I've been looking for an angel
When heaven couldn't be found
I'm just another faceless stranger
In my hometown
I can tell by the look in your eyes
Things aren't going my way
A sad face in the mirror
it's sad it's me
I would beg you if I thought it would make you stay

Everyone's looking a reason to believe
In things that we hear
But, can't be seen 
There's nothing scarier than living in fear
Don't you think it's time to wipe the slate clean
You're the reason that I breathe

I couldn't changed without you
You were the one that got me through
That's one of the many things
That I love about you
You're the inspiration for this song
I hope you smile when you put it on
So, say goodbye to the old me
For he's already gone
I thought It was me and you till the end
I guess I was wrong

Everyone's looking a reason to believe
In things that we hear
But, can't be seen 
There's nothing scarier than living in fear
Don't you think it's time to wipe the slate clean
You're the reason that I breathe

The funny thing is
I was ready to give you my name
I heard that you moved on
I guess maybe I should do the same
How can we say goodbye
When we both know we're living with lies

( SOLO)

There's no tomorrow 
Without a yesterday
There's no love 
Without the pain
There's no clouds 
Without the rain
There's no guilt
Without the shame
There's no me
Without your name

Everyone's looking a reason to believe
In things that we hear
But, can't be seen 
There's nothing scarier than living in fear
Don't you think it's time to wipe the slate clean
You're the reason that I breathe

Hate will not spawn our fate

By Jessie Doyle

There was a time I think when the world ran much more peacefully and there weren't wars or violence and material things didn't matter and everything wasn't a competition to see who was better than one another, a time where people helped one another without asking for it that's just what they did because they genuinely felt love and compassion and unity amongst each other, but then something happened along the way that poisoned our hearts and our souls and what was once love, mutated into hate and angst and the urge to destroy one another just to satisfy thier own needs and somehow maybe one day through a miracle we can get back to getting along and living peacefully and happily with each other.

I Write About You Sometimes

By Corrina Adams

This was made for someone who I’ve been trying to forget about when I write music but instead I always end up writing about this person and never realize it until it’s finished.

Life Restrainer

By Matt Cain

This is about the depression and anxiety I've dealt with throughout my life. It feels as if it restrains me from doing things I know I should be able to do.
