Lies awake in bed all day and night

Window shades closed help conceal the light

An empty closet, old carpet stains

Suitcases packed with nostalgic things

Turn the key unlock the door don’t be scared anymore

Make a wish make it will come true there is still time for you

Photos of faces that will never age

Hangs on a wall in beautiful frames

Moments captured that will never fade

Of children who loved to laugh and play

Turn the key unlock the door don’t be scared anymore

Make a wish it will come true there is still time for you

In my daydreams I would play make-believe

Taking on all the schools toughest bullies

As a teenager I did everything wrong

From the first day I knew I didn’t belong

Do you remember during high school

I sat right behind you in the classroom

All of my classmates through those difficult years

Would spread all kinds of rumors I could hear

Do they feel any pain, remorse or regret

Every day since then I have lived with it

Do you remember during high school

Making fun of me in the classroom

You will soon know me again

I’m the geek who had no friends

No one can undo what’s done

It’s too late I must move on

The final bell has rung

Four long hard years are done

A spring breeze soothes my skin

A new chapter now begins

You will soon know me again

I’m the geek who had no friends

No one can undo what’s done

It’s too late I must move on

Piano, pipe organ or any stringed instrument

Just listen to him play

Perfection allows no one mistakes

A deaf man composed beautiful symphonies

But the ninth defined what’s now a masterpiece

The greatest of maestros this world will ever get to know

Thunderstorm woke the night on a bed the Lord would take his life

A deaf man composed beautiful symphonies

But the ninth defined what’s now a masterpiece

Once again love blinded me

Safe to say my eyes deceived

Every day she’s at the mall

Bills add up it must be all my fault

Said I do over a year ago

I was young too dumb to really know

Didn’t take my friends advice

Save a dog don’t ever marry twice

Build me up and then break me down

Laugh at me as if I were a clown

Why do I bother to hang around

Guess it’s because you like to laugh at clowns

Many leaks spring from my boat

How much longer can I float

Dads last words before he died

“Take a stand my son and live your life”

Build me up and then break me down

Laugh at me as if I were a clown

Why do I bother to hang around

Guess it’s because you like to laugh at clowns

The summers gone by fast

Playing on green grass

My classmates joke about how I hide inside my tree house

My grades are getting bad

The teacher makes me mad

I often think about dad

This time of year I always get real sad

Lawnmower cuts fall grass

I wish the smell would last

Lying down I can dream of the man I will be

I’m on the radio with my best friend Rambo

As we get ready to fight I tie a red band around my head tight

I run like a hero chasing kids I hate home

No choice but to stand strong

I pray my childhood always carry’s on

Lawnmower cuts fall grass

I wish the smell would last

Lying down I can dream of the man I will be

Slaughterhouse, killing floor

Animals scream in fear behind closed doors

Impregnate with no shame

Human beings keep inflicting pain

She cries all day and all night

Her newborn babies are gone

Separated from her kids again

One day this evil industry will end

Factory farms, battery cage

Not enough room for birds to spread their wings

Inhumane, desensitize

Animals murdered on assembly lines

She cries all day and all night

Her newborn babies are gone

Separated from her kids again

One day this evil industry will end

Life hasn’t been too great

God allow me to make no more mistakes

Spent all my money on booze

Conducted myself like I had nothing to lose

Your love helps me stay clean

Be the better version of a human being

Warrantee guarantees if you don’t try you will never succeed

Heaven please wait I just have a few thing to say

The years came and went to tell you how much you have meant

Darkness turns into light

Mirror reflects the face I once recognized

As a child I would dream

Show mom and dad the great things that I could achieve

Your love helped me stay strong

Kept me in line when things were about to go wrong

Warrantee guarantees if you don’t try you will never succeed

Heaven please wait I just have a few things to say

The years came and went to tell you how much you have meant

Twenty years working the same job

Got a pension plan but I’m far from well off

I’ve suffered hard swallowed my pride

Boss man please cut me my slice of the pie

No guilty conscience I haven’t lost sleep

I did what I had to do I’m not a thief

Got a sick boy and many mouths to feed

Tired of slaving only to make ends meet

I made bookkeeping my unknown specialty

And took my cut with liabilities

No guilty conscience I haven’t lost sleep

I did what I had to do I’m not a thief

As a girl she watched the black and white films

Technicolor didn’t feel as real

Dreamed one day to be Donna Reed

Marry Cary Grant and live happily

Should have never thought twice

Should have shown him the door

Now get on with your life the one you lost the one you had before

As a woman she grew no self esteem

Settled for a man not the one of her dreams

Ignored the truth and became his wife

She learned to live with his double life

Should have never thought twice

Should have shown him the door

Now get on with your life the one you lost the one you had before

And now you lie in bed where he performed his sins

Afraid to face the truth all the lies the pain he put you through

Should have never thought twice

Should have shown him the door

Now get on with your life the one you lost the one you had before

Husband and wife married many years

Sleeping alone in their separate beds

Colleagues sitting at a counter sipping coffee for hours

A familiar face vanished and erased

Why won’t you talk to me

Why won’t you look at me

Are you too good for me

It’s just common courtesy

Show some human decency

A minister starts to question his beliefs

All he was taught does he agree

A young man hardly got to know his dad

Silent memories are all they have

A familiar voice creates disturbing noise

Why won’t you talk to me

Why won’t you look at me

Are you too good for me

It’s just common courtesy

Show some human decency

How can we be together if we don’t exist

How can we live together if we can’t be friends

Why won’t you talk to me

Why won’t you look at me

Are you too good for me

It’s just common courtesy

Show some human decency
