⚠️ TRIGGER WARNING – SONG LIST SEVEN This set is bruised. Unlike the sunlight and silver linings of previous lists, these songs don't flinch from damage. They sit in the wreckage: watching as love burns down, faith frays, promises splinter, and memory lies to your face with a crooked smile. Even when the tone is calm, the content is sharply personal and quietly devastating. Themes and triggers include: Grief for lovers who chose someone else Emotional whiplash from betrayal by close partners Desperation for meaning after abandonment Persistent loneliness, unacknowledged by the one you waited for Fixation on someone who no longer sees you Alcohol abuse, barstool breakdowns, regret masked as charm Yearning to be sculpted into someone worthy Creative paralysis, trying to write someone out of your system Collapse of romantic idealism Ambiguous losses (someone left, or you left first — but it still broke you) Losing your purpose in someone else's reflection Fantasizing new love as a disguise for unspeakable pain Faith crisis: asking for love but settling for "just be my friend" Several songs teeter on the edge of emotional dependence, others unravel quietly into depression beneath poetic restraint. Dust to Dust brings a whiff of existential dread wrapped in nursery ash. Train and Little Bird disguise heartbreak as cleverness. Unity and Untitled Unlabeled ache with vulnerability dressed up as devotion — but you can hear the begging underneath. If you've been left behind, gaslit, ghosted, or held a love that slowly soured in your hands — this list might cut. These are trying times, as one song puts it. You are not alone. Approach with care if any of the following are sensitive: Romantic abandonment, especially with no closure Gaslighting, manipulation disguised as artistry Creative burnout and loss of identity Unhealthy or codependent attachment Being "inspired" by someone who hurt you Bitterness around friendship vs. intimacy lines Emotional numbness masquerading as strength The pain here is dressed up in poetry — but it still bleeds through the page. You've been warned. HIGH TIDES AND LANDSLIDES SONG LIST 7 1. Blessing in disguise by Justin Justice & Tom Jensen 2. Frames by Jon Jacobs & Tom Jensen 3.

Untitled Unlabeled by Klaus Bluetner & Tom Jensen (1) BLESSING IN DISGUISE by Justin Justice & Tom Jensen Maybe you'll see him again when all is well Up there in heaven or maybe down here in hell There's no telling what the tide will bring to shore No way to know if you'll meet again Once you walk out that door Think of the one you loved whom you now despise Believing that a heart grown cold is a heart grown wise Yet before the flood Mother Nature sighs For she holds a power that no man denies Soaked to the bone as you're on your way home With the umbrella that you hold at least you are not alone Yet you're soaked to the bone as you're on your way home With the umbrella that you hold at least you are not alone Everything happens for a reason soon you will realize That even your worst nightmare could be a blessing in disguise And that after it rains the sun will rise Allowing you to gaze up at brighter skies Your soul will guide you when your heart tells you lies Sometimes when you search you have to close your eyes There is no such path straight as the crow flies This journey you make is filled with lows and highs Soaked to the bone as you're on your way home With the umbrella that you hold at least you are not alone Yet you're soaked to the bone as you're on your way home With the umbrella that you hold at least you are not alone So much for talking You had better start walking With the clouds rolling in pretty soon it'll pour As all the dirt washes down the street Like tears cried over a battle that was lost in defeat Maybe you'll see him again when all is well Up there in heaven or maybe down here in hell There's no telling what the tide will bring to shore No way to know if you'll meet again once you walk out that door Soaked to the bone as you're on your way home With the umbrella that you hold at least you are not alone (2) FRAMES by Jon Jacobs & Tom Jensen One more beer And then I'll head home Unless she comes over her Who wants to be alone? One more story This time I just can't resist It's time to share my pain And what I've been living with Like the crooked picture Which we once hung on the wall When you're hanging by a nail It's just a matter of time before you fall So come on over here and pull up that chair You'll get to learn why my glass is half-full of beer Once I had a jealous girl And she had a jealous mind And we lived inside a jealous world So thus she's no longer mine Like the crooked picture Which we once hung on the wall When you're hanging by a nail It's just a matter of time before you fall Yet everyday she Walks on by straight through And every day I wait here For here to act like she used to However I never Seem to catch her eye Every day she looks down And I think I know why Like the crooked picture Which we once hung on the wall When you're hanging by a nail It's just a matter of time before you fall Every day is the day that she regrets Treating me like we never met Someday she'll agree She messed up a good thing leaving me In through a window Out climbed a broken vow Into this sacred house Where no one else was allowed Like the crooked picture Which we once hung on the wall When you're hanging by a nail It's just a matter of time before you fall A matter of time before you fall (3) UNITY by Justin Justice, Lai Youttitham & Tom Jensen Sometimes when I look into your eyes I feel I've been reborn And yet other times I can feel my heart become Colder, broken and torn There is no greater pain than letting what you want Slip right through you fingertips Sometimes it hurts, sometime it haunts But the burning in your heart still lingers Much like the touch of her lips What I feel I might not always say But I need you tonight just as much as I needed you today Like a river overflowing I know that my love for you is still growing Let us hope it never fades away That is why I say… Unity…you and me together Soon we'll see if we can be Forever for, for one, for one another Or else never will true love ever be discovered Let me bend you and shape you… Into…. what I want you…to be A soul mate….a friend… A lover of life for your whole life 'til its end My soul, conscience and my guide A true mirror to my inside My eternal undying spring Remember… From nothing comes everything… Comes everything My delicate flower Giving me a garden in the wintery snow Take me and show me Exactly where you would like to go We both know that I'd follow just given the word And as soon as I cried From the years of lifted sorrow… You'd be given the world Unity…you and me together Soon we'll see if we can be Forever for one another Unity…you and me together Soon we'll see if we can be Forever for one another Or else never will true love ever be discovered Or else never will a true love ever be discovered (4) DUST TO DUST by Klaus Bluetner & Tom Jensen When you don't wanna remember Yet you can't seem to forget Been through a range of emotions Can't say just one suits you best I've got so much "Save the World" rally 'round stuff And a heart full of fading long lost love letters Don't know from where it appears but there's a whisper In my ear No time to bury my fears No time to stop and disappear I've got a mind that reminds me all the time to be careful of whom I trust when things don't look better Ahhh... Ahhh... For there are those who like to overdose on pleasure and love giving in to lust "C'est la vie" (c'est la vie) Ashes to ashes Diapers to diapers dust to dust... Ashes to ashes Diapers to diapers dust to dust... dust to dust... What is precious…All that is true (what is precious…all that is true) The best of intentions I had and gave these things to you dust to dust... dust to dust... dust to dust…

(5) WATER FLESH AND BONE by Justin Justice & Tom Jensen Should I go to San Francisco? I'm getting sick and tired of the snow I've been stuck around here For all my years And I've been thinking I better go There's not much that I'd be leaving Except the one person I believe in And maybe, maybe that's the reason Maybe it's time to let her go? For every day she waits The closer I come to slipping away I thought we were soul mates But I don't feel as strong about her today As I did yesterday And I'm still waiting... But I'm barely hanging on My mind, it keeps debating Over whether I am right or I am wrong But every time I try to write She becomes the subject of my song And I'm still waiting... But I think that this time I might've been waiting too long She held the hands that helped mold me Into what I now am She was my inspiration Turned the key that drove me Away from a dark and desolate land She was my motivation But we all know That sometimes life doesn't always go The way in which you had it planned Some mornings you feel... Like you're on top of the world While other times... You're the damned of the damned So this morning I asked myself Should I go to San Francisco? I'm getting sick and tired of the snow I've been stuck around here For all my years And I've been thinking I better go There's not much that I'd be leaving Except the one person I believe in And maybe that's the reason Maybe it's time to let her go? (6) TRAIN by Justin Justice & Tom Jensen The conductor blows his whistle Time for the train to leave the gate As I'm sitting by the window Wondering why you're late I promised myself that you'd be here Been telling myself that for so long But as the cars start in motion I'm thinking maybe that I'm wrong Maybe you forgot your ticket Or else on another track On this train I'm leaving And I'm never coming back I said I'd meet you at the station With suitcases in my hand But why you never showed up I'll never understand You know I paid for your ticket Even before I bought one for myself Perhaps you boarded the next car And sitting with someone else In all of this confusion You know I've lost my mind While hurrying for the train I left my heart behind (7) LITTLE BIRD by Justin Justice & Tom Jensen Wondering deep inside my own fascination Gathering all my strength just to open up the door Close my eyes with a little hesitation Knowing I'll never hear your music any more How could someone so dear to me Keep me so confused and from the truth for so long? Whispering of love when she was so near to me When deep inside she knew it was only a song Oh little bird Sing what's in your heart Never sing a song That should never have been heard Oh little bird You turned your trickery into an art Humming a melody These ears should have never heard Oh little bird Oh little bird Sing what's in your heart Never sing a song That should never have been heard Oh little bird You turned your trickery into an art Humming a melody These ears should have never heard Oh little bird (8) HALF FULL by Klaus Bluetner & Tom Jensen My glass is still half-full Though my heart's half-empty My castle's falling down After standing for centuries My faith is still strong As love has not been forgotten I see many trees cut down Yet their fruit has not turned rotten My smile I wear is real My arms are still open I've revealed to you how I feel And even my difficulties coping In this ever-changing world With you not being in it We both know how hard it can be To start over at the beginning Yet we must carry on Without malice or regret Without shame or self-pity Come on! Yes we must be strong Picking ourselves up whenever we get stuck or start stumbling along For when it comes to life Obstacles... There can be many… When I say I have the ability To handle any and all adversity To be the candle on the darkest night Just hold my hand and trust in me And I will try my best to Guide you towards the light And I will lead the battle charge If there comes a time when we must fight

(9) TRYING TIMES by Klaus Bluetner & Tom Jensen I was trying to find a single ray of light To lead me through To guide me onward To help my eyes regain their sight I was trying to find a single fresh breath of air To fill my lungs so I could scream and yell out your name So you'd know where I am after you disappeared I was trying to find a single reason why you left But I could not as I thought and thought There was nothing I said… There was nothing I did Except give you everything I always tried my best to give you everything I got I was trying to find a single reason to go on Be it only to be right Or perhaps just to prove you wrong Maybe if you could see me happy again It would show you that I'm still strong I was trying to find a single reason not to cry For it seems like the right thing to do When you feel so broken and empty inside For these trying times Seem to bring out the monster that hides Beneath the false face I wear The one that covers my sadness and my despair All my pain and hurt When the flame of light no longer glows bright Or whenever I do finally flint a fire I always find myself getting burnt (10) USED TO BE by Klaus Bluetner & Tom Jensen I used to be really rockin' I used to be rollin' I had it I lost it I found it…and then it was stolen So now I'm back out lookin' Down the avenue I'm strollin' Still got the fire but nothing's cookin' I had it once but I no longer hold it Gone, gone, gone away I found it once but I no longer own it Led, led, led astray Let everybody see it When I never should have shown it No, no, no way And if you can't clone it Then you better lock it away That's why today Is just the price we have to pay For yesterday's mistakes For jumping in the lake When it was far too shallow and much too cold Didn't pay for the ticket but ride is getting old All right everyone gather around Everybody's gotta play their part Go starting looking all over the ground And don't stop looking until you find my heart I once gave it away But it was disregarded And the way I see it You'll probably find it in pieces 'Cause she left me here so brokenhearted I used to be really rockin' I used to be rollin' (11) MATCH MAKER by Klaus Bluetner & Tom Jensen I'm inspired...again By the flame of a fire at least it's not the rain I'm inspired...again Will this song that I sing just sound the same? The same as all the other songs That I used to write Where the melody was truly beautiful But the words were never right Or maybe it was just the name What if I change it? And yet let the lyrics remain Perhaps then all would be In perfect harmony If instead of her and I I wrote about you and me... I'm inspired...again to open my heart And with this new start another song would begin Or it could all come to an end And instead of an old love song This time I could start my new rhyme: A poem freshly penned for a friend Either way I would write with words full of love Hoping that you and I unite Sharing all the dreams we've been thinking of... I'm inspired...again By the flame of a fire at least it's not the rain I'm inspired...again Will this song that I sing just sound the same?

(12) UNTITLED UNLABELED by Klaus Bluetner & Tom Jensen I will never ask you For what you cannot give Since I always speak the truth I no longer know how to live In a world full of illusions False promises and disguise One that no longer seeks solutions Only places to hide I wouldn't ask you for your heart... Only for some piece of mind I wouldn't ask you for your body Only for some of your time I will never ask you If you'll love me 'til the end I'd just ask you to hold my hand And walk and talk with me and be my friend I will never ask you For that which I'd ever have to take Nor would I want something that wasn't real Hollow, pretentious or fake I wouldn't ask you for your heart... Only for some piece of mind I wouldn't ask you for your body... Only for some of your time I will never ask you If you'll love me 'til the end I'd just ask you to hold my hand And walk and talk with me and be my friend I would ask you… To just be my friend... I would ask you… To just be my friend...
