Love N Blue

I ain't even got started, filling out this space,
your my favorite time of day baby
I think I'll make my case
You're like a thought in my head, that I can't put down
You go me walking around, thinking out loud, feet on the ground
But my head in a cloud.
Refrain
Just in case you missed the news
you're my favorite kind of blues
'Cuz I love you baby, love you baby, love you baby
Love and blue
My mama told me there would always be,
times like this
She taught me purple haze, one hundred ways, strange days
but to follow your bliss
Refrain
I was a lone soul a twin without another
I was a lone soul a twin without another
I was a lone soul a twin without another
I was a lone soul ......until I found my other
Low down dirty man, sho know what to say,
you know how to talk about it,
Get me started, scream and shout it,
and keep me strung out for days
Refrain
I ain't even got started filling out this space. You're my favorite kind of day baby, I think I made my case

Blame
03:49
|

|
Harsh tones and slamming doors
Loud talking “man-of-war”
I’m shaking my head as I watch it unfolding
You always talk so tough
But your fear is obvious
Scared of the world with all its “strange” diversity
Violent and cancerous, cowardly, pretentious.
You need the world kept small so you can be king
So you push and you shove and ya fight it
Ain’t no way to save a house divided
But I don’t need to bring you down to elevate me
So Don’t blame it on me
I hear you’re coming for me
Well you better bring your A game baby
I ain’t gone make it easy but
Come on
A fool looking for war
Will find what he’s looking for
You ain’t getting over with no accountability
The situation called for more
Than you ever gave it credit for
Over shadowed by a vision that’s to big for you
But don’t blame it on me...
ooohhh
All the time, making everything about you
Never minding all the fucked up things you do
Laying blame is just your way to skirt the truth
But it ain’t my fault when you burnt it all
The flames took your house too
Ooooooh
Repeat:
The situation called for more.....

For Keeps
05:03
|

|
Rome is bleeding on a tall, tall hill, so put the light on
A sister dreams while the flood waters recede, so put the light on
We're salivating to the war slides, always hoping God's on our side
Put the light on, hey, put the light on
Refrain:
'Cuz in the shadows where, nothing matters
There, the darkness breeds while action sleeps in
In the light of day we’d have to make a play
That might just be for keeps
But there is plenty of blood on my hands, put light on
But the bones are steel here in my stance, put the light on
The baby is nursing from the funeral urn, as we stand and watch our island burn
So Put the light on, hey, hey put the light on
Refrain
Bridge:
Self Deception grows in the absence, the absence of light
in the absence of light
We're acclimated to a sick, grey world,
It doesn't matter which flag unfurls,
The buried corpses we know we've kept
They woke up and found us while we've slept
Put the light on,
Put the light on
Put the light on
Hey, put the light on
Refrain

My Own Kind of Cool
04:58
|
|||
|
I don't like,
limits put upon m oh and all the folks that tell you
"No you're not in"
But I don't mind,
cuz I got a style that's all my own and I don't have to fit a mold
I "live" it!
Maybe I'll never be a set in stone identity and I don't think I wanna be
Maybe I'll never be a set in stone identity and I don't think I’m meant to be cool
I'm my own kind of cool, I'm my own oh
It's like I'm different, independent, common, lowly and transcendent
Little ob-ses-sion
Been too much, rejection made me question, prior quests to find perfection
So I go my own, di-rec-tion.
Refrain:
Instrumental break
I don't like, limits put upon m oh and all the folks that tell you
"No you're not in"
But I don't mind, cuz I got a style that's all my own and I don't have to fit a mold
I "live" it!
Refrain / Ad-lib
My own kind of cooooool
My own kind of cooooool
My own kind of cooooool
My own kind of cooooool
My own kind of cooooool
My own kind of cooooool
I'm my own kind of cool

A New Day
04:24
|

Note to self...
What if the water falls
and the drops are sharp enough
to tear a hole in me
What if I harvested to soon
And the flowers never bloom
am I brave enough to wait and see
Sincerely, yours truly
thanks the stars for every
sparkle that’s come my way
So dearly, it came clearly
At a price I’m willing to pay
...for a new day.....
Note to self...
So what if I fall
the Earth’s not home to catch me
and I land on a doubt, in to space
Or if the Sun shines
And the rays force the darkness out
That’s what’s it’s all about , anyway
To whom it may concern, scratch that page
Your scars will remember that you’ve forgotten your cage
Sincerely, yours truly
thanks the gods
for lifting me up, every step of the way
So dearly, it came clearly
at a price I’m willing to pay
for a new day
for a new day

Spellbound
04:00
|
|||
|
Darkness loves her and she dances with it,
like a lover in the moonlight and
It's kind of crazy when you think about it like
When the song takes over and the shadows run for cover and ...
Refrain
And it's been so long,
since anyone's held me spellbound like this
And so long, since I let myself be held onto, ohohohoh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh, yeah.
Yeah yeah yeah
Her touch is poison but I can't live without it,
like a glacier when the heat rises … and
It's kid of crazy if you think about it,
when a fire sparks a meadow and a rainbow after the wind blows
Refrain
Spellbound, enchanted, captivated, enthralled,
like a lover when the thought rises….and
It's kind of crazy while you're noticing it,
like searching for the answers while your heart is beating faster
Refrain
Oh I don't know if I can feign control
Oh I don't know if I can feign control
No I don't know if I can feign control
Yeah yeah yeah

The Next Thing
03:53
|

|
Love is a fool, just a messy game we played
Honey playing with you, and losing every hand
But when you hold me close enough I'm
I'm fool enough to believe the lie
Refrain
But deep down inside I know, you're moving on to the next thing
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Love is a fool, just a big ole waste of time,
honey ain't it the truth,
I’m losing everything that's mine
But when you kiss me deep enough oh I'm
I'm fool enough to believe the lie,
Refrain
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Such a fool, I don't want to say goodbye
No one can love you quite the way that I
I know as soon as I let my heart go
You'll go on to the next thing
Yeah, yeah yeah yeah
Now I ain't no fool, nobody hurts me like you do
And now my hearts on the floor cuz I opened up to you
You don't want to let go, there ain't nothing here for you tonight
You better believe, better believe, I'm moving on to the next thing
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah

Chaos Incarnate
03:43
|
|||
|
Well, this ain't no ballad it's an angry song and I need to tell it while I'm feeling stuck.
I wanna break things open and destroy something beautiful! I feel like Chaos incarnate and I want to do wrong!
Well, I'm sick of keeping secrets and I'm tired of telling lies, of giving subtle hints while I'm watching time fly..
I wanna break things open and destroy something beautiful! I feel like Chaos incarnate and I want to do wrong!
I wanna burn down bridges and bring on hell, I feel it building up inside I'm really scaring myself
I wanna break things open and destroy something beautiful! I feel like Chaos incarnate and I want to do wrong!
ahhhhhs
I wanna run the streets naked pull my hair screaming and shouting, and I want to rip open the package and let the poison out!
I.....I.....I..... YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?
I feel like chaos incarnate! and I want to do WRONG!
Now listen...
Guilt don't bother with me, and I don't bother with it so you better cover your weak places cuz I don't give a SHIT!
I wanna break things open and destroy something beautiful! I feel like Chaos incarnate and I want to do wrong!

Wishful Thinking
04:35
|
|||
|
I ain't never been this happy
Ain't never felt so free
So many things in my life going right
I just might decide to keep on living
Shit ain't never been easy
That's a half a truth
This is my pie in the sky
Do or die wishful thinking
Then one thought leads to another
To right back where I began
‘Cos joy and pain dance together
Hand in hand
chorus
Is this is my pie in the sky, do or die
Or just some wishful thinking?
Ya ain't never been this happy
Ain't never felt so free
So many things in your life going right
I hope ya keep on living
'Cos shit ain't never been easy
'least, not for you.
C'mon, D
You know it's true
Then one thought leads to another
To right back where I began
‘Cos joy and pain dance together
Hand in hand
And if my heart is broken
And all of the pieces
blow to the wind
Maybe my heart has spoken
And it's time for a new day to begin
Is this is my pie in the sky, do or die
Or just some wishful thinking?
