DAMAGE LYRICS

LET U IN
Music and Lyrics: Barbara

Standing there so sweetly
So smooth and irresistible
A heady bottle of red wine
Slipping down my throat

Cut you
Cut You like a knife
Kill you with my kisses
but I'll never let you in
Cut me
Cut me like a knife
Kill me with your kisses
but you'll never let me in

I'll embrace you in velvet
Then melt you with my acid heart
Will your flavor linger
So vicious and austere

You can measure my love
By the pain you feel
Did I do the job
You can penetrate me
Like smoke into the air

Cut you
Cut You like a knife
Kill you with my kisses
but I'll never let you in
Cut me
Cut me like a knife
Kill me with your kisses
but you'll never let me in

Damage
Lyrics by Wardlaw

In the dancing dawn she’s dreaming of a hero in disguise
But when she wakes up screaming She's alone within her mind
And her thoughts keep on cascading Through the echoes of her past
How long will she keep dreaming How long will this day last

(Chorus)
Damaged by my innocence
Damaged by my pride
Beaten by my vanity
Hurt by Endless lies

The midday sun it warms her Like a goddess from above
but the cold wind blows right through her and it leaves her with no love
The days she can remember of a time when she was free
And the promise of forever And the future never seen

(Chorus)
Damaged by my frailty
Damaged by my sin
Damaged by naivety
The end will now begin
What happened to my honor
What happened to my pride
What happened to my dignity
It chased the love that died

So the sunset brings the shadows And the moon it brings the stars
But sunsets never linger And the sadness isn’t far
So when she wakes from dreaming And when the day is done
Her mind will still be dancing In the dawning of the sun

DEEP
Lyrics by Wardlaw

Of summers gone and distant light
I wish that I could save tonight
For all that lies beyond the stars
In tears that dry for who you are

I set my fear  in deep blue sea
Narrow thoughts won’t set me free
For I can feel what I have done
It can't be changed can't be won

(Chorus)
Eyes so deep and heart so warm
With loving arms to soothe the storm
Kisses wet upon the wind
A precious touch unto the end

Visions show me  what was lost
As we move on to pay the cost
In tears of rage for fear of one
The damage cannot be undone

Until the final  tear is cried
I shall be here alone inside
For I have paid a price to real
A price to high I can not feel

And never is the time it ends
But I'll survive without my friend
 You feel my breath upon the air
Touched by moments never there

(Chorus)
Eyes so deep they melt the stars
Consuming all we thought was ours
Feel my breath upon the wind
And know not anger in the end

Eyes so deep they lose the stars
A treasure lost or gone so far
The dream  I shall forever seek
Within the lonely eyes so deep

RAGE
Lyrics by Wardlaw

It comes like the dawn
Rising.....
onward, driving on

It comes like the breeze
Stirring...
Moving, with the trees

It comes, like the storm
Brewing...
drowning, all that’s warm

it comes like the night
Shadows...
take away all the light

RAGE
It brings me rage
and as the tears have dried
I keep the pain inside, For Rage
My Rage

Drought spreads like disease
killing...
draining all it sees

Rage rains down on me
Falling...
unto my empty sea

Rage, it brings me rage
I've hid for many years
I have to many fears
for rage.... My Rage

LITTLE THINGS
Music and Lyrics Barbara

I let my guard down and then you jumped right in
with your sleepy sideway grin
Too much to handle how could I stand a chance
with your hooded assessing glances

Your lowered lashes linger on my face
like a cat that lives at a slow pace
you roll your shoulders back against the wall
call it love call it chemical

It's the little things you do
When you're watching me, I'm watching you
It's the little things I see
Captivating me, You're my harmony

Someday I'll tell you how I really feel but not today
For now I'll stand here watching from far away
where I know it's safe

The sight and scent of you Fills me with curiosity
Innocent accidents lead to possibilities

It's the little things you do When you're watching me,
I'm watching you
It's the little things I see Captivating me,
You're my harmony

Someday I'll tell you how I really feel but not today
For now I'll stand here watching from far away
where I know it's safe

It's the little things you do When you're watching me,
I'm watching you
It's the little things I see Captivating me,
You're my harmony

All the little things you do to me
they're not so little

INTO THE RAIN
Music & Lyrics by Wardlaw

A moonlit night, the pouring rain Lonely woman gone insane
A blinded man, a stolen car Don't know who or what they are

And it all dissolves
Yes it all dissolves
Into the rain

A single room,  A ceiling fan, Blows the dust from a dying man
A crowded room,  a lonely bar, Wishes crashing on a star

And it all dissolves
Yes it all dissolves
Into the rain (repeat)

An empty beach, crashing waves, Forgotten surfers, in their graves
In the rain
Into the rain
Into the rain
In the rain

ROSE OF LOVE
Music & Lyrics by Wardlaw

The city moves it's cluttered scheme
The sky is full of factory steam
concrete fractures, metal clinks
Poor people bathe in their kitchen sinks

From the sky a burning light
It flashes death into the night
On the ground a blue rose lies
The rose of love that never dies

Your dreams So exciting, So enlightening
Rose of love
Your Screams So exciting, Very Frightening
Rose of love

Evil lives in hearts of men
Makes them bring life to and end
In the end you'll see them die
You will not care or wonder why

From the heavens dressed in lace
Comes a love of ascending grace
It burns the evil, controls above
For life it is the rose of love

DAMAGE IN THE DREAM
Lyrics by Wardlaw

I've seen this place before A thousand times, maybe more
And on the beach I stand and stare
It's in my dreams you take me there

I dreamed of you again The dream that would not end
I thought the tears had dried at last
You're like a nightmare from the past

I've seen your face before A thousand places, maybe more
And in my dreams I see you there
And feel the depths of my despair

I can't release Obsessive thoughts won't give me peace
And as the pain recedes
I feel the love my heart now bleeds

I've had this dream before A thousand times, maybe more
In endless space  I see you there
And feel your breath upon the air

Now you’re gone I see your face in every dawn
And as I climb up from this hole
I feel the darkness of my soul

In my heart a peace I've found
My damaged thoughts have run aground
And there's a love we've never seen
Beyond the damage in the dream

I’ve seen this place before A thousand times maybe more
And in my dreams we are as one
The Dream Can’t seem to be undone

BEAUTIFUL BABE
Lyrics by Slager / Wardlaw

Girls play with Dolls Boys play with guns
I can see you laughing You’re my Beautiful Baby
Burning in the sun

Beautiful Babe
Beautiful Babe
Beautiful Babe

Boys play with Guns Girls play with boys
I can see you dancing You’re my Beautiful Baby
Burning in the sun

Beautiful Babe
Beautiful Babe
Beautiful Babe

My wind is your wings Your breath is my sole
Together my love You make me feel whole (repeat)

Lovers never  know When they will part
You’re my Beautiful Baby
Beautiful Babe (Repeat)

WAITA WHILE
Music & lyrics Slager

Sometimes the world can get down on your back
and you gotta wait a while
wait awhile

sometimes the sun burns down on everyone
so you gotta wait a while
wait awhile

Waita while waita while
waita waita waita while
and ya gotta waita while
waita while waita while

Sometimes the tears come down
like the pouring rain
and you gotta wait a while
wait awhile

IT'S ALL INSIDE
Music & Lyrics Jon M.

You're takin' all my money
Can't cha see that
You're buying this grand facade
You're touch was sweet as honey
So sad, it's changed now
Into this iron black claw

I thought we had the answer
But I guess I fear now
The truth is fading, fading away
Why can't you see the reason
I'm standing by you
Are you holding me at bay

I know now It's all inside
And you don't even seem to realize
It's all inside
It's all inside

The obvious question
Why am I with you
I know you're in there, somewhere
If I could just reach you
We'd find your feelings
And you'd show me that you care

But you can't even here me
 You're so far gone now
Deep down it hurts to say
I guess I'm on my way now
That's right I'm leavin' 
Another man will have to pay

I know now It's all inside
And you don't even seem to realize
It's all inside
It's all inside

SHIVER
Lyrics by Barbara

I hit the brick I hit the wall,
I come to be the one I fall,
into abyss so take a shot at me
you'll miss me,
if I ever catch you take a trip on me,
I shake and shiver
in the places that you will never see.

I come to live ,
I come to die,
I come to claw until I cry.
My highs are low my lows are lower
anger overwhelms my hunger,
for a taste of happiness,
for just a moment
or perhaps, a slice of bitterness.

NO KILL I
Music & Lyrics Wardlaw

One more dream before it's over
Wasted tears for you I cry
Here I am to walk a new path
The time has come to say goodbye

Deep (Reprise)
The dream  I shall forever seek
Within the lonely eyes so deep
