Only For You

Who could have known that
Who really shows that
Everything that I believe
Everything that I can see
You know I’d give you anything that I have
Show you anything that I am
Tell you anything if it helps you
Know how I feel it
Know that you need me to
Be the best that I can be
Share the things only we can see
Be the best that I can be
In time all your dreams could come true
Only for you
Knowing that I hide it
Never knowing where to find it
You see it all, but it's out of reach
You see it all, but maybe you can teach me, not to
Give you anything that I have
Show you anything of what I am
Tell you anything, 'cause it won’t help you
Know how I feel it
Never knowing if you need me to…
Be the best that I can be
Share the things only we can see
Be the best that I can be
In time all your dreams might come true
Only for you
Shout something and the light blow out
We start talking and the sun goes down
It’s getting late for that kind of thing, they say…
But what do they know?
Cause they could never know that
Or really show that
Everything that we believe
Everything that we can see
You know we’d sell them everything that we have
Show them everything that we are
Tell them everything, if it helps them
But they'll never know how we feel it
They will never know when we mean it
We're the best that we can be
Even though I know I can't be that thing you need
We're the best that we can be
And in time all our dreams will come true
Only for you
Only for you
Only for you
You

Measure of the Man

It’s the measure of the man
He’ll take everything that he can
It’s the measure of the man
He’ll steal your future from your hands
It’s the measure of the man
He’ll rob you blind and leave you far behind
He’ll love you, leave you, move on
Blame you and break you
All because he can
That doesn’t make him a man
It’s the measure of the girl
She’ll trade the truth for your world
It’s the measure of the girl
She’ll give her love then turn cold
It’s the measure of the girl
She’ll take your kids, your money and a man
She’ll tease you, leave you, fleece you
Arrest and release you
She’ll take your world
That’s not what makes a girl
But, it’s the measure of our world
Lawyers chase ambulance
It’s the measure of our world
Everybody’s claiming their expenses
But, you can’t Voice, dance or sing your way out of this we’ve made
It’s the measure of our world
Speech is free but what you say is not
It’s the measure of our world
Even freedom of choice has its cost
It’s the measure of our world
Kick you down and bankers won’t let you up
They’re flirty, dirty, greedy, easy and sleazy
And, then bailed out
What’s that all about?
It’s the measure of our world
Politicians lie, but we forget
It’s the measure of our world
News is fake, facts are second best
But we just sing and hide ourselves from this mess we’ve made
It’s the measure of our world
Greed decides who lives or dies
It’s the measure of our world
People’s suffering is covered up with lies
We just swipe, click and sing ourselves into a smaller cage
It’s the end of this world

Beautiful

Lost in everything I do
Feeling incomplete without you
It happens every day
Life gets in the way
See bad in everything around me
Black thoughts engulf and surround me
When darkness holds the key
Fear is all you see
But we could be beautiful
We should be beautiful
Don’t let the fear take control
Dreams that I never wake from
Hold all the clues I never learned from
'Cause in my waking hours
I’m always trapped in that tower
But we could be beautiful
We should be beautiful
Don’t let the fear take control
You see roadblocks in your way
No matter where you turn you always stay
Doesn’t have to be our call
We can break those walls
Because we’re beautiful
They try to throw us away
Don’t don’t don’t let the fear
Take control
'Cause we’re beautiful
They try to drag us down
So, don’t let the fear
Take control

One Step Away

All I can do, to tell the truth
Is laugh in your face
All you can do and I know you’re through
Is bury your head in the sand
And I’ll help you dig that hole
I won’t let you falter or fall
No, I’ll keep you there, I won’t let them stare
At the fool you’ve become
I’ll shield you from the bore you are
By lying in your ear
And I’ll pretend you’re doing just fine
I'll say the words that make it sound kind
Cause you’re just one step away
From being kicked in the face
You’re just one step away
From being an unsolved murder case
You just don’t make sense
You stand on both sides of the fence
At the same time
…changed you, you haven’t got a clue
Forgetting more than you know
Your ears are close, that mind has froze
And everyone knows it but you
But I’ll tie that noose for you
It’s the very least that I can do… for you
Cause you’re just one step away
From being shot in the head
You’re just one step away
From being more interesting dead
You just don't make sense
You stand on both sides of the fence
At the same time
Time to say goodbye

Go There

You built a wall around your mind
No doors, no ladder to climb
And you said I couldn’t go there
You locked your love away
No feelings left to display
You know I couldn’t go there
When the world turns black inside
No sunlight, no hope, nowhere to hide
You know I couldn’t go there, anymore
I thought I’d found my way in
No stone unturned, no sin unsinned
I crossed over to your world
And you didn’t notice that I was there
No starry skies, by firelight
Just silver bullets that shoot on sight
I was close then, that I got burnt
I can’t join you
No matter how I feel
I can never join you
Since you sealed the deal
You left this world
Selfish and cold
No word of why
No right to die
I’ll see you
When I’m beyond old
