Verse 1:
It's time, to set all the animals free.
It's time, to kill all the lawyers.
Won't you come with me, into the forest.
Where the trees can fall, with no one to hear them.
Chorus:
Why's it always feel so sad.
Look at all we've thrown away.
Let's hold on to what we have.
Is that so much more to ask.
Life can't always be this way.
Verse 2:
If I, could handle your innocent dreams.
I'd try, to drain all your chemicals.
Won't you come with me, into the country.
Where will bathe ourselves, in cool radiation.
Chorus:
Why's it always feel so sad.
Look at all we've thrown away.
Let's hold on to what we have.
Is that so much more to ask.
Life can't always be this way.

Killing Time

Verse 1:
I don't wanna go outside today, think I'm gonna let the time wash me over.
Can't imagine why you'd lie to me, maybe I should get this pain off my shoulders.
Everybody says "don't waste my time on you."
But I'm still blind to see you've given up.
Chorus:
I'm hooked this time and I think I love you.
And I hope it's not too late to bring you down.
Cause I've been killing time.
Verse 2:
I don't wanna put these chains on you., I could never know the pain you belong to.
But this time you got your hooks in me, never thought you'd bring me down for the last time.
All the signs are saying there's no turning back.
But my heart knows it's too late for that.
Chorus:
I'm hooked this time and I think I love you.
And I hope it's not too late to bring you down.
Cause I've been killing time.
Maybe I should stay till the morning.
And we'll know just what it's for.
Cause I found out, why we've been killing time.

Good To You

|
Verse 1:
I heard you say it's only a matter of time.
Before I'm down and on your shelf.
You turn away and paint my innocence blind.
I think it's time, take a look at yourself.
Chorus
Wasn't I good to you?
Wasn't I good to you?
Wasn't I good to you?
Wasn't I good to you?
Verse 2:
You force me down and into your world of despair.
This hate you stir only pulls you below.
I thought by now you'd find just a little love to share.
But you can't give away what you've never owned.
Chorus
Verse 3:
So now you find you've come to your senses at last.
It seems your passion was there all along.
I'm not too sure if I'm gonna run back to fast.
I'm three times shy and I'm best on my own.

Edge Of The Moon

Verse 1:
You say you wanna leave me baby, please don't go too far.
Cause I don't wanna be away from you heart.
I know the things I offer you don't compare to what you want.
But I would give my life for one look through your eyes.
Chorus:
Living on the edge of the moon.
Watching the sun go down, watching you.
Listening for the sound of a tear drop falling.
Alone again, on my own again.
Verse 2:
I can understand you baby, holding back your love.
But you should never be afraid to fall down.
You know the hand that holds you could never build a wall around.
And I would give my life for your touch and caress.
Bridge:
With an old man's eyes and the smile of a child.
We watch though windows and hold on.
We try not to live in deception oh.

So Cruel

Verse 1:
She don't deserve this, it aint her fault.
And I'm not saying, I don't know, what is on her mind.
She's trying to find her, sensitive side, aint enough what she's been thinking.
She can be so extreme and misunderstood, on and on and always talking.
She's sincere and relatively concerned.
And she wants:
Chorus
Someone who respects what she knows.
Someone who respects what she told them.
Someone who respects what she does.
Wouldn't be so cruel, so cruel.
Verse 2:
She can be so shy, but not right now.
The flowers in her garden grow, in spite of the rain.
She can't deny this, the silence is so insane.
But she can be, fiery eyed and close to the flame, it's hard to tell what's on her mind.
She's sincere and very rarely complains.
And she knows.
Chorus
Someone who respects what she knows.
Someone who respects what she told them
Someone who respects what she does.
Wouldn't be so cruel, so cruel.
Bridge:
She wants me there, it's always the same hotel.
She don't think I know, I'm the only one, patient enough to care.
Chorus
Someone who respects what she knows.
Someone who respects what she told them.
Someone who respects what she does.
Wouldn't be so cruel, so cruel.
So cruel, so cruel.
Wouldn't be so cruel, so cruel.
So cruel, wouldn't be so cruel.
So cruel, so cruel, so ....

Michael Mastro Cleveland, Ohio
Michael grew up around influences of classic rock, pop and jazz. Early on he was exposed to a variety of musical styles from Grand Funk, Parliament Funkadelic, Jimi Hendrix, Sinatra, Steve Earle and everything in-between. "I remember making my dad buy me the Parliament album with Maggot Brain on it because I was the kid who was fascinated by the song with the cool guitar sound and solo." ... more
