Lyrics
You’ve got your roller coaster ride
You’ve got your business open sign
You’re the ringleader in your show
Inviting me to play a role
*Living your Unexamined life
You can ponder as I ponder mine
Woohoo
I browse into your festival
Our fireworks a spectacle
The higher that I go
Coming down the lower that I feel
You’ve got me dizzy going
Back & forth & up & down
*Living your Unexamined life
You can ponder spinning in a wheel
that’s going round & round & round
Woohoo
This is what it’s like to free
This is what it’s like to be me
This is what it’s like to be
Woohoo
You’re magic in my bag of tricks
You’re spell has me a contortionist
So come aboard & don’t be shy
Just buy your ticket at the door
Includes a lifetime guarantee
(Lyrics by Cherish Alexander / Music by Cherish Alexander, Colin Johnson, Jano Janosik)
Take a pill, Wash it down
Does it sanitize your mind
Strike a match, Burning out
Are you living in another time
Took the blame, Not your fault
Let the grey fade into black
Anyways, no looking back
*Think these pieces of my broken heart are starting to fix
Think these pieces of my broken heart are starting to fix, Starting to fix
You can run or take a walk
On the dark side of the light
Crawl into a little box
Cuz it’s safer on the inside
Dive into a wishing well
Is it heaven is it hell
Anyways, at least it’s not just another lonely saturday night
Nah, nah, nah I’ve never wasted so much time
Stick around yah, Cuz you make me feel alright
(Lyrics by Cherish Alexander / Music by Cherish Alexander, Colin Johnson, Jano Janosik)
From a distance
charging forward with opinions
Armed with hopes & expectations
Wondering eyes who will defend me
You better watch out
Here they come with guns & rifles
Better watch out when they say that their loaded
Don’t care what people say have a right
Don’t care what people say have a mind
*Do you know how it feels
I’ve been looking over my shoulder
Have a feeling someone is behind me
Trying to get me to do what they can’t
You better watch out
Here they come with guns & an eyeful
Better watch out when you see that their loaded
Don’t care what people say have a right
Don’t care what people say have a mind
Don’t care what people say have a life
Don’t care what people say I’ve arrived
*Do you know how to face what you feel
Do you know how to live (love) what is real
Do you know how to live when it’s tough
Do you know we’re ashes to dust
In a Blink Of An Eye, In a Blink Of An Eye
Gone, In a Blink Of An Eye, In a Blink Of An Eye
Gone, in a Blink Of An Eye, Gone, in a Blink Of An Eye
(Lyrics by Cherish Alexander / Music by Cherish Alexander, Colin Johnson, Jano Janosik)
Fold your hand, Aces high, Queen of Hearts, Roll the dice
One last time, Cards are dealt, Chances are, You’ll lose yourself
Never know what you can believe
Never know what you can believe
Only know what I can’t believe
Only know what I can’t believe
*Just Give Up, You’re gonna fail if you try
Just Give Up, Never can do anything right
Never know what you can forgive
Never know what you can forgive
Only know what I can’t forget
Only know what I can’t forget
Years go by, Lost the way, Map is drawn, Across your face
Run away, Into you, Stakes are high, You lovely Fool
*Just Give Up, You’re gonna fail if you try
Just Give Up, Never can do anything right
Release the weight of wondering why, wondering why
Just Give Up, Never can do anything right
Just Give Up, Just Give Up
Only know that I can’t pretend, Only know that I can’t pretend
Always break what I try to mend, Always break what I try to mend
(Lyrics by Cherish Alexander / Music by Cherish Alexander, Colin Johnson, Jano Janosik)
Riding down this one way road
Running out of places to go
I keep looking in the rearview mirror
Flashing lights on my trail
Hunting me with no prevail
I just want things to be so much clearer
The faster I go the more I let go
The faster I go the more I let go
*I’ll never put this car in Reverse
Drive through the places where we got hurt
It’s sunny out in the west
I should be arriving soon
If the rain don’t drown my destination
82 miles to ride
I think I got them off my tail
Yet everyone I’ve seen
They look like just the same old thing to me
I stopped looking in the rearview mirror
*I’ll never put this car in Reverse
Drive through the places where we got hurt
I’ll never put this car in Reverse
No more chances, no more wrong turns
You wanna let go, you wanna let go, ah
And the faster I go, the more I let go
And the faster I go, the more I let go
In the dark, in the light
In the wrong, in the right
(Lyrics by Cherish Alexander / Music by Cherish Alexander, Colin Johnson, Jano Janosik)
It’s just like
Crowded though I’m alone
Lost even when I’m on my way
It’s just like
Awake though I’m asleep
Running late even when I’m here
It’s just like
Detour on a one way road
I won’t know where I am til I get there
Will I get there
I don’t know what I feel
I don’t know what is real
*C’mon, Fake It, Until you make it
Fake It, Fake It, Fake It
It’s just like
The bitter cold
Though I feel it burning
It’s just like
Running standing still
Flying even when I’m grounded
It’s just like
This life is just a game
I won’t know the results
unless I’m winning
Am I losing
(Lyrics by Cherish Alexander / Music by Cherish Alexander, Colin Johnson, Jano Janosik)
Shoot
Complicated
So overrated
Completely jaded
Now I’m liberated
You’ve got your finger on my trigger & I’m gonna shoot
You’ve got your finger on my trigger & I’m gonna
*Bang, Bang, Bang, Bang, You’re a liar & I shot you down
Bang, Bang, Bang, Bang, You’re a liar & I shot you down
Disentegrating
Always waiting
Master-debating
I’m not staying
You’ve got your finger on my trigger & I’m gonna shoot
You’ve got your finger on my trigger & I’m gonna shoot
You’ve got your finger on my trigger
*Bang, Bang, Bang, Bang, You’re a liar & I shot you down
Bang, Bang, Bang, Bang, You won’t survive cuz I shot you down
Bang, Bang, Bang, Bang, Look in my eyes, I’ve got you now
Bang, Bang, Bang, Bang, You’re a liar & I shot you down
Shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot
You’ve got your finger on my trigger & I’m gonna shoot
You’ve got your finger on my trigger & I’m gonna shoot
You’ve got your finger on my trigger & I swear I’m gonna shoot
You’ve got your finger on my trigger
Bang, Bang, Bang, Bang, Look in my eyes
(Lyrics by Cherish Alexander / Music by Cherish Alexander, Colin Johnson, Jano Janosik)
Welcome to your life
Locked in solitude
Never ending fight
Do what you wanna do
Waiting for a Revolution
to release my confusion
Gonna start a revolution
To unlock my delusions
*I don’t wanna die an un-lived life
I just wanna live the time of my life
I need to go to church
To confess my sins
I’ve been a very bad girl
Cuz I just wanna win
Waiting for a Revolution
to unleash my conclusion
Gonna start a revolution
Forgive my hearts pollution
I’m alive, Shine so bright
You’re an extraordinary human
(Lyrics by Cherish Alexander / Music by Cherish Alexander, Colin Johnson, Jano Janosik)
Open up look inside
Show you all my life
So many faces you can’t see
Different sides, part of me
Welcome to this masquerade
Everyone is on parade
Giving everything away
Here is my love, So Flaunt it if you want
Here is my love, Look inside to find me
Take my hand as we explore
So many sides of metaphors
Doesn’t matter who you are
Everyone here plays a part
In the life of my bazaar
(Lyrics by Cherish Alexander / Music by Cherish Alexander, Colin Johnson, Jano Janosik)
Shotgun, middle of the night
Nothing seems to be going right
I swear, someone get me out of here
Face down, middle of the road
Reaching out for another hand to hold
In a city to disappear
I need a, I need a, I need a, I Need A Ride
I need a, I need a, I need a, I Need A Ride
There she goes, heart is on her sleeve
Pick a fight & wonder why you bleed
Leaves you going nowhere
All I ever wanted was to be free
From the thoughts of you and me
And the empty space in between
Ooohhhh, you can’t leave it all behind
Ooohhhh, you can’t leave it all behind
Shotgun, think we’ve go it made
After all, it’s just another day
Baby are you going my way
Flying high, take another trip
Never want to come down off of it
At least we’re going somewhere
(Lyrics by Cherish Alexander / Music by Cherish Alexander, Colin Johnson, Jano Janosik)
Sign is up we are for sale
So many little secrets to tell
It must be your lucky day
We’re giving it all away
The castle was never for real
Living like a queen on a hill
Selling every part of me
Will only buy a piece of you
*Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
The Joke is on me, the Joke is on me, the Joke is on me, Ha ha
Baby you’re just not my type
Never really looked good in white
Fantasies we’re disguised
In your black & blue eyes
You want me to be just like you
I could never fake what you do
If you’re looking for a steal
He’ll give you a real good deal
*Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
The Joke is on you, the Joke is on you, the Joke is on you, Ha ha
*Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
You sit there & laugh but the Joke is on you, the Joke is on you, Ha ha
(Lyrics by Cherish Alexander / Music by Cherish Alexander, Colin Johnson, Jano Janosik)
