On My Own

I'm done with the real world
It's nothin' but phonies
Egos with shadows
Their stench it surrounds me
I want to go deeper
Write a new story
A tale of the reaper
Who took me to glory
I'll find a way
Someday
Maybe then I'll be on my own
I'll make a change
One day
And then I'll finally be alone
There are too many people
I see on these sad streets
Their world is a circle
Eyes tired and weary
They won't forgive you
The past won't forget me
I meet up with the future
A locked door with its own key
I'll find a way
Someday
Maybe then I'll be on my own
I'll make a change
One day
And then I'll finally be alone
I'll find a way
Someday
Maybe then I'll be on my own
I'll make a change
One day
And then I'll finally be alone
I'll make a change
Someday
I'll find a way
One day
I'll make a change
Someday
I'd like to find my own way home

Wild heart
Stare and face me
I'll live
As long as you breathe
There's no way
That you'll escape me
We'll fight
But you won't break free
And there ain't nothin' you can do
I'm the dark black hand
With a grip so tight that you can't move
I'm the man she damned
There ain't nothin' you can do
I'm the dark black hand
With a grip so tight that you can't move
I'm the man she damned
Wild girl
There's no danger
Don't act
As if I'm a stranger
I speak
You know I mean it
Don't lie
I can't take this
And there ain't nothin' you can do
I'm the dark black hand
With a grip so tight that you can't move
I'm the man she damned
There ain't nothin' you can do
I'm the dark black hand
With a grip so tight that you can't move
I'm the man she damned

They are the ruling class
They are the curse that lasts
They are the wind that chills
They are the hit that kills
But we
The chosen few
Out past curfew
With things to do
We'll ride
Into the night
Cut out the lights
It's all right
We're free
They hide in their panic rooms
They're scared of our doom and gloom
They want us to go away
They fear those that don't obey
So we
The chosen few
Out past curfew
With things to do
Will ride
Into the night
Cut out the lights
And win this fight
We're free
We
The chosen few
Out past curfew
With things to do
We'll ride
Into the night
Cut out the lights
It's all right
We're free

I want to live
Some place nice
It doesn't have to be paradise
By the sea
Just you and me
It doesn't have to be a fantasy
We never will retire
I fucked it up
I am a liar
We'll be stuck in here forever
Aren't you sorry we're together
I want to go
Where the rich folks live
We'll buy a house
And have two kids
It doesn't have to be a dream
I'll pay
I'll make some money
Then we'll go away
We never will retire
I fucked it up
I am a liar
We'll be stuck in here forever
Aren't you sorry we're together
We never will retire
I fucked it up
I am a liar
We'll be stuck in here forever
Aren't you sorry we're together
We never will retire
I fucked it up
I am a liar
We'll be stuck in here forever
Aren't you sorry we're together

She was more than I could handle
At night we'd light our scented candles
She jumped nude into the river
She wanted more than I could give her
A passion that's deeper than God
And can't be contained
A love both romantic and hot
It's real or I am insane
I want to die in her arms
That's a thought
And I ain't feelin' no shame
She's my affliction
And my queen
She is the redhead in my dreams
I know I'll never love another
I want her back
'Cuz she's my lover
I'll make a wish
And pray to Jesus
But maybe he's who has released us
From a passion that's deeper than God
And can't be contained
From a love both romantic and hot
I'll never tell you her name
I want to die in her arms
That's a thought
And I ain't feelin' no shame
She's my affliction
And my queen
She is the redhead in my dreams
She's my affliction
And my queen
She was my first crush
And my dream

I may have hurt you
I might have lied too
But you're the reason
That I'm a heathen
I sold my soul for you
I've broken all my rules
You ruined everything
Again
I sold my soul for you
I've broken all my rules
You ruined everything
You win
I know my antics
Left you frantic
But you're the reason
I committed treason
I sold my soul for you
I've broken all my rules
You ruined everything
Again
I sold my soul for you
I've broken all my rules
You ruined everything
You win
I sold my soul for you
I've broken all my rules
You ruined everything
The end

The Throne of Saint James New York, New York
The Throne of Saint James recommends:
high & low
by kissed her little sister
This is a brilliant album. 'Discoteque Dialect' and 'The Angel of the Lord' are personal favorites.

The Coachlight Woods
by Glowworm
Glowworm's album 'The Coachlight Woods' has one of my favorite songs: 'Contrails.' It's perfect. And it's incredible how the dialogue from the film 'Gun Crazy' is used. Highly recommended.

First track off the Summer of Haze EP: 'I▼You.' Bow down. Epic witch house. So good.
