ALCHEMY
written and composed by M. Myszkowski
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

I will tear through the spaces in between
All this that's keeping you from me
All these miles and days, times that fade
and all the silly games we play

So shake me out
These ideas I have are dangerous
Shake me out
These plans I have could bring the whole thing down

Yeah, I could just ride it out
but waiting has never been my style
all this life and death, he said she said
and all the thoughts run through my head

So take me out
These ideas I have are dangerous
Take me out
These plans I have could bring the whole thing down

Blood
written and composed by M. Myszkowski
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The liquor had me turning into someone I didn't recognize
The drugs turned you into someone I didn't like
Though I wish there was still a way to check out of this mess for a while
I try

Not to go down dead end roads I've been down before
Not to test the lessons that I payed for in blood
Old friends in new skin, you're a different person, so am I
It makes me want to turn back time to before we knew what troubles lie behind the years

Back in the day you were someone I idolized
How was I supposed to know that you felt the same
It's not like when you left you even said "goodbye
Still, I try

Not to go down dead end roads I've been down before
Not to test the lessons that I payed for in blood
Old friends in new skin, you're a different person, so am I
It makes me want to turn back time to before we knew what troubles lie behind the years

In the same breath you tell me
That I could never understand
But you've got some words of wisdom for me
Let me know you think that

The spotlight had me changing in some ways you don't appreciate
Yeah, your approval means the world to me, it's only a little late
Everything you're afraid of -  take your broad brush and paint - me
Yeah, I'm sorry but…

I don't go down dead end roads I've been down before
I don't test the lessons that I payed for in blood
Old friends in new skin, you're a different person - so am I
I finally like myself quite well just one of the perks of coming home from hell

Close the door behind you
If you're not coming back

Close the door behind you
If you're not coming back

Church Bells
written and composed by L. Dragtoe and M. Myszkowski
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tourists & cigarettes
Mixed emotions & regrets
Follow through the heavy door
Price to pay just like before

Church bells singing to the street
Hollow hearts & concrete feet
You may say I’m only sleeping-

Don’t ask me silly questions I won’t play those stupid games
I may not pass inspection & I may not fit this frame
True Love is all around you- just as simple as it seems
You may say I’m only sleeping but I’m living in a dream

Heaven wears a thin disguise
Daylight chasing butterflies
Breaking down these chains of fear
Never gonna catch me here

Church bells always sound the same
Know my face, forget my name
You may say I’m only sleeping- 

 

Don’t ask me silly questions I won’t play those stupid games
I may not pass inspection & I may not fit this frame
True Love is all within you- just as simple as it seems
You may say I’m only sleeping but I’m living in a dream

BLUE WATER
written and composed by B. Whelan and M. Myszkowski
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

I lost my father
to the waves of the ocean's teeth
I'll fall no longer
to the tale at the sirens' feet

I'll call my lover
to the shores of the distant sea
where hope, child, and patience
will keep our own company

She's the blue, bluewater
and I'm the ship that's sinking in

Singing Oh

I've fought the current
To heed those that come and go
I've lost before this
But now my tale begins to grow

She's the blue, bluewater
(you'll find me at the bottom with a drink in my hand)
and I'm the ship that's sinking in
(singing songs from my father's land)
she's the blue, bluewater
(you'll find me at the bottom with a drink in my hand)
I'm the cup she's drinking in
(singing songs from my father's land)

GREEN JEWEL
written and composed by M. Myszkowski
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sometimes all we need's to get lost for a while
Sometimes all we need is to leave it all behind

Sometimes all we need's to get lost for a while
Sometimes all we need is to leave it all behind

Deep in the heart of the city sleeps,
with the trees and the deer and the birds and the bees
The potential that grows unheard and unseen
While the rivers underground wait patiently

A green jewel
in this concrete chaotic catastrophe 
Throw it all away and come dance with me

 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Heaven
written and composed by M. Myszkowski
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
 

Put your arms around me
And hold me tight
Just a little bit harder now
With all your might…
I suggest
That you never let me go
Because I
Might as well die

Da da da die
Da da da die
Right here in your arms tonight, baby

Da da da die
Da da da die
Right here

I wanna be enveloped 
In your soft skin
I wanna drown
In your ocean…
Waves “hello”
As you're drawing me in
And I know that 
I would be luck to die

Da da da die
Da da da die
Right here in your arms tonight, baby

Da da da die
Da da da die
Right here

Here

There's all this commotion
There's all this fear
In the world around us
But not right here…
I sit
As you take me to heaven
and I know that
I would be lucky to die

Da da da die
Da da da die
Right here in your arms tonight, baby

Da da da die
Da da da die
Right here

Little Spells
written and composed by L. Dragtoe and M. Myszkowski
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Every day the sunlight castin’ little spells on me
Make believe 
I believe 
It was meant to be

Living through these moments that collide in space and time
‘Got no time to waste on sadness
I’m the only one ‘brings me down

And I won’t get sad
And I won’t get sad
Because-
I’d rather be happy

Every night the moonlight castin’ little spells on me
Make believe 
I believe 
It was meant to be

Living through these moments that collide in space and time
‘Got no time to waste on sadness
I’m the only one ‘brings me down

And I won’t get sad
And I won’t get sad
Because-
I’d rather be happy.

Lost
written and composed by M. Myszkowski
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

All
My life
Spent following the blind
I know it's hard to describe
But I've felt empty inside

Since I 
Quote:
“Opened up my eyes”
And left you behind 
Alone

Maybe you'll never see it
Maybe you'll never know

Peace 
Of mind
That I found in the hurricane's eye
I know it's hard to decide
Whether you will run

Or Hide 
Either way, you're in denial
Maybe you're better off
Alone

And I don't know
If you were ever really there
But it's all the same

Maybe you'll never see it
Maybe you'll never know

Face it
You're lost
Face it
You're just like me
Do you feel dirty now
Are you so unclean
Coming to terms with how you're lost like me

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
MOUNTAINS
written and composed by M. Myszkowski
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Fire 
Coursing through your rivers 
Your mountains fall, your plains all crumble

Termites 
Try to dig right into you 
Your branches fall, your roots all crumble

Please 
Fall into a dream

We can't bear to hear you screaming

NASHVILLE
written and composed by M. Myszkowski
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Drive on down to Nashville is 13 hours long
I can't wait to stretch my legs and hold you in my arms
We made it through the night and now the sun is burning bright
People sleeping in the streets recovering from last night

The police man says there's a whole lot of dope smoking going on
But it's too damn hot to do a thing about it, so he's just gonna sit and say

Mhmmm

So we take a walk down Broadway, hear that telecaster twang
Spillin' out onto the streets and making everybody sing

Mhmmm

If you're too damn drunk or you just don't know the words
You don't have to sing along, no, all you gotta do is say

Mhmmm

NDS
written and composed by M. Myszkowski
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thank God for my bad luck
It's never steered me wrong
Thank God for my bad luck
Some Folks got none at all

When walking in circles trumps walking the path made for you
The new deadly sin has gotten the best of you

So go on, blame God for your bad luck
I'll make my very own
Fists shaking up at the sky
'Til you pass on

This is Sodom, this is Gomorrah, it's true
But there's no lake of fire, or lightening crashing 'round you
The new deadly sin is wasting away like you do


----------------------------------------------------------------------------
NEW LIFE
written and composed by M. Myszkowski
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here it comes, chemical darkness
Kicking in
Coming up slow, inevitable
From within

T minus 10, 9, don't mind me, I'm feeling fine
8, 7, 6, 5 just get me out of here alive

Tides rise, close my eyes
Deep breath 
Waves climb, my hands are tied
I accept

4, 3, 2, 1, no, I'm not gonna run
Waves breaking on the cliff, let's just get this over with

Here it comes, chemical darkness
Kicking in
Coming up slow, inevitable
From within

"Oh Lord, not again, I will not feel that way" I said


----------------------------------------------------------------------------
SUNFLOWER
written and composed by M. Myszkowski
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sunflower that tower over me
Look what I can do

Strawberry, treasures buried in the dirt 
Look what I can do

You're not looking, no, you're not looking, no
You're not looking, no, you're not looking down

And I'll bring you a paper ring to
show you that I care

And I'll marry, It's not scary
Forever's just today 

You're not looking, no, you're not looking, no
You're not looking, no, you're not looking down

Forever's just today
Forever's just today
Forever's just today


----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wings
written and composed by M. Myszkowski
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

You say you wish you were here
But you're not
And your “I wish you could see this place”
Doesn't help

And I could never clip your wings
But is it so bad that I want to
They say "if you love it, let it go" but it's not that easy 

And I know that I said
That if you fly away
That I'd be alright
But then you disappear into the clouds
And I notice I lied

And I would never clip your wings
But is it so bad that I dream about it
They say “if you love it, let it go” but it's not that easy

You put me back together when I'm falling apart
And “heart” might be a better word to rhyme with that part 
But my heart cannot do justice to how deep I feel you in my soul

Blood
Pumps through my veins
Until the day it stops
And when my bones have turned to dust I know this love will not
Be
Forgotten
Will not
Be
Forgotten

Until the day I die 
I'll watch you fly
