ALL LYRICS WRITTEN BY SHEENA GROBB: (displayed alphabetically by song title) Apologies For Profit one more time for old time sake you’ll deliver excuses that i’ll take stacking all available decks in your favour how clever with padded walls and safety nets you emerge to purge eager attempts self absorbed and swollen stiff as a result of your leakage like analogies that don’t fit like apologies for profit your fallacies are not legit like i’ve hoped and i’ll admit no more corners left to cut unless you count the one your debt is coming around you don’t fall short with integrity cause that would mean you tried to come close somehow and i asked once with unavoidable pretenses what defenses have you considering how none will do like analogies that don’t fit like apologies for profit your fallacies are not legit like i’ve hoped and i’ll admit now here’s the hook the hook you’ve been off of the hook soon to snag you there’s no one here convinced by your antics the ones that define you the ones that define you and shouldn’t but they do the ones that define you and shouldn’t but they do like analogies that don’t fit like apologies for profit your fallacies are not legit like i’ve hoped and i’ll admit Back Row Silent disguise of affection Muffled deep in your sleeve a nervous cough I hear the lines - you’ve rehearsed ‘em The matter being you’re unsure if I’ll pay off But I’m not waiting around I break real well when handled rough, I know it I think it’s best you keep your tough love where I can see it Take that or leave it I’m having problems with your line up The sign said “open mic”, not “three-man band night” Or I’d have gone up the road Oh honey you’re up next, if you play this right… But I’m not banking on career I aim for the back row, with good form I find my seat off stage, it’s still warm Nothing better, why don’t you let her sing a song or two But I’m not waiting around I break real well when handled rough, I know it I think it’s best you keep your tough love where I can see it Take that or leave it But I’m not banking on career I aim for the back row, with good form I find my seat off stage, it’s still warm Nothing better, why don’t you let her sing a song or two Bartered Eyes relax to light Did someone send for me? Do I know you? Do I know you? You seem awfully far Away from me Disappointment floods the fortune Chorus: Willing fate for that, it can not be Instead of what you wanted, you got me Molding flesh like clay Doesn’t work that way How bout if I carry on the name Willing fate for that, it can not be Instead of what you wanted, you got me I wanna be a deeper sea, not this raining mess I wanna be of certainty, and not a wild guess Just fine at best Bulldog Put down your baggage where you stand Don’t lug it all in Before you start I have a mark to make You come out swingin’ And flexing your muscle and your memory of me Falling short, falling through, too easily Go on and be the thing I thought you were Go on and make the mess I thought you might Clear my head and prove the things I’ve conjured I’m never wrong and all along it’s been in plain sight You know I adore you Disregard my hands wrapped around your neck I hope by now you know I’d never squeeze You come out seethin’ Offensive and downright aggravating And I give it back with the bulldog bark you hate Go on and be the thing I thought you were Go on and make the mess I thought you might Clear my head and prove the things I’ve conjured I’m never wrong and all along it’s been in plain sight Go on and be the thing I thought you were Go on and make the mess I thought you might Clear my head and prove the things I’ve conjured I’m never wrong and all along it’s been in plain sight I’m never wrong and all along it’s been in plain sight Could I be wrong when all along it’s been in plain sight Careless scratch until it bleeds tease until it feeds on you no one meets your needs like I do but it’s empty depleting me and I fill it with the will to please you but I can’t be careless I can’t be careless I can’t be careless with myself anymore anymore no one thought she’d leave how can one believe it all let her be to grieve a great fall from the sky to the floor his bed to the door and I wonder if he knows I adored him but I can’t be careless I can’t be careless I can’t be careless with myself anymore anymore I can’t be careless I can’t be careless I can’t be careless with myself anymore anymore… Character Always waiting for a word left unsaid. Always looking for a roadblock ahead. But don’t watch the road – just keep your eyes fixed on me. I’m an army and for you I’ll extend Both my arms, an attempt to mend What’s broken and failing to be cured. In time I’ll erase your hurt. You’re a fighter and you always were. May your body be strong drawn from strength of character. When we were babies, we had no idea. And all the ‘maybes’ of our teenage years All but took us out before we even felt in. In time I’ll erase your hurt. You’re a fighter and you always were. May your body be strong drawn from strength of character. If who you are matters at all When this goes down, if it goes down at all Then you by far, you have raised the bar. In time I’ll erase your hurt. You’re a fighter and you always were. May your body be strong May your body be strong May your body be strong drawn from strength of character Strength of character God knows you’re a fighter and you always were How this will end, I can’t be sure But I know your strength of character Always waiting for a word left unsaid. Always looking for a roadblock ahead. But don’t watch the road – just keep your eyes fixed on me. Clean and Discreetly use the key i gave you as if your own a brand new place for us to merge in i promise soon you’ll look like me from proximity a taller balder older version you can shower first and i’ll wait my turn i’ll bear the shock of water that’s cold you can rest assured that i’ll invade your space invited until otherwise told and be as it is and how imperfect i am in light of open wounds that still burn for all that you accept i’ve wept not knowing it’s earned and patiently you waited for me to learn at my level i wonder do you have tendencies to steal back your socks from off my feet hope you know that i’ll always put them back and replenish your pile with my own clean and discreetly and be as it is and how imperfect i am in light of open wounds that still burn for all that you accept i’ve wept not knowing it’s earned and patiently you waited for me to learn rent’s gone up and so have the stakes bending’s not enough so now we’re folding i thought it’d be harder my mistake i never could forget whose heart i’m holding i never could forget whose heart i’m holding and be as it is and how imperfect i am in light of open wounds that still burn for all that you accept i’ve wept not knowing it’s earned and patiently you waited for me to learn be as it is how imperfect in light of open wounds that burn for all that you accept i’ve wept not knowing it’s earned and patiently you waited for me and honestly you waited for me and selflessly you waited for me to learn Comfort Zone Seven degrees below my comfort zone A giant stride passed a line you crossed These walls endure the fall whether friend or foe And I the consequence, the harm, the cost Kindly return to me what you take… Cause my body doesn’t lie to me Oh you do it so well Oddly enough these warnings I have learned to head Tell me run like hell Believe me when I say I’d have had it your way If it weren’t for feeling like the least I could do When you’re bent out of shape, keeping at bay Your edges are sharper than you think and I bruise Kindly return to me what you take… Cause my body doesn’t lie to me Oh you do it so well Oddly enough these warnings I have learned to head Tell me run like hell Of all the ways to harbour shame, I’m familiar Of all the ways to place the blame, I knew you were Of all the ways to harbour shame, I’m familiar Of all the ways to place the blame, I knew you were Of all the ways, the ways, I’m familiar Of all the ways, the ways, I knew you were Cause my body doesn’t lie to me Oh you do it so well Oddly enough these warnings I have learned to head Tell me run like hell Confession oh God i’ve got a confession to make see somewhere beneath falling debris i made a huge mistake he said he’d always fight so I closed my eyes tight and threw the words like knives he said he’d always fight but he meant he’d fight for me it never seemed to ever get that bad to me then i looked at him, i looked at him and i knew when did i miss the part on living a lie cause i know right now he saw right through, and i’m sorry so far i’m 0 for 9000 or more these damn mental wars, they never get won and i’m screwed of a strategy he said he’d go to hell so i closed his suitcase and stuck it in the door he said he’d go to hell if i stayed hell-bent to see it through it never seemed to ever get that bad to me then i looked at him, i looked at him and i knew when did i miss the part on living a lie cause i know right now he saw right through, and i’m sorry he said i know you’re wrong but we both know that i’m not the one to change your mind he said i know you’re wrong so hit me with it hard and i’ll endure it never seemed to ever get that bad then i looked at him, i looked at him and i knew when did i miss the part on living a lie cause i know right now that he saw right through Cut Off when construction outside won’t let me break up the day with a nap of four hours bidding begins with a phone call and you send flowers i know better like cats know windows and when i hit the glass they hit the deck i know awareness of time won’t change it and still i check cut off and still able and that’s the worst part all movements shut off waiting wasteful moments to restart when you informed me i think of how far removed i was from noticing what happens when you leave as if my right arm’s been taken clean off of me and i’m the empty sleeve cut off and still able and that’s the worst part all movements shut off waiting wasteful moments to restart running the risk of shifting the focus from the time of your life and my needing some running the risk of shifting the focus from the time of your life and my needing some of your time distorted and delayed is fine whatever time you’ve got i’ll take it’s my turn to wait i do best inside well worn sweaters intently drawn to tether on repeat cause when she sings the word “aching” i believe that she aches but i could compete cut off and still able and that’s the worst part all movements shut off waiting wasteful moments to restart cut off and still able Diggin’ In thank God that hope is not as fleeting as guilty thoughts of how we’re diggin’ in thank God that hope is not as fleeting as guilty thoughts of how we’re diggin’ in bubble i’m living in – my home, my home i know nothing of need, i know nothing of war trouble is coming and it feels so long this pebble in our glass slipper and still i am willing to try and still i am willing to try and still and still thank God that hope is not as fleeting as guilty thoughts of how we’re diggin’ in thank God that hope is not as fleeting as guilty thoughts of how we’re diggin’ in we’re playing make believe – don’t cry, don’t cry get while the getting’s good, greed is our lifestyle never sastisfied this comfort is our joy in the ride and still i am willing to try and still i am willing to try and still and still thank God that hope is not as fleeting as guilty thoughts of how we’re diggin’ in thank God that hope is not as fleeting as guilty thoughts of how

diggin’ in thank God that hope is not as fleeting as guilty thoughts of how we’re diggin’ in Get Out Alive Something inside me says “Come out with it… go on. Of all your trapped down cares, release this one.” In the strangest way…buried alive. In the strangest way…buried alive. Something inside my chest says “Feel this, damn you. I’m not going anywhere but deeper in you.” In the strangest way…buried alive. In the strangest way…buried alive. Alive. Get out alive. Get out alive. Alive. In the strangest way. I see clearly how I nearly stayed under. I’ve lost sight of my inner light no longer. I see clearly how I nearly stayed under. I’ve lost sight of my inner light no longer. Get out alive. Get out alive. Get out alive. Alive. In the strangest way… Getting Warmer Forcing it to happen. Begging it to come Into my existence like a day begs to be done. I can always feel the tension When you’re holding something back. A body barely breathing All the pressure of a heart attack You’re getting warmer And I’m losing heat… But I don’t need it anymore. Chorus: Waving my hands around Trying to make noise. Fanning the fire down Making a choice. Is that how you see me? Is that how you see me if you see me at all. Yearning your approval and even more your pride. Feeling your opinion of me Somehow will decide. My worth in all this madness if someone else confirms The good or right in everything My life on someone else’s terms. You’re getting warmer And I’m losing heat… But I don’t need it anymore. Chorus: Waving my hands around Trying to make noise. Fanning the fire down Making a choice. Is that how you see me? Is that how you see me if you see me… Twisted dance and one more chance And all the holes to fill. The many clear distractions, poor attractions Drawn to a weakened will. Until… I just don’t need it anymore. Chorus: Waving my hands around Trying to make noise. Fanning the fire down Making a choice. Is that how you see me? Is that how you see me? Is that how you see me? Oh…. I don’t need it anymore… Good Reason don’t go sending pity flowers i’m not dead i never was human living hurt never let me forget that i swear i saw him little demon fate wrecking hell on my path oh but your will demands attention to your hands a far more tempting concern in the hands of another must be my salvation not in my own how sure how sure was i bear with me lover and i’ll promise you this i’ll be for you what you have been for me I was unafraid all through the dragons I slayed when I was clawing for air and brave was I though through my eyes at the time I’d have disagreed I was once prepared to leave this life courageous Oh but I choose to stay and stare at you all day and be a happiness pie in the hands of another must be my salvation not in my own how sure how sure was i bear with me lover and i’ll promise you this i’ll be for you what you have been for me with all the harsh and hopeless beginnings peace found me when i found you in the hands of another must be my salvation not in my own how sure how sure was i bear with me lover and i’ll promise you this i’ll be for you what you have been for me what you have been for me my good reason to save myself Hall Light Today is the day I move the couch back From pressed up against the front door Apparently, two or three of these a day Will steer my ship back to shore Build it up, leading up to the moment I let someone through. And he hits his head on my low hanging hall light. The light I hang low for my own reaching, cause it Guards my fortress long after invasion. I’m prey to persuasion when he’s crouched in my hall light. I’ll say this before he walks in and out Then in again wasting my time I cannot take one more fake song and dance That knocks me down the mountain I’ve climbed And he hits his head on my low hanging hall light. The light I hang low for my own reaching, cause it Guards my fortress long after invasion. I’m prey to persuasion when he’s crouched in my hall light. Letting me down has been a group effort And I know that he’s capable too. Can someone please shock me with more than I’d hope for. God knows my demands are few. Build it up, leading up to the moment I love someone new. And he hits his head on my low hanging hall light. The light I hang low for my own reaching, cause it Guards my fortress long after invasion. I’m prey to persuasion when he’s crouched in my hall light. Hazard Markings The night is cold and mighty winds are tearing up the sky. My hand finds your hand like a secret Finds a place to hide. But there are hazard markings on me. The lightly freckled kind Saying don’t take one more step Save yourself, or lose your mind Chorus: I thought I told you timing was a tyrant I obey. Stay away. Safe but lonely, life impatient Waiting for a move I’m like a sinking rock in the ocean Better me than you Chorus: I thought I told you timing was a tyrant I obey. Stay away. Stay away. Your lips, they move, but they’re not talking. They dance around in this game. Try for me. Try for me. Try to see, Then leave the way you came. The night is cold and mighty winds Tearing up the sky… I thought I told you timing was a tyrant I obey. I’m not prepared for prying eyes, despite their softened gaze. Stay away. The night is cold and mighty winds Tearing up the sky… Head On the further back i trace for footprints trespassing in safe guarded space i find overlap of not one set but more the coward’s map who’s sadly on course sealed in an airtight cage where nothing ever changes or it phases in and out a better deal may be open for negotiations but let’s face it once the lineup’s made we know what this is about scarred by human labels and so cautiously drifting the wall’s been hit head on my voice can take the screaming but i feel better heard standing facing this head on before the steady aim became a skill backwards thinking engrained cause i find food for thought in poison fields far reaching bare handed fought pulling roots long leaching the ground revealed in a hate filled rage in no way isolated a clear indication of the battles some fight and by battles i mean of the fatal kind as well as very much alive with wounds better hidden scarred by human labels and so cautiously drifting the wall’s been hit head on my voice can take the screaming but i feel better heard standing facing this head on my voice can take the screaming but i feel better heard standing facing needless fear-filled hate in all its horror all its horror and we will be heard and we will be heard and we will be heard facing this head on Leave it all behind Three bright lights all treeline high I’m nearly home Tires ride the beaten miles down the road A picture I never thought would change A memory my mind often replayed A way of being I thought everyone obeyed There are harder things to grieve Let me hold you before leave And we’ll cry it out and feel it one last time Then leave it all behind The window frames a familiar face In the dining room The smell of happy and a trace of Warm perfume A picture I never thought would change A memory my mind often replayed A way of being I thought everyone obeyed There are harder things to grieve Let me hold you before leave And we’ll cry it out and feel it one last time Then leave it all behind Three bright lights all treeline high I’m nearly home Make It So No one can tell, when thick skins harden to shells, the damage inside. I picture you, floating freely, finding currents to ride. Make it so. Love yourself like you loved me. with compassion, with a gentle hand. Make it so. Make it so. Build your home on rocks and glass, but be humble to the changing sand. Make it so. Feel your way through layered pain and then maybe you will understand. I caught a glimpse of who you were at the time, a flash of brightened light. Shift as you will, from ever moving to still, from on the ground to… in flight. Make it so. Build your home on rocks and glass, but be humble to the changing sand. Make it so. Feel your way through layered pain and come find me there, combing the ground….for you…make it so. Be gone, be gone. Be gone, be gone, ghost shadow…what was.
