STRIKING REMEDY

Take a stand

Remember you can't see a remedy

All my life

I been dancing with an enemy

Strike a note

Listening to a love song

Baby, come here

Murder me with a black rose.

Talking on the phone

My head spinning around

Dancing to the sound

You are a remedy

Give me a crown

I can feel you in me

I had been wondering about you.

This clarity carries me

Take his hands

Remember he is a crazy dream.

Take a stand

Become a witness

Before he murders me silently

I don't care

Gossip in someone'l else's ear.

Stand a trial, turn around

Your heart is an guilty as sin

Pleasures sings again

The jury judges old sins

Sassy girl confesses her life story

This is a tragedy

This is the end

Count to ten

Falling to the ground

Lifeless girl.

Take a stand

We all are dancing like slaves

Pulls the trigger bullet rips through deep spirits

Take a stand

You are a remedy.

BLACK ROUNDS

Wake up stranger

There you are

Knock, knock on the door

Happy faces keep moving on

Beautiful sounds play in our heads

Black rain grows cold

In age as time roll on by

Round and round we go

Tell me now, tell me now

How do you feel inside?

In September we remember dancehalls entertained us all

The ruler of his kingdom

Queen Mary meets sparkling, silver things

Future fantasies come alive again

Driving crazy down the lane

Not caught up in somebody's love affair.

Queen Mary live in a sassy dreams

Swinging down a flowing stream

Who is the ruler

Queen Mary

Live out an odd fantasy

Wake up stranger!

Can i be yours truly

When are you coming home

Presence deserves to say

Below a deep surface

Written signature dives on a notepad

Humble boy calm down

Corner stone way back there

Knock, knock on the door

Memories do you still live here

Queen Mary

Can i have this last dance

With you?

Ballroom cherishing memories of you

Pardon me my dream

Did i stay true to all my dreams?

We danced time away

Watch me bow for you in grace

Queen Mary the great.

DROWNING SPIRIT

Before you dtown below

In the deep water

Take my hand

You know I could save you

For the life of me

I am so confused

Invisible spirit keeps on calling from the past.

Through the invisible hourglass

Images flashes so fast

My eyes open so wide

I tried to channel my emotions

Sailing away in silence

Lost and found state of mind

Your heart is brave

In ten seconds

Take one last breath under water

Swallow all common doubts

Living life at the edge

Tell me my past mistakes

Jump and dive friendly

Dolphins start to glide

Test and drive in disguise

Overlooked loneliness.
