All that I know is falling downhill Numb to the bone time running thin And I don’t deserve you now. And I might concern you now. Give me a reason to let you in The path that I’m taking has sealed my sin And I don’t deserve you now. But I might concern you now. All that I know is falling downhill Maybe you know I…

Poison 04:16
She demands the world stops as she enters the room And I’m the only one who knows the damage she will do And she’s watching, waiting, making me crazy, Smiling, laughing, watching as I inch closer And I know I’m better, know I’m better, know I’m better, know I’m better than that But I can’t stop. Now I’m free floating on this empty buzz And I’m falling down, falling down, because I got too high My mind is racing baby, making me crazy, Smiling, laughing, watching as I inch closer And I know I’m better, know I’m better, know I’m, know I’m, know I’m better than that But I can’t stop. She demands the world stops as she enters the room Oh I’m not the only one she wants to choose Oh I know, I know, But I… Yeah

Tug of War 04:15
Here I am I’m torn in two I feel the world pull me down And I don’t know what to do. Haven’t paid for my freedom Surrendered all of it to you And I’d repeat this all again. But honey, I’m thinking all this through. It’d never be this easy To come home straight to you But honey, I’m sinking way too soon. The sky falls down above me. Heightened fright behind the curtain Sparked a fire inside of you It burnt me down to the ashes. Testify against the masses For a life above this I held you high, you kept me restless But honey, I’m thinking all this through. It’d never be this easy To come home straight to you But honey, I’m sinking way too soon. The sky falls down above me And I just love the view

I stare right on through two beautiful brown eyes who stare on to her ghosts on the horizon. I put my arm around her and hold her to remind me she’s still here I don’t want to forget you. We sit alone in silence The thoughts they creep inside my head She melts them away I put my arm around her I find her heart closes in on me We’re left alone together only us left to blame. Howl at the moon Howl at the moon Howl at the moon, oh, to see if you’re still here. Howl at the moon Howl at the moon Howl at the moon, oh, to see if you’re still here We sit alone in silence The thoughts will never end I nuzzled in her deeply but then she said “Don’t ever let the stories Paint pictures in your head Cause this right here is real and don’t you ever forget it” Ok I promise.
