I know about the girls you called friend
Now I’ve got a secret too
And I know they were much more than that then
Now I’ve got a secret too.
Yeah, I know about the soulless names yeah
I’ve got a secret too
Without a sound they praise your fame yeah
Now I’ve got a secret too.
Well that’s real
And you’re not
Unhinged and haywire
Mythomaniac.
No, you can’t see the future
And your dreams they don’t come true
You’re a mixed up, messed up bag of bones
Even God can see right through.
And you don’t walk on water
Yeah, your hands just flesh and blood.
And you prey on the weak
And you feed off the young
And I know what you’ve said
And I know what you’ve done
Now I’ve got a secret too.
I know how much you like to watch
Yeah, now I’ve got a secret too
Behind close doors and in the dark
Yeah, now I’ve got a secret too.
Well that’s real
And you’re not
Unhinged and haywire
Mythomaniac.
So you know it’s not that special
When the words are make believe
Looking tired and bent
Feeling unmoved I bet
You’ve spent a lifetime on them I see.
No, they’ll never be a moment
When the truth shall set you free.
Because you prey on the weak
And you feed off the young
And I know what you’ve said
And I know what you’ve done
Now I’ve got a secret too.

Be Okay
02:42
|
|||
|
I’ll move on
And the obvious will fade
But behind these eyes
I am disengaged
After all this time
It’s the price that I pay
You did that
Will I ever be okay?
Sow your seeds
In my garden of despair
All your thorns and thistles
Climbing through my air
After all these years
I still bleed everywhere
You did that
Will I ever be okay?
The hum of your voice is a
Nagging reminder
Of how I went under
I doubt everyday
So it just makes me wonder
Why you’re here today?
Fear the arms
That wrap themselves around me
For in time
They will just push me away
Am I good enough to be with another
You did that
Will I ever be okay?
Yeah, I’m gonna
Gonna be okay.

Gonna Get Worse
03:51
|
|||
|
The ghosts are banging on my walls
They come for me, no rest at all
And I just have nowhere to go.
I try to hide out in my sleep
They chase me down, they cut me deep.
And I just have nowhere to go.
And it’s gonna get worse, yeah it’s gonna get worse,
Before it gets better.
Before it gets better. (repeat)
A flash of light, what is your name
A few kind words, won’t be the same
Do I have to let you go?
Out of the blue you went away
But you’re not here, what can I say.
I just have to let you go.
And it’s gonna get worse, yeah it’s gonna get worse,
Before it gets better.
Before it gets better. (repeat)
Always the calmest after the storm
Always the darkest right before the dawn
The sky shines so brightly in the noonday sun
Time moves so slowly after your gone.
I can’t explain, I’ve no idea
What you think or what you feel
So I just have to let this go.
And it’s gonna get worse, yeah it’s gonna get worse,
Before it gets better.
Before it gets better. (repeat)
Always the calmest after the storm
Always the darkest right before the dawn
The sky shines so brightly in the noonday sun
Time moves so slowly after your gone.

Nobody's Friend
04:10
|
|||
|
I speak in a whisper,
Rumor has it
That the truth does not really matter.
I know, I can make or break
Will you take the bait
On my long tall tale.
No you won’t,
Forget my name
I am nobody’s friend.
With all this idle chatter
Is it any wonder,
That I’m shrouded in smoke and mirrors.
I move undetected
Wreak some havoc
On the poor and the unsuspecting
Since you asked, imagine that
I am nobody’s friend.
Did you hear?
And can you believe?
Between you and me,
It’s really no, no big secret.
I will rise while you fall apart
I’ll distort your truth
Wrap it up ‘round your broken heart
No you won’t
Forget my name
I am nobody’s friend.
I am nobody’s friend.

Walk Away
03:19
|
|||
|
It takes a lot
But I am not
Really so afraid now.
You see my legs
Are strong enough
To kick down all these walls!
But after all
I didn’t fall
I simply flew away now
Razor sharp and wide awake
So kindly move along
Walk away, walk away.
Look around
At what I’ve found
I really can’t complain now
Is it right?
Or is it wrong
Now can you really tell?
But after all
I didn’t fall
I simply flew away now
Razor sharp and wide awake
So kindly move along
Walk away, walk away.
See you haven’t changed
Everything’s the same
Nothing can be saved
In this masquerade
Stepping through the wreckage
All I feel is pain.
Never felt safe
Never felt sane
Living in a daze
Where everything was fake
Nothing can be salvaged
Nothing you can say
Lived too long in shame
In your mad parade
I played a waiting game
Of everything unsaid
Memories will fade
Like you.

Thank You
04:15
|
|||
|
You mean everything in the world to me
Through thick and thin
You’ve been my friend
By my side and though the end
So it’s time, yeah it’s time to say
Thank you.
Through the years and the tears
And the broken hearts
You made sense
When my world did not
You picked me up
And dust me off
So it’s time, yeah it’s time to say
Thank you.
In my darkest hours
You would bring me flowers
In a song.
If I needed someone
You always were the ones
I turned on.
Now I find
Needing to tell you just how I feel
In my life
How you made me smile
These words of love, they took awhile
But it’s time, yeah it’s time to say
Thank you.

World Painted Cruel
05:26
|
|||
|
The sky it fell again today
That’s what you get for wanting.
You jack knifed, bruised and battered
On your way.
Wishful thinking’s got your number.
Desire the liar
You know it’s true
Deception required
In a world painted cruel
What did you do?
The earth it opened up and swallowed you
That’s what you get for needing
The wheel of fortune
Played you for a fool
There’s a myth that leaves you crying.
Desire the liar
You know it’s true
Deception required
In a world painted cruel
What did you do?
Your world came crashing down again
That’s what you get for dreaming.
You run a race
You know you’ll never win
Second best, I guess that’s something.
Desire the liar
You know it’s true
Deception required
In a world painted cruel
What did you do?

You Are There
03:44
|

|
You are there
You are light and you’re all the air.
You’re everywhere
It makes no difference
Why should I care.
This I know
You’re the darkest night, you’re water, winter snow.
Above below
A breathless whisper
That’s nowhere near.
You are there
You are light and you’re all the air.
You’re everywhere
It makes no difference
Why should I care.
Since you’re not here
You’re every sound
That I cannot hear.
This I see
They’ll never be a time for you and me.
But honestly
I’m walking away
Because you’re nowhere near.

Little Pink Notes

Shoo da wop
Shoo da wop
Shoo da wop
Yes, you were the only one,
The only one, you were.
Yes you were my only one,
My only one
You were.
I’d follow you for days
I’d follow you for years
I’d follow you most everywhere
In a puddle of tears.
Yes, you were the only one,
The only one, you were.
Yes you were my only one,
My only one
You were.
Little pink notes
And hand drawn hearts
Tell me you’re very happy
Where ever you are.
Decades have passed
Our lives moved on
You were what right felt like
Before it went wrong.
Shoo da wop
Shoo da wop
Shoo da wop
La la la la la la la…..
