Naked

I lie here in quiet conversation with myself
Talking to the pillow
Where once you asked for help
I try to see right through you
But you are fast asleep
You wake to hear me crying
Have I gone too deep
CHORUS
I am naked
Right before your very eyes
I am naked
Can you sympathize
I am naked
I trust in only you
Will you stand with me …… naked
BRIDGE:
Friends pass like thieves
And the seasons pass like the waves
Men pass through your door
Like they love you
But why can’t you see
I’ll lose a piece of me
If you don’t stand with me
Naked………
CHORUS
I am naked
Right before your very eyes
I am naked
Can you sympathize
I am naked
I trust in only you
Will you stand with me
Will you stand before me
Will you stand beside me……..Naked

Soul Salvation

When I first met you
You looked at me and said
I’ll help you, and I can carry that
When I first met you
All my dreams rang true
And you asked me for a ride
Now everything that’s old is new
CHORUS
It’s the way you look at me
It’s the way you set me free
In one blink of an eye
Like a lonely soldiers cry
I walked naked through the rain
To wash away my pain
To get over what I ‘d done
You’re my soul……soul salvation
Break
We were meant to be
Forever you and me
I’ll carry you, over my head
We have ups and downs
You spin me right around (right round, baby right round like a record baby..)
Like a kid I’m young again
I want to take your hand
It’s the way you look at me
It’s the way you set me free
In one blink of an eye
Like a lonely soldiers cry
I walk naked through the rain
To wash away my pain
To get over what was done
You’re my soul……………….Soul Salvation

Oragami heart strings
Instagram memories
Make up this world for you and me
Overboard I am thrown
into a sea of lonely
I see through rose colored glass
Daffodils and your paper heart
You're tearing me apart
Stacks of Hershey kisses
And I am not your misses
Clipping your tiny lucid wings
Daffodils and your paper heart
You're tearing me apart
Texting and sexting
IM and overwriting
Upload and inter-city woes
Do we ever grow
Where do we ever go
Underground and underqualified
Over love
Daffodils and your paper heart
Tearing me apart
Tearing me apart
With your purple heart

Man On A Mission
02:51

|
People tell me I’m wrong
People tell me I’m strange
People tell me to alter the way I am
They don’t know my path
That I’m under the gun
I’m a man on a mission
I have all the goods
It’s under the hood
And I have known it for years & years
I just couldn’t fly
But I have to try
I’m a man on a mission
CHORUS
Cuz I’m a man
I’m a man
I’m a man, with a solid plan (really good plan/simple plan)
A man on a mission
BRIDGE:
I’m that final poker game
I’m crazy like the king
I’m in that life boat
But I’m not gonna fall
Off my little throne
I won’t at all
CHORUS REPEAT
So onward I go
Onward to the sky
Nobody can hold my reins
Don’t spit in my eye
Don’t stand on my foot
Get the hell outta my way!
CHORUS REPEAT
Cuz I’m a man……

This Man Is An Island
02:53
|

|
Why can't I just accept that this is the way its gonna be
He's never gonna change
No matter how hard I push
No matter where I look
This man is an island
Why can't I just accept that this storm isn't over
That he won't subside
For loss of my pride
Or loss of his love
This man is an island
He won't look back
He won't look ahead
He won't look inside
The mess in his head
He's an asylum
I loved him then
I loved him now
But this man is an island
Solo/Break

When I Was Young
03:17

When I was young
I floated on by
And pushed aside the clouds
That cried and cried and cried
When I was young
I had it all
My Pa was fair and just
And my Ma wore clothes of gold
When I was young
I skated on by
And learned to try most anything
In the blink of an eye
CHORUS:
Ay……
Ay…….
When I was young
I had T Bone Steak
The fields were golden
And my bones n’re ached
Now I am old –er
And like my great gran said
If you don’t have a crown on you
Then where is your head
CHORUS repeat
So I walk among
Those that lived before
Those that are leaving
Will meet at the same door
CHORUS repeat
LAST LINE:
When I was young……

Into Your Love
04:38
|
|||
|
In your reflection
I see all of you
In my mind's eye
I knew you too
That dream of a black bird on a wire
Haunts me still
Frustrated I moved on
Suspicion made the kill
I asked for a new plan
Where darkness was light
Where trees weren't withered
And the birds laughed in flight
I sun always smiled bright
And the rain's a good wine
Rejected I faced you
And stepped over the line
Into your arms
Into your heart
Into a love
A love, whoa a love
I have decided
After all these years
That what I had asked for
Fit like kid glove
Weathered the winter
And walked over the coals
Swam through the rapids
But there's one thing I know
The moon can stop winking
Mother earth she'll dry up
Her eyes can stop crying
And her heart cease to pump
The stars can stop shining
But we may not see
It's a million light years
Not for you or for me.
Chorus
