Harder

One
Verse 1:
If you and I were one, if you and I were one
I would truly be, grateful for your love
If you and I were two, if you and I were two
I would spend my life, searching for you

Chorus:
If you and I were one, you know I’d love you baby
If you and I were two, you know it would drive me crazy

Verse 2:
If you and I were one, I would feel these scars
So heavy on my heart, slowly fade and go away
If you and I were two, I would feel these scars
So heavy on my heart, so heavy on my heart

Chorus

Verse 3:
If you and I were one, I would feel no pain
I’d dance with you at night until the sun comes up again
If you and I were two, I would watch the moon
And dream to dance with you, and dream to dance with you

Chorus

Bed Of Stone 
Verse 1 
I worked my hands down to the bone, callous, hard, and the skin is gone. 
Sun blisters on my back, scars like a roadmap 
 
Chorus 
But I’m free - Lord don’t you let me go. 
And I sleep - I’m sleeping on a bed of stone. 
 
Verse 2 
Seek and you’ll find in me, just dust and broken dreams 
I live like a vagabond, but I’ve made this earth my home. 
 
Chorus 
And I see - I see so clearly now. 
And I sleep - I’m sleeping on a bed of stone 
 
Verse 2 
The Earth gives me all I need, food, shelter, and the air I breathe. 
I broke away from the plastic cross, unshackled from society. 
 
Chorus 
Yes, I’m free - Lord don’t you let me go. 
And I sleep - I’m sleeping on a bed of stone. 

Verse 3 – Bass Only | Repeat Verse 1 
The lines carved out on my skin; my story is found in them. 
A history of broken man, who learned to live within 
I worked my hands down to the bone, callous, hard, and the skin is gone. 
Sun blisters on my back, scars like a roadmap 

Chorus 
But I see - I see so clearly now. 
And I sleep - I’m sleeping on a bed of stone. 
And I’m free - Lord you can let me go. 
And I’ll sleep – forever on a bed of stone.

Methane Bullet

Yeah we’re all going down
Did it to ourselves
Our greed is choking us out
And then we’re gone
Living a lie just to live in a dream
Until we can’t breathe anymore

You Had a crown on your head
A Crown on your head,
You ain’t wearing the crown anymore x2

Methane Bullet gonna rip you in two
Nothing you can do
We Gone the way of the dinosaurs 🦕 🦖

Our sentients gave us a fear of death, giving birth to an afterlife
All of the nature that we couldn’t explain helped the humans to spread their lies

He Had a crown on his head
A Crown on his head,
He ain’t wearing the crown anymore x2

Methane Bullet gonna rip you in you two
Nothing you can do
We Gone the way of the dinosaurs 🦕 🦖

Yeah, we’re digging our graves
This Earth is wasting away
We Got Plastic flowing through our veins
This human virus, our insatiable thirst, our arrogance is insane

We placed a crown on ours heads
A crown on our heads
We ain’t wearing the crown anymore x2

Methane Bullet gonna rip you in you two
Nothing you can do
We Gone the way of the dinosaurs 🦕 🦖

Bridge
Flat earth babies and republicans
Still screaming that the science is illusion
Climate change deniers and corporate greed
Praying on the middle class to feed their machine
Religious tell you there's a paradise
doubling down on delusional hypocrisies

Maybe once the oceans boil
Maybe with the rising tides
Maybe endless wild fires will help them realize
Maybe once the ice is gone
Maybe cancer in every breathe
Maybe what it takes to save this planet is to be nothing more than animal again

Methane Bullet gonna rip you in you two
Nothing you can do
We Gone the way of the dinosaurs 🦕 🦖

Methane Bullet

This is the first song I ever wrote that I remember..from back in 1994.

Water

Verse 1
Time passes by as slowly as winter today
Too much on my mind and I can’t seem to find my way

Pre-Chorus
It’s never any fun
When you’re the only one

Chorus
You’d kill me if you could but I’m too young to die
You see right through me so I can’t run and hide
Step on a crack and I’m fading away
Okay, ooh, water

Verse 2
Prismed eyes shatter and my nerves are paralyzed with fear
Deep inside my head something snaps and then nothing’s there

Pre-Chorus
I can’t escape this pain
It’s with me every day

Chorus
You’d kill me if you could but I’m too young to die
You see right through me so I can’t run and hide.
Step on a crack and I’m fading away
Okay, ooh, water

Bridge

Verse 3
Time passes by and I spread like ash in the wind
Still life simplified and I find a way to deal with it.

Pre-Chorus
I try to wash away the pain
I’ll never be the same

Chorus
You’d kill me if you could but I’m too young to die
You see right through me so I can’t run and hide
Step on a crack and I’m fading away
Okay, ooh, water

Storm Comin’

Verse 1
Under the night
Behind the calm
Whispers break the silence
To come undone
And the winds begin to swirl
The stars all disappear 
The air is thicker now with something 
A storm is coming

Verse 2
There go the lights
There goes the calm
Children in the corner 
All come undone
And the winds begin to howl
The walls begin to shake
The dreams so fragile shatter
A storm is coming

Chorus
And you are not alone my child 
I can hold you for a while 
We may never heal the damage is done 
Oh, despite the scars we build a life

Bridge/as Rap Section
Every relationship that I ever had 
Has always ended bad
And I wonder if it’s me
Literally sabotaging everything 
breathing in anxiety
Overcome with jealousy, 
it’s deep inside of me,  
the best of me. the best I had
I throw it all away, 
I run away, 
a human hand grenade
Will I ever be enough, what it did to me, losing everything 
Alone, the only way I know to be 
I pull the pin and wait in pain  
There’s no serenity 
surround myself with violence
All the yelling and the screaming 
Just a dreamer always dreaming 
it seems that everyone has their demons
Am I Selfish to the bone
Or just accustomed to the tone
Of all this ringing in my ears from when my broken home exploded
I was Misled and misused, I got used to the abuse 
But can I rise up from my station 
From the way that I was raised
This storm a beast, Can I face it
running away I can’t erase it 
Am I strong enough to change it

Verse 3
And when it’s passed
The trail it leaves
All this devastation 
All fallen trees
And the winds still bring a chill
The latchkey victims quake
The stars all burn out 
Nothing escapes
Something is coming 

Chorus
And you are not alone my child 
I can hold you for a while 
We may never heal the damage is done 
Oh, despite the scars we build a life

Crashing Sea

Lullabies at night
Mother shuts the light
Still afraid of the dark
In the violet glow of the machinery
Do you still dream in this sleep

All the things that you can’t see
Still terrifying me

We lean into illusion
But the fear grows anyway

It’s like a crashing sea
Waves coming down on me
I am crushed beneath the weight
Its like a crashing sea
And I can barely breathe
Beneath the surface, is there no escape

Mother cries at night
Stays by her side
All is lost to the dark
All these memories
All you’ll ever be
With us now that your gone

All the things you’ll never see
Your dreams written down for me

There’s songbird in the morning
As the darkness fades away

It’s like a crashing sea
Waves coming down on me
I am crushed beneath the weight
Its like a crashing sea
And I can barely breathe
Beneath the surface, is there no escape

And I’m hold out for love
And I’m hanging on for you
Is there nothing I can do

Crashing Sea (Renegade - Jeremy On Vocals)

Pushing Me


Verse 1:
Your words are like knives, I’m bleeding out
And you’re punishing me with no remorse
All these years on my back to tear me down
Self-righteous, narcissistic, insecure

Chorus:
Stop pushing Me
Pushing me
Why is everybody always pushing me

Verse 2:
And I don’t know what else to do
To clench my fist or put a hole in you
Should I rise above or take you down and put you six feet in the ground

Chorus:
Stop pushing Me
Pushing me
Why is everybody always pushing me

Bridge
You think you’re tough
I’ve had enough
You think you’re tough
I stand my ground
You think you’re tough
I’ll fuck you up
You think you’re tough
Who’s running now

Done running 
Start running
Keep running
Keep running

Pushing Me

This is a protest song.  In no way is this a manifesto, nor am I to be considered a threat to act with an measure of violence beyond or representative of the words in this song.  I am a peaceful person who vehemently detests Trump, his administration, and everything that he does.  I appreciate the people who support him, I just don't support what they believe, and wholeheartedly feel that this country is a far worse and more dangerous place with Trump as president.  He sows the seeds of fear, hate, and everything that this country has been trying to mature beyond.  Clearly, to him, "Make America Great Again" simply means to make it white and make it male!  F Trump and F anyone who supports his ignorant policies!  Again, not a threat, just a pissed off songwriter who needed to say something!

Intro Melody:  Bf > A > G > F > Af > G > F > Ef

Verse 1:
(Bf) These politicians are (B) driving the train
Straight off the cliff, they don’t hesitate
Gather us up and they place us in chains
Care more for their power, this narcissist’s power

(Bf) Will they never learn, (B) how can they not see
It’s never enough, justifying their greed
Both sides of their mouth, you can never believe
Don’t trust in these fools, beware of their sheep
 
Pre-Chorus:
(C#) We are, in our (D) darkest hour
(C#) Cry freedom, from the (D) bigots and fear

Chorus:
(E)	I might, try to (F) take back the power
(E) I might, raise my fist (F) in the air

Verse 2:
No strength found in numbers.  They’re pounding their chests
Roots take to the promise that the beast knows what’s best
Can you see what is coming, getting harder to breathe
45, 47, wears his hate on his sleeve

From up in his castle, the king on his throne
Protecting his fortune, picks his teeth with our bones
To our last breath, with it our democracy
Resisting the tyrant, we must resist his lunacy

Pre-Chorus:
(C#) We are, in our (D) darkest hour
(C#) Cry freedom, from the (D) bigots and fear

Chorus:
(E)	I might, try to (F) take back the power
(E) I might, raise my fist (F) in the air


Bridge Verse 1
(am) I’m just (EM) trying to live my (F) life (C) (em7b6)
(am) You’ll never control (EM) my mind
(F)	You’re just a puppet with the (CM) power (em7b6) to decide

Just another 3 inches to the right
A civil war to be xenophobe free
Not my president, don’t represent me

Bridge Chorus
(F)	You got an expiration (E) date
(F) I’m declaring Independence from (E) intolerance and hate
(F) No place for despotism in the (E) USA
(F) Your fascist agenda is an (E) ideocracy

Bridge Verse 2
I’m just trying to do things right
Deportations and tariffs are a ludicrous decree
Firing national security agents who refuse to bend the knee
The earth is just trying to survive
But you’re drill baby drill, want to gut protected lands
You’re gonna get us all killed, you’ve got our blood on your hands

Bridge Chorus
You got an expiration date
I’m declaring Independence from intolerance and hate
No place for despotism in the USA
Your fascist agenda is an ideocracy

Pre-Chorus:
(C#) We are, in our (D) darkest hour
(C#) Cry freedom, from the (D) bigots and fear

Chorus:
(E)	I might, try to (F) take back the power
(E) I might, raise my fist (F) in the air


From the Declaration of Independence

Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly, all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

One bruise on her cheek, some blood her dress, his body on the side of the road 

Yeah, he’s gone today, for good today, one bullet in the front of his skull 

 

Verse 4 

Still wakes screaming at night, feels his hand on her throat, he throws her against the wall 

He broke her heart, broke her bones, he never broke her will, bless her soul  

He can’t hurt me no more, she tells herself, not anymore  

 

 

 

Chorus:  

So sweet (used to be), So sweet, (used to be), So sweet (finally free)

(Em7♭6) Into the sunset she drives, time to get on with her life 

(Esus4) I just want to be me she says, just want to be free from the pain 

(Em7♭6) Okay is still so far away, one mile at a time, until that day. 

(Esus4) I just want to be me, just want to be free from the pain  

 Chorus - Outtro

Take Me

Verse 1:
Take me with you, I’ll leave it all behind
Disposable kingdom, I’ll burn it down tonight
There’s nothing left for me, here, without you in my life
Without, you are my life

Pre-Chorus:
Our souls, forever intertwined
You are the only thing that’s real

Chorus
I’m trapped inside my mind
Drowning in my lies, your shadow draws the line
I don’t have what it takes to say goodbye

Verse 2:
Take me with you, I’ll wait eternity
My paper heart, the holes you’ve ripped in me
I’m lost unto the wind
Forgiveness not forget
Do you ever think of me, am I alone in this illusion

Pre-Chorus
Our souls, continue to unwind
Were you, ever really mine

Chorus
I’m trapped inside my mind
Drowning in my lies, your shadow draws the line
I don’t have what it takes to say goodbye

Take Me
