My Oblivion

"My Oblivion"

i looked up to you
but you only looked down
no one could do the things you would do
but you only ever sought oblivion
i can't say when
and i can't say how
but something big is coming
that we can't keep down
baby girl, stop crying
but daddy won't be coming home
don't ever forget his love for you
sickness and a gun left him all alone
i can't say when
and i can't say how
but something big is coming
and our time is now
stand and survive
one more day
we can survive
one last day
just one last day
we can survive
just one last day
so build your bridges strong

"Cool Your Jets"

"Cool Your Jets"

my dreams are everything i didn't get to say
your dreams only seem to get in your way
maybe if i could convince my dreams to stay
i wouldn't take it so hard

cool your jets, now
cause baby, you're golden
take my hand and we'll get out
we'll chase our dreams together

my face won't ever paint me a sign
your lungs just don't agree with your rhymes
maybe if i could just forget to try
i could play the part

just simmer down, now
cause baby, you're golden
lead the way and we'll get out
we'll chase our dreams together

your arms are black and blue
mine have a bit of red too
maybe if i gave my knife to you
i wouldn't fall apart
i wouldn't fall apart

break my fall, now
cause baby, you're golden
if i let go, i'll never get out
we'll throw out our dreams together

Storm's A-Comin'

kind of a new revision of parts of "The Light Show" xD
[i don't know why some of the text is super small.. i can't seem to fix it..]

"Storm's A-Comin'"

take off your gloves!
this ain't no holy ground
they will never know
there ain't no one around!

apologies don't make amends
when you're struck by lightening

these plagues don't touch you
they all fall
they all fall

i serve no one!
but the mighty Lord above
if you're too young
things are about to get rough!

troubles are just around the bend
when you're struck by lightening

the wicked fall all around you
they all fall
they all fall
strike me down
strike me down
strike me down

apologies don't make amends
when you're struck by lightening
your dignity drops to the floor
when you're struck by lightening
troubles are just around the bend
when you're struck by lightening
when you're struck by lightening

The Light Show

"The Light Show"

apologies don't make amends
when you're struck by lightening
when you're struck by lightening

when you know his ways, when you see the lights,
when you hear the roar, when you stand to fight
you won't find me there

your dignity drips to the floor
when you're struck by lightening

if you know his ways, if you see the lights
if you hear the roar, if you stand to fight
you won't find me there
don't you know his ways?
[when you're struck by lightening]
don't you see the lights?
[when you're struck by lightening]
don't you hear the roar?
[when you're struck by lightening]
now stand and fight!
now stand and fight!
now stand and fight!

you won't find me there..
