1. All The Damage Done

I have friends surrounding me but I can't keep one
Everything I try to do here today then gone here today then gone
I leave a trail of destruction far and wide and I can see.

All the damage done games I thought I won I'm the hit and run
And all the damage done
Taking one too many stands over playing every hand
Like fingers holding sand
And all the damage done

Pretty girl that I knew long ago beauty like I never seen before
She held her hand out to me and I pulled away yeah I turned away
She had done no wrong to me and I broke her heart that day and I can see

2. Trojan Horse

All in it together it's the will of the world
All outspoken but yet I'm by myself
Spirits dictate everyone of my thoughts
It's an average story we tell
Your weakness shows your allegance to him
Lies and your honor both angered me
My hands reached out please take them both
So we can finally be free

What is war when love is at stake
Human sacrifice is the course we must take

A story book battle for a taste of your lips
A face that could launch a 1000 ships
Whispers and harlequins making pacts theres no turning back
Riding your Trojan Horse riding your Trojan Horse

Sneaking suspicion not what I wanted
Should have been simple the hide and wait
Closing doors won't protect us it's not how I operate

3. Silhouettes On The Shade

So many countless stars I keen on the road so many dreams I've lost
Sometimes because of what I do I left my love behind and closed the door it's true
Those things that you should only dream of please wake me before I stream

I see thru the window what I can't deny
My woman and him breast to breast
Screaming my heart out I can't catch my breath
This is the ultimate test

Silhouettes on the shade watching my baby walk away from me in shadows of the night
Silhouettes on the shade tonight I've got to get revenge and set things right

Go go ahead upstairs clenching both my fists desperation's there
The sight of what was my best friend naked dancing raw tonight some blood will flaw
Truth slipping into illusion I'm dancing the edge of the blade.

Without you where nothing more than stranger
Without you a wandering soul
Without you living life in danger
Without you I'm losing control.

4. Metaphor

I met her lor a drink that eve to set the tone of make believe
I stared into her sultry eyes burned like emeralds in the night
Lyric like an open book stole my heart with just one look
Investigating every nook for secrets I desire

She was just a Metaphor for everything I wanted more
Sunset on a lonely beach a pleasure so raw
She was just a Metaphor enigmatic open door
A beauty that seemed out of reach the passion I adore

Her manner captivated me beauty like a blossom tree
Public anonynmity so private I want more

Spellbound by her magic hook tremblin while the earth it shook
Conflicted by her inner wit set my soul on fire

5. Don't Act Surprised

A circus of perversion where everyone believes
Livin on the edge with low lives and thieves
Performances get lost rehersin futile dreams
Charming hypnosis all part of the scheme
Outside looking in inside looking out
Habits got no limits lust and greed and riches

Cause when humble pie starts to taste like shit
And the flame has died
When all your pleasures lose their kicks Whoah'

Don't act surprised
Don't act surprised

Words they don't mean nothing when blowing in the win
Sugar coated language with rose colored lenses
Molotov cocktails drowning in your sin
Headline news appealing to the masses
Cannot live without cannot live within
Stories never ending just when does it end.

When chemical reactions flare
And the pain subsides
All thats left are unpaid fares yo!

Don't act surprised don't act surprised when the party's оver
Don't act surprised
Looking over shoulder don't act surprised

When humble pie starts to taste like shit
And the flame has died
When all your pleasures lose their kicks

6. Never Face Ole Joe Alone

When the sheriff came round daddy hollered for his gun
He was lookin for my brother who was out on the run
Mama said he's up and gone with a score to fill
Out thru the night to make a kill

Papa said watch your back cause I learned him well
He's a wanna be outlaw you can never tell

Never trust your life without a gun never face the past unarmed
Never be afraid when a man must die and never face ole Joe alone

Brother had a motive and a moral on his side
On the letter of the law he would never ride
Old man Peters was a mile downstream
He'd done that girl just to hear her scream

Tried to change his mind but he wouldn't budge
Jury executioner and judge
By the time they found him it was too late
Old man Peters had found his fate

7. Scandinavian Rose

Wild aurora dancing on a dark gypsy night
Winter time in valhalla is such a pretty sight
And those blue eyes of passion stealing my soul
They're just like satin pure as the arctic snow
Smiling down from heaven lord only knows

Sparkling like shooting stars look at me with eyes on fire.
Tingling from my head down to my toes
Seize my heart in every way blissfully right here in heaven
All I needs my Scandinavian Rose

Visions they amaze me on a wild viking night
Murder me with fever and blinding me with light
And those blue eyes forever burned in my brain
Infatuation shining in the arctjc sun
Making me feel like I'm the only one

Right here right now you and I right here together
Hold me close before I break
Right here right now all that I desire
You and I forever my Scandinavian Rose.

8. Catch An Angel Fallin'

I was there on open ground she had this look in her eyes
They never make a sound when they lie
A smile on her face so familiar I remember it well
It's been so long since I tasted the failure but no one could tell

Sometimes my heart is broken at times forever strong
Out of breath and choking I
Slowly move along
Forever young we pray to be choosing not to sin
Standing on the edge oh I catch an angel falling

Follow me my angel as far as you can see
Until the sorrow keeps you from holding my hand
Guide me from lust and show me how to love
Arise from the dust from heaven above

When no words can be spoken when nothing rights a wrong
Counting loss like tokens until each one is gone
Remember what you say cause scars don't fade away
And crying's all in vain oh I'll catch an angel falling.

9. Civilized Evil

Offer a smile for the leadership the politicians their readership.
Entrapment thru philosophy beauty of moral hypocricy
Lounging in their platinum towers smokin cigars relaxing in power
It's all persuasion catching the eye seducing the masses clutching to lies

Spreading seduction without compromise
Civilized evil
A poison concoction of alibis
Civilized evil
Twisting the truth with their venomous eyes
Civilized evil
Bursting with laughterfrom a 1000 cries
Civilized evil

Flaunting the joys of entitlement destroying each other they call it hip
Destruction of ailing policy I'll sue you brother just wait and see
Scrounging like rats each and every hour each others back it's we they devour
Telling the truth thru thousands of lies filling their guts until their satisfied.

10. Fools Gold

Look at you there loving your ways God's gift to everyone and that ain't no praise
You're your own master also your slave believe in your hype your either stupid or brave

Fragments of perjury held in your hands
A way with words so legendary lies don't male the man

Just like fool's gold dazzling as the sun at noon
Tied around your neck just like a lead ballon
Just like fool's gold swallow what's in front of you
Out there on your own just like a lonely moon

You sold your soul to the angel of death and took it back with the very next breath
Your fingers are burned but you don't feel pain either your genius or were all insane

11. Always Be My Angel

I've wanted many things I've chased desire since I was born
But lately someone's caught my eye suddenly I'm gone
My mind's in a higher place trapped in your steely gaze
Smitten with your face held within your gaze

You send me to heaven with each breath you draw
Your stardust and wit I'm in awe

It doesn't matter if your white or black
It doesn't matter if your halos cracked
It's your bright skies that catch my eye
You'll always be my angel

Sometimes you bring darkness at times the brightest skies
You bring me dusk till dawn you don t even have to try
Even when you're bad you're letter than everyone else
Don't know where you find your magic but I'd hasten to guess
