Cry Me A River
A puddle of tears
Left to dry
Love did not persevere
With this lie
Cry me a river
You said to me
The real you
I could finally see
A river tears
Left in secret
Surrounded by fears
I could hardly keep it
You walked away
Without a good bye
What could I say
With your lie
An ocean of tears
Left for all to see
It was here
Where you drowned me
Cry me a river
You said to me
It was here our love withered
For all to see
Left to dry
Love did not persevere
With this lie
Cry me a river
You said to me
The real you
I could finally see
A river tears
Left in secret
Surrounded by fears
I could hardly keep it
You walked away
Without a good bye
What could I say
With your lie
An ocean of tears
Left for all to see
It was here
Where you drowned me
Cry me a river
You said to me
It was here our love withered
For all to see

I Am A Wave
I am a wave
Crashing into the beach
Over and over again
Beautiful and graceful from a far
Dangerous and dirty within
The rock face I meet
Once had character
Nice and neat
As I crash into him
Day in and day out
I'm slowly killing him
Without a doubt
I am a wave
Crashing into the beach
Over and over again
Beautiful and graceful from a far
Dangerous and dirty within
I live near the shore
The worst place to be
Screams of terror surround me
All with help from my own hand
Blood now...

Make A Sound
She use to be your friend
You use to like her
Now it's like
You don't even know her
You can't blame her
For doing it all
You broke her heart
Besides, I was involved
If you must
Mess with her
Your going through me first
That's for sure
You won't win
So just back down
I'll fight to the death
To hell youll be bound
So lets stop now
We both know how this will turn out
You'll be crawling away
Without a doubt
It's not that hard
If you just think
She's my sister
So when I haul...

Poker Face
All alone
In the dark
Been Waiting for you
Since the song of the lark
Here I sit
In the cold
Shaking and trembling
Wanting to fold
My poker face
Is breaking apart
They're seeing through
And readying their darts
I thought you said
You wouldn't be late
That this would be
Just like fate
Cheaters cheat
And that's what they do
They see my ace
And my other two
Everything is at stake
Right here and now
I knew that from the moment
I took my bow
They are about to bite...
