Come on, show me whatcha got, got
Slip inside, get on in from the outside
Come on, show me whatcha got, got
Slip on in to the inside
You don't wanna see it
You'll never believe it
I can't blame your hesitations
I can't blame your decisions
Make up your mind
Like today there's no other way to play
You don't wanna see it
You'll never believe it
Come on, show me whatcha got, got
I don't care, it's time to make your move
Come on, show me whatcha got, got
Oh, whatcha got, got
Like today there's no other way to play
You don't wanna see it
You'll never believe it

Poor Boy

And here we said that you could never play
With the words that meant so much to you
So many times you tried to get your way
As we left you building your hate
The child that you hold so dear inside
Never truely liked us anyway
And here we always played without oh you
‘Till the sun decides to go away
Sulking from the words, so cold
And here you wanted a breath of fresh air
That I couldn’t give to you
Like so many times before
Proven through and through
How could we be so hard, oh on the boy
Such a nasty way to live in hate
How could we be so mean, oh to the boy
He offered us so much we wouldn’t take
He offered us so much it’s our mistake
Why do I wonder where you’ve been
When I’ve got so many troubles of my own
Would you care to listen
Where do you get off spelling it out
Talking about right here let’s figure it out
Right now, let’s figure it out
And here you wanted a breath of fresh air
That I couldn’t give to you
Like so many times before
Proven through and through

Sleep some tonight, don't you worry
Life's not anything your meant to not realize
I'll get the lights, you close your eyes
Soon it'll be time to awake, to live your dreams
Twice I see and yes twice I do
Twice you've looked and I still haven't pulled through
So many ways, so many days
So many times before I get it my, myself
My, myself
In life we just might build a future
Together our hopes and dreams we fantasize
It's a reality we can calculate
Together we're destined to live our dreams
These dreams, your dreams
Why can't I seem to lift this haze
It's blocken the world from your view
Like a spell that's cast on you
Here's a melody ta break your blues
Sleep more tonight, don't you wake
there's no reason ta twist and turn
I'm right here sitting by your side
Watching all over you all by my, myself
All by myself, all by myself

Sliver

With another day, I’ll arrive
Maybe we’ll dance, tonight
Tease a little, one to the other
When will we ever realize
Now we’re trapped in the light
So many times, I find I’m hanging on
To what I can’t explain
Could it possibly be your hand
A touch held so dear, so near
Would you like to play around this world with me
Would you like to play around this world with me
Would you like to take my hand and play around this world with me
Would you like to understand and play around my world with
Oh with me
Oh with, me

Find Away
03:38
|

I find myself looking, staring down, stumblin’ around
I find myself just tryin ta, ta find a way to you
Please don’t misunderstand, when I can’t speak to you
In this life I call mine, just tryin ta, ta find away

Johnny
04:15
|
|||
Once I saw a face in the dark, he turned and looked at me
So broken, so serene, you know, might as well be me
So alone in his own world, counting the paces between
The first shot, as he fell between the seamless seams, but
Johnny boy
Wasn’t quite like the rest
Just a little complicated
So Johnny he left for town, on his own two feet he went
Passing the miles by, in hopes of a new life he found
Nothing but more of the same, it’s not what you would think
To be true in a world like this, in a world like this, then
Johnny, he cried, he claimed
There’s got to be another day for this and for me
So I’ll give you my hand in hopes that you’ll understand
That he’s just a regular ordinary man
Living in his empty yet hopeful life, he’s lead only to believe
Ta fall silently asleep, but
Johnny Boy
Wasn’t quite like the rest
Just a little too devoted
So here it all ends, he’s simply a boy
He’s clinging to his best defense for, for awhile
Johnny, who is it you are hiding from

Seven
03:03

Why do you say, that the world isn’t ever really, really what you thought it was
Why do I try, ta change your mind cause your so lost in it all
Why do I see everything but a mind with many capabilities
Why do you deny, your place in this space here you wanna cry.
Could you ever be my friend, all the possibilities
Do ya hear, my words, ringing clear now
Then I tought that you would never care
Would you, could you
Then I saw that you were never there
So blind, so fried
Then I saw that time was on my side
Night and day, your lying anyway
Would ya like to know, a little something about ta grow
About ta go
About ta go
About ta go
About ta go
About ta
What do you mean, when you glare at me with those staring deep, glary eyes
Only another way to show, that inside outside can’t you ever really grow
Did you ever think, I wouldn’t notice

It All
05:12
|
|||
Before I set off to go can I leave you with just one, just one kiss
It's to show you my other side
Thoughts for the way you look at me with
With those clear blue eyes, mid summer’s sky
It won't be long till the winter's cold rain and snow has come and gone
Ah yes, it's come and gone
But looking up, up ahead I can't clearly see
Could it be the trouble that I've been waiting ta meet
A distant image I’ve been seeing in my troubled sleep
Why won't you now oh step up before me now
And tell me what it is that your so frightened to repeat
Oh could this, yes could this, oh could this be the last time we meet
Why do we hide what it is that we should really say
We've built this silence here for, for so many days
For so many days, here we go
Why can't I, say what it is that you mean to me
Why can’t I, tell the world what ya mean to me, I
I wanted it all, all from you
I wanted it all, all from you, from
Why can't I, I say what it is that you mean to me
Why can’t I, I tell the world what ya mean to me, I
I wanted it all, all from you
I wanted it all, all from you, I
I wanted it all, I wanted it all
I wanted it all
I wanted it all

Solitude
04:44
|
|||
Once in a while I get shown so many places I might no, no never know
Like the day that I came running with the thoughts of yet another place
Inside myself, I can’t run, reaching out holding on, left undone
Crazy’s all I hear, relax ya know your time is getting near
In my heart I cry
Yes I cry
Now I see myself in such a way, that I really don’t care don’t
Don’t care to say hey, to what it is that drives me to my place
Breath in, silence all around
Ya know it’s here I’m going
It’s here I’m coming down
Now I find that sometimes I don’t, don’t really care
What it’s all about, so much useless talk
Breath in, realize your fascinations
Ya know that life’s too short, don’t let it pass by
Now I see myself in such a way that I really don’t care don’t
Don’t care to say hey, to what it is that drives me to my place
Breath in, silence all around
Ya know it’s here I’m going
It’s here I’m coming down
In my heart I cry
Yes I cry, tears and tears
In my heart I
In my heart I cry

Could We
02:29

When the world was better than it could ever be
When the world was brighter through your seams
When the world was a place of mystery, could we
In the face of another tribulation, I fight through
In the face of another situation, I play the fool, just for you
Just for you.
As another truth falls far from your desire
As another drop painstakingly fills
As another hit takes us, we’re drawn apart
And it’s here we continue, continue to realize
Find another place in your heart to dwell
Our shall I say, defend
Just once before, before we come to an end
Could we possibly sing of a better place maybe, of a better time
When the world was better than it could ever be
When the world was brighter through your seams
When the world was a place of mystery, could we
Seemed like, like my last lover said, could we, she said be true
As another truth falls far from your desire
As another drop painstakingly fills
As another hit takes us, we’re drawn apart
And it’s here we will follow, forever seeking the end

CANNING Chicago, Illinois
We deem to explore our music and portray a song in its rightful place, at least for that given moment. Through the years, it’s been noticed that many times we do not play the song, moreover, with the elasticity of time...the song will play us...
