Cheesecake
03:25
|
|||
If we were older I would ask you out to lunch
and we would talk about Boondock Saints,
and share some cheesecake.
I wouldn’t worry about knowing if we’d make it
since we’d live next door and the walk is nothing great.
But I have to be honest I wonder if we’ll see the day that
This misery, this little dream someday become the real thing.
You and I, living life... Proving it can be done.
And I wouldn’t second guess a thing,
because I’d know it was to be
You plus Me
It’s getting harder to sit and wait for possibilities
when surety is what I’m wanting most.
And I’m growing tired of drawing empty love conclusions
when the never dying part has been my hope.
But I have to be honest I wonder if we’ll see the day that
This misery, this little dream someday become the real thing.
You and I, living life... Proving it can be done.
And I wouldn’t second guess a thing,
because I’d know it was to be
You plus Me
What if we went for it, no sorrow, no sad regret?
What if we find out what we want is what we get?
This misery, this little dream someday become the real thing.
You and I, living life... Proving it can be done.
And I wouldn’t second guess a thing,
because I’d know it was to be
You plus Me

Painting Caskets
04:39
|

V1:
Come on let’s clean these dirty streets,
Feed the hungry,
And give water to the thirsting.
Let’s go we’ll meet the needs here,
Make it all clear,
there’s no more suffering here on Earth for them.
Chorus:
But if we withhold truth, what have we really done?
We’ve done what we were called to do, all excluding one.
We can make the world as shiny as plastic,
But without works we are only painting caskets.
V2:
So come with me and we will help
Pull Satan’s chariot back from hell,
Be a servant to the world.
But in the end what they need
Is a savior, unlike me.
I’m only make life more comfortable.

Lady Liberty
copyright 2010, Kelsey Skaggs Music
lady liberty where have you been
you wanna see slavery look at my friend
he's only 5 and he works like a man
getting paid in dimes that go to his family
he does his job and he does it well
but ask him about a toy and he couldn't tell
rest of his life will be working to the bell
where is his freedom
lady liberty where have you been
wanna see slavery look at my friend
she just got married to an open door
and traded her rags for endless war
she works in fear and tells everyone she's fine
when she comes home a mess she will find
she cannot leave and she cannot cry
where is her freedom
lady liberty where have you been
she's only 9 and she's living in a dark den
and in the night being sold as a slave too
countless men
where's her freedom

L-O-V-E

Chorus:
L-O-V-E, L-O-V-E
You are a mystery to me
L-O-V-E, L-O-V-E
You are a mystery to me
V 1:
Well I’m walking walking through the park
And I’m stopping stopping before the dark
Cause this life is only so much time.
But if you are you are here with me
Then the darkness darkness that I see
Is only so temporary.
V2:
Listen to my mind
Listen to my heart
Both are leading me into the dark
But I’ll wear a smile
And a big thumbs up
Because I am learning about...

Bad Guy
05:40
|
|||
V1: you think so highly of me
but you just wait and see
your love is words that your poor heart runs from
and you just had to eat from that tree
V2:i told you what we are before
i know my actions don't seem to agree
it'll be easy to hurt you badly
but i just cannot seem to mind, sadly
chorus:
in advance i'm sorry
you should have listened to my words
i’d like to say i'm dreading the end
but it'll be nice to be the bad guy instead of the friend
V3:there’s a place in my hands for pain
and it seems like you’re headed that way.
i want to care that i’ll be your downfall
but that’s just not the way it will play.
bridge:
if two wrongs do not make a right
then why put up such a fight?
because in the end it's going to be brutal.
i know your heart's telling you to stay
but mine's saying to punch yours in the face
and either way it leads to an end

Be the Change
03:41
|
|||
I will be the change that I seek in this world,
the only thing that I can change is me.
I will leave the rest to God he does the best
at impossible, while I change me.
A mere megaphone is what I am
and my purpose fits in God’s larger plan.
But before I can proceed
and tell the world what they must be,
I must change me.
There’s only so much we can do
between time and space they’re limited to.
So let’s each change our part of this globe
and our children will have a better place to grow.
A mere megaphone is what I am
and my purpose fits in God’s larger plan.
But before I can proceed
and tell the world what they must be,
I must change me.

Slowly Breaking Me Down
05:42
|
|||
Biting my cheek, staring at the phone
Wondering if you'll call but i know you won't.
Tallying the days that you've let me down
This is day 5.
In the beginning you liked me so well,
But the last few months i don't know what you've felt.
Time is corroding your interest in me,
So why is mine still flourishing?
You are slowly breaking me down....
Bogus talk, bogus excuse
Was I something to you aside from new?
All effort i could give didn't do anything
And now we are through.
But I held up hopes
And I held up dreams
But I was ever the only one fighting
and you didn't care to save what you could
you gave it all to me and said "do what you want".
Bridge:
and all your promises and compliments feel like a farce
and i'm left wondering if you just played your part
still here i sit, a bit broken and reduced
and feeling crazy for still thinking about you
and feeling crazy for still thinking about you....
