Hold The Beat
03:46

Holding steady laying low
It is a wonder to behold
My mind is ready to explode
My heart is heavy but still holds a beat
I am ready to implode
There’s no escape from what I’m told
I’m not afraid of getting old
I am afraid of being obsolete
But don’t give up
No don’t give up on me
I’m already letting go
and I’m forgetting what I know
Well I can live without my soul
but I will die without some room to breathe
I dream of light in black and white
It’s in my sight but it is out of reach
I dream of sound It’s all around
It can’t be found but it still holds a beat

The World
03:43

I feel the weight of the world caving in
The crashing and crushing of my soul
I look around and there’s no saving it
It’s simply out of my control
I like to think that I’m the kind of girl
who could stay strong through anything
but I’m finding out that it’s a cold dark world
and I’m not exactly who I think
I see the night fall and the pain sets in
and it’s just as dark as it is cold
I can’t bear this load now in the shape I’m in
I’m carrying more than I can hold
I like to think that I’m the kind of girl
who’s tough enough to take some heat
but I’m finding out that as this world will turn
sometimes this world will turn on me
Oh when your heart is breaking up
your head may not keep holding up
You’ll try to fight it oh but your tears will win
You’ll think that you’re not strong enough
You’ve tried so hard but it’s not enough
Well it’s ok there’s a way when the will sets in
The world is weighing down on my shoulders
I can’t seem to stop it from spinning around
and I can’t control it
I like to think that I’m the kind of girl
who could live through ‘bout anything
but I’m finding out that as my life unfurls
I’m only as strong as one can be

Move Slowly
03:25

Oh where’d it go
I don’t even know
One day I woke up and the time passed
And oh well I’m not sure
if I’ll ever know
cause I’ll never get that time back
And I’d never want to rewind
but I’m willing to set my mind back
to times when it was do or die
I remember the way that it used to be
Starting out I knew what I wanted
As time went by I think I forgot it
Well not too long ago I had nothing to lose
Nowadays I think a bit longer
And in some ways I think I am stronger
I’m still the same but now I’ve got nothing to prove
Ooh if only time
moved more slowly just
think how slowly we could move

It really shows it’s so overt
You ought to know for what it’s worth
It’s like a tumor like a cyst
You’re too removed to remove it
This is your chance to break it
This cycle you’ve created
This is your time to face it
You’re close enough to taste it
It’s like a growth it’s got a spurt
You’re not the only one it hurts
Say you’re alright you think you’ll live
but living isn’t what this is
This is your chance to make it
Don’t give it up just take it
Think of the time you’ve wasted
No need for hesitation
This is your time to face it
You’re close enough to taste it
And so it goes as I observe
Say you’re alone I don’t concur
This is your chance to break it
This cycle you’ve created
Must find a cure an antidote
to fix this lump that’s in my throat

Hey Wow
03:50

How’d I avoid this storm
Why am I safe and warm
As the lightning strikes around me
there’s something that’s ungrounding me
How’d I escape this fire
Got away while the entire
world’s burning down in front of me
and I don’t even feel the heat
Hey wow how did I get it all
when all the world’s falling down around me
Hey wow how did I get the sun
when all the rain’s pouring down beside me
Eye of the hurricane
I’m still remaining sane
As the cyclone spins around me
it seems the calm has found me
I cannot feel it shake
well sometimes the earth will quake
As the world crumbles around me
the ground is steady under me

Be The Fire

Wake it up shake it up
You know what you want
Let it out get it out
Can’t keep it inside no more
Live it out live it up or give it up
Well the choice is yours
The fire is out but there’s still a spark here
We’ll fan the flame and make a blaze appear
Like embers glow we’ll float to the top here
Out of the smoke we’ll light the atmosphere
Lookin’ up lookin’ out
got you where you are
Brushed it off shook it out
And just look how you’ve come so far
Keep it up turn it out no burnin’ out
and you’ll get what’s yours
The fire grows the fire knows
It’s a force that can’t be stopped
The inferno out of control
Deep inside is burnin’ hot
Out of the smoke like embers glow
We’ll float up to the top
We can be the fire

Bridges

A penny for your thoughts
A bigger fish to fry
Raining on your parade
while you’re hung out to dry
A hit below the belt
Well you’re on some thin ice
Let the cat out the bag
You’re all bark and no bite
Knuckle down go for broke
Take the bull by both it’s horns
And kill two birds with one stone
And never cry over spilled milk
Stop burning bridges break the mold
Bite the bullet or miss the boat
Roll with the punches roll the bones
There’s a method to your madness
Down and out the perfect storm
But lightening never strikes the same place twice
Even a broke clock
is right twice everyday
Beating a dead horse
costs an arm and a leg
Elephant in the room
but you’ve cut to the chase
Opened a can of worms
It’s a slap in the face
You can’t wrap your head around it
Cross that bridge when you get to it

Now I'm Gone
02:40
|

|
All along I’ve felt the same
but all around me I can see the change
My reflection’s not my face
and my projections cannot be escaped
Cause it is time it is space
Every chance it gets it takes
a little more a little piece of me
No more to say
My voice is hollow and concave
Nothing to prove
It’s just relativity of truth
No more to say
I’m just gonna look the other way
And now I’m gone
I’ve blown away
I have dissolved
Evaporated
And now I’m gone
I have decayed
Disappeared
Degenerated
And now I’m gone
I’ve blown away
