In the Darkness
Music by Annmarie Montade
Lyrics by Jon Cooksey
Performed by Mackenzie Phillips
Premiered in 1.01 Family Reunion


Demons come from every side
In the darkness is the light
Pullin’ me on a downward slide
In the darkness is the light

Gettin’ hot the deeper I go
In the darkness is the light
Into the darkness down below
In the darkness is the light

Now the ghosts come dancin’ by
In the darkness is the light
Outta the shadows of my life
In the darkness is the light
All of my losses, none of my wins
In the darkness is the light
Why do I have to face ‘em again?
In the darkness is the light

I live my life in one straight line
The future ahead and the past behind
Don’t wanna go back to yesterday
But I don’t know how long I can run this way
Yeah!

A jungle hung with tangled vines
In the darkness is the light
I’m tangled up in my own lines
In the darkness is the light
A creature in the darkness lies
In the darkness is the light
Why is it that he has my eyes?
In the darkness is the light

I’ve lived my life in one straight line
The future ahead and the past behind
Now I’ve hit a wall like I never knew
And they tell me that the only way out is through you

They say the truth will set me free - yeah
In the darkness is the light
Free to be down here on my knees - yeah
In the darkness is the light
But just when I thought I’d lost my sight
In the darkness is the light
Catch a glimpse of that beautiful light
In the darkness is the light

In the darkness is the light
Surrender will win the fight
This girl’s walked on fire and ice
But I come out on the other side of Paradise
Oh yeah Paradise
Yeah, yeah
My Paradise!
Is here with you
Is here with you baby
Paradise, Paradise
Oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah
Paradise


More Like a River

Music by Brent Belke
Lyrics by Jon Cooksey
Performed by Mackenzie Phillips
Premiered in .03 Memory


There’s a motel in Texas
Hard bed under wide blue sky
Had a dream there
The morning came too soon
I rolled over
I said it out loud
I said give me one more moment
Just one more moment
To finish this dream

I wanna be
More like a river
And less like a wall
Not try to hold back these feelings at all
Cause when I miss you
When I’m dying to kiss you
I gotta to let that flow
More like a river

There’s a house in the mountains
Filled with bits of me and you
I had a dream there
The morning came too soon
I’ve been holding on
It’s been holding me back
I don’t want to give in
But I know what you’d say to me
Finish this dream

Can I be
More like a river
And less like a wall
And not try to hold back these feelings at all
Cause when I miss you
When I’m dying to kiss you
I gotta to let that flow
More like a river

Cause in the morning
There are kids and dogs
And bills and sunlight
And a new day
And a new day
And another new day...without you


Rebecca
Music by Annmarie Montade
Lyrics by Jon Cooksey
Performed by Mackenzie Phillips
Premiered in 1.09 Rebecca


Rebecca moves across the world
She’s a scirocco on the sand
She is the Nile that flows forever
Cutting a wound across the land
She’ll be your friend before you know her
She’ll have your trust before it’s earned
But like any nomad she will wander
Breaking the hearts of all concerned

History clouds what we remember
The one that you wanted her to be
Mystery shrouds her like an island
But it’s an island in a lonely sea
Oh, Rebecca
Oh, Rebecca

I was thirteen going on forty
Wasting my summer on the beach
Burned on the outside, raw in the middle
That Molly’s just too hard to reach
But Rebecca moved in, yeah she moved me
She was the best friend I’d ever had
And then one day she went away
Didn’t think I’d ever feel that bad

Where did you go?
Why did you lie?
Why did you leave without saying goodbye?
How ‘bout the promise
That you made me?
Was it really so easy to trade me
For another town
Another friend
Another beginning without any end…

So many times I would’ve called you
If I’d had your number in my hand
You were the one I would’ve turned to
When things didn’t go the way I’d planned
I never got a chance to tell you
Things didn’t go the way I’d planned...

History clouds what I remember
The one I wanted her to be
Mystery shrouds her like an island
Does she still remember me?
My life is like a turnstile
So many strangers passing through
There’ve been more than I can number
But I still remember you

Oh, Rebecca
Oh, Rebecca
