IT’S WHAT YOU SAID
Don’t play dumb
You feed on insecurities
A vampire to my senses
Insulting my integrity
Always so coy
Boy you’d better wake up
I’ve given up
You’re on your own
You’re falling down
I won’t go with you
It’s so easy
To be mr zero responsibility
It’s just always my fault
Isn’t that what you said?
Stand up strait
Boy you’ve got a lot to learn
All you can do is take
You’re a slave to your misery
Always so sure
Well you’d better wake up
I’ve given up
You’re on your own

The Darkest Hour
In my darkest hour
Love walked through my door to turn the light on
In my darkest hour
Felt my smile grow like a child
I let go
They say sorrow is joy in disguise
I know I find it so hard to rely
On anything or anyone
Truth be told this back this back is full of knives
But you could see through me
love won’t give up on her own
In my darkest hour
Bruised but in control I just lost my faith in the snow
In my darkest hour
Felt my heart open wide
As I let go

In July
I fell flat on my face
Tripped by a vengeful step
I'm caught up in a web of no sleep
Preserved by additives and caffeine
But what if I can't make it through July?
And I can't say it all makes sense
Do we ever get what we expected?
I got down on my knees to pray for my escape
God save me from this mess, your Magdalene needs rest

I HAVE FOUND
IT'S A NO WIN SITUATION ALL AROUND
HANG TOUGH
BE A GOOD GIRL BY KEEPING YOUR MOUTH SHUT
NEVERMIND
I'LL DO WHAT I NEED TO ON MY OWN TIME
(I KNOW I) CAN'T RELY
ON ANYONE ELSE BUT ME
I HAVE FOUND
IT'S HARDER NOW TO MOVE UP FROM THE GROUND
IT'S SO SILLY
I'D HAVE BETTER LUCK BUYING A THIRD WORLD COUNTRY
I DON'T MIND
I KNOW I'LL LAUGH THIS OFF IN TIME
(I KNOW I) CAN'T RELY
ON ANYONE ELSE BUT ME
WHY AM I CAUGHT IN STALEMATE
NEVER GETTING AHEAD
WHY AM I GROPED AND STARED AT
BUT NEVER HAVE A DATE
WHY DO I ALWAYS WORK LATE
UNAPPRECIATED
WHY DO I BOTHER?
I HAVE FOUND
IT'S SO FUNNY HOW THEY TRY TO PUT YOU DOWN
THEY SAY
WHAT MAKES YOU THINK YOU'RE SO SPECIAL ANYWAY
I DON'T MIND
IT'S ALL TERRITORIAL BULLSHIT OF A DIFFERENT KIND
(THAT'S WHY I) CAN'T RELY
ON ANYONE ELSE BUT ME

ONLY FOR MY SAKE
Running backwards down a one way street
I don't care where I am
All I know is I'm on my way
Just don't say you love me
I know you think you do
Don't complicate things
Because I want to hold my head up
Without holding my heart in my hands
If I’m going to hold you
If I'm going to love you
It doesn't matter what i say
It's only for me
Yes I want to hold you
Yes I want to love you
But only till the break of day
And only for the sake of me
The early morning light which fills your eyes
Makes it easy to believe
You're the angel sent for me
Just don't say you love me
I know you think you do
And don't try to save me
(Prechorus/Chorus)

BEAUTY LIED
Beauty passed me in her search
Of trying to find the perfect host
I deny that in my circle she is hiding
Intimate beyond my dreams
Fields of vision become narrow streams
I visualize that in my circle she is hiding
Shhhh- it’s only me
But I can see that her smile
Won’t be recognized
Shhhh- it’s only me
I can see her
She’s running out of time
Beauty found her inner place
She hides behind my normal face
She compromised
In my circle she is hiding
A choice between a life of ease
Or living with no guarantees
Beauty lied
In my circle she is hiding

ON YOUR SIDE
Hi there Mr. sunshine
Dare to hear your shadow speak
I can't be myself and be
The fantasy you seek
I’m running off to somewhere
Underneath the crescent moon
Hiding every grievance
Until I can be truthful
Do you know what I want
Do you know what I crave
And in your land of make-believe
I should be exactly what you need
All I want is to be released
And I'm still here
All I want is to see you happy
And I'm still on your side
I’m hoping that you're still on mine
Hi there Mr. sunshine
Dare to hear your shadow speak
I can't be in love
If all I want to be is a friend
Reaching out to your heart
All the things I've never said
Planting every grievance
I'll leave room for your regrets
(chorus)

HE SAID SHE SAID
So here’s my take
You made a few mistakes
But instead of a confession
I’ve become the one to blame
It’s true I was there
It just doesn’t seem fair
That I should be on trial
In a case of who cared less
Picture this
You prove your guilt with each word fired against me
You say that I’ve stolen your prize
I hold back but I’m screaming inside
Just let it go
it doesn’t matter any longer
it’s all a game of he said she said
no i said
won’t take it any longer
accept it
it’s all a game of he said she said
It isn’t hard to see
There wasn’t a conspiracy
So why are you content on proving you were innocent
Don’t need apologies or lingering regrets
Accept it and forget, you need to let it rest
Picture this
I feel as if
I’m snow crunched beneath your feet
Trampled and powerless to fight
I hold back but I’m screaming inside

WHAT I BELIEVE
THESE VOICES
I HEAR THEM, THEY CALL FOR ME
PROMISING ME THE WORLD
TO FOLLOW THEM IN THIER MUSE
THEY PROMISE TO LOVE ME
HAND GOD TO ME
THEY SAY
" WELCOME TO GOD'S COMMUNITY"
IS HE WHO I'M PAYING MY MONEY TO
FALLEN TO EARTH
THE ANGELS FROM HEAVEN ALL CRY IN VAIN
THESE VOICES WOULD KILL OFF A SINNER
SLEEPING WELL TO KNOW HIS SOUL WAS SAVED
AND IT'S WHAT I BELIEVE
I SHOULD NEVER HAVE TO SELL MY GOD AS BARTER
I SHOULD NEVER HAVE TO PROVE ME FAITH TO ANOTHER
I SHOULD NEVER HAVE THE RIGHT TO JUDGE MY BROTHER
( AND WHEN HE'S FALLEN DOWN )
I SHOULD NEVER HAVE TO COMPROMISE MY LOVE FOR HIM
THESE VOICES
THEY BREED INSECURITIES
PLAYING THE CARD OF PAIN
GUILT MAKES MONEY ROLL IN
THEY SCREAM OUT
IT'S OUR GIVEN RIGHT
TO SAVE YOU ENTITLES US A FREE RIDE
I BELIEVE
IT'S THE LOVE WE MAKE
WE TAKE WITH US
LOVE IS OUR STRENGTH
HAVE FAITH
AMEN
