DAMASCUS
Lyrics by Paul Campbell, Sharlene DeNardo, and Ruth Charbonneau
Music by Paul Campbell and Sharlene DeNardo
Stranger’s hand cuts through the air; to say hello
Felt so good to get away; think you should know
Felt so good… Felt so good, I think I’ll stay
Spoke ill through a bitter tongue
To hide the strings that have come undone
Pass through this never-ending lane
Fragments lost within the brain
Piece apart what my mind creates
A systematic overflow
Push aside my self-defeat
Am I stronger than I know?
Didn’t make much sense (but you knew what you were doing)
Couldn’t help myself (I feel so cold)
Didn’t make much sense
Can’t we drive until the sun goes down
Then back around and never look back
This game’s a tragedy
Expect nothing less than catastrophe
I drive eyes-closed to this illusion
One more mile far from a solution
As the sun beats down
I paint a picture that’s out of bounds
A conflict I tried to alleviate
By running away just to recreate
Didn’t make much sense (but you knew what you were doing)
Couldn’t help myself (I feel so cold)
Didn’t make much sense
Can’t we drive until the sun goes down
Then back around and never look back
Stranger’s hand cuts through the air to say hello
It felt so good to get away; I think you should know
Felt so good… Felt so good, I think I’ll stay
Didn’t make much sense (but you knew what you were doing)
Couldn’t help myself (I feel so cold)
Didn’t make much sense
Can’t we drive until the sun goes down
Then back around and never look back
LOVE LUST
Lyrics by Ruth Charbonneau
Music by Rick Gallego
I play charades in the dark
All I see, when I close my eyes
The angel in this nightmare
Something new by design
Sick with twisted love lust
I’d pull my ribs both aside
If only you could make me feel
My heart’s for you, the pleasure’s mine
Anyway I’d kill just to know you (to feel you, feel you, feel you)
Any chance to crawl inside you
This lust for love breaks through
Everyday I’d kill just to know you (to feel you, feel you, feel you)
This lust for love breaks through
Before I die, I swear I will find you
Now the spell is all over me
Others fake words are all shit
But what is really is for real
And what I’d go through to believe it
Anyway I’d kill just to know you (to feel you, feel you, feel you)
Any chance to crawl inside you
This lust for love breaks through
Everyday I’d kill just to know you (to feel you, feel you, feel you)
This lust for love breaks through
Before I die, I swear I will find you
Can you feel it, can you say it, like you mean it
Can you feel it, can you say it, like you mean it
Can you feel it, can you say it, like you mean it
Baby, I need you, I want you, can you feel me inside of you
Anyway I’d kill just to know you (to feel you, feel you, feel you)
Any chance to crawl inside you
This lust for love breaks through
Everyday I’d kill just to know you (to feel you, feel you, feel you)
This lust for love breaks through
Before I die, I swear I will find you
Nothing Left
Lyrics and Music by Sharlene DeNardo
You’re ruthless, You know you are
You strip the color from my eyes
The truth hurts; and looks could kill
But the gifts you send hold me against my will
I don’t mean no harm, I just can leave you alone
(You keep pushing me down, but I keep holding on)
I don’t mean no harm, I just need you in my arms
(You keep pushing me down, pushing…)
To those soft words, That felt so pure
When reservations of the insecure
Manifested; Over time
Displacing vices that were never mine
I don’t mean no harm, I just can leave you alone
(You keep pushing me down, but I keep holding on)
I don’t mean no harm, I just need you in my arms
(You keep pushing me down, pushing, pushing…)
If you never leave, I’ll have myself to blame
Cause nothing ever stays the same
Regardless of intention, just my air you breathe
Until there’s nothing left for me
Stop this conversation, I have had enough
If you never leave, you’ll take it all
Until there’s nothing left for me
I can love you, But it’s not your way
It’s a deeper feeling than what I portray
Can’t catch up to you; You move too fast
With mixed emotions that my heart can’t grasp
I don’t mean no harm, I just can leave you alone
(You keep pushing me down, but I keep holding on)
I don’t mean no harm, I just need you in my arms
(You keep pushing me down, pushing, pushing…)
If you never leave, I’ll have myself to blame
Cause nothing ever stays the same
Regardless of intention, just my air you breathe
Until there’s nothing left for me
Stop this conversation, I have had enough
If you never leave, you’ll take it all
Until there’s nothing left for me
You take it all, you take it all (x4)
(can’t you see, can’t you see, what you’re doing to me)
If you never leave me, I’ll have myself to blame
Cause nothing ever stays the same
And I’ve been here before
I won’t depend, on, you, any-more
Doesn’t matter what you say; I’m giving up
Doesn’t matter what you want; cause it’s never enough
And if you never leave me, you’ll could take it all
Until there’s nothing left for me
Tasty
Lyrics by Ruth Charbonneau
Music by Sharlene DeNardo
I don’t need, a false sense of security
I enjoy, waking up alone
I don’t want, your pathetic hand to hold
I’ll just give back what I’ve been shown
I still remember what he said to me
But I need a little room to breathe
Try to tempt me till I forget my name
When I close my eyes, it still feels the same
Cause what she did to me
Can I come a little closer please
The way her lips were placed, right below my waist
Could accentuate this brand new taste
I don’t need, your endless company
I enjoy, spending time alone
And I don’t want, emotional stability
Just a touch of pleasure to be shown
Cuz… (Oh) I want her
(Oh) I need him, and (Oh) I think I just want a taste of everything
Cuz (Oh) I see her and
(Oh) I feel him, and (Oh) I think I just want a taste of everything
I don’t need, your constant jealousy
I enjoy, my freedom alone
I don’t want, annoying chivalry
Just a touch of pleasure to be shown
Still remember what she said to me
Place your hands a little lower please
Try to tempt me till I forget my name
When I close my eyes it still feels the same
Cause what he did to me
Watch where you put your hands baby
Try Tempt me till I forget my name
Hmmmm…
Cuz… (Oh) I want her
(Oh) I need him, and (Oh) I think I just want a taste of everything
Cuz (Oh) I see her and
(Oh) I feel him, and (Oh) I think I just want a taste of everything
Sally Strikes Back
Music and Lyrics by Sharlene DeNardo
She’s got these secrets, she tries to conceal
Behind long sleeves and bottles of pills
And she said, who am I to say her wounds won’t heal
When she’s stranded in this world against her will
Try to reach it, but she slipped through my hands
And she fell face-first into a powerful man
He said, come her baby, I’ll keep you warm
I will dull those painful thoughts that cause you harm
She says she’s got everything she needs
She says she’s got everything she needs
Tears of silence, scream out in the night
She yearns for love to fill her appetite
But what he gave her, in time would reveal
What a strong hand sets in ways could make her feel
Tried to reach her but she shut me out
She said, he’s the one she couldn’t live without and
Who am I to try and intervene
For the bruises left are never what they seem
She says she’s got everything she needs
She says she’s got everything she wants
She says she’s got everything she needs
Are you sure that’s it for real?
Break out… of the shadows you fell behind
Don’t you know that love can make you blind
You’re worth so much, than what you claim you’re fighting for
Break out… of these shackles that held you down
Don’t you know I’m going to stand my ground
Until I make you see, I will be here when you need me (need me, need me)
Let it out, don’t tell me you can’t live without
Your dignity is slipping
Find your voice, don’t tell me you don’t have a choice
To feel this great weight lifted
Let it out, don’t tell me you can live without
Your friends you’ve pushed away
Find your voice, don’t tell me you don’t have a choice
What’s the price you’re willing to pay
Break out… of the shadows you fell behind
Don’t you know that love can make you blind
You’re worth so much, than what you claim you’re fighting for
Break out… of these shackles that held you down
Don’t you know I’m going to stand my ground
Until I make you see, I will be here when you need me
