21st Century Slavery
It’s creeping up slowly
Another false conviction
Tired of living so poorly
Tired of bleeding for the man
Chains and whips
No limits
Cruelty seems my fate
No way to live
No way to die
Time to plan my escape
(chorus)
It’s killing you slowly
Don’t let it bring you down
It’s killing you slowly
Just get out, just get out
Time will kill your sanity
Get away or go mad
Too long you’ve waited
Time for you escape plan
(chorus repeats)
Full Circle
You wanna play, dirty
You wanna take, take, take and never give
You live deceit
Selfishness exceeds
Fault never lies within your hands
(chorus)
You will pay someday
It’ll come back to you
Full Circle
In debt to, consequence
Don’t you feel shame, take a hint
Karma clings to those who wrong
It stings in ways with no alarm
(chorus)
You will pay someday
It’ll come back to you
You will pay someday
You’ll see it come to you
Full circle
(bridge)
Don’t cry to me, don’t run to them
It’s your own choice, it’s your own sin
You should know by now, what’s right, what’s wrong
You’ll face the music, before long
(chorus repeats)
3 Tides
It’s changing direction
No time for insurrection
Lady luck’s abandoned ship
The marching tide brings change and innovation
We chart the daily course
We find the closest company
A way of life
A way to turn a penny into gold
Despite everything that happens, we’ll always have each other
We ride the stormy seas together
The chances we take
May turn into mistakes
But I’m man enough to know
These gambles help us grow
The sails are unfurled
Mo matter what the weather
Nor stormy situation
We eat leagues with conviction
We leave drowning in our wake
Everything we want we take
Relentless pursuit of never ending visions
CHORUS
… Tie me up and take me away . . . (rep’t to end)
Broken Mirror
Seven years of loneliness I cried
No broken mirror, just a fact upon this life
Un-concentrated upon the unseen
It’s complicated to move on
Slight tug at the tighter strings of life
My grip not as strong as I thought it to be
Over react on the smaller things in life
Unconsciousness taking over me
(chorus)
Dark and cold, between the folds of life
Weak and alone nothing to hold in sight
Shadows wrap around me I’m losing light
No broken mirrors, but I’m shattered inside
Hiding in the shadows of my room
Don’t want the world to see my gloom
These thoughts I write are washed away by my own tears
They have me drowning, I fear.
(chorus)

Burden Of Truth
Sometimes the dig, is better than the find.
Sometimes the fade is better than the shine.
Sometimes the afters are better than before.
Sometimes it’s better to find what you’re not looking for.
Sometimes it's better in the dark than the light.
Sometimes it’s easier to run than to stay and fight
Sometimes it’s time to be cruel over kind
Sometimes you see more when you’re blind
It’s never easy to be grinning sad
To fall on your face and not feel bad
Pretend the better person is really you
Living a lie is the burden of truth
It’s the burden of truth
Always looking for what is over there
Always have enough but not enough to share
Always living with one foot in the past
Always wishing the tiny glimmers would last
It’s never easy to stay behind the mask
To obsess over a question, but never ask
Letting the days go by before you are through
Living a lie is the burden of truth
It’s the burden of truth
(break)
Truth is so easy to see, easy to have but not easy to be
One day no matter how much you hide, it’ll find you
One day no matter how much you’ve lied, will define you
O, it’s the burden of truth
Undone
Evil is all I see
Each time I look into you eyes
Memories can't deny it
Lost love I'll never find again
There's no way to save this
It can't be mended
Terrified of everything I knew
Nothing as it seemed to be
Would ever be again
The love I had for you was gone
Covered by the fear
It can't be mended
(chorus)
Do you know what you've done
This heart forever broken
Its never over, Its never over
This can't be undone
Remember when you were my world
Proud to say I was your girl
But, then my world was shattered
This can't be undone
(chorus)
Falling Under
The dreams
They take over me
The shadows
I hide in just to see
Illusions of you
Silent reverie
I pray this trance
Will never set me free
(chorus)
Falling under, falling under
I can’t keep myself from falling
Falling under, over you
Hallucinations
Wish of reality
Euphoria
Through imagining
A daze in the wonder
Obsessed by what may be
Illusion of you
Take over me
(chorus)
Falling under, falling under
I can’t keep myself from falling
Falling under, over you |
