ALCHEMY
written and composed by M. Myszkowski
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I will tear through the spaces in between
All this that's keeping you from me
All these miles and days, times that fade
and all the silly games we play
So shake me out
These ideas I have are dangerous
Shake me out
These plans I have could bring the whole thing down
Yeah, I could just ride it out
but waiting has never been my style
all this life and death, he said she said
and all the thoughts run through my head
So take me out
These ideas I have are dangerous
Take me out
These plans I have could bring the whole thing down

Blood
written and composed by M. Myszkowski
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The liquor had me turning into someone I didn't recognize
The drugs turned you into someone I didn't like
Though I wish there was still a way to check out of this mess for a while
I try
Not to go down dead end roads I've been down before
Not to test the lessons that I payed for in blood
Old friends in new skin, you're a different person, so am I
It makes me want to turn back time to before we knew what troubles lie behind the years
Back in the day you were someone I idolized
How was I supposed to know that you felt the same
It's not like when you left you even said "goodbye
Still, I try
Not to go down dead end roads I've been down before
Not to test the lessons that I payed for in blood
Old friends in new skin, you're a different person, so am I
It makes me want to turn back time to before we knew what troubles lie behind the years
In the same breath you tell me
That I could never understand
But you've got some words of wisdom for me
Let me know you think that
The spotlight had me changing in some ways you don't appreciate
Yeah, your approval means the world to me, it's only a little late
Everything you're afraid of - take your broad brush and paint - me
Yeah, I'm sorry but…
I don't go down dead end roads I've been down before
I don't test the lessons that I payed for in blood
Old friends in new skin, you're a different person - so am I
I finally like myself quite well just one of the perks of coming home from hell
Close the door behind you
If you're not coming back
Close the door behind you
If you're not coming back

Church Bells
written and composed by L. Dragtoe and M. Myszkowski
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tourists & cigarettes
Mixed emotions & regrets
Follow through the heavy door
Price to pay just like before
Church bells singing to the street
Hollow hearts & concrete feet
You may say I’m only sleeping-
Don’t ask me silly questions I won’t play those stupid games
I may not pass inspection & I may not fit this frame
True Love is all around you- just as simple as it seems
You may say I’m only sleeping but I’m living in a dream
Heaven wears a thin disguise
Daylight chasing butterflies
Breaking down these chains of fear
Never gonna catch me here
Church bells always sound the same
Know my face, forget my name
You may say I’m only sleeping-
Don’t ask me silly questions I won’t play those stupid games
I may not pass inspection & I may not fit this frame
True Love is all within you- just as simple as it seems
You may say I’m only sleeping but I’m living in a dream

BLUE WATER
written and composed by B. Whelan and M. Myszkowski
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I lost my father
to the waves of the ocean's teeth
I'll fall no longer
to the tale at the sirens' feet
I'll call my lover
to the shores of the distant sea
where hope, child, and patience
will keep our own company
She's the blue, bluewater
and I'm the ship that's sinking in
Singing Oh
I've fought the current
To heed those that come and go
I've lost before this
But now my tale begins to grow
She's the blue, bluewater
(you'll find me at the bottom with a drink in my hand)
and I'm the ship that's sinking in
(singing songs from my father's land)
she's the blue, bluewater
(you'll find me at the bottom with a drink in my hand)
I'm the cup she's drinking in
(singing songs from my father's land)

GREEN JEWEL
written and composed by M. Myszkowski
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sometimes all we need's to get lost for a while
Sometimes all we need is to leave it all behind
Sometimes all we need's to get lost for a while
Sometimes all we need is to leave it all behind
Deep in the heart of the city sleeps,
with the trees and the deer and the birds and the bees
The potential that grows unheard and unseen
While the rivers underground wait patiently
A green jewel
in this concrete chaotic catastrophe
Throw it all away and come dance with me
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Heaven
written and composed by M. Myszkowski
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Put your arms around me
And hold me tight
Just a little bit harder now
With all your might…
I suggest
That you never let me go
Because I
Might as well die
Da da da die
Da da da die
Right here in your arms tonight, baby
Da da da die
Da da da die
Right here
I wanna be enveloped
In your soft skin
I wanna drown
In your ocean…
Waves “hello”
As you're drawing me in
And I know that
I would be luck to die
Da da da die
Da da da die
Right here in your arms tonight, baby
Da da da die
Da da da die
Right here
Here
There's all this commotion
There's all this fear
In the world around us
But not right here…
I sit
As you take me to heaven
and I know that
I would be lucky to die
Da da da die
Da da da die
Right here in your arms tonight, baby
Da da da die
Da da da die
Right here

Little Spells
written and composed by L. Dragtoe and M. Myszkowski
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Every day the sunlight castin’ little spells on me
Make believe
I believe
It was meant to be
Living through these moments that collide in space and time
‘Got no time to waste on sadness
I’m the only one ‘brings me down
And I won’t get sad
And I won’t get sad
Because-
I’d rather be happy
Every night the moonlight castin’ little spells on me
Make believe
I believe
It was meant to be
Living through these moments that collide in space and time
‘Got no time to waste on sadness
I’m the only one ‘brings me down
And I won’t get sad
And I won’t get sad
Because-
I’d rather be happy.

Lost

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
All
My life
Spent following the blind
I know it's hard to describe
But I've felt empty inside
Since I
Quote:
“Opened up my eyes”
And left you behind
Alone
Maybe you'll never see it
Maybe you'll never know
Peace
Of mind
That I found in the hurricane's eye
I know it's hard to decide
Whether you will run
Or Hide
Either way, you're in denial
Maybe you're better off
Alone
And I don't know
If you were ever really there
But it's all the same
Maybe you'll never see it
Maybe you'll never know
Face it
You're lost
Face it
You're just like me
Do you feel dirty now
Are you so unclean
Coming to terms with how you're lost like me

MOUNTAINS
written and composed by M. Myszkowski
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fire
Coursing through your rivers
Your mountains fall, your plains all crumble
Termites
Try to dig right into you
Your branches fall, your roots all crumble
Please
Fall into a dream
We can't bear to hear you screaming

NASHVILLE
written and composed by M. Myszkowski
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Drive on down to Nashville is 13 hours long
I can't wait to stretch my legs and hold you in my arms
We made it through the night and now the sun is burning bright
People sleeping in the streets recovering from last night
The police man says there's a whole lot of dope smoking going on
But it's too damn hot to do a thing about it, so he's just gonna sit and say
Mhmmm
So we take a walk down Broadway, hear that telecaster twang
Spillin' out onto the streets and making everybody sing
Mhmmm
If you're too damn drunk or you just don't know the words
You don't have to sing along, no, all you gotta do is say
Mhmmm

NDS

Thank God for my bad luck
It's never steered me wrong
Thank God for my bad luck
Some Folks got none at all
When walking in circles trumps walking the path made for you
The new deadly sin has gotten the best of you
So go on, blame God for your bad luck
I'll make my very own
Fists shaking up at the sky
'Til you pass on
This is Sodom, this is Gomorrah, it's true
But there's no lake of fire, or lightening crashing 'round you
The new deadly sin is wasting away like you do

NEW LIFE
written and composed by M. Myszkowski
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here it comes, chemical darkness
Kicking in
Coming up slow, inevitable
From within
T minus 10, 9, don't mind me, I'm feeling fine
8, 7, 6, 5 just get me out of here alive
Tides rise, close my eyes
Deep breath
Waves climb, my hands are tied
I accept
4, 3, 2, 1, no, I'm not gonna run
Waves breaking on the cliff, let's just get this over with
Here it comes, chemical darkness
Kicking in
Coming up slow, inevitable
From within
"Oh Lord, not again, I will not feel that way" I said

SUNFLOWER
written and composed by M. Myszkowski
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sunflower that tower over me
Look what I can do
Strawberry, treasures buried in the dirt
Look what I can do
You're not looking, no, you're not looking, no
You're not looking, no, you're not looking down
And I'll bring you a paper ring to
show you that I care
And I'll marry, It's not scary
Forever's just today
You're not looking, no, you're not looking, no
You're not looking, no, you're not looking down
Forever's just today
Forever's just today
Forever's just today

Wings
written and composed by M. Myszkowski
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
You say you wish you were here
But you're not
And your “I wish you could see this place”
Doesn't help
And I could never clip your wings
But is it so bad that I want to
They say "if you love it, let it go" but it's not that easy
And I know that I said
That if you fly away
That I'd be alright
But then you disappear into the clouds
And I notice I lied
And I would never clip your wings
But is it so bad that I dream about it
They say “if you love it, let it go” but it's not that easy
You put me back together when I'm falling apart
And “heart” might be a better word to rhyme with that part
But my heart cannot do justice to how deep I feel you in my soul
Blood
Pumps through my veins
Until the day it stops
And when my bones have turned to dust I know this love will not
Be
Forgotten
Will not
Be
Forgotten
Until the day I die
I'll watch you fly
