1. Oh!(music: Craig - lyrics: Mark/Craig - melody: Mark/Craig)

so familiar with the places, those they've done before and some you still don't know

so familiar with the graces, but just so ya know, my time is short, so it's time for you to go

 

inhale you as I ponder over where I'll be and what I'll soon become

derail you as I wander over where I see the shiver soon will come

not overstating measures, just prepared to offer all it is I know

not overrating pleasure, but if you wanna see, that it is so then come with me

cuz it's time for you to go

 

I don't have to be the one, no beginnings have begun,

after all, it all will end, no use trying to pretend

that you're the one I want to know, I just wanna make you go

 


2. Comin' Around (music: Craig - lyrics: Mark/Craig - melody: Mark/Craig)

it's been so long I know, though sometimes I pretend cuz it hasn't really been that long since then

it's been so wrong I know, though I didn't intend to be

another song I know, that I'll have to defend cuz it doesn't make sense, and it probably won't end

but it doesn't make sense, and it never does end for me, but it's comin' around...

 

it's comin' around once again, it is...

 

this one-on-one long ride, 'til you're empty inside never sounded so good, never sounded alive

cuz the sound when I drowned, hit resound as it ground out the me

still I can't deny, that the moment I fly when the taste of a breath pulls the death out of I

is the why that defies all the whys that my eyes really see, still it's comin' around...

 

I've tried to stop my heart from beating cuz I weaken when I hear the sound

I know it's comin' around

 


3. Cleared Out & Off Again (music: Craig - lyrics & melody: Mark)

cleared out & off again, I'm right back where I started and I don't feel too much sadness, though the madness soon will come upon me forcing out evaluation, hopefully a realization as the should'ves and the could'ves feed on my self-deprecation

cleared out & off again, guess I just lost another friend but maybe we can talk again, when all of this is over

cleared out & off again, and though my heart is on the mend my mind has started it's own bend, and thoughts are moving faster toward the fact that it is out of reach to find another that can teach me all  that I don't know and yet learn from me what I've mastered

there's nowhere to go when the love & hate collide, it just tangles up inside

cleared out & off again, guess I just lost another friend still I hope we can talk again when all of this is over

cleared out & off again, I'm sick of trying to pretend to be another not offend, and make impressions that I know are not all me but someone else, that someone else wants me to be and all the while I sit & smile while fearing soon it's me they'll see

cleared out & off again, guess I just lost another friend I don't think we will talk again, when all of this is over

and there's nowhere to go when the love & hate collide, it just tangles up inside

cleared out & off again, guess I just lost another friend I know we'll never talk again, even when this is over

cleared out & off again, I always knew that it would end now all the memories of once when go in another folder

cleared out & off again, and only me do I defend and so to me insight I lend, on me can only I depend with others, love as might heart lets, cover all of my heart's bets but still I'm wary as I carry on & bury my regrets

and there's nowhere to go when the love & hate collide it just tangles up inside, until a place just has to die

and I don't really know why the black & white turn gray,

and will I ever find my way?

 


4. Disconnected (music: Craig - lyrics: Mark/Craig - melody: Mark/Craig)

The paper in the room is full of gloom & doom

and soon another tune will ring in my cocoon

that breathes & sings to me

 

of I and why I cannot fly and why I cannot hide

and why the other I & I collide

when I've been forced to open wide

 

I'll have to fake another day, I'd rather take another way

it's my mistake, so I will never show it

there is no rhyme to what I do, there is no time for me & you

the know is mine & so I know it

I am cool, I am calm, I am disconnected

 

a single me is what you see, unbridled, free of what is me

from me I flee into a scene

another hero from a book entitled "I Will Never Smile"

yet all the while my hero smiles and faces me with brave denials

he learned from talking with a child

 

those I think know me still create a place that I must learn to be

I can never break this face I know they see

peel away a piece, watch them run & scatter

never knowing if I matter

 


5. All Outta Dope (music: Craig - lyrics: Craig/Mark- melody: Craig/Mark)

 

my head's been hurtin' and it just won't seem to go away

I know for certain it'll be back today

ain't got no money, and my life's kinda lame

but that ain't the reason lately I've been going insane

 

I'm all outta dope---don't think I can cope, I'm all outta dope

don't think I can cope, it's really no joke, I'm all outta dope

 

I need some help cuz I don't think I'll last another day

I never felt without it I was o.k.

tried thinkin' drinkin' but it's just not the same

cuz a joint's the point I need to keep from going insane

 

I've got an empty bag, ain't even got no shwag

there's nothing left to scrape, I hope you can relate

could use a friend indeed, to share their friendly weed

I'd even settle for a bowl of seeds

 


6. Forgiven (music: Craig - lyrics & melody: Mark)

 

it's the real life, and I so wanna know the way to get, I so wanna know the way to set, I wanna know the way to let me realize cuz I know all about the things you said, I know all about the things you did, I know about the things you fed to me. I am a song that will never be complete, a wrong that will never be discrete, long is will that never sleeps through free nights, never coming to an end, it's not ever coming to ascend and I'm never coming to again

I'm thinking about all the years, and it's taking me back for more. I'm bringing about all the fears, and it's taking me back before the way I was when I shouldn't've, and the day I was when I couldn't've and to say I was when I wouldn't've, is the way I wrote it off in the name of love

there's no free ride but I still don't remember saying yes, I still don't remember praying rest, I remember playing best through these tides though the waves always did come drown on me, these days always did come 'round on me, haze always comes down on me. to be, I must be all that I ever want to be, must be that I ever want to see, trust all that I want to me. you see, I close another hole but then I'm closin' another whole but when I'm close in another hole again

I get caught up in the right & wrong of real, caught up in the right & wrong of heal, write up all the wrong I feel to see my reason for the wrong I do, reason for this song. I knew treason, I belong anew

to believe, I must take all of the time of which this takes, take all of the rhyme of which dictates, all the mine which it mistakes. a brief life which I know that I must start livin', so to me it has now been written, that for me you are forgiven.


7. Run Away & Hide (music: Craig - lyrics: Mark - melody: Mark/Craig)

 

blue is the color that I see

when you try and color over

gray is the shade you make my life

no ray to break away the shade with light

 

no, stop holding me down

I'm so low, stop molding me now

the control is folding me now

I must go, this colding me frightens my soul

which you would take if I don't...

 

run away & hide, no contemplation

find a way inside, no hesitation

take another ride, one more vacation

run away & hide

 

pain is the way you show you care

insane is the show that you prepare

free is the place I wanna end

with me in the place of you, my friend

 

no, stop holding me down

I'm so low, stop molding me now

the control is folding me now

I must go, this colding me frightens my soul

which you would take if I don't go with you,

I know you'll break my soul in two,

no time to wait, I...

 


8. I Was Wrong (music: Craig - lyrics: Mark - melody: Mark/Craig)

 

tried so hard to give myself to what I thought was you

all along I never felt the you showed me was true

 

there's so much I didn't see (can't believe you didn't notice)

couldn't say what I believed (we all talked about it for you)

there was never room to breathe (that's why we told you to leave)

so if ever I surrender, I must make myself remember

 

I can't believe that I was wrong, in wanting you to stay

but you kept hangin' on

I can't believe that I was wrong, in wanting you to stay

we just don't belong

 

tried so hard to be the one that you were wishing for

wish I knew that you'd become a wish I'd want no more

 


9. Nothing Good (music: Craig - lyrics: Craig/Mark- melody: Craig/Mark)

 

another night of who is right

I think I've had enough of this tonight

another day of nothing to say

I think it's really best to stay away

 

cuz I've got nothing good to say to you

cuz I think nothing good is enough for you

 

over & then, over again

still we finish where it all began

overdefend, over again

and still over never means the end

 

seems all that together means all that we weather is for naught

the days that we share and the ways that we care is just more fought

and I'm always bettin' the next time you threaten we'll dismiss

I sure wish you would, cuz I know nothing good could come of this

 


10. Remember (music: Craig - lyrics & melody: Craig)

 

I came across a letter addressed to you

another thing I wanted to but didn't do

I know I could've been there more

I know I could've made you feel

like the part of me that you are

 

I wanna remember you, when I've got no one to turn to

I wanna remember you...

 

I know that I'm the reason we couldn't last

but I'm the kind who misses what I let go past

and I'll be at your wedding, too

I just want the best for you

wish I could've been to you, what you were to me

 

and now I'm all alone, with nothin' to do

I thought I had something, but it's nothing really without you

 


11. You Don't (music: Mike Glaser & Craig - lyrics & melody: Craig)

 

I wanna believe what you tell me

I wanna see what you sell me

 

you don't hear & you don't fear &

you don't show & you don't know

you don't...

 

I wanna taste what you feed me

I wanna waste when you need me

 

you don't hear & you don't fear &

you don't show & you don't know

you don't...

 

you don't need & you don't bleed &

you don't care & you don't share &

you don't hear & you don't fear &

you don't show & you don't know

you don't...

 


12. Sideline Psychology (music: Jaimie Scott - lyrics & melody: Jaimie Scott)

 

you know everything, about everyone

it's indisputable, you're never wrong

I had my pride, but you made me blue

I screwed up, when I screwed you

 

don't want your... sideline psychology,

the games you play are killing me

you're ruining all the best years of my life

you messed me up from A to Z,

your words live on in infamy

you're making me regret making you my wife

 

well, a shotgun & your daddy

made our wedding, so happy

we were young, yeah, we danced and sang

then we romanced, and then I came
