Bedlam

|
The body is weak
The mind is strong
But what do we do honey
When they’re both wrong?
The fountain of youth
Is being drained
Another day goes by
It’s all the same
They tear me down
(One stab at a time)
They wear me out
(To the end of the line)
They drown me out
(One sound at a time)
It’s in my head, it’s in my head
(Now the damage is done)
This is bedlam baby
And it goes on and on
Over and over again
You’ve pushed me to the edge
Over and over again
I’m put up through the test
Where do we go from here?
(Nobody knows)
Where do we grow from here?
(It’s too soon to show)

Anchors

Well I just cannot comprehend
Because I think I see your face again
Sometimes this life can hit rewind
And your picture’s running through my mind
This habit’s slowly making me blind
I said this habit’s slowly making me blind
Your love is weighing me down
Like an anchor baby
I know I should have walked away
Because I’m tired of the games we play
I seem to always fall behind
And I’m losing what I thought was mine
This habit’s slowly making me blind
I said this habit’s slowly making me blind

Cold Feet
04:22
|
|||
|
All this pressure’s going to my head
It’s getting worse now every day
Just the thought of leaving on my own
Distastes, and you can’t relate
So baby here we are
Underneath the stars
I can’t keep up with this change of pace
It’s hard to stay warm when I’m kept in
With my cold feet
Never cared about luxury
Only cared when you’re with me
Nothing ‘round here ever comes for free
The price is more than it seems

Silver Spoons
03:41

That hundred dollar bill
Her parents left for her
Always supplies the need
And will provide the cure
What’s one more rainy day all alone?
That little silver spoon
That she’s been leaning on
Has kept her on her knees
And she’s the one who’s gone
Won’t stop 'til she gets one more fix
Slipping through the cracks
Of a life she never knew
The needle hits the spoon
What more else can she do?
She might be out of time
But she don’t understand
The average life
Of her America is very bland
She burns the candle at both ends
The little silver spoon
That she’s been playing with
Has warped her heart
And fried her brain without a single fit
Won't stop 'til she gets one more fix
Slipping through the cracks
Of a life she never knew
The needle hits the spoon
What more else can she do?
Slipping through the cracks
Of a life that she refused
The needle goes to use
As her skin turns to blue
Lyrics by: Justin Ikpo and Jonathan Fife

Homesick Blues
05:35
|
|||
|
Acquire the taste of isolation
Everything you see is false
I'm feeling homesick for a day or two
Can't wait until you and I finally cross
And I say oh yeah (no way)
These are my homesick blues
There's no one here who can soothe my pain
So I call you up every single day
I need you now, more than now for sure
To help me find what I'm looking for
Lyrics by: Justin Ikpo
