Heels Over Head 03:39
lyrics
buy track
Some of us near learn Some of us like the burn We’re not lookin’ for an easy way out Some of us can’t be told You see we do it because we’re bored We’re not lookin’ for a higher ground Just for the record I laid it on the table Told him he should call me Knew he wasn’t meant to last cuz I only go for wrecking balls In leather jackets Walk on ice And i lose my tread Down another sink hole I have fallen again Best think twice Before you leave me for dead I’ll take you down with me Oh I told ya I’m heels over head Heels over head Yeah I’m heels over head Some of us wind it up Some of us - we never let go Living in a state of tension The arrow files for the heart But i always overshoot the mark Looking for another dimension Just for the record I feel it getting heavy Start to push away But I’d go there if he’s let me Found him on a freeway Everything went faster Gonna hit the storm Cuz I’m a natural disaster Walk on ice Lose my trend Down another sink hole I have fallen again Best think twice Before you leave me for dead I’ll take you down with me Oh I told ya I’m heels over head Heels over head Heels over head You know “I’m getting old for this I can no longer let it slide Catch me on the flip side Repeat chorus

Old Dreams 03:18
lyrics

Drove through Yucca va;ley Kids asleep in back Dad is flippin’ stations ‘Til he finds some Johnny Cash The cactus up ahead Look like cowboys wavin’ hi They say come but keep your distance That’s the story of my life Stop Let it all sink in Old dreams die To let new ones begin Lay Your gifts upon the stone Turn and walk away Some will follow you home Made it to the base camp Where the battery died Good thing it was SUnday All we had was time Just keep the engine running he said And you can see the sites We pulled on thrus the gates to catch the last few hours of light We stopped Let it all sink in Old dreads died To let new ones begin We laid our gifts up on the stone Turned and walked away Some will follow us home Alone in the shadow Of a Joshua tree I know that I can’t stay here And you can’t come with me There’s a canyon between The black and the blue I’m a feather on a precipice But the wind won’t blow me thru (so I) Stop Let it all sing in Old dreams die To let new ones begin Lay My gifts upon the stone Turn and walk away Some will follow me home (You gotta) Stop Let it all sink in Old dreams die To let new ones begin Lay Your gifts upon the stone Turn and walk away Some will follow you home

Who Will Be There 03:55
lyrics

Who will speak when my voice is gone Who can I cling to when I’m weak Who will show the way when I no longer see Who will be there for me It kills me to sit here in silence But sometimes I’m too scared to ask What if echoes are answers And no one is up for the task My sorrow’s too heavy The road is too long But I believe in kindness of strangers Ao I sing them this song Will you speak when my voice is gone Can I cling to you when I’m weak Will you take my hand when it’s shakin’ and pale Will you be there for me Yes I will sing for you Open my heart to you Lay myself down on the line … If I ever needed someone It’s now that I’m feeling this pain Is the silence your answer Or am I the one who must change I gave up the doubt That left me so hard You know I walk to you naked Wearing only my scars He will sing when my voices is gone I cling to Him when I’m weak He’ll show the way when I no longer breathe He will be there for me I know He will be there I pray He will be there I believe He will be there … for me

Spin Around 03:33
lyrics

They say that you’re a soul on fire But nothing keeps you warm at night And every time I try to hold you I am sent to play outside All the other kids they know About the ghost that guards your door So what’s the secret code to let me in? Someday I’d like to crawl inside you skin Yeah … I wonder if you are aware The monumental cross you bear Is the ignorance and lies that someone else put there Who will cry humanity When innocence is burned by thieves Don’t you even dare to let them win We;re pieces of a perfect love that sometimes don’t fit in So we … SPin around spin around ‘til the walls fall down I’m only hoping Spin around spin around ‘til we’re off the ground Out in the open Only stones are turned When lifted by the words It’s a sin to kill a mockingbird Someday I’d like to crawl inside your skin We’re pieces of a perfect love that sometimes don’t fit in So we Spin around spin around ‘til the walls fall down Spin around spin around ‘til we’re off the ground Only stones are turned Spin around spin around ‘til the walls fall down Spin around spin around ‘til we’re off the ground Out in the open Only stones are turned When lifted by the words It’s a sin to kill a mockingbird

Hit Song 03:57

Dear old diary, lyrics and a piano stool Throw out the window down into my neighbors pool I read your rant online We’re a hot mess, I confess Cat peed in your bed Blame me for his psycho side Bring it on - I could use the story line Don’t you know that i’m just using you? It’s true We talk all night, it turns into dramarama When you wake up you say that you don’t wanna Love me leave me then you silly string me alone It;s all wrong, but I could write a hit song Ooooh oh yeah I could write a hit song Your best frenemy - can you believe he hit me on Not my fault you left me in the VIP While you hung out with Cuervo and a lime on my dime I’m smacked upside the head, now I’m seeing double I think it’s time we consciously uncouple Alert the press, send out an APB - I’m free We talk all night, it turns to dramarama When I wake up I think that I don’t wanna Love you leave you then I silly string you along, it’s so wrong But I could write a hit song I walk on eggshells in stilettos and you Pick a fight and so we go commando Make up break up then we present to get along, it’s all wrong But I could write a hit song Ooooh oh yeah I could write a hit song Your my muse and I’m a loser Your my muse and I’m a loser (Repeat Chorus 2)

Stronger Together 03:01
lyrics

You know by the shred of rope just how precious it is We hold onto hope and never lose sight of the prize So is it any wonder that I’m looking at you When life throws a curve & can’t find the nerve to swing through Stronger together The harder they try No one can ever Take this away And now it’s my turn I have learned all the ways of your world The light and the dark and the feelings between the unflurl And if you ever wonder who will catch you mid air When the sky’s falling down and the burden is too much to bear I will We’re stronger together The harder they try No one can eber Take this away You can’t steal a heart that’s full cuz it’s too big to hold You can’t beat a dream that’s real cuz it’s meant to unfold Is it any wonder that I’m looking at you An angel of sorts and of course you’re the one that came true Stronger together The harder we try For loving you I’m better You’re my peace of mind Stronger together The harder they try No one can ever Take this away

Carry Me Away 03:51
lyrics

The moon falls low I got nowhere to go So I look for a sign That you won’t mind if I say No it’s not what it seems But he forgets that I dream And I reach for the ones That don;t come undone Maybe I pull too hard Maybe I push too far Staring at time gone by Everything moves but me And I’m stuck here on my feet So please Carry away … carry me away … carry me away Oh Lord I know I’m in trouble again And I’m wondering when It’ll catch up with me Are we chained at the hip Do we barely exists Til we turn to the ones That don’t come undone Maybe I pull too hard Maybe I push too far Staring at time gone by Everything moves but me And I’m still stuck here on my feet So please Carry me away … carry me away … carry me away Do you remember you tried to impress me You used to caress me when times were hard Do you remember the first time you kissed me It suddenly hit me - we were strung out on stars Carry me away … carry me away … carry me away (2x)

Not Alive 03:53
lyrics

It is life or is it death Take what you want I’ll take the rest Is it love or is it lust Feel what you want I don’t feel much There’s a better place outside your door I’ll leave it open when I go I am following a ghost I see Or is it that it follows me I can’t hear my heart beat I can’t feel the rea; things I don’t wanna know why I’m not alive Don’t wanna know why I’m not alive Don’t you make me go there Black and white - it’s not fair I’m inside the grime that’s in between (So) I don’t need to bleed Are you fine or do you freeze When the fear weakness your knees Do you fall or do you flee When the truth won’t set you free Can you face the mirror - see right through All the shadows taunting you You see we are all one and the same There is no reason - only blame … (why) You can’t hear your heart beat You can’t feel the real things You don’t wanna know that you’re not alive I won’t make you go there Black and white - it’s not fair I’m good inside the grime that’s in between So don’t you bleed for me All the fear And all the shame We wash it down with novocaine No regrets And no remorse The veins run clear There’s nothing left to heal I can’t hear my heart beat I can’t feel the real things I don’t wanna know why I’m not alive Don;t you make me go there Black and white - I don’t care I’m inside the grime that’s in between (and) I don’t need to bleed

Anesthesia 03:30

First I feel the cold Then I feel the freeze Then the liquid kitty running viral through my stream Staring at the blue Faces fade to gray As I am dismantled and the pieces laid on trays In the best sleep It’s the best sleep Crack in my guitar Coyote on the corner Spackle on the sky I think I better tell the owner Rip tide through a tunne; Weather’s getter warmer Maybe I’m in Mexico or trippin’ with stoner In the best sleep In the best sleep It’s the best sleep Horizontal trap Locked inside my brain Hear the chain saw moto running it scrapes against the pane Then out of the blue A circle of white I’m lifted by an army and they’re shouting vital signs Can it be my love Can it be my life Can it be that every vessel pours out sacred wine In the best sleep In the best sleep It’s the best sleep

Hey check it out Mama’s got a junky ride Get in the banana I’ll take you down to Riverside Sometimes you gotta kick your ass out of the valley Say buh bye to blues, hello to Good Time Sally She’s got the juice, Jumbalaya and a creamery They even cross the border When they hear about her greenery Sometimes you gotta flip you man like a patty Say buh bye to blues, hello to Good Time Sally I don’t know why we waited so long to go there And hang out a little bit Kick off those high button boots and let down your long hair Yeah whooo! Somebody told me Sally has a record deal She can’t play a note But damn the girl has got the feel She was on stage one night the sisters took a tally It was unanimous, we voted good time Sally Go girl! Looks like Jared Leto But he’s a little prettier Some say she’s ghetto With a little salt and vinegar I think she’s cooler than popsicles in mid July She’s be my ruler if I could ever get that high I don’t know why we waited so long to get there And hang out a little bit Shake every bone in your body Get crazy then don’t care Nobody give a shit Everything’s free Everybody’s happy Never felt so special ‘til danced with Good Time Sally I don’t know why we waited so long to go there Yeah All my life I played it so safe, so straight … like a ruler It’s my time to open the gates Let you freak flag fly I don’t know why we waited so long to go there And hang out a little bit Shake every bone in your body Get crazy they don;t care Nobody gives a shit Everything’s free Everybody’s happy You’ll feel so special when you dance with Good Time Sally I don’t know why we waited so long to go there Yeah Whooo! Let your freak flag funky fly

The rug is plush and crawling with shame Droves of spirits walk through pile to the drain You’d like to clean up but it’s too late for that Peel your eyes open up but it’s too late for that Peel your eyes open and hang from your woes like a bat Gray line static and news Spew from a little black box of fools There’s a star in the sky That knows every place you hide You think you’re so bold She swallows you whole when you Try try try Hard to be you It’s so hard to be you The keys are lost by the bed and the post You can’t reach anything more than your knees or your toes You pick up the phone but it’s too late for that Cry to yourself You’re so much more beautiful sad Complicated and compromised No one can tell you’re torn at the seams from behinds There;s a star in the sky That knows every place you hide You think you’re so cool but you break all the rules when you Lie lie lie There is an ocean wide that follows through your soul tonight You think you’re so deep but the secrets you keep drag you Down down down Hard to be you It’s so hard to be you Over the top and under the gun Can’t you see there’s nowhere you can run There’s a star in the sky That knows everyplace you hide You think you;re so bold but she swallows you whole when you Try try try There’s an ocean wide that flows through your soul tonight And you think you’re so deep but the secrets you keep drag you Down down down Hard to be you It’s so hard to be you Hard to be you
