The Man on the Wall
We’ve walked, we walk and we’ll walk
Silently through the corridor
Not a word spoken
Share a glance, nothing more
Is it fear? Is it rage? Is it sadness...?
That I see in the depth of your stare?
There’s a wall that I can’t seem to see through
I can’t climb, there’s a man up there
We will never say what’s on our minds, no
We will never share the things we feel
We will never show the hurt, the sorrow
Will we ever find the words that heal?
I look, you look, we’ve all looked
We all see the man on the wall
No need to guard your emotions
Push him off, make him fall
Is it life? Is it love? Is it foolish…?
To let your heart speak for a change
Can’t you see that pride is not a virtue
Humility ain’t so strange
We will never say what’s on our minds, no
We will never share the things we feel
We will never show the hurt, the sorrow
Will we ever find the words that heal?
We will never say what’s on your minds, no
We will never share things we feel
We will never show the hurt, the sorrow
Will we ever find the words that heal?
We will never say what’s on our minds, no
We will never share the things we feel
We will never show the hurt, the sorrow
Will we ever find the words that heal?

Mindless Game
You cried to me, relied on me
You trusted me, I said: “it’s okay”
You looked at me, sighed and agreed
You promised me you’d try your very best
But are things really okay?
Or is that just something we need to say?
We live to find ourselves
Within this mindless game
We play ‘til we can’t breathe
And still we feel no shame
I think we’ve lost ourselves
Playing this mindless game
We crawl right back for more
And still we feel no shame
I cried to you, relied on you
I trusted you, you said: “it’s okay”
I looked at you, I disagreed
I promised you, I’d never try again
Things are not okay
I’m sick of lying to myself
We live to find ourselves
Within this mindless game
We play ‘til we can’t breathe
And still we feel no shame
I think we’ve lost ourselves
Playing this mindless game
We crawl right back for more
And still we feel no shame
We live to find ourselves
Within this mindless game
We play ‘til we can’t breathe
And still we feel no shame
I think we’ve lost ourselves
Playing this mindless game
We crawl right back for more
And still we feel no shame
We’re crying again, we rose and fell
The rules don’t change, I guess it’s not okay

Stormy Weather
Your smile humbled the stars when you sat in that old wooden chair
I’ve lost track of time since you’ve gone
Your eyes were the mirrors to my soul
The ink to my pen, the lyrics to my song
Dear, our love will last forever
It will fight the stormy weather
Even though we’re not together
Dear, true love will last forever
Our love was our sandcastle, delicate and beautiful
Until the tide came along to sweep our dreams away
My love, you’ve drifted into the endless ocean
I want to swim to you, but you always used to say…
Dear, our love will last forever
It will fight the stormy weather
Even though we’re not together
Dear, true love will last forever
Dear, our love will last forever
It will fight the stormy weather
Even though we’re not together
Dear, true love will last forever
Dear, true love will last forever

My Fate
She walks on the stage
Another name read off the page
She’s fighting with her fears
But will they hear
The shaky voice inside
Will this hurt her pride?
She’s waited all these years
Hopes this don’t end in tears
My knees are shaking
I must be dreaming
Is it too late?
As I start walking
The hands are clapping
This stage, is it my fate?
Feels like she’s all alone
She grabs the microphone
She begins to sing
Don’t hear a thing
Panic setting in
Shaking in her skin
Folks aren’t too discreet
It’s a courageous defeat
My knees are shaking
I must be dreaming
Is it too late?
As I start walking
The hands are clapping
This stage, is it my fate?
People wish they had half her courage
They hide their envy with criticism
The only people worth a damn will encourage
My knees aren’t shaking
Feels like I’m dreaming
It’s not too late
As I start walking
The hands are clapping
This stage, it is my fate!
