so excited to release this new material to you all. I just shot the artwork yesterday! This album is my most adventurous album yet. It's musically most most edgy record it's fresh and it's a body of work that reflects my growth as an artist. With my last album Chasing The Renegades ...I was going through a very dark time and when I reflect now, I love that record because I was able to let out alot of sadness I had bundled up and I was telling a story. But at the same time I felt that the album was quite one dimensional, you know? I'm being honest. We all continue to grow as artists and I rather speak truthfully to you now in this message as opposed to lying. I am naturally a perfectionist. Most of you know majority of the album was about Jack Frost when I was mourning his death, I will always miss him but I have come to term with his death now. I realized that I have to move on in my life, and I've I felt that it was time for me to truly pull myself up and start enjoying life, you only live once! I've had fun writing this new album, and I feel it's my best work yet. It's a lot more diverse in lyrical content and subjects and I felt the last album lacked that. Long Distance Lies was a record I wrote after being inspired by a show called Cat Fish, isn't that something? I watched it, and realized how deep that is. Having a relationship with someone so far away and being betrayed by them? It's a crazy situation and hurtful too. I released the song and it became my first #1 single. Thank you so much for the support. I've never been a chart junkie but it sure feels good knowing you all like the new material, and it showed me what I needed to do was broaden my music lyrically. Go other places! And this album I am letting go completely. It's risque but sophisticated. It also has a lot of spirit and energy, even the big ballads. You'll all understand when the album is released in a few months . It' titled "Toxic Woman" and it will be released in August. But that's all I am going to say. Over the next few weeks I'll be releasing some more music and I'll be doing interviews having to with the album and it's initial trek to it's finalization. So if you think I am being a bit narrow with details now that's because I don't want to spill out all the details just yet! I wanted to peak in and say hi, update everyone and say thank you and say that the album is really something I am very proud of and it's well on it's way. I hope you are as excited as I am. Let's do this. Enjoy this video. Another treat in the making maybe to go along? Who knows. Enjoy. Exciting news isn't it. But today we have gotten our hands on some brand new material taken from the Toxic Woman album and Cristina surely is "toxic" so to say with the subject of the record. "Addicted To Broken Hearts" is a sinister and sultry pop fused indie rock jam that shows Cristina in a totally different light and like we've never heard her before as the picture for the third studio album starts to take shape! With a bit of a change from her single Long Distance Lies. Cristina, who often plays the victim in her records, or on the receiving end so to say completely turns the tables here as Cristina plays as a devilish heart breaker that feeds off of breaking hearts or men. The record that features rigid electric guitars and a catchy backing beat, Cristina sounds sultry and devilish as she sings about being scarred in life, which is why she in turn dwells off of breaking hearts. Cristina vocals goes perfectly well with the western feel of the song, and although her first real uptempo'ed record, her hard but sultry vocals mix well with the initial production of the record as well as the lyrical content. This song will be apart of Toxic Woman, enjoy it below. Quote: Addicted To Broken Hearts is my first real uptempo'ed record actually, like, my first song that you can actually dance to and feel bad ass to and to be honest, I felt so bad ass writing this record. I don't know what's gotten into me but alot of the records on Toxic Woman are bad ass and this really fits the theme well for the Toxic Woman album as a whole. I came up with this subject because I thought, I am actually writing about being heart broken, but how about turn the tables. Us girls get tired of being heart broken, let us play as the heartbreaker and it's alot more to the story here on the song. It's not just about being a heart breaker it goes deeper than that. It's sort of a way to sooth ones self after being so betrayed in life by an opposing sex that now all you want to do is break hearts, and you get a rush. I got in the studio with Rick Nowels again and really wanted to create something production wise that I didn't do before. A big, indie rock and pop jam. Something that is sinister, something that is playful and catchy and we brainstormed and this really came up. I know the fans will love this, they have been loving my change up in sound and there's alot of other surprises on Toxic Woman, so exciting. Enjoy this. They call me a star in the sky Unreachable, shining in the night Stealing the keys one by one Opening up all these hearts As I give mine to none This won't be another love song Of promises soon made to be broken There's nothing left to break inside I guess that's why I do it It makes me feel alive I'm so addicted to broken hearts The pain, the tears, the scars The sound when it shatters The moment everything falls apart I'm so addicted to broken hearts The pain, the tears, the scars The sound when it shatters The moment everything falls apart I really wish I could love them The way that it is supposed to be But this life has made me so numb Their tears taste so sweet As mine are all dried up This won't be another love song Of promises soon made to be broken There's nothing left to break inside I guess that's why I do it It makes me feel alive I'm so addicted to broken hearts The pain, the tears, the scars The sound when it shatters The moment everything falls apart I'm so addicted to broken hearts The pain, the tears, the scars The sound when it shatters The moment everything falls apart I know something's wrong Wish I could make myself stop But their pain and screams Are giving me this rush I'm so addicted to broken hearts The pain, the tears, the scars The sound when it shatters The moment everything falls apart I'm so addicted to broken hearts The pain, the tears, the scars The sound when it shatters The moment everything falls apart Edited by user 05 June 2015 15:26:33(UTC) \| Reason: Not specified

I scream and yell, cuss and spit I sometimes wonder why you waste your time on my suspense It's a crying shame It's the silent pain When I play the quiet game The quiet game, The quiet game It's a crying shame It's the silent pain When I play the quiet game The quiet game, the quiet game And then you vanished in the night Your silence broke like rain "It's not whether you win or lose, but how you play the game." 'cause tomorrow, I'll hear nothing And I'll be wonderin' What I did to chase your love away It's a crying shame It's the silent pain When we play the quiet game The quiet game, the quiet game It's a crying shame It's the silent pain When we play the quiet game The quiet game, the quiet game 'cause silence, never been good at that I screamed and yelled, cussed and spat Goes to show we both play the game, and I chase you back It's a crying shame It's the silent pain When we play the quiet game The quiet game, the quiet game It's a crying shame It's the silent pain When we play the quiet game The quiet game, the quiet game Edited by user 08 June 2015 12:41:43(UTC) \| Reason: Not specified

AGAINST A TIDE RUSHING IN Genre: Indie Pop Length: 3:30 Producers: Cristina Lake, Christian Fallon Songwriters: Christian Fallon, Cristina Lake [I know that I can be a little distant sometimes And that I’ve only learnt to wear my heart on the inside My head it spins around with all kinds of scenarios The worst of which is the thought of letting go I can be lonely even with you by my side But I don’t realize that it makes you feel lonely too And for that I apologize to you I can’t explain the things that I do I don’t even know why I do them anyway But when I’m sat alone in the garden looking a little lost Please feel free to step in the way And show me that there’s something special Beyond the thoughts that envelop my screwed up mind Because although there will always be a darkness There’s something else that we could find So will you stay with me And will you stay here by my side Will you stay forever with your hand held in mine As we fight together against the rushing tide Because it tends to get dark When everything feels empty and alone I sometimes just need a little spark To make me feel warm But I know that I can make you feel lonely I know that I can make you feel sad I know that I can make you feel happy again I know that I can take it away and make you feel bad I may make you feel punished for something that you ain’t even done But if you stay with me If you look past all of the things that I have done Just know one thing I ain’t ever gonna run So will you stay with me And will you stay here by my side Will you stay forever with your hand held in mine As we fight together against a tide rushing in If you hold on just a little longer I know that we could win And when it tends to get dark An everything feels empty and alone Sometimes we all just need a little spark To make us feel warm

STAY YOUNG Written by: Cristina Lake, Corin Roddick, James Urie Genre: Dream Pop, Indie Pop Length: 3:43 Producers: Corin Roddick We turned twenty-one Old enough to drink whiskey And old enough to get married if we wanted to But still young enough that we would Hurt from the love bruises Even though falling was easy to do Boy those were some good times At least that's what we thought When we were getting along oh so well You said to me baby let's stay young The cologne you wore smelled so divine We honeymooned at that lake house A permanent souvenir Never knowing reality would undo us in time Good times in our bed Is what held our lives together But it was all a masquerade We had only the present Maybe not even a future We had to lie in the bed that we made You said to me baby let's stay young The cologne you wore smelled so divine We honeymooned at that lake house A permanent souvenir Never knowing reality would undo us in time More secrets as you got older We shrank from confidence Though we did our best not to fall With nothing to show for it And nothing to say for one another Did thoughts of another cross your mind? I could not stand it any longer And I needed to find me And I think you went and found her I will always remember The time you said to me Baby can we stay young You said to me baby let's stay young The cologne you wore smelled so divine We honeymooned at that lake house A permanent souvenir Never knowing reality would undo us in time

LIVE MYSELF TO DEATH Written by: Cristina Lake, Kay Stevens Genre: Indie Pop, Chamber Pop Length: 4:40 Producers: Dan Auerbach Hopeless state, soul is dead You’ve gone too far from me God please mend my heart it hurts My love has crossed the sea Alone in crowds, my scrambled brain Rehearsing the time to die Without the drugs that keep me sane Sad and alone drop by And guess what’s important to me now The things that make the most sense In a fickle world of craziness Pour me some bourbon, light me a spliff And excuse me while I live myself to death Depression seemed to set the mood These daggers in my mind I sweep the floors with loneliness Oh love that left this land Breathing a world without you here An unfamiliar taste Paints the walls with a drunk embrace Devoted, now replaced And guess what’s important to me now The things that make the most sense In a fickle world of craziness Pour me some bourbon, light me a spliff And excuse me while I live myself to death When it’s in the pit of your stomach And you think it’s going to last forever Take small breaths And when the ripples of emotion Makes you shudder in waves You know, in the end, you’ll grow from this Nails are bitten down Skin ripped and bleeding Because this nerve of ours is wearing so so thin And your familiar face screams regret Tear it away, along with all the memories Nothing seems important to me now Nothing in this life makes much sense This world is a sh*t full of crazy But tonight I need some jack, jim, smoke a spliff Excuse me while I live myself to death Join me while I live myself to death Join me while I live myself to death -Dance Break- Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey

EVERYTHING GLITTERS Written by: C.Lake, C.Fallon Genre: Electro Pop, Indie Pop, Dancehall Length: 3:20 Producers: Boaz van de Beatz "The night draws upon us and we’re ready for it now Anticipation is building as the clock ticks down We throw on our necklaces and check ourselves before we go We’re ready for the unexpected, just move with the flow The night could take us where we want, to a place we’ve never been The echo of the strip tonight is enough to tempt us in Walking around these streets in the breeze of the weekend nights Clubs are glimmering in the distance all paved with neon lights Things will start to flow and our inhibitions will be fading Impossible to resist when the alcohol is cascading You start the night with a group of friends and promise to stick together But soon enough your distracted by the boy with potential to be foever Like an eerie dark angel that you can’t resist He draws you in with those perfect lips Inhibitions are fading Alcohol is cascading The music is beating loud We’re somewhere in the crowd Let’s live like there’s no tomorrow Like there’s no worries for you and me Baby there’s no tomorrow So what will be will be Everything glitters here in the dark The flickering glow draws you in like a spark Everything glitters all through the night And for a brief moment, you know everything will be alright Everything that glitters is not gold But you lose track of your senses and forget what your told Everything glitters and flickers in the dark For your eyes only it creates a carefree spark Don’t know where we’ll end up tonight It doesn’t matter if we just follow the light Shining in the distance like it’s calling us home There’s streets our made for us, they’re ours to roam Mixed with good intentions when there’s something in the air His beauty is clear for everyone to see He takes hold of my hand, he say "You're coming home with me" Inhibitions are fading Alcohol is cascading The music is beating loud We’re somewhere in the crowd Let’s live like there’s no tomorrow Like there’s no worries for you and me Baby there’s no tomorrow So what will be will be Everything glitters here in the dark The flickering glow draws you in like a spark Everything glitters all through the night And for a brief moment, you know everything will be alright Everything that glitters is not gold But you lose track of your senses and forget what your told Everything glitters and flickers in the dark For your eyes only it creates a carefree spark"

BLINDED BY THE WEAKNESS Written by:* C.Lake, J.Morello, R.Nowels Genre: Indie Pop, Baroque Pop Length: 4:30 Producers: Rick Nowels Blinded By The Weakness is the leading single taken off of Cristina Lake's forthcoming third studio album which is soon to be titled and given a release date. When you first think about the title and the circumstances of Lake's, you would possibly think she is offering us the same anger, sadness, and depression she offered on her previous release but by the surprising side, Lake, who is always offering her fans something fresh and something to look forward to seems to have found one with herself, not only musically but mentally as well as she still delves into the darker and mysterious side of Indie pop music. The track starts off with a roaring, tribal beat that is quite surprising and much more proclaiming than the first single taken off of her previous album. Seconds of this catchy beat mixed with the an aggressive bassline, clapping percussion's, and pounding before the "big sound" slides away with just a more suttle tribal beat taking over as Cristina starts singing. Cristina has this powerful croon to it, as she sounds strong, but vulnerable at the same time. She sings the opening lines of the track as she opens up about her past: Once upon a time I was living like a shadow Clutching pictures to my chest; Holding out the pieces of this mess; And nobody could help me I was tumbling further to the ground, deafened by this empty sound; Love abandoned; Love no more; I was holding back like never before\| It is evident that this is a page out of Lake's diary as she sings about her depressions in past tense. Her voice sounding nostalgic as she hauntingly sings with the bass pounding behind her. After Cristina finishes singing the first part of the track a few seconds pass without Cristina singing as she lets the backing beat take over. Mere seconds later, she continues with her story. Cristina makes it as if she is having a conversation with the listener as she begins singing the next part of the song: My friends were there at the start\|Tryin’ to fix the pieces of this vulnerable heart But the more they tried\|The harder I cried\|And I pushed them further and further away\|Longing for the love of a yesterday\|But love didn’t come\|It left a gaping hold\|I stared into the abyss Ready to fall; She continues on, with these simple, yet complex lyrics about being heartbroken and wanted a love that came with yesterday. It's odd how whatever Cristina sings we automatically think it's something linked to Jake, but that's only our assumption as she holds her strong vocals to the track with the beats still staying stable. However, after she finishes the last line: "Ready to fall". The beat begins to pick up. The clapping beats finds it way back onto the track and the bass becomes harder. Cristina adds an edge onto her vocals, making a prowess growl as she opens up the next part of the song. Behind this building beat with percussion's holding up along with the bass , Cristina coos out in her latest chronicle. But everything changed\|I saw the reflection of who I had become\|The shadow of a former person\|But now I feel like I’m growing young\|I was in the mire\|Lost without my one desire\|But I heard an old familiar song\|It was calling out for a fighter and defender\|And I realized in that moment; These powerful lyrics that hit you even harder with Cristina's yearning vocals, is only building up for the chorus of the song. Cristina then belts out \|That I could be the great pretender\| the building beat then restrains for a miliseconds and the beat bursts into the captivating chorus catching off guard with Cristina voice belting as soon as the chorus slams along, with each of the instruments coming together for a instrumental drop. Cristina sings with all her emotion backed with the heavy tribal and organ following. \|I was blinded by the weakness, But all things must heal over time;\| Cristina yells out. The instrumental drop then slams across the track once more. She then continues: \|I’m no longer wandering the lonely streets\|Reminiscing about a love that once was mine\| And instead I’m looking forward; Cristina makes it known that she's finally coming to one with herself with these truthful lyrics. The instrumental drop that is followed by the organ and tribe beats that seem to never get old, slams down on the chorus again as Cristina continues. With eyes of optimism\|I can see everything that surrounds me\|Not just that tunnel vision. After that is said, the beats finally settle down as the chorus ends. Cristina gets across the message that those old days are behind her, she's looking forward. The days of sadness is now coming to an end. She's finally finding her footing, she can see clearly. These deep lyrics continue throughout the the next verse of the song. Where she sings about although she will always face pain and finally be able to be okay and feel happy again. The serious beat mixes perfectly with not only the theme of the song but with Cristina's vocals throughout the next verse as well. She sings about optimism with her vocals becoming bigger \|But things do get better in time\|That’s what I’ve learnt along the lonely roads\|I can start this path to the brightest of new futures\|And I may very well fall along the way\|But I know that in the end I will be okay\| Singing that she has learned from her experiences, it's time to see the light, and not the dark. She beats out "I will be okay" as the song unleashes into an instrumental with the haunting instruments and beats carrying us over the bridge. The clapping beats, tribal percussion's, and powerful bass gives the listeners a pure instrumental thrill. The beats then build once more, as Cristina sings powerfully the pre-chorus. Just as she did before she sings as the beats are building up and bursts into the chorus. This time, you can hear that Cristina brings her all for the chorus, as the beat slams, followed by Cristina singing two lines, and it slams once more and does it again for the next two lines and for the chorus two times in a row. With the big instruments backing Cristina, she finishes the final line and the song comes to a haunting stop as it fades away to the end. Quote: This is a very exciting moment for me. With this song...and all the new material I have as a whole..I want to give my fans the truth. I want my fans to be able to relate to me and my story, this track is so special to me because it's how I am feeling, it gets back to me. No longer can I sing about being in depression and sadness because I no longer feel that way, I do not wish to feel that way. We all go through pain, deep pain for some of us and now it's time for me, or the person going through the same issues I have...to find ways to be able to pull yourself up and actually say to yourself you can overcome and you can find one with yourself. It's best to be truthful with your music and although the initial sound of this track may sound dark once you listen to the lyrics and really marinate in what I am saying you can see that this is not only about finding happiness, but about finding power, and achieving obstacles. I didn't want this to be the overly used "I'm feeling happier" record because that wouldn't be truthful. Things take time...and I wanted this to be of quality and truth and my reality. All of my past tracks speak of the truth, but I've never felt so in tune with a record like how I feel about this one especially as well as the new set of music I have coming. I'm excited for everything to come, and I hope when my fans hear this..they will be too. Cristina Lake returns with this powerful track off of her upcoming third studio album. What do you think of this authentic track? Beat Building - Italics Chorus - Bold Once upon a time I was living like a shadow Clutching pictures to my chest Holding out the pieces of this mess And nobody could help me I was tumbling further to the ground, deafened by this empty sound Love abandoned Love no more I was holding back like never before My friends were there at the start Tryin’ to fix the pieces of this vulnerable heart But the more they tried The harder I cried And I pushed them further and further away Longing for the love of a yesterday But love didn’t come It left a gaping hold I stared into the abyss Ready to fall But everything changed I saw the reflection of who I had become The shadow of a former person But now I feel like I’m growing young I was in the mire Lost without my one desire But I heard an old familiar song It was calling out for a fighter and defender And I realized in that moment That I could be the great pretender I was blinded by the weakness But all things must heal over time I’m no longer wandering the lonely streets Reminiscing about a love that once was mine And instead I’m looking forward With eyes of optimism I can see everything that surrounds me Not just that tunnel vision Pain will always show That’s something that I’ve learnt to accept But I can paint over my open wounds And feel okay without regret Because in life it can be hard to smile But you can come out of the darkest of places It doesn’t mean you should forget About all of those familiar faces But things do get better in time That’s what I’ve learnt along the lonely roads I can start this path to the brightest of new futures And I may very well fall along the way But I know that in the end I will be okay ** A long time ago, everything changed I saw the reflection of who I had become The shadow of a former person But now I feel like I’m growing young I was in the mire Lost without my one desire But I heard an old familiar song It was calling out for a fighter and defender And I realized in that moment That I could be the great pretender I was blinded by the weakness But all things must heal over time I’m no longer wandering the lonely streets Reminiscing about a love that once was mine And instead I’m looking forward With eyes of optimism I can see everything that surrounds me Not just that tunnel vision [2x] TOXIC WOMAN IS IN STORES NOW!**

Cristina: That is a massive compliment, Ms Tisha Jackson! Thank you! Hearing something like that is definitely good to hear :) OOC: Thanks so much :) I try to make each of my albums flow as if they were real, makes it seem so much more realistic. Thanks for checking this out!
