True Blood 03:55
I'm the rock and you're the sea I want your love to swallow me C'mon yeah. C'mon yeah. C'mon and show your hand I'm the bite and you're the blood You're the still before the storm You're the pulse between the breath C'mon yeah. C'mon yeah. C'mon and show your hand You're the wait and I'm the fear I may live the longest time I may never again find A taste of what I'm meant to feel With you I'm real I'm the shadow; you're the sun I steal the light; you set us free C'mon yeah. C'mon yeah. C'mon and show your hand I'm the shadow; you're the sun

All I Wanted 03:42
You went away You took away You took away My happy You went away As if to say As if to say I am nothing Just yesterday You had to say You had to say I am leaving You went away As if to say As if to say I am nothing You said that this will be the last time we will kiss You said you always wanted something more than this But all i wanted is All I wanted is you You went away You took away You took away My happy You went away As if to say As if to say I am nothing Just yesterday You had to say You had to say I am leaving You went away As if to say As if to say I am nothing You said that this will be the last time we will kiss You said you always wanted something more than this But all i wanted is All I wanted is you All I wanted is All I wanted is All I wanted is All I wanted is you

Pretty Girls 03:01
Cast adrift in a boiling sea Open wounds that are left to bleed A pretty girl did this to me Pretty girls are pretty ugly inside They can take the very best of a man They will use him any way they can Break his spirit and break the man Pretty girls are pretty ugly inside Who's gonna take out the garbage tonight Who's gonna pick up after you You say that you are sorry but I Don't believe a word you say They just use their looks to get by They don't get it then they start to cry They don't even have to try Pretty girls are pretty ugly inside Who's gonna take out the garbage tonight Who's gonna pick up after you You say that you are sorry but I Don't believe a word you say Pretty girls are pretty ugly inside Pretty girls are pretty ugly Pretty girls are pretty messed up inside

My Own Skin 03:01
I know, i know it's over now I know, I know it's broken down I know I can't say anything It won't make a difference I see, I see it's time for change I feel, I feel I feel the pain I know I can't do anything It won't make a difference I am drowning in my own skin I am falling into the void Go on, go on and jump that bridge Go on, go on and crash you car Go on, go on lay down and die It won't make a difference I am drowning in my own skin I am falling into the void I am drowning in my own skin I am drowning in my own skin

My heart is a muscle Pumping blood into my veins No sign of love lives there Nothing there for you to claim I gave it to a heartless girl I live alone in an undead world Love built on lies and lust Came crashing down in misplaced trust So put on your finery Put on your smile And fake it 'til you break Courage of convictions Was my mistake Love is the devil Dressed as an angel Go fuck a stranger At the monster's ball Broken once, shattered twice I didn't heed my own advice Hope was stronger than my will A fool to care, a fool I'm still My heart is a muscle Pumping blood into my veins No sign of love live there Nothing there for you to claim So put on your finery Put on your smile And fake it 'til you break Courage of convictions Was my mistake Love is the devil Dressed as an angel Go fuck a stranger At the monster's ball

How can I explain to him He's just a child he can't understand The only world he's ever known Has left him now she's not coming home You've broken a promise Made him homeless Made him homeless Broken a promise Just like me your family had no choice When you arrived they lost their voice Now you watch your mother breaking down At the fragile minds all around You've broken a promise Made them homeless Made them homeless Broken a promise The damage done The damage done Now I'm taking out my wary heart With a coldness I learned from you I hold it out for all to see And burn the words that I once used You've broken a promise Made me homeless Made me homeless Broken a promise The damage done The damage done The damage done The damage done You've broken a promise Made us homeless Made us homeless Broken a promise

Howling to the wind Make me feel again Snow falls on my face it's so cold Make me feel again My chest holds a stone It's colder than the snow Filled with broken moments spoken How can I make change With poison in my blood Poison in my blood Poison in my blood Poison in my blood Standing on your shore Waiting here for hours Waves break, tide pulls back out to sea How can I make change With poison in my blood Poison in my blood Poison in my blood Poison in my blood Waiting for change it will free me Waiting for change it will come With poison in my blood Poison in my blood Poison in my blood Poison in my blood Waiting for change it will free me Waiting for change it will come

New 04:37
A new day Sun is shining on my bed Empty space Where you once lay A new day Thoughts are messing with head When we first gave Ten years today Don't look back again into the dark Dawn break bright and clear a brand new start You can make it through this You can make it new You can make it through this You can make it new today I recall The wet grass under our cold backs As we mocked A drunken moon Then the tears As our love slipped far away Broken years An empty room Don't look back again into the dark Dawn break bright and clear a brand new start You can make it through this You can make it new You can make it through this You can make it new today You have all that you need Inside set your heart free You have all that you need Inside set your heart free You can make it through this You can make it new You can make it through this You can make it new You can make it through this You can make it new You can make it through this You can make it new today

With Love 06:07
One life to live One gift to give One path to follow home So long in the dark So tired of it all So pleased we were together once Thankful for The child we made With love I'm OK I'm OK On my own I don't wanna fight The time is now Let the future unfold Thankful for The lessons learned With love I'm OK I'm OK On my own Go your way with love I'll go my way with love I'm OK I'm OK I'm OK I'm OK On my own Go your way with love I'll go my way with love

I'm waiting for a new dawn breaking I'm looking for a bright white light I'm stirring like a new born baby Hello. Welcome to your life I'm moving. Wanting, wishing I'm looking for a spark to ignite I'm seeking what I've been missing Hello. Welcome to your life I'm here. Alive Show me the road ahead No fear. Survived The sum total of life has led me here I'm dreaming, my eyes wide open I'm drawing of sunny days The roadsigns up ahead reads Hello. Welcome to your life I'm here. Alive Show me the road ahead No fear. Survived The sum total of life has led me here Hello. Welcome to your Hello. Welcome to your Hello. Welcome to your life
