⚠️ TRIGGER WARNING – SET LIST SIX (6) Set List Six centers on romantic collapse, emotional betrayal, psychological erosion, grief, and identity fatigue. The harm here is quiet rather than explosive. There is no spectacle — only the long aftermath of love deteriorating, unresolved conversations, and the cumulative damage people inflict when intimacy corrodes instead of heals. This set may be deeply affecting for listeners who have experienced emotional abandonment, manipulative or imbalanced relationships, depression, numbness, grief following breakups or death, lingering guilt, or the fear of starting over too late. While no explicit violence or sexual assault is present, several tracks explore emotional coercion, identity disintegration, and despair adjacent to suicidal ideation. ROMANTIC DISSOLUTION & EMOTIONAL BETRAYAL Most of this set documents the slow collapse of intimate relationships. Songs such as “Expired,” “Cry Me a River,” “Nothing at All,” “Heartstrings,” “Endless Chorus,” and “Jewelry Box” linger in the aftermath — when love has died but attachment remains. Themes of waiting, pleading, sleeplessness, and emotional erosion recur, reflecting drawn-out separations rather than explosive endings. “Face to Face” introduces deception and fixation, including boundary-crossing behavior such as waiting outside a partner’s home. While not violent, the implied surveillance may be unsettling for listeners sensitive to control or relational intrusion. DEPRESSION, NUMBNESS & SELF-DOUBT Tracks like “Below Zero,” “Half Told,” “Lament,” and “Endless Chorus” confront emotional shutdown and loss of identity. Lyrics describe numbness replacing pain, persistent rumination, insomnia, shame, and fear of the past resurfacing. “Below Zero” is particularly bleak, approaching emotional self-erasure without explicit self-harm. EMOTIONAL IMBALANCE & IDENTITY EROSION Songs such as “Heartstrings,” “Matches to Burn,” and “Nameless” explore relationships defined by emotional exploitation, invalidation, and power imbalance. Identity suppression, comparison, and diminished self-worth recur, particularly in depictions of being valued only for validation rather than humanity. GRIEF, AVOIDANCE & FRAGILE HOPE Alcohol appears as emotional anesthesia rather than celebration. Grief surfaces both through death and emotional abandonment, emphasizing loss without closure. Hope exists across the set, but it is fragile, conditional, and unresolved. FINAL NOTE Set List Six captures what lingers after love fails — grief without spectacle, pain without permission, and healing not yet begun. Listener discretion advised.

(2) FACE TO FACE You can run and you can hide But I know your face It always shows That you can’t lie… So I don’t call you On the phone And now you know The reason why… I read your letters So full of love You tell me I’m the one That you’re thinking of Yet I know your gift When it comes to the pen As I think to myself You’re at it again One line leads to another line One lie leads to another lie I know all the walls You use to hide behind - It’s true So I wait outside your place To meet and greet you face-to-face So I know whether to cry or laugh When I look back at all those paragraphs – From you As I think back to all the things you’ve said For I long to know what’s really inside your head What you’re thinking to yourself and also about me When you say that destiny is what we were meant to be Together and forever for it was written in the stars Yes, this is the true you and this is what you really are Or whether this is just another plot and I am just your toy Am I really your man or just a silly little boy? (3) CRY ME A RIVER Cry me a river... Ten miles wide Your warm tears will never Send a shiver... Up and down my spine Cry me a river... Then let me know when you are through Of everything that you promised Nothing was delivered When you don't feel as if you're one Then you should go back to being two Cry me a river... And then please won't you paddle away? I've grown tired of sitting in the dark Watching the clock Trying to smile all the while... I'm waiting for you I would have put you first If you put me anywhere but last Yet as our time in life is slipping Such time you lose too fast The time for chasing rainbows Is now as distant as the stars Through the mountains you've traversed You have discovered who you are You bruise when you bleed Accept this fact as fate You know now what you need For him it's now too late You would have put him first If he put you anywhere but last But as you toasted to the New Year Broken shattered glass You would have shown him love Had he given you a wink You would have filled his cup with wine Had he asked you for a drink To the sparkling gleam in his eye You've since become blind Now this is all you can think of Whenever he enters your mind: Cry me a river... Ten miles wide Your warm tears will never again send a shiver... Up and down my spine Cry me a river... And then let me know when you are through Of everything that was once promised Nothing was delivered When you don't feel as if you're one then you should go back to being two (4) NOTHING AT ALL You walked up to me With my clothes in your hands We had a conversation about things Only I could understand Not a tear I did see For I kept my eyes closed The way in which I feel I'm the only one who knows You begged and pleaded from your knees Every other word I heard was please Please don't you go away Please, please Don't you leave me this way Only I knew that our fate was sealed I kept my eyes closed So that nothing was revealed Someday all your wounds will heal Someday I will tell you how I really feel... I once asked you to save me from myself Though soon I learned That you can't leave that up To anyone else I asked you to change your ways Though soon I realized That some colors won't fade The only one to help me is myself For sometimes some things Cannot be entrusted to someone else Your inspiration was once my soul But soon your hatred was for me And the love I stole You thought I'd take your heart And keep it forever But in this world of uncertainty You can never say never So many red-eyed days So many nights filled with unrest I was finally forced to realize This may be too great a test So many sleepless nights And soon daydreams of another's face I knew I couldn't stay While wishing I was in some other place Your heart's filled with gold Yet your eyes are so cold And the mirror which you hold Reflects the face of no one at all Your weakness often showed And soon the time grew old As no dream I had was too bold The ceiling of our love was bound to fall No regrets Though memory will not soon forget Myself I found Now there are no more chains To hold me down There must be some reason That it turned out this way But I know right now There's not one that I could say I loved you once And you will find love again There is no better message That I can send Maybe I shouldn't have made you Feel so tall Maybe all your problems I couldn't solve Sleep well knowing I am sorry For the pain I've caused Just know it's better feeling pain Than feeling nothing at all

(5) MATCHES TO BURN I need a reason to sing I can’t think of anything And I’ve been thinking a lot About a world not filled With things you could see But of all those things I dreamed to be So long ago that I forgot When down memory lane… I took a stroll I re-lived mostly pain… and now that pain… It takes its toll I’ll make a promise to you And then I won’t show Yeah, I’ll always leave you guessing With your insides now exposed While you’ve still yet to learn your lesson Ahh… but at least now you’re feeling the cold Though still… you keep on pressing But with this new insight you now behold You see the sun now glistening off of the snow If you listen closely then you’ll learn what I know It takes ten seconds now to see What took me twenty years to learn Ain’t no paper worth nothing to me To a girl… With matches to burn To a girl... with matches to burn.. (6) HEARTSTRINGS I don't need you for inspiration Nah, I got plenty of that myself I'm not looking for someone to save me Nah, you can't leave that to anyone else I was just looking for someone to keep me and love me For all I am.... for my better or worse I wasn't looking for someone to take me and leave me Leaving me feeling this angry, helpless remorse As I see you sitting in the chair Staring back at me With a cold and lonely stare I will remember for eternity I finally want back What's been taken What you stole But I will never get that ‘til I regain control I am just another trophy Collecting dust on your mantle shelf Something that you've taken That once belonged to someone else Now as I feel forsaken I criticize my useless self Plucking at my heartstrings Is the music you play only for yourself Never a thought for someone else (7) ENDLESS CHORUS I'm as deep as the day is long That's why it hurt me To find myself becoming weak When I needed to be strong This long day and my long face Shows you that I know no other way So it's back to bed with a worried head An unsteady mind and too much time I think too much about the past Of broken trust and how things don't last I'm as deep as the day is long That's why I rarely sleep And I only dream in song Then I wake up And I try to play along To the melody That my heart weeps Since you and me We broke our bond I find your ghost Keeps haunting me With rattling chains And shaking keys I try to hide But to no avail Just an endless chorus About how we failed… (8) NAMELESS You blew out my candle Just so yours could burn brighter You took my little girl And put bad things inside her Thoughts of not being good enough Oh how could she measure up In this morality fashion show That makes the rules up as they go Living in the shadows and staying low key Blending in with all the pretty things she sees It won’t make you famous but it will help you stay alive Sometimes remaining nameless is the reason why we thrive You blew out my candle Just so yours could burn brighter You burdened me with heavy load Just so you could tread lighter You laughed, pointed and sneered When I took the wheel and steered And as I wandered far off course You offered no form of support No helping hand to lend Not a guiding message sent Left abandoned on the shore When not thought useful anymore You kept looking at me To see the star I’d never be But did you question if your perception Was in fact reality? You blew out my candle Just so yours could burn brighter When I offered peace or war You declared, “Neither!” We’re locked in a state of paradox Where the focus has been lost Always scheming or else screaming Trying to get your point across There’s no more words? I’m at a loss… (9) BELOW ZERO My past is trashed Burned all the photographs I sigh then deny when someone asks No, I never met my hero On a scale of one to ten She sent me to below zero I’ve lost all hope of healing So I try to numb the feeling Playing dumb my way of dealing But I still can’t turn the page She was a century ahead of her time And I was five years past my prime So what could have been so sublime Instead I lost my guide – my sage The old me would lose to the new me Yet those tired eyes would see right through me I’ve got a past that simply won’t let go To a flame that burned out long ago I once put my faith in someone else Now today I no longer trust myself You see I lost my nerve, my heart and my rightful place That’s when I felt I didn’t deserve to be part of the human race She gave me a chance to become a man After an epic fail… Well here I am May God strike me dead Right where I now stand… Yeah, I’m finally ready to get hurt again (10) LAMENT You can’t burn what’s already been burned I died inside once that’s when I learned Something is gone I can’t put it in words I’ve been far more reserved – afraid to be hurt I think it’s contagious Are you on the same page, kid? Tell me your story Share with me your pain How far was your fall from glory? And tell me what was her name? As the life left his eyes He whispered “Adellana Marie” Then muttered her last name… At least what it used to be The same fire that warms May do you great harm The many times I was warned I claimed false alarm She hurt me by giving up I hurt myself I loved too much We both were harmed Though void of intent I heard cries of a mom And so off I went Soon she found another A far more tragic event He put himself above her And now she’s left to lament

(11) HE SAID SHE SAID She woke up this morning In a place she’d never seen before She said… I’m ready to turn the page but first I must close some doors I thought that maybe I was learning but now I’m not so sure I said, “You’ve got to hold on” She said, “I’m not that strong” “That’s okay” is what I respond She said, “But I’m not where I belong… I took a right… But my right went wrong” I said in time you’ll find if you keep on trying You can hurdle your mind and leave it all behind I can’t weather this storm I can’t see the sunshine The last words I heard from you was that… All sense of hope was fading fast But what you forget Is that I cry, too Unclench your fists and remember this Given time all things must pass Now I’ve found the rhyme Have you found a reason? Killing time it ‘tis the season A bottle of wine can be so pleasing I’m feeling fine now my minds at ease She woke up this morning In a place she’s never been before She said… I’m ready to turn the page But first I must close some doors I thought that maybe I was learning but now I’m not so sure I said, You’ve got to hold on You say… I’m not that strong That’s okay is what I respond She said… But I’m not where I belong I took a right but my right went wrong I said in time you’ll find if you keep on trying You can hurdle your mind and leave it all behind You can weather the storm… Maybe I can weather this storm You can find your sunshine… Maybe I’ll watch the sunrise She woke up this morning Or should I say this afternoon Had she finally broken free? I can’t tell it’s far too soon She thought about the Bridge she’s been burning Her only way of escape From this land of ruin She said… Well I’ve been burning bridges But it’s better than burning crosses When everyone seems suspicious You start adding up your losses End up breaking more than dishes That’s how this whole thing got started So choose wisely for what you’re wishing I said try not to make things hard, kid (12) HALF TOLD Behind my eyes I can’t let you in The best I can do is begin again I let you down and myself to With all the shit I put you through Been having a hard time holding my head up high Been having a hard time sorting truth from lies I’m not sure where I should go from here I don’t know if it shows but I’m f*cking scared Seems like everyone I know has disappeared… through the years I’ve been looking for something new And I don’t know what to do I’ve been seeking to make changes Having thoughts that are the strangest I’ve been hiding from my demons While pretending I don’t see them Yet I feel their presence creeping Around my room when I am sleeping And I find it quite disturbing More than a little bit unnerving When you’re trying to go straight but keep on swerving And before it’s too late the lesson you are learning Is you can’t go back and change the past It catches up with you living fast As shiny gold turns to rusty bronze You have to ask yourself where’d I go wrong? As you trace back the last twenty years Wondering how on earth did I end up here? Yet you’re unsure of whether to laugh or cry Though you’re not tired you close your eyes… You feel a tear and you don’t know why? So with retrospect you gaze inside Never been alone – not with pain and fear Your travelling companions through the years… Yet you’re scared of some of the past seeds you’ve sowed So your conscious carries such a heavy load… I’ve grown tired of these escapades I’m trying to take back the day The hands of time can’t be rewound But I refuse to stay sorrow bound They say everybody’s got a story A fall from grace or shining in glory As of now the tale’s only half told And my fate awaits just up open the road, yeah! (13) JEWELRY BOX I'm not an underachiever More what you call a late bloomer Took me a long time to become a believer Otherwise I'd have been here a whole lot sooner I heard it said that I was past my prime But now I know it was just a rumor Such harsh words have strengthened me over time Good thing I still have a sense of humor When I said "take it or leave it..." she left it Never cared about money... but she cost me time Ring's in the jewelry box... I don't regret it Replacements for me... I'm sure they're waiting in line Sacrifices had to be made... but I'm at peace You only live once... I'm back to chasing my dream After what we both held inside had been released Gave her half of everything... but my self-esteem When I said "take it or leave it..." she left it Never cared about money... but she cost me time Ring's in the jewelry box... I don't regret it Replacements for me... she's got them waiting in line Sacrifices had to be made... but I'm at peace You only live once... I'm back to chasing my dream After what we both held inside had been released Gave her half of everything... but my self-esteem I heard it said that I was past my prime But now I know it was just a rumor Such harsh words have strengthened me over time Good thing I still have a sense of humor I'm not an underachiever More what you call a late bloomer Took me a long time to become a believer Otherwise we'd have been here a whole lot sooner When differences in opinions increased And they soon become known to be extreme As you find you own what really should only have been leased Yes, opposites attract yet it's best to share common themes Sacrifices had to be made.... But I'm at peace You only live once... I'm back to chasing my dream
