  • Winning When I Lose (Song Sketch)
    I was raised with a butcher knife
    Been cut down nearly all my life
    I see out my own two eyes
    I know you think I am a fool
    But what you do not understand
    is that I'm winning when I lose
    Never learned to read or write
    Never back down from a fight
    I'm safe inside these prison walls
    In here I know the rules
    The days go by I do my time
    'cause I'm winning when I lose
    Don't resurrect me, try to protect me, tell me that you still expect me to
    Try to deny it, try to buy it, say I don't remember when I do
    It doesn't matter what I say or do
    'cause I'm winning when I lose
    Ain't no future, ain't no past
    Living in a photograph
    I've seen the things that life can do
    You don't even have a clue
    There's not need to pity me
    'cause I'm winning when I lose

  • Another Journey Now
    Climb aboard the sinking ship, they're ready to set sail
    Headed to the center of the storm
    Tie yourself onto the mast, things will certainly get rough
    You really wouldn't want to take a chance
    Your compass and your sextant are useless to you now
    You are at the mercy of your past
    All the people that you love are waving from the shore
    They don't know you're never coming back
    Ooh Ooh Ooh
    You are someone different than you know
    How could you understand
    You are on another journey now
    Don't let it make you sad
    You need to find the answers to the questions that you ask
    I hope you'll finally understand
    The lessons that you try to learn may seem simple at first glance
    But some will take a lifetime of digging in the sand
    You are someone different than you know
    You still don't understand
    You are on another journey now
    Don't bother looking back
    You don't have to say goodbye, I can see it in your face
    I hope the world that lies ahead of you will be a better place
    You are someone different than you know
    Soon you'll understand
    You are on another journey now
    You are on another journey now
    You are on another journey now

  • Someone Should Save You (Song Sketch)
    Em G
    You were standing in the doorway
    Em G
    Your eyes shined a crystal blue
    F Am
    In the mirror, in the hallway
    F B7
    I was picking up the cues
    All the people, all around you
    Wanted pieces of your soul
    You had nothing left to give them
    But you would not let them know
    C D
    You are an angel
    G Em
    You are a star
    C D
    Someone should save you
    G Em
    I would take you, as you are
    C D
    You are an angel
    G Em
    You're a vision. yes you are
    C D C
    I would take you, as you are
    I saw how you hid your sadness
    I felt everything you felt
    You were smiling through the madness
    Felt like running, I could tell
    You are an angel
    You are a star
    Someone should save you
    I would take you, as you are
    You are an angel
    You're a vision
    yes you are
    C D
    Someone should save you
    Em A
    I don't need to change you
    C D
    I would take you,
    G Em
    I would take you,
    C D C
    I would take you, as you are

  • The Explorer (Song Sketch)
    I see the light, I see the shadows
    I'm drifting off the straight and narrow
    As I suffer the slings and arrows
    I hear the sounds, I hear the silence
    Still can't understand, but I am trying
    I keep my eyes on the horizon
    I am wondering
    I am wondering
    What's true
    I'm discovering
    I'm uncovering
    the proof
    Solo over chorus
    I have the right, I have the reason
    What may be wrong, may not be evil
    I try to find the deeper meaning
    I am wondering
    I am wondering
    What's true
    I'm discovering
    I'm uncovering
    the proof

  • Am I Dreaming Now (Song Sketch)
    Am I dreaming now
    Will this ever end
    I still can't explain
    And I can't pretend
    No I can't pretend
    I don't understand
    I don't think I will
    I am holding on
    I am standing still
    Ooh
    There are reasons why
    There are shades of grey
    I am waiting here
    Will not go away
    I won't go away
    Rain is coming down
    Like an avalanche
    Hold you in my arms
    'till the storm has passed
    ooh
    We'll get through these times together
    Right by your side forever
    For worse and for better
    Am I dreaming now
    Will this ever end
    I still can't explain
    And I can't pretend
    No I can't pretend
    ooh

  • Hey Hey Halellujah (Song Sketch)
    When will you come to your senses
    Pick a side for all of your fences
    You are running out of time to decide
    You can't get by on lies and excuses
    Make a list of all your abuses
    Then ball it up and throw it in the fire
    Hey Hey, Hallelujah
    Am I gettin' through to you?
    Cross your fingers
    Promise not to lie
    Why, Why, would I need and fool ya?
    Got the fear of god running through 'ya
    It ain't that hard
    You barely have to try
    I'm so sick of hearing about it
    You say you can't live without it
    But you're just standing there trying not to cry
    Sometimes things don't make no sense
    Good intentions don't make no difference
    Just keep looking to see what you can find.
    Hey Hey, Hallelujah
    Am I gettin' through to you?
    Cross your fingers
    Promise not to lie
    Why, Why, would I need and fool ya?
    Got the fear of god running through 'ya
    It ain't that hard
    You barely have to try
    You barely have to try
    Don't be a stubborn fool
    Just keep your cool
    Keep walking that fine line
    Hey Hey, Hallelujah
    Am I gettin' through to you?
    Cross your fingers
    Promise not to lie
    Why, Why, would I need and fool ya?
    Got the fear of god running through 'ya
    It ain't that hard
    You barely have to try
    When will you come to your senses
    Pick a side for all of your fences
    You are running out of time to decide

  • Wake Up America (Song Sketch)
    Blood on the street
    Fire in the sky
    Blood on the street
    Rage in our eyes
    What will it take
    for you to realize
    We are stolen people on stolen land
    You've got 1000 Years of blood, on your hands
    When will you finally understand
    Wake up America
    Hung in the trees
    Killed in broad daylight
    Hung in a trees
    You saw it with your own eyes
    I can't believe
    That you are surprised
    We are stolen people on stolen land
    You've got 1000 Years of blood, on your hands
    When will you finally understand
    Wake up America

  • Trying To Let Go (Song Sketch)
    She said "You know, I'm still in love with you"
    I wish that I could just let go
    But these feelings have a hold on me
    Not sure why I want you to know
    (I guess I hope) Maybe I think you feel the same way
    And you're just to scared to tell
    But I remember how you looked away
    When you said you wished me well
    I am falling
    I am falling
    I am falling down
    I am trying
    I am trying
    I am trying to let go
    I know I am not the only one
    Dragging a soggy torch around
    Wishing tears would turn into fire
    Hoping to burn things to the ground
    I know I will fall in love again
    And your memory will fade
    But you you left a scar on my heart
    It will never be the same
    I am falling
    I am falling
    I am falling down
    I am trying
    I am trying
    I am trying to let go

  • It's Not Too Late (Song Sketch)
    You don't want to wait
    You don't want to play this game forever
    You don't want to have to say, you're sorry
    I think you're afraid
    I think you're a stranger to yourself
    I think you're a long long way, from knowing
    You know you're running out of time
    You need to put it on the line
    It's not to late, to change the way you want to live your life
    The price you pay depends on just how long you've let things slide
    You'll never know the answer 'til you try
    You are the only one, that can decide
    You can run away
    You can try and say it doesn't matter
    You can try and pray for an answer
    There will be a day
    There will be way to make excuses
    There will be a lot of reasons why it can't work
    But it's only one decision
    Despite your premonition
    It's not to late, to change the way you want to live your life
    The price you pay depends on just how long you've let things slide
    You'll never know the answer 'til you try
    You are the only one, that can decide
    You are the only one
