Living For the other 03:00
lyrics
buy track
You can’t tell a secret if you can’t tell a lie Then ask for forgiveness with a wink and a smile It’s no ones business if you laugh or cry Dying comes easy when your living for the other side Every star every planet goes around and around Born from the ashes that give life to the ground Faith was born from belief in another life Dying comes easy when your living for the other side Some believe when were done were done No mansions of glory no chosen ones Some believe this life was never meant to last It began with a bang and end with a flash Out of fire and brimstones rose the mansions of gold Built on the shattered bones of martyred souls God and faith are victims of there battle cry’s Dying comes easy when your living for the other side Some believe what never ends can not begin again Creation is a circle no beginning no end The seed we choose to sow whether wrong or right For death is a harvesting of everlasting life You can’t tell a secret if you can’t tell a lie Then ask for forgiveness with a wink and a smile It’s no ones business if you laugh or cry

Broken Once Twice forgiven 03:15
lyrics

Fears come creeping in my window Can't hide the lighting from the rain Summer breeze is blowing colder Fall is near fearing winter’s pain Broken once twice forgiven Promise to see another day AND If three’s a charm and silence is golden Don't say a word just walk away Some where the moonlight is hiding Must be afraid to show her face Whippoorwill he's STILL crying Lost again in some forbidden place Broken once twice forgiven Promise to see another day AND If three's a charm and silence is golden Don't say a word just walk away How many dreams must I awake from Where memories lost for memories sake How many promises are broken For another promise to be made Broken once twice forgiven Promise to see another day AND If three's a charm and silence is golden Don't say a word just walk away Just walk away

Do I Go In Tonight 02:52
lyrics

Theres a bar on every corner Theres a girl in every town Lord knows I’ve been wasted Wasted dreams I’ve never found Like a shot of rotten whiskey It burns me up inside Theres a bar on every corner Do I go in tonight? Cause the whiskey fades her memory Makes it her easy to forget in the arms of another another drunk with no regret So I’ll just stand here on this corner and watch my world collide And ask myself again…. ..do I go in tonight? Don’t tempt me whisky Don’t’ take what is mine For her memories are all I’ve got left And it’s almost closing time I sit here on this corner And watch my world go by Ask myself again Do I go in tonight? Theres a bar on every corner Theres a girl in every town Lord knows I still want them I can’t keep those feelings down And like a shot of whiskey It burns me up inside There’s a bar on every corner Do I go in tonight? Go in tonight
