eye to eye
music by Spalding & O'Reilly lyrics by Spalding ©1997

I, I know why
That you and I don't see eye to eye
And, my old friend
That you and I can't see eye to eye

When you call again
I'll be the one on the other end
And in the end
We will see through and it all depends

You and I both know
That a hardened heart will grow
Resistance to temptation
Will lead you back again

lemonheads
music & lyrics by Sean O'Reilly ©1997

Now it's goin on twenty-four hours
Lemonheads all the way home
Two hours back and on thirty-one
See my city lights won't burn here anymore

Flyin' I see the horizon
Holdin' on for what's below
I see her face it comes and goes
Maybe it's my imagination

Now you're sayin' it's forever
It's two a.m. and no one's home
I feel the night and know you're alone
Lately it's my imagination

didn't know
music & lyrics by Scott Spalding ©1996

Didn't know what i had
'Till I threw it all away
Didn't know what it meant
'Till i held it in my hand
But you came along
And showed me I was wrong

Through my inner thoughts held myself at bay
Through the clouds I spot a mind in disarray
Wouldn't it be a farce if they told the truth to us
Then who'd come along to sing a soothing song

Didn't know what i had
'Till I threw it all away
Didn't know what it meant
'Till i held it in my hand
But you came along
And showed me I was wrong

one more time
music & lyrics by Steve Ansfield ©1998

I never wanted to be
The one to bring you down
Through pain of other lovers
We learn to stand our ground

I feel the time is right now
Kick start our love again
Although you hide it I can feel your love
Can see it in your eyes

No one here before you
And no one since your gone
Has ever made me feel true love
Just one more time my darling
Before you say goodbye
Together we'll reach the stars above

The time we had apart
Has made me realize
Our hearts can mend if you want them to
Together reach new highs

Tell me we'll try together
I pledge my love to you
If you'd only say you love me too
We'll spend our lives together
We'll make our dreams come true
My promise is in this song for you

down
music by Spalding, O'Reilly & Meger lyrics by Spalding ©1997

Do you feel right?
Do you feel right?
When the clouds come down
Down on you

When the knife comes down
And there ain't no one around
And I feel it getting tight
Well I know, I know and baby it's too late

When the black clouds come
Down on you
When the black clouds come
You know it's true

When your dark clouds come down on you

burn
music & lyrics by Scott Spalding ©1996

Burn burn, when will you learn
Burn burn, you show no concern

The ignorance it makes you blind
You run away claiming no tie
The lives you hurt, the time you steal
Makes me wonder why this is real

Burn, burn when will you learn
Burn, burn you show no concern

A black body in a black bag
A wandering ghost crying out back
A wailing mother dressed in black
holds her daughter from running back
A black shadow is coming down
to a place in your hometown
Committing terror and spreading hurt
burning people and a black church

grace
music & lyrics by Scott Spalding ©1997

Dreaming last night that you were here
You held me so tight that I could not breathe
How dare you come so late
And think I would wait
But now that you’re here all I can think of is
Your grace, your grace

Here in my hands are keys to the promise lands
Like words in a book through my eyes into my mind
From where does it come to a man thought so dumb
But now that it's here all I can think of is your face, her face

You held me so tight that I could not breathe
But now that you’re here all I can think of is
Your grace, your grace

in my head
music & lyrics by Steve Ansfield ©1996

When everything seems to fail
And nothing is certain anymore
There's a place that I find in my mind
And I try not to cry
And I've been there before

No matter how hard I seem to try
To erase you from my mind
I run on through the memories of you
And what you tried to do
I cant take anymore

In my head
There's a place that I find
In my head
And I try not to cry
What's been said
And my heart turns to stone
I stand alone

conceived
music by Spalding & O'Reilly lyrics by Spalding ©1998

My whispers echo through my guilded cage
Trapped by the locks that I once made
The clock ticks louder with longer days
Where does my time go no one can say

I thought I had the keys to all my dreams
I felt that I could not conceive

Colored light shafts shine in peacock grays
Reflecting pools of liquid taste
Drifting leaves swirl in unseen waves
My quiet shadow melts in malaise

I thought I had the keys to all my dreams
I felt that I could not conceive

sanctuary
music & lyrics by Steve Ansfield ©1998

Moonlight in her hair
You know I'd bleed for her
Sunlight she's still there
I give it all for her

The pressures of this world
They're coming down on me
There's a certain sexy girl
Who's love can set me free

She offers sanctuary
From a cold cold world
Sanctuary
Such a lovely girl

Moonlight in her hair
You know I'd bleed for her
Sunlight she's still there
I give it all for her

She's my strength when I feel weak
And so all alone
We don't have to speak
Our souls are flying home

holding everything
music by O'Reilly lyrics by Vail & O'Reilly ©1995

Oh my precious one
Life has just begun
Straight from mother's milk
Now you need a gun
What are you tryin to prove
Who are you tryin to be
With your destruction

Open up your eyes
Take a look at life
The sun smiles down on you
But all you feel is rain
Where's the anger coming from
Where are you tryin to run
What's your direction
With your destruction

You're Holding Everything
Your actions still remain when your gone

wrong
music & lyrics by Scott Spalding ©1996

I thought I was wrong, but I was wrong
I thought I was right, but I was wrong
You showed me the way but it was wrong
They took it away, but I was so strong

Knocked on your door but you were gone
Your momma she said, said she was alone
Why don't you come in, I'll give you some
Then she gave me fun, right on the floor

You walked in, saw us on the floor
I was busy with rug so hey what is so wrong
You pissed me off so I rode it down
I was busy with rug so what was so wrong

what it means
music & lyrics by Sean O'Reilly ©1995

I can’t believe what’s happening
The sky is falling down on me
Maybe I just don’t know what it means

I cant believe this tragedy
Always throwing my best foot forward
Never thought I could fall so damn hard
Maybe I just don’t know what it means
The sky is coming down and threatening
Maybe I will just turn in
And say goodnight

I cant believe this tragedy
Always putting my best foot forward
Why is Everything abandoning
Maybe I just don’t know what it means
what it means
what it means
