Don’t let it get in the way of the party
The best of the best
Don’t settle for anything less

The company you seek and keep will define you
Motivations can’t escape some questioning
Champagne chandeliers, sparkling grins from ear to ear
All the world’s an oyster and you are the pearl inside

Out On A Limb
Oh my friend I hate to see you this way
And as I empathize I don’t know what to say
I know you don’t see it now
You’ll feel better somehow
After the fall you’ll walk away

Why can’t it be simple?
Why can’t we just love one another just like we love ourselves?

You’ve put it out there for all the world to see
And out of your mouth even you can’t believe
You’ve gone and done it now
You can’t take it back somehow
The hurt in your heart can take a bow

After the Math
Corralled canals and spirits that bend
Broken homes and people might not mend
Levels tested through, through and through again
30 wall of water pouring in

Agony awaits those who wait
And day by day feels like a day too late
1 + 1 is great, but thousands saturate
Any sign that help is on the way

30 wall of water pouring in
All this dirty water staying in
Holding in the sin, and all this sufferin'
30 wall of water pouring in

Blackholes trying to communicate
The future living in the dark age
Fueling all the rage, decency gives way
But somehow we will stand great

Sugarcoat
Oh I just don’t know
Oh just where I’m gonna go
But getting there is half the show
I don’t know just where I’m gonna go
I want to find a little piece of mind

You just don’t know
We’ve always known
Let’s be polite

And I don’t, I don’t want to find the truth
‘Cause it just might hurt
And all I ever did was try to level with you
But you want sugarcoat

All in all, all that I can do is what I do
But it’s never enough
All you want is a watered down version of the truth
And sugarcoat

Oh I just can’t see
Oh just where your gonna be
Without good ole fashion honesty
You may never know just who truly are
But everyone around has a pretty good idea

Don’t you be polite

The Weaker Man
A widow of the blackest kind
I don’t know if I can refuse
What I need to leave behind
Have strength not to lose to you

What did-did-did-did cha do to me?
Oh yes
I don’t remember anything past your lips

I can’t wait to see you on my plate
I will devour everything in sight
I don’t know how long I can go
I’ve given all I can

There’s blood in my veins, girl
But cells in my brain
How come the outcome is still/always the same?
The black widow of the blackest kind
Can render the weaker man blind

Love And Be Loved
It’s been too long since you’ve gone away
I don’t know if I’ll ever leave this town again
That empty feeling isn’t here to stay
It subsides just a little bit with each passing day

Your deep eyes drag me down and I see

The feeling of love replaced with a love lost
Shouldn’t overshadow what once was
It doesn’t replace your heart at love’s cost
To be in love is to learn of loss

Love and be loved or just be

You’re Gonna Hate Me
You’re gonna hate me for what I’ve become
You’re never going to forgive me for what I’ve done to you

All you ever wanted was this
C’mon, c’mon

No, I don’t know what I did

The Damage Done
It doesn’t really matter
I’m not mad
I can’t be
I didn’t agree
With how you went about things
But when do I ever do
A little disappointed
I’m not comfortable
So I eliminate
I wish you the best
And I hope it works out

Listen to the Burn
Is it all for naught?
For this little shot in the dark
Can we ever do our best?
Is it ever good enough to rest?
Each day - takes me - to the next...
But, I won't sleep, no, I won't sleep
Until we mark me in our history
[oh, we turn and we turn]

I know just how
Just how I died
Can it be known
Was I alone
On this little marble that we call home

You gotta make a name for yourself
Your birthright given one wasn't earned
All those unmentionable souls are a lesson learned
You gotta do what your soul tells you to do, listen to the burn...
And we turn and we turn
Forever and a day it seems longer than that
'Cause we turn and we turn

Narcissistic
You, you hold the cards and you don’t even know it
It’s a silly little world when a dumb little girl holds power over men
Oh, there’s something you must know before I fold
I love myself oh so much

I don’t know, I don’t know why I love myself so much
