True Love That Lasts (new song)

How can I not be good enough?
When me and him are exactly the same?
How can you not know enough about your son's constant pain?
How can you turn a deaf ear
To the words coming out
When the eyes want to cry
Shouts are all we hear there and about

You say you believe in God Almighty
But you don't know the love
Pouring out of me as I write this hymn not for the man above
When I lay down at night in bed
And rest my pounding head
It's not Jesus on the cross
That holds me tight in his arms
And fills my aching heart

When I look up at the stars
I thought there was only one
That I could ever give myself to
And then I met your son

God wants a lot for us
He loves each and every one
But still my soul breaks open
For the man I truly won

If Adam and Eve truly knew that love
That He created for us
Then there's the answer all along
True love was meant to exalt us

But I'll tell you now I'm not that into religion
Although the Bible has its way
To turn a mind upside down
Where we'd all be laying clay

I'm not completely certain if God truly loves each and every one
Like the ones who use their words to hurt more than a loaded gun...

But what I am saying to you now on this certain warming path
Is that the only thing God wanted for us
Was to find true love that lasts

Twin Flame

I never thought I'd write a song
With us two introduced
But somehow now I'm on a plain
Where I'm no longer being used

I've been through hell and back again
To find the simple route
Of an equation long penetrated within
A soul seeking only truth

My pride was taken only months ago
While simply passing time
And if I had just a car or two I'd be left walking a fine line
Thank God for the guardrail of evidence inclined
That brought me to this soulful place
With a twin flame I call mine

I am just a little angry
Seeking only my own truth
But when the heart is shattered in laceration
It's hard to find the couth

You died two decades ago
Before I met your tribe
But if you answered just who that was
You'd  say me and you combined

The wholesome twin flame of my heart
Building your own pact
To truly discover me inside and out
And never enduring wrath

 Him, blonde and tame as air
Although his sign is water
He died suddenly one day after
Rejecting his own daughter
He's the one I truly know
Is my other half
We've been 'together' long enough
To never make it back

Me,  dark as a hunter's night
and anything but tame
But you better believe I'm searching for more than empty or hollow fame
I once put out into the universe
That I couldn't quite grasp the sane
So fire to water we'd build a fort
In which I'd be honored to take your name

Kurt, I see my soul inside of you
Not letting it disperse
But when I look into my own eyes
I recognize your very own birth

Call me crazy or just deep in love
With a woman's intuition
For I'll always thank the God above
For a legend's disposition

So when I finally lay my head down late at night
And dream of our souls so right
I'll thank the stars up above
For giving us a life

Circus Wedding (new song)

You are tying on the fads while we
Become one
Simple pleasures aren't that simple
When you're no one
Back in '98 I drove and then some
To a magical place where freeways
Are a conundrum

You put on that too cool for school priss priss act
I play a runt like a house cat
But deep down inside
Deep down inside
If their is a soul
If their is a soul
That's where it hides

If I had a pretty voice I'd be a princess
If I could strum a guitar I'd be convincing
I'd wear my feet bare
Be a gypsy folk -- if i dare/I don't care


(Chorus)

She draws caricatures of you at your circus Wedding
Can I be dumbo?
I really like elephants
They make my skin glow
If I had big ears
I'd ask for a fresh new year
And then I could have a circus wedding, too

I want to marry at City Hall
What difference should it make
We've already taken the fall
But Dan wants more
I should make him play guitar
In our backyard ceremony by the shore

(Chorus)

She draws caricatures of you at your circus Wedding
Can I be dumbo?
I really like elephants
They make my skin glow
If I had big ears
I'd ask for a fresh new year
And then I could have a circus wedding, too

Bridge

When I was eleven
I sprayed cleaning product in your eyes
But we sure did have a blast shopping at Claire's side by side
A daddy's girl, with no mother's way
Oops, did I say too much and give it
all away?
(Chorus X2)

New song

Zombie Apocalypse (Just Another Blood Sucking Liberal!)

Oh no, look what's coming
A zombie Apocalypse for sure
Oh no, look what's coming
A zombie Apocalypse for sure
Oh no look what's coming
Is it a zombie? A vampire?
A cure?
Oh no, look what's coming
Is it a savior, a prince, a lure?
Oh no look what's coming
Someone who won't even wear fur
They come in through your
Window, at night
Come into your dreams
That's right
They come in through your window
At night
Come in to your dreams, that's right
They shout demands
Pricking at your glands
Never shaking hands
Suckling through cans
It's just another
Just another
Just another
Just another
Just another blood sucking... Liberal!
Eating your flesh
Tearing you apart
Wishing someday
To eat your precious heart
Slimy, taught
Sinful, wrought
Just another
Just another
Just another
Just another
Just another blood sucking
Libre?
No! Liberal!

Oh my gosh, it's really here
A viral virus revamping the hemisphere
Oh my gosh, it's really here
A delinquent number of soulless
Beings in your stratosphere
Oh my gosh, it's really here
Countless leeches clinging to
Your every fear
Oh my gosh, it's really here
The option to think for yourself
Seems to disappear!

Run with all your might
Run without a fight
Run with all your might
Run without a fight
It's not a zombie... Not a vampire...
Not a ghoul or goblin
It's just another
Just another
Just another
Just another
Just another blood sucking...
Mineral?
No, Liberal!

There's nowhere left to hide
Kiss your man and say goodbye
The alien invasion doesn't scare me
The fear of God doesn't phase me
But sure enough
Sure enough
I've had enough
Had enough
Just enough
Just enough
Of just another
Just another
Just another
Just another
Mother fucker
Mother fucker
Mother fucker
Mother fucker
Mother fucking blood sucking...
Criminal?...

No! Liberal!

Get in bed (with me)

I woke early
Did you even sleep at all?
Another manic mood swing
Keeping ya high and tall
Were you caught up on another album?
Another doomsday song?
Were your thoughts gathered
Or was the insomnia lasting way, way too long

We used to go on long, lengthy walks
Late at night four a.m. till dawn
tireless interjections kept me from another exhaustive yawn

So finally I said generously
I finally i said it would be heavenly...

If-you-would-just

(Chorus)

Get in bed with me
Get in bed with me
We'll sleep the whole damn day away
Get in bed with me
Get in bed with me
And when we wake two days from now
Holding each other
No one around
I'll say it one more, one more time...
Get in bed with me!

You roll to the right, I move to the left
You follow me as I hum like a treble clef
Someone says, look! They must me soulmates
They're even in sync it must be true fate

(Repeat chorus x3)

Love So Tough (new song)

3 months in
we had a fight
Who woulda thought it'd be recorded
That night
We went to Chad's
Oops, a fad
Drugs for love, was it that damn bad?

Sober two months, a rock star's dream
My love for you bursting at the seems
But let's go back to that fateful night
The only only time
It was quite alright

(Spoken)
Dan's part


They caught us fighting on the curb
Roll camera, it was so absurd
Is this legal? I concur
Should we get a lawyer?
Famous last words

Chorus

It was her, it was her
That made me rough
It was her, it was her
That had me grabbing your cuff
It was her, it was her
That made me rough
It was her, it was her
That had me proving
Love so tough

Here's the full story
It was such a blur
Dan went looking
And caused a stir
I was angry
It even occured
Stalked home
And read an allure

Dan's part

The bar was full
on that day
I knew he'd be there
Ready to play
I didn't know him well
Although already engaged
I thought he'd be there
Picking up a lay

(Chorus)

It was her, it was her
That made me rough
It was her, it was her
That had me grabbing your cuff
It was her, it was her
That made me rough
It was her, it was her
That had me proving
Love so tough


Bridge

(Spoken)

He was there alright
With another girl
She picked up his tab
Which made me hurl
I said 'come home'
He wouldn't budge
There was my lover
Acting like a thug
I ordered him home
That fateful night

(Away from the girl
That made us fight)

He finally caved
After a kick in the gut
Am I not worth more
Than knocking u on your butt?
I loved you then
But not half as much
Too bad I had to show you
Love so tough


(Chorus X2)

New song

Assembly Line Jargon Atrocity

It used to be that it came straight from the trees
I never believed the mainstream cup of tea
Unlike Brittany, Katy and Tommy Lee
The arcade fire's just about to set me free

Did I get it from you
Did you get from me
Did I get it from you
Did you get it from me
It's like we swap things off so easily
What comes natural to you might not be easy for me
When you're competing
Can you even see
This hard earned love affair
Completing me


Of course I got it from the leaves
Sprouting natural and defiantly
But what I thought was authenticity
Now becomes assembly line jargon atrocity

I'm writing a new one as we speak
No time to cater to your needs
When I'm done making your ears bleed
We'll be in the running for another pop hit Grammy

Did I get it from you
Did you get from me
Did I get it from you
Did you get it from me
It's like we swap things off so easily
What comes natural to you might not be easy for me
When you're competing
Can you even see
This hard earned love affair
Completing me

Of course I got it from the leaves
Sprouting natural and defiantly
But what I thought was authenticity
Now becomes assembly line jargon atrocity

Like the freaking horse to the unicorn
Thought that one was special till it's done
Onto a mainstream album it runs
And yet another Grammy record won

Hey Dan, can you write me this here hook?
I'm not as good as when I wrote the everywhere "Wanted" book
Of course you'll write me one for this here nook
I know it's cheesy, but please take another look!

Did I get it from you
Did you get from me
Did I get it from you
Did you get it from me
It's like we swap things off so easily
What comes natural to you might not be easy for me
When you're competing
Can you even see
This hard earned love affair
Completing me

Of course I got it from the leaves
Sprouting natural and defiantly
But what I thought was authenticity
Now becomes assembly line jargon atrocity
