One More Time




Lyrics:

She's got that walk
The one that drives you mad
And just wait till you hear her talk
The only good is the bad

And can you take it?
Can you take it one more time?

She's loaded up to the neck
Ain't an ounce of her that's pure
And you never know what she's doing next
Man, I hope that there's a cure

And can you take it?
Can you take it one more time?

All you need is a quick fix
But she's rough down to the core
She's got her own bag of tricks
She'll leave you more damaged than before

And can you take it?
Can you take it one more time?
One more time
One more time

Learn to fly away
Fly away
Fly away
Window

(For my mother)


Lyrics:

Lily-bathed and held tight
Happiness in every eye
Fed on sweets and delight
Would you start to wonder why?

Scratches on the door now
Little tear in her eye, yeah
Birds fly past the window
Is it enough to get by?

Is it enough to say you tried?
Our mouths opened wide.

Split and run to stretch out
Tears are shed in every eye
Stale and old and turned about
Would you start to wonder why?

Our mouths are opened wide
Sometimes she has to cry
And now I know why
The Look in Your Eye




Lyrics:

Hold me too tightly and I'll stay the same
There's just so much power when you whisper my name
And I feel your breath on the lobe of my ear
There's just nothing worse than feeling like you're here

Ruby red lips and a soft gentle sigh
Is there anything more beautiful than the look in your eye?
And I wish I could tell you everything on my mind
But you're turning away from me and leaving behind

Tell me your passions, live all your dreams
Nothing in this life is quite as it seems
You need to let go of all your care
I'll meet you somewhere, somewhere out there

Ruby red lips and a soft gentle sigh
Is there anything more beautiful than the look in your eye?
And I wish I could tell you everything on my mind
But you're turning away from me and leaving behind

I have a secret; I'd just like to say
You are the reason I wake up each day

And those ruby red lips and a soft gentle sigh
Is there anything more beautiful than the way you look tonight?
And I wish I could tell you everything on my mind
But you're turning away from me and leaving me so far...

But those ruby red lips and a soft gentle sigh
Is there anything more beautiful than the look in your eye?
And I wish I could tell you everything on my mind
But you're turning away from me and leaving so far behind

Marta Sheng

Marta Sheng is an aspiring young singer and songwriter from China. Inspired by modern pop artists like Rosé and Aurora, she is carving her way into the bilingual market (Chinese and English) with pop hits that show off her range, timbral flexibility, and even rap skills. Her songs are emotionally heavy with synth highlights, aimed at young adults looking for emotional weight, solid rhythmic pulses, and a true message about the highs and lows of romantic life. While working on her first demo tracks, her following goal will be to produce an EP showcasing her talents.

These songs feature Marta as the vocal artist. "Resize the Universe" was a project for my Berklee Master's course. We were given a tablature sheet and then had to make the song our own. Marta and I revamped nearly everything, and the recording was all done by me, including instrumentals. Marta put in the effort in creating the Chinese lyrics and she sang the vocals, of course. "KongJuan" is Marta's song. She came to me with an idea for it, and we reworked the melody and chords. We recorded the talents of a pianist, and Marta sang.
