LYRICS by Kris Angelis

I said some things that I didn’t mean
Scratch that, I meant them but there’s more in between 

I’m Sorry that I wasn’t graceful 
There’s broken glass in my shoes
I’m trying to dance without knowing
The steps or the notes or the cues

I’d rather jump in and clean up the mess 
than win the game of who cares less
I’d rather try, and lose the fight than 
Win the game of who has more pride 

I said some things that I didn’t mean
Scratch that, I meant them but there’s more in between 

I’m far from perfect, but honest
I often choose fight over flight
The one time I flew left me broken 
And I wish that part would just die

I’d rather jump in and clean up the mess 
than win the game of who cares less
I’d rather try, and and lose the fight than 
Win the game of who has more pride 

I can’t believe I said that 
I was trying to cross the divide
The ships that I've  sent out have all come back wrecks
But the refuge was always inside 

I’d rather jump in and clean up the mess 
than win the game of who cares less
I’d rather try, and and lose the fight than 
Win the game 
I’d rather jump in and clean up the mess 
than win the game of who cares less
I’d rather try, and and lose the fight than 
Win the game of who has more pride

Win The Game

VERSE 1:
5 past midnight when you come home
One look and I know that you weren’t alone
Honestly, you swear to me that I must be wrong
‘Cause if I don’t believe you, you say, “May lightning strike you down.”
 
CHORUS:
And, I hear the thunder rollin’
It’s lighting up the sky
I maybe should start running
I don’t wanna be close by
 
VERSE 2:
Long I have doubted and long I have cried
I’ve tried to understand and make things right
And I believe I might see the truth yet tonight
‘Cause if I don’t believe you, you say, “May lightning strike you down.”
 
CHORUS:
And, I hear the thunder rollin’
It’s lighting up the sky
I maybe should start running
I don’t wanna be close by
 
BRIDGE:
And the wind is getting higher
I feel the chill down to my bones
I don’t wanna stand beside you
It’s not safe to be so close
 
CHORUS:
And, I hear the thunder rollin’
It’s lighting up the sky
I maybe should start running
I don’t wanna be close by
When the thunder’s rollin’
It’s lighting up the sky
I maybe should start running
I don’t wanna be close by
I hear the thunder rolling
It’s lighting up the sky
I maybe should start running
I don’t wanna be close by

ASHES
Lyrics: Debra Lyn / Music: Jeff Silverman

© 2023
 
You lift me up – just to push me down
Oh, I can’t believe I used to worship your ground
You tell me lies just to watch me cry
And like a fool all I wonder is why
I don’t understand why you do me this way
Why I don’t leave or the reason I stay
 
CHORUS:
Ashes, ashes, burn this down
Ashes, ashes, no one will hear a sound
Ashes, ashes, you never will be found (Down, Down, Down, He’s Goin’, Down, Down, Down, He’s Goin’)
Who’s sorry now (Goin’ Down)
 
VERSE 2:
I was a fool – oh from the start
I believed you when you said we’d never part
You were a dream come true even my friends agreed
I said I do; you put the chains on me
I lost my way, my friends, my family
You can’t see what I don’t want you to see
 
CHORUS:
Ashes, ashes, burn this down
Ashes, ashes, no one will hear a sound
Ashes, ashes, you never will be found (Down, Down, Down, He’s Goin’, Down, He’s Goin’)
Who’s sorry now (Goin’ Down)
 
LEAD:
 
VERSE 3:
I’m gaining strength (I gain my strength) – oh every day (every day)
And sooner or later (sooner or later) you won’t stand in my way (you’re not in my way)
I’ll bide my time till you’re not lookin’ behind
I see the light and freedom is mine
I ain’t got much, but I still got my pride
No way to live barely stayin’ alive.
 
CHORUS:
Ashes, ashes, burn this down
Ashes, ashes, no one will hear a sound
Ashes, ashes, you never will be found (Down, Down, Down)
Who’s sorry now (Down, Down, Down, He’s Goin’)
He’s Goin’ Down (Down, Down, Down, He’s Goin’)
In the ashes (Down, Down, Down, He’s Goin’, Ashes)
You Won’t Be Found (Down, Down, Down, Down, Down, Down, Down)
Ashes, Ashes, (hes’ goin’ down)
Ashes Ashes
Ashes, Ashes
Ashes, Ashes
