Keep Running

Sir, can I help you?
Won’t you please take a seat?
And may I take your coat?
May I get you a drink?
I’ll be of service
Until I’m of no use
Go on and take what’s yours
Go on and take what’s mine, too
People like you, sir
They cannot get enough
Most can see through you though
You’re really not that tough
I heard a rumor
A warning once or twice
Always be skeptical
Especially if they’re nice

Sickening how 
You’ll rise
Anything for
Your prize
You don’t even
Realize
Believing in
Your lies

Taking and taking
You’re always wanting more
How much is way too much?
How can you game the score?
Distort your world view
Fold up your begging hands
Take our eyes and look, look
Words fall in silent strands
Skip broken egos
Have a secret to tell
We skate on broken glass
Reaching for what sells
Something will tell you
By looking in their eyes
They will reveal themselves

We see through
What you do
We see through
What you do
They all see through you, too
Watch what you do

Eyes on the Horizon (Instrumental) - (Brian Sangmeister & Star Madman)

If you reach 
You can take it
Eyes on the horizon, kiddo

No 
More lookin' back 
Go
You’re on the track 
It’s not surprising
Know 
It for a fact 
Glow
Eyes on the horizon, kiddo 

If you reach 
You can take it
Just believe
You can make it
Hold your head
High and steady 
Go ahead
You are ready 

Slow
Control your breath  
Show
The world your best
Quickly realizin'
No
One is impressed
So?
Eyes on the horizon, kiddo

If you reach 
You can take it
Just believe
You can make it
Hold your head
High and steady 
Go ahead
You are ready 
If you reach 
You can take it
Just believe
You can make it
Hold your head
High and steady 
Go ahead
You are ready 

And if the light seems dim
Just remember 
You've got to fight to win
Don’t surrender 
You’ll get back up again 
Don’t give in

There’s no more lookin' back 
No more lookin' back 
No, no, no, no, no, no

No more lookin' back 
There's no more lookin’ back

No, no more lookin' back
Keep your head up
Keep your head up 
No, no more lookin' back 
Eyes on the horizon

Terms of Endearment (Manhatten & Star Madman)

Walk to the floor
And get into the light 
Dance with me, babe
Or get outta my sight 
If you want more 
Than a good time tonight 
Just move to the side
Move to the side

I didn’t come here dressed like this to find love
You know the kind of attention that I want 

If you’re looking for a place to stay tonight 
If you’re looking for a place to hide
You can roll with me tonight
If you’re looking for somebody 
To change your life 
Baby, that’s not me 
But I’ll be what you need tonight
(But you better think fast)
Or just keep moving on
(That's not me, but I'll be what you need tonight)

Don’t make a sound
You’ve got too much to say 
Just shut your mouth
Or get out of my way 
We can get loud 
When we’re back at my place
So meet me outside
Catch me outside

Let’s not get caught up in feelings; let’s have fun
(Don’t you even think about walking away tonight)
Making our way to the exit; won’t you come? 
(‘Cause I promise to do all the things you like)

If you’re looking for a place to stay tonight 
If you’re looking for a place to hide
You can roll with me tonight
If you’re looking for somebody 
To change your life 
Baby, that’s not me 
But I’ll be what you need tonight
(But you better think fast)
Or just keep moving on
(That's not me, but I'll be what you need tonight)

Tell me what you need 
'Cause you know I'll give it to you tonight
But I'll be gone before the daylight
Tell me what you want 
'Cause I really think you need it tonight
I’ll be gone before the daylight

If you’re looking for a place to stay tonight 
If you’re looking for a place to hide
You can roll with me tonight
If you’re looking for somebody 
To change your life 
Baby, that’s not me 
But I’ll be what you need tonight
(But you better think fast)
Or just keep moving on
(That's not me, but I'll be what you need tonight)

Goddess of the Sea

once again
i come to this place
of reckoning
leave me here
all alone
my broken
heart
my hollow
bones

and when i think of god
i feel so alone
and when i see myself
my flesh don't match these bones
and when i think of god
i just wanna cry
and when i see myself
none of these parts are mine

and i’m still right here
like an ashtray
yesterday
used, burned
consumed
the fire is gone
and you blow me away

mirror mirror
on the wall
i’m made of glass
but aren’t we all
push me down
watch me fall
i break apart
my pieces crawl

reflected there
in your eyes
it should’ve come
as no surprise
which piece is gone
what’s missing now
you took from me
what happens now?

mirror mirror
on the wall
i’m made of glass
but aren’t we all
push me down
watch me fall
i break apart

when i think of god
i feel so alone
and when i see myself
my flesh don't match these bones
and when i think of god
i just wanna cry
and when i see myself
none of these parts are mine

and i’m still right here
like an ashtray
yesterday
used, burned
consumed
the fire is gone
and you blow me away

Ashtray (Denial Waits)

Why don't you come along with me?
Why don't you come along and see?

And we could be alone
On my dark road
Oh, don't you cry, my love
On my dark road

And you deserve the right to love me
You do
And I deserve the right to love you,
Love you

And we could be alone
On my dark road
Oh, don't you cry, my love
On my dark road

Without you, I can't get through
Follow me slowly
We won't be lonely
Who are you? I thought I knew
Come here and show me
I'll follow you

My Dark Road (Denial Waits)

Now listen to me
What do you see when you look at me?
Do you see what you want me to be?
Do you even see anything,
Or do I fade from your mind and your memory?

Tell me

You can be honest with me
I know it hurts sometimes
But sometimes it's easier to lie and pretend
Than try to write these lines with the tip of a pen

I did it again
I stayed up all night
Just to find the right line to write
I can't fight it anymore
Notebook pages scattered on the floor

And what's it all for?
Does anyone understand?
Does anyone really know what I am?
Does anyone really give a damn
About the words that I write
And the person that I am?

Life is just one big burn
Like a sunburn that you earn

Writing words can be harder than you think
My head just ran out of ink
I was trying to decide what to tell, what to hide
Which sides of my life
To reveal in due time

I've got places I keep in the dark
I've got secret pieces and parts
And what they are, I really can't say
If I don't give them a name
Then they just might go away

Life is all make believe
It's just a phony scheme
A screwed up dream that we're livin'
And there's so much that I've given
To people thinking they'd be nice in return
But I had to learn

Life is just one big burn
It's like a sunburn that you earn
It stays with you forever

And what's it all for?
Does anyone understand?
Does anyone really know what I am?
Does anyone really give a damn
About the words that I write
And the person that I am?

Life is just one big burn
Like a sunburn that you earn

One Big Burn (Denial Waits)

I remember them:
All the girls I forgot again
All the girls I was slippin' in
All the girls, they were strippin' and...

But I was trapped in your heart
Trapped in that place
Didn't know where to start

Came around and it all came back again
Came around and I gave it all up again
Came around and you lied to my face again
Came around and you fucked me all up again

Don't stop
Don't stop, just
Fuck me up again and we're not gonna stop

Last night
It was party time
When everything
Seemed to be like our first time
With the barley wine
Where everything
Faded away

Fast forward to the end of the show
Watched it all play out
And what do you know?

You lied; you're a liar
Every single day
You lied; you're a liar
Every single way

Fall down again
Had to break my heart
Fell down again
Back at the start

Don't stop

Down (Denial Waits)

I wanna see you fall away
To feel you come
To feel you go
To feel you say

Dream of you
Dream of me
Dream of the
Ways that we
Cut each other up

Cut you down
Fool around
And hear the sound

Come around
Just come around and

See you run and
See you fall and
See you runnin'
See you come and

Follow me
Come with me
Let me see if I
Run with me

Run and fall
Wanna try
Wanna try to be
A son of mine

Came to me
Thought of what
You thought of me
And said round 'em up

Find the truth
Find the why
Find the pain and be
A son of mine

Father, you
Father me
Every day I see you
Run to me

Falls on me cause it's
All I know
Fall on me like
Domino

I got nothing now
Nothing's me
Father/Me and I
Gotta see

And I gotta get
Home to me
And I gotta go
Home to breathe
And I stop

Why can't you just change your mind?
You're mine

Who said we can't change the past
This time?

I know it's strange and vast
At last, we found a sign

Who else can we blame for the ways
We can't ever align?

I wanna see you give away
All your love and
All your pain and
All your days

Hated you
Hated me
Hated the
Ways that we
Cut each other up

Put you down and
Stole your crown to
Hear the sound

Now gather 'round
Just gather 'round and

See you run and
See you fall and
See you runnin'

Back in time
Watching me
Watch the replays
On repeat

Run and fall
Wanna try
Wanna try to be
True to my

Inner self
Inner me
Inner truth
Not the enemy

Find the truth
Find the why
Find the pain and get
Re-aligned

Truly, you
Lied to me
Every day I see you
Smiled at me

It’s all my fault cause it’s
All I know
Fall on me like
Domino

I got nothing now
Nothing's me
Pushing me and I
Gotta see

And I gotta get
Home to me
And I gotta go
Home to breathe
And I stop

[Why can’t you just change?
Why can’t you just change your mind?
Why can’t you just change?
Everything is strange aligned]

Father/Me (Denial Waits)

I caught a glimpse of the future; we were older
But I keep failing at all of my attempts to see more 
I took a screenshot and put it in a folder
So I’d remember that we are worth fighting for

I only needed you to know

We never had our chance
It seems like life had other plans
So say you understand 

I only wanted close to you
I needed to be close to you
And everybody knows it’s true
So what am I supposed to do,
Just watch you walk away?

We can’t pretend that our lives are like a movie 
It won’t come easy, we’ve got to put in the work
We may not win but you know you’ll never lose me
I can see clearly what everything we have is worth 

There’s something I need you to know
I tried but I can’t let you go 

I hope I’m not too late
I never meant to make you wait
I’m bound to you by fate 

I only wanted close to you
I needed to be close to you 
And everybody knows it’s true
So what am I supposed to do,
Just watch you walk away?

Damn what I feel 
And every single day I feel it much more
We only needed one more day
We said the same thing yesterday 
But time has made a mockery 
Of everything we planned to be
Still we stay

My love for you will never fade  

Until we get our time
You know you’ll always be on my mind
Until you can be mine 

I only wanted close to you 
(Time is on our side)
And everybody knows it’s true
(Time is on our side)
So what am I supposed to do?
(Time is on our side)
So come and run away with me
(Time is on our side)
I needed to be close to you 
(Time is on our side)
And everybody knows it’s true
(Time is on our side)
So what am I supposed to do?
(Time is on our side)
So come and run away with me
(Time is on our side)
I only wanted close to you 
(Time is on our side)
And everybody knows it’s true
(Time is on our side)
So what am I supposed to do,
(Time is on our side)
Just watch you walk away?

Always

Never thought I'd see your face
There you stood on Convoy Way
So fine; you have made my day
My nerves faltered
Couldn't look away 
Couldn't look away
Couldn't look away
Couldn't look away

As we walked down on the beach 
You moved further out of reach 
Drifting slowly out to sea 
Drop your anchor
Come on back to me 
Come on back to me 
Come on back to me 
Come on back to me 

You're my missing person 
Ooooh, you left your mark and
Now I can't do without 
You're my missing person 
Ooooh, you left your mark and
Now I can't do without you

It’s time to make decisions
Go with your intuition 
Show me the way
Show me the play you’re making 
I can see us together
From now until forever
What do you say?
You know you make me crazy
Even in stormy weather
It doesn’t get much better
Things are okay
When you stay and embrace me
Nothing can come between us
You are the one I dream of
Don’t run away
Don’t run away, my baby

Never thought I'd see your face
There you stood on Convoy Way
So fine; you have made my day
My nerves faltered
Couldn't look away
Couldn't look away
Couldn't look away
Couldn't look away

Away
Away
Away
Away

Come on back to me

It’s time to make decisions
Go with your intuition 
Show me the way
I can see us together
From now until forever
What do you say?
Even in stormy weather
It doesn’t get much better
Things are okay
Nothing can come between us
You are the one I dream of
Don’t run away

Change (Do It Again) (Manhatten & Star Madman)

I'll take you to the forest 
I can make you feel like you're in a sunny paradise
But will you pay the price?
What if I am a goddess?  
What if I can make life seem like an ancient fairytale?
But will it end so well?

You look right past me at some different scenery
And what's within, you think is not worth anything
The warmth and passion in my soul counts as a non-entity
Perhaps you're a magical creature way beyond my humanity

I'll take you to the forest 
I can make you feel like you're in a sunny paradise
But will you pay the price?
 
I made a mistake judging your "innocent appearances"
You're an ancient soul and now deserve only deferences
You can transform to all kinds of wickedness find my weakness
But now l serve in peace and love avoiding your vengeance

I'll take you to the forest 
I can make you feel like your in a secret paradise
But will you pay the price?

As soon as I wake I
Cannot escape it 
There’s no debating 
I need to be around you 
Things worth exploring 
Never get boring 
You keep restoring
My faith in the power of two 

And I've never felt this way ever before
And it rocks me to my core

And I shake when I think about it
What if you can live without it?
What if you don’t want me anymore?
And I hate that I think about it
Hate that I can’t live without it
It’s become something I can’t ignore 
And I pray that you feel the same way 
Waiting for the words you won’t say
You know you don’t call me like before
But I shake when I think about you
Thinking of the things that we do 
Break until I’m breaking down your door
I can stand it anymore 

As long as I’m breathing 
I’m never leaving 
Say how you’re feeling 
We won’t get any younger 
It’s not a secret
God knows I need it 
You'd best believe it 
Please help me feed this hunger 
Are you retreating? 
When are we meeting?
Come here and see me
Go ahead, pull me under
Can you not see it?
Can you not read it?
I found a meaning
That makes me start to wonder why

Why I've never felt this way ever before
Why it shakes me more and more

And I shake when I think about it
What if you can live without it?
What if you don’t want me anymore?
And I hate that I think about it
Hate that I can’t live without it
It’s become something I can’t ignore 
And I pray that you feel the same way 
Waiting for the words you won’t say
You know you don’t call me like before
But I shake when I think about you
Thinking of the things that we do 
Break until I’m breaking down your door
I can stand it anymore

Go Get It

I know that you’re afraid
Of their division and hate 
But you deserve to celebrate 
You and the life you’ve made

Break through the surface
And into this world
Nothing can stop you 
You’ve made it this far
You have a purpose
Deserve to be heard
Claim your identity
You should be free 
Free to show them who you are 

I’m so tired of the fight
But we, we gotta do what’s right 
I hope they can see the light
I don’t know how they sleep at night
It’s an obsession
I don’t understand
It’s their confession
They’ve shown us their hand
Now we know just who they are 

Break through the surface
And into this world
Nothing can stop you
You’ve made it this far
(And you show them who you are)
You have a purpose
Deserve to be heard
Claim your identity
You should be free
Free to show them who you are

Break through the surface
And into this world
(And you show them who you are)
Nothing can stop you 
You’ve made it this far
(And you show them who you are)
You have a purpose
Deserve to be heard
(And you show them who you are)
Claim your identity
You should be free 
Free to show them who you are

Memory

Can I come over
And see you again?
Can I get closer?
I guess you're more than a friend

I want to hold you
I want to kiss you
I should have told you
I'd miss you
When all of this ends

It's just one moment
One second in time
We get to own it
I am yours and you are mine

Let's get together
And talk about it
You know I'll be there
Don't doubt it
Don't worry
It's fine

Can you feel the distance?
Can you heed the distance?

Shhh
Don't worry
Shhh
About me
Don't you worry
I'm your baby now

Can you feel the distance?
Can you heed the distance?

And you never really ever,
Never really ever go home

Can I come over?
Can I get closer?
Can I come over?

Shhh
Don't worry
Shhh
About me
Don't you worry
I'm your baby now

Don't Come Back

Wisdom

I never heard the answer 
I’ve been looking to the stars above
I know there’s somethin’ out there
And it’s looking for you, love 
You never gave a damn, dear
And now they finally came for me
Will you please give me a hand here 
Cuz they’re looking at me angrily 

I hoped you could understand it 
But you just looked at me lost and sad
I know you could never plan sh*t
And it always made me mad
Lowered my expectations 
But I still can’t get through to you
So I honed my vocations
Tell me what else could I do

Take me home

I’m finally feeling myself again
I really think it’ll be ok
Wisdom gave me a second chance
Not romance 

As I turned a new chapter 
Always thought you’d be by my side
But after this whole disaster
I can swallow all my pride 
I can do this without you 
Never thought I would say those words
It’s not always about you 
You’re not the only one who’s hurt
And when I call out your bullsh*t
You can never accept the blame
Why do you want to push it
It’s like you like to play this game 
I get fed up with the b*tching 
I just want to be by myself 
I’m tired of always wishin’
I was with somebody else

Take me home

I’m finally feeling myself again
I really think it’ll be ok
Wisdom gave me a second chance
Not romance 

Take me home
