Stark Lyrics

crazy love
by Gregory Douglass

prophets full of grace come down
and help us out
we’ve got wise men reeling in our right
to remain quiet
they’ve got choirs of angles singing on high
so they can maintain the law

come on crazy, come on crazy love
they say that you come in disguise from above
but I feel you coming in close
if you think I’m crazy than come on

sunset boulevard going down
you know I like that sound
we get caught up and merrily go ‘round
lost in what we’ve found
we’re a proud american compound
and we will destroy it all

upside down
by Gregory Douglass

show me another revolution
I know there must be a better resolution
and all the children at war with good intentions
for all the reasons inside that no one mentions
go on, go on, let the radio lie
go on, go on, all together

this world is hung over swinging upside down
and it seems to be hanging over me right now
this world is hung over swinging upside down
I think I’ve had enough by now
I think I’ve had enough by now

lets take another piece of heaven
along with all the kings soldiers in the kingdom
and send them rageing far off into the distance
with no real hope for a future of existance
go on, go on, let the radio lie
go on, go on all together

under the gun
by gregory douglass

under the gun, coming undone
ain’t having much fun anymore
why should I go on?
under a naked sky
my suicide lullaby
make love to the mad man inside
let it linger on
maybe I’ll never learn
get nothing back in return
or maybe I’m just giving up
I can still hear her saying

you will strip down your pride
if you just make up your mind
no matter what you decide
you’ll never make it right
under the gun, coming undone

under appreciated
like I’m deserving of it
just coming all easy and fast
since nothing ever lasts
much longer than “good enough”
no matter how big and tough
even with the deepest in love
there’s a sacrifice
this broken down satellite
is coming in clear tonight
there are no survivors in sight
I can still hear her saying

you’re not going crazy
it’s just you’ve been crawling along
now for way too long
it’s just temporary
there’s no need to cry anymore
it won’t repair a thing now
we’ve got the rest of our lives
so lets take a chance on it all
I’m gonna keep on saying’

sail the sea
by gregory douglass

well she wanted to be with me
but she wanted to sail the sea
and make her grandfather proud
the way her father did in 1960

well she wanted to be with me
but she wanted to sail the sea
so she took all my love and money
and left me here in my misery

so don’t tell me how it’s gonna be all right
so don’t tell me how it’s gonna be all right
you don’t know a damn thing about my life
so why don’t you sit down and listen

like I said she wanted to be with me
but she wanted to sail the sea
and drown the weight of the world
beneath the blanket of the atlantic sea

well she wanted to be with me
but she wanted to sail the sea
so she never came back to me
and that’s all there is to that story

we go dreaming & dreaming
& dreaming until we wake up . . .

promises
by gregory douglass

too much to know to well
I’m under your spell at the wish well
the coins drop like flies, no surprise
you apologize, apologize
you stay strong but no one replies

where do you go when life just follows you
where do you go when life just follows you
where do you go when life just follows behind

where’s the love that everyone promises
where’s the love that everyone promises
where’s the love that everyone promises

what do I come here for
what is the allure and furthormore
what am I to do about you
a promise for the tride and true
I’ve managed to pull this far through

liar
by gregory douglass

must be in the air I breathe
must be in the air I breathe
must be in the air I breathe
last night when I fell asleep
I began to dream

must be in the state I’m in
must be in the state I’m in
must be in the state I’m in
this love I’ve been working on
is a chance you’ll take on it
is what you said
liar

must have made some big mistake
must have made some big mistake
must have made some big mistake
enslaved to the universe
now it’s really happening
is what you said
liar

where did the music go?
by gregory douglass

when the moon is awake
and the darkness takes aim
and you are, you are, you are sleeping
there’s a moment of silence
howling to the cowering dawn

when a cold wind makes way
for a cruel passerby
while you are, you are, you are sleeping
there’s a chance you’ll take back
all the love that you ever gave out

I am ready to dance so
where did the music go?
I’m out here on my own and I’m
scared as hell

(now) when the world seems unsafe
and everyone changes side
while you are, you are, you are bleeding
don’t forget what you’re fighting for
claim what is rightfully yours

I am ready to dance so
where did the music go?
I’m paving this road on my own
once again
guess it always come down to yourself
in the end
always

dry
by Gregory Douglass

tragedy is the bottom of the minds eye
when nobody replies
or ask the right questions
or tells the right lies

tragedy is the bottom of the minds eye
when nobody really tries
and nothings in motion
you think you knew it all

but you’re just in love with a boy
from the dark side of town
‘cause he’s always around
but he’s just a matter of circumstance
not so profound

sympathy is the bottom of the minds eye
ready to compromise
all it can handle
all it can stand

sympathy is the bottom of the minds eye
taking up your sweet time
making a mess of
what you truly love

the words I tell you just dry you up
the words I tell you just dry you up
even more everyday
the words I tell you just dry you up
just dry you up, they just dry you up yeah

loyalty is the bottom of the minds eye
if you just can’t decide
what are you feeling
the fears you can’t hide

loyalty is the bottom of the minds eye
when you just keep on trying
and everything's falling apart
especially your heart

goodbye
by Gregory Douglass

we’re roaming around
trying to belong
we’re back and forth
we’ll do what we want to do
change who we are
and be rid of the child overnight

it’s yours now,
leave it alone
it’s yours now,
so write it in stone
say goodbye, baby
the world is yours now
it’s the end of the road
let the future take over

don’t worry yourself
questions and doubts
swing back and forth
you’ll go where you want to go
change who you are
and be rid of the child overnight
it’s all right ‘cause

better tomorrow
by Gregory Douglass

shame soaking up the rain
I think I’ve found a way
to forget why I love
all the things I’m dreaming of

you’re uninvited though
you seem to have a heart
more innocent than you know
that I lost so long ago

if you have the time
can I cry on your shoulder?
it might help
I’ve nothing to blame but myself
still it’s always the same
when you’re feeling down
you always break down

so if you see the sun shine
under the landslide
I’ll be waiting for a sign to wake up
and if you see the sun shine
over the rainbow
I’ll be waiting for a better tomorrow

love all around me now
it’s never quite enough
to embrace without fail
so I’ll live to tell the tail

time can be something of a
blessing in disguise
boy I hope I’m not wrong
I don’t think I’m quite that strong
