Baby When You Go
On a dusty road just west of town
Chasing the day until the sun goes down
Kick up your shoes you aren’t looking back
It’s all in the past and a matter of fact
What’s left behind isn’t your concern
You’ve made your peace it’s flee or burn
This is your life take it in your hands
And march to your own band
Baby do you know
Darling do you see
There’s so much more to life
Than staying here with me
Baby when you go
Darling when you leave
I won’t hold you back
There’s more to life than me
It’s been a year since you went away
I’ve thought of you every single day
Though the journeys long to find yourself
You’ll make it through without my help
Your star will shine I’m sure of that
And when it does don’t you dare look back
This time is yours and yours alone
You’ve made it all on you own
Baby do you know
Darling do you see
There’s so much more to life
Than staying here with me
Baby when you go
Darling when you leave
I won’t hold you back
There’s more to life than me
Baby do you know
Darling do you see
There’s so much more to life
Than staying here with me
Baby when you go
Darling when you leave
I won’t hold you back
There’s more to life than me

Through the Looking Glass
Fancy meeting you here my friend
How long would you say it’s been?
The years have been so kind to some of us
And some they’ll never touch again
What have you done with your life since then?
Since I saw you last so long ago
Will you fill the gaps in my memory please?
For my sanity’s about to go
Looking through
The looking glass
A refection of my soul
Deep within
The looking glass
Is where I fear to go
I lost myself here once before
How easy it would be again
To slip and slide down the rabbit hole
Without a single why but when
I don’t want to go without a fight
But my strength it seems to flee from me
So fair you well and auf wiedersehen
I’m not really who you thought I’d be
Looking through
The looking glass
A refection of my soul
Deep within
The looking glass
Is where I fear to go
Looking through
The looking glass
A refection of my soul
Deep within
The looking glass
Is where I fear to go
Looking through
The looking glass
A refection of my soul
Deep within
The looking glass
As my mind it does unfold

You Don't Own Me

You Don’t Own Me
Ash grey sky under a dusty moon
Held within a steel cocoon
Night and day they are the same
With a sigh they breathe my name
Shattered heart on a dusty floor
Like so many times before
As I hide within and they look without
I want to scream and shout
You don’t own me
Get that through your head
I don’t owe you
Regardless of what you said
You don’t own me
Now I’m through I’m free
I don’t owe you
Now I’m living for me
I breathe life in taking back control
Regain a sense of what makes me whole
Shake the chains from my fettered mind
And leave the past behind
Pay love for love moving forward now
Push past the hate I make this vow
To live for life and the joy within
And so I will begin
You don’t own me
Get that through your head
I don’t owe you
Regardless of what you said
You don’t own me
Now I’m through I’m free
I don’t owe you
Now I’m living for me
You don’t own me
Get that through your head
I don’t owe you
Regardless of what you said
You don’t own me
Now I’m through I’m free
I don’t owe you
Now I’m living for me

As We Dream
Late at night as I'm sleeping
under pale moonlight
Late at night as I'm dreaming
and those dreams take flight
I don't know what I'm weaving
in that shadow land
Far away if you're needing
take me by the hand
Gossamer strings tie you to me
as the years they flow
Gossamer wings fly you to me
at you side I'll go
Sleeping dead reach out to me
give them life again
Sleeping gone call out to me
asking for a friend
As we dream
do we live
do we die
do we juxtapose the sky
Little bird flying freely
winging from my hand
Little bird flying freely
over sparkling sand
Soaring o'er oceans deep blue
where the dreamers bath
Flying o'er oceans deep blue
sent to seek not save
As we dream
do we live
do we die
do we juxtapose the sky
When we're dead
do we care
do we cry
under juxtaposed sky
Late at night as I'm sleeping
under pale moonlight
Late at night as I'm dreaming
and those dreams take flight
I don't know what I'm weaving
in that shadow land
Far away if you're needing
take me by the hand

Shut Your Gaping Hole
You want to tell me what to think
You want to tell me how to feel
You want to tell me why I scream
You want to tell me why I kneel
You don’t want to know what’s me
You don’t care what’s at my core
I’m not about to fall in line
I’ve seen your kind before
You’re arrogant, belligerent
Unthinking and unkind
If you think I’m going to follow you
I’d say you’ve lost your mind
What you think you have to offer
Isn’t love, it’s just control
So take your demands and shove it
And shut your gaping hole
I’ve tried so hard to be patient
I’ve tried so hard to be kind
I’ve tried so hard to listen
Every time you speak your mind
I’ll tell you now I’ve had it
I’m not taking anymore
It doesn’t matter how you phrase it
You’re rotten to the core
You’re arrogant, belligerent
Unthinking and unkind
If you think I’m going to follow you
I’d say you’ve lost your mind
What you think you have to offer
Isn’t love, it’s just control
So take your demands and shove it
And shut your gaping hole
Shut your gaping hole, shut your gaping hole…
You’re arrogant, belligerent
Unthinking and unkind
If you think I’m going to follow you
I’d say you’ve lost your mind
What you think you have to offer
Isn’t love, it’s just control
So take your demands and shove it
And shut your gaping hole

I can't fully put my finger on it, but there's something in this album that makes me think of the Cramps on one hand and the Gorillaz on the other, not sure what though. I do love the direction this is headed in. A few of these are a bop like nobody seems to understand. I feel like it's relevant for how a lot of people feel these days
