Reborn


(Megrue, Sponsler)


Shred my skin, do it again, I fall
Don't you know, it's what you never showed, that mattered,
Grate my eyes, with your lies, show me,
What you, came here to do, I rise....I rise

     I am what you can't understand
     Sing it to me
     I am a child of this land
     Drown in my sea

Play your game, of guilt and blame, I run
You cry, on your alibi, I stand
See where, I don't even care, don't speak
Run in, your pain and sin, you scream....you scream

     I am what you can't understand
     Sing it to me
     I am a child of this land
     Drown in my sea



Hell On Earth


(Megrue)


I stand before you, not knowing what I wanna do
You stand beside me, but I fall at your feet
This journey alone, not knowing where to call home
No light on my face, no warmth of a kind embrace

   And what I see, is not meant for me
   What you wanna do, is to put me through another

     Night of hell on earth, but you won't break me down
     This my only birth, life before means nothing now
     Night of hell on earth, you won't do this to me now

My right before wrong, you hear that same old song
I try to stay true, I am one of the only few
Who believes in this land, I'm guided by a hand
Set down on my back, this whole world's under attack 

   And what we see, is it what is to be
   Let's change this time, a revolution's on my mind

     Night of hell on earth, but it won't break me down
     This my only birth, life before is nothing now
     Night of hell on earth, you can't do this to me now

   And what we see, it's not going to be
   Cuz we will change every heart across this 
   nation

     Night of hell on earth, but it won't break me down
     This my only birth, life before is nothing now
     Night of hell on earth, you can't do this to me now



French Nickel


(Megrue, Sponsler)


Listen to the rain, steady fall
Open up the door and look in the hall
Streetlight lit up, the dark that day
Street heat warm up then swallows its prey
March time always, shuffles its feet
The freaks come out for a lonely retreat
Bayou boys for the hippie girls
One last call for the sane of the world
One two three just listen to me
Four five six and you're thrown in the mix
One step out into the night of black
Once you get hooked you can never go back

     You've hooked me in again (*&^%$#@!@#$%^&*)
     You've hooked me in again (*&^%$#@!@#$%^&*)
     You've hooked me in again (*&^%$#@!@#$%^&*)
     You've hooked me innocent

Listen to my heart, steady pounds
Slip up once and get thrown to the ground
Empty shot glass and a stack of cash
The perfect sustenance for a destined crash
Subway steam produce ghosts in my head
Only seventeen and you wish you were dead
So sad are the facts just live by the way
Never look back or it's taken away
Falter on the rocks, trip and fall
Open up your ears and hear His call
Bring you back, feet on the ground
Gotta hold out for one more sound
Check your head then check my heart
It's there you'll see it's been torn apart
One two three set your soul free
Four five six this clock always ticks

     You've hooked me in again (*&^%$#@!@#$%^&*)
     You've hooked me in again (*&^%$#@!@#$%^&*)
     You've hooked me in again (*&^%$#@!@#$%^&*)
     You've hooked me innocent



Carry Me Home


(Megrue)


I don't even understand why I even think I can 
Get out of bed today
When everything seems to go wrong I try to fight my heart out
And stay
And I don't know what got to you but I know that it 
Gets me too
For every day I pick apart the loneliness sunk
In my heart...in my heart

     I don't know what we're fighting for
     I can't see what's right anymore
     I've lost my path unknown
     I just need you to carry me home

Maybe all the tears I cried can fall onto 
The ocean side
And let the water heal my soul and run into this
Empty hole
And all across the continents I always try to 
Make some sense
And maybe somewhere on the earth I'll find one thing
That is worth...living for...living for

     I don't know what we're fighting for
     I can't see what's right anymore
     I've lost my path unknown
     I just need you to carry me home

I don't even understand why I even think I can 
Get out of bed today
I don't even understand why I even think I can 
Get out of bed today
I don't even understand why I even think I can 
Get out of bed today
And maybe somewhere on the earth I'll find one thing
That is worth...living for

     I don't know what we're fighting for
     I can't see what's right anymore
     I've lost my path unknown
     I just need you to carry me home



Song #214


(Megrue)


Lost in your eyes, mirrors to your soul
Reflecting back at me, you're where I want to be
Angels sing your song, and you are mine
Maybe time stands still, or maybe I just feel
All the love and warmth, you send my way
You're what makes me live another day

     And you know, our souls walk hand in hand
     And I see, how we'll be, because I've put, all my love in you

So close your eyes, and worry no more
Light up my sky, the stars fall in peace
And crash at your feet, my pain is released
You took my hurt, you took my doubt
You cast it out, and then calmed my soul
You finally made me whole

     And you know, our souls walk hand in hand
     And I see, how we'll be, because I've put, all my love in you
     And you know, our souls walk hand in hand
     And I see, how we'll be, because I've put, all my love in you



Without You


(Megrue)


I thought that maybe we could get away 
but time between us seems to go away, away
And I'm living without you
I tried so hard to rise above
But you couldn't see the stars above, and below
I'm living without you
I thought that maybe I would fly
But all I could do was get high, come down
I'm drowning without you
I tried so hard to make some sense 
But it was all just innocence, lost
I'm lost without you
I tried so hard to compromise
And now I see all your lies, goodbyes
I'm walking without you

     And in a day my world came crashing down
     And it's getting harder by the day
     To keep my soul on the ground

I thought that maybe you would be my wife,
But I'll swallow some pills and call it a life, this life
I'm dying without you
I just can't see how I was wrong,
Now I'm writing it out in this damn song, so long
I can't live without you
You tried so hard to make me your child,
But my heart was burning raging wild, wild
I'm burning for you
Maybe everything goes wrong 
And I've waited on you for too long, not wrong,
I'm longing for you
I tried so hard to escape the pain,
But every corner it's still the same, sweet pain,
What I could do without you

     And in an instant my heart shattered on the floor
     And I can't see why I keep coming back for more

I tried so hard to forget your face,
But all I could do was pick up the pace, no taste,
I will never forget you
I don't know just what else to say,
I guess that I will end today, but tonight,
...I can't be without you



A Finished Thought


(Guenther, Wood)


Moving on
you awakened my heart and
opened my eyes
no more questions...no surprise

Could it be I'm crazy
could it be I'm just in love
here we are now
never new things would
end up like this
and be the second chance
at happiness

You're the part of me that
I've always held back
but now I just want to
be with you

I've had my thoughts on love
They were too incomplete to be real
But when I look at you.
You are my finished thought
I have my finished thought



Soulsearching


(Megrue)


Woke up today, nothing's changed, but you know I'm still hoping
I'll be with you, before too long, I'm on my knees praying
Stone dissolves all these, tears I cry, but they keep falling
Examining my conscience, you know I'm soul searching

   You know why I called you down
   To smash your face into the ground
   And you know why I let you go
   Because you could not let me know
  
     Hey tonight, hey that's right
     When can we be together 
     Hey not right, hey no light
     You left me soul searching

     Hey tonight, hey that's right
     When can we be together 
     Hey not right, hey no light
     I did it all out of love

   You know why I called you down
   To smash your face into the ground
   And you know why I let you go
   Because you could not let me know
  
     Hey tonight, hey that's right
     When can we be together 
     Hey not right, hey no light
     You left me soul searching



Conform


(Megrue)


This broken man cannot wash his hands
Of his guilt and lust and your broken trust
You try to look back but it fades to black
And my love for you is what put me through
To end me, once again I won't let you win

     Break my heart and sigh, I don't even cry
     You put your face into my life and I
     I can't even lie, you run me over, do me over
     Some things never change

And you look at me I wait patiently
On your loving smile turned into revile
Can you, kill me now I just can't see how
You put in the knife and then take my life
And I close my eyes no time for goodbyes

     Break my heart and cry, I'm the one who dies
     You take my spirit take my soul and I
     I can't even cry, my life is over, done and over
     Some things have to change

       We wear the mask that grins and lies
       It hides our cheeks and shades our eyes
       This debt we pay to human guile
       With torn and bleeding hearts we smile
       We smile, but, O great Christ, our cries
       To thee from tortured souls arise.



Soulharvest


(Megrue)


So you think this city's your salvation
So you think the stars will take you away
Just another lost soul and constellation
Bid yourself farewell for this day

     He would turn and leave this place
     But he can't break from its chains
     Another candle put out tonight
     Covered in the freezing rain

So you think this water makes you whole
And maybe restore your innocence
But the scent of death can take its toll
Lock you up and make you tense

     He would turn and leave this place
     But he can't break from its chains
     Another candle put out tonight
     Covered in the freezing rain



Free


(Guenther)


There is something wrong today
The sky turns darker each minute that passes
I look to the sky not a friendly light in sight
A chill runs down my spine
Cause I know what I have to do needs to be done
Sometimes in life people change
I am changing
So I need to let you go
I need this
I need you to understand
I need you to see

     I need to be free
     I wanna fly up high in the clouds
     I need to find real happiness
     And not just something to fill this void

I used to think you made me happy
I use to think you were the one
Then I realized I needed so much more
I needed a friend and not just a lover
And you couldn't be both

     I need to be free
     I wanna fly up high in the clouds
     I need to find real happiness
     And not just something to fill this void

Carolina's Galaxy


(Megrue)


She smiles at me when I'm sad
She rests my head and my bones
It's so unfamiliar to be so alone
But it's such a comfort to shut my eyes

She's so far away from anywhere
But in a few more nights I'll be there
In her arms, in her hands
God just please let me be...

     In Carolina's Galaxy

Taste the water from her spring
Her face is what I am picturing
There's a chill that runs in the air
Look around and beauty's all I see...

     In Carolina's Galaxy

   There's no doubt in my mind
   Exactly what I will find
   When I take a walk across the land
   All the way hand in hand

Close my eyes under the stars
It feels so good to be free...

     In Carolina's Galaxy



The Fighting Song


(Broder,M.Megrue,Sponsler,J.Megrue)


Blood pumps now, there's no way out
I'm what your nightmares are about
You see me, I see you
You know what I'm gonna do
Worlds collide let my fists reign
How sweet it is to inflict pain

     To fight, it's time for me to end your night you know
     Too late, my whole world is what you hate so leave
     off, I'll take you out at any cost tonight, tonight

It's so easy to kick you when you're down
I don't care about being found
You see me, I see free
Freedom's such an irony
Look at the street step off that ledge
Because you're about to drive me over the edge

     To fight, it's time for me to end your night you know
     Too late, my whole world is what you hate so leave
     off, I'll take you out at any cost tonight, tonight



Untitled


(M.Megrue,Broder,Guenther,Sponsler,J.Megrue)


Oh boy you know, it's decision time
Do you stay or time to go, you know how it's gonna go
You never planned it to be this way, you know what you have gotta say

   My plans well they don't include you
   All this pain you've put me through
   Turn away's what you've got to do
   Walk away from the pain
   Just follow that train...right on outta town...right on outta town

     I wonder, what it's gonna take
     To push you, beyond the wake

Oh boy you see, it's confession time
Tell me your thoughts conceived, oh it's never gonna be
Can't be like before, once you step through that door

   My face has been battered and bruised
   And my life does not include you
   So give it up cuz I'm already gone
   Blowing away with the wind
   Just followed that train...right on outta your life...right on 
   outta your life 


Four Seasons Later


(M.Megrue)


All of my past regrets, are packed into a snowball
All of my dreams and fears, set out at sea
It is going to be different this year, it's time to change

     If I could tell you one thing
     It'd be I'm sorry I let you down
     Life's not all it's cracked up to be...
     and neither am I

I break and crumble like a leaf in the autumn wind
I can remember when my eyes used to sparkle
But now they seem to fade, and burn out

     If I could tell you one thing
     It'd be that I'm on my last leg
     This isn't what they said it would be...
     and neither am I

Snow will melt and ships are bound to sink
Leaves will fall and eyes will only get dimmer
Four seasons later will still be the same as today

     If I could tell the world one thing
     It'd be that we're in this together
     Life's not all it's cracked up to be...
     and neither am I

Good Morning


(M.Megrue)


So Adam I've got my guitar
I've learned to play
But I've got this funny feeling
I won't make it this way
I can't help but think
I could be such a big star
If I could just get to LA
So I stretch my arms so far
Beyond the Milky Way
and to this town I say...good morning


Good Nite


(M.Megrue)



Another day goes by
And I can't help but cry
I'm gonna prove this to myself
Or else I'm just gonna die
So I pack up all my clothes
With my guitar in hand
I'm going to the coast
Gonna get myself a band
And to this town I say...good nite
