What I Got
You run around scheming up your plans
Looking for something to bring meaning to you
You want it you need it you see it you get it
You wouldn’t have it any other way
You came around looking for a man
Looking for someone to bring meaning to you
You’re coming and going no time for consoling
You wouldn’t have it any other way
What I got you call insignifi-
Can’t you see your way
You want it I’ve got it I gave it for free
That’s more than you could say
Your arms length it keeps getting longer
Longer depending on who it is you find
You’re pushing and shoving the people you’re loving
You wouldn’t have it any other way
I tried to break you down I tried to get inside
To show you that in me you truly could confide
Now you’re running running but I’m no longer coming
You wouldn’t have it any other way
You see you want you get but nothing satisfies
Run faster run faster must keep up with your lies

Some Kind Of Way

Some Kind of Way
You've got some kind of way
Of showing love to those that you love
You've got some kind of way
Of making fools of those who choose love
Why do you use these shadows and valleys
Surely to waste my time
A reward given to those who follow dearly
Your methods have changed my mind
Some kind of way
Of showing love to those that you love
You've got some kind of way
Of making fools of those who choose love
Why couldn't my heart have been enough
I thought I gave all that you require
Look all around we're dying, dying
My faith wasn't good enough
You had my face in the ground
See my hands that were bound
Always losing
With my feet on the ground
No more visions or sounds
I am through

We Got Fight
I don't care what you say about our friends
We got fight, we got fight, we got fight
I don't care what you say about our trends
We got rights, we got rights, we got rights
We'll keep living with our eyes wide shut
So we'll never hit the ground, no we'll never come around
We'll keep living with our minds made up
No we'll never see the light
We got fight, we got fight, we got...
It's not fair what you say about our friends
Just to spite, just to spite, just to spite
It's unclear what you know about our trends
Just ain't right, just ain't right, just ain't right
We'll keep on fighting
We'll keep uniting
Until our days are done
Oh, fires still igniting
We're burning brightly
Our lives have just begun

Monster
Hey all! Beware! Beware! Yeah! Here she comes!
She'll find an elegant way to rip your heart right out
She said "It's my way, my way
Can't anyone, can't anyone ever change my mind!"
I know she knows more than anyone
Can anyone ever change her mind?
MONSTER!
Hey all! Beware! Beware! Yeah! Here she comes!
She'll find an elegant way to smash your head right in
Run for the mountains, run for the hills
When she's through there will be not a one
No use in fighting, only surviving
No you can't stop what's gonna come

Lowly Eyes
These hands how they lead astray
Still I fall to my knees never rising
It’s not me it’s this skin
It’s this fear I’m living
But these truths, these lowly truths heed our call
Breath to my lungs my heart will beat again
These eyes, these lowly eyes turn to see
Redemption standing in front of me
Sorrow how it flows through my veins
Through and through with the lies with the fighting
It’s not me it’s this sin
It’s this life I’m living

Sweet Lipped Woman
I know there's a way
I'm just looking for the will
A distant shore, a light, a city on a hill
Oh, then my head outweighs my heart
Oh you, the weakening to my self
I know what you'll say
How you'll reason and convey
Tales of character
The rejection of your name
Oh, when your head outweighs your heart
Oh you, the withering to my bones
As we reap the trouble from the wicked that was sown
I long for the hollow and the known things still unknown
As I choke down the pain my heart beats indelible shame
Oh you, sweet lipped woman, you took everything
I know what they'll say
What they'll offer what they'll pray
An old song of love, sympathy and pain
Oh, but my head outweighs my heart
Oh you, the sorrow to my soul
As we reap the trouble from the wicked that was sown
I long for the hollow and the known things still unknown
As I choke down the pain my heart beats indelible shame
Oh you, sweet lipped woman, you took everything
Everything but me

December
You've been gone for a while now
But I can't get your words out of my head
Repeating, repeating they're so deceiving
No I can't break away from the hurt you caused
And the love that was lost
No I can't seem to throw it all away
Away
Yeah you've been gone a while now
But I can't help but wish you were still here
By my side
But then I remember the pain you cause
All the love that was lost
No I can seem to throw it all away
Like you did
But we'll all move on without you
Someday the pain will fade away
Yeah we'll all be fine without you
Even your name will fade away
Hallelujah

Light Years
I’ve been mistreated
I’ve been strung along
I’ve seen faces turn and look the other way
I’ve followed suit I’ve followed words
I’ve seen faith fall to insecurity
I’ve been one person torn apart
I’ve seen results of trusting things unseen
Now my conclusion is disillusion
Choosing and loosing
My eyes are open for the first time
Now I finally see
Clear as the stars and the moon
You said it’s over, it’s over
Now that all feelings have gone
I can get over, I’m over
You and your words and your oh so treacherous way
I’ve heard things promised
I’ve heard them sworn
I’ve turned pages guaranteed to bring relief
I’ve witnessed heros swallow their words
I’ve felt treason shake the world of those I love
I’ve been one person torn apart
I’ve seen results of trusting things unseen

Smoke And Mirrors
I know all about you
I know all your ways
The only one that you are fooling is you
Yeah, you’re the only one you’re fooling
Smoke and mirrors yeah I had you all wrong
You’re singing words to a different song
Settled on that you didn’t belong
You’re gone
The spirit of you lingers
A scent of apathy
Your reflection keeps you running
Yeah, your reflection keeps you running

Just Like Daughter
I see you’ve found your reason
Tucked in your bag wrapped in leather
Hey, like mother like father just like daughter
Contentment comes in shades of green
How it shimmers and shines
Oh it looks so divine
No oath can withstand its qualities
All your marvelous worth you’ll take to the earth
But I say
You’ve got your money oh but honey
It wont get you nowhere
All my tries turned to lies in your head
Well your reflection needs affection
But you wouldn’t look here
All my tries turned to lies in your head
I guess I see your reason
But did it have to involve my name
Hey, like mother like father just like daughter
With two fingers I point the blame
The day we swore to never see has come and gone now
Your doubt was treason up against my faith
And now all that’s left is ignorance and reasons why
Reasons why

Oh, Desire
Oh, the songs of my youth have all faded
And now new melodies drift all around
The whites of my eyes are receding
Because now the weight of reality is gone
Because it don’t mean a thing
Not a thing to me now
No it don’t mean a thing
Not a thing to me now
Oh, faith in myself is returning
I leave fear and rejection alone
And see my hands brushing her words away
And now the weight of beliefs are all gone
Oh, desire, take me higher
