Well it’s been some time Since I dropped that line Asking what you thought of me And now I’m waiting here Hoping that I hear Back from you this century I know it caught you off guard But it’s not too hard For you to just say yes or no Please end the suspense And I can dispense Of not knowing how this will go Tell me What’s on your mind Girl what you thinking Cause I gotta know You might think I’m nuts But it took some guts To ask you out on a date Now I’m sitting around While the sun goes down Yeah it’s getting pretty late I don’t wanna lose hope But this feels like nope I’m quickly reaching my wits end Come on give me that call Tell me once and for all Do you just wanna be friends

Sunshine 03:06
You I thought you were in my past Thought I had finally seen you go at last But you You just keep leaving me aghast Trying to come back into my life so fast Leave me alone Leave me alone I’m begging you Please go away I don’t know what to do Sunshine There’s no sunshine There no sunshine When you’re around You You made my life a living hell Not into you I guess you couldn’t tell It’s you It’s against you I must rebel I need you gone, so long, goodbye Farewell

She was an ordinary girl He came here from another world Light years had separated But their love had been fated The cosmos had written their song He showed her things she’d never seen She showed him just what true love means Time came for him to depart She knew deep down in her heart That she would have to go along And so she said goodbye To all she knew that night A new life she would live Built on the love he’d give Together in this fight When worlds collide He brought her to his family home She found it like nothing she’d known A strange land with stranger customs They found no one would trust them Fueled by a fear of the unknown And so they said goodbye To all he knew that night A new life they would live Built on a love unhid Together in this fight When worlds collide He trusted her, she trusted him Searching for someplace just for them They searched the star charts far and wide Finally making love their guide Out in the outer rim they found A backwater moisture farming town There they found no one questioned Their love they knew was destined And it was there they settled down They’d never have to say goodbye Always together through the night This new life they would live Built on the greatest gift Together in this fight When worlds collide

I’ve got something to say to you I think it’s time to say we’re through I’m sick of all your crazy talk I think it’s time for me to walk I’m sorry but there’s nothing I can do I don’t feel the same way that I did I don’t want to keep these feelings hid I’m tired of you being round An ah ha moment I have found To you adieu I think that I must bid I don’t wanna want you anymore Don’t you try to change my mind No longer wanna say you’re mine

Saw a flyer for a haunted mansion Couldn’t help but feel something was wrong Is there something to fear I hope there’s nothing to fear All my friends said they were going So of course I couldn’t not go along There’s no reason to fear I’ve got no reason to fear But after waiting in that long line From The second we went inside I wasn’t having a good time I can hear people screaming It’s Just Part of the show Running round with no meaning It’s all part of the show Doors are locked there’s no leaving It’s just part of the show Air fills with smoke lungs are heaving It’s all part of the show I saw a couple people bleeding People lying on the floor half dead I think there’s something to fear Oh yes there’s something to fear And then I heard the roar of the demon Summoned from hell, get him out of my head There’s something to fear I’ve found there's something to fear I think that I have reached the end now If I manage to survive somehow I’m taking that flyer down Ghosts and goblins surround me It’s just part of the show Spectral visions astound me It’s all part of the show All of my friends are dead now It’s just part of the show Is this all in my head now It’s just part of the show Evil laughter is booming It’s just part of the show Irrational terror looming It’s all part of the show I try to keep my composure It’s just part of the show But as I reach my life’s closure Find it’s not part of the show It’s not part of the show It’s not part of the show

If my life was a news story It would be about a girl Reports coming in from sources found around the world Written underneath a southern skyline The story of my heartache would bear her byline And the headline would read love at first sight Never thought in a million years that I would see her there But the moment I saw her at that show I became aware That she could be the one that I'm looking for The one I'm destined to love and adore I wish that I could find out more But she She lives so far away And the thing about her is She may not feel the same So she’s got me sayin Coulda been girl baby Why can't you see You don't know what you're Doin to me And I just keep on crying As I just keep on tryin To make it so that You're my girl and That's how it should be Together forever now Just you and me That would be so perfect Now don't you think it's worth it My coulda been girl

That Band 02:54
You were the best band around Such an original sound Loved every time that you played Every one of your shows slayed I never thought the fun would end I’d love to hear those songs again To feel that rush like I did then I wish that I could see that band again You know I’ll always miss you You were like nothing I’d heard Knew every note every word Can’t believe it’s been so long Since your last show your last song I miss your music’s warm embrace You made the scene a better place And you can never be replaced I wish that I could see that band again You know I’ll always miss you Nothing to prove right from the start Every album a work of art You’ll always live on in my heart I wish that I could see that band again You know I’ll always miss you

Angel Green 02:37
Driving alone one night My gps was telling me I should make a left Something didn’t feel right But I did it anyway and almost led to my death There in Arkansas I wish I’d gone in any other way Can’t say what I saw But it’ll haunt me til my dying day Angel Green Angel Green Angel Green Angel Green’s welcoming no one Angel Green Angel Green Angle Green’s got me on the run Visions of unearthly terrors Were filling my emotions with a sense of unease Just simply being there was More than any mortal should ever dare to See Can’t explain at all An indescribable ghoulish display It held me there in thrall Don’t know how I ever got away Angel Green’s welcoming no one Angel Green Angel Green Angle Green’s got me on the run No thought of turning back I made my way back to the interstate But later when I checked my map There was no town or city by that name Angel Green’s welcoming no one Angel Green Angel Green Angle Green’s got me on the run And I never wanna see that town again No I’m never going to that town again

When I log in All that I see in my feed Is all my friends turning on friends Nobody wins When all they feel is a need To point the blame, ready aim send Cause back in the real world Our planet continues to turn And back in the real world No one wants to watch it burn I don’t wanna live I don’t wanna live Don’t wanna live in a divided world Remember when We used to talk things over And then we’d reach a compromise Why is it then Things have turned so much colder And everybody’s choosing sides Cause back in the real world Everyone’s not just like you And back in the real world Our differences are what makes you you

Insane Love 03:03
I don’t wanna think about the way you used to make me feel Cause those feelings that I thought you shared were nothing real Now I’m looking back in hindsight 20/20 Vision oh so clear And I’m seeing all the lies in all the words I thought sincere Love is forever or so I thought But just not for you your lesson taught Try to pick up all the pieces of my shattered life But my movements are restricted by your backstabbing knife Was I insane Was I insane Or was I just in love How was I so blind to not see right through your bullshit Only hearing what I wanted while you fed me words that fit Analyzing all the nonsense makes the nonsense make such sense I cant point the blame at you to avoid my own penance Wanted so much to feel your love Opened my heart to your stiff shove Got what you wanted then you hung me out to dry Now your gone and I’m still here wondering why Was I insane Was I insane Or was I just in love Shouldn’t have been so hard to do Put so much work into loving you Nothing but torment til the day you were gone But now it’s over I hope I can move on Was I insane Was I insane Or was I just in love

Her bed should be somewhere safe But for her there’s no escape Cause it takes her to the place Where she comes face to face With the man in her dreams Always a step ahead it seems Her terror grows to extremes Her bedroom echoing with screams She struggles eyes so heavy now Reciting over and over Don’t fall asleep Don’t fall asleep You know that’s when he will come Her friends have been dropping like flies Seems each day another dies Can’t make her mother realize The truth she just drinks and cries So she fights to stay awake Knowing just how high the stakes Coffee and caffeine pills she takes It’s only time before she breaks It’s getting harder not to give in She just keeps saying over and over Don’t fall asleep Don’t fall asleep You know that’s when he will come To live she comes up with a plan Sets out to make a final stand She must go where this all began To finally catch this madman She pulls him out and finds a way To fight and keep him at bay She turns her back and takes away Any power to him she gave But is it really over now Or should she just keep on saying Don’t fall asleep Don’t fall asleep You know that’s when he will come

Shy Away 03:50
Silent as you walk away Can’t find the words to say You said goodbye tonight But I’m still puttin up a fight You shy away When I call your name You shy away You shy away When I call you name You shy away I can’t believe it’s true Never dreamed I’d lose you Took you for granted so long Too late I see where I went wrong You shy away When I call your name You shy away You shy away When I call you name You shy away It’s in times like these you know True feelings will always show And I realize I’m not prepared to let you go You said goodbye tonight It’s time for me to give up the fight You shy away When I call your name You shy away You shy away When I call you name You shy away
