What I'm Doing To Me

(Ron Bensom)

A man, who lives his life as a contract killer, recounts his personal life, outside his job as a hitman. This song explores this characters cognition and the mixed palette of emotions that he endures, everyday.

VERSE 1:
I'm driving down, to the place,
that I'm told to go.
Out the window the ghosts, I created,
are smiling, cause they don't have to see me anymore.

The closer I get...my heart beats fast,
like a thousand times, it has before.
My body, like a machine,
grows a life of its own.

BRIDGE:
Now I find that my senses are taking control, of my brain.
Yet, I don't feel a thing.
Now, I find that my senses are taking control, everywhere.
Yet, I don't feel a thing.

CHORUS:
Sleepless nights,
and the echoes, in my dreams.
They show me what I've doing,
and where I'm going,
and what I'm doing to me.

VERSE 2:
All that it takes is a second, of a minute,
to forge a lifetime of guilt.
All that we need are a couple added zeroes,
to make us destroy all we've built.

I've been doing this for so long,
that I can't seem to tell right from wrong.
All I wanna do is rest my head,
and extinguish this flame.

CHORUS:
Sleepless nights,
and the echoes, in my dreams.
They show me what I've doing,
and where I'm going,
and what I'm doing to me.

In My Eyes

By Xienna Gaines

This song was written about a special someone that I have in my life. They mean the absolute world to me and this song expresses the simplest thing about them that has played a part in my feelings for them from the very beginning. I am the type of person that can very easily connect to others through their eyes. They say eyes are the windows to the soul and I truly believe that that is true. Even more so if you are a deep individual like myself who prefers to look way beyond surface level from the very moment you meet another individual. I feel that it's very important to do that, however, that does not mean that you cannot appreciate the small, simple things that make you grateful to have that special someone in your life. To see so much when looking someone in the eyes, you just know it's beyond a regular connection with that other person, it's something much more special and usually not the same exact thing you will find in other special people you meet in your life. There will always be that one person that's above the rest. It's important to show love, respect and appreciation and doing it in a creative and/or artistic ways is one of the best ways I feel someone could go about doing it.

Pretend

By Victor Prosolow

The meaning behind this song is just that feeling that nothing ever goes right but yet you just push through it with a positive attitude until it starts to turn around for the better. It's also about heartbreak and being alone and trying to deal with the harsh reality of moving on from someone that you truly loved. Going from being in a deep loving relationship into having nobody is a very tough struggle. Some people can hide it well and some people cannot. No matter how much you say you're okay, the fact is most of the time you are only pretending that you're okay just to get by. When you are left in your own head to wonder and try to answer the question of "Why?", then it gets really difficult to look inside yourself and not think that there is something wrong with you. Why else would they leave? What's better about the person they left you for? Why wont they even try to make things work? These are questions you ask yourself. And you wonder about where they are and who they're with and if they are happier with their new life. Going on about your daily life becomes very difficult and you dont want to talk about it so you act like everything is fine. That's basically what the song is about. I went through a severe heartbreak. I got really sick. I lost a scary amount of weight and I was not doing well for a while. I lost my car, I was months behind on all my bills, and I would've lost my apartment if it wasnt for my landlord being so nice. I had a very bad falling out. And then when I was at my absolute lowest point, I realized that I am not being the best person I can be and it shows. So I made it a point to get myself better and turn things around. I got healthy, I was exercising daily, I started writing again and that is when I got the inspiration for this song.

Paradox Of Love

By Nick Duer

Once again an Angel song. It is more than a crush when any type of relationship would be enough. However that has become doubtful. The thing that is without doubt. She inspires song after song. Can't ask for more, or I would.
