Baby I know that it's been tough
Us being so far apart
But this is the life we chose
It's not forever so don't let go
So baby don't let go
Don't give up on me
We can make it though this
Baby just hold on
We can make it though this
Baby just hold on
Hold on to the memories
They'll get you through
(You through, you through)
Get you through
Baby all good things in life
They don't come easy
We got this can't you see?
Because there's no one like you and me
So baby don't let go
Don't give up on me
We can make it though this
Baby just hold on
Hold on to the memories
They'll get you through
Hold on to the memories
They'll get you through
(You through, you through)
Get you through
Oh the lonely nights
Oh the lonely nights
(Why'd you give up on me?)

You know I pray to no deamons
Nor gods above
I don't feel hatred
I don't feel love
So, What did you want from me?
I rather see you free
Away from me
Away from it all
At ninety degrees from reality
Far from the end
And far from the world
In a parallel line to factuality
The death of hope
The triumph of indiference
Maybe it's time
To give change a chance
So, What did you want from me?
I rather see you free
Away from me
Away from it all
At ninety degrees from reality
Far from the end
And far from the world
In a parallel line to factuality

I never promised to get the world at your feet
I never thought you were feeling incomplete
To live without knowing one’s quest
Was it you that changed, or was it all the rest?
I am still losing faith
Never walked straight
In the line that God made
Always seen the burning flame
Far away from now
In a ghostly future
Thus I know
I gave myself too soon
Unlawfully in tune
And time started to choke
Longing rained like monsoon
And I broke
Never forgot anything we dreamed
In visions I relived all we have seen
The coldness of pain on my chest
Was it you that changed, or was it all the rest?
I am still losing faith
Never walked straight
In the line that God made
To know you by heart
The grandest fantasy
Be touched by your flame
Your body in me
Have you as a whole
With a woken mind
With an opened soul
In complete denial
Fully deceived by a shadow of your smile
I still can’t elate
Never walked straight
In the line that God made
In the age of why
Ripped open my chest
Undressed all my vests
And discovered love
A fable unexplained
Only pain remained
But still I wait on
Come rain or snow
In complete denial of the truth that I know!

Let Me Go
Lyrics: Allison Lancaster 2004
Music: Mike Harwood 2004
Verse 1
I thought you were my friend
But you’re killing me inside
No matter where I go
Seems there’s no where I can hide
Temptations on my lips
I can feel you drawing near
I taste your toxic kiss
Now there’s nothing left to fear
Chorus
There’s a burning pain in me
And I need you more and more
You’re an angel in disguise
It’s the devil at the door
Verse 2
I long to be close to you
To soothe my mind and hold my hand
I need to be close to you
It’s only you that understands
Need strength to fight you back
Cause you’re no good for me
But my hunger for your love
Will remain eternally
Chorus
There’s a burning pain in me
And I need you more and more
You’re an angel in disguise
It’s the devil at the door
Refrain
Let me go
Set me free
Of your irresistibility
And I know
I’ve got to fight
To make you let me go
Come on and let me go
Chorus
There’s a burning pain in me
And I need you more and more
You’re an angel in disguise
It’s the devil at the door
Chorus
There’s a burning pain in me
And I need you more and more
You’re an angel in disguise
It’s the devil at the door

She sat by me
I got a score to settle
She sat by me
Shes gonna taste my metal
Shes there by me
She always stays where i can see

She says i'm to blame
Take me as i am
She says i contained
Everything and ran
She says to refrain
Tell me how i am
She says there's a reason, there's a reason yeah
She ran from me
I had a revelation
She ran from me
There was a conversation

She says i'm to blame
Take me as i am
She says i contained
Everything and ran
She says to refrain
Tell me how i am

There’s a lonely shadow living here
Where your love used to be
There’s a midnight moon missing in my sky
There’s a whisper lost within my heart
There’s a void I can’t deny
Can you say you don’t love me any more
Every time I dream
You’re all I see
I need your love tonight
Every time I touch
You’re all I feel
I need your love tonight
No spark to save an empty heart
No fire that’s raging high
No patch to mend this crack in time
It’s only love you’ve thrown into the sea
My heart you cast away
Just another day to start again
Every time I dream
You’re all I see
I need your love tonight
Every time I touch
You’re all I feel
I need your love tonight
You say there’s nothing lost
I say there’s nothing gained
Ooooh how well you play this loving game

I came home last night, looking for a fight
I came home last night you were no were in sight
Why do you always leave, when I’m feeling tight?
Why do you hurt me baby? Keep me singing this song?
Why do you hurt me baby? You’ve been gone too long.
Keep me up all night, by the telephone; singing the Blues.
Thought you’d be home by morning. Why do you do me wrong?
Thought you’d be home by morning; I waited all night long.
Staring out the window, singing my song.
Why do you tease me baby, and keep me hanging on?
Night after night, you go out to play.
If you don’t want my love, go on and move away?

I know the answers, I'm looking right through you
I know the reason, I've seen what you can do
Put aside what evolves in the notion
See the lie we perform til we die
Your disguise through the years of devotion
Exorcise what's within, right out of me
I know the answers, I'm looking right through you
I know the reason, I've seen what you can do
What is real in this realm of commotion
Feed my eyes for to see 'fore I die
Set me free as I drown in the ocean
Take my breath and my soul, right out of me
Reason or rhyme, stay or will I follow
What is this poison in my veins
There lies a thought in me, tempting me again
Haunting me from inside again, and again
It follows me, Until The End
I know the answers, I know the reason
I know the answers, I know the reason

Behind the picture
Under a seat
Daddy's hiding and i shall seek
I can't see him
I look all round
Mummy helps me, points him out
Here I am!
Now it's my turn
I have learned well
I'm under a pillow where you can't see
You thought I'd come here
But then weren't sure
You couldn't see me, but you heard me breathe
There you are!
Where's my daddy gone?
Here I am!
Here I am!
Where's my daddy gone?

Welcome to the freakshow
Come on in, leave room for more
Your presence is not an option
Come right in and shut the door
Watch us fill our pockets
While you are starving to death
We´ ll cut your throat
just to watch you bleed out
Your failure is our only goal
Don't you think, don't you think
its time for us to rise up?
All these lies, all these lies
I just can`t take them anymore
And you say, and you say
We better keep our mouths shut
But I can`t and I won't
No I can`t and I won`t
You were never meant to be free
Only slaves to fulfill our needs
And when you die, you'll be forgotten
Our names will go down in history
Don't you think, don't you think
its time for us to rise up?
All these lies, all these lies
I just can`t take them anymore
And you say, and you say
We better keep our mouths shut
But I can`t and I won't
Who's to blame that you don't ask questions?
It`s not our fault that you don't use your brains
And still you think we're here to help you
stupid fools, you'll never learn
Don't you think, don't you think
its time for us to rise up?
All these lies, all these lies
I just can`t take them anymore
And you say, and you say
We better keep our mouths shut
But I can`t and I won't
No I can`t and I won`t

Leftover Angels - 01.08.2003 - BMI 2020
Lyrics: ©Billy Ray Jarrell 2003
Music: ©Mike Harwood 2003
Eyes wide open and wondering
Faces blank and full of fear
Hands that hold onto favourite things
As the ambulance appears
Tears that can’t find a place to flow
Voices they haven’t used for days
Orphans now but they don’t know
Should they go or should they stay
Leftover angels
When the soldiers have all gone
Victims of circumstance
But the nightmare goes on
Leftover angels
Seeking shelter from the night
The scars upon their innocence
Will last them all their life
Too young to know the difference
Between enemies and friends
But old enough to have a sense
That the hatred never ends
In the Congo or in Palestine
In Columbia or Peru
When you tuck your children in tonight
Say a prayer for these ones too
Leftover angels
When the soldiers have all gone
Victims of circumstance
But the nightmare goes on
Leftover angels
Seeking shelter from the night
The scars upon their innocence
Will last them all their life

Tape my whole life story
The template’s here
It’s a true story
Don’t let it fool you
And if you rely on the things that you’re thinking
Stop, it’s all a lie, and I’ve been mistaken to
A strange desire may not lead you to the truth
Don’t know everything love
Fire, wet fire
Sad and tired
Call me neither
Break up all the glory
Not that clear
Not even sorry
Know what you’re looking to?
Don’t come, just stay away
I thought it was a different dream
And a different part of this….
Manic pondering you rely on

When our words ring out like cannon fire
in a frontal assault that’s right down to the wire
It’s a waiting game
we don’t want it all staying the same way
But the shrapnel cuts and the metal it burns
and we insist on our own to try and heal the hurt
It’s a losing streak
until we find a better remedy
Will we learn, or watch our bridges burn
(Chorus) We will come together
With the things that matter
It’s the matters of the heart
and we’ll build each other
and we’ll stand together
Come together now
We’re throwing awkward punches with our weaker hands
while the tides are turned will we take a stand
trying to find it on our own
but we’re trying without hope

Another year older, another year lost to the past
The color's still bright in the water from the dye that you cast
The current flows forward, but your compass is pain
And it turns you around and around, and again
'Til you end up back here at this point where you always begin
[Chorus]
But the wind calls your name
As you rest in this nest made of fear and comfortable pain
May this circle be broken and shattered by and by, Lord, by and by
I just hope I'm around when you finally learn how to fly
Another year colder, another year lost to the chill
Wrapped in blankets of anger, sustained by a poison pill
You hunger for freedom, you starve for some peace
But the chains are too heavy for some sweet release
So you huddle in silence and rage for the light to cease
[Chorus]
Feel the breeze under your wings
Climb higher and higher and let out a cry as you sing
This I wish for you, but the flight is yours alone to choose
Is it only a dream?
Another sun rises, and sets in the West
Sinking lower and lower into darkness...
[Chorus]
