Ashes Anyway

Fire! Do I feed it or stamp it out? Fire! You struck that damn match when you walked out! The choice remains: Do I step out from the flames? Or do I pull you in here with me to dance on in the blaze? By the time, by the time the story's told we'll be ashes anyway! Forgiveness may set you free but revenge is so sweet. Fire, burning up my heart and mind! Fire steals your heart and then it robs you blind! Fiery tongues lick my wounds and stir my pain, But blood and tears can't hold a candle to this rage! By the time, by the time the story's told we'll be ashes anyway! Forgiveness may set you free but revenge is so sweet. By the time, by the time the story's told we'll be ashes anyway! Forgiveness may set you free but revenge is so sweet. ** Even better with music: Butcher the Baker .

Running on Empty

Daily grind: Not all that hard but damn boring. When did life lose all its colors? What am I searching for and when will I find it? It's not that I need something new around every corner (I'm too old for that), but I need a little something more to care about or I just won't care at all. Life is more, oh, so much more than I'm living! Pursuing dreams means so much more than I'm giving and I don't know how to live life to the fullest when I'm running on empty! Close your eyes: What's left when you are all alone? I close mine: So rich the colors! It's the choice that's so hard; when will I make it? I've got more talents than I've any right to have and blessings overflow my cup, but I need a someone to steer me true or I just won't steer at all. Life is more, oh, so much more than I'm living! Pursuing dreams means so much more than I'm giving and I don't know how to live life to the full...

Chasing Hypotheticals

I'm winded -- chasing hypotheticals. I'm winded -- they run so far so fast. I'm wounded -- by our missed opportunities. I'm wounded -- by dreams that might have been. What will you be to me tomorrow? (Today you mean nothing at all.) But there is something inside me that makes me question myself. Who could I be with you tomorrow? (Today I mean nothing at all.) I wonder -- if grass is green where you are. I wonder -- will my thumbs tend or bruise? I torture -- myself creating fantasies. I torture -- the world oscillating. What will you be to me tomorrow? (Today you mean nothing at all.) But there is something inside me that makes me question myself. Who could I be with you tomorrow? (Today I mean nothing at all.) [bridge] Today I mean nothing at all. ** If you haven't already caved to my requests, make it up to me by LIKING the band that added a melody to these lyrics: Butcher the Baker .

Tell Me Something

Tell me something -- something I shouldn't know. Don't waste my time now -- I can't take that from you. To act so proper feels a bit like a sin. How can you small-talk me when you know where we've been? I've tried and tried to walk away and maybe will someday. So, what happened to the intimacy? We used to make love; now you won't look at me! Tell me what I did so I can make it right. If you deny me, then I'm leaving tonight! I've tried and tried to walk away and maybe will someday. [bridge] To act to proper feels a bit like a sin. How can you small talk me when you know where we've been? I've tried and tried to walk away and maybe will someday. ** Another great tune from Butcher the Baker (LIKE us on Facebook).

So Much Soul

You get up; I lie down. You throw all of your fortune around, but my fortune's not money. No, my pockets are empty. But my spirit is moving and I got so much soul. I lie down; you get up. Put a little more drink in this cup 'cause I just can't be sober until this night is over. But my spirit is moving and I got so much soul. [long instrumental break] I get up; kick you out. There will be no more fooling around 'cause I wasted too much time. Gon' get on with my own life 'cause my spirit is moving and I got so much soul. ** Another awesome tune from Butcher the Baker . If you haven't liked us yet on Facebook, do yourself a favor and get on that. :)

Feed Me Lies

Forget the truth; just feed me lies, 'cause lies are all I have to hold onto now that that truth is that you're gone. Who went and told you you could leave when I was not done needing you? I'm not strong enough alone! Who will save me now from myself? This tortured heart will pull me under. I'm drowning in myself and there's nowhere to hide. How cruel this joke that says that I need your help to get over you! Will I ever laugh again? When I was young, you told me: "Want it bad enough and you can have anything!" All I'm wanting now is you! Who will save me now from myself? This tortured heart will pull me under. I'm drowning in myself and there's nowhere to hide. One day, maybe, I won't need you standing beside me holding hands. But that doesn't mean I won't want you still! There's so much doubt in this head of mine and my heart isn't quite ready to find a way out of it on my own. Who will...
