Safe In Harm 04:31
Over here, you hide me from the light Over here, the darkness burns so bright Over here, there is no sound Safely say you keep me... from harm On this floor, you stand so tall On this floor, I burn so cold Over here, your nails are so sharp Over here, you sure look so dark Over here, the voice inside me breaks Safely say you keep me... from harm For on this floor, my trembling hands are tied And on this floor, my voice now only lies In this corner, I’m whisperin’ your name Safely say you keep me out of harm’s way In this corner, you’re just my poker game Can I safely say you keep me out of harms way? Over here, my skin is so fair And over here, my eyes wide, so scared Oh over here, my heart no longer dares I no longer say you keep me... from harm For on this floor, my hands’ no longer tied And on this floor, I trust no more lies Honey, in this corner, you’re puttin’ gas on my flame But, boy your fire won’t keep me in harm’s way In this corner, your lies are fallin’ lame But can safely say I’m now out of harm’s way And in this corner with your sticks and stones My bones may break, my heart may moan In this corner, I’m not you’re stepping stone In this corner, you just can’t atone In this corner, you just can’t atone

It Matters 03:47
As if it matters Oh it matters... What matters is you’re not here now Resenting me, resenting you Why did it have to come to this? See my heart, see through my clothes If this is love, why does it hurt so Someone out there cries for you You’ll see that she’s your one too Signalling in the dark Reaching out while you sleep You look so peaceful and it makes me weak All I need is a change from you See my heart, see through my clothes If this is love, why does it hurt so Someone out there cries for you You’ll see that she’s your one too Don’t let it get you down We had a good run Someone out there cries for you Dry your eyes and see the sun So, don’t let it get you down Life’s too short and you’re so young Someone out there cries for you You’ll see that she’s your one I don’t want to think no more And I don’t want to cry Having you once was easy But now it’s hard to remember why... See my heart, see through my clothes If this is love, why does it hurt so Someone out there cries for you You’ll see that she’s your one too

Cold Shots 04:33
So, you’re done with me baby Was done with me - long, long time ago You’re tellin’ me so Way you treated me baby Cold shots of pain - I tried not to show Yeah... I’m telling you so Way I treated you baby Cold shots of pain - I tried not to show Didn’t you know Dry your eyes See for sure... There ain’t no more From me Sure have quit you baby Your pleads now fallin’ on my deaf ears I’m tellin’ you, hear me... My heart’s ice for you baby Cold shots of pain - Time to turn back the years Now seeing clear Really loved you I loved you... Where’d it go? You should know Shake those shackles free baby Oh, baby – My hands are tied No more compromise Way you treated me baby Cold shots of pain - Fast enough, you can’t hide Oh, my tears are now dry

Cut through the night, baby what do you see? Watchin’ a fate come troublin’ me Got the night sweats, I twist and I squirm A dark black beauty, red mouth turning the worm Ah hah, ah hah Black dog – jaw’s red Ah hah, ah hah, Whoa... and I’m cut to the quick Can’t lie still – freight train burstin’ my head Cross-hair vision, see nothin’ but dread Back door scratchin’, endurance run dry I’m prayin’ sweet Jesus, don’t turn no blind eye Ah hah, ah hah Black dog, mean trick Ah hah, ah hah And I’m still cut to the quick Through red mist eyes Dawns a hungry sky Whoa, chill wind she cries Mama please - tell me why Got me in a vice, I can taste your love germ A dark black beauty, red mouth turns the worm White flag up pole, my endurance run dry I’m prayin’ sweet Jesus – don’t turn no blind eye I’m prayin’ sweet Jesus – don’t turn no blind eye I’m prayin’ sweet Jesus – don’t turn no blind eye Ah hah, ah hah Black dog – night sweats Ah hah, ah hah Whoa... Ah hah, ah hah, Hell’s hound – jaw’s wet Ah hah, ah hah, Whoa... And I’m cut to the quick

Crimson Lips 05:01
She was lost... he was found Made her smile... lifted her frown Heart beats faster, her voice would sing Those crimson lips were his new thing Hard, sharp, handsome - her eyes burned a-fresh Yin to his yang... east to her west A kiss so severe, yeah... speaks to her skin, But pain stained her mind - looking back.... played her sin... She danced to his trance - the attraction rang true “We don’t need nothing now... it’s just me and you” Shared shameless thoughts, her sex poised to strike Past makes history - hunger takes flight In many ways, times malaise... feel both the same Sometime it’s hard, hard – who takes the blame? He loitered, untamed – like a cunning pest But these new strapping arms, now her safety vest She croon sweet melody, cuts him to his core Love stroking, past choking... asphyxiates lover’s spore Sweet sting, wedding ring, love’s hymn... or just a whim? This scare her more... How do they win? So this the prize, a pain in the heart Souls bemused - even when apart Love swears forever, maybe false guarantee? What measures this heart – where’s my warranty

Thirty miles in the rain Slower every step Wish I could be there again Coming home slowly I’m coming home slowly Take me back I’m coming home slowly See your face before my feet Every single step Soon I’ll be back home again Coming home slowly I’m coming home slowly Take me back I’m coming home slowly Closer to your heart I’ll try to walk faster Never leave you again Coming home slowly I’m coming home slowly Take me back I’m coming home slowly I’m coming home slowly

Got some hunger in my heart Sayin’, we’ll never fall apart I’m tryin’ – not cryin’, daybreak’s a fresh start So grab your compass, map my heart You sure ain’t no bit part Down a freeway of desire – think we’ll take it to the wire Where will we go to? Who will follow you? Sometime, it’s a Mystery Machine That plays it off so keen – sky so aqua-marine I’m a slave to your vibration You’re my life’s aspiration Got some patchwork... de-sire A scratchy frequency Lock the dial, set your mind free I see my path... now is it through gold? Where will we go to? Who will follow you? Sometime, it’s a Mystery Machine Win/lose - it’s unforeseen – but sky’s still aqua-marine With the touch of a loving hand This story shall be grand See the lovely ones graze the green grass A scratchy frequency Lock the dial, set your mind free I see the way... and it streams through gold Where will we go to? Who will follow you? Some-time, it’s a Mystery Machine Win/lose - it’s unforeseen – but sky still aqua-marine Where will we go to? Who will follow you? Some-time, it’s a Mystery Machine That plays it off so keen – but life’s still aqua-marine

So Crazy 05:56
Can’t shake the blues Can’t shake the blues The city lights blind me Faceless people all around I’m lost and never found I’m lost and never found As a child I’d sing and laugh Not a worry in my heart of hearts Can’t shake the blues Can’t shake the blues Waiting for the light, the light... to break my dark Stop Breath Listen The sound escapes me I’m heading north, nowhere to be... Music – sweet melody, and you – my harmony Fierce and wild, love you Love me hard - Love you so crazy Can’t shake the blues - bound by rules Poison so deadly, drive the car Can you see, that we are free? Can you see, that we are free It seems so strange, to feel alone Lights are on, the whole neighbourhood is home Can’t shake the blues - Can’t shake the blues Maybe they’re all wrong... Or we don’t belong Stop Breath Listen - The sound escapes me I’m heading north, no where to be Music – sweet melody, and you – my harmony Fierce and wild, love you Love me hard - Love you so crazy I feel the wind, the wind in my hair, we drive on Tired of questioning, its time to live Don’t stop this car, the road’s far too long Don’t leave me now, you are my love song Love you so crazy Love me hard baby Love you... love you so crazy

Silk Vaccine 03:50
Where did you come from darlin’ Think you came from a dream Slide ‘neath my blanket baby Pull it tight and let me in I’ve got a hunger baby Got a thirst just can’t satisfy Fill my soul with sunshine Turn water into wine Your springtime smile baby Makes my life evergreen Rustling meadows brushed golden Your sting’s - my silk vaccine Why, why, why, why... The universe so sly Cannot disguise... What love implies Out of a cloud of confusion Lying here by my side Your sunshine sounds oh, baby They make my ears smile... Where did you come from baby Think you came from a dream Fill my soul with sunshine Your sting’s - my silk vaccine Your springtime smile darlin’ Makes my life evergreen Rustling meadows brushed golden Your sting’s - my silk vaccine Ooh - my silk vaccine Ahh - my silk vaccine

Who cares most when you call? Once you’re bruised it hurts much more Kissed so softly, spoke to her skin Letting go became her sin Wasting time doing the simple things, Didn’t matter what they’d do... In many ways they were the same Who say it’s hard – she his perfect game Told her, yeah she looks so nice Skin smells just like butterscotch Together they were true love Yeah, a love un-dreamed of Love in the eyes, you just can’t tear apart Souls confused – this their fresh start In many ways they were the same Who say it’s hard – their love set a-flame Pay attention to me A loving hand sets me free Can you see, life’s just part of death? So stitch me up with your golden thread She shared her deepest thoughts Great minds do think alike Kissed so softly – sow and you’ll reap Awakening... is the new sleep A golden thread... love’s grand leap
