Finding Ben

Verse 1
I'm not looking around
Not looking for anything in particular
Minding my own business is my motto
I always keep to myself
And avoid situations which belong to others
I've got troubles of my own
The imbalance they create in my life
Need to be corrected before I can move on

Verse 2
I will not be your friend
Won't be the one to listen to your cries
You can flood this town
And I still won't flinch
Your tears won't provoke me
To take action to your cause
You can save your breath
Just leave me the hell alone
I don't love you
I never did and I never will

Verse 3
I'm not looking around
Not looking for anything in particular
I will not be your friend
Won't be the one to listen to your cries
I've got a journey of my own
And I can't lose focus
I make no apologies for wanting to know the real me

Bridge
Leave me alone
Let me be
Attempts at agitation won't suppress me

Chorus
I don't need anybody
I don't want anybody
I'm only looking for me
My mission is to find Ben

Outro
I'm only looking for me
My mission is to find Ben

Things Fall Apart

Verse 1
In the night, you're not quite as bright
Please, don't put up a fight
Things will be alright
If your lover takes flight
And floats like a kite
My head you shouldn't bite
Things will be alright
Check your height
Adjust your sight
Long are the nights
Things will be alright
You want to be right
But you're not quite as tight
Your words should be light
Things will be alright

Verse 2
In the night, you're not quite as bright
You're carrying a wounded heart
Things fall apart
Your lover has disappeared
Desperation sets in
You're searching in fear
Things fall apart
Check your weight
It's being used as bait
During the days, you must wait
Things fall apart
You want attention and love
You want to be treated like a dove
Sometimes longing is unfulfilled
Things fall apart

Chorus
Day in and nights out
Things falls apart
Just when you're settling into place
Things fall apart
You can't hide and you can't prevent it
Things fall apart
Things will be alright
You'll be alright
You may not understand it
You may not believe it
Things fall apart

Let Go

Verse 1
Oh, what a night
Unexpected but good
Arriving early - just doing what I could
First kiss of the night
As a way to say "hello"
From a friendly guy who is really into me
A pissy man getting jealous and complaining
After seeing a naked man and becoming envious
Having better looks
Can sometimes get the claws out
And when people open their mouths
Garbage comes out of it

Verse 2
What a delight to see you once again
I've thought about you
Thought about you and your friend
Lift me up and swing me around
Be inside of me and make a joyous sound
Compliments are good
They elevate your mood
But action is so much better
Than opening your mouth
Nobody looks at me the way that you do
Your eyes are locked in
And draw me closer to you

Bridge 1
In the dark of the night
Excitement takes hold
In the dark of the night
Frisky fun begins
What I choose to do
Is always up to me
And I want to do interesting things with you

Bridge 2
In the dark of the night
Boldness takes hold
In the dark of the night
Freedom begins
What we choose to do
Is always up to us
Interesting minds are always curious

Chorus
Smart, funny and outgoing
Is irrelevant, is irrelevant
Exotic nature is in high demand
Reach down inside
And flaunt what you've got
No holds barred is the sentiment of the evening
It's undeniable
Unspoken, lingering in the air
Just let go - only if you dare

The Coast Is Never Clear

Verse 1
Hiding away, every day
Afraid to show yourself in broad daylight
Obsessing over appearances
Wanting to look better than you are
Your thoughts are on overdrive
You've got to slow yourself down
Troubles come and troubles go
But if you wait too long
You'll never know
If you can be more than you are

Verse 2
Hiding away, every day
Obsessing over appearances
Your thoughts are in overdrive
Troubles come and troubles go
You'll never know if you don't grow
Falling down and rising up
Part of the motions of life
Choose to live out a dream
Or fantasize about it endlessly

Verse 3
Hiding away, every day
Obsessing over appearances
Your thoughts are on overdrive
Troubles come and troubles go
You'll never know if you don't grow
Falling down and rising up
Part of the motions of life
Choose to live out a dream
Or fantasize about it endlessly

Chorus
The coast is never clear
But there comes a time
When you'll have to make a run for it
The coast is never clear
But there comes a time
When you'll have to get out of your mind

A Thousand Benjamins

Verse 1
For the first time, I love someone
I never thought it was possible
That person does not love me back
But I'm just fine with that
The only thing that bothers me
Is that he's with somebody else
I'm no longer the center of his attention
I have become his former lover
I desperately want to be with him
Be close to him in every sense of the word

Verse 2
I deeply care about the man
Whom I fell for
I love him more than I love myself
He became my world, my home
The only part of him which I have are memories
Every little detail embedded within my heart, my mind

Bridge
Mmmmm, ooohhh, mmmmmm
Shy bordering on anti-social
Longing for conversation
Independent bordering on selfishness
Wanting a friend or two
Unrealistic views bordering on insanity
Needing to change my luck
Inaction bordering on indifference
Refusing to harm myself
Mmmmm, mmmmm

Chorus 1
Ecstatically happy, then depressingly sad
Joyful and disappointed
Delightfully surprised, then stunningly upset
Amazed and angry

Chorus 2
Genuinely optimistic, then distressingly apprehensive
Proud and confused
Wonderfully interested, then violently annoyed
Caring and insensitive
Optimistic, apprehensive - a thousand Benjamins, a thousand Benjamins
Interested, annoyed - a thousand Benjamins, a thousand Benjamins
Happy, sad - a thousand Benjamins, a thousand Benjamins
Amazed, angry - a thousand Benjamins, a thousand Benjamins

Eyes

Verse 1
I saw you but you looked away from me
I am not blind and neither are you
Then why do I feel like I have poor vision?
Maybe it's because I was blind-sided by reality
You let me into your home
Eventually into your bed
I foolishly believed that I was a part of your life

Verse 2
Some say that eyes are windows to one's soul
If that is true, then yours are dark and cold
They appeared to be warm and inviting
Now I see them as your tools of deception
I was starting to give you all of me
Instead, you took away what we could have been

Verse 3
Oh, poor pitiful me
I was taken for a ride, then cast out to sea
You appointed yourself as my master and commander
Directing me through some of my highs and lows
When the waters were still
Moments with you were refreshingly enjoyable
But when the waters rose
Our eyes were at different levels

Chorus
My eyes saw you as a decent person
As a thoughtful and caring man
I assumed your eyes saw me as an attractive person
As an inquisitive and open minded dude
Now my eyes see you as a shallow person
As a disrespectful and insensitive jerk

Born To Be Blue

Verse 1
Happiness is fiction
When all you've known is sadness
Smiling is possible
Only when it's forced
Laughter is poisonous
When you're subjected to ridicule
It's the only thing you hear
As you replay it in your mind

Verse 2
Love is over-rated
When you're indifferent to it
Joy is just another word
When it's not felt
There's no such thing as kindness
When you want something in return
Promises do not exist
When lying is the norm

Bridge
This is not a dream
It's as real as it gets
You feel low each and every day
Pain is the only thing you've known

Chorus 1
You were born to be blue
A state of mind that is permanent
You were born to be blue
A way of life that is unchanging
Born to be blue

Chorus 2
You were born to be blue
A state of mind that is permanent
You were born to be blue
A way of life that is unchanging
You were born to be blue
You had no say in the matter
You were born to be blue
It's the only thing you know how to do
You were born to be blue
I feel like I am just like you
I, too, am blue

Anything

Verse 1
You're a whor-e
An ungrateful whor-e
You'd spread your legs for anyone
If they offered you trinkets
You'd take them without hesitation
Placing limits is what you don't do
Any part of your body is what you'll use
Open your mouth, open it wide
Let others put whatever they want inside
You're a whor-e
An ungrateful whor-e
The glare in your eyes strike to the core

Verse 2
You're a slu-t
An easy-on-all-sides slu-t
The "Lights! Camera! Action!" type
If it's a thought, it'll be acted out
And once it's acted out
It'll be repeated
You don't aim to please
And you don't aim to disappoint
You just do whatever comes naturally
You're a slu-t
An easy-on-all-sides slu-t
The smoothness of your skin electrifies the senses

Bridge
You're a whor-e and you know it
You're a slu-t and you feel it
You're a whor-e and you like it
You're a slu-t and you get it
You're a whor-e and a hater
You're a slu-t and a lover

Chorus
A kiss, a touch
Nothing is too much
You'll do anything
A lick, a fuc-k
It doesn't matter
You'll say anything
All places, all scenes
Eventually, anything goes
You'll never disagree

You Are Not The One

Verse 1
Oranges are not the only fruit
This may be a shock to your system
But I guess we're back where we started
You're wounded and I'm holding the bow
It wasn't malicious intent on my part
But I hate to tell you
That 'I told you so'

Verse 2
You can say you knew me
When we were close
Since then, we've grown apart
When only the memory remains
Feelings have dissipated
And emotions are remembered
I could have been crowned king for a day
Then I'd be a fool for a lifetime

Bridge
Not all who wander are lost
I know what I'm searching for
This bridge, I must cross
Wrestling over tiny matters
Is what we'd do
If we stayed together
You've got to admit
That you are not the one for me

Chorus 1
You are not the one
That I want to spend my life with
You are not the one
That I would die for
You are not the one
That I could open up to
You are not the one
That I love with everything in me
You are not the one

Chorus 2
You are not the one
That I want to wake up next to
You are not the one
That I want to hold in my arms
You are not the one
That I want to grow old with
You are not the one
That I love with everything in me

Chorus 3
You are not the one
That I want to spend my life with
You are not the one
That I love with everything in me
You are not the one

I Can Hear You

Verse 1
We all learn how to crawl
And eventually we learn how to walk
Before we head out into the world
And build a life for ourselves
You're having difficulties walking on your own
And when you fall
No one's there to reach out a hand
For you to get back up
Using the strength that you have
Won't be enough to get off the ground

Verse 2
We all learn how to make sounds
And eventually we learn how to speak
Before we head out into the world
And build a life for ourselves
When you fell trapped
No one's willing to comfort you
To calm your fears

Verse 3
We all learn how to take commands
And eventually we learn to make a stand
For all that is important to us
You mean the world to me

Bridge 1
To affirm is to agree it's true
And when you scream, I feel it too
I can hear you

Chorus
I can hear you
Feel free to tell me what you need
My undivided attention is yours for the taking
If you need to express yourself
I'll be the witness by your side
If you call and no one answers
Know that I can hear you

Let Me Go

Verse 1
Let me go
I was never yours to begin with
Leave now and never return
Look away - You are not beautiful to me
I can't bare the sight of you
You make me sick to my stomach
Stop calling me
We have nothing to say to each other
Letters you write go into the garbage can
Stop following me
I've got no place to go
You're no longer in my life
And there's good reason for that

Verse 2
When you speak, I tune your voice out
Scream as loud as you can
I will not hear you
I've got more important things to do
Than to waste time with the likes of you
You don't mean anything to me
How could you be foolish to believe that you do?
I would like to forget about you
But I can't because you haven't left yet

Verse 3
Let me go
I was never yours to begin with
Your baggage weighs a ton
I won't carry it for you
Here's the simple truth you try to ignore
I do not love you and I never will

Bridge 1
How heartless do you want me to be
Until you finally know the real me
You're pushing harder and more frequently
Even if you don't know what you're doing

Bridge 2
Let me go
I was never yours to begin with
Leave now and never return

Chorus
I'm not into playing head games
Don't you understand that you're driving me insane?
I never signed up for any of this
So take me off your list
And let me go

We Want Freedom

Verse 1
We want freedom
We're tired of being oppressed
And we won't stop until we achieve it
This war, oh this war, is killing us daily
And soon enough we will cease to exist
We're no longer afraid of speaking our minds
Years of silence have done us no good
Propaganda will not deter us
We've formed an army of resistance

Verse 2
We want a future
Dictated by our needs and by our wants
We're tired of being slaves
This illusion, oh this illusion, is undermining our potential
And soon enough we will cease to think
We're no longer afraid of standing up for ourselves
Years of inaction have led to regression
Obstacles and challenges will not deter us
We've formed a union of truth-seekers

Verse 3
We started a movement
The cause is just and moral
It will spread like a wildfire
This life, oh this life, is a gift for us to cherish
And soon enough we won't take it for granted
We're no longer afraid of being imperfect
Years of trying not to be have left us with nothing
Sins and misdemeanors will not deter us
We've formed a bond with the Almighty

Chorus 1
We have been down but we're far from out
We have been low with no place to go
After all the fear-mongering and control
We want freedom

Chorus 2
We have been down but we're far from out
We have been low with no place to go
After all the madness and intimidation
We want freedom

Hurt

Verse 1
I'm being honest when I say that I don't like people
Telling you that I hate them is not being dramatic
I even go out of my way to avoid human beings
Never been close to anyone and never want to
Friends would be a burden
Acquaintances would be time-consuming
Keeping to myself allows me to avoid their drama

Verse 2
Their general attitude just pisses me off
Their simple mindedness has always been alarming
They are easily manipulated, easily controlled
If I ruled the world
I'd be the only one living in it
Just take a look around
And you will find nothing but madness
This non-existence of ours is truly pathetic

Bridge
I'm not exaggerating, I'm not telling any lies
This is how people are
They have always been this way
This frustration of mine is slowly taking my life away
The human race is to blame
What a darn shame

Chorus
Bash their heads in
Spit inside their mouths
Kick 'em in the balls
Hurt them any way you can
Cut their breasts out
Poke them in the eye
Punch 'em in the gut
Hurt them any way you can

No Retreat, No Surrender

Verse 1
Stand in the place where you live
Stand in the place where you work
Stand in the place where you go to play
Beat down intimidation
Shun ignorance, dispel lies
Deception rises and falls throughout time

Verse 2
Southerners try scare tactics
While northerners try manipulation
Westerners play dumb from the start
Easterners are welcoming
Because they have ulterior motives
It's best to be stuck in the middle

Verse 3
Days are passing quicker than ever
Making time even more precious
Losing a little means losing a lot
Hope for the best, prepare for the worst
Situations are increasingly complex

Chorus 1
No retreat, no surrender
Choose to stay and fight

Chorus 2
No hiding, no giving up
Reclaim yourself and what you own

The Terminator

Verse 1
Thicken your lips
Bleach your skin
Buy your hair
You're still disgusting
Spray perfume
Wear make-up
Buy your buttocks
You're still unappealing
You call yourself a 'Queen'
They call you a 'Queen'
But you hate yourself more than anyone else
And so you inflict misery upon others

Verse 2
Countless men in jail
Countless men dead
Indifference prevails
You're disgusting
Being a member of a protected class
Means reality is optional
You're unappealing
You call yourself a 'Queen'
They call you a 'Queen'
But you're the least desired woman in the world
And so you inflict misery upon others

Bridge
You fight in the streets
Like you're a wild beast
You have a tendency
To take things to the extreme
An increasingly number of people
Know how you operate
And they want nothing to do with you

Chorus
You have the ability to wipe out
Everything in your presence
A dangerous alliance you have formed
With the one who thinks most like you
You've been designed to act a certain way
As the leaders, you always fail
You don't realize your brains are fried
You're overly emotional
This is the life of a terminator

This Is Love, This Is Murderous

Verse 1
This is love, this is murderous
The best thing that could ever happen
At the worst possible time
This is pure and genuine
Conquering anything, forsaking others
While regret begins to grow
Hearts and souls uniting
In a world divided by hate

Verse 2
This is love, this is murderous
Sweet sensations colliding with the bitter aftermath
All involved will sustain injuries
This is a blessing from on high
This is a curse from way down below
Good versus evil takes centre stage
Minds and spirits uniting
In a world divided by fear

Bridge
Trading in every possession
For a lifetime filled with happiness
Is worth far more than silver and gold
This is whole and never-ending
Patching up all the broken pieces
Only to have them scattered around

Chorus 1
This is love, this is murderous
Unpredictability
Sunshine and blue skies
On a perfect summer day
This is love, this is murderous
Volatility
Riding on highs and sinking on lows
On a horrible winter day
Reality overpowers fantasy
This is love, this is murderous

Chorus 2
This is love, this is murderous
Unpredictability
This is love, this murderous
Volatility
This is love, this is murderous
Set me free, lock me up
This is love, this is murderous

I Like To Play Games

Verse 1
My big, brown eyes are alluring
My lips are juicy, thick and full
I know that you want every part of me
From my head, to my toes
And inside and out

My ears may be small
But down under I'm above average
I know that you want to measure me
From my chest, to my waist
Then to my thighs

I do what I can to get your worked up
Getting off from it provides me satisfaction
It's amazingly thrilling to know
That I've got you wrapped around my soft fingers

Verse 2
Let me get back to my body
It's so sweet, it's sweeter than brown sugar
It's like nothing you've tasted before
Eat it up for breakfast, lunch and dinner

After previewing a few of my priceless assets
You're ready to have every cell in me
Insured for a million dollars

I'm highly effective in getting you worked up
You believe your desires will be fulfilled
It's delightfully intriguing to know
That I can heat you up anytime, anywhere

Verse 3
I'm not looking to get serious
LTR drama is so unappealing
I like to liven things up
With some herbs, some spice
I can be naughty or nice

I crave your undivided attention
And the way you listen intently
Living it up is my occupation
I promise to use you any way I choose

You are oblivious to my intentions
And that's how I want it to be
It's refreshingly reassuring to know
That I can work you like magic

Chorus 1
I like to play games
I'm guaranteed to be the winner
I memorized all the secret codes
I rarely follow any of the rules
I have captured your five senses
Without you realizing that they were gone
I smirk and I grin
After leaving you hanging like a thread

Chorus 2
I like to play games
I'm guaranteed to be the winner
I memorized all the secret codes
I rarely follow any of the rules
I have captured your five senses
Without you realizing they were gone
I smirk and I grin
After leaving you hanging like a thread
I am such a pro where games are concerned
Playing to win is what I do
I memorized all the secret clues
I rarely follow any of the rules
I have seized every inch of you
Without you knowing what I'm going to do
I smile and I laugh
After leaving you wailing in the breath of me

Little Barrie

Verse 1
You're growing a bit bigger
But not big enough
To cause me to rush into your domain
I see where you're at
But I don't know for sure
If that's the place where I want to be
Soon enough I'll have to decide
On what I want my future to be
I can't let indecisiveness get the best of me
I know that there are no guarantees
And that's the way it's supposed to be
Leaps of faith can change one's life for the better
I shouldn't discount the power of timing

Verse 2
Sometimes I feel like I am drowning
And when I try to come up for air
I sink a little deeper into my mind
Where thoughts run rampant
And chaos is the norm
It's perpetually in a mental storm
But with your help, I may have a chance
To finally breakaway free
And become the person I've longed to be
For many years it was just a dream
Now it's a possibility

Bridge
Miles of land separate us
A common goal could unite us
If I were made of bricks
I'd stand firm on my own
But I'm just a man looking for a place to call home

Chorus 1
Little Barrie
With your minimal strength
And your small size
In the centre of confusion
What can you do for me
That I can't do on my own?
Where will you take me
That I haven't been before?
I've heard some things about you
That I'm not quite sure are true
You could be what I need
So I'll take a chance on you

Chorus 2
Little Barrie
With your minimal strength
And your small size
In the centre of confusion
I've heard some things about you
That I'm not quite sure are true
You could be what I need
So I'll take a chance on you
And if I become very attached
I could fall in love with you

A Good House

Verse 1
Peace like a river - steadily flowing
Love like a circle - never-ending
Joy like a light bulb - shining brightly
Hope like a rainbow - full of promise
Laughter like a surprise - oh, so sweet
Faith like a fruit - very beneficial
Conversations like a novel
Always different each time it's real

Verse 2
It's built of more than bricks
It's built of more than stone
Windows so large
You can see the opening of its soul
Doors are portals into its generous heart
Harsh words don't exist
What is heard are beautiful ballads
Downstairs, upstairs - there's no difference
Wherever you are
Is just as good as any room
The exterior reveals much, but not all
Step inside to see and feel what goes on

Bridge
It's not for rent, it's not for sale
You can build your own
That way you can customize every square foot
You become the architect and the builder
The best investment you will ever make
Is owning a good house

Chorus
A good house has been built
With a solid foundation
And when storms pass through
It will still be standing
Those who live inside the house
Will turn it into a home
The one that everyone in the neighbourhood
Is envious of

Take Me To The Disco

Verse 1
Loosen up naturally / Like me that way
Glad about it / Sweet and simple
Everyone deserves music / Music for your neighbourhood
Something old, something new
Lights and shadows / Nude dimensions
Moving cities / East to west and back again
Friends and lovers / Love and dancing
So good together / Dreams of passion

Verse 2
Shockwave of kisses / Wrapped in rainbows
How sweet the sound / Simply delicious
Bodies that matter / Shake it all about
Foggy highway / The moon and Antarctica

Bridge
Only the good parts / Moment to moment
On wings of a dove / Beyond a dream
It's getting better / Across a crowded room
Finally alone with you

Chorus
Take me to the disco
The night is calling for me
I'm tired of being stuck in the suburbs
All things bright and beautiful appeal to me
I want to travel the world
Through dance and sensation
Take me to the disco
