How 03:10
How could you be so bad How could you be so bad What did you expect to gain Causin' me this kinda pain How could you be so bad How could you be so cold How could you be so cold What's it take to make you feel Have you got a heart of steel How could you be so cold What am I supposed to do I wanna know why you had to hurt me so Now you say our love is through I say that's okay, it was over anyway How could you be so mean How could you be so mean Every time I come around All you do is put me down How could you be so mean How could you be so hard How could you be so hard I did all a guy could do Guess it's not enough for you How could you be so hard Why oh why should I cry Should I be blue over you What am I supposed to do I wanna know why you had to hurt me so Now you say our love is through I say that's okay, it was over anyway How could you be so bad ©2008 Beaternity Records

Shotgun don’t go killin’ Shovel don’t dig no grave ‘Til a man get to thinkin’ How his woman misbehave Judge don’t need no jury Sheriff don’t need no jail And a man don’t need to worry ‘Til his woman make him wail Shovel don’t dig no grave Rope ain’t on no gallows Preacher don’t read no rites ‘Til a man start to wondrin’ Where his woman spend her nights Shovel don’t dig no grave Worm don’t eat no body Devil don’t take no soul ‘Til a man’s cheatin’ woman Make him lose all self-control Shovel don’t dig no grave ©2008 Beaternity Records

Big Mistake 02:06
Everything I do seems to slap your face Every word I say puts you in your place There’s a look in your eye for every move I make Did you ever think you made a big mistake loving me Tell me why do I act this way Make you cry every day All my lies are too hard to take Did you ever think you made a big mistake loving me You made a big mistake ©2008 Beaternity Records

Firefly 04:45
To this night I’ve been tied too long While your pain hid before my eyes And I was unaware anywhere you were Now I find in my mind alone How your words echo out of tune And you could break my world if you wanted to Tangled in a memory Would you be surprised to see How a thousand fireflies Fill the sky for a moment So I bleed since you wounded me Every vein pounds a silent cry And I can feel the ghost peeling from my bones Tangled in a memory Would you be surprised to see How a thousand fireflies Fill the sky for a moment And I don’t know why I never cry for you Somewhere inside I nearly died for you To this night I’ve been tied too long While your words echo out of tune And you could heal my wounds if you only knew Tangled in a memory Would you be surprised to see How a thousand fireflies Fill the sky for a moment Tangled in a memory Don’t say you’re surprised to see How a single firefly Destroyed my mind in a moment And I don’t know why I never cry for you Somewhere inside I nearly died for you ©2008 Beaternity Records

I Woke Up 03:54
Too late too late I finally figured it out I saw tomorrow vanish into the night And now I see I need to pay the cost of pain I caused Too late too late I finally figured it out I woke up to the sound of a door slamming shut I waited I waited for the time to be right I waited I waited nearly all of my life And when my moment came it caught me in a dream again I may be waiting for the rest of my life I woke up to the sound of a door slamming shut Now I know I lost my only chance Now I know I threw it all away I woke up to the sound of a door slamming shut ©2008 Beaternity Records

Slo-Mo 05:20
Deep in my recliner's Overstuffed embrace Part of the upholstery Like I'm stitched in place I ignore your questions You avoid my eyes We wear our affection Like a bad disguise Oh no moving in slo-mo Stuck in love's still waters No breeze strikes our sails Dreams can sink in sorrow When a romance fails Oh no moving in slo-mo Seal us up in plastic Set us on display Under the inscription Lovers Gone Astray Oh no moving in slo-mo ©2008 Beaternity Records

All Alone 04:11
The wind blows rain across the evening highway Thunder clouds grow darker by the mile Hardly any traffic is going my way I haven’t seen a soul for quite a while Guess I’m all alone and I’m feeling low Got a home somewhere somewhere A painted yellow ribbon running through the mountains A sign or two announcing narrow curves These the only traces of a fellow human No waving hand no smile no spoken word Yes I’m all alone and I’m feeling low Got a home somewhere somewhere Feel like I’ve been on the road forever Feel like I may never make it home Seems as if there’s still an endless way to go Before I find myself a place to stay Now my only friend is this old radio And I listen as the station fades away Leavin’ me all alone and I’m feeling low Got a home somewhere somewhere ©2008 Beaternity Records

Why Would Ya 02:32
Why would ya even wanna Why would ya even care Why would ya even wanna Don’t even go there Get out of my face Mind your own business I’ll put you in your place In a matter of minutes You been pokin’ your nose Where it don’t belong If that’s the way it goes Then the gloves are gone Why would ya even wanna Why would ya even care Why would ya even wanna Don’t even go there You got somethin to say Well keep it to yourself Because the way I play Is a hazard to health Why would ya even wanna Why would ya even care Why would ya even wanna Don’t even go there You’re steppin on my toes And you got some bad breath You think you’re smellin like a rose Instead you stink of death Why would ya even wanna Why would ya even care Why would ya even wanna Don’t even go there ©2008 Beaternity Records

Like a switchblade stabbing through my tender skin Thoughts of love are lethal when I let ‘em in Though I close my mind to try to shut ‘em out They can pierce my armor and I want to shout We could be good I'm a grown man I should show more self-control But these feelings shake me to my very soul Like a drug injected in an artery Yeh your love's affected every part of me We could be good You make me moan you make me mutter You make me shout you make me shudder I shudder Am I dreaming have I lost my sanity Is this how perception is supposed to be If I can't compel myself to concentrate Surely my willpower will evaporate We could be good ©2008 Beaternity Records

Were you burning deep inside your murky mind Did your search for meaning make you deaf and blind Who was hidden there behind your frozen face Were the demons dancing in a darker place I didn’t know you never told me you should have said something Guess I should have guessed I might have realized Yes I should have seen the panic in your eyes Now I might have known if I had taken time Paid attention to your temper more than mine I didn’t know you never told me you should have said something Hey yeh I didn’t know I didn’t know If I had an opportunity to change Could the pieces of the puzzle be arranged If I had a true solution in my hand Would it ever really matter in the end I didn’t know you never told me you should have said something © 2008 Beaternity Records

My love is a glowing coal And I keep it deep inside In the center of my soul My love has a hollow core And no matter what you give I’ll be begging you for more How am I gonna cover my eyes How am I gonna smother my cries I don’t want no sorrow anymore My love is a broken blade Only in the heat of hell Will the metal be remade How am I gonna cover my eyes How am I gonna smother my cries I don’t want no sorrow anymore ©2008 Beaternity Records

Yeah Right 03:48
Maybe if we lay our hands on the water We can calm the waves Maybe if we nail our nightmares together We can build a dream Yeah right Maybe if we fire our guns at the mirror Evil will be killed Yeah right Maybe if we raise our voices to heaven We’ll be heard in hell Yeah right ©2008 Beaternity Records

Deeper 04:14
How do you do the things you do I feel a fire when I'm with you I hope that you can feel it too I had a chance to love today I let my fear get in the way But still I feel I have to say My love goes deeper When I'm alone I think of you I think of all the things you do I think of love so pure so true My love goes deeper © 2008 Beaternity Records
