1. Oh!(music: Craig - lyrics: Mark/Craig - melody: Mark/Craig)
so familiar with the places, those they've done before and some you still don't know
so familiar with the graces, but just so ya know, my time is short, so it's time for you to go
inhale you as I ponder over where I'll be and what I'll soon become
derail you as I wander over where I see the shiver soon will come
not overstating measures, just prepared to offer all it is I know
not overrating pleasure, but if you wanna see, that it is so then come with me
cuz it's time for you to go
I don't have to be the one, no beginnings have begun,
after all, it all will end, no use trying to pretend
that you're the one I want to know, I just wanna make you go
2. Comin' Around (music: Craig - lyrics: Mark/Craig - melody: Mark/Craig)
it's been so long I know, though sometimes I pretend cuz it hasn't really been that long since then
it's been so wrong I know, though I didn't intend to be
another song I know, that I'll have to defend cuz it doesn't make sense, and it probably won't end
but it doesn't make sense, and it never does end for me, but it's comin' around...
it's comin' around once again, it is...
this one-on-one long ride, 'til you're empty inside never sounded so good, never sounded alive
cuz the sound when I drowned, hit resound as it ground out the me
still I can't deny, that the moment I fly when the taste of a breath pulls the death out of I
is the why that defies all the whys that my eyes really see, still it's comin' around...
I've tried to stop my heart from beating cuz I weaken when I hear the sound
I know it's comin' around
3. Cleared Out & Off Again (music: Craig - lyrics & melody: Mark)
cleared out & off again, I'm right back where I started and I don't feel too much sadness, though the madness soon will come upon me forcing out evaluation, hopefully a realization as the should'ves and the could'ves feed on my self-deprecation
cleared out & off again, guess I just lost another friend but maybe we can talk again, when all of this is over
cleared out & off again, and though my heart is on the mend my mind has started it's own bend, and thoughts are moving faster toward the fact that it is out of reach to find another that can teach me all that I don't know and yet learn from me what I've mastered
there's nowhere to go when the love & hate collide, it just tangles up inside
cleared out & off again, guess I just lost another friend still I hope we can talk again when all of this is over
cleared out & off again, I'm sick of trying to pretend to be another not offend, and make impressions that I know are not all me but someone else, that someone else wants me to be and all the while I sit & smile while fearing soon it's me they'll see
cleared out & off again, guess I just lost another friend I don't think we will talk again, when all of this is over
and there's nowhere to go when the love & hate collide, it just tangles up inside
cleared out & off again, guess I just lost another friend I know we'll never talk again, even when this is over
cleared out & off again, I always knew that it would end now all the memories of once when go in another folder
cleared out & off again, and only me do I defend and so to me insight I lend, on me can only I depend with others, love as might heart lets, cover all of my heart's bets but still I'm wary as I carry on & bury my regrets
and there's nowhere to go when the love & hate collide it just tangles up inside, until a place just has to die
and I don't really know why the black & white turn gray,
and will I ever find my way?
4. Disconnected (music: Craig - lyrics: Mark/Craig - melody: Mark/Craig)
The paper in the room is full of gloom & doom
and soon another tune will ring in my cocoon
that breathes & sings to me
of I and why I cannot fly and why I cannot hide
and why the other I & I collide
when I've been forced to open wide
I'll have to fake another day, I'd rather take another way
it's my mistake, so I will never show it
there is no rhyme to what I do, there is no time for me & you
the know is mine & so I know it
I am cool, I am calm, I am disconnected
a single me is what you see, unbridled, free of what is me
from me I flee into a scene
another hero from a book entitled "I Will Never Smile"
yet all the while my hero smiles and faces me with brave denials
he learned from talking with a child
those I think know me still create a place that I must learn to be
I can never break this face I know they see
peel away a piece, watch them run & scatter
never knowing if I matter
5. All Outta Dope (music: Craig - lyrics: Craig/Mark- melody: Craig/Mark)
my head's been hurtin' and it just won't seem to go away
I know for certain it'll be back today
ain't got no money, and my life's kinda lame
but that ain't the reason lately I've been going insane
I'm all outta dope---don't think I can cope, I'm all outta dope
don't think I can cope, it's really no joke, I'm all outta dope
I need some help cuz I don't think I'll last another day
I never felt without it I was o.k.
tried thinkin' drinkin' but it's just not the same
cuz a joint's the point I need to keep from going insane
I've got an empty bag, ain't even got no shwag
there's nothing left to scrape, I hope you can relate
could use a friend indeed, to share their friendly weed
I'd even settle for a bowl of seeds
6. Forgiven (music: Craig - lyrics & melody: Mark)
it's the real life, and I so wanna know the way to get, I so wanna know the way to set, I wanna know the way to let me realize cuz I know all about the things you said, I know all about the things you did, I know about the things you fed to me. I am a song that will never be complete, a wrong that will never be discrete, long is will that never sleeps through free nights, never coming to an end, it's not ever coming to ascend and I'm never coming to again
I'm thinking about all the years, and it's taking me back for more. I'm bringing about all the fears, and it's taking me back before the way I was when I shouldn't've, and the day I was when I couldn't've and to say I was when I wouldn't've, is the way I wrote it off in the name of love
there's no free ride but I still don't remember saying yes, I still don't remember praying rest, I remember playing best through these tides though the waves always did come drown on me, these days always did come 'round on me, haze always comes down on me. to be, I must be all that I ever want to be, must be that I ever want to see, trust all that I want to me. you see, I close another hole but then I'm closin' another whole but when I'm close in another hole again
I get caught up in the right & wrong of real, caught up in the right & wrong of heal, write up all the wrong I feel to see my reason for the wrong I do, reason for this song. I knew treason, I belong anew
to believe, I must take all of the time of which this takes, take all of the rhyme of which dictates, all the mine which it mistakes. a brief life which I know that I must start livin', so to me it has now been written, that for me you are forgiven.
7. Run Away & Hide (music: Craig - lyrics: Mark - melody: Mark/Craig)
blue is the color that I see
when you try and color over
gray is the shade you make my life
no ray to break away the shade with light
no, stop holding me down
I'm so low, stop molding me now
the control is folding me now
I must go, this colding me frightens my soul
which you would take if I don't...
run away & hide, no contemplation
find a way inside, no hesitation
take another ride, one more vacation
run away & hide
pain is the way you show you care
insane is the show that you prepare
free is the place I wanna end
with me in the place of you, my friend
no, stop holding me down
I'm so low, stop molding me now
the control is folding me now
I must go, this colding me frightens my soul
which you would take if I don't go with you,
I know you'll break my soul in two,
no time to wait, I...
8. I Was Wrong (music: Craig - lyrics: Mark - melody: Mark/Craig)
tried so hard to give myself to what I thought was you
all along I never felt the you showed me was true
there's so much I didn't see (can't believe you didn't notice)
couldn't say what I believed (we all talked about it for you)
there was never room to breathe (that's why we told you to leave)
so if ever I surrender, I must make myself remember
I can't believe that I was wrong, in wanting you to stay
but you kept hangin' on
I can't believe that I was wrong, in wanting you to stay
we just don't belong
tried so hard to be the one that you were wishing for
wish I knew that you'd become a wish I'd want no more
9. Nothing Good (music: Craig - lyrics: Craig/Mark- melody: Craig/Mark)
another night of who is right
I think I've had enough of this tonight
another day of nothing to say
I think it's really best to stay away
cuz I've got nothing good to say to you
cuz I think nothing good is enough for you
over & then, over again
still we finish where it all began
overdefend, over again
and still over never means the end
seems all that together means all that we weather is for naught
the days that we share and the ways that we care is just more fought
and I'm always bettin' the next time you threaten we'll dismiss
I sure wish you would, cuz I know nothing good could come of this
10. Remember (music: Craig - lyrics & melody: Craig)
I came across a letter addressed to you
another thing I wanted to but didn't do
I know I could've been there more
I know I could've made you feel
like the part of me that you are
I wanna remember you, when I've got no one to turn to
I wanna remember you...
I know that I'm the reason we couldn't last
but I'm the kind who misses what I let go past
and I'll be at your wedding, too
I just want the best for you
wish I could've been to you, what you were to me
and now I'm all alone, with nothin' to do
I thought I had something, but it's nothing really without you
11. You Don't (music: Mike Glaser & Craig - lyrics & melody: Craig)
I wanna believe what you tell me
I wanna see what you sell me
you don't hear & you don't fear &
you don't show & you don't know
you don't...
I wanna taste what you feed me
I wanna waste when you need me
you don't hear & you don't fear &
you don't show & you don't know
you don't...
you don't need & you don't bleed &
you don't care & you don't share &
you don't hear & you don't fear &
you don't show & you don't know
you don't...
12. Sideline Psychology (music: Jaimie Scott - lyrics & melody: Jaimie Scott)
you know everything, about everyone
it's indisputable, you're never wrong
I had my pride, but you made me blue
I screwed up, when I screwed you
don't want your... sideline psychology,
the games you play are killing me
you're ruining all the best years of my life
you messed me up from A to Z,
your words live on in infamy
you're making me regret making you my wife
well, a shotgun & your daddy
made our wedding, so happy
we were young, yeah, we danced and sang
then we romanced, and then I came
