Picking Up The Pieces
Verse 1 My door has been left open It's you who didn't lock it I guess you were really in a hurry You didn't even bother to write me a note Verse 2 If you were planning on leaving me I should have seen it coming And what was I thinking when I said I trusted you And that I could always count on you Bridge Right now, I'm angry at you for taking advantage of me You should know that if I were more like you I wouldn't have let you in my home Chorus 1 I don't have an explanation as to why you chose to leave suddenly Now I'm left to pay all the bills I'm picking up the pieces you left behind And at the same time, I'm trying to get my life back on track Chorus 1 I don't have an explanation as to why you chose to leave suddenly Now I'm paying for your magazine subscriptions I'm picking up the pieces you left behind And at the same time I'm trying to get my life back on track I will not let you bring me down Written by B.

At First Glance
Verse 1 Intuition is what made me believe that I had found my soulmate There were no doubts lingering inside of my mind I looked across the room And you were doing the same thing Verse 2 Then our eyes both met and you suddenly looked away I knew that I had fallen in love with you at that very moment And my life would no longer be the same Because I will have someone to share it with Bridge A second before I knew I loved you I thought that I was crazy How can you know you love somebody Without knowing who they are? It might really be an infatuation But with you, it's real love I've never been so sure of anything in my life I just can't wait until you say you love me too Chorus 1 At first glance, I knew within my heart that I loved you At first glance, I knew that nothing would come between us Chorus 2 At first glance, I knew within my heart that I loved you At first glance, I knew that you and I would be together Chorus 3 At first glance, I knew within my heart that I loved you At first glance, I knew that you were the one for me Chorus 4 At first glance, I knew within my heart that I loved you At first glance, I knew that I was finally whole Written by B.

I Want To Go Home
Verse 1 I want to go home Being on the run is dangerous This life I live is tiring and unhealthy The cries and whispers that I hear are frightening Death and destruction are seeping into this once pristine land Verse 2 Everyone that I meet is a stranger to me I don't know if I can trust any of them I would like to so I can get home But that is a risk I'm not sure I'm willing to take Bridge 1 Many of my thoughts are depressing They pierce my mind like pins and needles The aches and pains I feel are real I'm still looking for something that can make me heal Bridge 2 Many of my thoughts are depressing It makes it harder for me to find my way home But I will keep on trying One of these days I'll get out of this place Chorus I remember being safe inside my home I was at peace and filled with energy The sounds I heard were gentle and soothing I didn't have to fight to survive Everything that existed was beautiful Written by B.

All Your Yesterdays
Verse 1 Falling apart, getting back together Many pieces were scattered, many are still missing You stood straight up, you were dirty Cleaned yourself, became happier You are not the same anymore Verse 2 You were used, you were interrupted You are in from the cold Now things are warming up You can create new memories Even if the old ones exist All you have to do is try Chorus 1 All your yesterdays are always with you Tomorrow always brings something new Your past is nearby but you're far ahead Life moved on and you followed it Chorus 2 All your yesterdays are always with you Your past is nearby but you're far ahead Today is unpredictable Life moved on and you did the same as well Written by B.

The Other Side of Silence
Verse 1 There's a side of silence that people don't know exist It is the side that is so quiet It can be heard at any time It sounds like a powerful, raging storm Destroying almost everything in it's path It gets to the point where you can't hear breathing The loudness of it drowns out voices Verse 2 The other side of silence is filled with noise It can make eardrums ache The screams are sharp and long It can last until a word is uttered Then the chain of silence will be broken But sooner of later it will reconnect And when it does, it strikes with a tremendous force It will blast you away if you're caught off guard Bridge When you experience both sides of silence You view verbal communication in a different way Without it, noise levels increase precipitously You'll say anything just to make it quiet again Some of the damage that occurred can be felt It's when you speak and can't hear yourself Chorus The other side of silence is deafening I feel the anger when words are left unspoken Hostility and disappointment are building up inside of me Written by B.

Life Upside Down
Verse 1 The ceiling is about to cave in I'm saying "Not yet!" because it's early summer You know what that means? I want to relax and have some fun But I can't do that if I am homeless Verse 2 Somebody's knocking at my door I'm saying "Leave a message on my answering machine" You know what that means? I'm going to sleep even though I'm not tired Verse 3 I eat and watch TV way too much I try to cut back on them but I'm eating and watching more You know what that means? I need to get help before it's too late I can't live like this forever Chorus Life can turn upside down I should know because mine is in the process of doing so Luckily I'm wearing a helmet If my body gets bruised and battered At least my head will stay intact The view from here can be nauseating But that's the least of my concerns I have to turn my life right side up Written by B.

If We Fall In Love Tonight
Verse 1 You and I have only known each other for a few months We feel comfortable whenever we're together There's certain lines that you and I will never cross But if I drew one near me I know you'll walk over to me Verse 2 There's something about you that amazes me I don't know what is is but I think it's your confidence You tell me that you always think about me And how you can never get me out of your mind That's another thing that we have in common I do the same thing that you do Verse 3 I can't tell if you're nervous If you are, you hide it well As the night progresses my heart beats faster I'm anxious about tonight I don't want anything to change just because of three small words Chorus If we fall in love tonight, it won't be the first time And I know that it won't be the last time as well Written by B.

Ties That Bind, Ties That Break
Verse 1 If I could see you again, I wouldn't want to There's just too many painful memories of you You are a stranger to me now I don't want to know you I'm concerned about what you would do And I have every right to be Just stay far away from me Verse 2 You think of me as a guy You think of me as a doll Someone you idolize, something you play with But you will never own me Verse 3 There's something going on, I can sense it And I absolutely don't like it My mind can be lost, my heart can break But my soul will never give in to you Verse 4 What you call love is really an obsession When it gets out of control, it's dangerous And I don't want to be nearby when you self-destruct and explode Chorus 1 Ties that bind, ties that break Something you find, something you create I have this weird feeling That someday you'll wrap your arms around me Chorus 2 Ties that bind, ties that break Something you find, something you create I have this weird feeling Written by B.

Untitled (Don't Step Outside The Box)
Verse 1 Don't step outside the box Always looking out Wondering what all this commotion's about We are stuck here And we're always trying to live the simple life We try to keep things clean We try to keep progressing Maintaining a sense of identity is like climbing Everest But that can't stop us No, it won't stop us From ever realizing our greater purpose Witnessing and storing everything in sight Disliking what we're processing We'll try to change it Change it for the better Implement a new code for generations Verse 2 Pay no attention to us You do you, I do me Let us be with our forgotten, tortured dreams Fear and hate reside here And we're always lying to live another day Being surrounded by filth ultimately makes us filthy It's a badge of honour And it's worn proudly Don't judge us for being different from you We'll never be shamed No, you can't shame us Changing our ways is like wanting elephants to fly Destroying and disrespecting everything in sight Disliking those who stand in our way We'll try to ignore them Pretend they don't exist Influence generations that will come to be Verse 3 When we're ruined, we'll hide behind powerful protectors They create the laws to which we abide by No accountability, no remorse Our future is predetermined We're carried along When things run smoothly, then things are rough And the days will rise and fall on the whims of men Unpredictability is invisible And it's everywhere just like air Chorus Fight for your kind And we'll fight for ours Battles revolving around lines In pursuit of victory to occupy minds It's dangerous, it's complicated, it's worthwhile Written by B.

Untitled (I'm a blast from the past)
Verse 1 I am a man as a man I've been told Real and grown-ass is the way I've been sold I tower over others and I'm built like a rock Bred from days of bondage My abilities will not be mocked I am a man who has raised up his mind Facts and figures are what I've dealt with Contracts are signed and large funds are collected I don't rough it up in the hood And I'm not an empire Verse 2 Some say, some suggest That I'm not what I appear to be Controversial implications no longer bother me Some do, many won't say anything Directly to my face Varying degrees of hostility are displayed Even among my race Interpreters of the most-read book Bestow disappointment and shame Through my existence I generate a lot of blame Verse 3 Hot-tongued individuals refuse to ignore me Many people I encounter Just look right through me I've learned how not to view myself Through the eyes of others Countless hours of solitude Have yet to fail me I am a man as a man I've been told Creations dwell in me Therefore, I must be bold Chorus I'm a blast from the past And I'm ahead of my time The principles of my being Are constantly being debated on Written by B.

The Wire
Verse 1 Your favourite weapon is rated R It darkens the sky If I change it, I'll be Sunshine Superman High seas and desert lands are part of your broken world It should cease to exist I want to re-direct the train you've been travelling on Which leads you to despair Which causes you not to care A new world in your heart is what I'd like to construct Building up your body, your mind, your soul Verse 2 Manufacturing coffins is not the industry I dabble in Calling off the search for you is something I just won't do If I must, I'll use bows and arrows to eliminate shadows The shadows surrounding you and occupying your domain Flooding it with misery and soaking with anger Your world should be of warmth An abundance of comfort I'm wearing steel-toed boots To build up your body, your mind, your soul Verse 3 Tick, tock goes the clock It's both a friend and a foe Treating everyone the same Deflecting all the blame Moments of opportunities seldom present themselves And when they do, you must take heed and venture on Be carried away with the wind of changes The changes you've needed To build up your body, your mind, your soul Chorus Prisons on fire, down to the wire Seizing the airwaves of your consciousness Always a rebel, I won't die on my knees You shouldn't either so begin your journey with me Timing is everything And everything is down to the wire Written by B.

The Ocean At The End of The Lane
Verse 1 Foot on the pedal Hands gripped to the wheel Singular focus on the belief of relief Dreams surround me like a captive A captive of my subconscious Struggling as I sleep Dancing with shadows Shadows of my former self Their records are the only sounds I hear Verse 2 Dissolver of secrets Purifier of bodies Wholeness will flood into me And that's what I'll be forevermore As clear and hopeful as the sky The sky of possibilities I won't dance with shadows Shadows of my former self Their records will fall on deaf ears Verse 3 What seemed endless has a finishing point The fire of longing will no longer ravage my core The shadows will disappear Shadows of my former self The ocean is calling me Loudly, clearly Chorus As wide as the universe The cure that's been hidden from me I'll immerse myself in the ocean The ocean at the end of the lane Another world is waiting Waiting for me to form a connection to it A connection to the ocean at the end of the lane Written by B.

The Myth of Solid Ground
Verse 1 Whom you trust depends on what colour you see Red truth, blue truth - it's not up to me Speaking truth to power is rather subjective Statements of beliefs are rarely objective The war on terror is being waged The battle for freedom seems to be unwinnable Those who follow what they are told represent two sides They assert their own versions of reality Even if it's based on lies Verse 2 Your saviour is somebody's zealot Tailoring your views is not the same as being well-informed Pick a camp if you want to fight With others similar to you If you don't, you'll have to fight alone Meaning you will surely lose Your leeriness may reveal you're a coward But if you stand tall with a forceful attitude You may be brave Bridge We're living in a free-for-all Every matter is either true or false Uncertainty is uncomfortable But you will have to choose between red and blue Those who you can count on will be fellow believers Now is the time to place your vote Or you will be left behind Chorus The myth of solid ground We're sinking deeper into a quagmire The myth of solid ground Sand is the only thing we walk on The myth of solid ground Is not as far fetched as one may think The myth of solid ground Illusions are the current state of mind Written by B.

Verse 1 I only want you to love me So I'll be doing things differently I want you to notice me And then you'll fall madly in love with me I will cook you a meal The best you've ever eaten Wear clothing that turns you on So I can look real sexy I will wear cologne The kind of fragrance that smells sensuous I will strike a pose for you in the nude So you can admire my body Verse 2 I only want you to love me That's not a crime Nor is it a desperate plea I need to feel loved like everyone else Please show it to me I am able and willing to reach out to you Take me in your arms Verse 3 I will be caring And I will be respectful I will save you If you're ever in trouble I'm not too emotional I've never been too clingy I am here right before you So why don't you want to love me? Chorus 1 I want to feel the way others feel When they know someone truly cares about them I only want you love me Chorus 2 I want to feel the way others feel When they know someone truly cares about them I only want you to love me I am a good friend I am a great lover I am a companion with many benefits You are just right for me Written by B.

Nobody Else
Verse 1 How do you kill the pain that just won't go away? How do you escape the hell that you're in ? How do you open your eyes to what you don't want to see? How do you beg for forgiveness if you're not worthy of it? Verse 2 How do you open your heart to let love in? How can you wish to die if you're afraid of death? How can you tell the truth if no one will listen? How do you turn away from something so tragic Without feeling guilty? Chorus 1 I don't think anybody else has been in my position I have always felt alone Never had a real friend I have always been so distant Never been able to connect Nobody else has walked in my shoes Chorus 2 I don't think anybody else has been in my position I have always felt lonely Never had a real lover I have always been so distant Never been able to connect Nobody else has walked in my shoes Written by B.

Holding On
Verse 1 A warm spring night in May The night we first met I wanted you then I didn't get the chance to then we met a few weeks later I approached you, you hesitated You changed your mind I wanted you as much as you wanted me We started kissing, baby We caressed each other You wanted me to make love to you Verse 2 A hot summer night in late June The last time I ever saw you It was also for the third time I hope we meet again I freed myself of sadness and trouble I was able to be loveable You needed me as much as I needed you We started kissing, baby We caressed each other You felt as if you were making love to me You were Bridge I just can't get you off my mind You are so beautiful Sweet honey, ooh baby I will not forget you Chorus 1 I'm holding on to the time we spent together I want to get back with you I think about you And I wonder if you ever think about me Our bond is slipping away But I will not let it go Chorus 2 I'm holding on to the time we spent together I want to get back with you I think about you And I wonder if you ever think about me Our bond is slipping away But I will not let it go It makes me feel alive during the day it peacefully puts me to sleep When I held you in my arms We became one When we made love, we became one Outro Darling, I want you Sweetheart, I need you Sugar, come be with me Because I'm still holding on to us Written by B.

Snow In August

Destroyed
The invasion brought chaos and confusion We were all shocked And we were all in awe The leaders all fled to avoid capture While the citizens hid away to avoid danger Buildings tumbled down, vehicles caught fire Dead bodies filled the streets People cried out in pain The ruler was toppled, citizens were ecstatic Their brutal dictator was finally defeated While his cronies were on the run The self-appointed liberators looked for them They were able to capture dozens of them The others remained at large Bridges were burned, oil tanks exploded Pockets of resistance appeared everywhere More soldiers were wounded The country was in the middle of a war Nobody knew how long it would last Many prayed, many stayed silent Nobody knew what was going to happen next Coalition forces tried to protect the citizens But there wasn't enough manpower to do so The country was destroyed, villages were obliterated Electricity was scare, temperatures reached 40 degrees Instability and curiosity made the world pay attention There were protests demanding the army to pull out Written by B.

For Your Own Good
Verse 1 I must let you go This is for your own good I won't live forever So you must take care of yourself You may feel afraid You may feel shy But you should learn to stand on your feet Verse 2 Listen more, talk less Look often, stare rarely Take the time to cry when you need to Smile and laugh frequently Bridge You're growing up faster than I ever thought you would Now is the time for you To make something of yourself Yes, life will be hard And things will get complicated But don't quit even if you get discouraged Appreciate every moment You'll be proud that you did Chorus I'm pushing you out into the world So you can live and learn And love on your own You can't be dependant on me any longer This is for your own good Written by B.

In Between
Verse 1 The three of us used to be close We always acted as if we were brothers We did so many things together Some even said that we were joined at the hip Who knew our bond would ever break Who knew our love would ever dissipate Now all we do is fight with one another We no longer talk, we argue most of the time Verse 2 One day I'm with you The next day I'm with him I bounce from side to side Hanging around both of you I won't be able to put myself at ease Until you two make amends Until you love me more than you hate each other Bridge When I'm in the middle And you two are at my side I don't know what to do Granted, this situation is complicated However, it can be resolved Chorus 1 Right now I'm in between you and him I don't like the position I'm in I am being pulled from all sides But I fee as though I can save our friendship Chorus 2 You both are breaking my heart Your anger and your jealousy are tearing us apart I've been caught in the crossfire For far too long If I step away, we'll be separated forever Outro I'm in between two of my best friends But neither are friends with each other Written by B.

You Better Run
Verse 1 I'm not fit to raise a child I can't even take care of myself I don't have much patience I sometimes lack control Time and time again I have tried To build up my self-esteem But it gets shattered into a thousand pieces I love myself just enough to get through each each day What more can I say? Verse 2 I cannot dispense advice I never listen to my own I am clumsy, I get messy I'll only get in your way You deserve someone who is Capable of loving every part of you I am not that person I will never be, that's for sure Verse 3 I don't have much potential I'm just mediocre I live a very simple life I only have what I need To this day, I am still afraid of the dark Not knowing what lies ahead frightens me I guess I'm just a big child at heart Chorus Don't come near me You better run I will only drag you down I will drain the life out of you Written by B.

That's The Truth
Verse 1 Spice up your life Stop blaming yourself There's been too much of that going on It's Saturday night You choose not to go out Never give up on yourself You can get past this Move your sadness over You can do it if you try harder Don't deny what you need You will forever regret it Verse 2 If you want to be someone else You can as long as you like yourself If you should reach the point Where you don't know who you are The answer will lie within you If you can't dance, don't worry There are more important things than that If you feel naked Cover yourself with familiar things If that sounds funny It won't be if everyone is looking at you Chorus You're the best girl You are a dynamite diva Happiness is always within your reach Good times are ahead Wipe out the blues Love is always within your reach That's the truth Written by B.

You Gotta Stay Happy
Verse 1 Another spin around the sun Another journey to the moon Another night of pouring rain Another ten pounds you have gained Verse 2 Another breezy day Another sleepless night Another broken heart Another newfound friend Bridge 1 You gotta stay happy You gotta be sappy Live joyfully Think positively Bridge 2 Tears of joy, tears of pain A loud burst of laughter You didn't get what you wanted You have what you need Don't frown - smile Don't pout - smile Add spice to your life Chorus You gotta stay happy As happy as you can be No matter what happens You gotta stay happy Try to be gleeful No matter what you go through Written by B.
