What Is To Be
I sit here in the morning
Wondering what is to be
A better day
Than the one previously
So I go on
Or head straight to my grave
Things are not changeing
They are taking away
All the fun of life once held
No longer felt
I'm heading back into hell

The Patron Saint Of Liars And Fakes
I'm holding out and I'm holding on to every letter and every song
I pulled myself out of the day we ever had to meet
Are you through with me?
So
And when it all goes to hell
Will you be able to tell me sorry with a straight face
And when it all goes to hell
Will you be able to tell me sorry with a straight face
I'm all ears and I'm all scars to hear you tell me
"Boys like you, you try too hard to look not quite as desperate."
Well I'm hanging on
But I still know the way to make your makeup run
So
And when it all goes to hell
Will you be able to tell me sorry with a straight face
And when it all goes to hell
Will you be able to tell me sorry with a straight face
And when it all goes to hell
Will you be able to tell me sorry with a straight face
And when it all goes to hell (take this to your grave )
Will you be able to tell (Ill take it to mine) me sorry with a straight face
And when it all goes to hell
And when it all goes to hell
And when it all goes to hell
And when it all goes

A Song Of Faith
You can't let it get you down
No no no no no
No no no no no
No no oh no no
Don't let it get you down
Just when everything seems to be going alright
Some unexpected misery enters your life
Then you ask your self how could this be wondering why
I've been there
You see your whole world come crashing down
All at one time
Your bodies weak from all the worrying
And so is you mind
Your walking down that rocky road
But things will get better
Cause trouble won't last forever
You can't let it get you down
Not now
You've come to far to turn around
You gotta walk with your head up high
Believing you can reach the sky
You can't let it get you down
Have you ever felt the need to get away from it all
The person that you care about the most just broke your heart
Just to be in the same room with them
You can't stand the thought
I've been there
You don't know if your relationship is worth holding on
How much longer can you take being treated so wrong
You're confused on what to do
But no matter what you do
You're gonna make it through
Oh, take it from me
The only thing you need is a little faith
The size of a mustard seed
You may cry through the night but hold on
Cause joy comes in the morning
In the morning
Joy comes in the morning
Have a little faith
Just a little faith
And you can make it
So don't you give up
Don't you let nobody turn you around
Don't you let nobody tuen you around
Keep your head up to the sky
Believe in yourself

Hold On
I was doomed riding on top a black horse.
Whatever prize there was I could only observe where the troubles starts.
Where does it end?
I cannot be cured...mmm...but if...
I know life would be different if I held on, held on.
I know I could be something if I held on.
Gave her life away. Put it in my pocket when it should've been framed.
Oh lost it's shine. Gotta' get this out of my head, out of my head.
How could it end...end like this?
I could've been...
I know life would be different had I held on, held on.
I know I could've been something had I held on, held on.
I know I could be something if I held on, held on.
I know life would be different if I held on, held on.
Held on, held on, if I held on, held on, if I held on, held on, if I held on.

I once felt
Sometimes I wish I could rewind my life.
Put right all the things that went wrong.
I allways felt my life was a stife.
I once felt alive now I feel so very dead.
My head is filled with dread.
Many times I wish I could turn things around.
To some how change my life.
And end my strife.
All I ever wanted was to live my life freely.
But somewhere along the line,
There people would be putting me down.
And having something to say.
And deep In my heart and soul,
Lay the memories I hate.
In the end I knew the odds were against me.
So I tunt my back and left it all.
I thought taking my life was the only way.

Choose Your Beliefs
Do you spend all your time
Wondering why you did the things you did?
Do you wonder if you could have changed?
Instead you ran and hid
Don't believe in what they tell you
Don't believe in what you see
Don't believe in what the people say
Life, it ain't easy
It will knock you down
Spin you around
Like you're a plaything of the world
You just gotta get up, get straight
Get back on that path you're taking
You just gotta hold on, be strong
Life ain't about just hesitating
Don't believe in what you learn at school
Don't believe in what you thought you knew
Don't believe in those who don't believe
Just believe in you

Bordom
Sitting
Nothing
No sound
Not even the dog in the back
Then a song comes up
Same ol song
Never ending
I just keep pushing play
Thinking
What will tomarrow be like
Nothing
Same ol life
Same ol thing
Nothing changing
Not even the song
Not the dog barking
Not the creaks and cracks of the haunted floor
Not the feel of someone watching
Not the wish of something else
Nothing changeing ever
I guess nothing silent
Just every same thing
Boring
Im lost in bordom
Ready lets push play
dododo
Same ol song
Nothing changeing
Everything the same
Boring life
No Change
Rarely ever
Boring life
click clack
same ol anoying keyboard
Sound coming barely over that boring song
Does anything change
Or is life ment to be Boring
Dull
Nothing life
Was that a sound?
Phone ring?
Some one home?
Or is the nothing boring life getting to me?
Am I going insane?
Still no change
Nothing at all
Push play again

Straight To Hell
If you can play on the fiddle
Hows about a british reel?
Speaking in quotation
As railhead towns feel the steel
Water froze
Clear as winter ice
This is your paradise
There aint no need for you
There aint no need for you
Go straight to hell boys
Straight to hell boys
You wanna join in a chorus
Of the amerasian blues
When its christmas in ho chi minh
Oh poppa san take me home
See me got a photograph of you mamma-san
Oh poppa san take me home
Oh take me home
Straight to hell
Go straight to hell
Go straight to hell boys
Straight to hell
Can you cough it up loud and strong
The immigrants
Wanna sing all night long
It could be anywhere
Could be any hemisphere
And no mans land
And there aint no asylum here
King solomon he never lived round here
Go straight to hell boys
Go straight to hell boys
Straight to hell
Straight to hell boys

I Felt Freed
One day I awakened,
And there was an insignificance I sensed,
From yesterday!
That cleared the morning air.
There was something about my life,
That had arrived and I liked.
Appearing in my sight...
With such a happiness I could not ignore.
It was there to make certain,
I had been aware.
And whatever to me was done and/or said,
Before I laid my head down in my bed...
Prepared to flee.
Somehow this was unknown to me.
And when I had awakened it had fled!
No longer to me to be important.
To address as my priorities.
And I felt freed!
I felt freed.
I felt...
Freed!
To live a life much more motivated.
With a quest to face challenges...
I now seek and dare!
As opportunities to prove...
I can move anything off my path,
That isn't of benefit and doesn't belong there!
And I felt freed!
I felt freed.
I felt...
Freed!

Remembering The Days
As I sit here
Remembering the days
That have now faded into memories
Wondering if I had known
What was ahead
Would I have held on
A little longer to what
I had
For looking back
I see that what I once had
Is far greater than
Anything I have now
Oh if only we could go back
Even for a day
Maybe the pain of today
Would go away

Unprodigal Daughter
I had disengaged to avoid being totaled
I would run away and say good riddance, soon enough
I had grown disgusted by your small-minded ceiling
Imagine myself bolting had not been difficult
Soon be my life
Soon be my pace
Soon be my choice of which youll have no part of
Unprodigal daughter and Im heading for the west
Disenchanted daughter and this plane cannot fly fast enough
Unencumbered daughter hit the ground running at last
Id invite you but Im busy being unoppressed
I hit the ground running, although I know not what toward
I hit the town feeling, forgetting all that came before
I felt primed and ready, once surrounded by the pawns
I felt culture shocked, but dissuaded, I was not
This is my town
This is my voice
This is my taste of which youve have no part of
Unprodigal daughter and Im heading for the west
Disenchanted daughter and this plane cannot fly fast enough
Unencumbered daughter hit the ground running at last
Id invite you but Im busy being unoppressed
One day Ill saddle back and speak of foreign adventures
One day Ill double back and tell you about these unfettered years
One day Ill look back and feel something other than relieved
Glad that I left when I did before, I know you, you cant get the best of me
When Id speak of artistry you would roll your eyes skyward
When Id speak of spirituality you would label it absurd
When I spoke of possibility you would frown and shake your head
If I had stayed much longer, Id have surely imploded
These are my words
This is my house
These are my friends of which youve had no part
Unprodigal daughter and Im heading for the west
Disenchanted daughter and this plane cannot fly fast enough
Unencumbered daughter hit the ground running at last
Id invite you but Im busy being unoppressed
Unprodigal daughter and Im heading for the west
Disenchanted daughter and this plane cannot fly fast enough
Unencumbered daughter hit the ground running at last
Id invite you but Im busy being unoppressed

Heading South
Orbison/dees
I want to talk to folks back home again, to walk along a lonely country lane
To spend some time with that woman of mine, heading south, heading south
Things look bright and I feel alright yeah Im heading south
Heading south to see the sun go down on camp fire light,to join the singing at night
Heading south to cotton rows and honeysuckle bloom
Under the cumberland moon heading south, heading south
Give me room to travel on my way to a place where dreams all fade away
Where the river flows and tobacco grows heading south heading south
Cause the sun is hot and people love a lot yeah Im heading south
Heading south to see the sun go down on camp fire light, to join the singing at night
Heading south to cotton rows and honeysuckle bloom under the cumberland moon
Heading south, heading south

Won't Back Down
I know what darkness means
(and the void you left for me)
the isolation stings
(so thick it wants to bleed)
the echoes in my brain
(all the things you said to me)
you took my everything
Now I'm coming for you
I won't back down
I will not bow
I've come to bring you hell
And I can't forget
things you did
I've come to bring you hell
The shadow that you see
(in the places that you sleep)
are memories of me
(you better pray your soul to keep)
the truth behind you eyes
(you know the things you never see)
your darkest little lies
(I'm coming for you)
I won't back down
I will not bow
I've come to bring you hell
And I can't forget things you did
I've come to bring you hell
All the scars that never heal
All the wounds that will not seal
I will not forget the days
Theses memories never fall
I won't back down
I will not bow
And I can't forget
things you did
I've come to bring you hell
I've come to bring you hell
I've come to bring you hell
I've come to bring you hell
I've come to bring you hell
I've come to bring you hell
I've come to bring you hell
I've come to bring you hell
I've come to bring you hell

Back To The Familiy
My telephone wakes me in the morning.
Have to get up to answer the call,
So I think I'll go back to the family
Where no one can ring me at all.
Living this life has its problems,
So I think that I'll give it a break.
Oh, I'm going back to the family
'Cause I've had about all I can take.
Master's in the counting house
Counting all his money.
Sister's sitting by the mirror
She thinks her hair looks funny.
And here am I thinking to myself,
Just a-wondering what are things to do.
I think I enjoyed all my problems
Where I did not get nothing for free.
Oh, I'm going back to the family.
Doing nothing is bothering me.
I'll get a train back to the city.
That soft life is getting me down.
There's more fun away from the family.
Get some action when I pull into the town.
Everything I do is wrong.
What the hell was I thinking?
Phone keeps ringing all day long.
I got no time for thinking.
And every day there's the same old way.
They're giving me too much to do

Trouble
(stewart / omartian)
Looking out on the city tonight and Im wondering why
Trying to figure out what Im doing wrong
I am lost in an ocean of mixed emotions now
Everything I held sacred now has gone
Here am I far from home
Learning how to be alone
Silly me I should of guessed
Never settle on second best
Time for me to reassess
Chorus:
Heading into trouble
I am always heading into trouble
Sideways, downways
Heading into trouble
Now Im losing you
Its gonna be a lonely summer without you round
Ill even miss the way you sing off key
Down in the market the reggae bands wont sound the same
Old joe says without you they just dont believe
Now I am no longer sure
Whos gonna open every door
The love I take and couldnt share
The warmth I had but didnt care
To give myself I never dared
(chorus)
Hope it all goes well in the future for you my dear
Hope you find where your heart truly belongs
I dont know about me and tomorrow
cause youre gonna be a hard act to follow
Ill miss you baby every day even though youre far away
Heres to you in every way
(chorus)

Previously we were together
Previously we were together
and your gaze, the way you shake your head
is well known and I must except
that I cannot shake off this feeling.
Previously I had been at this place
and surely this meeting is destined.
Maybe I have embraced you somewhere
while emotions now clench me
and now that you also recognize me
your eyes are heavenly blue
and suddenly I have won you back
with unending love
and let us stay together
slowly but surely get all the lost years back.

Come Back To Bed
Still is the life
of your room when you're not in sight
And all of your things
Tell the sweetest storyline
Your tears on these sheets
And your footsteps are down the hall
Tell me what I did
I can't find where the moment went wrong at all
You can be mad in the morning
I'll take back what I said
Just don't leave me alone here
It's cold, baby
Come back to bed, Come back to bed
Come back to bed, Come back to bed
Come on back to bed
What will this fix?
You know you're not a quick forgive
And I wont sleep through this
I survive on the breath you are finished with
You can be mad in the morning
I'll take back what I said
Just dont leave me alone here
It's cold, baby
Come back to bed, Come back to bed
Come back to bed, Come back to bed
You can be mad in the morning
Or the afternoon instead
But don't leave me 98 and 6 degrees of seperation from you, baby
Come back to bed x4
Don't hold your love over my head x5

Locked Down
[Chrous]
I will miss all the things I have,
I will miss making love to my girl,
I will miss all my kids,
my loot, and my friends,
I will miss all good times I've had
Can't believe I'm locked down
[Verse 1]
Where did things go wrong for me?
Now I'm in the cell,
sitting by my self,
wondering what the hell has happened,
My freedom has been taking from me,
now I'm liars, shysters and killers rapist, and robbers even drug dealers,
I don't want my life ending here,
I got 5 minutes on the phone with my girl and I'm lonely,
and niggas already screaming phone check homie,
how ill I make up in here,
I want to go home, I ain't down with this,
I can't start to tell you all the things I will miss.
[Chorus]
[Verse 2]
Damn God, I've shouldn't had lost my head, why didn't someone stop me, why did I lose my cool, now I'm the yard will all
these other fools,
now I got a learn a whole new life, cause this is where I'll be counting down my days, rotten in my cell, til' I'm let
free, How did my life end up here, and here is not a game, every man for self, you can't trust no one else, I'm ready for
whatever goes down, but what type of life is this to live, for an R&B singer now
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
I can't believe I got sent up for this,
Doing a ten year bid for self-defense,
My life is lost and it's no longer mine,
I'm here, I'm stuck, now all I got is time, ooh,
(I will miss)
my kids
(I will miss)
making love to my girl
(I will miss)
my firends , my loot, my crib
[Repeat 2x]
[(Chorus) until fade]

I can just picture you all sitting there 2
can just picture it in my head.
All of you sitting there.
My beloved family.
Asking yourselves why.
Why'd she do it
What possed her
But I think you no the answers.
I'd had a lot of abuse.
Memories dragging me down
Deppresion taking over.
Suicide reared its head.
Im sorry that i did this.
But really you'll forget me soon.
Be not sad and angry.
You never really understood me
Or my actions
So I doubt you'll understand this.
I can see you all sat there
Thinking and wondering why.
Why such a waste.
Im sorry i did give you all a thought.
But my need to die was grater.
It was stonger than any thing.
Anything i ever felt before.
Well none of that matters now
Im gone from this shitty life of pain.
Im so sorry
Really i am
But i just couldnt face another day.
So see it really was the best way.
It was my only hope
