Sidewalk Spit

This is a no-brainer situation,
Sit your ass down and give back the gun,
There's no way that you come out on top, it's done.
So give back all you've taken,
Make it quick.
No, I'm not mistaken,
It's no trick.
Your words are worth no more than sidewalk spit.
If you're such a class act then give up the mask,
I'll make you a deal if you can cut some slack,
Eyes to the sky and put your hands behind your back.
And give back all you've taken,
Make it quick.
No, I'm not mistaken,
It's no trick.
Your words are worth no more than sidewalk spit.
This is a no-brainer situation,
Sit your ass down and give back the gun,
There's no way that you come out on top, it's done.
So give back all you've taken,
Make it quick.

It's no trick.
Your words are worth no more than sidewalk spit.

Accidental Lies

There's something to how you do what you do,
To pull me in,
And it's no trick or treat that I know,
From where I've been,
And it's alright, it's okay,
Just you tell me when to scream,
And I'll come to the edge,
Of this dream.
I wanna give you a surprise,
I wanna open up your eyes,
Oh let me brighten up your skies,
There are no accidental lies.
Though it's all been said before,
Yet we still come back for more,
Because it's the rock and the paper,
The scissors that take her,
Away from what she knows.
Then it's the melody maker,
The one that would shake her,
Out of her comfort zone.
And declare,
There's not a moment to spare.
X's and O's, misty eyes, runny nose,
We know it well,
Trembling lips, furrowed brow, creeky hips,
This mini hell,
But it's alright, it's okay,
Just you tell me when to leave,
And I'll run to the edge,
Of this dream.
I wanna give you a surprise,
I wanna open up your eyes,
Oh let me brighten up your skies,
There are no accidental lies.
Though it's all been said before,
In this trepidatious score,
Because it's the rock and the paper,
The scissors that take her,
Away from what she knows.
Then it's the melody maker,
The one that would shake her,
Out of her comfort zone.
And declare,
There's not a moment to spare.
There's something to how you do what you do,
What you do...
I wanna give you a surprise,
I wanna open up your eyes,
Oh let me brighten up your skies,
There are no accidental lies.
Though it's all been said before,
And my heart is getting sore,
Because it's the rock and the paper,
The scissors that take her,
Away from what she knows.
Then it's the melody maker,
The one that would shake her,
Out of her comfort zone.
And declare,
There's not a moment to spare.

Earthy Eyes
03:23

A long long long time ago,
I took a sudden leap,
Fell from a height and somehow,
Landed on my feet.
It's time to see, all I can be,
Now that we've got all our lives to be free.
So sing it out,
We want to hear you now.
You've got a voice, let's hear it,
You've got the soul, the spirit.
So reign over me,
My eyes of the sea,
Crash waves on your shore,
Like shields smash the sword.
And there's nothing you can say to change my ways,
There's nothing in the world will take my gaze,
From earthy eyes.
Straight from the other side,
Get off your silver boat,
White sails and overcoats,
And seashells from the coast,
It's fun to be free,
Now back home to me,
Right where we are is where we're meant to be.
So sing it out,
We want to hear you loud,
You've got a voice, let's hear it,
You've got the soul, the spirit.
Open space,
You want it,
But don't take it,
'Cause you can.
Reign over me,
My eyes of the sea,
Crash waves on your shore,
Like shields smash the sword.
And there's nothing you can say to change my ways,
There's nothing in the world will take my gaze,
From earthy eyes.
Earthy eyes.

House of Cards
03:33
|

Everybody owes themselves one thing,
Everybody's got a gift to bring,
And when you feel the tension,
It's a sign to push ahead,
Looking for redemption,
When you've lost the common thread.
And it seems so hard,
But this house of cards,
Will fall for you.
Tell yourself you've got a common goal,
Between your heart, your mind, body and soul,
And this is your ignition,
It's your time to push ahead,
Free from superstition,
And the places that it's lead.
And it seems so hard,
But this house of cards,
Will fall for you.
Good intentions,
And interventions.
It may seem so hard,
Be who you are,
This house of cards,
Will fall for you.

Hearts in the Sand
04:29

So I fade into the black,
What's one more heart attack to stir things up?
So I step out from the dark,
Someday I'll make my mark, when I get my courage up.
I got a bad flip-flop tan,
Calloused up hands,
Playing on the curb to fill the cup,
And to make things better,
Brighter weather,
Blue eyes in the blue sky looking up.
Give me one who'll stay,
For better or for worse,
Through thick, through thin,
These wounds alone can't nurse.
So come take my hand,
We'll sail to an uncharted land,
And draw hearts in the sand.
And you're not the only one,
Well sure you've made your move, your heart was set to stun.
An exception to the rule,
Won't be confined, restrained, defined by what you've done.
I got a bad flip-flop tan,
Calloused up hands,
Playing on the curb to fill the cup,
And to make things better,
Brighter weather,
Blue eyes in the blue sky looking up.
Give me one who'll stay,
For better or for worse,
Through thick, through thin,
These wounds alone can't nurse.
So come take my hand,
We'll sail to an uncharted land,
And draw hearts in the sand.
