The Grave
(Jimena Arroyo & CJ Teffner @cjteffner)
Drums by @deaneogdenmusic

As I walk through the gates
Of this graveyard of dreams
With my heart in a crate
Still pounding, it seems
I just curse this cruel fate
Cause it’s just too much to feel

I’m more dead than alive
I doubt I’ll survive
So before it’s too late

Now I’m digging the grave
For this love I just couldn’t save
For the kisses I never gave
And the moments we won’t spend together
With this murder I’ll get away

I make a hole with my bare hands
And my cracked fingernails
Stain the ground with blood and sweat
And to think I was frail!
I wipe my tears and throw more dirt
There is no time to waste

I am burying a love still alive

Now I’m digging the grave
For this love I just couldn’t save
For the kisses I never gave
And the moments we won’t spend together
With this murder I’ll get away

Will life go back to normal
To the day before we met?
Will this mask hide all my mourning?
Will the grief just go away?
Will they find me guilty of cowardice? 
Or was that the greatest act of bravery?

Like a ghost from the past
It all haunts me at night
I’ll be dragging this dead weight 
Until the end of my days

Now I’m digging the grave, no no
For this love we just couldn’t save
Now I dig my own grave
Bury feelings I couldn’t face
All the kisses we never gave
And the nights we could’ve spent together
With this murder we’ll get away

Bye bye farewell
Bye bye farewell
To the love I once felt

TALK TO JESUS
music and lyrics by Mike Krath

I need someone to talk to,
Someone who hears what I say
Someone who listens when I speak
But who, who?


Not my mother,
She’s too busy,
Not my friends,
Only think of themselves
Not my cat,
She’s too lazy,
Not my father,
He is never around. 

Who, who do I go to?
Who, who do I go to?
Who, who do I go to?


Not my priest
He’s not a believer,
Not my brother,
He’s not always there,
Not my dog,
He doesn’t come when I call him,
Not my stylist,
He doesn’t know how to cut hair


Need to lay down
Need to lay down
Need to lay down
Need to lay down
Need to lay down
Need to lay down,
My soul. 

Lay it all down
Lay my soul down. 
Need to lay it all down
But who?
Who do I talk to?
8 billion people in this world
No one to talk to?
No one?
But…


Not my teacher,
He’s too academic
Not my sister,
She’s never off her phone,
Not my counselor 
He doesn’t know my name,
Not my coach
He never lets me play


Oh God,
Who do I call?
Who do I call
When no one listens?

I don’t want my life
To be a high school improv
A high school improv that 
Ends in (sound of gunfire)

Listen
Listen when I call
Who started this mess?
I didn’t ask to be here
I didn’t ask to be born

Give me someone to listen
Give me someone who understands me. 

Lay it down
Lay it down
Lay my soul down. 
Lay it…

Talk To Jesus

At Sixes And Sevens had several revisions. Originally, the opening of the piece was in 6/4 and the remainder of the song was in 7/4 (thus the title) but i didn't like the 6/4 feel. I decided to stay in 7/4 for the entire song (pretty much).
