Written/Arranged by Ben Mignogna.

"I can’t imagine I’ll ever meet the devil
But if I happen to,
I’ll be happy to
Ask him to pour you one too

I’d like to ask,
what made you bask
in the spiteful sunlight?
Malicious acts under moonlight?
Only to reawaken the war in your mind
& break-in the door
of kind humankind.

As rage befriends my veins
in response to rendezvous,
I cage making amends.
I expend my cigarettes.
There’s a lot to learn from you,
if only you learned too

Can you imagine? I really met the devil
Yes, I happened to
& he was happy to
pour you one too.
He poured you one too."

Caprice (Live at Neptune Studios)

"Claudia,
just the thought of ya,
puts a smile right on my face.
Claudia,
just the thought of ya,
inspire those who need the strength.

Your soul
Held close
Beautiful
Unlike most
Make a toast
To your life,
For your time
Gave us life.

Claudia,
just the thought of ya,
those eyes that seemed to gleam.
Claudia,
just the thought of ya,
makes every heart sing."

Claudia (Acoustic)

"Starshooter, aren’t you tired?
Been running such a long, long time
Dear brother, 
take a breather
before you run out of hill to climb."

Your shadow has grown
Flying so close 
to that unsympathetic sun.
Those eyes are showing signs
There’s red on the rise; 
glowing lines on the horizon.

Starshooter, can't you hear me?
I know how you be must feeling.
Startshooter, take it easy
You will be burning out, believe me.

Starshooter, take it easy.
Take it one measly step at a time.
Startshooter, what’s the hurry?
Who are you trying to please?
Can’t you see?
Who are you trying to please?
Can't you see?

Las Vegas man,
who always had a plan.
The world on his shoulders
and never grew older.
Young man,
Who are you running for?
What is the point in all of this?
I saw you on the western shore,
not sure.
I thought you were getting through it?
Not even you could get through to you,
not even you could get through to you.

Starshooter, can't you hear me?
I know how you be must feeling.
Startshooter, take it easy.
You will be burning out, believe me.
You will be burning out, please believe me."

Starshooter (Acoustic)

"Little did you know
how you gave me pain that day.
What else could I do,
but to ask you not to stay?
 
I’ve moved on without you, love
I’m better off this way.
In the dark I had become,
that much I can say.
 
Forgive and forget that’s what they claim,
I know now that is true.
I can’t stop trusting everyone,
just because of you.
 
Thank you then for teaching me
to just not give a damn,
but be in a better place
being who I am.

Being who I am,
being who I am,
just because of you."

Because of You (Acoustic)

"Nowhere to go but here
and I love it so.
Nowhere to go but there
and I know it’s so easy.
Cooped up with thoughts in my head
in our lovely home.
I guess I know more now than I thought I’d ever know.

But no, no, no,
I will not ever stop loving you
No, no, no, 
nothing will ever cause me to give up.
No, no, no,
I will not ever stop loving you.
My only hope
is nothing will ever cause you to give up.

Nowhere to go but here,
and I hate it so.
Nowhere to go but there,
and I know it’s so hard.
Cooped up with thoughts in my head
in our broken home.
I guess I know more now than I wish I ever knew.

But no, no, no, 
I will not ever stop loving me.
Is that so?
Nothing will ever cause you to give up?
No, no, no
I will not ever stop loving me.
My only hope,
is nothing will ever cause me to give up.

No, no, no
I will not ever stop loving me.
No, no, no
Nothing will ever cause me to give up.
No, no, no
I will not ever stop loving me.
No, no, no
Nothing will ever cause me to give up."

Nowhere to Go (Acoustic)

"Hiking through marvelous mountains of love,
Oh, how I marvel at the view over my shoulder.
Emerald water,
silences the soul that seems to be getting colder,
while growing older.

For this climb is sublime
with a rapport to support
the demands along the way.
Our hearts contort
in ways unforeseen.
Unseen by most among us,
Seen and reshaped,
by those who love us.

Oh, how I marvel at the view over my shoulder.
A vast body of emerald water,
embodies the peaceful essence of life’s potential."

Emerald (Acoustic)

"I refuse
to have any fear.
Dusting off my wings,
contemplating all things,
please come near.

I've been a guest in your heart,
I never would have guessed this part.
Use my mind as a stepping stone,
I don't mind, I do condone.

As I digest your heart's key,
you look at me and confess your heartbeat.
As you address my imperfections,
I express my pure intentions.

Because I refuse,
to have any fear.
Dusting off my wings,
contemplating all things,
please come near."

I Refuse (Acoustic)

"You'll find me,
you'll find me back at home.
Transient,
I consider a lot of places home.
But you'll find me,
you'll find me there are all alone.
I don't mind,
I've got some lovely people by my side.
But remind me,
Please remind me how two hearts collide.

In the past,
about this I've been wrong.
What a beautiful distraction.
You're my heartbeat's muse,
it sings a song.
What a wonderful reaction.
This has never happened before
and I've been too shy to explore,
but I can promise one thing is for sure:
My heart's been out of tune for awhile now,
and you are my tuner.

You'll find me,
you'll find me back at home.
Transient,
I consider a lot of places home.
But you'll find me,
you'll find me with my heart grown.
You've reminded me what it's like
to no longer be alone."

"I can’t imagine I’ll ever meet the devil
But if I happen to,

Ask him to pour you one too.

Malicious acts under moonlight?
Only to reawaken the war in your mind
& break-in the door

"Pain follows the shadows as you stroll
Strain on the souls you seem to control
The goal to climb life’s rolling knolls
& jab your past back its last laugh"
