My Sweet Emily

♫ My Sweet Emily – Erised http://spoti.fi/185Tuv1 http://routenote.com/r/Erised/5051813587214

My Sweet Emily

Travelin' down this dusty road,
never knowin' what you might find,
glad for this fork in the road,
you're always on my mind...

(Chorus): And we go walking,
Always hand + hand,
Spend the time talking,
you make me a better man...

My Sweet Emily, My Sweet Emily...

All you do in this life,
can't help it, makes me smile,
our joy cuts through the strife,
you make my life worth while... (Chorus)

Grateful our chance has begun,
all I want is to dance with you,
the best thing I've ever done,
was getting to meet you... (Chorus x2)

Happy Birthday to Jeff & Steve

Happy Birthday to my band mates Jeff & Steve (yesterday & thurs next week)!!! I wish you guys all the best...

Raindrops

♫ Raindrops – Erised http://spoti.fi/1iiINIt http://routenote.com/r/Erised/5051813587214
Raindrops

Every sweet word you say,
Every little thing you do,
My love burning for you,
Every caring kiss,
Every sunny smile,
I will always be true.

There is nothing that I'd rather do,
than dance through the raindrops with you...

Every sweet word you say,
Every little thing you do,
My heart beating for you,
Every longing caress,
Every "I Love You,"
I'll be here waiting for you.

There is nothing that I'd rather do,
than dance through the raindrops with you...

There is nothing that I'd rather do,
than dance through the raindrops with you,
Time after time you're the one that I choose,
I'll always dance through the raindrops with you...

Every sweet word you say,
Every little thing you do,
My love...

Mr. Nice Guy

♫ Mr. Nice Guy – Erised http://spoti.fi/H4uzyY http://routenote.com/r/Erised/5051813587214
Mr. Nice Guy

I was thinking the other night,
When did my lying begin?
Always tried to do what's right,
there I go failing again.

(chorus) How much more smiling will this take?
I'm so fake, to the point I break,
Try to be nice for nice sake,
But I try... Mr. Nice Guy.

Should this be my cross to bare?
to have you as my friend,
it's hurts too much for me to care,
there I go failing again.

How much more smiling will this take?
I'm so fake, to the point I break,
Try to be nice for nice sake,
But I try... Mr. Nice Guy:)

There I go failing again...

Show Me

♫ Show Me – Erised http://spoti.fi/18KBIiq http://routenote.com/r/Erised/5051813587214

Show Me

I cannot calm the rain
I cannot warm your pain
Why do you keep on counting on me?

I cannot erase your hate
I cannot face your fate
Why do you keep on counting on me?

(chorus) Why can't you show me your weakness?
Oh and let yourself go...
Are you afraid to show me?
Because I already know...

I cannot be your faith
I cannot save your grace
Why do you keep on counting on me?

I cannot break your chains
I cannot change your ways
Why do you keep on counting on me? (chorus)

Why can't you show me your weakness?
Oh and let yourself go... show me, show me your weakness,

Are you afraid to show me? Let yourself go

Because I already know... show me, show me your weakness

Why can't you show me your weakness?

 Because I already know...

Doppelgänger

♫ Doppelgänger – Erised http://spoti.fi/1aEi0SI http://routenote.com/r/Erised/5051813587214
Doppelgänger

How did you disappear?
Who was that by your side?
Which one of you was real?

You both moved as one
I could see her move my love
Harbinger of death
Or a doppelgänger in my head

One of you grew tired
The other stared at me
As I tried to touch the phantom
I am haunted by your face
A face stained and bleeding
With sadness in your eyes

You both moved as one
I could see you move my love
Harbinger of death
Or a doppelgänger in my head
In my head…

You said you saw her too
Just before the end
When she took your life from this world

You both moved as one
I can see you still my love
Harbinger of death
Or doppelgänger in my head
In my head…

A ghost rider comes my way
I see you dressed in black
A glimpse into my future
It is you that I see...

Harbinger of death
Doppelgänger in my head
In my head…
Which one of you is real?

Fallen Star

♫ Fallen Star – Erised http://spoti.fi/19peG27 http://routenote.com/r/Erised/5051813587214

 Fallen Star

Standing up at the water’s edge,

Pushed me too close to that tempting ledge,
Now we’re strangers, it feels so rough,
Left with fears I wasn’t good enough…

Fallen > Star >

Damaged, feeling so dead inside,
The pain of being cast aside…

Fallen > Star >

(Chorus) Brothers Compromised,
Prophesy of lies, Drowning Eyes,
However, Bright you are, Fallen star…

I need to let go, to move on,
Thoughtlessly gone, you were depended on,
Offended, wronged, betrayal deep,
You’ve changed brother, the real you sleeps…

Fallen > Star >

I want you to suffer as I,
A love, closeness I was denied…

Fallen > Star > (Chorus)

The words you preached were never true,
Music, it seems still escapes you,
Rhythms you’ve lost in broken time,
Under the Water’s Icy Rhyme…

Fallen > Star >

Ego made you unable to see,
Angry there is no room for me…

Fallen > Star > (Chorus)

Better

♫ Better – Erised http://spoti.fi/1b3QgZg http://routenote.com/r/Erised/5051813587214

 Better

Hello important,
could you give me your time,
You have the world around you,
Hello rich man,
could you lend my your dime,
Why could I not be you?

Is it only win and there's nothing better?
And you've nothing to lose,
I hate it when you're always better,
Envy bleeds on through...

Shatter me softly,
Sweep me away,
It might just be better that way,
You have no chains,
Chains that bind you,
I'm still not better,
What can I do?

Is it only win and there's nothing better?
And you've nothing to lose,
I hate it when you're always better,
Envy bleeds on through...

It's only win and there's nothing better,
And you've nothing to lose,
I hate it when you're always better,
Envy bleeds on through...

No More Return

♫ No More Return – Erised http://spoti.fi/HaJur8 http://routenote.com/r/Erised/5051813587214

 More

(Chorus)
More, more, more…

I need it, I want it, to taste it, to love it,
All through me, above me
Can I have some more? (Chorus)

You need it, you want it, to taste it, to love it,
All through you, apart of me
Do you want some more? (chorus)

Guns & Gears

♫ Guns & Gears – Erised http://spoti.fi/1aVJW5P http://routenote.com/r/Erised/5051813587214
Guns & Gears

Guns + Gears,
confused profiteers,
a grandson's fears,
an old man's wasted years...

(Chorus) Guns + Gears spin around, but never touch the ground,
Dying ears don't hear, when we all fall down,
Sons + fears are here, getting lost in the sound,
Of the Guns + Gears, spinning round + around...

Rain champagne,
On a cocaine train,
Killing is profane,
It’s painted on my war plane... (Chorus)

Maniac Jack,
Cadillac smokestack,
Devil’s contract,
For a broken soundtrack...

Guns + Gears,
Confused profiteers,
A grandson's fears,
An old man's wasted years... (Chorus)

Wasting Time

♫ Wasting Time – Erised http://spoti.fi/1fFM6fJ http://routenote.com/r/Erised/5051813587214
 Wasting Time

When I sit around,
I'm just wasting time,
it's the life I know...
And the night is slow,
I won’t leave my home,
it's the life I know...

(Chorus) But I'm wasting time...
everything's left behind...
something precious I can't find...
a dream I can call mine...

It's my own damn fault,
I won't rise above,
it's the life I know...
I fear things will never change,
Empty hope remains,
it's the life I know...(Chorus)

But I'm wasting time...
a dream I can call mine...
But I'm wasting time...

time will heal our wounds

♫ time will heal our wounds – Erised http://spoti.fi/1bxQGb9 http://routenote.com/r/Erised/5051813587214
time will heal our wounds

Broken spirits lie,
Under the feet of disarmed pride,
Losing everything,
Not even seeing reasons why.

(Chorus)
Things will never be the same,
No one left to blame,
My body burning,
On the flame,
Time Will Heal Our Wounds.
Please hold me,
Oh can’t you see,
A mother’s arms shouldn’t,
Be empty,
Time Will Heal Our Wounds.

Choices were mine to make,
Never thought your love they’d break,
The distance begins to grow,
I didn’t know my heart would ache.
(Chorus)
