I Loved You, More than I loved Myself
Lets let it go
Like ya never knew my name
Like we’re perfect strangers
On a hell-bound train
Love is just a word
So often misused
The more it’s spoken
The less it means to you
I loved you, more than I loved my self
Isn’t it funny
How we lose our self
In somebody else
Where does love go
When it’s gone
When everybody’s right
And nobody’s wrong
There’s no turning back
There’s no hanging on
There’s only this emptiness
Now that our love is gone
I loved you, more than I loved my self
Isn’t it funny
How we lose ourself
In somebody else
Heaven Help Us All
Heaven Help Us All

Intro
Walking on a rainbow, calling to the thunder
With the eyes of a child, wide open with wonder
There’s magic all around us, like a vision from a dream
We’ve fallen from the sky; we’re angels who’ve lost our wings
Verse
Love is an echo, love is a stone
Love’s a mirage, that we’ve all been shown
This life is a dream, life’s a fantasy
Life’s a dying star, over you and me
Bridge
The more things change the more they stay the same
Each generation passing on the blame
You’d think we’d learn, you’d think we’d evolve
Take a look at the news; it ain’t the case at all
Rap
Buddhist, Christian, Muslim, Jew
A thousand roads leading back to you
Listen to your words tell me what they say
Is it for yourself, or others you pray
Cities are on fire, the children are lost
Blind faith nailed, to a plastic cross
Holy wars, freedom, democracy
Deep fried grease and hypocrisy
Show a little love, drop the hate
Forgiveness is the key to heaven’s gate
Chorus
Heaven, heaven help us all
Heaven, won’t you catch me if I fall
Verse II
Hates in the mirror, hates everywhere
It’s in your bible, if you’re looking for it there
Truth is an ocean; it’s burning in the sun
It’s there in your Shadow, that you can’t out run
Bridge
The more things change, the more they stay the same
Each generation passing off the shame
You’d think we’d grow, you’d think we’d evolve
Learn to love one another, that ain’t the case at all
Rap
Chorus
Drip, Drip, Drip
Danced with the devil
Stepped on his tail
Got drunk in a tavern
I found Jesus in jail
Drank enough beer
To piss me an ocean
It’s hard to get lost
If you don’t care where you’re going
Bummed me a smoke
Fired up a light
Now I’m stuck in this tree
Like a tattered old kite
Chased a few rainbows
Searching for a pot of gold
When I was young
I never thought I’d grow old
Times a wad of gum
Stuck on your shoe
You can try to out run it
But it’ll catch up with you
Fates a leaky faucet
It goes Drip Drip Drip
What you deserve
Is usually what you get
One night stands
Well I had me a few
When it comes to love
I bit off more than I could chew
Made some mistakes
but I paid my dues
Smashed my TV
Tired of the same old bad news
You might same I’m crazy
Nutty as a fruitcake
If the fish ain’t bitting
It’s time to change your bait
Chased a few rainbows
Searching for a pot of gold
When I was young
I never thought I’d grow old
Fates a wad of gum
Stuck on your shoe
You can try to out run it
But it’ll catch up with you
Times a leaky faucet
It goes Drip Drip Drip
The good times I’ll remember
Bad ones I’ll forget
All That Ever Is
All That Ever Is
By Victor Uriz
The freeway sounds like the ocean, city lights look like stars
The ole moon singing down at me, to sound of a Spanish guitar
Trash dancing in the wind, my words cold clouds of steam
If I told you how I felt, would you say you still know what I mean
Streets dark and damp, puddles where the rain it fell
If I looked you in the eye, would you say you still know me well
Old friend have they gotten to you yet
Compromise yourself
Mayas what you get
What we become, these things we pretend
Careful what you value
These things become you in the end
All that ever is, ever will be or was, from original sin, to unconditional love
Beneath a crooked smile, I hear a tenor sax sad and low
The nights so lonely, I feel it in the notes he blows
Play it sweet, make it true, Lay it down real sad, brother won’t you make it blue
We can change this world, if we change our minds
Put it down in poem, for the deaf the dumb and for the blind
Old friend, have they gotten to you yet
Sacrifice yourself, Dharma’s what you get
What we become, these things we pretend
Careful what you value
These things become you in the end
All that ever is, ever will be or was, from original sin to unconditional love
Love, the more you give, the more you get
She likes rain at midnight
The sound of wind through the tree’s
A train whistle in the distance
She likes lying in the be next to me
She loves the smell of the ocean
And the sound of breaking waves
We watch the sun go down together
On such a beautiful day
It doesn’t get any better than that
You got my heart baby, I’ve got your back
From sunrise, to sunset
Love, the more you give the more you get
The more you give the more you get
She likes when the leaves change their colors
As the seasons come and go
She picks wildflowers in the spring time
I build her a fire when it snows
Through the years we made a home
All those memories I recall
Through the good times and the bad
Together, we made it through them after all
It doesn’t get any better than that
I got your heart baby, you’ve got your back
From sunrise, to sunset
Love, the more you give the more you get
The more you give the more you get
Grow Up!
I was hoping you’d still remember
End of summer, chill of September
Waking up next to you in the morning
Autumn came early gave us now warning
Lost my job, no money in my pockets
You pawned your ring, five bucks is all it got us
Singing on the streets for tips and change
Playing Free Bird on only five strings
Top Ramen breakfast, lunch and dinner
Decided to go south for the winter
Called home to borrow some cash
Sent it on all cheap wine and a little bit of grass
We needed nothing to believe in
All we owned was our freedom
All we had was one another
Should’ve followed that summer sun for forever
I can still see you standing by the ocean
Smell of the sea and suntan lotion
We watched the sun fall into the sea
Sky turned golden over you and me
Everyday felt like a weekend
We had no plans so we’d always sleep in
Friends said grow up before it’s to late
Get yourself a mortgage and a job you hate
Went surfing, drank ourselves some beer
Caught dinner off the end of the pier
We cooked it up on a big bonfire
Sang Beatle songs and got a little higher
We needed nothing to believe in
All we owned was our freedom
All we had was one another
Should’ve followed that summer sun for forever
You Can’t Kill A Man, When He’s Already Dead
Penueta’s a village in a Mexican Valley
Across the river from the Fedrales
Where the rain does not fall and that land it is dry
And the crops do not grow and the farmers they cry
The Gringos they come with their money and cars
and bargain with peasants while they smoke their cigars
Acedro says someday I’ll swim that big river
And send back the money to my mother and sisters
His father he died when he was still small
The smell of Tequila is all he recalls
When he asked his mother all she said
Is you can’t kill a man when he’s already dead
AAAAAA HHHHH EEEEEEEE
Well, all he took was the shirt on his back
The river was swift and the night it was black
The search lights they turned the land to a stage
Where the actors are strong and the performance is brave
Acedro was caught and put behind bars
The nights they pass slow when you can’t see the stars
Something it broke, deep down inside
The shame he felt he could not hide
When the news found his mother all she said
Is you can’t kill a man when he’s already dead
AAAAAA HHHHH EEEEE
