"You don't get to know me, and you never did"
That was her last line of defense
I barely heard the sound
Felt a sting, hit the ground
Laid out in my state of penitence

"You don't get to have me," like she needed to say
But she wanted me to stay down this time
She stood over the kill
Just to show me her will
Then she fled from the scene of the crime

Well I didn't know a thing of her fragility
And I don't know how I fell into this trap
Should a lover or a friend
Meet this kind of end?
Cornered, she turned and attacked

She used her hurt and loneliness like currency
Minted in some dark place in her mind
Maybe only I could see
But it was counterfeit to me
Taken as payment in kind

Melody

You say how its going?  I say I'm with you.

Chorus:
Melody is danger, Melody is dangerous.

My brother went to war, never came back what a poor soul, let's come together and find a truth

Chorus:
Melody is danger, Melody is dangerous.

I want to thank you for being my neighbor
I want to thank you for being my best friend
I want to thank you for being there for me cause you know...

Chorus:
Melody is danger, Melody is danger, Melody danger dangerous. Yeah dangerous 
Melody is danger  ........... dangerous

You Know Yourself

This Sphere (This Fear)

One Man will try to, lead us on.
Truth is his innocent lies
Beyond Spoken Words 
That no one wants to bare…  
Chorus:  This Sphere, This Fear. 
One man will pass judgment, upon us all
Those who believe will follow like sheep in a flock
This darkness will prevail
Will we all contain … 

Chorus: This Sphere, This Fear

One Man will die today
Whether or not we want him to,
We will want justice and peace for all of you
Does it matter whose blood shed is on our wall … for fear.
Chorus:  This Sphere, This Fear.. 
One man will cry for freedom, 
As another will cry in pain
Are they both trapped in…
Prison where no walls will contain?
The power of my words
Against the power of one mans’ Fear.
 Chorus:  This Sphere, This Fear.
