“UNDERTOW”
I let my heart get away, yeah
And I tried to fix the next day, yeah
But everything you say and do, it’s a lie
I’m falling out ‘cause it ain’t true, it’s a lie
Now you never seem to try, yeah
And you held back the reasons why, yeah
But everything you say and do, it’s a lie
I’m falling out ‘cause it ain’t true, it’s a lie
Baby, it’s time to let it go
I’m falling down in your undertow
You’ve been holding on, as I beg for my life
You pull me down in your undertow
And we thought we might get through it, yeah
We felt like we had to prove it, yeah
But every time you raise the bar, it’s a lie
And now I went out way too far, it’s a lie
Baby, it’s time to let it go
I’m falling down in your undertow
You’ve been holding on, as I beg for my life
You pull me down in your undertow
It’s all done, it’s easily said
Break the ties and leave it for dead
Turn around and head for the shore
Move along, I don’t know if I can be so strong
Baby, it’s time to let it go
I’m falling down in your undertow
You’ve been holding on, as I beg for my life
You pull me down in your undertow

All You Got

“ALL YOU GOT"
Magic’s in you
It’s time to fly
World’s wide open
Reach for the sky
Can’t have fear
Can’t have doubt
Don’t you know what it’s all about?
Gotta give it all you got (give it your best shot)
Gotta give it all you got
Gotta give it all you got
Gotta give it all you got
Don’t stop
It’s all about
Winning
Indecision is not your friend
Think for a moment, let’s not pretend
It’s how you’re thinking
You make it so
Just keep believing
And watch it flow
Gotta give it all you got (give it your best shot)
Gotta give it all you got
Gotta give it all you got
Gotta give it all you got
And I know what you’re feeling inside
Have the power in you
It’s time you realize
Grab a hold of the dreams inside
Have the power in you
Make the world your prize
Now you feel the high
Have no fear
Have no doubt
Just stand up to scream and shout
Cause you gotta start believing
Cause your life is so intriguing
Tip the scales in your favor
Life is here for you to savor
No one here is gonna stop you
No one here is gonna top you
All their words they just mean zero
Take the world you are the hero
And I know what you’re feeling inside
Have the power in you
It’s time you realize
Grab a hold of the dreams inside
Have the power in you
Make the world your prize
Magic’s in you
It’s time to fly
World’s wide open
Reach for the sky
Gotta give it all you got (give it your best shot)
Gotta give it all you got
Gotta give it all you got
Gotta give it all you got

“COLD”
And I’m feeling so damn cold
Feeling like you should know
You're freezing me out slow
And I need you to go
As I reach for you
You’re nowhere to be found
Have you nothing to give?
What’s the reason to live?
Think I remember why
Surrender and deny
All that I’m feeling inside
You’re so damn cold
You're chilled to core (so cold)
Bitter, lifeless, and cruel (so cold)
You’re frozen to the touch (so cold)
And it's all too much
You, with your evil, icy eyes
Unwilling to compromise
No matter what the cost
All the people you’ve crossed
You, with your selfish, frigid heart
Pretending from the start
So far from innocent
All I feel is lament
As I reach for you
You’re nowhere to be found
Have you nothing to give?
What’s the reason to live?
Think I remember why
Surrender and deny
All that I’m feeling inside
You're so damn cold
When I see the coldness in your eyes, I see the death of me
To think I’d trust in you, it’s just a lie
As you take hold of my flaming soul
And I'm feeling so damn cold
Feeling like you should know
You're freezing me out slow
And I need you to go
You're chilled to core (so cold)
Bitter, lifeless, and cruel (so cold)
You're frozen to the touch (so cold)
And it's all too much
Think I remember why
Surrender and deny
All that I’m feeling inside
You’re so damn cold

"OVER"
We stand, we fall
It all comes crashing down
How can this go on?
Sometimes, I dream
Of what things might have been
But you’re long, long gone
Nothing left to say (it’s over)
Walk away (it’s over)
Heart in hands (it’s over)
Help me understand (over)
It’s been so long
My heart’s healing still today
I’m just a memory from your past
Someone, somewhere
Is holding you tonight
And it hurts so bad
Nothing left to say (it’s over)
Walk away (it’s over)
Heart in hands (it’s over)
Help me understand (over)
But we knew for all along (it's over)
That this love could not go on
Over now, it's over now

“CONSEQUENCE”
I’m thinking about the words you say
I’m thinking there’s another way
It never mattered much to you
Doing what you wanna do
It seems you never heed advice
It seems as though you don’t look twice
As you live your life dangerously
As you tear my soul and leave
It’s a shame you can’t relate
To the games that you create
Maybe you just don’t care
You build it up just to throw it away
It’s a rush to get you there
Taking out everything in your way
Baby, you’re black and white
No reason or rhyme, you gotta be right
Babe got you figured out
No doubt you’re ready for a fight
Wondering what should I do, is it all about you? (about you)
Knock me down again, is it all about you? (about you)
Confusion deep inside, is it all about you? (about you)
Screaming just to be heard, is it all about you? (about you)
Maybe you play the fool
Believing your story all the day
Maybe you don’t have rules
Taking out everything in your way
Maybe you’re just a fake
So much better than those around you
Maybe it’s give and take
Never see another point of view
Cruel things inside, all the while
You can’t hide your foolish pride
No consequence
Tear it down and let it lie
Without regret, no safety net
No consequence
You can’t hide your foolish pride
No consequence
Tear it down and let it lie
Without regret, no safety net
No consequence
As you live your life dangerously
As you tear my soul and leave
To you, there’s no consequence

The Other Side

“THE OTHER SIDE”
Could you open up your heart to be here with me?
Could you put aside the games, lies and deceit?
Could you open up your life, just one more try?
Would the pain that you feel tear you apart?
How hard would you try to see the other side, the other side of me?
It’s my heart bleeding
How hard would you try to keep it all alive, in spite of me?
If I’m believing
Open up your mind to what you can conceive
Is it here with me, do you still believe?
I always wanted you
I always wanted you with me (with me)
Broken hearted soul inside, living day to day
When there’s nothing left to give, it all fades away
In our minds it’s still the same, we still remain
When the passion that we feel gives way to pain
How hard would you try to see the other side, the other side of me?
It’s my heart bleeding
How hard would you try to keep it alive, in spite of me?
If I’m believing
Open up your mind to what you can conceive
Is it here with me, do you still believe?
I always wanted you
I always wanted you with me (with me)
And I understand it’s real, what’s in front of me
Can you believe in me?
How hard would you try to see the other side, other side of me?
It’s my heart bleeding
How hard would you try to keep it all alive, in spite of me?
If I’m believing
Open up your mind to what you can conceive
Is it here with me, do you still believe?
I always wanted you
I never want to say goodbye (goodbye)
The other side of me
The other side of me

“CONTROL”
I’ve heard a million stories, just alibis
I’ve heard you to try to say, the reasons why
Round and round we go, what do you want?
Crazy as it seems, I long to know
Time and time again, I’m playing the fool
No matter how, we’re playing by your rules
Helplessness replete, I’m kneeling at your feet
You know I can’t deny, you’re in control
What’s the sense in trying when I know you’re lying?
You got me wrapped up tight, you’re in control
Why can’t I help myself and walk away?
I know things haven’t changed since yesterday
Round and round we go, what do you want?
Crazy as it seems, I long to know
Time and time again, I’m playing the fool
No matter how, we’re playing by your rules
Helplessness replete, I’m kneeling at your feet
You know I can’t deny, you’re in control
And I know the feeling’s never gonna die
I’ll make a break and walk away, away
Helplessness replete, I’m kneeling at your feet
You know I can’t deny, you’re in control
What’s the sense in trying when I know you’re lying?
Got me wrapped up tight, you’re in control
Helplessness replete, I’m kneeling at your feet
You know I can’t deny, you’re in control
What’s the sense in trying when I know you’re lying?
Got me wrapped up tight, you’re in control

Serpent's Kiss

"SERPENT'S KISS"
Seems my time is running out with you
And I don’t know what to do
I lust your everything
I know it’s wrong
Yet I still want more
The deep regret
I feel inside
When my heart hits the floor
You’re a dirty, slinky thing
With a serpent’s kiss
Your fangs come out to bite
My pain is your delight
Naïve desire
Tempting of fate
As I long for you
The grand deception
The damage done
As I see the truth
You’re a dirty, slinky thing
With a serpent’s kiss
Your fangs come out to bite
My pain is your delight
I’ve been listening to your version of the truth
But now I see it means nothing to you
You got the best of me?
No, not this time
Why don’t you slither way?
Up your wicked vine
Sly and cunning
Evils what you are
Your venomous poison
Lures me in too far
With a serpent’s kiss
With a serpent's kiss
You’re a dirty, slinky thing
With a serpent’s kiss
Your fangs come out to bite
My pain is your delight
You're a dirty, slinky thing
With a serpent's kiss
Your Fangs come out to bite
My pain is your delight

Door to Nowhere

“DOOR TO NOWHERE”
Dark and cold
All foretold
On the way
Still today
We really try not to stumble
But in the end, can we see?
As we open the door to nowhere
To the dark mystery and despair
We can’t see what awaits us in there
There’s a feeling of pain in the air
In the air
Haunting sights
Lost in lights
Hard to say
Far away
We give our all to achieve it
But then we stand all alone
All alone at the door to nowhere
To the dark mystery and despair
We can’t see what awaits us in there
There’s a feeling of pain in the air
In the air
Hard to say
Far away
As we open the door to nowhere
To the dark mystery and despair
We can’t see what awaits in there
There’s a feeling of pain in the air
In the air
