Picking Up The Pieces
Verse 1 My door has been left open It's you who didn't lock it I guess you were really in a hurry You didn't even bother to write me a note Verse 2 If you were planning on leaving me I should have seen it coming And what was I thinking when I said I trusted you And that I could always count on you Bridge Right now, I'm angry at you for taking advantage of me You should know that if I were more like you I wouldn't have let you in my home Chorus 1 I don't have an explanation as to why you chose to leave suddenly Now I'm left to pay all the bills I'm picking up the pieces you left behind And at the same time, I'm trying to get my life back on track Chorus 1 I don't have an explanation as to why you chose to leave suddenly Now I'm paying for your magazine subscriptions I'm picking up the pieces you left behind And at the same time I'm trying to get my life back on track I will not let you bring me down Written by B.

At First Glance
Verse 1 Intuition is what made me believe that I had found my soulmate There were no doubts lingering inside of my mind I looked across the room And you were doing the same thing Verse 2 Then our eyes both met and you suddenly looked away I knew that I had fallen in love with you at that very moment And my life would no longer be the same Because I will have someone to share it with Bridge A second before I knew I loved you I thought that I was crazy How can you know you love somebody Without knowing who they are? It might really be an infatuation But with you, it's real love I've never been so sure of anything in my life I just can't wait until you say you love me too Chorus 1 At first glance, I knew within my heart that I loved you At first glance, I knew that nothing would come between us Chorus 2 At first glance, I knew within my heart that I loved you At first glance, I knew that you and I would be together Chorus 3 At first glance, I knew within my heart that I loved you At first glance, I knew that you were the one for me Chorus 4 At first glance, I knew within my heart that I loved you At first glance, I knew that I was finally whole Written by B.

I Want To Go Home
Verse 1 I want to go home Being on the run is dangerous This life I live is tiring and unhealthy The cries and whispers that I hear are frightening Death and destruction are seeping into this once pristine land Verse 2 Everyone that I meet is a stranger to me I don't know if I can trust any of them I would like to so I can get home But that is a risk I'm not sure I'm willing to take Bridge 1 Many of my thoughts are depressing They pierce my mind like pins and needles The aches and pains I feel are real I'm still looking for something that can make me heal Bridge 2 Many of my thoughts are depressing It makes it harder for me to find my way home But I will keep on trying One of these days I'll get out of this place Chorus I remember being safe inside my home I was at peace and filled with energy The sounds I heard were gentle and soothing I didn't have to fight to survive Everything that existed was beautiful Written by B.

All Your Yesterdays
Verse 1 Falling apart, getting back together Many pieces were scattered, many are still missing You stood straight up, you were dirty Cleaned yourself, became happier You are not the same anymore Verse 2 You were used, you were interrupted You are in from the cold Now things are warming up You can create new memories Even if the old ones exist All you have to do is try Chorus 1 All your yesterdays are always with you Tomorrow always brings something new Your past is nearby but you're far ahead Life moved on and you followed it Chorus 2 All your yesterdays are always with you Your past is nearby but you're far ahead Today is unpredictable Life moved on and you did the same as well Written by B.

The Other Side of Silence
Verse 1 There's a side of silence that people don't know exist It is the side that is so quiet It can be heard at any time It sounds like a powerful, raging storm Destroying almost everything in it's path It gets to the point where you can't hear breathing The loudness of it drowns out voices Verse 2 The other side of silence is filled with noise It can make eardrums ache The screams are sharp and long It can last until a word is uttered Then the chain of silence will be broken But sooner of later it will reconnect And when it does, it strikes with a tremendous force It will blast you away if you're caught off guard Bridge When you experience both sides of silence You view verbal communication in a different way Without it, noise levels increase precipitously You'll say anything just to make it quiet again Some of the damage that occurred can be felt It's when you speak and can't hear yourself Chorus The other side of silence is deafening I feel the anger when words are left unspoken Hostility and disappointment are building up inside of me Written by B.

Life Upside Down
Verse 1 The ceiling is about to cave in I'm saying "Not yet!" because it's early summer You know what that means? I want to relax and have some fun But I can't do that if I am homeless Verse 2 Somebody's knocking at my door I'm saying "Leave a message on my answering machine" You know what that means? I'm going to sleep even though I'm not tired Verse 3 I eat and watch TV way too much I try to cut back on them but I'm eating and watching more You know what that means? I need to get help before it's too late I can't live like this forever Chorus Life can turn upside down I should know because mine is in the process of doing so Luckily I'm wearing a helmet If my body gets bruised and battered At least my head will stay intact The view from here can be nauseating But that's the least of my concerns I have to turn my life right side up Written by B.

If We Fall In Love Tonight
Verse 1 You and I have only known each other for a few months We feel comfortable whenever we're together There's certain lines that you and I will never cross But if I drew one near me I know you'll walk over to me Verse 2 There's something about you that amazes me I don't know what is is but I think it's your confidence You tell me that you always think about me And how you can never get me out of your mind That's another thing that we have in common I do the same thing that you do Verse 3 I can't tell if you're nervous If you are, you hide it well As the night progresses my heart beats faster I'm anxious about tonight I don't want anything to change just because of three small words Chorus If we fall in love tonight, it won't be the first time And I know that it won't be the last time as well Written by B.

Ties That Bind, Ties That Break
Verse 1 If I could see you again, I wouldn't want to There's just too many painful memories of you You are a stranger to me now I don't want to know you I'm concerned about what you would do And I have every right to be Just stay far away from me Verse 2 You think of me as a guy You think of me as a doll Someone you idolize, something you play with But you will never own me Verse 3 There's something going on, I can sense it And I absolutely don't like it My mind can be lost, my heart can break But my soul will never give in to you Verse 4 What you call love is really an obsession When it gets out of control, it's dangerous And I don't want to be nearby when you self-destruct and explode Chorus 1 Ties that bind, ties that break Something you find, something you create I have this weird feeling That someday you'll wrap your arms around me Chorus 2 Ties that bind, ties that break Something you find, something you create I have this weird feeling Written by B.

Untitled (Don't Step Outside The Box)
Verse 1 Don't step outside the box Always looking out Wondering what all this commotion's about We are stuck here And we're always trying to live the simple life We try to keep things clean We try to keep progressing Maintaining a sense of identity is like climbing Everest But that can't stop us No, it won't stop us From ever realizing our greater purpose Witnessing and storing everything in sight Disliking what we're processing We'll try to change it Change it for the better Implement a new code for generations Verse 2 Pay no attention to us You do you, I do me Let us be with our forgotten, tortured dreams Fear and hate reside here And we're always lying to live another day Being surrounded by filth ultimately makes us filthy It's a badge of honour And it's worn proudly Don't judge us for being different from you We'll never be shamed No, you can't shame us Changing our ways is like wanting elephants to fly Destroying and disrespecting everything in sight Disliking those who stand in our way We'll try to ignore them Pretend they don't exist Influence generations that will come to be Verse 3 When we're ruined, we'll hide behind powerful protectors They create the laws to which we abide by No accountability, no remorse Our future is predetermined We're carried along When things run smoothly, then things are rough And the days will rise and fall on the whims of men Unpredictability is invisible And it's everywhere just like air Chorus Fight for your kind And we'll fight for ours Battles revolving around lines In pursuit of victory to occupy minds It's dangerous, it's complicated, it's worthwhile Written by B.

Untitled (I'm a blast from the past)
Verse 1 I am a man as a man I've been told Real and grown-ass is the way I've been sold I tower over others and I'm built like a rock Bred from days of bondage My abilities will not be mocked I am a man who has raised up his mind Facts and figures are what I've dealt with Contracts are signed and large funds are collected I don't rough it up in the hood And I'm not an empire Verse 2 Some say, some suggest That I'm not what I appear to be Controversial implications no longer bother me Some do, many won't say anything Directly to my face Varying degrees of hostility are displayed Even among my race Interpreters of the most-read book Bestow disappointment and shame Through my existence I generate a lot of blame Verse 3 Hot-tongued individuals refuse to ignore me Many people I encounter Just look right through me I've learned how not to view myself Through the eyes of others Countless hours of solitude Have yet to fail me I am a man as a man I've been told Creations dwell in me Therefore, I must be bold Chorus I'm a blast from the past And I'm ahead of my time The principles of my being Are constantly being debated on Written by B.
