Hanging On 05:21
Waking up with the girl Stars and moon in her face Hair that falls to the floor Costume diamonds and lace I can’t help what I like There’s no accounting for taste She knows full well that she kept me waiting Kept me right in my place Keep me hanging on You’re my special thing Hanging on your word Hanging always by a string An unobtainable girl Close but always apart I'm always there on the outside Looking in from afar So be with me when you will Share with me what you want I'm living for your amusement While you’re slowly breaking my heart Keep me hanging on You’re my special thing Hanging on your word Hanging always by a string Lyrics by David J Kirk & R. O'Hare May 2017 © copyright, all rights reserved

It's so easy just to lay down in that hole Get buried each and every time you fall Let each shovel load hit you and give up Or drag yourself back through it all and Now, save me from myself (rpt) All the things we love are transient at best They drag you down til there's nothing of you left Everything's a cage I'm dying to get out Make's it easier to burn it down and Now, save me from myself (rpt) Lyrics by David J. Kirk & Ryan O'Hare 2018 ©copyright, all rights reserved

Tell me I'm special Tell me I'm free Want to be unique Want to be 'me' Tell me I'm pretty That's all I need It’s all laid out for you Take what you see Let me be useful Help me believe That I am living for myself So, take all of me Oh I live to please Take every little piece I can satisfy you So validate me Go on validate me I'll give it all for free Oh I live to please Tell me I'm funny Tell me I'm sweet so hardworking So complete Let's share opinions Let's all agree So fascinating Apparently Let me be useful Help me believe That I am living for myself So, take all of me Oh I love to please Take every little piece I can satisfy your needs So validate me Go on validate me Waiting on my knees Oh I live to please I’m on my knees… Lyrics by David J. Kirk, 2016 ©copyright, all rights reserved

Meet My Maker (free) 03:29
I’ve at peace Now let me be still I'm ok with who I am and how I've lived It’s a cage It’s a spinning wheel First you wear it out Then you shed your skin Meet my maker Meet my maker I gave it all You can’t take it with There’s some things I’d do different But I wouldn’t change One thing Not one minute Hold my hand in yours While my heart gives in Meet my maker Meet my maker Now it’s time to justify All the ways I lived my life Tried to find the answers to it all And ended up chasing after A thousand truths a million lies Always tried to find the line Now I close my eyes Lyrics by David J. Kirk, 2016 ©copyright, all rights reserved

Saltwater 07:28
Step into the ocean Beneath a morning sky Think of all that I got wrong Salt burns my eyes Swim to the breakers Feel the cold bite Water slowly rising up But it’s alright Why do I save my skin? I’m ready for the salt water Sink down, my blood my bones A siren’s calling for me I used to struggle To kick and fight for breath Gave it everything I could There’s nearly nothing left The blue light fading out The depths beneath my feet Feel the current pull me down Should I draw it deep? Why do I save my skin? I’m ready for the salt water Sink down, my blood my bones A siren’s calling me home Drink the water deep Lyrics by David J. Kirk & Ryan O’Hare, 2016 ©copyright, all rights reserved
