Track Name: Ivory
IVORY
Just so you know, I said I loved you and I lied. Honesty is good for my demise. Just so you know, I said I need to feel alive. Still waiting to hear your reply. Speak to me and tell me all the things I know you cannot hide. Speak to me and tell me honesty is good for my demise. Speak to me and I am fine. Just so you know, I said I loved you and I lied, and you don't seem to be surprised. Until you go, please let me be your alibi. Punishment when there’s been no crime. Speak to me and tell me all the things I know I cannot hide. Speak for me, I'm failing. All I need I cannot seem to find. So speak to me and tell me. Honesty is good for my demise. Speak to me and I am... You know the feeling we need doesn't exist, right? We've always said we won't fake anything, but I'm plastic, you're white lie. You know the feeling we need doesn’t exist, right? We've always said we wont fake anything, I'm static, you're faux light.

Track Name: In Trouble
IN TROUBLE
All my life running scared, I should have been more prepared. All my dreams, they have passed.
I put them aside for something fast. I’m in trouble. Understand, heaven helps me with its helping hand.
It all fits together in a master plan. But, am I worth it? I don’t know. All my life running scared, maybe the fear brought me here. I swore I’d change and we’d figure it out. It could have worked, but never found out how. I’m in trouble. Understand, heaven help us with your helping hands. It all comes together in a master plan. But, am I worth it? I don’t know. Yeah, I’m in trouble, I know that now. If I have to go, then show me how. We all need to hang on to each other. We go this way cause we don’t know any other. We all need to hang on to each other. Because we know it won’t last long if we depend on one another. (I’m doing the best I can) (If not we’re going under.) And all I want is to scream at the top of my lungs.

Track Name: Cut the Rope
Pleased to meet you. Oh yes, I'm a doll. Can't you tell by the way I can fall? It's a tightrope, but who's on the wire? First it's your turn and I've started a fire. I need to be the one in control. It's a circus and you're the animal. So pleased to meet you. We are not the same. Who's the mad one? You’re no more than a criminal. I’m not a criminal, but now I know what you are. I want to cut the rope, to see just how far you’ll fall. Now it's my turn. It’s time to seal my fate. Don't look down for there is no escape. This is where I will spend most my life. You're unhappy. Look, you've got a knife. You want to be the one in control. My collapse is unintentional. Won't you save me. I need a great end. I'm the mad one, but you’re no more than a criminal. I’m not a criminal, but now I know what you are. I wanna cut the rope, to see just how far you’ll fall. I wanna know why you would nest without the egg. I’ll never know why you would shoulder all the blame. I’m not a good liar, but I’m good enough to say that you can trust me before you make that big mistake. I’m not a good liar, but I’m good enough to say that I love you, before you get away. And you go wild when you try to get your way. I wanna know why you’re no more than a criminal. I’m not a criminal, but now I know what you are. Your price is too steep and the tight rope you walk on is way too long. You hang from a string, but I could never cut you from what you want.

lyrics by Ashley Taylor and David Jensen. music by David Jensen
Track Name: No Way
Chaos came from a fall, and now they say we can erase it all. Listen, obey, because it’s good for you. Celebrate your tiny flaw. You’re holding back waiting for curtain call. You’ll get your soul back what’s it worth to you? You wanna stay, but there is no way. I sold the questions to afford the answers, is that how it works? I need excuses to fail anyway. I want to read it, but don’t want to see it. I don’t know where to look. Decide its useless and throw it away. Help is on the way. No decision is the best decision. Don’t need a reason, we’ll just keep it even. (I cannot stop) You gotta thorn in your lion’s paw. I thought your roar was just a mating call. Choke down all the medicine like you’re supposed to do. You wanna stay. I say no way. Where we’re from few come undone. We change the sheets before we die. When we’re young salvation keeps us orderly in line. Where we’re from all is love; the doors they stay unlocked all night. When we’re young hold your tongue; to tell the truth could be a lie. I cannot say that there is no way, but there is no way. No way.

Track Name: Beautiful World
BEAUTIFUL WORLD
Open your eyes and you’ll probably see the most beautiful world, but a beautiful world doesn’t matter to me. Open your eyes and your mouth and you’ll speak the most beautiful things, but all the things that they bring never matter to me. And I give my life to the reign. Tell me how am I supposed to notice where the dangers flow if they’re always hidden from me. Look in your eyes and you’ll probably see the most horrible things, and all the horrible things will never satisfy me. Tell me your lies, but I already know them because I just tell the same. We’re all lying the same, going frame by frame. And I give up my life from cradle to grave. It shouldn’t be long now before we notice that in most ways they are the same. I’m too cynical for the time I live in. I need to go to the future where I’ve already been. Because, I’ve seen my past, but I still crash right where it overlaps. Who we pass along the path; Well, I believe we all end up in the same pile of heavenly trash. But, still I hold you close because I need the open road to lead me back to the days where you won’t go. I’ve got a shot glass and an attitude. You know I don’t mind if you don’t like my mood. If you’ve got enough time to wait, I’ll be showing it all today. With a wink of an eye I shake my chest. I know you wanna see what’s under my dress. You know it’s getting pretty late, but I’ll put a spell on you anyway. And I give my life to the pain. Tell me how am I supposed to notice where the dangers flow if they’re always hidden from me. People around me need a beautiful world, but a beautiful world doesn’t matter to me.

Track Name: Hold Up
HOLD UP
If I hold up- If I lean strong against the wind when the breeze blows me down upon my back and I fight upright again- If I hold up- If I smile wide when they offend- If I go against the grain enough I know it will one day soon smoothen, if i hold up. And it’s more than just a problem. It’s more than just a whim. I can see you never cared about me even though you say you did. I’m not impressed by those with power. I’m not impressed by those who grin when I hold up- If I hold up. Now, if I hold up I’m gonna let some light come in. I’m gonna hold it by its throat and ask where it wants me to begin. If I hold up when my fabric is wearing thin- When I’m hanging by the thread I let tangle up in competence- If I hold up. I’m gonna scratch and claw for solace. I’m gonna let forgiveness in. I’m gonna try to let it hold me. I’m gonna try to let it win. I don’t want to carry grudges, but I feel I’m forced to live under them until I hold up. And I’m best when I’m a martyr, but there is no one following until I hold up. If I hold up? If I hold up.

Track Name: Light On
LIGHT ON
Your life is shorter than they say it is, but what they say is true; You may be older, but never wiser until you play it through. You all enjoy the myth and hope it’s better than this, it’s all that’s given to you. Bluff- you never call it enough. You live your life on the cuff, but those sleeves are coming loose. I’m on the border- that’s the way it is when they are coming for you. You’ve become bolder- how can somebody be lost when there is nothing to lose. I’ve turned the corner- I’m coming back to claim what I’m too afraid to choose- Life of inconsequence- and every chance that I missed. All my dreams I will renew. Somebody leave me a light on. I’ve got to know better. Somebody better lead me to light. Somebody leave me a light on.
