Lyrics
I’ll wait til tomorrow my love
Every golden heartbeat has become
A bitter, baited, wasted breath, all lies
*And the light & the dark
In the end every spark just fades away
I’ll wait til tomorrow to be free
A broken tethered angel without wings
A fallen, fading, waiting dream
*And the light & the dark
In the end every spark just fades away
Wait til tomorrow more of the same
Wait til tomorrow more of the same
Weighting
Shine a light, shine a light
Weighting
Shine a light, shine a light
(Music & Lyrics by Cherish Alexander, Paul Roessler)
Since you went away
I swear I’m ok pretending how bout you
Romancing a stone as I throw a pebble to make a wish
*Drawing a heart in the sand
Letting the time slip through my fingers
As the waves come wash away
I’m drowning in your oceans of dreams
Empty as a shell
Gasping for breath
I reach to you
Save me from myself
*Drawing a your name in the sand
letting my heart slip through your fingers
As the waves come wash away
Sandcastles wash away, Sandcastles watch em wash away
*Drawing a sun in the sand
letting the stars slip my fingers
As the waves come wash away
(Music by Cherish Alexander, Paul Roessler / Lyrics by Cherish Alexander)
Face down as you hold your breath
And your second guessing every step you fake
And your gone even when I’m by your side
Never wonder if I cried
How I feel you will never know
The real me cuz the tears they won’t show
Look inside when you wanna believe
But you lost your faith on another street
And you try to fight but your walking away
As your contradicting every word you say
Take a stand but you’ve fallen down again
Say goodnight wide awake in him
Sick of me & I’m sick of you too
Should’ve known you never would be true
With a start always comes an end
Oh with the time you’ll realize
If you are meant to be mine
Still couldn’t you’ve been more kind
Real love is so hard to find
I tried so hard to be everything that you wanted me to be
I tried so hard to be everything that you wanted me to be
(Music by Cherish Alexander, Paul Roessler / Lyrics by Cherish Alexander)
Took a ride over the fields
Second time when you release
Many veils touching lips explore
Never underestimate
Decide what you can take
Holding on as you let me soar
Don’t you wanna be someone (Running Away)
Don’t you wanna be someone
Don’t you wanna be someone who can love
Ohhh
*Cover me in stormy weather
Dragons bound forever
Twisted in sheets like rain
You could be the martyr
Or you could be the rider
There’s nothing left to find but Loving
Forbidden in the wake of restless flight
Whisper all the tales you hide
Only guilty pleasures will reside
Ohhh
Don’t you wanna be with someone
Don’t you wanna be with someone
Don’t you wanna be with someone who can love
(Music & Lyrics by Cherish Alexander, Paul Roessler)
Legions of people crowded waiting in line
Windmills calling squalling refugees cry
*What would you find, what would you find
Buried in secrets undiscovered vapors & dreams
(the sparrow falls, the raven calls, our children pay our debt)
What you could be, what you could be
If you believed in something greater then papers & speech
(the sparrow falls, the raven calls, our children pay our debt)
*In the storm, freedom is a mist & a word
Baiting & otherwise dragging the weak down the path
Promises empty solely the ghost of the past
*What you could find, what you could find
Buried in secrets undiscovered vapors & dreams
(the sparrow falls, the raven calls, our children pay our debt)
What you would be, what you would be
If you believed in something greater then papers & speech
(the sparrow falls, the raven calls, our children pay our debt)
(Music & Lyrics by Cherish Alexander, Paul Roessler)
What Is, is
And that has to be enough
I am here loved
I type the words ‘Everything for you’
I think I decided long ago
Everything for you
Do not cry, not for me, not for you
I won’t cry, I won’t suffer anymore
I will be the silent lover of What Is
You needn’t send the keys
Or do any of the fevered things
That I howled at you for all these years
Only be well & happy
I’m here asking nothing
Spreading out into some strange
Eternity where love is all
Pain is our brother & our friend
Love is a gift until it ends
Love is a gift until it ends
Love is a gift until it ends
(Music & Lyrics by Paul Roessler)
Make a vessel of thy peace
Where there is hatred sow me love
Where there is injury pardon
Oh St Francis here
Grant that I may so not seek
To be consoled
As to console
*Where there is doubt please show me faith
When in despair please show me hope
Where there is darkness bring to light
Where there is sadness share the joy
Best to love than to be loved
Best to give than to receive
Best to forgive than be forgiven
It is pardoning
That we all are pardoned
In dying
We are reborn
Amen
(Music by Cherish Alexander, Paul Roessler)
I gave my locket
A talisman from harm
She gave me a dirty needle
And shot me in the arm
I gave my love a flower
For all my faith to feel
He gave me a poisonous snake
Bit me on the heel
*She told me that I was her one true love
Forever we would laugh & sing
I never knew that she was gone
Til I saw her engagement ring
We spoke of how our bond was perfect
That nothing could separate
My love you’ve learned the hardest way
That we are not the same
Some people are full of light
Some live under a star of love
You are more the wastrel type
That lie until their loves bled white
*I told him that I was his one true love
Forever we would laugh & sing
He never knew that I was gone
Til he saw my engagement ring
So tell me where you roam tonight my love
Under the canopy of wedding bells
Wherever you are gone or going
I hope that you will burn in hell
(Music by Cherish Alexander, Lyrics by Paul Roessler)
If I had a world of my own
Everything would be nonsense
Nothing would be quite what it is
Everything would be what it isn’t
If you don’t know where you are going
Any road will take you there
Start at the top & fall til you’ve reached the end
I knew who I was in the morning
But I have changed a few hundred times since then
It’s no use going back to yesterday
Cuz I was different people then
I’m afraid I can’t explain I’m not myself
Start at the top & fall til you’ve reached the end
Followed you down the Rabbit Hole
Followed you down the Rabbit Hole
How puzzling all these changes are
I am never sure who I’m going to be
From one moment to the next
We must run as fast as we can
Just to stay in place
If you wish to go anywhere
Start at the top & fall til you’ve reached the end
(Music & Lyrics by Cherish Alexander, Paul Roessler)
Be here now
Wandering where there is no path
It’s just another way to letting go
Thoughts of you all through my head
Running another race
Symptoms of anything that you can’t erase
*Look at you now going fast forward is rewind
Taking a ride standing still in your Time Machine
So the space helps you fly
Between darkness & light
Yet the stars are beaming for you
*Look at you now turning right what is left behind
Traveling hard & far from what once was mine
Look at you now going fast forward is rewind
Taking a ride standing still in your Time Machine
Look at you now holding a ray of sun
Never knowing what to do whether rain or shine
Ah, ah, ah, oh, oh, oh, oh Fly
Traveling hard & far in my Time Machine
Traveling hard & far in my Time Machine
I will never be the same
(Music by Cherish Alexander, Paul Roessler / Lyrics by Cherish Alexander)
Crazy head full of noises
Why don’t you sit in silence
Morning has broken
Time to greet the darkness
*Look unto the past to see the present so the future will be what it is
The Patterns that you try to change just stay the same until the waiting lifts away
You’re just another template
To cut & piece together
Flowers on the outside
Sadness when you enter
Broken open, all the patterns, fall together
Broken open, all the patterns, fall together
(Music by Cherish Alexander, Paul Roessler / Lyrics by Cherish Alexander)
Midnight confessions
In the temple of confusion
Reverend trust why did you have to lie
Worship the bottle
To fall down on your knees
There’s a church & bar on every corner
*Oh, guardian angels, carry us away
Please don’t forsake me when I pray
All I ever wanted was something to believe in
But you took that away
Scriptures of your love
Stained glass reflections
Wherever you go well there you are
Donate another heart
To nail to your cross
Baptized in hurt you’ll be born again
Lay me down to rise, lay me down to rise
(Music by Cherish Alexander, Paul Roessler / Lyrics by Cherish Alexander)
