Hard Bargain 03:15
Get to the heart of the matter And rattle these chains till they clatter I wanted two but I ended with none Over before it's begun You know that she can't hold a candle to you Still I don't know what to do You drive a hard bargain I understand If you don't win then you lose You drive a hard bargain Come shake my hand Pleasure doing business with you You tried to give me some space Now I'm caught between a rock and your place I could have one but I'd rather have two By the look in your eye so would you Between these two worlds I am torn So I'm grabbing the bull by the horns CHORUS Whatever you want I will give it to you Take everything that I own Losing it all doesn't matter at all Better than being alone Trying to take back control Shaking the dust off my soul You drive a hard bargain I'm driving too fast Just got a little too high Is this business or pleasure I'll never know This time the pleasure's all mine You drive a hard bargain I am your man Together we'll see this thing through You drive a hard bargain Come shake my hand Always a pleasure doing business with you

One Night at a Time (ft. Brooke Lachance, Peter Richard, & Late Night Selfie) Standing at the station, on the edge of ruination But a little bit of patience will get me by Can't stand the way you treat me – but I don't want you to leave me Finally seeing clearly – you've left me blind I was crying like a baby It's gonna drive me crazy - But I'll get by - with a little bit of space and time I don't mind – making my own way through life I won't lie – it won't be easy But one night at a time - I'll get by... Standing at the station like the lord of all creation But that's just my imagination running away with me You tell me that you love me – then act like you're above me Spending all my money – and leaving me in misery You've got me crying like a baby But it's got me thinking maybe - That I'll get by - with a little bit of space and time I don't mind – making my own way through this life I won't lie – it ain't gonna be easy One night at a time - I'll be fine One night at a time One night at a time You know that I'll get by one night at a time One night at a time – I'll be making my own way through life One night at a time with a little bit of space and time One night at a time you know that I'll be fine

The Devil In You Judas Priest, you're a sexy beast You look your best in black So sweet Im on the edge of my seat To make the beast with two backs Heaven's loss is my gain Never knew pleasure could be such pain You've got the Devil In You You know that it's true You got the Devil In You Burning like fire You got the Devil In You So give the devil his due We ain't got time for foolin around We ain't got time to get it straight We gonna burn this mother down You've laid it down, you've sealed your fate You got the Devil in you Im coming in to my own, bad to the bone It's all up to you Jezebel see you in hell When all this is through Wild child with a evil mind Don't need to tell me why you won't be mine You got love that cuts like a razor At long last I've found my savior

Whirlwind 04:56
Storm chaser wake of the flood No one is saving you from the whirlwind Head start won't be enough No way you can outrun the whirlwind Whirlwind -  nature of the storm Come in the fire is warm Whirlwind- catch the breeze and fly Storm chaser give up the chase No way you're ready to face the whirlwind You're in the fight of your life Only the strong will survive the whirlwind Whirlwind -  nature of the storm Come in the fire is warm Whirlwind- catch the breeze and fly What will be will be, what is what is God laughs at your plans, Just don't laugh at His Storm chaser chasing your tail Grab hold ready to sail the whirlwind  Whirlwind -  nature of the storm Come in the fire is warm Whirlwind- catch the breeze and fly

The Burned 05:29
You told me it was over But I couldn't hear a word you said Probably makes all the difference Between the quick and from the dead Can you hear me are you listening Or are you thinking of the words to say It was colder not to answer I closed my eyes and turned away Am I the joker or the joke The tinder or the smoke I just never took the time to learn I thought I was the fire But I was the burned I was the burned You told me you were sorry It's not you it's me Doesn't make a bit of difference Only you can set you free Help me I am drowning standing on dry land A house with no foundation, a castle built from sand Am I young or am I old Am I bought or am I sold Will I ever learn? I thought I could hold fire in my hand But I just end up burned You told me you were leaving I was all in your head Doesn't make a bit of difference To the quick or to the dead Can you hear me I am screaming At the bottom of a deep dark hole I am fighting off the demons Fighting for my soul Am I dead or am I dreaming Nothings as it seems and I am Waiting on your safe return I thought I was the fire But I was the burned I was the burned

The birds they always sing too soon the sunlight shows no mercy on my eyes Comes the Morning I'm so frightened of the break of day, more than the monsters that I hide from in my bed at night - til the morning The day breaks free and I'm staring easterly Meridian of yellow fades to blue I am fading too Comes the morning A world of expectation waiting for your first mistake All your worries they'll still be there tomorrow holding you responsible Come the morning The day turns night -it's such a pretty sight The clouds trading places with the stars the changing of the guard Comes the morning We were one and now I'm no one The sun rises far too soon Without a warning I wish that I could sleep until you're back with me again One bright morning Comes the morning You're not there Comes the morning You're not there Wish I could reignite this love affair Set fire to the sun so the morning never comes Comes the morning

All that I want is you I want you more than I ever knew All that I need is you That look in your eyes All that I want is you Dancing like nobody is in the room All that I need is you Look in my eyes
10.
Somebody, somebody Somebody pray for me Somebody, somebody Somebody pray for me I was standing by the doorway Waiting to be let in They said boy when somebody lights your candle Hold your hand and shield it from the wind People can you hear me I am crying and my tears could fill the sea My heart is broken but its still beating Somebody pray for me I was standing by the doorway With a dollar in my hand They said boy you don't need a dollar All you need is to be a good man People can you hear me I am crying and my tears fall like rain My heart is broken but its still beating Won't you ease my troubles and my pain? I was found but now I'm lost And my soul is tempest-tossed Somebody pray for me Now Im wandering in the darkness Somebody pray for me
