On The Inside – EP (2015)
On The Inside
Be Me
If It’s Love
One Way
Sweet Release
On The Inside
We’re living in a fairy tale
Treated like you’re supposed to know
Morals overlooked somehow
Blinded by the picture show
So you set out to cut the track
Because you don’t want to run around
Drawing eyes to painted ceilings
Never bother looking down
And now my heart is yearning
And I am wanting more
I know the truth is waiting
All behind closed doors
On the inside
Keep a light on when I’m feeling lonely
On the inside
Maybe one day with my one and only
People play their numbers game
Gathering up those points and wins
More or less an execution
Wasting life on pointless sins
And now my heart is yearning
And I am wanting more
I know the truth is waiting
All behind closed doors
On the inside
Keep a light on when I’m feeling lonely
On the inside
Maybe one day with my one and only
Be Me
Destination is all the same
While we choose our path, our fight, our pain
Well it’s never really clear
How we should lead it
So we float along in our social boats
Beneath our layers and overcoats
Afraid of making waves
Or trying to feel it
Let me see
Me as me
A world of words that cloud the air
Who’s here to love, who really cares?
If I spelled it out myself
Who then would read it?
When we’re bound by lines unlike before
Yet so far removed from what’s next door
Well if we’re standing face to face
We can’t delete it
Let me be
Let me be me
Head as high as always
Hand over your heart
Steady through the movement
Tear this world apart
Let me be me
Head as high as always
Hand over your heart
If It’s Love
Seconds pound like dynamite
I am smiling
Hidden below this overbite
Hope that hearts can fuse
If it’s love
Let your love lay down on me
Frozen like a photograph
I am smiling
Focused right on what is left
Waiting on exposure
If it’s love
Let your love lay down on me
Wind feels like a hurricane
I am smiling
And my eyes are dry as rain
Oh how blown my mind is
If it’s love
Let your love lay down on me
One Way
You’re restless
Waiting for my call
Left you breathless
Inside of your walls
Not a late night story
Not nearly at all
You listen for me
I’m coming down your hall
I’m wondering
Am I dreaming?
I’m thinking
Never felt like this before
I’m hoping
You’re willing
To meet in the same place
There’s only
One way, one way, one way
One way leading back to you
From a distance
You will make the call
Frozen in an instant
Bracing for the fall
I’m wondering
Am I dreaming?
I’m thinking
Never felt like this before
I’m hoping
You’re willing
To meet in the same place
There’s only
One way, one way, one way
One way leading back to you
Sweet Release
You are first in our last stand
I came home to be your man
Looked at me through a haze
Eyes that have seen better days
Feel the weight coming down, down, down
Nothing left to carry now
Times at night I hold your hand
Whisper words so you understand
All the answers you are looking for
Only one knocking at your door
Feel the weight coming down, down, down
Nothing left to carry now
Just your sweet release
Your sweet release
Letting go of all that’s you
Instead of holding on just to fight the truth
Gather around to watch you go
Static silence like we’ll never know
Feel the weight coming down, down, down
Nothing left to carry now
Just your sweet release
Your sweet release
We kicked back and relaxed to your sounds tonight! We like them all, and Janice esp. likes “If it’s love” and “sweet release”….. Thank you for sharing with us! Next, you’ll probably come up with some “Tunes for Baby”
Hey, maybe they should be called “Tuni Tunes for Baby” (if they are written while you are still in Tuni! Ha….)
Thank you for listening, and I like the idea of writing tunes for our baby. Not likely that they will be ‘Tuni Tunes’, though, as we are so close to departure. There will be no starting of new projects for a while, as we have enough going on right now. Glad that I was able to get this EP out!
