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. 02:30
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 At The Haven Coffehouse

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

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

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. 03:07
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 02:41
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

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. 03:19
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 " "
