| Free Form Flex | In my life, I wonder why My eyes are as blue as the sky Many questions left unanswered Like the moves of a ballet dancer Why do we start losing our hair? What makes it so hard to breathe in the air? Desperate to know what answers we may find That can only be seen through the eyes of the blind But when this world stops spinning There's nobody who could go on living Because everything's become a mess And we see the free form flex Everyone wants to have a good life A job, some kids, and a beautiful wife But what happens when you come up next You get the free form flex The future leaves us in despair Where will we be in only a year? Life takes so many twists and turns The only way to live is to learn Never mind, think about now Live our lives the way we know how What we know and what we don't Draws the line for those who won't But when this world stops spinning There's nobody who could go on living Because everything's become a mess And we see the free form flex Everyone wants to have a good life A job, some kids, and a beautiful wife But what happens when you come up next You get the free form flex I know it's hard, but still I try It's all I can do until I die The full story is miles away Too much to handle just today But when this world stops spinning There's nobody who could go on living Because everything's become a mess And we see the free form flex |
| World In Our Vision | I wish that everything were as in my dreams The world would be at peace, and we live at ease The war will soon be over from nuclear fission And the world will be reshaped in my vision Nobody will suffer, we'll all be happy If only we could see things as we wanna Before this can be, we all must be sorry For all we've done to the iguanas We can build rainbows Across the deep blue sea One day we'll see the world we believe Will be good for you and me Imagine if we never fought in wars Our lives would be normal, our speech so informal Innocent people would be safe and sound Not fighting where their bodies wouldn't be found Why do people fight over silly things When we can live in peace? There's hope that the future brings Just watch the flying geese We can build rainbows Across the deep blue sea One day we'll see the world we believe Will be good for you and me So much damage has been done by our peers That cannot ever be undone We must come together and face our fears Before it becomes safe for no one Learn from mistakes that others have made In order to protect our home If nobody's careful, our planet will fade And crack like styrofoam We can build rainbows Across the deep blue sea One day we'll see the world we believe Will be good for you and me |
| The Love Was Lost Duet with Emma Button Written by Emma Button |
E: I thought you were the one for me. It was our future together, We loved to forsee. But now I see what you’ve been doing, Baby boy why did you do this to me? D: Baby girl, you got to listen to me. There are some things, That you just don’t see. Baby girl, it wasn’t me! (chorus) E: I know things haven’t been the best, But I didn’t know I was in a contest. D: I don’t know why you wont listen, You know I love you, You’re so beautiful, I love the way you glisten! E: I though you were the one for me, And now I really see, What type of boy you are! (end chorus) D: She won’t listen to me, I’m just going to drive away, I wont go back today. If I did, I don’t know what I’d say! E: I don’t know how this could have happened, I thought I was the one for him, I thought he was the one for me, I thought he really loved me, Our chances are now very slim D: Now I know what happened, Now I got the explanation. She’s just got to hear it from his mouth, So she will know the truth, I will tell her, In a quite diner, In a booth. (chorus) E: I know things haven’t been the best, But I didn’t know I was in a contest. D: I don’t know why you wont listen, You know I love you, You’re so beautiful, I love the way you glisten! E: I though you were the one for me, And now I really see, What type of boy you are! (end chorus) (bridge) E: You show up in my dreams, You don’t know, How you hurt me so. I’m all alone in this world, Not a soul but me, But I know its my fault, I’m sorry, You see (chorus) E: I know things haven’t been the best, But I didn’t know I was in a contest. D: I don’t know why you wont listen, You know I love you, You’re so beautiful, I love the way you glisten! E: I though you were the one for me, And now I really see, What type of boy you are! (end chorus) |
| So Sad, So Lonely | I'm sitting here Wondering where I've been Around me are some unfamiliar scenes It's late at night And I'm feeling cold Tell me, when did my life turn so extreme? I wish I could turn back time And see what should've crossed my mind But now I find myself with regrets What did I do to get into this mess? (Chorus) I'm so sad, so lonely I wish I knew what I did wrong If I can't change what's been said If I can't make a difference in my head I'm so sad, so lonely I wish I could feel happy soon Save me from this despair And make my life worth living this June Now as I sit in despair I think of those I wish were there And why we had to drift into thin air It's a sad and lonely time As wayward thoughts enter my mind We long for the days when they weren't so unkind (Repeat Chorus x2) (Long guitar solo) (spoken word verse) I've never before been so lonely, so sad This is the worst time that I've ever had Please, one more day to let suffering end And bring my life back onto the mend (silence) It's a sad and lonely time As wayward thoughts enter my mind We long for the days when they weren't so unkind (Repeat Chorus x2) |
| Faceless Crowd | Standing in a room full of strangers Looking for sign of hope Nobody around us that obeys us Nobody within the length of a rope The sight by the door's kinda blurry I can make out the clothes that they wear Pushing through the crowd in a hurry Trying to make our way safely there Chorus: In a faceless crowd, everyone is no one We have no names, just another human being In a faceless crowd, silence is the key When you hear a scream from the sting of a bee (guitar solo) In an unfamiliar setting like right now Nobody knows us, they weren't allowed It's always tough to make a first impression But we try, as we may, not to frown The faceless crowd blurs in front of us And I hear someone calling my name As much as I try, I don't know the face They blend right in, so who's really to blame? (Chorus) Another day, and more of the same A faceless crowd around, nobody knows my name I've seen stranger things, but nothing like this When my eyes blink, tell me what did I miss? (guitar solo) (Chorus) |
| Lyin' In The Sun |
It's summertime, and we're free from the stress Just put an end to that long, hard big mess Time to relax, and enjoy our free time And pour some drinks of tequila with lime We get on the beach, and lay down for a while Enjoying the sunshine, and the pretty girls' style Let's jump into the lake, and splash passers by Build a sand castle three hundred feet high We spend our days just a-lyin' in the sun Where the weather is hot and we can have some fun All day long, we're still lyin' in the sun Our time here has only just begun (instrumental interlude) The heat is turned up, we're ready to go Sweat's pouring over like raw cookie dough Spike the ball over the long, tall net Are we having enough fun just yet? Plop down a dollar at the hot dog stand Squeeze on the ketchup, and dip in the sand It's the time that we never want to go away We'd love to, but for too long we can't stay We spend our days just a-lyin' in the sun Where the weather is hot and we can have some fun It feels so nice just a-lyin' in the sun Our time here has only just begun Cause when the summer sunshine ends We don't feel like going home Can't think of anything else right now Except I hope nobody stole my cell phone We spend our days just a-lyin' in the sun Where the weather is hot and we can have some fun All day long, we're still lyin' in the sun Our time here has only just begun |
| I Made It Hard For You To Love Me (Lizzie & Dr. C) Written by Lizzie |
(Lizzie) Never knew for sure what my intentions were Must have wanted you Must have been alone The first time you took me in I felt overwhelming gratitude How was I supposed to feel (Lizzie) I made it hard for you to love me... (Lizzie) How could I behave in any other way Still I felt afraid at a shattered time I tried to hide my fears I got the same result through every try Oh dear, I wonder why I made it hard for you to love me... (Dr. C) Why don't you ask yourself what the hell are you crying for? are you crying 'cause I'm leaving you I don't want you anymore? Are you crying for our broken home? the picket fence, burned down hours ago it was just a stupid bet what the hell are you crying for? (Lizzie) Never knew for sure what my struggles were That I learnt to know That I'm not to count You poke me at my weakest spots Cursed me at my lowest point So, is it you or really me (Together) That made it hard for you to love me... |

Hard To Swallow |
When things are coming And it's all too fast The free form flex is gone In a big mental blast I'm so overwhelmed Awake and confused This isn't a joke I'm no longer amused It's so hard to swallow Everything around Hard to comprehend In this mix of sound And when it's hard to swallow Exhaustion sets in Take me away now Before my head spins I'm about to choke Can hardly breathe Call an ambulance Before my soul leaves Help me, save me I don't want to die Give me one last chance Before I say goodbye It's so hard to swallow Everything around Hard to comprehend In this mix of sound And when it's hard to swallow Exhaustion sets in Take me away now Before my head spins How can it all fall apart Right before my eyes? It's not my fault here I don't want to see you cry All of these signals Coming from afar What could they mean From up in the stars? It's so hard to swallow Everything around Hard to comprehend In this mix of sound And when it's hard to swallow Exhaustion sets in Take me away now Before my head spins |

Fullness Of Sound |
The fullness of sound surrounds
you The thumping of bass abounds you It's our time to rock the house Strong enough to stir a mouse We're back, ready to play our game Dr. C and the Predicates is our name Everybody feel the power of shock Strong enough to melt a rock When the sound stops, the party goes on It captures us all from dusk till dawn Nothing can stop us from having a good time Not even the twelfth ringing chime Filling up the room Hear the bass go boom That's what it's all about Bringing them together No matter the weather The power of sound makes us shout Neighbours can't sleep We even moved the sheep As much as they resist We'll make them twist If you can't hear us now You must be dead But once you wake up You'll be moving your head Filling up the room Hear the bass go boom That's what it's all about Bringing them together No matter the weather The power of sound makes us shout |

Sentimentality |
Standing at our favourite street
corner A girl's walking by Try to catch her attention But she's wandering so cluelessly Turning the page to the next time Same place, same time, same atmosphere But no evidence has turned up No evidence at all Every day, it's always the same No luck except bad luck Like taking out the laundry And forgetting that it's inside out Taking a step in the sunlight Watch as it fills the air And now we fade into darkness It's all blinding as the sky turns black Sliding away in the rain Watching the cars as the light turns red Push on the gas and go straight through The sirens are blaring on the other side Sentimentality Going back to happier days When everything was beautiful And there were no responsibilities It all seemed so big In this world that's so small Open up this suitcase And toss it all onto the floor And it just burst this bubble And it's going to start a chain reaction So watch your step Or you'll get your foot blown off Later on under the moonlight It feels a lot like déjà vu The same girl from that street corner Sitting alone on the park bench Hands just waiting to be touched Exposing the view of a tattoo Blurred to the eye, but clear to see Her heart's been broken too many times Back to work on a Monday morning The feeling's the same as I type my number The days when we could live care free Bring out this sentimentality Sentimentality Going back to happier days When everything was beautiful And there were no responsibilities That was then, and this is the present Nothing can change who we are Turn on the TV, the evening news Brings a shock to our faces this one last time Sentimentality From the familiar scent of home cooked food Makes us realize no matter the change Some things always remain the same |

Scrambled |
Hey you What do you think you're doing Sticking a fork in the ceiling Now it's crumbling and peeling Hey you Take a little time You've got your own reasons But can you handle mine? I've been scrambled Up and down Inside I make a smile But you see it as a frown I've been scrambled Can't read my mind Hold me up Just don't push from behind Hey you Peeking under your skin Not at all prepared With what you see within Hey you Smell the fresh air There's a whole world outside Just to make you aware But how aware can I be When what's around is not what I see? I've been scrambled Up and down Inside I make a smile But you see it as a frown I've been scrambled Can't read my mind Hold me up Just don't push from behind Slap me in the face And change my point of view I'm tired of all this Don't care if I turn blue Knock me down to the ground Tie me up with a string Spin me around and around Until I can't see a thing I've been scrambled Up and down Inside I make a smile But you see it as a frown I've been scrambled Can't read my mind Hold me up Just don't push from behind |

Flooded In Emptiness |
Flooded in emptiness That's what we are Can't see a thing From near or far Flooded in loneliness Nobody's around Can't hear a thing Devoid of sound We all know What we're feeling Reaching up But there's no ceiling Come on, help us We need some advice Got out of it once But can we do it twice? Flooded in numbness There's no reply Can't move a thing No matter how we try Flooded in silence Faster than light beams Can't hear a thing Not even a scream We all know What we're feeling Reaching up But there's no ceiling Come on, help us We need some advice Got out of it once But can we do it twice? Flooded in nothingness Passed out on the floor Lost all consciousness Right out the door |
| 6.
Not Like You |
Don't try to read my mind And speak on my behalf You don't know how I feel You don't know what makes me laugh You think you know it all Even when I tell you no Stop what you're doing now And drop your arms way down low You say things have to go this way But you can't tell me what to say Admit it, you lie But how can you deny I'm not like you I'm not like you You can't tell all my friends I've gone a different way Don't know how the story ends But all I know is I will stay When I go, don't say a thing I'll be watching you Don't be stealing my ring Or your fingers will turn blue You lose my trust, now you will pay I'm not like you, now go away! You say things have to go this way But you can't tell me what to say Admit it, you lie But how can you deny I'm not like you I'm not like you You say you never let me down But you can't get rid of this frown Admit it, you lie But how can you deny I'm not like you I'm not like you Remember how I was ten years ago? I'm not the same person you knew The marks on my face have healed I'm stronger now, you know it's true So take this card and run away Have some fun, go out and play If you can't get it right Then get out of my sight! You say things have to go this way But you can't tell me what to say Admit it, you lie But how can you deny I'm not like you I'm not like you You say you never let me down But you can't get rid of this frown Admit it, you lie But how can you deny I'm not like you I'm not like you |

His Name (Othello) |
He sat upon his bed Thinking of the things That they screamed and said He knew he had to run That his time had come He just wanted to be dead He left a note on the wall Took a lasting look Before he left it all Kissed his sister goodbye She couldn't see him cry To her he would always stand tall [Chorus] Don't you say his name You can't hurt him now He won't come home again He's happy now Don't you call his name He's away from you Can't make him cry again He doesn't need you So alone he stood With a new life to live And he new he would Cos he was out of reach They had nothing to teach Not that they could anymore But the nights grow colder And he knows he's getting older But he won't open the door [Chorus] Don't you say his name You can't hurt him now He won't come home again He's happy now Don't you call his name He's away from you Can't make him cry again He doesn't need you So when the day breaks He will hide away Because of all your mistakes The nights grow colder And he knows he's getting older But he just wants to be That boy that was once me He doesn't know what to do Cos he is me and I hate you [Chorus] Don't you say my name You can't hurt me now I won't come home again I'm happy now Don't you call my name I'm away from you Can't make me cry again I don't love you |

Anywhere |
Stick your feet up on the shelf In a state of mental health Let all your frustrations go Who once said you can't be fair Taking your shoes off in a pair Can't decide which foot first Open up your eyes and you will see Everything you want to know about me Anywhere you want me to be Anything you want me to see I can be there, I can see it Anytime you feel like coming home Anyone you want to call on the phone Just close your eyes and I can be Anywhere The words of one who seldom speaks All the wiser under the creeks Strange whispers in the wind But if you hear the fortune teller Coming through like a propeller Fluttering about in the sky It may be closer than you think Just hop next door, and grab a drink Anywhere you want me to be Anything you want me to see I can be there, I can see it Anytime you feel like coming home Anyone you want to call on the phone Just close your eyes and I can be Anywhere Someday, I will be that one Whose voice you hear in the breeze And under the clouds of thunder I'll always protect you with ease Anywhere you want me to be Anything you want me to see I can be there, I can see it Anytime you feel like coming home Anyone you want to call on the phone Just close your eyes and I can be Anywhere |

She Heard Me |
I wonder how it could be If everyone could hear me My thoughts are open wide Nobody around to confide But I can't hear a single thing Except this high pitched ring It's not fair It's not fair When she heard me I felt so unsure I could taste the scent Of her allure And when she heard me She cleared out my thoughts And suddenly my thoughts were mine once again I once had a dream I was on the football team When I scored that last goal I climbed up the flagpole It was time to wake up Pulling out the coffee cup This new day This new day When she heard me I felt so unsure I could taste the scent Of her allure And when she heard me She cleared out my thoughts And suddenly my thoughts were mine once again I could not understand What's gone right through my head But now she's here, I feel reality I am myself again And nobody can hear me I've regained my own sense of totality *guitar solo* When she heard me I felt so unsure I could taste the scent Of her allure And when she heard me She cleared out my thoughts And suddenly my thoughts were mine once again *fade* |

Satellite |
Taking off into the void Don't know when I'm coming back On an adventure, I'm overjoyed Hope nothing I forgot to pack There's a secret, drifting about On this journey, I shall find out Where we came from, nobody knows The mystery unraveled, removing our woes Spinning high in the sky like a satellite See the light of the sun shining so bright Everything seems so small in this universe Floating around for better or for worse On a greater sense of reality To discover our species' duality The truth is out there in space To unlock the key to the human race All the time, gasping for air Nowhere to breathe, is there? Controls jammed, losing our grip Magnetic fields through which I flip Spinning high in the sky like a satellite See the light of the sun shining so bright Everything seems so small in this universe Floating around for better or for worse On a greater sense of reality To discover our species' duality The truth is out there in space To unlock the key to the human race Asteroid ahead, no way to stop Debris in the window, cracks in the top It can't end this way, I came so close To answering questions we wanted the most Spinning high in the sky like a satellite See the light of the sun shining so bright Everything seems so small in this universe Floating around for better or for worse On a greater sense of reality To discover our species' duality The truth is out there in space To unlock the key to the human race |

Get Nothing (Claire Kitten) |
I give you a smile Try to start a conversation Feels like you’re holding back While I’m holding back my frustration Take a deep breath To contain my stress So much for us You’re putting it to death Give you my love I get given nothing Give you my time I get given nothing Give up giving up Still I get …nothing I go, leave you behind Get on with living each day Suddenly you’re back To ruin today Suddenly you’re all talk I can’t get a word in What’s going on here? I don’t wanna go where I’ve been Give me your love You’re getting nothing Give me your time You’re getting nothing You can give up giving up But you’re still not getting nothing honey How can you expect something When you gave me nothing Give you my love I get given nothing Give you my time I get given nothing Give up giving up And still…nothing Give me your love You’re getting nothing Give me your time You’re getting nothing You can give up giving up But you’re still not getting nothing |

Simple |
You say it's so unfair And I tend to agree Why are we never prepared When things happen to me? Take whatever you can get Don't let it go to waste Cause if you get all wet How will you find the taste? The simple things in life Are often disregarded Live with what you got Don't let it get discarded The simple things in life Take them one at a time Running out faster than the clock That just rang its last chime Nothing is so simple Now that you're not here Adjusting to a new reality With all these brand new fears Winding back the hours How simple it was before Why is it like this now? Can't hold the tears anymore The simple things in life Are often disregarded Live with what you got Don't let it get discarded The simple things in life Take them one at a time Running out faster than the clock That just rang its last chime Living a simple life Just doesn't cut it now Gotta learn a new way of thinking As I sit and wonder how Life is full of challenges That I'm prepared to take Thinking about those simple things Left behind in the wake The simple things in life Are often disregarded Live with what you got Don't let it get discarded The simple things in life Take them one at a time Running out faster than the clock That just rang its last chime The simple things in life Are often disregarded Live with what you got Don't let it get discarded The simple things in life Taken them all for granted Why things changed so much I'll never understand it The simple things in life Are often disregarded Live with what you got Don't let it get discarded The simple things in life Take them one at a time Running out faster than the clock That just rang its last chime |

Don't Save Me (Othello) |
My blood has gone cold I can't feel my legs Lyin' on the bathroom floor Ignore the knock at the door I can't hold on I'm slipping away Tonight is the night I walk into the light Don't help me Don't love me Can't hear you Can't reach me Don't need me Don't want me Can't stay for you Don't save me I pushed glass to my wrists Watched myself bleed Just to take the pain away You can't make me stay I'd say goodbye But I can't breathe Can't hear my heart beat Given into defeat Don't help me Don't love me Can't hear you Can't reach me Don't need me Don't want me Can't stay for you Don't save me My eyes slowly close I take my final breath Flashbacks haunt me Now I'll be free Now I'll be free So please... Don't help me Don't love me Can't hear you Can't reach me Don't need me Don't want me Can't stay for you Don't save me [x3] |

Half Dead |
Waking up The feeling's numb Never before Have I felt half dead Can't stand up Tumble out of bed Scared of the day That's coming ahead What do you do When you feel half dead? Do you jump upside down And bump your head? Do you stumble away And leave me hanging Bring me back to life Before my life starts banging Up on one leg But I fall back down Losing my balance So hard to get around Kick me in the head Anything to wake the dead My mind is asleep And my arm is bleeding red What do you do When you feel half dead? Do you jump upside down And bump your head? Do you stumble away And leave me hanging Bring me back to life Before my life starts banging Half of me is dangling Feeling numb inside But without the other half alive It hurts so open wide More than just half dead The remaining feeling fades Hopelessly searching The reason for this charade |

Enough |
I've had enough Don't want to hear anymore I'm so sick Of all this useless war Why do they do it? What's the point of this disguise? I don't want to see my life Fade away before my very eyes Too many people Don't think of the world around Everything they do Somewhere makes a sound But do they hear it? Do they know how it hurts? Step outside, and look around Read the paper's inserts I've had enough Don't want to hear anymore I'm so sick Of all this useless war Why do they do it? What's the point of this disguise? I don't want to see my life Fade away before my very eyes Get a grip on reality Before you do a thing Those poor little souls Fortunate for anything Don't take away What means most to them They have feelings too Unlike a flower's stem I've had enough Don't want to hear anymore I'm so sick Of all this useless war Why do they do it? What's the point of this disguise? I don't want to see my life Fade away before my very eyes Make a difference Look back at your wrongs Save a life today Put it where it belongs On this day It's time to reflect Tales of experience Retold with effect I've had enough Don't want to hear anymore I'm so sick Of all this useless war Why do they do it? What's the point of this disguise? I don't want to see my life Fade away before my very eyes |
