The Romantic 03:37
(by: Bryan A. Wilkinson-all rights reserved) That girl won't give you mercy She's a dream without a cloud Brother please just trust me And let her go right now You intend but still contend To be a sucker for a pretty face Could take you for what you meant Instead she shred your faith CHORUS: You could be the meanest outlaw Or a Lonely Lovesick Fool You Can search for love But love-It will find you ---- Beat your heart against the wall For those Who Seemed so Far Infatuation Paces Makes You Wonder Where You Are If pride's what makes a man You can't keep runnin out Surviving to make amends You gotta give it all right now I wish I had the answers So you could take the world Its time to cut the cancer So time can bring your girl

(by: Bryan A. Wilkinson-all rights reserved) Been on the Run for a long time Shaped, Diseased to Feed You better be quick, cuz the Quicker, Always Survives Thieves parouse the wounded A tiger eyes the prize A black heart Bleeds illusions….For a Lip to Bite CHORUS: Its all Because All Because of YOU Live to Feed, Live to Use, Its all been done Before Cuz Its All, Yea Its All Because of YOU Go and Test the Waters Sure to See they're Murky You're all Alone, You're all Alone..….With Nowhere left to Lie. Preach on Little Dark Shine Race on in a Long Line You Better Be Quick, Cuz the Quicker….Always Survives CHORUS: Its all Because All Because of YOU Live to Feed, Live to Use, Its all been done Before Cuz Its All, Yea Its All Because of YOU Kings Salut the Gods Knights Defeat the Odds A Sneer and Weakened Beggar….With No one left to Rob. Crash Within the Senses Crease among the Thoughts Blistered, Scathed, Degraded….Fight to Win But Lost

Save Me 03:30
(by: Bryan A. Wilkinson-all rights reserved) In the backyard there's always romance Ya look away but can't replace Can't seem to look him in the eye One hour turns into Days Lost in a tunnel of lust Crack that safe and hang on All you knew will turn to dust Mind's too torn to pick it up CHORUS: (I Know) You wanna Live where liven aint so lonely (Just Go) You wanna dream where dreaming ain't so haunting (Save Me) I wanna lust where no obsession scorns me Cut these chains away, and somebody's gotta save me Beat the earth till you reach your senses Tease your thoughts to make ammends Faith ain't got nothing to offer Its the wrongs that right the mess Futures remain uncertain Take the day, and make the best I'll be here for the answers when you ask can I live like this?

Some Things 03:59
(by: Bryan A. Wilkinson) I see the start of the world On the other side of this Land I know my family and friends are seeing it too While i'm thinking of them I paint a picture to you So between awake N Dreams I'm facing the edge of the world A sunrise so pure it feels like mine I see your day, out there as it begins And all this While, I wish you could see Chorus: "How I wish you were here These are the best days of your life. For which i'm never there. I just wish I could be with you" I'll tell you darlin-by my recollections Whether near or far, my home is where you are. The headlights Seer off the glare of the street signs I see the flicker and Dance of the city below Our Burdens surrender with a clash of wire keeping a flame, I could do this forever Streamlines and images, are keeping me in a way I can't remember, not feeling this true I think alone, cuz I can't seem to feel for you Blisters and dents, occasions to rise to I couldn't miss you forever
6.
(by: Bryan A. Wilkinson-all rights reserved) She cant look her lover in the eye She's been out with the devil all night heroin and cocaine has burned up her nose she can't think straight to save her life Can't Sleep cuz she's got the feeling Her kid don't deserve this fight Girl you gotta make a living This is no way to make a life PreChorus: Well its over now, if you Take it back CHORUS: Baby waits for a minute then she picks up the phone And calls in for another Day "Can't stay another minute, I just wanna go home And I wont be back again" Aint been a bit sentimental Just stripped her of her pride "Goddammit I ain't worth savin Just lay me down and trace, my black silhouette" This life is battle She doesn't matter Her Face stained to prove the scars A million spaces Even more Faces And look its taken her so very far Thrown to the sharks They keep stoppin her heart And don't end till they leave a mess Suck the well too dry to swim So it can all go and happen again

Past Lives 03:54
(by: Bryan A. Wilkinson-all rights reserved) I dragged a worn out shoebox from under my old bed haven't seen these things real time since I can't remember when Girl, we had some good times, i'm sure we won't again Funny how people love, and in the end, can't be friends Surroundings change but memories remain I went back to my hometown, as I'd left its just the same A few less faces, that place, just knocks em down But still I find my patience to love that town CHORUS: I'm Back I'M BACK Back in time Lookin' in on Past Lives Strains of being a young one fighting to make a name I loved the race it kept me straight, so i guess can't complain Lost in a nightmare, I know you been there, Its over now Lookin out for those, my friends, I was lucky to have around CHORUS: I'm Back I'M BACK Back in Time Lookin' in on Past Lives I joined a rock n roll band, like a danger without an end I found my way to a lady, n I wont be the same again I swam the waters, and lived amongst the setting sun I toast to the greatest wine, as I say……Its just time for One.

Burdens 04:05
(by: Bryan A. Wilkinson-all rights reserved) I picture you walking down A dusty country road After all this emotion And pain shaped a tone I knew you had a weight Constantly on your shoulders I just wanted to take you away To make sure you're safe CHORUS: If you chipped away the stone would your soul be ashes Will the burdens of your heart keep you this way If you slipped but didn't fall would your soul be laughing As the burdens of your heart keep you this way There's always a question Haunting you in your mind Will I ever find an Answer After all of this time? Is it me what have I mistaken? I just want to feel right. Its not you for being perfect It not you in my mind Face the day

Icons 03:50
(by: Bryan A. Wilkinson-all rights reserved) You reach the final moment of your life look back to see the faces who made you fight pride that brings a tear to your eye here's the time its ok for goodbye I'm Not here all alone I got my family and they got me I may not be going home That's just the way it has to be CHORUS: You'll Be, ICONS I hang these ICONS I'll Remember you now, Always through a memory I keep these ICONS with me I lived the times that taught you history I made the man who saved your life I walked in line to shape this country I held your hand to teach you right CHORUS I tell you now, to please not miss me I loved the time that I had with you I know you'll shine on for your family I will be looking out over you Runnin. Round. With the Angels

Free 03:55
(by: Bryan A. Wilkinson-all rights reserved) She's gotta face to cure world hunger And a glance to make a man wince She's a superstar in breedin N she'll cure your 7 year itch Well she tastes like forbidden fruit Somethin all the gentlemen want She's got the smoothest skin and legs so thin Just gonna grin n rattle your thoughts Well it ain't too sad a story havin a girl like her a under your arm theres no goin thru no motions Every move is meant to charm Shouldn't be no woman's man Got enough going in the mix Baby please don't love me Just trust you will be missed CHORUS: Free, yea Livin, Seein, Feelin' I'll take you a photograph So you feel where I'm at Free, yea Livin, Seein', Breathin' Gotta keep movin' on Beat the storm while it's still calm Its late and I need a dose well there ain't one a woman around We been drivin down the coast Through the night from town to town Its right around six am At the sunrise the day is mine she keeps feeding me romance And it helps to pass the time
11.
(by: Bryan A. Wilkinson-all rights reserved) I put a shiny bullet in his gun And some pearls around his lady He cried out the other day, he shout please please take me! He's been a quitter since time begun CHORUS: You pull that trigger so your problems wash away You MUST HAVE WON Change is change, but so is tryin' Can't he see his poor mom and dad? "Sister Sister, please don't miss me I'll promise to go fast" He puts a triumph to his dyin' CHORUS: You pull that trigger so your problems wash away You MUST HAVE WON If I put that bullet in your gun, would you still feel the same? Would you look your mother in the face, and tell her of your pain? Can you compromise all these lives that just wanna keep you safe? I'm tellin you, It doesn't have to be this way

These Words 04:02
(by: Bryan A. Wilkinson-all rights reserved) If There's One thing To remember Its Reaping what you Sow And knowing all along, you may not get a thing you want If i'm not mistaken…here lies a reputation All this hesitation... just runs you down Pre-CHORUS: If this keeps keepin on… You'll Be the one Who's All Alone… CHORUS: So If you Find the Time To Apologize I won't still be around You Turned to Walk Away This one is clear Ya didn't have the Heart to Feel that Way Post CHORUS: …Now these Words Are off my Chest Pass the Port I'm not Stopping These Pockets of Reminders, A New Disease Get back to the Days; Surviving, Thrill, Dusty Knees Swim towards the Light, I'm under water My Eyes are Open Wide, Things are Clear as Crystal Ice Pre-CHORUS CHORUS BRIDGE: Until you Fade Away like toys n tricks n vacancies laying in your bed You've turned all your Stones When you feel like nobody's left That's a brush with what could be Cuz Nobody-Asks to be Branded Nobody-Asks to be Damaged And Kept for old and Truth is Told Make Sure that Heart's worth Aching Its Pitiful, Its Criminal, n Nothin' seems to be Changing CHORUS I won't take anything back These Words are off my Chest
