DEAD END

by Justin Justice & Tom Jensen

I know who you are

And who you want to be

I know you're entrapped

And you want to be free


You can't put off until tomorrow

What needs to be done today

We've had this talk

so many times before

There's not much more I can say


When the days become years

You'll know that it's true

You'll look back and say

Why didn't I listen to you?





I've been down that road

Let me tell you my friend

That sooner or later

You'll see a dead end


The road will deceive you

With its ups and its downs

It's so hard to find direction

With your head spinning round


You found a hole in the sky

But it's so lonesome there

Even when you gaze down

You still feel no fear


Come on my darling

It's time to turn the page

The only way you're not dying

Is from old age...


I've been down that road

Let me tell you my friend

That sooner or later

You'll see a dead end


The road will deceive you

With its ups and its downs

It's time to get it together

Turn your life around


Two years later --

I'd hoped to see you again

But I couldn't make it

So some flowers I'll send


I tried to convince you

But you wouldn't bend

So sorry for you

Now you'll never mend


I've been down that road

I told you my friend

But sooner, not later,

You saw the dead end


The road has deceived you

With its ups and its downs

It's just so sad

I'll never see you around


ALISON'S AIRPLANE

by Justin Justice & Tom Jensen


I find my religion

in the basement of churches

Never mind a pew


Here I sit trying

to learn from my mistakes

God knows I've made a few



If you'd made as many as I have

Then you'd probably sit here, too

Here I sit and reminisce it all

Biding my time by

reading slogans on the wall


Maybe a higher power is what I need

Perhaps placing something

above myself will set me free


For you can only tell

what you're really worth

When you realize

you're not the center of the earth


The sun does not rise for you

No matter how much you want it to

Then the rest is up to you

Use your better judgment if you want to


WAMER WATERS

by Klaus Bluetner & Tom Jensen

While looking for a role model

While looking for a good hobby

Ended up picking up a bottle

Ended up hurting my body


I tried to save a lost cause

I guess I got a little carried away

Ended up losing myself

And let another one slip away


Looking for the sacred river

Looking for warmer waters

Ended up a disbeliever

And being led to the slaughter


ooh oh oh oh ooh ooh

ooh oh oh oh ooh ooh


Tried to help them

climb out from the valley

Tried to bring them to my level

Every time I get close - my God

They introduce me to the Devil


Looking to transcend my existence

Looking to find Heaven on earth

Ended up finding a sign:

NO ADMITTANCE

I couldn't break the curse


I guess you shouldn't try to be a shepherd

When all your sheep jump off the cliff

But you can't see inside my conscience

And all the pain I'm living with


Alright!





Looking to begin another day

Looking to be the voice of reason

Ended up denying many things I say

Ended up my own victim of treason


Looking at myself in the mirror to see

If I could recognize my face

Finally seeing everything much clearer

And finding the self I had misplaced


ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh


Looking for the sacred river

Looking for warmer waters

Ended up a disbeliever

And being led to the slaughter


Looking for the sacred river

Looking for warmer waters

Ended up a disbeliever

Being led to the slaughter


ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

Looking for warmer waters

ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

Looking for warmer waters


ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

Looking for warmer waters

ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

Looking for warmer waters


THE LIGHT OR THE WHITE

Music & Vocals by Justin Justice

Lyrics by Tom Jensen

It’s the same faces

In the same room

Only a different night


Just another wasted day

But it’s much more complicated

Than just wrong versus right


Dreams cast aside

And soon vanish out of sight


You better chose

your side correctly

When it’s the light

against the white


You can get pleasure through people

Or pleasure through things

But when the ship starts sinking

It’s time to cut your strings







Time to cut the lines

And make up your mind

Either lead the pack

Or else follow behind

The white or the light

It’s the fight of your life

You better choose right


Yeah, you better…


Cut the lines

make up your mind


Either lead the pack

or else follow behind

the white or the light

the fight of your life…


You better choose right...

You better choose right...

choose right

choose right

choose right


Either life-saving surgery

Or else amputation

It’s a full-time job

And there ain’t no vacation


SHE

by Klaus Bluetner & Tom Jensen

She gently sighs

And then she softly cries

She still denies

That there's a void inside


An only child

but not a lonely child

Her horses were chained

so they never ran wild


An early life full of distractions

And they all offered her protection

But all of her paths were paved in stone

She could never ever find her way all alone


She...oh she...oh she...

She...oh she... could not break free


A child cloned from her environment

Told what not to do without trying it


Second thoughts...

She never paid them any mind

Just blocked out her memory

and kept walking her straight line

She was barefoot and pregnant

And now she regrets it

Once every man did want her

Never dreaming her past

Would ever come

back to haunt her

She...

oh she...

oh she...


She...oh she...

could not break free


The man paid the bills

and shattered her wills

And broke her down

to her simplest form


Now she regrets it…

Her life is pathetic

Never thought it herself…

Though everybody said it


She bended and kneeled

Her fate forever sealed

A true-self never truly revealed

After he left her wounds never healed

Just another sheep left so defenseless


She...oh she...oh she...

She...oh she... could not break free


She gently sighs and then she softly cries

She gently sighs and then she softly cries

She still denies that there's a void inside

An only child but not a lonely child


Her horses were chained so they never ran wild


She was battling hard to defeat the day

Seems she wouldn't have it any other way

While trying hard to hide away all the lies

She begins to feel a tear in her eye


She...oh she...oh she...

She...oh she... could not break free


She...oh she...oh she...

She...oh she... could not break free


So she hides the pain away

Has forgotten any other way


Today's reflection

still mirrors yesterday


Yet May is another month away

She…


CURVES OF SORROW

by Tyler Thompson & Tom Jensen

The smell of beer

still lingers in the air

Better leave now

while the coast is clear




A wasted life

recaptures the past

Little does he know

the a shadow has been cast.


Another drink

Soon it fills his glass

He sits and he wonders

which road that he passed


The road that would have

led him far from this place

The road that could have

very well put a smile on his face


Deep down he knows

new roads lie ahead

If he misses his next turn

he'll probably be dead.


His heavy darkened circled eyes

Were not a bit surprised

That there have not been many things

He has seen in his life.


He only knew of just one taste

His lips around the bottle

And the lines on his face

The drew......

They drew a line of sorrow.


LET DOWN

by Justin Justice & Tom Jensen

Who’d have thought

that a pair of faded blue jeans

Could bring me to my knees?


Who'd have thought that after I let her in

She'd do just what she pleased?


An angel on the outside

The devil within

I would soon discover


Well I guess they're right

It just goes to show

You can never judge a book by its cover


I've done something I've told myself

that I would never do

Before you proved your love

I put all my trust in you


I believed your lies

And dried your eyes

And to my surprise

You took me for a ride

A ride I'll never take again





Can you see me frown?

As you're leaving town

The truth's been found

You spun me around

You let me down again


Such a beautiful smile

yet eyes full of deceit

You said that you loved me

All the while you were

lying through your teeth


I'd like to follow you

telling everyone you see

Be careful of this girl

Look what she did to me


Who'd have thought

that a pair of faded blue jeans

Could bring me to my knees?


Who'd have thought

that after I let her in

She'd do just what she pleased?


An angel on the outside

The devil within

I would soon discover


Well I guess they're right

It just goes to show

You can never judge

a book by its cover


I've done something

I've told myself

that I would never do


Before you proved your love

I put all my trust in you


TABLE FOR TWO

by Klaus Bluetner & Tom Jensen

The coffee's on...

I used to have coffee with you

But you're gone...

And now I'll have to find someone new


No, I don't like to

Drink my coffee alone

So I'd call and hope

that you'd pick up the phone


And we'd talk

Until the kids came home

And we'd talk

Until my coffee it turned cold


And we'd talk some more

When the kids ran off to play



And we'd talk...

That's how we'd spend

the rest of our day


Then you'd cook

With the phone held up to your ear

As you set the table for only two


You knew that I was there...

Even though I was here

(even though I was here)

You knew that I was there

(you knew that I was there)

Even though I was here

(even though I was here)

You knew that I was there


The coffee's on...

I used to have coffee with you


But you're gone...

And now I'll have

to find someone new


Table for two

Table for two

Table for two

Table for two


BOTTOM OF THE LAKE

by Klaus Bluetner & Tom Jensen

My heart is now my best friend

No longer my enemy

I've finally said goodbye to you

And said hello to me


The path we walked was winding

At least we weren't alone

But when yourself you're finding

Sometimes you must walk alone


I swim through my memories

As you're drowned by the waves


Tears roll off your eyes

Over the love that could not be saved


When it's time to sink or swim

It's already too late

Bubbles float up through the water

I'm at the bottom of the lake


You look at me in confusion

From your eye drops another tear

As you offer me your hand

I think it's better down here


Don't call for a rescue whatever you do...

I jumped in the water to free myself from you




This boulder shackled to my ankle

has become my new best friend

We'll be soul mates forever until the very end


Don't call for a rescue whatever you do...

As heavy as my new friend is

He's just a feather compared to you


My heart is now my best friend

No longer my enemy


I've finally said goodbye to you

And said hello to me

(and my boulder)


I'm at the bottom of the lake

(and my boulder)

I'm at the bottom of the lake

(and my boulder)

I'm at the bottom of the lake

(and my boulder)

I'm at the bottom of the lake

(and my boulder


TRASH CAN

by Klaus Bluetner & Tom Jensen

Here is where I stand

Beside a burning trash can

Found a way to relieve my pain

Gathered everything that

reminds me of your name


Ooh...Whoa...

Ooh...Whoa…


Every picture of you and I

And all of the precious possessions

That you left behind

As if a priest I now preside

In leading the funeral procession


My tears over these lost years

Have replaced the

bittersweet tasting wine


Ooh.... Whoa...

Ooh... Whoa...

Ooh... Whoa...


Since I am already pale

Having found I lost my host

I find no further reasons

To invoke the holy ghost


Hoo...


Here is where I stand

Next to everything that you left

Beside a burning trash can

It's the only way that I'll ever forget



Hoo... Ooh...

Hoo... Ooh...

Hoo... Ooh...


SANDCASTLES

by Klaus Bluetner & Tom Jensen

Just when I thought

the tide had turned

I played with fire

And I got burned


Then reality shattered me

No longer listen to such flattery

Find out what she wants from me

And then erase her from my memory


Love is bound to come back

If we were meant to be

Traveling busily across

The deep blue sea...


Sandcastles

Ooh...hoo....

Sandcastles

Ooh...hoo...


Only adults know the rising of the tide

and the pressures we call time

could never withstand


Build a sandcastle and watch it wash away

Try to defeat the tide and return the next day


Wave after wave after wave

Wave after wave after wave


Watch your work

What we call play

Slowly see your structure fade away


I see footprints

Being washed away by the sea

What we had once

Now will never be


Wave after wave after wave

Wave after wave after wave


For the waves rolled in

And washed away our love

I'm sure somewhere up there

God is laughing from above


I'll add your name onto the list

Of pretty faces I couldn't resist


In all my rhymes

and all my verses

Sweet words of love

have been changed to curses



For the truth of life it must be learned

I'm realizing now while your picture burns


Love is bound to come back

If we were meant to be

Traveling busily across

The deep blue sea...


Sandcastles….Ooh...ooh...

Sandcastles….Ooh...ooh...

Sandcastles….Ooh...ooh...

Sandcastles….Ooh...ooh...

Sandcastles….Ooh...ooh...


Wave after wave after wave

Wave after wave after wave


YOU CAN NEVER RUN

AWAY FROM YOURSELF

by Justin Justice & Tom Jensen

I lay on the ground

As I feel death’s cold eyes

Even in defeat

I am not taken by surprise


I am my own rock

By no man’s law I abide

In desperate times

You can look for a place to hide


But you can never

Run away from yourself

In good times and bad times

In sickness and health


There’s no escape when trouble

Has already come

For you can never take back anything

That you have done


I lay on the ground

As I feel death’s cold eyes

Even in defeat

I am not taken by surprise


I am my own rock

By no man’s law I abide

In desperate times

You can look for a place to hide


But you can never

Run away from yourself

In good times and bad times

In sickness and health


Never run away from yourself…
