Fearing You - music: J. Lucero, M. Wilson words: J. Lucero
Im
going out to crash a plane
The honor you recieve in flames
How youd like
to catch you prey
Caged it doesnt matter what youd say
When Im not
Fearing
you, believing you, not fearing you
Im not believing you, feeling you, or
fearing you
Id strap a bomb to my waist
But you never could see my face
How youd like to blow us all away
The
holy story you read everyday
Well im not
Fearing
you, believing you, not fearing you
Im not believing you, feeling you, or
fearing you

Changing My Name - music: J. Lucero, M. Wilson words: J. Lucero
I
wanna change my name
I let him know that Im not the same
I waited years
to hear what you'd say
You know that ive taken my own way
When i didnt
see your side
Never cared wanted you crucified
Not
to mention you crossed the line
And you hurt, cause ill be just fine
An
upside to crazy cant be justified
Youve got no conscience or barely any pride
When youre making up for your mistakes
A little too late...
I
wanna change my name
Ive let him know i dont want the same
And waited
years to fear what you say
Even if ive taken my own way
Now i didnt see
your side
Never cared wanted this so simplified
Not
to mention you crossed the line
And you hurt, cause ill be just fine
An
upside to crazy cant be justified
Youve got no conscience or barely any pride
When youre making up for your mistakes
A little too late...

The
1st Thing - music: J. Lucero, M. Wilson words: J. Lucero
The 1st thing in me
The time to believe
You
thought you could see
You thought you were me
When
you steal my thoughts
My ways that you've sought
Now
you're left to be caught
Only an afterthought
The
1st thing for me
The time to relieve
You thought
you could see
Did you think you were free?
If you steal my ways
You'd know just how to say
You'll
still feel afraid
In just another way
The
last time you thought
It would end all for not
It
really would take a lot
To step up in front and take the last shot

Transparent
- music: J. Lucero, M. Wilson words: J. Lucero
I'm
such a lonely soul
Such a needy hole
But I don't
need your attention, just someone
And I don't need my affection,
to make love
Two steps forward, three steps back
And
as transparent as you are now
was something I've been seeing
Seeing it right through how
The sad lonely feeling
now
Can I crash land on you?
Please break my fall
Come back down on two
I
need it all
You take it all to be happy, if it would
If
I don't make you happy, everything should
Two steps forward, three
steps back

Ricochet
- music: J. Lucero words: J. Lucero
Ricochet,
change your name
Feel ok to pass your blame
What
you save you can't forget
Can't believe that one was hit
Ricochet,
dropped on debt
Don't you say he can't come back
But
what you want you can't admit
Can't believe it's a hit
Ricochet
the steal's a' movin'
But don't you lay forever in a grave
And what you save you can't protect
Can't believe
my best friend's hit
With
the chance you see in dice
The fear he felt that night
You
can see it in his eyes
You stand where he can't lye
Ricochet,
bounced off the right
Feel ok to see the sight
And
blown away now you pay
Can't believe this is ok

Sleep Tight - music: J. Lucero words: J. Lucero
How can you turn and run?
Turn your back on someone you
love
Settle for something a bit short
The person
you never were before
And what you thought could be
Becomes what you never wanted to see
So turn out the
lights and put out my heart
This one's coming home to begin at
the start
Throwing temper's on and off switch
The
only one who cared for you was rich
And rich as gold, but too
blind to see
You know you make the mistake to never be free
So good night, sleep tight
I
will see the light
I want to free your life
Sleep
tight

Afloat - music: J. Lucero, M. Wilson words: M. Wilson
You carry a load as you wander the road you
have chosen
Hoping the answers you speak lye just past the bend
Enduring the pain you stay out of the rain, till you're frozen
And you follow the rainbow around but you can't find the end
You feel like a boat that is barely afloat on the ocean
You
couldn't prevent whatever set these events into motion
And you're
battered around with a cruel and invisible force
When you ran
around and you thought you found the right course
Lying
in wait you anticipate the outcome
Having a chance is better than
going without one
Long before it ever comes to pass
You're
hoping the answers you missed will not be your last
When
the day is done and the setting sun's on your shoulder
It is enough
when the times are tough to be bolder
And you're wondering how
you can manage to mend the boat
But with a help of a friend you
might be able to keep it afloat
------
The Payoff - music: J. Lucero Words: J. Lucero
Please judge me on what I'd buy for you
I would, even
if it's something absurd
I don't think you can really try
To mortgage my future
With some sort of gesture
The payoff
Another year in the clear
My
books and magazines, my dear
The payoff
And if I don't give you the world one day
It's still
five months 'till May
But if we find something true
We'd try, but only I
Could ever realize it's alright
Doesn't take much in the end
For you I would, if it's
something I never could
It doesn't take much in the end
For
you I would, if it's something absurd

Preacher
- music: J. Lucero words: J. Lucero
Friday
I was smiling
By Sunday I was praying
On the floor
of a church
Some clergy point of view
To take
off my shirt
And I'm gonna look the other way
Cover
your tracks with tact
I absolve my own sins you'd say
Burning
in the depths of richeousness
On such a high pedestal I'd lye
And I try to get back the only thing
Scaring me more
than your preaching
In fact what if it was your practice?
And I've gotta get by
to
see the other side
Even if you didn't believe
You
can believe the above
if its never enough
to
find out too late
how we all really hate
------
Why
Can't You - music: J. Lucero words: J. Lucero
I don't know what you'd say
I don't know what you think
Yeah,
I don't know
But if you want me to be
In case
you didn't know me
Yes I know, I know
And
if I want you
Why can't you be true?
Why can't
you be you?
Why can't you?
I'd like to say
I know what it takes
Yes I do, it's true
And I want to believe
You show me what you see
And it takes two
Did you know that I would for you?
I know how much you say you care for me
Yeah,
you've really opened up your life to me
You gave me it all to
hide away
But why can't you?

Im
Finally Gone - music: J. Lucero words:
J. Lucero
I thought I knew you
I
thought we had some sort of understanding
The times meant something
but only to me
Wake up one day and you're in different shoes
Leading a life guided by no truth
Finding
my way home through another's arms
Spreading thoughts throughout
my feelings
Haven't gone a day without your name
Close
your eyes long enough for my image to appear
Open them only for
a tear
Turn me to stone and freeze me alone
I'm finally gone
The
life we lead is in the past
Gone forever as I knew it could never
last
Contridictions of perceptions did you know all along?
Your eyes like a snake with blood so cold
You could
turn me to stone
------
Secrets - music: J. Lucero words: J. Lucero
With your secrets, I let you go
And I wanted to for so long
To know where
you’d go
And who you spend all your time with
Find it so misguided
I’m not trying to change your mind
Catch
you with your secrets and amends
I don’t need your family, I don’t
need your friends
I can’t save your soul, I can’t even save my own
I can’t be your friend, I can’t be your lover…
With
your secrets, you carry on
Finding someone to hold onto
And never let
go
In your weakness in all that you hide
I find a way out
From under
all your lies
Catch you with your secrets and
amends
I don’t need your family, I don’t need your friends
I
can’t save your soul, I can’t even save my own
I can’t be your
friend, I can’t be your love
There can be no one, there can be no other...

Away - music: J. Lucero, M. Wilson words: J. Lucero
As I creep through the gates
Hoping not to make the hinges squeak
And
you look over my shoulder
Try to catch me in step, a leak
When I can't
convey to you the way I feel
Its different from the way that I speak
And
I try to run but you follow my steps
Try to hide I'm about to break
Catch
my drift
You sneak inside
And fade away from me
I cherished what we've
made
Easy to see, hard to hear?
And I always
find the real solution
Not easy let go, youre floating in the air
Erase
the prints and clear the pollution
And I know that its not always easy
You slide to hide, I'm not the freak
