Burned Alive

Flip those channels on TV
The circus of dancing clowns is free
If it’s on your screen it must be true
Or is that just what they think of you?
Don’t you dare now
Don’t you dare
You shouldn’t question what they say
But you want to
You shouldn’t duck and walk away
But you need to
You’ll be burned alive
If you do
Cuz they won’t have none of this
They’ll string you up upon that steak
And burn you alive
It’s in this book held in his hand
You should do as they command
Your free will is never free
It’ll cost you most your sanity
Don’t you dare now
Don’t you dare
You shouldn’t question what they say
But you want to
You shouldn’t duck and walk away
But you need to
You’ll be burned alive
If you do
Cuz they won’t have none of this
They’ll string you up upon that steak
And burn you alive

Left For Dead

You are just not ready for this
Nothing's owed and nothing's ever gained
It's left it's right it's black it's white
Don't hold on too close to anything
It's not the way
It's gonna take you by surprise
It's gonna wreck you
Then it's gonna leave you there to die
Well it's blown by me how one could think
Respect is not a thing you give away
It's yes it's no it's high it's low
This game is too advanced for you to play
It's not the way
It's gonna take you by surprise
It's gonna wreck you
Then it's gonna leave you there to die

You Don't Have To Ask
05:14

Day breaks and your soul aches
You’re so tired of asking why
Miles and miles of heartbreaks
You used to laugh more than you cry
You won’t have to ask anymore
I know what they put you through
You won’t have to push me through the door
I’m not afraid to break right through
All that you’ve seen love bring
Is a reason not to try
Could my desire ever make you
Change the truth behind your sighs
You won’t have to ask anymore
I know what they put you through
You won’t have to push me through the door
I’m not afraid to break right through
Just let it go
Just let it in
You won’t have to ask anymore
I know what they put you through
You won’t have to push me through the door
I’m not afraid to break right through
Anywhere you are, my love
Is right where I want to be
Who I think you should be
You don’t have to ask of me

Paper Airplanes

They don’t know you
They don’t own you
There’s no way they should control you
What they say
And what they do
Is not the same, at least with you
They still think that you are blind
You’re not what they had in mind
Self destruction is defined
When you climb
You’ll fly so high
Like paper airplanes in the sky
We’ll fly so high
Spinning out until we die
In your mind
Your one true weapon
Locked and loaded aimed to heaven
Looking back
It’s all you needed
To protect your heart from bleeding
Let’s take measures, lets take time
As time ticks away without rhyme
This disaster that you find
You’ll climb
You’ll fly so high
Like paper airplanes in the sky
We’ll fly so high
Spinning out until we die

I Don't Mind The Rain
05:24

I don’t mind the rain
Falling on the roof
It’s been a welcome thing
Since I learned the truth
Now my baby’s gone
She ran off today
To help ease the pain
I don’t mind the rain
I don’t mind the rain
It happens all the time
Always comin back
Like an old friend of mine
Can’t say the pain is gone
Or that it’s hear to stay
But since you walked away
I don’t mind the rain
I don’t mind the rain
It whispers to my soul
Helps me deal with things
That I can’t control
This whiskey bottle’s dry
All your things are gone
Love’s washed down the drain
So bring on the rain
I don’t mind the rain
It happens all the time
Always comin back
Like an old friend of mine
Can’t say the pain is gone
Or that it’s hear to stay
But since you walked away
I don’t mind the rain

Part Of The Plan

Build me up break me down
Show me how you want me around
Hold me under water 'till I almost drown
If what they say is true
I finally got a clue
I got better things to do than waste my time with you
You may try to break me
You may think you can
But now I'll cut you down right where you stand
It's all part of the plan
Twisting turning wretched lies
Silk screen smile hides demon eyes
You may have them fooled with your disguise
But behind the movie screen
Nothing is what it seems
I used to be blind but now I find
You may try to break me
You may think you can
But now I'll cut you down right where you stand
It's all part of the plan

Heart Of The Warrior
04:52

Out on the edge
Of this shady town
Is where you left your pride
When the world came down
Now the people say
You just ain't right
Each press of luck
Each roll of the dice
Is another chance
To shake loose this vice
Cuz there's something more
You know it's true
This crazy world hasn't given up on you
In the heart of the warrior
The battle rages on
To win this race
To prove that you belong
Don't lay down
Your arms tonight
Just hold your ground
With all of your might
As the world gets dark
There will shine a light
Now every day
There's a choice to make
Will you hold it tight?
Or will you let it break?
Will each twist and turn
Be the end of you?
Will you fight?
Or will you just let them through?
In the heart of the warrior
The battle rages on
To win this race
To prove that you belong

Trash

You ain’t got no shame
Everybody better know your name
You’re on top of your selfie game
Girl better get your money right
You ain’t stoppin’ till he makes you rich
Or at least till they scratch your itch
Some would call you a bitch
Girl you’re acting so uptight
You’re not Gold, no
You’re just trash
Bought and sold, oh
You’re just trash
Every man is all the same
At least that’s how you play your game
You say they are the ones to blame
But, girl, look in the mirror
Got that vodka smell on your breath
Princess crown nailed to your head
Who’s that man layin in your bed?
It’s becoming clearer
You’re not Gold, no
You’re just trash
Bought and sold, oh
You’re just trash
What could he buy you?
What could he say?
What will it cost to give your soul away?
20 different diamonds
All you can dream of
But that’s alright, I guess that’s love

With You
03:41
|

|
As time went on, I began to think
In the race of love, I was left behind
But then you came and dropped right in my life
With a single glance you changed my mind
I used to think I’d always be the lonely one
Then that moment came when I met you
Now I find my life has become more complete
Cuz there’s nowhere I’d rather be than with you
Black and white has become colored skies
Shades of grey are nowhere to be found
I was caught in the undertoe
Then you pulled me out before I drowned
I never thought that I would be the lucky one
Then that moment came when I met you
Now I find my life has become more complete
Cuz there’s nowhere I’d rather be than with you
Forever, now, I know I’ll be the lucky one
Hand in hand and side by side with you
Now my life has finally become more complete
And there’s nothing more that I would rather do
Than walking through this world that’s brand new
Yes there’s nowhere I’d rather be than with you

Take Me Home
04:50

I know a place to hide
Where the demons can't get inside
We can go and shut the world away
Close our eyes and dream of better days
Home, beneath the starry skies
Home, we can make it if we try
So let's pack our bags tonight
And go where everything feels right
Take me home
I can see the fear in your eyes
A fear that this world will soon capsize
There's a place that we can steal away
And it's ours no matter what they say
Home, beneath the starry skies
Home, we can make it if we try
So let's pack our bags tonight
And go where everything feels right
Take me home
