  • Chris Donley-PLEASE AGREE (2021)
    1. I promise ​ Singing for my supper the canary got the diamond instead bringing me down now with the upper you always knew how to get in my head *smiles are just the muscle not the bone are you the mid-wife? or rent-to-own wet nurse are you swift with your heads or tailor making everyone a sow-ear purse ​ I would kill myself if I had to die here are you a make-believer? have you heard yourself talk way too much? now you’re a paid deceiver who couldn’t be more so out of touch *smiles are just the muscle not the bone the cavity is better left alone $ I would kill myself if I had to die here I promise this isn’t a cry for help I promise I couldn’t even help myself 2. All night forever There are two types of people left here in this world you and everybody else confirmed but you can brave the weather and you can make it better it can’t just be your circumstance it’s all night forever all night forever *Bad dreams again when will this nightmare ever end? There are two choices out there doesn’t that seem absurd? Right and left belong to the exact same bird but they’re birds of a feather and they just work together and we will kill ourselves, ourself it’s all night forever all night forever *Bad dreams again when will this nightmare ever end? it’s all night forever all night forever all night forever all night forever 3. Hero in you If I said that I missed you would I be able to misuse all the intended miscues that I planned that along? If I said that I missed you and that I missed out on bliss too could I then dismiss you so we could reminisce soon? *Feel me in your arms I’m the hero in you Feel me in your heart are you ready for something new? And if I never see you again then I won’t have to flee you again I could just be carefree from sin or free of caring from within *Feel me in your arms I’m the hero in you Feel me in your heart are you ready for something new? *Feel me in your arms I’m the hero in you Feel me in your heart are you ready for something new? are you ready for something new? are you ready for something new? are you ready for something new? 4. Wake up Wake up Wake up I know too much now I forgot it all don’t know no one’s number so I don’t call Wake up Wake up Now I don’t nothing maybe I never did 30 seconds ago I tried to sell my wit Wake up Wake up there’s a big difference in our pipe dreams mine are empty, yours are always full there’s a big difference in our pipe dreams mine are empty, yours are always full Wake up Wake up Wake up Wake up 5. Let Down What if I was to tell you that I’m that I’m somebody else would you still be you? What if I was to tell you I want to be somebody else would I still not even be your number two? would I still be the last on the list for you? *But I’m 1/2 a “handle” down and I’m never coming down so tired of being let down *But I’m 1/2 a “handle” down and I’m never coming down so tired of being let down what if I was to tell you that I… that I’m no longer here would you even know at all? what if I was to tell you what you don’t want to hear would you just blame the alcohol? or would you understand at all? or finally see the writing on the wall? *But I’m 1/2 a “handle” down and I’m never coming down so tired of being let down *But I’m 1/2 a “handle” down and I’m never coming down so tired of being let down I’m taking my ball and going home I’m taking my ball and going home because I don’t belong I don’t belong anywhere *But I’m 1/2 a “handle” down and I’m never coming down so tired of being let down so tired of being let down 6. Hear for you I’ll request the number and identity please and hope you don’t outnumber all our common enemies *because we bleed at the same speed with a real need to get out of here but we’ll be taking one knee and only we see what we need to hear I’m here for you I’m here for you I’ll request nothing at all from anyone anymore and I’ll put all my weapons down you can have your war *because we bleed at the same speed with a real need to get out of here but we’ll be taking one knee and only we see what we need to hear We just to listen for once and throw away our arrogance We just to listen for once and throw away our arrogance *because we bleed at the same speed with a real need to get out of here but we’ll be taking one knee and only we see what we need to hear *because we bleed at the same speed with a real need to get out of here but we’ll be taking one knee and only we see what we need to hear I’m here for you I’m here for you 7. My only brother Alone on a tandem I’ll be riding alone pick the cologne at random just to mess with Mary Kay but when I finally get there to the place that’s not known will there still be any air or will it all be overblown? *death makes brothers of us all my only brother is alcohol keep your knives on the table so I can see where they’re at but until I am able to forgive this still in my back *death makes brothers of us all my only brother is alcohol I don’t have to hear your story you told it yourself but go on and take all your glory to the personnel *death makes brothers of us all my only brother is alcohol *death makes brothers of us all my only brother is alcohol my only brother 8. Meaningless I don’t want to be here It’s just too cruel I don’t want to be seen here it’s just too cruel arguing with a fool only proves that there’s two *so I’ll just keep staring at the ceiling and try to find some kind of meaning I don’t want to be here it’s just too cold there’s just no room to breathe here and too many molds *so I’ll just keep staring at the ceiling and try to find some kind of meaning if there is any at all if there is any at all *so I’ll just keep staring at the ceiling and try to find some kind of meaning *so I’ll just keep staring at the ceiling and try to find some kind of meaning if there is any at all if there is any at all 9. Pretty Death Here I am as lonely as God drawing trees on paper again but the fact checker has taken the whole year off and has eloped with a favorite part-time vegan *pouring salt in the wound by saying “pouring salt in the wound” pretty death come hold breath petty debt is all you will get pretty death come hold breath pretty death Here I am again as lonely as God tearing down the walls of wolves but the logical thinker has taken the whole year off and paid all tolls with their souls *pouring salt in the wound by saying “pouring salt in the wound” pretty death come hold breath petty debt is all you will get pretty death come hold breath pretty death *pouring salt in the wound by saying “pouring salt in the wound” *pouring salt in the wound by saying “pouring salt in the wound” pretty death come hold breath pretty death come 10. Ears of the wise It’s hard to tell on one hand the number of you that have made a plan it feels as though we’ll have to escape at night because in my life, I know I won’t see this place unite *the sooner religion dies the sooner humanity thrives gossip and folklore and lies will die when it reaches the ears of the wise *the sooner religion dies the sooner humanity thrives gossip and folklore and lies will die when it reaches the ears of the wise The past has reared it’s ugly head again tainting the hearts and minds of simple men who think they should be ruled with an iron fist but it’s their own book’s message they have missed *the sooner religion dies the sooner humanity thrives gossip and folklore and lies will die when it reaches the ears of the wise *the sooner religion dies the sooner humanity thrives gossip and folklore and lies will die when it reaches the ears of the wise you’d burn me for heresy when peace is all I want to see if you think that I’m wrong then think that I’m wrong but if I’m right everything will be alright *the sooner religion dies the sooner humanity thrives gossip and folklore and lies will die when it reaches the ears of the wise *the sooner religion dies the sooner humanity thrives gossip and folklore and lies will die when it reaches the ears of the wise *the sooner religion dies the sooner humanity thrives gossip and folklore and lies will die when it reaches the ears of the wise 11. Please agree Spread a little common sense on the bread for me try to live your life in the present tense is what she plead to me hope to find the lining in the silver screen through the red in my eyes and make believe your life can be your favorite scene is what she said before I died *but we’ve all seen this told before and we’ve all seen them close the door a woman’s hardest job is probably juggling wolves in sheep’s clothes at home leave a finger on the barely beating pulse before it goes alone *but we’ve all seen this told before and we’ve all seen them close the door ! Because nothing’s left of me who would have guessed I need I need some rest from me please agree please agree *but we’ve all seen this told before and we’ve all seen them close the door *but we’ve all seen this told before and we’ve all seen them close the door ! Because nothing’s left of me who would have guessed I need I need some rest from me please agree please agree
  • Chris Donley-Her Eyes On (2017)
    HER EYES ON (2017) ​ 1. Cozy Come on inside Make yourself at home And give me your coat Come on inside And hide from the cold Our oldest foe ​ cuz now I’m home Go on and lay down Cuz this one’s for you If wishes came true Go on and lay down This time it’s for real Someone’s here for you cuz now I’m home but this house is not a home I’m always here alone Wherever I may roam When you’re not around this house is not a home You’re huffin’ and puffin’, blowin’ my house down But now we’ll build it all again cuz now I’m home ​ 2. Seven Years I’m moving on But it’s hard when everyone around me Won’t let you be gone I wish you well I’ve been over all of this for years I hope that you can tell But if it wasn’t for the time to say Thank you For seven years to blame We could stand here looking backwards But that would be a shame seven years to blame We could stand here looking backwards But we’d still be the same I hope you forgive Me for all the times that you had tried To help me to live I know I’ve been wrong But it’s taken me forever to accept That I’m not strong But if it wasn’t for the time to say Thank you For seven years to blame We could stand here looking backwards But that would be a shame seven years to blame We could stand here looking backwards But we’d still be the same ​ “So long”…I wait for you to say “So long”…been waiting every day “So long”…you can walk away Cuz you know that you want to say “Thank you”… For seven years to blame We could stand here looking backwards But that would be a shame seven years to blame We could stand here looking backwards But we’d still be the same ​ 3. Never the bride Where should you run now? Where should you hide? At the shotgun wedding The only one armed is the bride she knows what she’s up against It’s you She knows we all want the best So on cue ​ Always the bride’s maid Never the bride You had it all once when Before you lost sight Where should you run now? Where should you hide? The tears are all dried from Before when you cried You know what you’re up against It’s you You say you still want the best So on cue ​ Always the bride’s maid Never the bride You say you’re happy for both of them But deep down inside It should be you up there All dressed in white You had it all once when Before you lost sight Always thinking ‘bout yourself Always thinking ‘bout yourself ​ Always the bride’s maid Never the bride You say you’re happy for both of them But deep down inside It should be you up there All dressed in white You had it all once when Before you lost sight 4. Raised Questions Nodding your head while looking down Everyone else is important now What’s the world to do when no one’s looking out? I miss the days when there was no doubt and we could just talk for days And we could both count the ways That we would be amazed With questions that we raised Looking back up but I don’t know why Always the one with an alibi If I bring it up, then I’m the bad guy But I think this is worth saving if we try and we could just talk for days And we could both count the ways That we would be amazed With questions that we raised ​ 5. Takeaway Featuring Dallas Riffle and Scott Paris Who we’ve met Where we’ve been What we’ve done No one could ever understand But it’s just for us What we’ve seen Why we dream Trash the scene Just because we can But it’s still just for us no one could ever take that away No one could ever take that away (DALLAS) Just for fun Let’s play dumb Play possum And see how everyone else reacts We can fool them all Let’s just say If we play The same old game Where only we have the facts We can still fool them all no one could ever take that away No one could ever take that away Take away What we’d say To make everyone happy What’s at stake Could just break And end up badly (SCOTT) up till now Not allowed To take a bow For everything that we’ve done That’s ok with me Cuz until that time We’ll try to find A lifetime To not be the forgotten sons That’s ok with me no one could ever take that away No one could ever take that away ​ 6. No one is to blame (Howard Jones Cover) You can look at the menu, but you just can't eat You can feel the cushion, but you can't have a seat You can dip your foot in the pool, but you can't have a swim You can feel the punishment, but you can't commit the sin And you want her, and she wants you We want everyone And you want her and she wants you No one, no one, no one ever is to blame You can build a mansion, but you just can't live in You're the fastest runner but you're not allowed to win Some break the rules, and live you cut the cost The insecurity is the thing that won't get lost And you want her, and she wants you We want everyone And you want her and she wants you No one, no one, no one ever is to blame You can see the summit but you just can't reach it It's the last piece of the puzzle but you can't make it fit Doctor says you're cured but you still feel the pain Aspirations in the clouds but your hopes go down the drain And you want her, and she wants you We want everyone And you want her and she wants you No one, no one, no one ever is to blame No one ever is to blame No one ever is to blame ​ 7. Webs… How many times before you tried? Before you realized it was a waste of time The many crimes…you swore…you lied The whore advised the aftertaste of mine but you looked into her eyes And she caught you like a fly And she trapped you in her web Never to be heard from again Under the thumb of something more Not needing to escape to foreign lands Wonder the sum, the final score Misleading with the shape of where we stand but you looked into her eyes And she caught you like a fly And she trapped you in her web Never to be heard from again But the widow, she’s not black And there’s no looking back And now you’re too far gone Caught up in the web she spun but you looked into her eyes And she caught you like a fly And she trapped you in her web Never to be heard from again ​ 7. …destiny If you find that you’re trapped Open the door If you cannot adapt Try once more Your life has been mapped All out before Before Before Before I have to tell you honestly If you believe in destiny You might not like just what you see But you see If you find out that you Can’t take any more You still have time You know that’s for sure And it’s not a crime If you ask for more For more For more For more I have to tell you honestly If you believe in destiny You might not like just what you see But you see I have to tell you honestly If you believe in destiny You might not like just what you see But you see ​ 9.

King The pope is a lion Even though he may be lying The queen is in mourning Since yesterday morning we see the trouble we’ve all been through I have seen it, so have you Sometimes I want to be king Just for something to do If I was king, then I could take control of you Sometimes I want to be king Just for something to do If I was king, then I could take control of you Black and blue Bruises on you You shouldn’t tell I confess You’re a princess we see the trouble we’ve all been through I have seen it, so have you Sometimes I want to be king Just for something to do If I was king, then I would take control of you Sometimes I want to be king Just for something to do If I was king, then I would take control of you You and I Cannot fight You’re the queen and I’m the king In you I must confide Sometimes I want to be king Just for something to do If I was king, then I would take control of you Sometimes I want to be king Just for something to do If I was king, then I would take…I could take control of you Sometimes I want to be king King I could take…I would take control of you Sometimes I want to be king King I could take control of you ​ 11. Look with your eyes You’re saving all your pennies But you can’t take them with you You try your damndest anyhow But you can’t take them with you Earned from the sweat you wiped off of your brow But you can’t take them with you Pride’s the sin that still will make you proud But you can’t take them with you it would be so easy ​ Look with your eyes Not with your hands It would be wise For you to understand Look with your eyes Not with your hands It won’t hurt to try To lend a helping hand You’ve been watching what they’re telling you But they’re just entertainment With the advertisement follow-through But they’re just entertainment When your dividends start to accrue You’ll forget just what they meant Cuz it’s for you and you know ONLY YOU Know just how to spend it But it would be so easy Look with your eyes Not with your hands It would be wise For you to understand Look with your eyes Not with your hands It can’t hurt to try To lend a helping hand To lend a helping hand To lend a helping hand To lend a helping hand To lend a helping hand

    1. Moonshine The shadow of the pen You see it crosses the page And meets with the edge of the paper Now ripe with age And what does it say to you? And what could it mean to you? It tells of a trek A hearty voyage That releases the unknown Locked out courage And what does it say to you? And what could it mean to you? ​ Does it shine for you? Is it blinding you? Is it a one of a kind for you? Or do you just skip ahead? To what you got was it all for all, or all for not? And what could I say to you? To make something mean something to you? And could it shine for you Could it be mine for you A one of a kind for you Or would you just turn the page? ​ 2. Hello to goodbye You looked so good tonight No one can take that from me Except maybe Father Time What a bastard he can be Because when you were young And when you were dumb it all came easily So now what do you do When getting what you choose seems to leave? But everyone’s gotta’ have a backup plan And no love could cuff, no love could cuff These two hands So goodbye to smiles Hello to goodbyes and miles Cuz these eyes don’t lie Hello to goodbye And you made me laugh tonight So hard I can’t breathe and if it’s the lasting times That you had with me Could make you say You appreciate Everything that is me So now what do you do When I’m still so confused I’m sorry But what happens when I don’t understand When you hate yourself so much That you can’t be a man ​ So goodbye to smiles Hello to goodbyes and miles Cuz these eyes don’t lie Hello to goodbye ​ Cuz no one will know Above or below How hard it is Just to go But if I don’t leave It’s the end of me And you know So goodbye to smiles Hello to goodbyes and miles Cuz these eyes don’t lie Hello to goodbye ​ 3. Farewell to old friends What could I say to make you believe in me? What could I say to make you NOT leave But it just happened again And I can’t prevent my own end So long clarity So long charity hello…goodbye…sobriety What could I do to just repay you? What could I do to just have some faith in you? But it just happens again And I can’t prevent my own end So long clarity So long charity hello…goodbye…sobriety 4. Thank you for you Johnny was a son of a banker Sometimes I’m a son of a bitch Who knows what Johnny really wanted I’d give a lot just to know what makes him tick But all I just want to know Is why he did it all for me And I know it’s hard to show But all I really want is to see what did you want to be when you grew up just like me? President, astronaut, fireman…any of these? Because when I asked it, you had no answer for me I just hope what you wanted worked out, cuz it did for me So thank you for you So now I’m a son of a banker I’m still just a son of a bitch..sometimes Who knows what I want now That’s what the question really is And all I just want to know Is if I do it all for me And I know it’s hard to show But all I really want is to say What did you want to be when you grew up just like me? Ball player, actor, teacher…any of these? Because when I asked it you had no answer for me I just hope what you wanted worked out, cuz it did for me So thank you for you ​ 5. Cancervive Being with me is a privilege, not a right If you don’t trust anyone, you can’t survive It’s kind of nice to still need someone For that smallest something But I don’t need you souvenirs and I don’t care anything About your deepest fears Cuz love’s the only four letter word that I won’t say So up until then, I’ll just be forced to say I’m sorry…But I can’t survive Falling tall just seems to be the hardest thing to do But you need me more than I need you But I’m only saving up for my own funeral But there’s no “fun” in funeral… Maybe there is Cuz love’s the only four letter word that I won’t say So up until then, I’ll just be forced to say I’m sorry…But I can’t survive If you wished you’d never be hurt, you’d never learn anything again But I warned you from the start to guard your heart Cuz I can’t survive 6. Thinking Big Where do you get off? Feeling the way you do Where do you get off? Havin’ that attitude If you want to attract success You’ll have to get it all off your chest 2 steps forward and 3 steps back Turn around if you prefer I’ll take 2 steps forward, you take 3 steps back Take 4 steps back to where you were How do you get turned on? If you turn on at all? Maybe if I sang a song You’d stop shutting up and talk But if you’re scared of showing it all There’s no sense in getting up at all 2 steps forward and 3 steps back Turn around if you prefer I’ll take 2 steps forward, you take 3 steps back Take 4 steps back to where you were 2 steps forward and 3 steps back Turn around if you prefer I’ll take 2 steps forward, you take 3 steps back Take 4 steps back to where you were 7.

No Such Thing So you think you know the secrets of all the unknown Well, I think you’re wrong ​ Kill all that you’ve learned Kill all that you’ve burned ​ There’s no such thing As loving Someone with “all your heart’ So you think you know the secrets to the seeds we sow Well, I think you ‘re wrong again So you think you know the signs but when you stop, I go Because you’re wrong again Kill all that you’ve learned Kill all that you’ve burned ​ There’s no such thing As loving Someone with “all your heart’ But still you talk yourself into believing ​ There’s no such thing As loving Someone with “all your heart’ ​ 9. You might just think Just feeling that one thing Could make you turn right back again And though you might just think That you can’t start from the end I know it’s inside me Just need some help to pull it out And though you might just think That it’s too late for me now read my lips It’s not a gift from God, a gift from up above Read my wrists Don’t need a lift, a nod, or any reassurance ​ Cuz I’ve got what I’ve got And you are who I am not And I know what I know That this is heaven don’t go searching anymore Just seeing that one thing Could make you change all your beliefs And though you might just think That it’s so easy being me But I’ll tell you just one thing I’m tryin’ hard to understand And though you might just think It’s what it takes to be a man ​ Cuz I’ve got what I’ve got And you are who I am not And I know what I know That this is heaven don’t go searching anymore You might just think You know it all you’re sitting still While I’m standing tall You can’t see heaven Right before your eyes What you might think May be a big surprise ​ Cuz I’ve got what I’ve got And you are who I am not And I know what I know That this is heaven don’t go searching, don’t go searching anymore ​ 10. Bluewater It seemed just like it was a yesterday We’d wake up real late and look out at the waves And we’d dream that we could keep that moment there With deep breath, a shrug, a nod and only one care before we even knew The week had gone too soon So close your eyes again And let me take you back The sun would always know just when to sneak A ray or two on through the drapes with a peek And push the cobwebs from your eyes Out on the deck with a new day, a new surprise before we even knew The week had gone too soon So close your eyes again And let me take you back ​ I don’t ever want to come home The sun, the sand and I am having A conversation so leave us alone Leave us alone ​ before we even knew The week had gone too soon So close your eyes again And let me take, let me take you back ​ I don’t ever want to come home The sun, the sand, and I am having A conversation so leave us alone Leave us alone ​ 11. Real Estate You bought the bed and she made it She’s in your head and you hate it and you say “I don’t make a living, I’m just trying to live” A mistake is simply not forgiven But what you took is what I’d give All you had to do is not do what you did Cuz I’d rather be fooled by someone new Than to be fucked over again by you Really, how far can the apple fall? Lookin’ up, look out from the inside… You know the worm has seen it all and you say “I don’t make a living, I’m just trying to live” A mistake is simply not forgiven But what you took is what I’d give And he says “I don’t make a living…I’m just saving up” What you take is still not forgiven and probably never could I’m been curled up down here to get warm up there And I ask myself who develops the developers’ developments Is there just an empty place in the heart of those who were kind enough to care Is your heart for sale? I don’t make a living, I’m just trying to live A mistake is simply not forgiven But what you took is what I’d give And he says “I don’t make a living…I’m just saving up” What you take is still not forgiven and probably never could ​ 12. Sunshine And I never want to be a kid again But I don’t want to ever grow up And if I really said what I really meant There’d be no one here to pick it all up where did they go? where did they go? where did they go? They all did what they’re told where did they go? where did they go? where did they go? Who knows? And everywhere is a nice place to visit, yeah And the feeling of leaving, leaves me reeling, yeah For the next trip back if there is even one, yeah But I only want to see the sun, yeah where did it go? It’s just playing possum where did it go? where did it go? where did it go? No one knows No one knows…
  • Chris Donley-First Person Point of View (2007)
    First Person Point of View (2007) ​ 1. The Colonel (For Justina) Have you ever known real value? Has your face ever hurt from smiling? You know I have know real value So ignore me now if I’m crying *And I could of sworn if was you on the phone tonight Are you calling just to check on us down here? Was it a call to wake me out of my sleep tonight Are you helping me to see things way more clear? $Are you telling me I should keep an eye out? Are you smiling? Always smiling with your arm out? Throwing cards, aiming hard, go pick it U P I’ve been thinking that you’re viewing since the phone rang Is it nice where you are? Or are you here in our hearts? Have you seen me try to act hard? Tell me am I throwing away my card? *repeat $repeat Since that day I’ve been finding more Lincolns Is it you that’s been placing them there? But my head still hurts from thinking Maybe soon I’ll throw cards with you up there *repeat We miss you ​ 2. Dandelion One minute everything goes your way The next you’re forced to say to yourself Where is it that I went wrong? Can I retrace my steps or am I too far along? Too far along and I don’t belong Too far along *I wish there was a way that I could Change the word so you wouldn’t believe what I’d say From that minute the other day I somehow planted a weed, not a seed in your brain Now it’s taking root and it will consume every thought from you Because that’s just what I’d do It’s what I’d do But not to you *repeat I wish there was a way Now I’m taking root *repeat 3. Hold One hand washes the other On the other hand, you know it’s just like any other A back hand, a hand to hold, to hold the knife in On the other hand, it ends the life you had to begin with *no longer will I hold, hold you down No longer will I hold, what I’ve found No longer will I hold, hold you down As my fingers cross behind my back now One hand claps but sees the other silent On the other hand, it just sits there and covers ears for silence I’ll give you a hand as soon as the sign is lit for applause On the other hand, both hands come equipped with the sharpest claws *repeat *repeat ​ 4. Passion vs. Reason Passion still takes the place of reason My passion makes decisions, decisions made for all the reasons If only there was a scandal that would make me hard handle, I would Because if all of this was easy, you’d applaud just to please me if you could *but your hands are all tied and your tear ducts all dried You tell me you tried, but deep down you still lied For once I’m all alone in this place that’s not a home Where are you now? Do you really know what it means to be truly sad? I’d ask you about happiness but I know you know nothin’ ‘bout that Does makeup and blush make the real you hush when I say That I need to know the truth, the essence that is you kept away ​ *repeat $I need to concentrate on me It’s women, I know but it’s something I need You tell the truth when you’re drunk but not to me Define for me, your life…Because I need…Because I need…Because I need… Because I need… *repeat $repeat ​ 5. Sleepwalkers Only people who are awake Will be the ones to communicate And the people who are asleep Will be the ones that are envied *are you one of them? Are you one of them? Are you one of them? And if you are, will you be Able to reel ‘em in? With the bait that’s attention And will they relate to you? Like so many claim to do *repeat $Able to sleep at night? *repeat $Repeat 6. Hide and seek (Featuring Scott Paris) Where did everyone go? Where did everyone go? Why was I the last to know? Where did everyone go? *And why am I still trying To make everything work out? And why am I still trying? Won’t someone please just shut my mouth? Where did everyone go? Where did everyone go? Why was I the last the know? Where did everyone go? *repeat $And I’m still wondering why am I still here alone? And I’m still wondering where did everyone go? Where did everyone go? Where did everyone go? Why was I the last to know? Where did everyone go? $Repeat ​ 7. From me to you It’s all you took from me You gave that look to me But took it back from me I gave it in to you *what made you think that we could Last cuz you know we’re no good So here’s a card…from me Don’t think too hard…to you Meant what I said…from me Easily read…to you *repeat $From me to you We met too soon And you know it’s true From me to you In my words You deserve much better You took it all…from me I gave it all…to you So give it back…from me And here are the words…to you $Repeat ​ 8. I’m sorry…I don’t love you Do I love you? Let me count the ways I’ll tell you the answer But you’ll be amazed *cuz how could anyone not love you? I don’t know why How could anyone not love you? And why is it this guy? Do I love you? Let me count the ways Two letter word answer That’s not so easy to say *repeat $I’m sorry that I don’t love you Do I love you? Let me ignore the ways When I was above you I never heard you say How could anyone not love me? I don’t know why How could anyone not love me? I don’t know why $I’m sorry that I don’t love you ​ 9. Sellout ​ There’s too many steps to take Just push the button to the top At the top floor there’s hands to shake And then you’ll have to stop Creating what you live for Because now they know what to expect Dilating as you’re looking for the whore As you cash in your paycheck *thank you for everything $Now I know Yes, now I know why so many throw it away That’s why the smiles were faked Because they know deep down inside The years and trials would break Their backs but at least they tried Until they reached the point Of cutting corners for everyone of you But still each one of them knew That that day would come too soon Thank you for everything $Repeat You thought that you might miss your chance You wanted to lead, but if all else fails You at least wanted to dance $Repeat 10. Veins What conclusion do I compare confusion with What emotion do I create to cause commotion within? All the smallest cliques that I don’t fit in at all That’s okay…Because I have sin *and I think I have you all…again $But still you think you know me Still you have to show me With just words and action And give me satisfaction What direction should I take to avoid infection And if infected would you be there to sterilize my wound Cuz it’s been healed up shut for years to come…it’s stitches worn away Dissolved to nothing…though it’s nothing that was there anyway *and I think I have you all…again $Repeat So now what road to travel to make my life unravel more? Pick which exit I should I take to keep infection away And what to do if it follows through? Keep on lookin’ ahead Until I reach no more…end of road is born…dead end And I think I lost you all…again But still you thought you knew me You could see right through me All my words and action Gave no satisfaction ​ 11. Lost and Found Red ink makes you think how love is so cheap I’ve tried to cry myself to sleep I dozed right through the years you said were right She knows just how to live her life *Or so she claims The smiles faded away Lost and never found, there’s no one around Turn it upside down Red ink bleeds like me My ears…we heard everything My eyes had to see the truth Fake tears was the proof she needed…she needed *repeat Just ask me if I dove in too deep Because there’s no need to worry about me *Or so she claims The smiles faded away Lost and never found, there’s no one else around Turn it upside down 12. Hands I see you having a hard time Just keeping your head on straight I see you’re having a good time It just happens it’s way too late I see you’re having a rough time Seems that it’s hard to fake I see you’re having a great time Too bad it’s without me *and though you want to And though you need to And though you want to I still see… I see you’re struggling with time When it’s apart from me I see you keep dragging out time Just when you need to be I see you ignoring your time And just wanting time with me I see you disrupting all time Just when it’s getting hard to sleep *and though you want to And though you need to And though you want to I still see… $When it’s time to say goodbye It’s not as easy as the first time It’s not as easy as the last time It’s not as easy so goodbye I’ll see you in no time If that means turning back the hand We’ll change all the bad times If only you’d understand The happy and sad times Were few and far between I’ll just let it be my time If only it were that easy *and though you want to And though you need to And though you want to I still see… $When it’s time to say goodbye It’s not as easy as the first time It’s not as easy as the last time It’s not as easy so goodbye ​ 13. I told you so…

I’m just a cowboy riding into someone’s no-horse town I’m just the fingers left to crack from all your hand-me-downs I’m just the prince in all your fine prints glossy magazines I’m just the farmer who got swindled for some magic beans remember when death was entertainment for us yesterday? I’m yesterday and though it’s noble for you to say it’s past the point of global…and things will never change remember when death was entertainment for us yesterday? I’m yesterday ​ Every Generation Got It’s Own Disease (originally by Fury in the Slaughterhouse…additional lyrics by Chris Donley lyrics reprinted with permission) the more we take, the less we give that’s the modern way to live someone says “live fast, die young but the time runs always faster, son diseases come, diseases go welcome to the final show let’s shake hands with plastic gloves and watch out for the last white doves and believe me baby every generation got it’s own disease I’ve got mine so help me please think that’ I’m too young to die loved that world, so we say goodbye change the staff, pollute the air dismiss the doctors, just use prayer use the best words, keep talkin’ tough when will we say enough’s enough? and believe me baby every generation got it’s own disease I’ve got mine so help me please ​ Missing Music by Cole Martinez Lyrics by Chris Donley I looked up a the sky today could’ve sworn I heard you say “Come on up, it’s time to play… what do you have better to do?” I think I’ll maybe I think I’ll maybe stay give me just one more lifetime to try finally on the right line this time, but thanks for the sign I’m feeling good I’m feeling fine thanks for the invitation it really meant a lot to me save me the reservation at least I rsvp’d I think I’ll maybe I think I’ll maybe stay give me just one more lifetime to try finally on the right line this time, but thanks for the sign you know I’ve been missing you for some time give me just one more lifetime to try finally on the right line this time, but thanks for the sign

    1. Time to heal life Unless we learn things, there’s no point in moving on Listen to the dull drums in the doldrums from now on Nothing’s gonna’ keep you safe from hate that’s uninformed Mobilize and plant the mines in minds that don’t conform An eye for an eye leaves everyone blind “Take no prisoners alive” An eye for an eye leaves everyone blind Tell the time to heal life Fear is the enemy of progress never seen When warlords will write the script And hide behind the screen To pacify the “patriots”, they’ll plan in secrecy Learning from the history to not learn history An eye for an eye leaves everyone blind “Take no prisoners alive” An eye for an eye leaves everyone blind Tell the time to heal life If hate is like fire, you’ll burn with your own But I’m fighting with love, even if I’m alone So pack up your guns...fun for everyone Conquer the compassion...with guided bombs Now you’ll see the misery Your invasion...“liberation” can’t be undone When no one has won Can’t you see your own strings Held by kings that don’t want peace? An eye for an eye leaves everyone blind “Take no prisoners alive” An eye for an eye leaves everyone blind Tell the time to heal life Time is on my side 2.

Tongue Tied Music and Lyrics: Donley I don’t want to waste all my good words on this and all of my “thought-provoking” lines of shit I can only say the word “I” so many repeated and pointless times I’ve been trippin’ for too long because my shoes aren’t tied it’s such a shame to all of you that I am not tongue tied The only reason that I’m not saying more is the simple fact that any cleanliness will distort and burn the ears of all of those who can’t hold their tongue and spark more interest in the fitness of exercise to some…shut your mouth if you all think that talking smack will lead the attack and maneuver all your pawns for the final strike against just us and this overbite of words I can only say the word “I” so many repeated and pointless times I’ve been trippin’ for too long because my shoes aren’t tied it’s such a shame to all of you that I am not tongue tied I can only say the word “I” so many repeated and pointless times I’ve been trippin’ for too long because my shoes aren’t tied it’s such a shame to all of you that I am not tongue tied 3. Team to the top Music and lyrics: Donley So sick and tired of being sick and tired I should be grateful if I’m actually admired Show me the irony when I reach the farthest feat Glad to see you go, put out your hand to meet You know it’s all I want The want, the need, the need to want And when I reach it, I’ll still be unsatisfied To finally reach that point Who’s feet to wash, who to anoint? Will we have to sign our dotted lives away? So sick and tired of being sick and tired Show me the hidden ones, the teams that co-inspire They say it’s apathy, but what they say is what they don’t see Come join the flock of all the wolves dressed up in clothes of sheep You know it’s all I want The want, the need, the need to want And when I reach it, I’ll still be unsatisfied To finally reach that point Who’s feet to wash, who to anoint? Will we have to sign our dotted lives away? So now I see who wants on the winning team You wouldn’t believe how relieved I am Because they all said it can’t be done It’s one for all and all for one I’m so glad to see Snuff out the stars Collect the dust Crush all the minds That matter to us Keep up your guards That keep back the stars Because they speak the truth Mind your own affairs that have nothing to do with me Nothing to do with me… You know it’s all I want The want, the need, the need to want And when I reach it, I’ll still be unsatisfied To finally reach that point Who’s feet to wash, who to anoint? Will we have to sign our dotted lives away? So now I see who wants on the winning team You wouldn’t believe how relieved I am Because they all said it can’t be done It’s one for all and all for one I’m so glad to see I’m so glad to see Snuff out the stars Collect the dust Crush all the minds That matter to us Keep up your guards That keep back the stars Because they speak the truth Mind your own affairs that have nothing to do with me ​ 4. Sucking the inspiration Music and lyrics: Donley If I attempt to write something from my heart will believe? If I still find that I cannot give but just receive will you walk me through steps, steps that will show me the way and hope this world that you’ve shown will help me see another day but what do I do if it’s wrong? Do I cover up with another song? Cuz my heart has no cornerstone I guess I’ll build the foundation alone the bloodsucker sticks it’s big nose in and tries to steal the inspiration the bloodsucker sticks it’s big nose in in my vein, in my brain no more sucking my inspiration Let me see the flatline…go on run across the screen the beauty of the color…of the line that’s colored green please go on and go through all the plans I’ve laid for you just follow what I say, I doing this for all of you but what do I do if it’s wrong? Do I cover up with another song? Cuz my heart has no cornerstone I guess I’ll build the foundation alone the bloodsucker sticks it’s big nose in and tries to steal the inspiration the bloodsucker sticks it’s big nose in in my vein, in my brain no more sucking my inspiration Obey and dissolve any thoughts of your own kill your company so that you’re all alone because solitude puts you in the mood and that’s all you need…but all mosquitos have pain libidos and have x-ray vision to make them bleed bloodsucker, no more sucking my inspiration no more sucking my inspiration 5. Solilquey Music and lyrics: Donley Can I have all your attention please? As the playwright writes in acts with subplots we call “scenes” and conflict for good play is something we need so bear with me on my soliloquey the playwright works alone point of attack is where plot begins to unfold, if not performed play closet drama objection…no dialogue Hi pro and an tag onist now you’re it good guy, bad guy; who knows the crisis? the idea is germinal to make life unfold right the right is terminal and confined by time the playwright works alone point of attack is where plot begins to unfold, if not performed play, closet drama objection…no dialogue the play can seem to start anywhere turning point depends on your character exposition can be andled in monologue and phone calls that are written but the playwright works alone performed play, closet drama objection…no dialogue ​ 6. So is love Music and lyrics: Donley Have you ever wondered why?

Ghosts (Music and lyrics: Donley) The ghosts of the day wear me out So the demons at night Can control my moves and drop me down From the shortest heights What right do we have to sit on his scented gift? I’m lying, it’s not what’s really there…it’s love But no one seems to care, either that or they care Too much to understand what they are saying… Overuse of any tool makes it so passe’ You’ve been foolin’, playin’ it cool and The tattoo says it all The tattoo says it all *I’ll just hide behind distortion Why the fuck not? The truth is distorted *I’ll just hide behind distortion Why the fuck not? The truth is distorted anyway You’ve keep haunting me The ghosts of the day lead the way So the demons at night can go out and play And not have to bother with Or go and recruit more ghosts and demons for me *I’ll just hide behind distortion Why the fuck not? The truth is distorted *I’ll just hide behind distortion Why the fuck not? The truth is distorted anyway 7. Heartache Lottery Music and lyrics: Donley Do you think money grows on trees?

Look up to see who pulls my strings I’ll plug my ears but they still ring Remember and reminisce About how you knew me and leave me a kiss Who are you to kill my heart? We’ll still be kissing When I’m gone We’ll still be kissing I’m gone I’m gone I’m gone I’m gone Who are you to kill my heart? We’ll still be kissing When I’m gone We’ll still be kissing ​ 3. Fangs Music and lyrics: Donley I can leave now I want to leave now I realize I’ll be letting history repeat I dug my own trench now it’s way too deep If I leave now Will I find out how What’s to find Or what’s been found Don’t want to think about it I just want to drink about it And wash it all away Can I steal what all the rest have to say Maybe then I’ll sell out But I just want to pay to play It’s all those little things that count If I leave now Will I find out how What’s to find Or what’s been found Don’t want to think about it I just want to drink about it And wash it all away It’s just you, you, you See things in a different way Silk little dragon With lips and fangs I can rot now… 4. Magic (Music and lyrics: Donley) Why am I here with burned out wick? Saw my heart in half unless you know a better trick Maybe a trick where the secret’s not revealed You know how it’s done but still you keep in concealed *So what exactly is the secret to love? I thought I’d grasped it but now I’m not sure enough Will it cause more pain and loss than needed pleasure? So now weigh my heart, is it too far gone to measure? So keep me in a mood where frowns don’t dare collide With the smiles they’re covered with loose dirt inside And pull the sheet back to see where all the secrets hide I’ll know if you know my trick by degree of your sigh *So what exactly is the secret to love? I thought I’d grasped it but now I’m not sure enough Will it cause more pain and loss than needed pleasure? So now weigh my heart, is it too far gone to measure? Just hide Just hide the sighs inside So why are you here? Pity makes me sick Entertain, I will…Tell me if you know my trick… Because it’s sure to enthrall…edges of seats; now be warmed Because the secret’s still deep even when you perform *So what exactly is the secret to love? I thought I’d grasped it but now I’m not sure enough Will it cause more pain and loss than needed pleasure? So now weigh my heart, is it too far gone to measure? Just hide Just hide the sighs inside ​ 5. Me Time Music and lyrics: Donley So if I care about you then tell me why There’s still a fear about you… and I know why To tell the truth for now will make me lie But it’s easy for someone else to say goodbye *Everything I did, I did for me and only me I know I can’t rely on anyone of you Talk myself back in the frame of mind that I’m conditioned to Maybe if you saw my side you would feel it too But I did my part, yeah I tried…But always fail for you *Everything I did, I did for me and only me What’s mine is yours What’s yours is yours *Everything I did, I did for me and only me 6. Nameless Music and lyrics: Donley Can we wash away all of our father’s mistakes Though they didn’t make any of them in vain Can we erase the fact that they gave up their dreams For you and me and give anything…I please I owe you, how to show you I care You did the same…but I don’t wanna’ wait til it’s too late I don’t wanna’ wait til it’s too late I don’t wanna’ wait Let me wash away Don’t you give up all your dreams Just sit in my place There’s got to be part of you That wants to be me You don’t have to say That you’re proud of me Cuz there’s no need Cuz I can already see I owe you, how to show you I care You did the same…but I don’t wanna’ wait til it’s too late I don’t wanna’ wait til it’s too late I don’t wanna’ wait No, you can’t go on Doing what you’re told No, you can’t go on Doing what you’re told Still I wait for you to come on out Of your shell Take your time, but not too much time And I’ll wait for you Let me take the place of you when you were face to face With the situation that I’m now in Let me do the work to prove it I’ll give anything I please… No, you can’t go on Doing what you’re told No, you can’t go on Doing what you’re told 7. Sunset Fell Music and lyrics: Donley What would you do if I told you the sunset fell? Anything to keep eyes closed, though the canvas is painted well Cuz first there was me; you told me how I should’ve felt Express and feel the things that are real, I think I’ll keep to myself It’s not fate; what it has in store for us, but what we do with it when it comes So leave no cloud overturned…and no untouched stone Were my tongue locked in fear, I would not even be caught dead here Cuz then there was you and everything was grand Too bad your love is in the grasp of someone else’s hand Right from the gates, I could tell That no matter how high the skies will rise…my sunset fell Because there’s no turning back Despite all the lack of us that never was I’ll just take whatever comes my way But still I wonder what would you say What circumstance would bring another chance To splash back on the one that knelt And tell me why my sunset fell Because now there is no “us” I wonder if it was worth it at all Just wash the colors out of the brush And let the sunset fall Cuz there’s no sense of putting things back up Where you know they don’t belong And you are the “disaster piece” I left to fall Because there’s no turning back Despite all the lack of us that never was I’ll just take whatever comes my way My sunset fell ​ 8. Lazy Music and lyrics: Donley I think I’ll just pop some pills I wish I would feel more ills Just fuel the fool Cuz I fuckin’ made you Let’s about love, let’s talk about murder…of me I itch too much, you bitch too much…I’ll be appeased for awhile Cuz rejection’s just another bullet in my chamber of life Which one of you wants a free ride? It sure looks nice but what’s on the inside If and when I come on back, I hope I fly and never come back It’s just like he said “I’m not afraid to die, I’m just scared…of going to hell” Put your quarter in the slot Because morality is shot The higher you get, the lower you got enough of the play by play, the blow by blow It pays me to be lazy, don’t you know It’s not deemed surreal in your eyes With biases aside Because I wanted you more when I needed you less I want the back so x3 I can keep an eye on you Rely on a witness, because slug lines are the truth And I should be heard and not seen I just hope I don’t get caught This pillar of salt was never my fault So put your quarter in the slot Because morality is shot The higher you get, the lower you got Tell me the difference between passion and compassion If you gather what’s the matter, you’ll understand Because religion is sex and sex is merely religion to you… Lazy Put your quarter in the slot Put your quarter in the slot ​ 9. I shadow Music and lyrics: Donley I shadow you wherever you may go Though I can’t watch grow I shadow you You shadow me I shadow you Because I have seen All the pain in the world Won’t stay for long Will it all remain when we’re dead and gone? I shadow you You shadow me I shadow you Because I have seen I shadow you I shadow you You shadow me I shadow you Because I have seen ​ 10. Anyway you choose Music: Donley/Leavitt Lyrics: Donley I know that you can be anything Just as long as it doesn’t involve me Incessant, anti depressant, I need some sleep But you…you will always be *Anything you want But you can’t fool Anyone, not anyone Except for you You’ll will win in your own eyes Even when you lose Just as long as you will have it Anyway you choose Do you dreams? Do they still tell the truth? Or are they just a simple dissolver of youth Hold me, your mercy is more than I deserve So don’t try to sell me all your fake concern And you will be *Anything you want But you can’t fool Anyone, not anyone Except for you You’ll will win in your own eyes Even when you lose Just as long as you will have it Anyway you choose And so what, if you have “Friends” I’ve got something better waiting Just waiting when… The time is right, the moon is full and you will see That I don’t want you, I don’t need you… And you will be *Anything you want But you can’t fool Anyone, not anyone Except for you You’ll will win in your own eyes Even when you lose Just as long as you will have it Anyway you choose Selfish, selfish, selfish me Where are the manners that you taught me? Face it cuz I’m gonna’ lose Just as long as you will have it anyway you choose But would you, would you spit on my grave? And if I’m gone, will you now behave There are many forms of “love” It’s just that none of them are ever gonna’ be enough for me And you will be *Anything you want But you can’t fool Anyone, not anyone Except for you You’ll will win in your own eyes Even when you lose Just as long as you will have it Anyway you choose Selfish, selfish, selfish me Where are the manners that you taught me? Face it cuz I’m gonna’ lose Just as long as you will have it anyway you choose I know that you can be anything Just as long as it doesn’t involve me Incessant, anti depressant, I need some sleep But you…you will always be ​ 11. Like a pig Music and lyrics: Donley Everyone acts here and there if you didn’t, face it; you’d be nowhere Sweetest Eve cover up with a leaf from a fig Sweetest Eve you have always been my Pig You are my pig You are my pig Now and only now Then and only then Will we truly be free of our dusty sins Some say though The guilty always win Now and then… And you’re guilty Just whisper to me And tell me that we Should always be Like pigs Pig You are my pig You are my pig Now and only now Then and only then Will we truly be free of our dusty sins Some say though The guilty always win Now and then… And you’re guilty Now and only now Then and only then Will we truly be free of our dusty sins Some say though The guilty always win Now and then… And you’re guilty 12. Flying Colors Music and lyrics: Donley I’ll want you fearless of what’s to come No sense of worth is needed Because he had no room in his own tomb Look in the window of all mistreated She has taken up her position To take what it is that can’t be taken…not today I don’t need to be political, satirical, theatrical or responsible I just have to bleed My thoughts of the world that I have seen She has taken up her defensive position When it comes, you’ll be in awe You’ll feel it too, it’s like no other For once your pride will all shine through With flying colors I’ll lay it on the line I laid it on the line Just tell me I passed And let me colors fly ​ 13. The Voice Music and Lyrics: Donley Can’t we think about this? I know you always jump through the right hoops But I’m trained by you Can’t we talk about this? Is this what you really want from me? I feel buried…I’m not happy Sing with me To show that you love me I need my notes To determine how to bleed my throat I do it for you…all of you Be my love Be my strength Cuz I want you to sink in me That’s how it’s supposed to be Sing with me To show that you love me Sing with me To show that you love me 14. Chris, Tom, and Rylan 15. Kiss of the napalm Music and lyrics: Donley Look at the clouds, they’re rolling in so fast Look at the crowds, they’re knowing who will last Look if you can see the evidence in me If I love you all, will no one break my heart Have none of you seen the change in me Have I not been gone long enough to be missed? Is it cold in your heart too? Could I be the heat If I come back with my napalm Could I warm you with a kiss If this is all a joke would you still tell me the punchline So I still don’t feel out of place in this town of cliques And let me join your club only to find out I cannot love Because you have to love yourself until you can love others Have none of you seen the change in me Have I not been gone long enough to be missed? Is it cold in your heart too? Could I be the heat If I come back with my napalm Could I warm you with a kiss Until you find your own warmth inside I won’t mind, if I see you trying Just so I, I’m not the one that’s leading You know I’ll always be the one that’s bleeding If I’ve shown all sides of every story ever told Would you mark the page or phrase that touched you the most? And I’m still not through playing the role of you So when I’m through, I’ll let you know so together our cloud will grow Have none of you seen the change in me Have I not been gone long enough to be missed? Is it cold in your heart too? Could I be the heat If I come back with my napalm Could I warm you with a kiss Until you find your own warmth inside I won’t mind, if I see you trying Just so I, I’m not the one that’s leading You know I’ll always be the one that’s bleeding Have none of you seen the change in me Have I not been gone long enough to be missed? Is it cold in your heart too? Could I be the heat If I come back with my napalm Could I warm you with a kiss Until you find your own warmth inside I won’t mind, if I see you trying Just so I, I’m not the one that’s leading You know I’ll always be the one that’s bleeding You…you find your own warmth inside I won’t mind, if I see you trying Just so I, I’m not the one that’s leading You know I’ll always be the one that’s bleeding

    1. Soar (Music and lyrics: Donley) If you let the dust finally settle around my feet I’ll be tied down just long enough for you to break me Siphon the wounds til dry Glue my wrists back together Broken now, pushed to the right When it comes to you I’m even better It’s howling again tonight I’ve talked to too many They told me exactly What I didn’t want to hear That’s why I brought you here *Can’t you see one of us is supposed to be fucked up? Can’t you see one of us is supposed to be fucked Just let me be free I can’t take anymore Just let me be free I’m feeling sore, let me soar Such is the challenge, such is the goal Let the undertow pull me below Since I gave in long ago Just let me soar *Can’t you see one of us is supposed to be fucked up? Can’t you see one of us is supposed to be fucked 2. Progress of the lowly worm (Music and lyrics: Donley) Say it again Just repeat what you know The only problem is That’s all the cells could hold *The progress we need Has taken a back seat Has taken a knee And raised the flag so easily And forget what you learned In days, you lost what you learned To pass on the ‘ledge How proud to sharpen the edge *The progress we need Has taken a back seat Has taken a knee And raised the flag so easily It wasn’t just me And to those who have tried You really wasted your time You could’ve been The start of the slide *The progress we need Has taken a back seat Has taken a knee And raised the flag so easily It wasn’t just me ​ 3. Mother of Pearl (Music and lyrics: Donley) Sweet is the sound Echoing all around Underground Is where I found Mother of pearl Mother of the world Mother of pearl The best place to begin Is right where I ended Though I am torn inside My heart you have mended Mother of pearl Mother of the world Mother of pearl You’re the world to me There’s nothing else, you see You’re the world to me Don’t ever change, I love you Though I don’t know what that word really means Mother of pearl Mother of the world Mother of pearl ​ 4. Sinimin (Music and lyrics: Donley) Don’t you know that you lie Just string it out to last Your fuck machine is running out of gas You really rape me You really take me You really break me I won’t let you in No more lies to fuck with Running into a wall Just find a way around Until you crawl back on down You really rape me You really take me You really break me I won’t let you in To much Sin Im In For me take What’s on my plate What do you want from me? My own misery? You really knew me I lie constantly You really thrill me You really kill me I won’t let you in To much Sin Im In For me take What’s on my plate ​ 5. Question me (Music and lyrics: Donley) Set me a trap Let me hatch all of the eggs Of your diffusion and clap Clap off on me Do you question me? Do you question J.C.? Beg me, selfish On my shelf if you could piss Me away Just to pass the day Do you question me? Do you question J.C.? So easy to ignore the faith That’s a bore And such a chore Use any and every chance to squeak by For lead For lead Nothing compares to questioning me 6. Drift (Music: Donley, Leavitt Lyrics: Donley) I miss you Less than I miss me There’s a crowd, then there’s you, then me, then you Kissing me Certain patterns don’t disguise The given-ups from the real tries I want to be born again Certain patterns don’t disguise They only make me aware of the severed ties I wanna’ talk about love and butteflies But those days will not be re-lived So now I drift away Not able to truly say What should’ve been said So long ago Just take the word of those who know Chase the faithful charm It sure won’t do you harm Spring is finally here and gone Just like all of my favorite songs Certain patterns don’t disguise My mind is frail and ready Ready to unwind Certain patterns don’t disguise They only make me aware of the severed ties I wanna’ talk about love and butteflies But those days will not be lived So now I drift away Not able to truly say What should’ve been said So long ago Just take the word of those who know You don’t need To keep tabs on me I’m out of your hair I’ll soon be gone from here You don’t need To keep tabs on me I miss you Less than I miss “we” The crowd is gone and the vision faded I don’t want to be complicated Certain patterns don’t disguise The mark of my failures to the ones I’ve denied And I have denied Certain patterns don’t disguise They only make me aware of the severed ties Now there’s no more love or butteflies But as of now I’m still alive So now I drift away Not able to truly say What should’ve been said So long ago Just take the word of those who know Certain patterns don’t disguise They only make me aware of the severed ties Now there’s no more love or butteflies But as of now I’m still alive You don’t need To keep tabs on me 7. Your rose (Music and lyrics: Donley) I wish you away Every hour of every day Though be gone you will Your memory’s instilled Inside my head in every crack If you break my spirit, I’ll break you back Does anyone even care Of those of us young Eros spared? To pull the tipped arrow out Will surely was away The hopes presented now To those of us who never wake To see the real Inspire and fell To see the real Inspire There’s no such thing as love I’ve said it all before To those who have it that don’t care Can pass some on to those who need a share But no, the selfish reign On ours, the real “love parade” And those who treat the needed bad The needed ones still had Because they opened up too fast They should’ve known it wouldn’t last I know it’s easy for me to see Because I’ve always been on the outside Peeking in to see What’s going on in you Is going on in me And what you couldn’t see Has finally come around to you I always make the same mistake Of getting in too deep No matter what occasion springs up The noose is stretched for me And the trophy handed to you With the winner’s name engraved Too bad the judges never knew Your plan to enslave Anyone that gets in your way But it’s only you that knows My gift to you becomes me Your rose Now see the real Inspire and feel Now see the real Inspire Addiction Fundamentals Music: Donley, Leavitt Lyrics: Donley do you know what it takes to feel good If I knew I wouldn’t fuckin’ tell you if I could Because there you go spreadin’ all the news Fundamentals set the stage of all the abuse *Because the drug only adds to the false Display of shit, poor me! Now I’m at a loss Put up with all you fuckin’ fakes for now I’m addicted anyhow So go ahead and peel me off the floor All the shit inject don’t know how much more Do you think the fuckin’ level is surpassed? You always want it like that Addiction fun for me How easy Addiction fun for me Do you fuckin’ know what the fuck it takes *Because the drug only adds to the false Display of shit, poor me! Now I’m at a loss Put up with all you fuckin’ fakes for now Nothing matters anyhow Addiction fun for me How easy Addiction fun for me Do you fuckin’ know what the fuck it takes *Because the drug only adds to the false Display of shit, poor me! Now I’m at a loss Put up with all you fuckin’ fakes for now Nothing matters anyhow 9. If it weighs on your mind Music and lyrics: Donley A picture tells a thousand And steals your soul with every frame Just like the words that we were told It gets so old, myself, I’m cold If the bush is burning will we feel the flame? If the water’s drowning, will we feel the same? If it’s a beautiful night, could we take a walk? If not, I won’t call…I won’t fall But if it weighs on your mind Would you stop and take the time To figure what I’m trying to say Just save it for dissection another day I’ve sold myself before For all acceptance that I want more I’ve been trusting my mirrors too much So much so that I’m now out of touch If the heart’s in season will you go to the hunt? For no real reason, you just missed the “fun”? If you think real, will you find a cause? and pick apart all my necessary flaws But if it weighs on your mind Would you stop and take the time To figure what I’m trying to say Just save it for dissection another day It’s no good But does it weigh on your mind? Is it the kind of thought that’s one of a kind? Is it the kind of thought that burns you inside? At least you’ll feel the same thoughts as mine But does it weigh on your mind? Is it the kind of thought that’s one of a kind? Is it the kind of thought that burns you inside? At least you’ll feel the same thoughts as mine And since the words lost their meaning Long ago Just jump the ship to see if you float Because I know you gave in when you said “I understand” I understand I understand I understand I under stand But how could you? It’s not that easy to get by me So just try… Go down, go down ​ ​

    1. Leech Music and lyrics: Donley Some say it’s wrong for life to be taken preach to me, I think that you’re mistaken “don’t ponder suicide… Tragedy’s the best way to die” if you’re into it *for when it bleeds the blood of life and love it cannot be opinion, it’s not enough *for when it bleeds the blood of life and love I don’t think we agree to hurt enough I don’t believe in much or much my dreams of what I want-my crutch hampered by my own distrust you are keeping down my must…I must, I must *for when it bleeds the blood of life and love it cannot be opinion, it’s not enough *for when it bleeds the blood of life and love I don’t think we agree to hurt enough *for when it bleeds the blood of life and love it cannot be opinion, it’s not enough *for when it bleeds the blood of life and love I don’t think we agree to hurt enough You don’t blame me enough ​ 2. My rules Music and lyrics: Donley Words don’t mean really what they mean so why believe when there’s nothing to believe *we play by my own rules or we don’t play at all *we play by my own rules or we don’t play at all Why convey what’s impossible to say just show what you feel unless it isn’t even real *we play by my own rules or we don’t play at all *we play by my own rules or we don’t play at all Try to regret something else you haven’t done yet I don’t think so I think you should go *we play by my own rules or we don’t play at all *we play by my own rules or we don’t play at all 3. Too many, too few Music and lyrics: Donley if too many were still too few could any of you look at me without taking aim? And let the ones who need to be left to blame and if I showed you how is there any chance that you would allow? and though it’s too early to say if it’s worth it for me to stay long enough to receive all the dear necessities that you seem to think I need ever dose and every sting could you look at me? just calm the tough and lovely and love enough, the ugly; me, to stay and if I showed you how is there any chance that you would allow? me to congregate beyond you at least so I could say I found you even though it’s all behind too many, too few of us were blind and if I showed you how is there any chance that I could be found without the preconceptions of the unprotection just enough to mention that I hate all the attention and all along I knew there’s been too many…and still too few if too many were still too few all along I…I knew ​ 4. O.D. Caffeine Music and lyrics: Donley Am I out of ideas? or am I just bored if I use the creative ease… will I allow myself to be cured? *Seduced by “popular” and caffeine pessimist and negative are my number 1 team and if it’s gonna’ take me I wish it’d hurry up not unreal, pardon me allow me to o.d. I want to be unattractive I want to be radioactive just pull the wool over my eyes how many forms of suicide? *Seduced by “popular” and caffeine pessimist and negative are my number 1 team and if it’s gonna’ take me I wish it’d hurry up not unreal, pardon me allow me to o.d.
