Paris (free) 04:54
Paris When I die When I die Take me far away To the water, You know the place Where Michael waits Just to see My Holly home plays When I die, Don't You cry Don't you cry, Don't you cry On that day, My Demons and Angels are on the same side and You know where I lie Death is not my home For long shall I roam and that little place in your heart We'll never part, When I'm gone Don't You Cry When I die Make sure Boots are my foot Jeans are on my legs Them keys be round my neck I am ready You know I'll never put a stop in my fight I am ready I'm on my side When I die I won't die
2.
Gentle Rain (free) 01:36
Gentle Rain When you looked into my eyes You kissed me, and that was all I needed To sustain my suspicions and leave me achin for the rest of time. When you screamed at me, I screamed back and I told a big fat lie Though I still don't know the definition of o.k. The confusion, the longing, the what if's, the wanting. But, the Prince and the Pauper could never be My gold is your silver Your gold doesn't exist and I ponder that land as an alien Awkwardly sittin at the table not knowin which fork to use When you looked into my eyes You kissed me and that was all I needed For the rest of time
3.
Sirens (free) 02:24
Sirens Fully functioning psychotic Every step makin noise A warnin Oh jingle, Oh jangle, a boot trot She's not in hidin It's the new age of sirens callin Hope, Love, Dreamers, The ones with trance like eyes, Sadness Clawin their way, hesitantly, knowin it is a suicide mission With sighs, They all agree, It's the only way So they call, so they draw, they stomp, and sing Paradin the new old beat It's the new age of sirens callin Heard through even the simplest of sounds. Loneliness, Self deprivation, Self Preservation, Manic Depressive, Bipolar, Split Personality, Disorder this, Disorder that, Crazy, Delusional Call It what you will Fully functioning psychotic It's just a new sane It's the new old age of sirens Sirens callin

Your World Not belongin to that world of yours Can't mix water with oil What are you hidin up your sleeve? Gravy bowls and sippin straws Momma raised us better Wipe your feet, at the door Look into eyes when speakin Speak when spoken to Not belongin to that world of yours Now you're terrified Don't know what you've done Emotions create monsters Fairytales aren't the only ones and When the Sun Rises You will wipe your brow Why have you been sweatin all night? What fears awoke into nightmares? If we shut our lips, All will be seen If we shut our lips, All will be seen Not belongin to that world of yours What world did you create that let me in Can't mix water with oil Can't mix new with old, Or maybe you can, maybe you can If we shut our lips, All will be seen If we shut our lips, All will be seen Not belongin to that world of yours So What world did you create that let me in? That let me in?
5.
Right (free) 01:25
Right I'll fall to the floor if you are right Honey, I'll sell my soul, If you are right If you are right, If you are right I'll tell the whole world if you are right Ain't no one gonna notice if you are wrong I'll clap my hands if you are wrong When I say human, I don't mean you But I'd rather be an animal than be you Check your pockets, You'll find rocks Check those eyes, Higher than a kite If you were smart you'd keep in mind It All falls down one day. It all falls down one day But, bein smart, doesn't pay I'll fall to the floor if you are right Honey, I'll sell my soul if you are right If you are right, If you are right I'll tell the whole world But I know, Damn well That you aren't right I'll tell the whole world that you aren't right. You aren't right

New Circus In Town (free) 04:11
New Circus In Town She swings with the light in her eyes The audience is clappin Themed in black and white Luscious images flowin madly It looks like they aren't breathing Gracefully moldin new ideas of what it means to have a body The lion bows, at his feet A child is placed, like ridin a pony The lion sings and the child smiles Seein the eyes of fate put back into place A village Born again A jungle, Shrieking Oh it's funny How the clothed are more insecure Than the naked Oh it's funny How the clothed are more insecure Than the naked She swings with the light in her eyes The audience is clappin Not knowin The whole Circus is blind Not knowin the whole Circus is blind Blind

Your World(candied) (free) 03:33
Your World Not belongin to that world of yours Can't mix water with oil What are you hidin up your sleeve? Gravy bowls and sippin straws Momma raised us better Wipe your feet, at the door Look into eyes when speakin Speak when spoken to Not belongin to that world of yours Now you're terrified Don't know what you've done Emotions create monsters Fairytales aren't the only ones and When the Sun Rises You will wipe your brow Why have you been sweatin all night?

Sub Rosa (free) 03:20
Sub Rosa And what's it all for I can limbo till I'm sore But, I'd rather sit bald, bein poured down on And what's it all for Tryin to eat it up, before it goes rotten Tryin to chug it down, before it goes sour And another wilted rose joins the garden As I pray For All that is sacred Who will pick the weeds Who will sing, when you need a distraction Who will cry, when your well's run dry And what's it all for When your feet, start goin through the wooden planks And the walls start rollin, like a rusty 57 Chevy Broken bones need a home, Especially when they are Like my holey jeans I want her close to my skin And what's it all for I can limbo till I'm sore But I'd rather grow old Like when I was first sold On all your Imperfections Like my holey jeans I want you, On top of me Like my holey jeans I want you, On top of me And what's it all for You ask Everything

I Insist (free) 02:47
I Insist I'm a secret, I don't exist Said Incest to Insist But how can you not exist? I Insist, it must be you Incest It's too small out there Not Necessarily But, Too many things are related and without you Incest It doesn't make sense One is drawn to, what closely resembles, related to oneself But, Insist I Insist, It's not me Those are just coincidences But, What about the Blue Blood? Shhhh I'm a Secret, I don't Exist How many people would admit Round and round a small town not too hard to do Before you know You've got a show It's a family affair Family affair And what about the sayin? Keep it in the family Shhhhh I'm a Secret I don't Exist I Insist I Insist

Left leg (free) 02:02
Left Leg Don't want you to hurt I don't want you to be sad I feel the pain of my other half Might as well say we're sewn together That awkwardness is long gone Slumpin our shoulders, It's hard not to fall over The weight is the biggest brick wall and When we're able We'll climb over, to share at show and tell To have all the best of Kindergarten and Graduation Left leg falls asleep, Right one steadies Now turn to me I want to watch the pain fade You know that's the best part of this movie I Don't want you to hurt I don't want you to be sad I feel the pain of my other half Might as well say we're sewn together That awkwardness is long long gone long gone Long GONE

Your World Along the guidelines of Your World Lyrics. September 29th took the lyrics and ran with it. From her own mind of marvel, without hearing the track I had already laid down. The beat is addictive :) Makes my boots tap. Not belongin to that world of yours Can't mix water with oil What are you hidin up your sleeve? Gravy bowls and sippin straws Momma raised us better Wipe your feet, at the door Look into eyes when speakin Speak when spoken to Not belongin to that world of yours Now you're terrified Don't know what you've done Emotions create monsters Fairytales aren't the only ones and When the Sun Rises You will wipe your brow Why have you been sweatin all night? What fears awoke into nightmares? If we shut our lips, All will be seen If we shut our lips, All will be seen Not belongin to that world of yours What world did you create that let me in Can't mix water with oil Can't mix new with old, Or maybe you can, maybe you can If we shut our lips, All will be seen If we shut our lips, All will be seen Not belongin to that world of yours So What world did you create that let me in? That let me in?

A Collector's Guidebook So I started off on this trip, not knowin exactly what I'd need. Some birthed their way via Dreamland Thankfully that took some of the pressure off Slowly but surely like Humpty Dumpty A process of taking a part and putting it all back together Though I'd say it doesn't quite look right The workings seem to keep the time A Universal tic toc A Collector's Guidebook A-Z A-Apocalypse(A Complex) B-Boots(Thick Skin) C-Caves(Spanish ones, accessible by small watercraft) D-Distressed(Items and Souls) E- Electricity(Not that kind) F-Faces(like masks floatin about) G-Glue(Some things have to be sticky) H-Heat(An Artistic Mirage, add an R you've a heart) I-Imagination(To remove bored boredom from the dictionary, all languages) J-Joker(Remember this, relax your shoulders, have some fun) K-Knights in White Satin L-Love, Life, Lust, Loss, Lost, Light, Limp M-Move, Moody, Elevated Superbly lit movie N-Necessary Evils O-Onsite Stenographer P-Personal(Don't let them tell you otherwise) Q-Quick reflexes R-Rain S-(Saloon stories and secrets, We've all got em) T-Trucks and Titillatin time U-U V-Voice(A voice is a voice) W-Why's, and Why Not's and Women, I Wonder) X-Come on, It marks the spot, what else is it good for? Y- Y You &- ampersand after ampersand Z- Zoo, That's all So I know I've missed a lot But, We all know Sometimes Words Just Can't Do Justice
