-Lyrics- There’s so much to say, but I hear static on the line. Baby you’re breaking up, as we are breaking up what I still can’t define. There’s so much to say about the way you rule my mind, but I just can’t compete, so I’m stuck out on the street trying to pass the time. Now this alleyway is all mine. Now this alleyway is all mine. I’m out of time. I let my hair grow too long. She’s the one I blame for making me insane. Now I know I was wrong. I’m out of time. I pulled the line for too long. It’s just not the same singing in the rain when you’re alone. But I hear the circus calling me home But I hear the circus calling me home Yes I hear the circus calling me home. Yes I hear the circus calling me home.

Hold 05:02
Intro: Ooh Ooh Ahhhh Ahhhh Verse: My story doesn’t stop, The light that we held for so long Why is it ceasing Memories of good, Talking through the late night Forgot about breathing PreChorus: Oooh Ooh oh oh, Ooh ooh oh oh My desire is still longing Chorus: You’re the one i want to hold Please be the one I want to hold Verse 2: Its just a question, Take my words for granted I hate the all tension You cover up you’re sadness, I’ve expressed it all towards you Did I forget to mention PreChorus: Oooh Ooh oh oh, Ooh ooh oh oh I'm recklessly taking my chances Chorus: You’re the one i want to hold Please be the one I want to hold Outro: Oooh Ooh oh oh, Ooh ooh oh oh Oooh Ooh oh oh, Ooh ooh oh oh Oooh Ooh oh oh, Ooh ooh oh oh Ooh Ooh Ahhhh Ahhhh Ooh Ooh Ahhhh Ahhhh

Home 05:00
-Lyrics- Don’t wait, for all the answers, you never know until you try Have faith, use your mind, and learn how to live your life Ooh (2x) Just have, a sense of love, protect yourself from falling down Don’t use, what you want, just believe in what you have and what you don’t Ooh To go by, people without knowing, all they thing they’re showing We must know To follow, everything I believed in, everything I’ve surrendered I must go alone Where we can, take of our disguises, live with no surprises It’s this place that I call home We can understand To go hand in hand You can walk to your Home sweet home To live by, everything I’ve followed, everyone that I know of I can’t be alone I’ll show you, place with no distraction, love turned into action You can follow me home To follow everything I believe in, everything I surrender We must know That one place, where hearts can have no problem, sense of peaceful tone It’s this place that I call home Ooh (4x)

-Lyrics- Verse | If I look At the crystal moon, at the red branch And think of you The touch of your hand Ill climb up your lips So tender and sweet, hopefully with me, Our love so bliss
 My hopes like fire Not cold but warm No one can reach it Its blocked by my door But yes im ready Im forgiven of sin My love and fears can all be replenished again Chorus | If you forgot me If I forgot you (2x) Forgot who i was Bridge | I want you to know one thing You know how this is (like 6 times!)

Letters 04:08
Verse1: I wrote to you today Just to get my point across Some letters on a page I know some make no sense at all Interlude oooh oooh ooh (4x) Verse 2: I hope this gets to you These times are hard to bare Used to be easy to write Now it’s even hard to stare Chorus: This might be hard for me to say This might be hard for you to hear This might be hard for me to say I think I have changed I hope you understand Verse 3: I wrote to you today Thought of all the ways you are Some letters on a page Hope that someday is not to far Chorus: This might be hard for me to say This might be hard for you to hear This might be hard for me to say I think I have changed I hope you understand

Pages 03:33
-Lyrics- Verse 1 | Read me like an open book, tell me what you see Flipping through the pages back and forth for hours and still you have no clue
 of.. Chorus | You don’t know (3x) who i am Verse 2 | no diamonds in the rough, no chapters to sort it through you think you have found but you still don’t know me I’m winding down you winding up the dolls that will not move to make a point to show me how, you do what you choose

Trembling 05:21
Intro: OOh Ooh ooh oh Verse 1: There’s a silence in the crowd, there’s a silence in me Starring through my soul, starring at my feet I never thought the day would come to be That this time is only meant for me (Intro) Chorus: Its trembling to be apart Of something that you can’t explain It’s trembling to be the part Of something that you can’t explain (2x) Verse 2: There’s something inside, inside of me That needs to break out, that needs to breathe Can’t figure it out, why can’t you see That this time is only meant for me Chorus: Its trembling to be apart Of something that you can’t explain It’s trembling to be the part Of something that you can’t explain (2x)

Common Sense 04:24
Intro: *Some whistling action Verse 1: I pulled off the string I cut down the rope I couldn’t tell why All the truth was unknown The Lack of a Cause A time for reason What I didn’t know I should have listened to what’s been told Chorus: Common Sense is breaking us down We only know what We only see Common Sense is breaking us down We only know what We only see Verse 2: My fingers were crossed He said I was fine But I fell to the ground No more time for excuses I tried again This time was good I conquered my fear But shortly realized my lively-hood that Chorus Common Sense is breaking us down We only know what We only see Common Sense is breaking us down We only know what We only see Bridge: I thought I was To good for you But time, made the world stand still I thought I was To good for you But time, made the world stand still Chorus Common Sense is breaking us down We only know what We only see Common Sense is breaking us down We only know what We only see Outro: *Samoa Whistling Action

about

This album is stated as it is called. Other than "Common Sense," i wanted to just give something out there of my original songs and how i usually present it live. I have pressed record and did some fine editing but not to the point where i am frustrated one note is off. I wanted that raw feel for it. Reason why it is free as for right now. Some songs, as stated in the lyrical comments, are professionally done.

Here's the huge plan. I want to kickstart myself. Don't know what that means. Go to Kickstarter.com to find all there is to know about kickstarter. Reason why I am doing this: I don't have money to go into the studio for each song, I want to do full band for each song (YES EACH SONG!), and i want to give something out that i can say "man....this is accomplishing" in the aftermath of it all.

So, I am asking you (eventually) to help me out.

More details soon.
Thanks so much for listening, liking, and sharing with your peeps.

Deuces.
