Vicious Cycle
03:58

|

It doesn't matter if they listen
it doesn't matter 'cause you know
converting fools is not your mission
just know when to let it go
it doesn't matter if you're pretty
it doesn't matter if you're not
but it could matter if you pity
and help the ones without
it doesn't matter if you're heavy
don't let them tell you that you're not
worthy of love or dignity
never carry yourself with doubt
and it's a vicious cycle
outcome's on the way
for the desperate gambler
in a fixed poker game
it doesn't matter if you're shy
and it don't matter if you're wild
all that matters is your honesty
so you can look 'em in the eye
it doesn't matter if you're lonely
always a spot on the boat you share
when it's time you'll leave a vacancy
hopefully, with room to spare
and it's a vicious cycle
outcome's on the way
for the aging loser
who's out of work again
for the harmless dragon
punished for his flames
for the person of color
who's been martyred in vain
for the disillusioned people
of a country in shame

The Haven.

What a blast
To see your friends every night
All the times we had
Oh, they felt so right
I knew I had
To find the girl of my dreams
Was it simpler then
Or is that just how it seems?
Metal to Mellow
Metal to Mellow
At the Haven
Lonely to lovin'
Lonely to lovin'
At The Haven.
She took me home
To meet her mom and dad
Was it true love then
Or just a sign of the times?
Way back then
I new I couldn't write this song
But I'm older now
And those days are so long gone
Metal to Mellow
Metal to Mellow
At the Haven
Lonely to lovin'
Lonely to lovin'
At The Haven.
Present to memory
Present to memory

I'm Not Mad
02:40

I'm don't care
and I don't share
and I don't say a word
I don't see why it has to be
so goddamn absurd
I don't look
but I mistook
a woman for a man
I don't pray
but I have to say
I try to understand
You tell me your secrets
You show me your plans
you couldn't believe when I said
I'm not mad
I'm not sure
but cause of war
most often oil and prayer
even though we see
it doesn't have to be
a divide world we share
Wedded bliss
doesn't have to exist
between a woman & a man
Though we may stray
it's ok
biology of man

I Will Protect U.
02:24
|

Injustice met with rage
Your anguish sets the stage
For those who'll corrupt your path
To surely incur my wrath
Solidify my stance
Ask you for a dance
Never overbear
When you need me, I'll be there
I will respect you
I will protect you
Keep you from harm
I will protect you
Cherish your charm
Hold you in my arms
I will protect you
You know
when all is said and done
all you have to do
is be yourself for me
the best you can be

Fell the Fool
02:31
|

Taking time to look for love
just isn't the way
though you feel you need someone
gotta find that love today
You need to know the time will come
when you least expect
so stop your crying and dry your tears
'cause loneliness will pay its debt
and I fell
in love again
Fell
the fool again
'cause you know there's good & bad
inside of everyone
gotta keep that bad inside
& show it who's the stronger one
and I fell
in love again
Fell
the fool again
I know what it's like to reach the end
you feel there's no more rope
you gotta climb past
be your own friend
'cause that's your only hope
Taking time to look for love
I guess it's just my way
but now I've seen days gone by
I'll never have again

you.

Every night I go to bed
Dreams of you
Are in my head
Every day I walk that walk
But inside
I know I shouldn't even talk
And I think that I should get used to life without you
Before I go to sleep
I pray the Lord
You're mine to keep
And if you need to be alone
I'm only as far
as your phone
But I think that I should get used to life
Without you
'cause I can't stop thinkin'
'bout you
You.
I hate playing this game
I should just
Ask you your name

Say a Prayer
02:19
|
|||
All these questions
I'll never learn
The answers to my problems
Are in my own
Insecurities & values
And in my debts
By divine forgiveness
I am healed
Say a Prayer
for all the ones who love you
and will always be there
Wait for me
by design religion
isn't all you
really need

Emerge

I know
I feel it too
Tensions' grown between me & you
I know
I'm scared too
This isn't one you just get through
It tears me up inside
It's never right for a man to hide
surrender my guilt to you
I already know what you have to do
How - do I tell you?
Belief I sold you
were lies I made true
naive, a 'we' emerged
Not the plan I thought I knew
pick up again & start anew
another mark on the sly
take it all, maybe say "goodbye"
It tears me up inside
It's never right for a man to hide
surrender my guilt to you
I already know what you have to do
How - do I tell you?
Belief I sold you
were lies I made true
naive, a 'we' emerged

Plenty of Broken Hearts
02:38
|
|

I'm losing my head
I'm losing my mind
I'm losing all the things that make true
Happiness defined
I'm losing my pride
I'm losing myself
She's taken all I have to offer
My soul to sell
And I don't mind
As long as she comes
Around for me
And I don't see
Love is blind
And that works for me
She's got Plenty of Broken Hearts
She plays the game
And knows the names
And she knows where to start
A fool thinks he's ahead
she's left them all behind
She's taken all the things that make true
Happiness divine.

Prolong.

Love is only real
if it trembles through your veins
you're about to start
with a brand new heart
mended though it feels a strain
from pullin you back when you're dyin'
'cause you never learn
this foolish time you're buyin'
simply prolongs the hurt
Lookit you're true to form
down to your last nerve
crash into a wall
Tragedy that you've earned
Love is only real
when you feel it
could be someone you barely know
there's no denyin
Offer your heart to steal
make it's beat vulnerable
a tempo that speeds
to a limit that feeds
on loves' improbable
