I know I know...
When you were My Darlin’
You drew me in with your disarray
When you were My Darlin’
Each day I hoped and each day I’d pray you’d stay
I still believe there’s another way
When you were My Darlin’
Time only sours what once was sweet
Blood sweat and tears are fueled by deceit, believe me
Some play for love and some play to keep
Knife through the heart and kiss on the cheek, you feel me.
Fine, sign on dotted line
I am moving on for the second time and this, I know you’ll miss
Oh the north wind blows and I hold you so close
So you never feel cold, you'll never let go
When you were My Darlin’
You drew me in with your disarray
When you were My Darlin’
Each day I hoped and each day I’d pray you’d stay
I still believe there’s another way
When you were My Darlin’
Give me another tale of your woes
Tell me how you deserve more then most, convince me
Can’t always practice just what I preach
Scratch to the bone when I get that itch, you feel me
Fine, sign on dotted line
I am moving on for the second time and this, I know you’ll miss
Oh the north wind blows and I hold you so close
So you never feel cold, you'll never let go
Unexamined life is not worth living
When you gonna take a long hard stare
I can not let go of my misgivings
No no no
I know I know...

Great Expectations

I’ve felt ambivalence I’ve felt rage
Inside my own, beguiled mind
I’ve seen a man begging for grace
Out of the corner of my eye
Hey there man with the plan do you know where you going to
You got only one face you can lose
I don’t know where you’ve been but I know where you’re coming from
By the gift of your gab, by the sound of your blues
This moment too will come to pass
It’s not a question if just when
It took some time to figure out
Every beginning has an end
Your road to hell my friend has always been paved with good intentions
You said it best just when you said nothing at all
Your road to hell my friend has always been paved with good intentions
You said it best just when you said nothing at all

The Guillotine

Decisions are made
And who is to blame
Such mess and disgrace
Sure could use a face
No place hide
Let’s go for a ride
Down to the gallows
The rules of the game
By sword or by flame you die just the same
No warning
No warning
A king or a maid
The blink of an eye, the slide of the blade
No warning
No warning
You don’t know
What it feels like to take it away
Till its gone
You won’t miss what you had on your plate
You don’t know
What it feels like to take it away
Till its gone
Already too late
So many of them they’re storming the gate.
No warning
No warning
There’s no give and take
Got nothing to eat so let em eat cake
No warning
No warning
So how does it feel now the shoe’s on the other foot
Third estate taken Bastille, what are we to do?
Put on a dress that’s befitting for public unrest
There’s no escape for the scapegoat that we will choose
What’s on the menu? Tonight we serve royal stew
Quick to square, you don’t wanna miss all the fanfare
What can be said my love of your dreaded fate
Wearing your Sunday’s best on a Saturday
Something else to declare, for the thousand glares?
Elle a dit “Pardon, monsieur, je ne l’ai pas fait expres.”
Smell of fresh blood in the air
Even Max “Incorruptible” couldn’t be spared
You don’t know
What it feels like to take it away
Till its gone
You won’t miss what you had on your plate
You don’t know
What it feels like to take it away
Till its gone
Decisions are made
And who is to blame
Such mess and disgrace
Sure could use a face
No place hide
Let’s go for a ride
Down to the gallows

Downtown

Her heart is not in her chest
It was left by the side of the bed
In the house she no longer calls home
In the town with a name no one knows
Downtown baby
Looking for a thrill
To take my breath away
Downtown baby
Everything’s a mess
And still I wanna stay
And darkness is falling all around
One love was never enough
He got going when going got tough
Tried on habit or two
Hopping he could become someone new
Downtown baby
Looking for a thrill
To take my breath away
Downtown baby
Everything’s a mess
And still I wanna stay
And darkness is falling all around
I feel it in every town
I’ve been looking for something to save me, for someone to be near
I’ve been searching in all the wrong places with heart that’s full of fear
Downtown baby
Looking for a thrill
To take my breath away
Downtown baby
Everything’s a mess
And still I wanna stay
And darkness is falling all around

Monday Morning

All of hell broke loose
Monday morning
Without any warning
It all came apart
Evening news said brace
For stormy weather
Could get worse not better
I feel in my heart
If you never crossed the line you never went out far enough
If you never walked the edge you’re playing it to safe
If you never hurt someone you likely never been in love
If you never broke your word your promises are vague
All of hell broke loose
Monday morning
Without any warning
It all came apart
If you never crossed the line you never went out far enough
If you never walked the edge you’re playing it to safe
If you never hurt someone you likely never been in love
If you never broke your word your promises are vague
Try it again and in failing
This time you can say you’ve done it all
Try it again we’re all waiting
This time I know you won’t take the fall
Try it again we’re all waiting
This time I know
You bend over backwards yet you never seem to brake
You cut all the angles and you’re left without a shape
So cut it, so cut it
