HEART ON A SHELF

Lyrics by Sharlene DeNardo and Ruth Charbonneau
Music by Robert Dumont and Sharlene DeNardo

Caught up in the selfish games we play
Propositions leading me to stray
You know you like it
When I’m on my knees
i can’t control it
I’m just a martyr in need
Don’t second guess it
And make it harder on me
You said its nothing nothing nothing
Keep it coming coming

You’re like a dream
if you want me to believe
Is this for real?
or is nothing what it seems
It’s a simple release
Put your heart on a shelf
And don’t feel sorry for yourself
Look what you’ve done…. To me……. To me!

Tied up in the dirty things we say
Build it slowly till I look away
You know I like it
When you make me scream
I can’t control it
I’ll be whatever you need
Don’t second guess it
And make it harder on me
You said its nothing nothing nothing
Keep it coming coming

READY OR NOT

Lyrics by Sharlene DeNardo and Ruth Charbonneau
Music by Sharlene DeNardo

Can you hear me
Cause I’m running through your head like a freight train
Can you see me
I’m appearing in the dreams that you restrain
Do you fear me
Cuz I’m scratching at the surface only inches away
Did you miss me
I’m coming and I will never stop

Fueled by your hate and the anger you taste
Hoping for more but you chose to waste

Are you ready or not (Cause here I come)
Now I’m calling all the shots (Take your place now)
Can you hear the sound of your time running out
Are you ready or not (Cause here I come)
Now I’m calling all the shots (Take Your place now
Can you hear the sound of your time running out

Can you hear me
I’m screaming in your face but you just look away
Can you see me
You’re peering through the cracks of your own shame
Do you fear me.
I’m toying with the fate of your own game
Do you miss me
Cuz I’m coming and I will never stop

Fueled by your hate and the anger you taste
Hoping for more but you chose to waste

Are you ready or not
Are you ready or not
Are you ready or not
Cuz I’m coming and I will never stop

Inside of Me

Lyrics by Sharlene DeNardo and Ruth Charbonneau
Music by Sharlene DeNardo and Robert Dumont

Don’t want to open my eyes
lying naked
on your table
They said that I’ll be alright
Just keep breathing
if I’m able
This place is built on a lie
A wolf in sheep’s disguise
Tearing me apart
I think I’m paralyzed (up)
Hands around my throat
Squeezing till I choke
Feeding on my pride
now there’s nowhere to hide
All the wounds deep inside of me
I could cease to exist
hope is endless
and relentless
So if I choose to resist
I’ll need substance
To distract me from myself
For when it comes again
Deep beneath my skin
The options they prescribe
Won’t ease the suffering

with hands around my throat
squeezing till I choke
all that’s good has died
and there’s nowhere to hide
from all the wounds deep inside of me
So why can’t I heal
All the wounds..
Deep inside of me!
I don’t need your opinions
They’re all grand illusions
false conclusions
how much more can I take
I don’t need your affection
it’s not your intention
protect me from
the choices I need to face

” so why cant they find a cure….
I need something more…..
So what are you waiting for …..
Show me who you really are….
DEEP INSIDE OF ME….
I told you to go….
YOU’RE NOT TAKING ME!
and if it’s hell you bring and it’s closing in,
I will fight to live and come back strong..
And I’ll heal… all the wounds…. Deep inside of me!

Lying to Yourself

Lyrics by Sharlene DeNardo and Ruth Charbonneau
Music by Sharlene DeNardo and Robert Dumont

Can’t forget  When you said  You would give it all up for me
Up for me…honey
You confuse, who you use  for a moment of ecstasy
And say its all you need

Shoulda coulda woulda  But you didn’t so I did it
Set the scene just like a web  And now we’re tangled in it
So don’t pretend  That we’re friends  If you want something more from me.
more from me….honey

Oooooo
Don’t wanna talk about it
Oooooo
Your such a hypocrite
Oooooo
I’ll let you think about it
Ooooooo

You’re only lying to yourself…. Yeah
Tell me things aren’t gonna change
Cuz the words are easy to believe in
You’re only lying to yourself…. Yeah
Make up your mind if you want to stay
Cuz this body may be close to leaving

Your the man, use those hands, and I’ll give it all up for you
up for you… honey
Let’s not excuse, how we choose, to play out our fantasies
i like it when you come for me

Shoulda coulda woulda But you didn’t so I did it
Set the scene between the sheets and now we’re rolling in it
Don’t pretend that we’re friends, if you want something more from me
more from me…. honey

Oooooo
Don’t wanna talk about it
Oooooo
you fucking hypocrite
Oooooo
I’ll let you think about it
Oooooo

I know I got some things you can’t replace
Your body yearns for thoughts you can’t erase
So I don’t wanna hear your lines
put away your alibis
I don’t need to question why…You’re here…With me
If this is where I wanna be

What It Takes

Lyrics by Sharlene DeNardo and Ruth Charbonneau
Music by Sharlene DeNardo

If I trust myself
Then there’s nothing that you could say
To make me beg for help
This cross I bare can’t hold your weight

If I draw the line
I could cut off the noose and the guilt you produce
So I’d compromise
maybe you (maybe you) need to step aside and go

It’s been a long time coming and you’re walking away
(but you know) we all have a price to pay

If that’s what it takes
To keep pushing on when your raising the stakes
Then I’ll fight until I’m free
If that’s what it takes
To keep pushing on when your raising the stakes
Try to get a hold of me, but it’s too late

You’ve had your chance
Choosing sides like a game, Cause there’s no one to blame
Can’t hide your intent
No you can’t beg me to believe

I won’t stop till I get it right
I won’t run cause I learned it all from you
Vengeance seeked, although in spite
Doesn’t matter what you do, I’ll claw my way back through

It’s been a long time coming and you’re walking away
(but you know) we all have a price to pay

Chorus:
If that’s what it takes
To keep pushing on when your raising the stakes
Then I’ll fight until I’m free
If that’s what it takes
To keep pushing on when your raising the stakes
Try to get a hold of me, but it’s too late
