Changing
You look up at the sky
as you seem to notice
how she keeps changing
changing a different color
but no-one wants the blame
you will just leave it like this
she's only our earth, our mother
You keep on with progress
while she's slowly dieing
still you just don't give a damn
as you watch her crying
don't you think it's time
you need to give it a rest
you've done created such a mess
You close your eyes
so you won't have to believe
you just don't want to see
she don't mean a thing to me
I hear so many people say
look deep inside you
you're so damn naive
Nothing is left but ashes
in a dieing flame
we done let her burn
watched the whole place crumble
with your greed and corruption
still you never learn
Now is the time you need to realize
you need to change the damage done
before everything is gone
with your destruction
or just kiss it all good-bye
there won't be a new day
(spiritwind-2009)

I Don't Give
Every time you go away
It actually kinda makes my day
Every time you leave, you slam the door
You pick your words so carefully
You hate to think you're hurtin' me
You leave me laughing on the floor, 'cuz-
(Chorus)
I don't give it up,
I don't give a damn what you say about that
You know-
I don't give it up
I don't give a damn what you say about that
You know-
I'm not gonna cry about some stupid guy
A guy who thinks he's all that
I thought we were just hangin' out (hangin' out)
So why'd you kiss me on the mouth?
You thought the way you taste would get me high- (oh)
You went to all your friends to brag (to brag)
Guys are always such a drag (a drag)
Don't you know the reason the reason that I kissed you was to say good-bye?
(Chorus)
'Cuz I don't give it up
I don't give a damn what you say about that
You know-
I don't give it up

A guy who thinks he's all that
Hangin', hangin' out; I am simply
Hangin', hangin' out; I am simply
Hangin'... so why'd you kiss me on the mouth? (why'd you kiss me)
Don't you know that I-
I don't give a damn about you
I won't give it up, not for you
I don't give a damn about you
I won't give it up, not for you
I'm not gonna cry about some stupid guy
A guy who thinks he's all that
I don't give it up
I don't give a damn (I don't give it up)

I don't give it up (I don't give it up)
I don't give a damn ( I don't give a damn)-acapo

God Rest His Soul
A man lay dieing in the streets
A thousend people fell down on their knees
Any other day he would have been.....
Preaching
Reaching all the people there
Oh lord lord
But lord knows I cant change what I saw
I say God rest his soul
The memphis battelground was red
Cause blood came pouring from his head
Women and children fallin down.....
Crying
For the man they loved so well
Oh lord lord
But lord knows I cant change what I saw
I say God rest his soul
(I breake here)
Solo
But lord knows I cant change what I saw
I say God rest his soul
The morning sun will rise again
With all the passions growing thin
What we gonna do when war is come.. and wer
Dieing
Dieing for the cause I know
(yeah but)
But lord knows I cant change what I saw
Say God rest his soul

Right Before Your Eyes
When the door shuts
Don't worry about me
Its not attention that I want from you
I need you to trust who I'm gonna be
And in everything I'm going to do
Cause I'm not afraid
Of what I don't know
For understanding is all that I earn
What is for sure is I'm gonna to go
I'm gonna to live and I'm going to learn
And I know there will be mistakes that I will make
But I know they're not worse than chances I don't take, take
Right before your eyes I am changing, changing
New life on the inside I am changing, changing
When the door shuts
Its shuts in front of me
A new person that I have become
I follow my heart to my destiny
But living in fear and sorrow is done
There will be no more feeling that I'm all alone
I will surround myself with things that help me grow, grow
Right before your eyes I am changing, changing
New life on the inside I am changing, changing
Right before your eyes I am changing, changing
New life on the inside I am changing, changing
Right before your eyes I am changing, changing
New life on the inside I am changing, changing
Right before your eyes
Right before your eyes

What's up, the world is changing!
What's up, the world is changing! Coming out from outside, what do I see. The people are sad not happy and losing there jobs. How can they pay there bills and rent, mortgage on there house if they do not have no jobs. The people use to have a smile on there face because they have money to pay there bills and other things that have to be paid to. What's up, the world is changing! Coming out from outside, what do I see. The children use to played outside in front of the doors and the children use to laught at each other by joking. The children use to go to the store by themselves without getting hit by a bullet. The children use to socialize with other children by playing. Now, the children is dieing, crying, and continue to fantasizing. What's up, the world is changing! Coming out from outside, what do I see. The children is looking for love cannot find love from there home so, they are looking for the right one to give them love. The children looking in the wrong places to found love. It will be too late to tell the children that the love isn't out there. The love is inside there hearts and can they flll it?

Another Life
People's eyes say I'm no damn good
Shut down
And left lonely,
Only with the maybe we could
I stay inside because I'm misunderstood
I can't get no release
I'm shell-shocked
Once it never goes
A stranger to the people
I know who used to say,
"He never had a damn day"
Now I'm holding on to a candle-lit ghost
And silence brings no peace
But there's another life
Through a window pane
And I don't know why
I got a will to burn
You knock rumors at the shoppin' door
(Shoppin door)
Seven weeks, maybe seven more
(Seven more)
It's like a faceless seven-headed whore
The fight's knocked out of me
There's no measure for grief
And I confided with the sound
Break down
Great god of the hand-me-down
Opened the past around
Won a pepper, lost and found
The colors all turn to gray
Wait a minute in
Coming back from a down day, color wise
The city's playing a double feature today
And life is long, and something is wrong
But I wanna know what's going on and on
In another life
Cause it's good again
And we will never die
I've got a will to burn
To see you again
It's like another life
It's like a napkin pattern
A will to burn
(Do do do do do wooo)
Oh well time goes by
And I realize that I'm all right
You thought nothing would be the same
Then life comes 'round again
Equipped with set off prurience
And I'm caught up in what you say
And you make me count the time
Before it slips away
I can't stay and I cannot wait
And I'm greatful to with surpass the graveyard gate
The flickered flame is getting stronger
Like when the days start getting longer
I've got the rhythm down now, in the places we would
The Golden Gate is like my diving board
And life is pointless,
But what's so wrong with that?
Cause there's another life
And a sweeter pain
And we will never die
We've got a will to burn
To see you again
It's like another life
I feel the whole thing happen
The will to burn
To see you again
It's like another life
I got another life
I got another life (woooo...)

Photograph
Fear falls out like rain again
Washing over me
You say nothing will ever change
What do I believe
You fall deep inside again
There's nothing left to see
Weakness fills your heart again
You put it to rest
Hoping everything
You were never strong enough
Close my eyes again
Pray that I will not give up
I try to see your face again
A photograph of me
Your voice calling out again
Nothing left for me
You try to find your place again
Waiting just to breathe
Weakness takes your heart again
You put it to rest
Locked inside again
Locked inside again
Locked inside again
Hoping everything
You were never strong enough
Close my eyes again
Pray that I will not give up
Hoping everything
You were never strong enough
Close my eyes again
Pray that I will not give up
Did you
Forget about the things I said
Right the lies inside your head
I never tried to bring you down
Kill the pain and emptiness
Find your love and lose yourself
Well I hope that your just a memory
Locked inside again
Locked inside again
Locked inside again
Holding everything
You were never strong enough
Close my eyes again
Pray that I will not give up
Hoping everything
You were never strong enough
Close my eyes again
Pray that I will not give up

What Color Is....
what color is broke?
broke down, busted,
aint got a dime...
broke!
what color is hungry?
does it have a language
known only to empty bowls?
what color is homeless?
does it keep the body
warm in the night?
does anybody give a damn?
what color is jobless?
does it redeem the thief
that breaks out the window,
moving with silent desperation?
and what color is alone?
can anybody hear?
does anybody really give a damn?

Inside My Head
Every time you think of me like your goddamn trophy
It just pushes me away
Pushes me away
I never said that I'd make you mine
Why do you insist on pushing all the time
I know it's not my vivid imagination
Telling you lies
Telling you lies
It's funny how you found the time
To expose yourself and be another one of these
Psychos all around me
Psychos all around me
Like to say my head's not right
My head's not right
Medicated aren't we all
Turning into you
Got me crazed with what you do
Inside my head there's a vision of you
And nothing's changing
Nothing's changing
I want to run away
And you says it's alright
I want to run away
Walk away
Just go
I think you're pushing, pushing
To seek and discover to notice you're different than all the rest
Kepp telling me to ask why
Would it really hurt you to leave me alone sometimes
To seek and discover your genius uncovered
Your pain
Nothing's changing
Nothing's changing
Medicated aren't we all
Turn me into you
Got me crazed with what you do
Inside my head there's a vision of you
And nothing's changing
Nothing's changing
I want to run away
And you says it's alright
I want to run away
Pushing me away
Pushing me away
Pushing me away
Pushing me, pushing me
Pushing me
Medicated aren't we all
Turning into you
Got me crazed with what you do
Inside my head there's a vision of you
And nothing's changing
Medicated aren't we all
Turning into you
Got me crazed with what you do
You do
Inside my head there's a vision of you
And nothing's changing
Nothing's changing
Nothing's changing
Maybe it's not me
It's all inside my head
Maybe it's not me
It's all inside my head
And nothing's changing
It's all inside my head
And nothing's changing
It's all inside my head

In A Bed Of Thorned Roses
In a bed of thorned roses. Always try to love those closest. Even with pain so unbearable. I will deny the attraction. Its this immense chemical reaction. I wish I could say I love you. But you look the other way. Hate me today, hate me tomorrow. Oh how I wish the sorrow wouldn't make me feel so hollow. Cold am I till the day I die. I would cry if it allowed me heal. What is real? How should I feel. Protecting myself from a fate unknown. So alone. Raise in a broken home. I'm fighting my soul for control. Its mine damn it I'm too close to just let go. To only know something a little less shallow. Where are my values. Ive been suck in a machine that keeps asking, more change please. Climbing over the shoulders of great men. Thank god for what I have been given. Pray that this isn't the end of a friend. If so I blame it on my god damn ambition. It created a barrier around me. It wont let anybody in. Nothing will be ever be forgiven. Not even worth trying. Because my heart already dieing. In a bed of thorned roses

Is There a Right Time
Is there a 'right' time,
For you to know my love?
Midnight reaches only please you,
When there is a need
I am expected to feed!
But my love isn't there,
Just to fake the making.
Or waiting in a place,
For you to embrace and take it!
Inside I am dieing,
Feeling someone else
May have you elsewhere sighing!
And I will not guess...
As I choose to lay my suspicions to rest!
Give me reason to leave.
Give me something that says...
Your love for me is dead!
Instead of cold shoulders,
And a heart that doesn't touch!
Is there a 'right' time?
Turn on the light,
And express how you feel.
I don't want to have to shut down.
But I am prepared to show my back...
Before I turn you off!

My Give A Damn's Busted
(Tony Martin/Tom Shapiro/Joe Diffie)
Well you filled up my head with so many lies
You've twisted my heart 'til something snapped inside
I'd like to give it one more try
But, my give a damn's busted
You can crawl back home, say you were wrong
Stand out in the yard and cry all night long
Go ahead and water the lawn
My give a damn's busted
chorus:
I really wanna care
I wanna feel something
Let me dig a little deeper
No, sorry, nothing
You can say you've got issues
You can say you're a victim
It's all your parents' fault, I mean after all you didn't pick em
Maybe somebody else has got time to listen
My give a damn's busted
Well your therapist says it was all a mistake
A product of the Prozac and your codependent ways
So who's your enabler these days
My give a damn's busted
Chorus:
I really wanna care
I wanna feel something
Let me dig a little deeper
No, still nothing
It's a desperate situation
No tellin what you'll do
If I don't forgive you, you say your life is through
Come on give me something I can use
My give a damn's busted
Chorus:
Well, I really wanna care
I wanna feel something
Let me dig a little deeper
No, man, sorry
Just nothing, no
You've really done it this time
My give a damn's busted

God Damn Me
There isn't enough hot water to be in
There isn't enough salt lake to to lie in
There isn't enough sky to fly in
So softly
There isn't enough breath to breathe
Not for me
Oh God damn me
Oh God damn me
There isn't enough snow to see through
Snows too deep
There isn't enough fog to see through
Not through to me
There isn't enough gain to get from
Not from me
Oh God damn me
Oh God damn me
Nothing changes
Nothing we erase
Nothing to change
Nothing but me
Oh God damn me
Oh God damn me

Full Circle
Breaking out the drinks
As the heart sinks
Beneath the ocean
Over the highest peak
Speaking Greek
Never complete
Always in pieces
Fragments of the imagination
A souls abomination
Drawing the constellations
With blood so red
I should be dead
Or at least try and use my head
Common sense comes so slow
Running out of time
Losing my mind
Nothing will happen the way it is suppose to be
Their is no such thing as a destiny
There's only the here and now
No getting lost in the clouds
No alternate reality
No damn fantasy
Stop all your dreaming
Start using your eyes and start seeing
Believing in a higher power
Don't wait till your last dieing hour
Things can get very sour
Even angels can devour
Eat it all up
Spoon and fork in hand
Welcome to the damned
I should have ran
But that was never my plan
I tried so hard
Only to fall so far
A deep hole to the bottomless abyss
Are you ready to give it a kiss
Suck it all in
Keep in control
Duck and then just go
Faster and faster
It's my unending disaster
The sky is falling
The sun is exploding
Bones are breaking
Animals are dieing
Children are crying
All with the simplest of writings
cryptic runes with cryptic meanings
So demeaning
So deceiving
The lies are my foundation
If only to bridge the worlds so far apart
Evil is cupid with his hypnotizing darts
How they smart
Tear me down without a single sound
I was of the lost
But now I have been found
As I hit the ground
I went all the way around
A complete and full circle
Hope I can keep going
Without really knowing

Never Satisfied
Where do we go from here
There must be something near
Changing you, changing me forever
Places changes, faces change
Life is so very strange
Changing time, changing rhyme together
Theres no where else to go
This could be our last show
Changing dreams, changing schemes never
We are never satisfied
Love is gone, along with fun
Now were reaching for the gun
Changing cast, changing fast, no more tether
We are never satisfied

Even If
Stranded in the middle of a hurricane
I've got an umbrella but nowhere to stay
Do I give up now? Do I face the cold?
I better get some bowling
Looking to my left I see you coming
I'm alone and I'm scared and it's heading my way
Do I run? Do I hide? Do I dare close my eyes
Do I face the fear inside?
Time after time, Lord I'll keep running back to you
Keep running back to you
I realize this time that I'll be fine
[chorus]
Even if the stars fell like rain
Even if tomorrow never came
Even if the world and ocean crumble
Nothing's gonna stand in my way
Even if the sun left the sky
And even if these tears never dry
Even if the mountains fall and tumble
If what's left of me is taken
I will not be shaken
Landed in the middle of a desert
And I'm wondering why it keeps me alive
When the water I drink and the air that I breathe is dry
Time after time, Lord I'll keep running back to you
Keep running back to you
I realize this time that I'll be fine
[chorus]
Even if the stars fell like rain
Even if tomorrow never came
Even if the world and ocean crumble
Nothing's gonna stand in my way
Even if the sun left the sky
And even if these tears never dry
Even if the mountains fall and tumble
If what's left of me is taken
I will not be shaken
ba ba ba ba ba ba.....
Even if the top is bright
I'm gonna be alright
The world has fell and change
But you'll always stay the same
ba ba ba ba ba ba.....
You give me change
You give me hope
You give me love that doesnt change (2x)
Even if the stars..
[chorus] 2x
Even if the stars fell like rain
Even if tomorrow never came
Even if the world and ocean crumble

And even if these tears never dry
Even if the mountains fall and tumble
If what's left of me is taken

Broken Down
If you saw me standing there
out in the pouring rain
drowning in days of sorrow
behind the tears and pain
feeling nothing's left anymore
to hold onto here
on this broken down reservation road
You see just another broken down man
trying to make it through
lost in the hope's of tomorrow
of dreaming once again
would you lend a hand
and try to understand
If your children were hungry
with nothing left to eat
broken down in poverty
with no clothes to wear
or no shoes on thier feet
fallen by democracy
with a heart to share
would you give a damn
And would you just walk away
on the young and dying
would you just close the door
on the mother's crying
with no one here to hold
on this broken down reservation road

Now What
When I left and I said goodbye
Did you know that I meant it, mmmm, that time?
I guess that I didn't quite realize
What I was saying goodbye to - whoa, just yet
The only asphalt to pave my way - that was you
And damn it if I didn't try to do
Everything that I was supposed to
And now - what do I do now?
Oh, I don't know cuz I'm still leaving
Now - who's gonna save me next time?
Oh, not you - ooh, for the first time
And the road to get to the other side of your rainbow
It wasn't for me - oh, I guess
I couldn't live - not according to your path
I believe, at least
But damn it if I didn't give it a damn good shot
At least to try and be
And what do I do now
Oh, I don't know cuz I'm still leaving
And now - who's gonna save me next time?
No, not you - ooh, for the first time
But somehow I'll be alright
Somehow I'll be alright, ooh
When I left and I said goodbye
Did you know that I meant it that time?
And damn it if I didn't try to do
Everything that I was supposed to
And now - what do I do now?
Oh, I don't know
Oh, I'm leaving

Burn The School Down
She said
I lost my best friend last week at school
He got shot
Someone thought that he was part of something that
He was not
Now I'm watching all the cheerleaders show just how sad they are
When my friend used to come 'round
They used to laugh and egg his car
Now I'm gonna do my part as a concerned citizen
I think we should burn the school down
And start again
Burn it
'Till there's nothing left
Burn it
Just like all the rest
Burn it
Clear up all this mess
Burn it down
Education for the nation
Kids retaliate on each station
Expectation, violation
Pressure increased in each generation
Burn the school down
Burn the school down
Burn the school down, she said
Burn the school down
Burn the school down
Burn the school down, start again
'Cause now what I want to know
Will the eyes inside the back of your mind let it go?
Now all I want to know
Will the eyes inside the back of your mind let it go?
She says
I want to feel more comfort in my own skin
But everyone around me makes me feel like
I'm worth less than them
Burn the school down
Burn the school down
Burn the school down, she said
Burn the school down
Burn the school down
Burn the school down, start again
Burn it
'Till there's nothing left
Burn it
Just like all the rest
Burn it
Clear up all this mess
Burn it down
'Cause now what I want to know
Will the eyes inside the back of your mind let it go?
Now all I want to know
Will the eyes inside the back of your mind let it go?
Now all I want to know
Will the eyes inside the back of your mind let it go?
Now all I want to know
Will the eyes inside the back of your mind let it go?
Burn the school down
Burn the school down
Burn the school down, right?
Burn the school down
Burn the school down
Burn the school down, right?
Burn the school down
Burn the school down
Burn the school down, right?
Burn the school down
Burn the school down
Burn the school down, right
Burn it
'Till there's nothing left
Burn it
Just like all the rest
Burn it
Clear up all this mess
Burn it down
'Cause now what I want to know
Will the eyes inside the back of your mind let it go?
Now all I want to know
