One More Sweet Taste 03:39
lyrics

I can't feed this addiction I can't beat it into submission More, give me what I crave for More, one more sweet taste Heaven help me, you know I don't God save me, you know I won't More, give me what I crave for More, one more sweet taste La, la, la, la It's what I know of love I stood by and I watched love wane I did not revive it, I did not complain I did not call out though I knew love's name I cannot survive the blame La, la, la, la It's what I know of love

The Lesser Of Two Evils 03:33
lyrics
buy track
I've got to chose between the right side and the left Between the absolute and an unassuming guess I've got to chose the lesser of the two evils I've got to chose between the bottom and the top Flying over the edge or down a bottomless drop I've got to chose the lesser of the two evils The lesser of the two evils The lesser of the two evils I've got to chose between the front side and the back The over achievers and those left behind the pack I've got to chose the lesser of the two evils I've got to chose between the inside and the out Between a sure thing and a shadow of a doubt I've got to chose the lesser of the two evils The lesser of the two evils The lesser of the two evils I've got to chose between some darkness and some light Should I turn the other cheek or should I stand and fight I've got to chose the lesser of the two evils The lesser of the two evils The lesser of the two evils

Room for Two 04:20
lyrics
buy track
Don't want to be your hero Heroes meet with untimely ends Don't want to be your savior Saviors never had too many friends Don't want to be your conscience And make all of your amends Don't want to be your wasteland A wasteland could never be a home Don't want to be you badlands And hide all of your old bones Don't want to be your barter And pay back all of your bad loans How can I fit inside that box your in Is there room enough for two Or is there just room for you

Alive 04:17
lyrics
buy track
My hands they hurt working My eyes are sore from looking My body's tense from aching And I am tired from running My mouth is bound from speaking My feet are bare and walking My body bleeds, it is weeping But I, I am still full of cunning I could fall in and out of shadows Just as I was light I could rise to the occasion Rise and fall in stride I am conscious of my conscience I am alive I am alive Your hands they shake from fumbling Your eye strain is disarming Your body breathes, it is charming me But I, I am only watching I am only watching I am only watching We could fall in and out of shadows Just as we were light We could rise to the occasion Rise and fall in stride We are conscious of are conscience We are alive We are alive

Too Far Gone 03:52
lyrics
buy track
There's water down in the wishing well I tossed a coin and it fell and fell Some say it fell straight through hell And made it out just to tell the tale The story of being bought and sold The tale of youth and of growing old Growing old Growing old Some are right, some are wrong Some are weak and some are strong Some are meek, some are bold Some will do just as they're told Some are too far gone Too far gone Too far gone They're too far gone I pulled the rope and I raised the pale The water was brackish and dark as ale Some say it clearly reflected hell Others said they just couldn't tell The story of swollen thirst and drought The tale of flames and of burning out Burning out Burning out Some are right, some are wrong Some are weak and some are strong Some are meek, some are bold Some will do just as they're told Some are too far gone Too far gone Too far gone They're too far gone Some are right, some are wrong Some are weak and some are strong Some are meek, some are bold Some will do just as they're told Some are too far gone Too far gone Too far gone They're too far gone

Water Into Wine 03:49
lyrics

Who can turn this water into wine 'Cause I ain't got a dime My bottle has run dry My bottle has run dry Who can turn back the hands of time Because I've lost half my mind My eyes have run dry My eyes have run dry Everything has hit the fan And it's blowing all around Everything has hit the ground It's laying there and scattered all around I don't have nothing left here to believe in My bottle has run dry I keep spitting into the wind And I've never had an ear to lend My mouth has run dry My mouth has run dry Who can turn this water into wine Who My bottle has run dry My bottle has run dry Everything has hit the fan And it's blowing all around Everything has hit the ground It's laying there and scattered all around I don't have nothing left here to believe in My bottle has run dry

So Sorry 04:19
lyrics

You call me And pretend to be my friend But you are reveling In what has already seen its end Baby, I'm so sorry So sorry for words Baby, I'm so sorry Too sorry for words They tell us That it's all gonna be okay But we know better We have already seen our day come and go Baby, I'm so sorry Too sorry for words Baby, I'm so sorry Too sorry for words So don't call me on the phone When I'm sitting here trying to be on my own It's too late to start treating me kind You've already wasted too much of my sweet time I was always there waiting But you were never around I can't keep picking you up When all you do is keep putting me down I bet you are so, so sorry for words Too sorry for words I bet you are so, so sorry Too sorry for words

The Real World 05:08
lyrics

Mama wasn't like the ones I'd see on TV Daddy couldn't give me all the things I's see Brother didn't look out for and watch over me Sister never saw all the things that she could be Here in the real world Here in the real world I grew from a baby Into a little girl Here in the real world Here in the real world High school was a diploma called a GED College was the real world university A PhD in the food service industry Earning minimum wage for a my masters degree Here in the real world Here in the real world I grew into a woman And lost that little girl Here in the real world Here in the real world Employment didn't pay the bills Boyfriends kind of lost their thrill Baby came, it all stayed until Music gave me back a little bit of my free will Here in the real world

Come To Pass 04:11
lyrics
buy track
It's cold out there In here it's pouring rain The flows like tears Winding rivers down the window pane There's cracks in the paint Where it spelled out your name I scratch it away with remembrance I know I'll never see you face again The sun use to shine through that window Where all the shadows seemed so tall As the sun would move through the sky The shadows would follow its crawl Time did teach me How it passes, how it calls But when I look back on it now It seems time never went by all Time can be cruel Time can be kind Time can come back to haunt you With your very own Time can be fleeting Time can stand still Time has come to pass And pass it always will Pass it always will

It Ain't Over Yet 02:32
lyrics
buy track
You keep walking away Like it was just another day But baby, it ain't over yet You keep looking away Like there was nothing left to say But baby, it ain't over yet No we won't set the world on fire From the heat of our passion and our desire We could starve and then retire But honey, it ain't over yet The clock keeps ticking away Its face said all there is to say But honey, it ain't over yet Honey, it ain't over yet
