By way of a 12-track journey into her mental and emotional landscape – one marked by heartbreak and sadness, but also triumph and growth – ‘Ch. 1 Vs. 1’ is a record of what one writer calls “the unfolding of a self,” of what it means to do away with the pretense and masks we often wear as a means of survival. It’s eclectic, but not in a nice-nasty way “eclectic” is often used to convey displeasure. Rather, it’s the perfect soundtrack to a still-unfolding talent ready to be seen in her fullness, beyond the stage and screen and high fashion red carpet gowns and extravagant nail art. “Just as me, Cynthia,” she says.

Lyrics:
Gone is the way we used to smile my dear
Hope doesn’t spring from anywhere
Watching the world forget to breathe
Wish we could stop and feel the breeze
But I know there’s no point in waiting for what I can’t see
Holding my chest as all my tears fall out
My mind’s in a spin as all the pain pours down
What can I do to make these days go by
I haven’t the strength to make the rainfall die
Just wanna remember the good
Good good good good
Just wanna remember the good
Good good good good
What can I do to make these days go by
When darkness surrounds me but I see the light
Just wanna remember the good
Gone are the lies we used to tell ourselves
There’s only so long we can live a fairy tale
Innocent children stolen youth
It’s all fun and games until you lose
I know there’s no growing up if you can’t face the truth
Holding my chest as all my tears fall out
My mind’s in a spin as all the pain pours down
What can I do to make these days go by
I haven’t the strength to make the rainfall die
Just wanna remember the good
Good good good good
Just wanna remember the good
Good good good good
What can I do to make these days go by
When darkness surrounds me but I see the light
Just wanna remember the good
Just wanna remember the good
Good good good good
Just wanna remember the good
Good good good good
What can I do to make these days go by
When darkness surrounds me but I see the light
Just wanna remember the good
