Jesse 04:16
Jesse She walks into a room As he walks away Doesn’t know if she should go or if she should stay Talking over the night Alcohol turns to coffee Can they ever make this right Lost sense of reality Back on that fall day Decides to stay but doesn’t know What the future will pay Can she ever make this right Jesse goes along her way Loses reality each day She doesn’t see the actions hurting her When will she know Needs to leave and let him go Jesse, help yourself…Jesse please help yourself Jesse reaches out to all her friends Only to realize they’ve gone another way After all her thoughts involve her When will she go her own way And wake up to reality Jesse goes along her way Loses reality each day She doesn’t see the actions hurting her When will she know Needs to leave and let him go Jesse, help yourself…Jesse please help yourself Jesse move on, sing your own song, go along your way, find your happiness and fly, fly so high, Jesse fly…. Jesse goes along her way Loses reality each day She doesn’t see the actions hurting her When will she know Needs to leave and let him go Jesse, help yourself…Jesse please help yourself Jesse find your way, and say goodbye…

Turn the Page Waking up staring at the clock It’s the same old time Following my regular routine Torturous grind I’ve realized this needs to change Need to get away No more day in, day out Time to make a change Turn the page Time to start a new No more of this déjà vu just to make it through (Repeat) This book has just begun but now its time Time to turn the page Looking out the window Staring at the city Everything right there for the taking but completely out of reach What would happen if I let all this go No dreams without risk And you can never look back, never look back Turn the page Time to start a new No more of this déjà vu just to make it through (Repeat) This book has just begun but now its time Time to turn the page Break the pattern, break the routine. Break out of the scene, chase a dream… Turn the page Time to start a new No more of this déjà vu just to make it through (Repeat) This book has just begun but now its time Time to turn the page

In Another Life At midnight in London such a beautiful face Looks at me like I’m from a different place We get in the car and drift away To a distant past day I realize I’m in a different century A whole other person in history I realize it’s not as different as it seems But can it be, can it be I drift away back into the past The whiskey and fancy cigarettes will not last Talking over all these different times Where life was shorter and we drank vintage wine But as far back as I go One thing that I know People are the same Almost no one has changed In another life I speak to some poets in an old café Things were so different back in that old day Can we go back to a simpler place Maybe not but I’ll never forget that face I realize I’m in a different century A whole other person in history I realize it’s not as different as it seems But can it be, can it be I drift away back into the past The whiskey and fancy cigarettes will not last Talking over all these different times Where life was shorter and we drank vintage wine But as far back as I go One thing that I know People are the same Almost no one has changed In another life Turns out times aren’t as different as they seem We all still laugh, we all still dream I drift away back into the past The whiskey and fancy cigarettes will not last Talking over all these different times Where life was shorter and we drank vintage wine But as far back as I go One thing that I know People are the same Almost no one has changed In another life In another life, in another life, in another life

Cured Insanity Was a time not long ago Everything seemed to change All the spirit left within dwindled to the ground Haunted by the demons left rested in his soul Wondering why it feels this way at all Drinking away his pain, that’s no use to cease for sure He needs to seek an angel to take his grief away He needs to seek an angel to take his grief away The fear is in the eye of the beholder Everyone turns their backs as he looks over his shoulder The fear is in the eye of the beholder Everyone turns their backs as he looks over his shoulder The songs they play their haunting symphonies all night As he tosses and turns with blinded sight of the realities made right When will the truth become clear Why does his heard bleed of fear The fear is in the eye of the beholder Everyone turns their backs as he looks over his shoulder The fear is in the eye of the beholder Everyone turns their backs as he looks over his shoulder Hold on Make the changes Time will takes its toll, he’ll see the light The fear is in the eye of the beholder Everyone turns their backs as he looks over his shoulder The fear is in the eye of the beholder Everyone turns their backs as he looks over his shoulder Wondering why this must be The unhappiness of insanity Wondering how to cease this calamity This burden’s not something new It’s the truth he must see Needing to wake up to CURED INSANITY…

I Don’t Need You Anymore You walk up to me and say its over Though you had these feelings all along My heart starts to crumble But inside I’m feeling oh so humbled I don’t need you anymore (goodbye, goodbye) I’m much better now that you’ve gone (and I don’t need you anymore) You’ll never know what you’ve missed I hope you cherish that last kiss (Goodbye, goodbye) I don’t need you anymore I spent a few too many times thinking of you When that was all such wasted time Why oh why was I so blue (such a waste of time) But I don’t need you I don’t need you anymore (goodbye, goodbye) I’m much better now that you’ve gone (and I don’t need you anymore) You’ll never know what you’ve missed I hope you cherish that last kiss (Goodbye, goodbye) I don’t need you anymore Get over yourself, you are done. Good luck finding someone I have won, I have won I don’t need you anymore (goodbye, goodbye) I’m much better now that you’ve gone (and I don’t need you anymore) You’ll never know what you’ve missed I hope you cherish that last kiss (Goodbye, goodbye) I don’t need you anymore…I don’t need you anymore…I don’t need you anymore…I don’t need you anymore

Goodbye 04:50
Goodbye Walking through this dark room I see your face Takes me by surprise as I look the other way How ironic How can it be We’ve been so far away You are haunting me Is there any other way out It’s a moment for me to run I can’t see your face It’s all negative, I need positive Gotta keep this pace Go away, why do you keep steppin’ into my life That was years ago I’m over this…Goodbye Out and about around the town I see a shadow pass by me Takes me by surprise as I look the other way How ironic How can it be Now I’m feeling a bit too uneasy Haunting me, get away from me Is there any other way out It’s a moment for me to run I can’t see your face It’s all negative, I need positive Gotta keep this pace Go away, why do you keep steppin’ into my life That was years ago I’m over this…Goodbye Now I’ve broken free You can’t bother me anymore The past is in the past Let’s shut the eternal door No more haunting, no more ironic stories Time for me to feel the end of this story It’s a moment for me to run I can’t see your face It’s all negative, I need positive Gotta keep this pace Go away, why do you keep steppin’ into my life That was years ago I’m over this…Goodbye Goodbye…Goodbye…Goodbye

Never Settle 02:34
Never Settle Driving along this empty road Sunlight hits my face I got the top rolled down and the radio on Things feel right in place Turn the radio down, think about this life Turn the radio up, see how far I’ve come I’ll never settle no Driving down further now, I thank God for this space This earth to play and work in and rise another day Turn the radio down, think about this life Turn the radio up, see how far I’ve (how far I’ve come) See how far I’ve (how far I’ve come) From New York to LA I’ve grown See how far I’ve come (and I will always grow) I’ll never settle no See how far I’ve (how far I’ve come) See how far I’ve (how far I’ve come) From New York to LA I’ve grown See how far I’ve come (and I will always grow) I’ll never settle no

Skeleton of Life Undiscovered, undisclosed Turn around watch it unfold How can I feel this way When I’m around you When I’m around you Anxiety seeps through my veins Time to take my life by its reins So I can’t find you So I can’t find you It’s time, let’s win this fight It’s time, confidence and light Time to go Start this new life It’s time, goodbye to that Skeleton of life Unfolded, uninvited Came around now I’m excited Now I feel this way Cause you’re not around me You’re not around me Hope seeps through my veins I took my life by the reins So now I can be So now I can be It’s time, let’s win this fight It’s time, confidence and light Time to go Start this new life It’s time, goodbye to that Skeleton of life I’m open now Discovering It’s my time Who knows what could be uncovered (Repeat) Uncovered….Uncovered…. It’s time, let’s win this fight It’s time, confidence and light Time to go Start this new life It’s time, goodbye to that Skeleton of life Oh, Oh Oh
