Unbreakable
Written by Reed Vertelney, Lindy Robbins and Tony Bruno
Like a shadow through the dark
In the loneliness of all I see
I'm walking 'round with half a heart,B
since I lost the better part of me
I can't let go of the past
When every breath just pulls me back
To where we started
I wish I could be with you
And I miss so much about you
And I wish my heart was unbreakable
Oh I wish my heart was unbreakable
Trying to find out who I am
In the memory of you and me
Trying to see things as they are
Not the way I wish that they could be
But for now I'll just pretend
To hold you in my arms again
For one last moment
I wish I could be with you
And I miss so much about you
And I wish my heart was unbreakable
Oh I wish my heart was unbreakable
If you were tonight I'd never let you go
And I would find a way to say the things I never said
And you would finally know
I wish I could be with you
And I miss everything about you
And I wish my heart was unbreakable
Cause love means nothing without you
and my world still turns around you
And I wish my heart was unbreakable
Oh I wish my heart was unbreakable
Unbreakable

Here I Go Again
Written by Michael Duff, Mikal Reid and Orlando Sims
The Sun is shining on and it's a lovely day.
It kind of makes you feel like smiling at everything around you.
I'm at work and I see through my window there's
half-a-million things I'd rather do than what I'm doing
I feel it again, I'm drifting again
The Flowers and trees are calling…
Hey-La, the birds are singing come on, what 'cha thinking
Why you all inside let's have a Holiday
And I say Hey-La, I haven't been in so long - time for dreaming
Come and follow me and I say here, here, here I go again
A gentle breeze is blowing on the sea today
A mermaid sites beside me, dolphins jumping all around us
I hear them banging - no, that's my boss here at my desk
Now I'm back here working wondering how my little story ends
I feel it again, I'm drifting again
The Flowers and trees are calling…
Hey-La, the birds are singing come on, what 'cha thinking
Why you all inside let's have a Holiday
And I say Hey-La, I haven't been in so long - time for dreaming
Come and follow me and I say here, here, here I go again
Oh, Here I Go Again!
The flowers and trees are calling!
Hey-La, the birds are singing come on, what 'cha thinking
Why you all inside let's have a Holiday
And I say Hey-La, I haven't been in so long - time for dreaming
Come and follow me it doesn't have to be far.
And I say Hey-La, come on, why you all inside let's have a Holiday
And I say Hey-La, So long, Come and follow me
and I say here, here, here I go again
Here I Go Again!

When You Run
Written by Michael Duff and Marc Bosserman
You're sitting up all night again
Your world is closing in and it feels like it's the end
And you don't know how much more that you can take
But you know you've seen this place before and it don't break
So you run, and you run, and you run
When you feel that the fight can't be won
As you move along, you'll find your cares and the morning sun
Always catch you when you're done
When you run
You're sitting on your knees again
Praying everything will just up and wash away
And the grass is always greener when it's new
And there's nothing in your lawn but weeds and it won't do
So you run, and you run, and you run
When you feel that the fight can't be won
As you move along, you'll find your cares and the morning sun
Always catch you when you're done
When you run
What's it gonna take - why do we carry on this way
And I wanna believe that you're only restless
But it's always the same and you never wanna take that test - so you run
So you run, and you run, and you run
When you feel that the fight can't be won
As you move along, you'll find your cares and the morning sun
Always catch you when you're done
They catch you when you're done
They always catch you when you're done
When you run

Overcome
Written by Reed Vertelney, Lindy Robins and Jess Cates
In the shadow of a broken dream I was jaded when you came to me
Cutting through the gloom - like a flashlight
And I didn't want to let you in But you find a way under my skin
In the mirror of your eyes
All the madness seems to wash away
like water rushing to the sun - in your arms I'm overcome
Every time you kiss away the grey
a sea of light comes pouring through
just become I'm close to you - Close to you
I'm overcome Overcome
I'm overcome Overcome
Took my ordinary world Turned it like nobody could
that's when you brought me back to my senses
Everything that I went through Is only to give to you
And I would do it all again
All the madness seems to wash away
like water rushing to the sun -
in your arms I'm overcome
Every time you kiss away the grey
a sea of light comes pouring through
just become I'm close to you - Close to you
I'm overcome Overcome
I'm overcome Overcome
And I'm finding it incredible where did you uncover me?
And I'm never going to let you go. Yeah
All the madness seems to wash away
like water rushing to the sun - Yeah
Every time you kiss away the grey
a sea of light comes pouring through
just become I'm close to you - Close to you
I'm overcome Overcome
I'm overcome Overcome

Decadent Wish
Written by Michael Duff, Jud Friedman and Shelly Peiken
Lover, Hungry Lover
we devour each other
I should run for cover
but we keep turning water to wine
Body overcomes the mind
You, You, You back me in a corner with your sugar and lace
With every breathless night there's less and less escape
And you're the ultimate confession here at heaven's gate
And I'll drive and drive 'til I break down
Cause I know you are a decadent wish
A siren's call with a terminal kiss
I'll stumble, fall but I will handle this
Till I crash on the shore I'll be yours
Far from being perfect unions of the spirit
Skating on the surface of something pure and genuine
Dangerous and yet divine
I, I, I tried all my defenses but your grip's too tight
I know I'm going under but it feels so right
And if it's wrong it doesn't matter 'cause I'm satisfied
So I'll drive and drive 'til I break down
Cause I know you are a decadent wish
A siren's call with a terminal kiss
I'll stumble, fall but I will handle this
Till I crash on the shore I'll be yours
'Til I crash on the shore
Couldn't even touch how far we'd go
how deep it cuts how could I know
how very much I'd want to turn you on again
Cause I know you are a decadent wish
A siren's call with a terminal kiss
I'll stumble, fall but I will handle this
Til I crash on the shore I'll be yours
Cause I know you are a decadent wish
A siren's call on the edge of your lips
I'd give it all for another kiss
Till I crash on the shore I'll be yours

Rise
Written by Michael Duff
I will get better at this - seems I lost a lot of myself
I tried to give you what I thought you wanted
And gave you nothing of me
And now we sit in defeat
with the house we thought was our dream
We tore the building down bricks and mortar
and left us nothing but weeds
If we can fly like an angel
If we can run through the sea
Maybe we can start it all over like when we loved
Without enemies
Can We Rise?
And now the silent reprieve
And it's face down, still, in the field
What is the pity of one dead soldier
When all he bled for was greed
If we can fly like an angel
If we can run through the sea
Maybe we can start it all over like when we loved
Without enemies -
Can We Rise? Rise, Rise?
Can We Rise? Rise, Rise?
All the memories that you own
All the nausea and the laughing teardrops
All come back and then it's gone
So we wait for something that we hope will heal us
You don't have to be alone
No man lives alone
If we can fly like an angel
If we can run through the sea
Maybe we can start it all over like when we lived
Without enmity
If we can fly like an angel
If we can run through the sea
Maybe we can start it all over like when we loved
Just you and me
Can We Rise? Rise, Rise?
Can We Rise? Rise, Rise?

The Way It Goes
Written by Michael Duff
Sometimes I feel uneasy
Sometimes my shaking hands are plain enough to see
I feel like I'll get up early
But sometimes other birds will get the worms
so I'll go back to sleep
That ain't all I'm feeling so pour another drink
That ain't all I'm thinking, I think
Oh well, Hey na-na na-na. Hey na-na na-na
Isn't that the way it goes? Well a
Hey na-na na-na. Hey na-na na-na.
Isn't that the way it goes?
Sometimes I feel temptation
Sometimes I feel the glass within a sandy beach
It feels like a dirty movie
'cause sometimes there is pain and thoughts remain
but all that's fucked is me
And that ain't all, I'm beating my heart against the wall
That ain't all, I'll stumble and I'll fall
Oh well, Hey na-na na-na. Hey na-na na-na
Isn't that the way it goes? Well a
Hey na-na na-na. Hey na-na na-na.
Isn't that the way it goes?
And my ears are ringing out
And my teeth are grinding down
The words are in my mouth but nothing comes out
It's the way you laughed at me
Oh well, Hey na-na na-na. Hey na-na na-na
Isn't that the way it goes? Well a
Hey na-na na-na. Hey na-na na-na.
Isn't that the way it goes?
I see you and I'm wanting you
Isn't that the way it goes?
I see you and you're bleeding too
Isn't that the way it goes?

Turn Me Around
Written by Michael Duff and Marti Frederiksen
A lonely winter morning
Her memory still holds on
She left the flowers that I bought her
My ring, I think she left that on
Can't let her go for nothing
My friends want to help but can't
I'm waiting for the phone to ring and
I pick it up, but no one's there
And is there someone to answer my questions
Or anyone to take her place
And is there someone who can…
Turn me around
I need it more than ever now
So turn me around somehow
Scattered empty feeling,
Wondering what I did
I'm hoping for the healing
To give me back what I had then
And is there someone that I can believe in
Or anyone that can replace
And is there someone who can…
Turn me around?
I need it more than ever now
So turn me around somehow
Yeah, 'cause I've tried and I can't go on no more
Turn me around
Turn me around?
I need it more than ever now
So turn me around somehow
Can you turn me around?
I need it more than ever now
So turn me around somehow
Yeah, 'cause I've tried and I can't go on

What Is Real
Written by Michael Duff, Trace Ritter and Jimmy Khoury
If you could have anything you wanted would it be some gold?
Would you keep the words you wished you hadn't said when you were bold?
Would it be Money, Love or better, coming home a winner? Yeah, Yeah.
Would it be Honey, Luck, a Feather? Having been a sinner, a second chance?
What is Real?
When I'm here with my love it's all I really want
It's how I feel -
When I'm here with the ones I love, it's real.
I think of a time when I was younger sitting all alone.
I would sit and wonder what my life would be like on my own.
Would it be lonely, sad or better? Would my cheeks be wetter? Yeah, Yeah.
Would it be running all together, wishing I were dead or magical?
What is Real?
When I'm here with my love it's all I really want
It's how I feel -
When I'm here with the ones I love, it's real.
Pain that you hold when times get tough?
Or the way you feel when you are loved?
Or the bird that whispers in your ear -am I here?
Tell me what is Real?
When I'm here with my love it's all I really want
It's how I feel -
When I'm here with the ones I love, it's real.
What is Real?
When I'm here with my love it's all I really want
It's how I feel -
When I'm here with the ones I love, it's real.

My Lorraine
Written by Michael Duff
Underneath the stars
Shiver as the damp air finds me lying
Next to where you are
or where I saw you last
Thinking of what's not
Feel the moisture finally reach my skin
I look up past the cross
I thought I saw you there
And I wonder where you are
I wonder where you are
All at once you're there and then you're gone
But late at night I swear I hear you say
It's OK, It's OK.
It's OK, my Lorraine.
Aching from my sleep
Hear the singing of the morning birds
I wipe my eyes and weep
I brush the dirt away
And I wonder where you are -
I wonder where you are
All at once you're there and then you're gone
But late at night I swear I hear you say
It's OK, It's OK.
It's OK, It's OK.
I swear it's OK, It's OK
Are you OK? My Lorraine.

Daylight
Written by Michael Duff
Looking out the window she knows
Any minute he will be home
So she shuffles all her dreaming to the back of her mind
And gets ready for the nightmare that comes in after five
I believe that the end will come today
I can not be here with you, I want to go away
I didn't see this coming, or I looked the other way
And now I lay here waiting for the daylight
Gravel under tires she groans
The night begins and once more he shows
That a fist against her body surely keeps her in line
With a passage from the Bible justifying his crime.
I believe that the end will come today
It wouldn't really matter, I'm dying anyway
I wanted to be something, but I never thought this way
Just one of us will be here in the daylight
Not another night of drinking
Another fucking bruise she's thinking
Of what a stronger woman might have done
Would it be so bad to listen
To the wind that lately whispers
Time has come, your time has come
I believe that the end will come today
I will not fade away here and I hate to have to say
I smiled at my reflection as the barrel smoked away
You'll never see the daylight
There's the daylight.
