A Woman

Verse 1:  I am a woman as a woman I've been told / Dieting is marketed to me in this mold / Born with a clock, I yearn for the seed / Years I have waited with remarkable need

Verse 2:  I am a woman who has grown from a daughter / Been criticized by a jealous mother / Big breasts and tight buttocks got me into trouble / Boys and men alike ignored her and focused on me instead

Verse 3:  I am a woman who is not a victim / Begging for scraps is something I'll never do / I am a woman who is a c*** - there, I said it / I don't get hysterical when I'm referred to as such

Bridge:  I don't fare well with scorn and bitterness / I don't do well with a life of unwanted sacrifice / This won't work well if you're in constant judgement of me / I am a woman who is weaker than feminist chants

Chorus 1:  I have been adored / I have been protected / I'm using my status for monetary gain

Chorus 2:  I have been shamed / I have repented / I'm working my way toward the belief of forgiveness / I have been blamed / I have relented / I'm working my way toward the belief of forgiveness

Chorus 3:  I have been glorified / I have been worshipped / I'm working my way toward my original template / I have been raped / I have been attacked / I'm working my way toward endless retribution

Constant Hunger

Verse 1:  All these little rejections build up in your soul / Being turned away crushes your self-esteem / All these little let-downs surround you ever so slowly / To the point where they're about to consume you / Disappointment is such a drag / All these little distortions ingratiate themselves into your mind / Your belief system is based on lies and propaganda / All these little unpleasantries make for ruined situations / It's challenging to generate momentum and to keep it progressing

Verse 2:  All these little recollections buried deep within your psyche / Flashes of the past burst through like a manufactured hurricane / All these little anomalies becoming a nuisance / Plans are adjusted and cancellations are put into effect

Verse 3:  All these little machinations developing sight unseen / Theories abound when they're finally revealed / All these little medications destroying what's left of your health / Natural functions are being replaced through artificial means

Bridge:  Trinkets no longer appease you / Gadgets don't appeal to you / Substance is intoxicatingly desirable

Chorus:  You're wanting more out of life / But are left unsatisfied / You give more than you receive and feel under-appreciated / Attempting to explain yourself causes misunderstanding / This is how constant hunger dwells in you

Fireflies

Verse 1:  You would not believe your eyes / If you saw a thousand fireflies / Lighting up the night sky / And providing comfort for passers-by / You often wonder why you don't have the ability to fly / You dream of having wings / You dream of soaring way up high / If there was a way to transform yourself into a firefly / You certainly wouldn't hesitate / You'd give it a try

Verse 2:  Stadiums and skyscrapers would be in your line of view / You'd get to travel the world / And rest comfortably on trees / No fear of bodies of water / No fear of earthly disasters / Being complete and free seems to be an impossibility / Some challenges appear to be insurmountable  / So transforming yourself into a firefly / Is what you'd like to try

Bridge:  Brighten dark skies (4x)

Chorus:  You used to believe that people could change for the better / Now that you're wiser, you know they can't and they won't / So you long to be a firefly / Being able to possess the power to beautify the darkness / Is what you'd like to hold forever-more / So you long to be a firefly

Finding Ben

Verse 1:  I'm not looking around / Not looking for anything in particular / Minding my own business is my motto / I always keep to myself / And avoid situations which belong to others / I've got troubles of my own / The imbalance they create in my life / Need to be corrected before I can move on

Verse 2:  I will not be your friend / Won't be the one to listen to your cries / You can flood this town / And I still won't flinch / Your tears won't provoke me / To take action to your cause / You can save your breath / Just leave me the hell alone / I don't love you / I never did and I never will

Verse 3:  I'm not looking around / Not looking for anything in particular / I will not be your friend / Won't be the one to listen to your cries / I've got a journey of my own / And I can't lose focus / I make no apologies for wanting to know the real me

Bridge:  Leave me alone / Let me be / Attempts at agitation won't suppress me

Chorus:  I don't need anybody / I don't want anybody / I'm only looking for me / My mission is to find Ben

Outro:  I'm only looking for me / My mission is to find Ben

Destroy What Destroys You

Verse 1:  Destroy what destroys you / Every day, all day, any way / If you don't know how to fight / Or if you're reluctant / Then you'll die / This world, this life - cruel and cold / To survive, to thrive, you must be bold / They say knowledge is power / If that's true, then acquire as much as you can

Verse 2:  If you're ever under attack / Never back down, rise up and fight back / Your opponents must be crushed / Don't hesitate - swift action is necessary / You're a soldier on a battlefield / And the war which you fight is winnable / Create a plan and carry it out / Know your actions before you perform them / They say knowledge is power / It that's true, then acquire as much as you can

Verse 3:  Having riches won't help you / If you misuse your wealth / You have to be thorough and persistent / Overcoming battles can be arduous / Belief in your capabilities is the starting point / If you hit the ground running, you're on the right track / If you stumble, if you fall, don't quit / Quitting is equivalent to suicide / They say knowledge is power / If that's true, then acquire as much as you can

Chorus:  Everyone is your enemy / Search for things to protect yourself / You're hated, you're unwanted / If you allow society to consume you / Nothing will be left of you

Nothing New For Trash Like You

Verse 1:  The beast is lurking in the shadowy night / Its big eyes and big nose will scare just about anyone / They say the darker the juice, the sweeter the berry / But that's just an illusion / If you're the mother of civilization / Then weep for how low you've sunken

Verse 2:  You terrorize your main target until they die / You've been programmed to function that way / Elevating yourself to a high position / Will not make you superior to all / After all, reality is optional for you

Verse 3:  Your behaviour was once unusual / Now it's expected everywhere you go / Many are afraid, they're afraid of you / Nobody owes you anything in this life / You have to fight for everything, every day / But when you're the chosen one / You'll be protected, always without fail / However, you'll also be miserable and alone / Your main mantra is "Nobody's perfect" / And somehow that absolves you of your wrongdoings

Chorus:  There's nothing new for trash like you / You're not happy until everyone's unhappy / Being undesired, being unwanted / Makes you extremely dangerous

A Place of Acceptance

Verse 1:  There's a man walking around in a bar / You think he's naked, you're wrong, he's not / He may be here for the same reason as you / To have a pleasant and fun evening out / Just say hello

Verse 2:  There's a man walking around in a bar / You take offence, it's your opinion, let him be / You buy a drink or two and socialize / Sometimes what comes out of your mouth / Is not what others would like to hear / Pissy, alcohol-fueled / Complaining, jealous intent / They'll never change, it's in their DNA / When people show you who they are / Don't question it, believe them

Bridge 1:  Many things in this life are challenging / Being self-assured is one of them / Having confidence is vital / With it, you can accomplish just about anything

Bridge 2:  Many things you'll do will be frowned upon / People will dislike and even hate you / If you internalize their viewpoints / You'll always be less than who you are 

Chorus:  Come to a place of acceptance / Like who you are and what you can do / Gossip is prevalent, ridicule is expected / Build yourself up by knowing who you are

Outro:  There's a man walking around in a bar / You think he's naked, you take offence / Come to a place of acceptance / Build yourself up by knowing who you are

A Bed of Red Flowers

Verse 1:  The glitter, the glamour captured my attention / I was transfixed on a multitude of treats / What I saw is what I wanted / The lights and the sounds / Were enough to push me over the edge / So I decided to male my dreams a reality / I woke up before the sun rose / And fell asleep after it had set / I was determined to push myself past any limits / Success was the only goal / But as time went on, things changed / And I reached a point of no return / I was vulnerable and I didn't know it / Deception surrounded me

Verse 2:  Sharp teeth and wicked tongues / Could be found in unusual places / Side-walks are adorned with fake gold and engraved names / People would travel many miles / To get a glimpse of manufactured chaos / The screams, the shouts, the cries / Were at times overwhelming / I tried to remove myself from the situation / It certainly wasn't easy / I was being controlled and I didn't know it / Deception surrounded me

Bridge:  I was welcomed with open arms / I was celebrated and respected / If only I knew the true intentions / Of those who surrounded me / If only, if only

Chorus:  They want to lay me down / In a bed of red flowers / The Hollywood posse is targeting me / They're pretending to be normal / As they sit in the front row / This isn't the life I imagined / They want to lay me down / In a bed of red flowers / Breath from another is what passes on / You can play or be played / Either way, it's all the same / This isn't the life I imagined

White Love

Verse 1:  The pureness of paleness is deep at the core of your beating heart / And it glistens on your skin / Stiff hands would be relaxed if they could travel  / Along the edges of your porcelain mountains and valleys / You are the only drug of choice / When it comes to enriching the senses in full mode / Kingdoms have been constructed by the sound of your voice / Its melodic vibes have been the anthem of armies / Your eyes are never planted in the past / With a forward outlook, you see beyond allies and foes

Verse 2:  Your bu****** are well-shaped like juicy melons / I want my hands to grab onto them and melt away / Every inch of you tells an interesting story / You're the talk of the world / Magazines and films are devoted to you / I want to kiss you with a caring fierceness / And as we become one / Our souls will be set free / Free as the wind that whistles through our bones / And warm as the desires that ignite our passions / We've been consumed with our suppressions and denials / If we don't come to terms with them, they'll blow us away

Verse 3:  Believe in the one who has the power to save you / When your blood ceases to flow / You'll have everlasting life / Sacrifices must be made

And multiplied in good fashion / Your guiding light has been your most ardent cheerleader / Stumbling is natural / It's a marathon, not a sprint / You have nothing to prove to others / As they're in the same condition / Spread the news to all / Shout it from the rooftops / When you're told to hush / Raise your voice louder than thunder / Obey your master to receive your reward / You'll be transported into a glorious and magnificent realm

Chorus:  I fantasize about you / I can't get enough of you / I'm always on the hunt for you / I honour and respect you / I promote and celebrate you / I don't want to live without you / White love / White, white love / Love white / White, white love

Let Go

Verse 1:  Oh, what a night / Unexpected but good / Arriving early - just doing what I could / First kiss of the night / As a way to say "hello" / From a friendly guy who is really into me / A pissy man getting jealous and complaining / After seeing a naked man and becoming envious / Having better looks / Can sometimes get the claws out / And when people open their mouths / Garbage comes out of it

Verse 2:  What a delight to see you once again / I've thought about you / Thought about you and your friend / Lift me up and swing me around / Be inside of me and make a joyous sound / Compliments are good / They elevate your mood / But action is so much better / Than opening your mouth / Nobody looks at me the way that you do / Your eyes are locked in / And draw me closer to you

Bridge 1:  In the dark of the night / Excitement takes hold / In the dark of the night / Frisky fun begins / What I choose to do / Is always up to me / And I want to do interesting things with you

Bridge 2:  In the dark of the night / Boldness takes hold / In the dark of the night / Freedom begins / What we choose to do / Is always up to us / Interesting minds are always curious

Chorus:  Smart, funny and outgoing / Is irrelevant, is irrelevant / Exotic nature is in high demand / Reach down inside / And flaunt what you've got / No holds barred is the sentiment of the evening / It's undeniable / Unspoken, lingering in the air / Just let go - only if you dare

Lies And The Lying Liars Who Tell Them
Verse 1:  When you open your mouth / You lie, you lie, you lie / I cannot look in your eyes / When you lie, you lie, you lie / Another waste of precious time / When you lie, you lie, you lie / It's more than irritating / When you lie, you lie, you lie / A verbal form of oppression / When you lie, you lie, you lie
Verse 2:  Slick and under the radar / Your lies, your lies, your lies / Or so you like to believe / Your lies, your lies, your lies / On high alert in your presence / When you lie, you lie, you lie / Don't you dare play dumb / When you lie, you lie, you lie / I can see beyond your facade / When you lie, you lie, you lie
Verse 3:  Bitter and highly infectious / When you lie, you lie, you lie / A great lack of prevention / When you lie, you lie, you lie / Unhealthy dose of reality / When you lie, you lie, you lie / Imbalance of civility / When you lie, you lie, you lie / Playing with emotions / When you lie, you lie, you lie
Verse 4:  Toe to toe, living to win / When you lie, you lie, you lie / Legacy always in mind / When you lie, you lie, you lie / Methodical and charismatic / When you lie, you lie, you lie / No mercy for opposition / When you lie, you lie, you lie / If you lose, you can die / When you lie, you lie, you lie
Chorus:  A weapon as sharp as a sword / Lies and the lying liars who tell them / Lies and the lying liars who tell them / Lies and the lying liars who tell them

Waiting For Superman

Verse 1:  There will be no sunshine / No warm rays to glisten on the skin / No blending of colours to see / No hand up in the air to partially conceal the view / Erosion of days and prolonged nights / Settle within this time and place / A mood of what occurred and what will soon be / Pushed forward while being pulled backwards / Today will become yesterday

Verse 2:  Discussions of destiny and luck / What's meant to be and possibilities / Another method of passing the buck / Our very own way of normality / Rising tensions will not subside / When the causes are stored in skulls and lungs / If they spill out of ourselves / Open wounds will be the visible manifestation / Of injuries which could no longer be pacified / Pushed forward while being pulled backwards / Tomorrow is today

Verse 3:  With the knowledge of a finish point / We can't cease to worry about what remains / It's attached to every achievement and mistake / Like spots on a leopard, it's impossible to shake / Not all broken things can be fixed / Some missing parts will always be hidden / We're not always capable of preserving what's left / A greater force must take over for us / It could be today or tomorrow / So we'll wait until that day arrives

Bridge:  But if there was, someone who could change this for the better / To put an end to this endless transformation / To capture precious moments lost through the passage of time / To save us from what is known / From what is predicted to be / Then a grand welcoming will certainly be greeted upon him

Chorus:  There's nowhere else to go / No running, no hiding / Wanting a space for yourself / Where nothing is dismantled and rearranged / He's the only one standing between the life we've dreamed of living / Superman is who we've been waiting for / Waiting for Superman / For us to be saved

Savage Garden

Verse 1:  Give me a seed and let me plant it / Plant it into fertile ground / And let it grow until the end of time / And while it's growing / The harvest will provide nourishment / For many in need with open mouths / And those who can barely walk on their own / Nations will be strengthened / And once the urge to fight each other deepens / We'll go to war / Leaders will be appointed / And plans will be constructed / This all started with the breath of life / And it seems there's no end in sight

Verse 2:  We've been tainted and manipulated / Into being something we were never meant to be / All this time has been wasted / On trivial pursuits and ego-driven madness / We can't go back in time / For if we could, we'd sow in the same seeds / That caused the chaos we're in / Many believe that we're without redemption / A cause unworthy of attention / Rebels will take their places / Always disguise their faces / This all started with the breath of life / And it seems there's no end in sight

Verse 3:  Blood and guts has a way of changing / Changing how you think of yourself / And all that surrounds you / Once you attain a semblance of peace / It could all disappear without warning / And you're left to struggle on your own / At times, it's unbearable / And you'd do just about anything / To get the relief you desire / However momentary it may be / Is there an end in sight?

Chorus:  A savage garden we are living in every day / As mothers are crying for children / Who have died in their arms / We continue to add fuel to the fire

Money Where Your Mouth Is

Verse 1:  You say it's going to be epic / Like the biggest ship sinking in the ocean / A spectacle of awe and tragedy / Another exaggeration to keep up with technology / You know what something is / By the kind of fruit it bears / I'm waiting for you to deliver the goods

Verse 2:  Love in the form of words is meaningless / It's like trying to untie a knot / When you know you should stop / But you keep going at it / Thinking you can prevail / The air becomes cooler when you're around / A by-product of the confusion / And frustration that's generated / You seem incapable of providing / The kind of warmth I'm looking for / I'm still waiting for you to deliver the goods

Chorus:  The only way to prove it / Is to answer all questions / Make it undeniable / Money where your mouth is / If seeing is believing / Then don't conceal what you should reveal / Money where your mouth is

Outro:  Penny, nickel, dime, quarter, dollar / Money where your mouth is (6x)

Call The Names
Verse 1:  You're not considered to be beautiful / Even when you dress up and go to town / Men don't stare at you / They don't talk to you / On your way home, you feel like a fool / Wondering why you bother to get their attention / You're different than most / That's why you're unique / But you view yourself as being ugly / As being undesirable and pathetic / It's difficult to change your way of thinking / When the opinions of others are valued / More than your own
Verse 2:  You're the most despised, you're the most feared / You still don't understand the reasons why / Everyone stares at you / Everyone talks about you / Being the centre of attention makes you feel uncomfortable / Like you're under a microscope / Being analyzed, always criticized / As a result, you view yourself as inferior / Somewhat defective, in need of reconstruction / To assemble a better version of you / It's difficult to have confidence / When the opinions of others are valued / More than your own
Verse 3:  We're on opposite sides of a spectrum / Battling each other for sanity and survival / Thus destroying ourselves as bitter rivals / Seemingly incapable of changing ourselves / Through understanding and compassion / We're always losing as others are benefiting / From our disconnectedness / We're not who we were meant to be
Chorus:  Let's the call the names / They're always with us / In our hearts, in our minds / We're surrounded by thieves, liars and traitors / We're in between the truth and a lie / When our inventions have failed us / And we're in the remains of the darkest of times / We won't surrender, we won't waste away / We'll get together and call the names

Avalanche

Verse 1:  Rolling down / Down towards me / Covering me with its destruction / I deserve it / This massive blanket of snow / Because I know that I've done wrong

Verse 2:  Gasping for air / As I struggle to breathe / This pain is far less than I deserve / Digging my way out is futile / I've played the game / Now I'm paying the price / Be still, my heart / Seek that elusive silence / Memories burn deep into my core

Verse 3:  Temperature drops / Darkness settles in / The end is near for me / I can sense it / Rolled down / Down towards me / Covered me with its destruction / Cold, cold grave / My final resting place / I'd smile if I weren't frozen

Chorus:  Avalanche / Mighty avalanche, mighty avalanche / Avalanche

Get Away From Me
Verse 1:  Who smiles whenever you cry? / I do - it's pleasurable / Who gives you wrong directions? / I do - it's enjoyable / Who interrupts your conversations? / I do - it's pleasurable / Who brings up your bad memories? / I do - it's enjoyable / Who exposes you for the trash that you are? / I gladly do, I gladly do
Verse 2:  Who's pulling you down when you climb up? / I do - it's pleasurable / Who insults and disrespects you? / I do - it's enjoyable / Who's disrupting your plans? / I do - it's pleasurable / Who makes it difficult for you to earn a living? / I do - it's enjoyable / Who's criticizing your behaviour? / I do - it's pleasurable / Who exposes you for the trash that you are? / I gladly do, I gladly do
Verse 3:  Who afflicts you with torment? / I do - it's pleasurable / Who puts you in dangerous situations? / I do - it's enjoyable / Who shatters your belief in miracles? / I do - it's pleasurable / Who calls you explicit names? / I do - it's enjoyable / Who dreams about your demise? / I gladly do, I gladly do
Chorus:  Don't want to be influenced by you / Get away from me / Indifferent to your pain and suffering / Get away from me / Life is a game to play and to win / Get away from me / Remain vigilant - you're my enemy / Get away from me

Mass Romantic

Verse 1:  He says "It's all about love" / With relaxed confidence / To a curious disbeliever / It's a notion many are unfamiliar with / So he explains himself delicately / He doesn't want to convince you of anything / As we all believe whatever we want / "I'm just giving my opinion on the most important thing" / "Love is everything" He said

Verse 2:  Lovers and all who are adequately loved / Are part of a giant club / It's not exclusive, anyone can join / The benefits are plenty / Being inspired has a domino effect / Others will want to learn what you know / Word gets around about the most important thing / Even when it's difficult to find

Verse 3:  "It's what I need" He said with a grin / Leaving the disbeliever confused / "Without it, life is not worth living" / "I want love in abundance" He said / With a slightly raised voice / Whether it's hugs and kisses or hand-holding / It's beautiful in every form / If disbelievers remain skeptical / Perhaps it's not their time / To know what love is

Chorus:  It's in everyone who agrees and disagrees / Traces of it linger in thoughts and deeds / You can resist and push it away / But mass romantic is here and it will stay / It's the reason why we breathe

You're A Woman, I'm A Machine

Verse 1:  You're a woman, I'm a machine / I'm different in more ways than you realize / I build and destroy / As you wait on the sidelines / This is who I am / Who I'm meant to be / I won't act the way that you want me to

Verse 2:  At my behest, lands are cultivated and transformed / Empires are built, they rise and they fall / Connections are established through me / Ideas are churned out at high speed

Bridge:  Neither inferior or superior / I offer brains and brawns / With that combination, power is generated / I have few luxuries and many responsibilities / The world rest on my shoulders / And I can't ignore that fact

Chorus:  I seek adventure / There's a need to expand my mind / A detox up in the mountains will purify me / I collect and assemble complex pieces of the world / Societies benefit and suffer from my legacy / History is shaped by me / You're a woman, I'm a machine

Outro:  You're a woman, I'm a machine / I build and destroy / This is who I am / I won't act the way that you want me to / You're a woman, I'm a machine

Passion

Verse 1:  The fierce notion of something exciting about to happen / Intense like a raging bull / It can't be contained, it can't be withheld / Powerful like a nuclear weapon / Valuable like gold

Verse 2:  The jolt of energy being used / To create something long-lasting / Strong and bold / Secure and proud / Dreams are realized / And joy is flowing through you / Challenging to attain / But once you have it, exploration is boundless

Verse 3:  The light of life guiding the way / Along valleys and mountains / When you're focused and determined / There's so much that you can do / Maximizing your strength is always a good thing / You put yourself in a less vulnerable position / Controlling where you venture and how you get there / Will allow you to become more of yourself

Chorus:  Without passion, you breathe just to exist / And not be alive / You're on auto-pilot / Senses function properly / But there's no spark of vitality / You're merely a collection of bones and flesh / Pushed through time / Insignificant at best / You can flourish beyond measure

Wind, Sand And Stars

Verse 1:  Travelling down this ragged a** road / Hoping to transform from ashes to diamonds / Perhaps it's just a fool's party / But if there's a ghost of a chance / Then I'll prevail / I'm pouring my heart into it / I've got nothing left to lose / Turning fantasies into realities / Is usually more difficult than it seems

Verse 2:  Something new doesn't occur every day / The past has a tendency to repeat itself / If I hate my life, I'll hate myself / So I must work harder at combating negativity / I may be on the verge of a breakthrough / But I don't know if I'm dreaming or being a fool / Fact or fiction, opposite ends of a spectrum / Somewhere in the middle is where I am

Verse 3:  I search for meaning, I search for purpose / As a free agent, I'm afforded this much / Identity parades are on display / I'm still figuring out the complexities of me / Washing my brain on a regular basis / Is conducive for mental clarity / Although I've been down for so long / I believe that I'll rise, I'll rise

Chorus:  The wind at my back to push me forward / The sand on my feet to guide me along / The stars in my eyes to inspire me and instill confidence / That's all I need

Teenage Wasteland

Verse 1:  Stay close and do nothing / Climbing through the darkness / The suicidal mind / Man against himself / Step back from the exit / All maps welcome / Before the robots / A heartbeat behind / In search of wings / Looking out, looking in / Feel the fear and do it anyway / Coming apart / You just don't understand / From pieces to weight / One nation under therapy

Verse 2:  Good morning midnight / Fresh wind, fresh fire / A cup of coffee / Shifting gears / In smog and thunder / People move on / Radical desire / Turn on, tune in, drop out

Bridge:  Disindentifications / The broken image / The everlasting hatred / Pretending to be normal / Under and alone / The breakdown lane / Through the storm / Remember to breathe

Chorus:  Unscramble my brains / The lies of the world have taken hold / For seven years I've been digging through this bin / Of teenage wasteland / Unscramble my brains / The lies of the world have taken hold / For seven years I've been stuck in teenage wasteland

Journey To Bliss

Verse 1:  If you see something you like / And if it's in your presence / It may not be there for long / Just go for it / This is the place to be anybody  / No judgements, no ridicule, no shame / Just go for it / If you want to touch someone / It should be done respectfully / Ask for permission / Then just go for it / Don't be surprised to see a woman / With a finger or two up her skirt / The beat of the music will transfix / The young and the wild / Their bodies will act accordingly

Verse 2:  Leave the sad things behind, become experimental / Try out different situations for yourself / Find the temperature that suits your body well / And when you do so, you’ll speak your own language / Colour isn't something that's just meant to be seen / There should be large amounts of it flowing through you / The weather outside won't have an impact on the activities / Of the young and the wild / They'll turn into dance animals and imperfect freaks / Their senses will be on overdrive

Bridge:  Sweet sensations could surround you / Only if you ignore the noise in your mind / You can go far if you take a journey to bliss / And when you do, there will be no looking back

Chorus:  Lights out, mood up / Release the fun in you / Experience the vibrations moving through your body / Suppress your worries for the duration of the night / Excitement is yours to explore / Be adventurous / Take a journey to bliss

All of Who You Are

Verse 1:  12:38am, there you were again / What a beautiful surprise on a quiet night / Each time you're in my view / I know more about you / I'm de-constructing the mystery that is you / You're casual and relaxed / But not adventurous as before / The mood of the night was somber and it grew dimmer / So you only stayed for awhile / I went searching for you / You had already gone

Verse 2:  Good times are few and far between / When they occur, I make the most of them / I'm in the middle of living and being alive / Only you can take me to the edge of possibility / Where dreams become experiences / And experiences become me / Freedom comes and goes / Just like the way you do / I'm a captive to the circumstances of my life / The friction it causes has rendered me reserved / So if you come calling for me / I may not respond quickly

Verse 3:  See me as I'm seeing you / Help yourself by helping me / Let me absorb your frequencies / Add layers to me / Teach me about your vibes / What you do and how you do it / Is something I'd like to uncover / Never before have I realized the brokenness in me / Until now / Being whole is my newfound goal / And I'd like to achieve it with you by my side

Chorus:  Hey dude, I want you to look at me / The way that I envision you / You've electrified my senses before / Do it once more and reach down to my core / I'm waiting right here for you / Give me something new to feel and to think of  / All of who you are is what I'd like to know / Even how you get low / If you're interested say so

Close To The Knives

Verse 1:  You're drifting away, away, away / You're not completely gone / But things have changed / I'll get used to seeing you less often / I won't forget you / I couldn't if I tried / You're drifting away, away, away / Sometimes it seems like it's far / That's when I miss you most / You're not completely gone / But you have changed / And slowly, I think, I'm doing the same

Verse 2:  Days are increasingly mundane / Now that you're not around / This is the new normal / Without you here, time seems to slow down / But when I'm with you / There's not much of it / I mostly want you to stay right where I am / So we can chat, and touch, and kiss / In your arms, in the middle of the night / Is when I'm most comfortable / Whenever we part, sadness takes hold / And it remains until we reconnect

Chorus:  I'm close to the knives / The sharp knives / Which could potentially cause a lot of harm / How I feel for you / Could slice me into pieces / Pieces of perpetual wanting / Pieces of a lonely man / I'm close to the knives / The sharp knives / And sometimes I'm afraid of losing all that I have
