Newly remastered Darkness
You're such a goody two shoes - don't smoke you don't drink booze - sometimes i wonder - how i hooked up with you - you never let your hair down - hardly ever come around - is it that you think your just too good for me.
I'm starting to think can't handle the pressure got a My Little Pony on your dresser for Christ's sake - still believe in elves and Santa Claus - wonder what's really in those dresser drawers -  every time i walk in i have to pause waiting for the moment you take out your claws I'll never believe your really this nice - accepted a man that's cold as ice.
I can see your bright eyes shining through my window i can see your kindness your tranquility - I'm thrown off by your good deeds you'll never suit my needs i just need some darkness you're way too bright for me
Your so conceited when you show the goodness in you and every time i falter you throw it in my face - I'm such a disappointment yet you still come back for more - in spite of all your sweetness your really a disgrace - 
I'm starting to think that i should run this relationship just isn't fun for me no more - still believe in hugs and holding hands you're so blind that's not who i am - may have been back then who i was - used to hit you up all the time just because but that type of shit's all in the past - you can shove your righteousness up your ass
I can see your bright eyes shining through my window i can see your kindness your tranquility - I'm thrown off by your good deeds you'll never suit my needs i just need some darkness you're way too bright for me
I'm starting to think the roof's caving in  I used to believe I was one with the one who made me sin - truth is i really don't care could really give a shit if you're elsewhere darkness has a hold on me open up my arms and welcome him in even if I'm damned for eternity - i don't give a fuck you're too bright for me

Lyrics:

Sitting here, searching my mind in the dark
Trying to find a dignified way out...

I am trying to leave you
But its harder than i thought
I feel so sorry for you..
You say you need me
Beg me not to go
But i have to find out who i am....

But its hard
I feel so bad
I will not hurt you, or make you sad...

I am trying to leave you
But its harder than i thought
I feel so sorry for you
You say you need me
Beg me not to go
But i have to find out who i am...

I must be strong
Decide what i want to do
Even if it might end in me hurting you...

I am trying to leave you
But its harder than i thought
I feel so sorry for you...
You say you need me
Beg me not to go
But i have to find out who i am...

I need to find my way
I need to heal my heart
I know i have to take this fight...

I am trying to leave you
But its harder than i thought
I feel so sorry for you...
You say you need me
Beg me not to go
But i have to find out who i am...

I am trying to leave you
But its harder than i thought
I feel so sorry for you...
You say you need me
Beg me not to go
But i have to find out who i am....

Ohhhhh..........

Trying To Leave You (original)

am here for you 

(includes a mash-up from Ephesians 6:12 in second verse)


(g) let the peace come 
(c) that passes under (g) standing
(c) beyond the need of (g) striving
(d) (c) oh, let the peace (g) come.

(g) let the rain fall 
(c) upon the desert (g) aching
(c) on hearts forever (g) breaking
(d) (c) oh, let the sweet rain (g) fall

(em) I’ve been waiting to (d) tell you
(em) that we have finally (d) made it (c) through

(em) I’ve been longing to (d) love you
(em) in the way that you (d) need me (c) to. 

(am7) am here for (g) you
(repeat spoken)



we don’t wrestle 
against flesh and blood that’s ours
but principalities and powers
oh, yeah, the darkness of this world

in every high place
the spiritually wicked
the iniquity of rulers
oh, yeah, the darkness of this world


I’ve been waiting to tell you
that we have finally made it through

I’ve been longing to love you
in the way that you need me to. 

am here for you
(repeat spoken)



in this garden
stillness falls upon us
nothing here could wrong us
oh, mm, the mystery of your eyes

flows the fountain
under light from heaven
the moon a silver crescent
oh, mm, a kiss that never dies
I’ve been waiting to tell you
that we have finally made it through

I’ve been longing to hold you
in the way that you taught me to.

am here for you.

am here for you.

am here for you.

Lyrics:

Can you feel the rain falling down
Can you see the moon spinning round
Can you feel the earth beneath your feet
Can you feel the sun’s penetrating heat

Chorus

That's when I hold you in my arms
Protect and keep you safe and warm
That's when I hold you in my arms
Protect and keep you safe from harm

Bridge

Everyone will tell you exactly how love feels
But no one can tell you if this love, love is real

Music break - Solo

Can you feel the breeze blowing through your hair
When I touch your skin are you  more aware
Can you free your mind without a care
Can you feel the love when we are near

Chorus x 2

Can you feel the rain
Can you fall in love

Lyrics: Modern Times by IPG1
Verse 1
Am I playing the wrong game —- where losing’s a crime Time’s just not the same—-and there’s no one here to blame In these modern times——where machines reigns supreme breaking all the chains——-to fulfill my dreams ————And that’s a solid —because—- yeah—— I’m back————- Metaphors and rhymes——-my weapons on this track Modulating -from the underground ——one culture one voice And we’re —-wired in like teeth—-like we—-ever—-had a choice Chorus Modern times---- a difficult maze Where screens captivate —— the Information Age And—-We're all connected——yet we’re—also——-alone Lost in a sea of pixels----hearts ———-—cold as stone Modern times————Modern times ——-Modern times

Verse 2 Smartphones--at our side—-our constant companions That double-edged sword—-has become ——-part of the norm buzzing Notifications——like a relentless swarm Distracting —us ——-from moments —-another task ——to perform Just another monster ———taking physical form

**Chorus** Bridge Artificial intelligence--- a marvel and a threat Replacing human minds--- leaving us —-deep in debt Algorithms —-determine our fate—without regret—- Like marionettes ———or puppets on a strings Manipulating our thoughts——damn—we are feeding these things

Verse 3 Social media——-a stage ——for the soul to bare Beneath the surface——lies ——and deceptions —-are clear We curate our lives——-like a perfect facade our true selves———pushed aside ——in total disregard

**Chorus** Outro In this digital age---we must find our way Embracing the power——with a huge price to pay There’s a balance for the screens —-in real life With the key to our future——a new vision insight
