hold your breath 
as you close in on death
are you closer to death than you know
tired of fighting
you'll fight and die for your
fight and die for your love
hold your breath 
as you close in on death
are you closer to death than you know
but don't don't own don't no
it's all unknown
and don't believe just to soften the blow
you're held in high esteem
your love will always grow

You've Got Your (Twisted) Reasons

caught up in all the excitement
in finding love so exciting
kept the notes that he wrote to you
still hung up on the first time he spoke to you
which then led you to believe
in something seeming so unreal
you got to thinking it was just a dream
a childlike, fairytale thing
but how can something be so good
hurt so bad
and who'd thought love could be this way
fiery blood coursin' through your veins
drop a coin into a wishing well
who'd steal your secret for a story to tell
how can something be so good
hurt so bad
something so happy
so sad...
close your eyes to see
it feels like love to me
close your eyes to see
it feels like love to me
my sweet

My Sweet, Hillary

should be doing something else
gotta find that something else
should've realized 
i'm tired of wasting time
i'm tired of letting myself down
thanks for what you got to say
but i think i'd rather run away, ok?
gotta find myself
no, i don't need any help
if i should find myself
then it'll be all by myself
and not because of someone else
you say that's all right
cuz i don't have the strength left to fight
this is not my scene
we're on the brink
gotta find a way outta here
this is not my scene
they're on the brink
gotta find a way outta here

This Is Not My Scene

floatin' down a stream of conciousness
i've got some things that i need to address
spillin' guts all over the place 
a nice mug before i shot up your face
people say i'm a lady killer
people say i'm a lady killer
tied you up put a rag in your mouth
havin' fun the only way i knew how
we were spillin' all over the floor
i'd kill you once if you'd come back for more
people say i'm a lady killer
people say yeah, i'm a lady killer
lady killer on the loose
i advise that you watch your caboose
cuz you never know 
the next time he turns
may well be on you

Elvis Died The Same Year I Was Born

standing in a land with my heart held in my hand hardly looking up ain't it hard to accept a world that rejects those who refuse to stay inside the existing parameters laid down by some amateurs who applaud their own mediocrity but what else would you expect after lured into debt and then coaxed into eating from their hand that's just one way that they try to keep you in your place and there on a hill our savior was killed and he died with he in his mother's arms probably came as a surprise when after he died well he caused even more fuss and alarm than when he was first alive now i can see the forest for the trees and there's no time to waste you must let go of all your hate yesterday was when it should have been done but it's never too late

Seth's Big Break
By: Sean O'Dougherty
D  A  C#m  F#
there is this guy 
who writes songs
that i rip off and
he's a nice guy
although I think he minds
that i rip him off

Sometimes i 
feel sorry for him
it seems like
he's always getting 
the short end of the stick
i don't know why
things happen this way
it's time for Seth's big break
(slow)

one day you'll find him
on front of a wanted poster
cuz of all the trouble he's always getting himself into

D  A  E  F#
and even though
he got dropped by a
two ton anvil
he's always managing 
to get on
his feet again

i don't know why
things happen this way
it's not okay
it's time for seth's big break

his name is Seth
God give him a break 2x
his name is Seth
it's not all the same
his name is Seth
he's not all to blame
his name is Seth
give him a break
his name Seth
suffer all his shame
his name is Seth
forgive his father's name

Seth's Big Break

i've got something in the back of my mind/it tells me that I shouldn't feel this way/the shit in my head I just got to get it out/anything you do i'm gonna break you down/sometimes it feels like i'm going down/to a place i'm not myself/drowning in a pool of doubt/feeling like i'm selling out/now i'm in a hopeless state and i'm running out of gas/any longer and it may well be my last/sometimes it feels like i'm going down/to a place where i've lost myself/drowning in a pool of doubt/feeling like i'm selling out/i realize just who i am/and now i know that i'll find/now i know my direction/now i know my direction/answer me this simple question/what it means to be/what was exactly your intention/when you made me/now i know my direction/now i know my direction/now i know my direction/now i know my direction

Direction

dear god, 
can you see me safely through this life of mine
seems like i've got such a long way to go
so much to do and so much time
hear my desperate plea i need a sign
walking aimlessly i am so blind
shouting random words 
i'm playing random chords calling it a song
i'm here among your dying young
bite off my tongue
austere i stare aware i'm in your head
under your skin lying deep within your soul
i'm yelling fire now stop, drop, and roll
i'm yelling fire stop, drop, and roll
we're all alone in our burning homes
tryin' to keep cool in our bones
the heat is fierce it's fryin' our eyes out
there's no hope we jump out the window
all charred and black like an old smokestack with a broken back
all old and gray but that's ok, yeah i had my day
now there's nowhere and no one and nothing to do
so it's out with the old and it's in with the new...

Out With the Old and In With the Blues

a song for my baby/my baby just born/a sweet little diddy/about two lovers adjoined/your mom and daddy/think so much of you/we can't help but sing/my baby boo/my baby boo

My Baby Boo

i'm not a man/i'm just a boy/and i want to destroy your world/i'm feeding the meter/so you'll know when i have gone away/on a ship across the ocean/on a tidal wave of motion/on a boardwalk loaded with horse carousels/i'm watchin' you watchin' me/do you think we could both agree on at least one thing/i like a girl with the funky jive/hair that's long gone out of style/but still maintains a healthy shine/and i write this song for you/hoping it will do/what i want it to or not/like a ship across the ocean/like a tidal wave of motion/like a boardwalk loaded with horse carousels/if you could see inside my mind/what would you fined/but violation/all that you would find/ is violation

Violation

hide n' seek in the yard in the autumn when i was young
hide n' seek in the yard in the autumn when i  was young
chasin' things that the old folk cannot see
chasin' things the old folk cannot see
climbed up a tree down i came
like buckets full of rain i did
and he sewed ten stitches in my head
and said,"'you're lucky you ain't dead"
unbreakable spirits on fire
can you hear them building higher
the restaurants the bakeries yeah the diner down the street
the restaurant the bakery yeah the diner down the street
climbed up a tree down i came
like buckets full of rain i did
and he sewed ten stitches in my head
and said "you're lucky you ain't dead"
a sad case that paid no warning
to the white water churning
and all the love forgotten
short was the time allotted
climbed up a tree down i came
like buckets full of rain i did
and he sewed ten stitches in my head
and said, "you're lucky"
climbed up a tree down i came
and i ain't never been the same since then
it's not necessary to say i didn't
come away with the win

i know when i wake up
the sunshine's gonna come and cheer me up
cuz now and then i get the urge
to sleep until i'm rest assured
that my dream was complete
and while you were hoggin' all the sheets
i was ticklin' your ear and dribblin' on your pillow
i don't see why we all seem so set on being worried
why not take our time 
you leave in such a hurry
give it a chance
can i have this dance 
when we decide to take it slow
oh, you never know
outside my window
is another world i don't care to know
the streets were burning
and a tear dropped from my eye
a bond was forming 
but i was too young to realize 
love is blind...

Love is Blind

night all night after night all night after night
we fight and fight fighting fire with fire
cruel and unkind paying no mind no mind
to the wreckage left to the wreckage left behind
all the things said and done before
don't matter cuz the sun don't shine no more
cry all night cry all night all night
tryin to find try to find out why
but it ain't there there's no use this time
why'd we allowed to let it die
you decided when we were over with
you had given all you had to give
hold me  darlin
don't let it all just go and slip away
a way exists if you just stick with me today
today we'll find a way to make it all ok
find a way to make it all ok
you decided when we were over with
you had given all you had to give
hold me, darlin
don't let it all just go and slip away
a way exists if you just stick with me today
today we'll find a way to make it all ok
find a way to make it all ok
