The Rescue 03:29
The Rescue -------------- The grey clouds hover You're the lover of the rain Head full of noise heart full of Boys you can't explain Splintered courage Tears marching out to turn the tide You're small The world is wide That's right hold tight First light I'm coming to get you Hang on stay strong Not long I'm coming to get you The candles flicker as you Kick your broken chair No understands no gentle hands To hold your hair Weathered wonder Fears talking trash to pure desires A true soul in a land of liars That's right hold tight First light I'm coming to get you Hang on stay strong Not long I'm coming to get you Word is at home you weren't held as a child You got out on your own and you went pretty wild Screw the guilt and shame for the trips and falls Get your boots on and kick down the walls The world is your oyster The world is your enemy That's right hold tight First light I'm coming to get you Hang on stay strong Not long I'm coming to get you That's right hold tight First light I'm coming to get you Hang on stay strong Not long I'm coming to get you

King & Pawn 04:27
King & Pawn --------------- Good day my name is L And things are good and life is swell My house is falling down The river's high we all may drown The weight is crushing Endless responsibilities Eternal rushing King have mercy on me Your pawn I'd like a loving touch A soft escape is that too much A girl a soothing song So help me God my motive's wrong The roof is leaking And I'm trying so hard to be the man It's peace I'm seeking King have mercy on me Your pawn Mine is dead but your love Lives on Look at the lake Soak in the sunset Need some every day To still my soul In circles turning It tastes like burning King have mercy on me Your pawn Mine is dead but your love Lives on King have mercy on me Your pawn Mine is dead but your love Lives on

Firefly 04:01
Firefly ------- How I wish you had some Solace from this problem They may not show their love But you still love them Strange seeker Sing always Sounds as divine Go forward You must move onward Do they mask you again burn on my friend Like a firefly Firefly I can only wonder Cuz I've been blessed and lucky And their punishment Weighs heavy on your psyche Don't crumble Stay humble Lean on this love Go forward You must look upward Do they mask you again Burn on my friend You're a firefly Firefly Go forward You must move onward Do they mask you again Burn on my friend You're a firefly Firefly yeah

Miseries 03:18
Miseries ---------- I wanna touch you wanna love you But I can't achieve it I wouldn't be afraid If I could shake this evil spirit So inconsistent A blithering misfit The past took a piece of my heart Inside and out you know you are The beautifullest creature But baby doll Your leading man lives in a different feature I'm sorry to tell you That I've been through hell You can't save me you might as well stay I've such a long way to go To shake these miseries and grow I've such a long way to go Too fearful to finish To start I've such a long way to go To shake these miseries and grow I've such a long way to go To shake these To shake these To shake these To shake these Miseries These miseries

Peetie 03:47
Peetie ------- I am a sad symphony Sparrow she fell next to me I picked her up so carefully And held her to my breast The dark angel tapped his feet And paced up and down the street But I wouldn't let her go Into his evil nest I'll make her smile For just a while Meaning to life Meaning to life Meaning to life Meaning to life A newspaper blanket works For all of us gentle jerks The whiskey and a paper bag To help me come to terms My love shines a faded glow Poor sparrow she shivers so I got no bread and I need some dough To buy a bag of worms I'll stroke her wings See if she brings Meaning to life Meaning to life Meaning to life Meaning to life Meaning to life Meaning to life La la la La la la Meaning to life La la la La la la Meaning to life La la la La la la Meaning to life La la la La la la Meaning to life La la la La la la HEY!!!!!!!!

Jesica 03:31
Jesica -------- Sitting on your couch you flash me The bluest brown eyes Hearing all your hurts well it pained me And how I wished that I could heal you Jesica I'm holding out a hand of friendship So what I sew I'll reap Jealousy was all I ever had before But nothing I want to keep Looking back in time to the day The camera captured Beauty fun and smiles you gave me An I'm so glad I'm living feeling Jesica I'm holding out a hand of friendship So what I sew I'll reap Jealousy was all I ever had before But nothing I want to keep Jesica I'm holding out a hand of friendship So what I sew I'll reap Jealousy was all I ever had before But nothing I want to keep Bet ya didn't know you were so powerful So flowerful and beautiful Bet ya think that I'm a crazy man Well maybe I am Jesica Jesica Jesica

Pretzel 03:33
Pretzel -------- I'll make a pretzel do the twist May take a razor to my wrist Behold my loaded gun My bitter blood will run And poison everyone She kissed I'll make her memory disappear Fall hard upon my Britney spear With a needle in my eye Choking down a glass of lye This wicked world can cry Or cheer Something's gonna happen to me now Something's gonna happen to me now Peace would fill my cup If I could just grow up Something's gonna happen to me (and here it goes...whooooo) Something's gonna happen to me now Something's gonna happen to me now Peace would fill my cup If I could just grow up Something's gonna happen to me Something's gonna happen to me Something better happen for me!!!!! Oh yeah Oh yeah Oh yeah Oh yeah Oh yeah, etc...
