(VERSE 1)
Sorry Dad I'm going off to war,
Hold me close like long before,
Tell me how I'm supposed to go on,
I can't get off, Oh no.
(VERSE 2)
For tonight may our passion lay,
On this bed we spend night and day,
Tell me how I'm supposed to go on,
I can't get off, Hell no.
(CHORUS)
Tragic's in the hole tonight,
I got another child,
Making up a morning light,
We got another life,
We been shaking for sure,
We been waiting for more,
Making up a new love,
We been shaking off
(Shake, Shake, Shake it off)
(Shake, Shake, Shake, Shake, Shake it off)
(VERSE 3)
I thought I was losing my cool,
Well then you missed a thing or two,
Tell me how I'm supposed to go on,
I can't get off, Hell no.

(VERSE 1)
Wait,
You see her on display,
Spotlight on her eyes,
As she takes the stage.
(PRE-CHORUS 1)
I'm not a fool,
To believe that it's not cruel,
To make her cry,
To make her cry,
To make her cry,
Are you satisfied?
(CHORUS)
I know it's fate,
But we don't need no saints,
They beat you, Bella.
Alright, Bella.
Beautiful, Bella.
On the Stage.
(VERSE 2)
Lady,
What you doing,
What you doing,
With your life,
You know it's worth more.
(PRE-CHORUS 2)
Then the eyes that gawk,
And for hands that must not,
Touch you so,
Touch you so,
Touch you so.
(CHORUS)
(BRIDGE)
She belongs to no one else,
I can feel it now,
She is free from sea to sea,
She'll be just fine,
She belongs to no one else,
I can feel it now.
(She can fight her way through life,
just to get by the day,
Working on one goal in life her pay, pay, pay.)

(VERSE 1)
I made detective of the prison brigade,
Slick back hair and gun on my waist,
Got a runner,
Cold blooded gunner,
Shot his own lady in the face.
(CHORUS)
It's like you lost the draw,
Everyone knows you got shot,
But no one, knows where you'll fall.
Looks like you found the clue,
And there was no room for two,
It's always, bad news.
(VERSE 2)
I'm at the prison,
Ail your arm,
Waiting for that bitch to get hung,
Little lady,
Seems to be fine,
He just skipped that death row line.

(Singer 2) There's wrong,
But then there's this thing.
(PRE-CHORUS 1)
Get over your pain,
And break from binds that chain you.
(CHORUS)
God speed,
And the devil follows him,
Twain shall meet,
Oh what a tragedy.
Can you take them both away,
So it's just you and me.
(Dread, Dread, Dread the mind of,
The mind of thinking men.)

Get over my pain,
And break from your chain.

And then there's you.

Take me down to the gallows,
Hold me there,
I may struggle.
In the shallow,
Hold me down,
In the shallow.

She sings a song,
As she, As she takes me along,
So bitter sweet,
So bitter sweet,
Yeah it, it take me off my feet
(CHORUS)
She says,
You are bound,
Not by crime,
You are bound,
By time.
(VERSE 2)
Before you go,
Leave the fan on,
God you know,
I can't stay awake without the sound of it's hum.
Shallow,
Hold me down,
In the shallow.

Calamity
05:16
|

|
(VERSE 1)
I call you,
Religiously,
Every night,
Before 3.
You'll answer,
Half asleep,
Dishing out,
So consciously.
Doesn't it,
Feel weak?
To hear yourself,
Speak.
(VERSE 2)
What did you say?
Did you say your going away for so long?
For so long,
What did I say?
Did I ask you to stay? Oh no,
I said just go.
Is it so hard to deal?
Is it just, your speak,
To leave.
(CHORUS)
I don't want a calamity,
To haunt me for the rest of my life,
To be there by my side,
And show me a surprise.
And if you leave me I will tell you again,
I will not shed a tear,
I must face these fears,
Utterly unimpaired.
(VERSE 3)
Are you feeling stressed?
Then go home and rest,
Then maybe, take off those shoes.
And if you ever leave,
Come over and thank me,
And maybe,
Try to please me.
Is it so hard to deal?
Does it have, your speak,
To leave.
(CHORUS)
(INTERLUDE)
I can make these words,
We will get through this girl,
I'm telling you, I'm telling you, I will,
Be back to Earth.
(CHORUS)
(OUTRO)
Utterly unimpaired,
Utterly unimpaired,
Utterly... I'm impaired.

The Pessimist
03:34
|
|||
|
(VERSE 1)
If looks can kill,
I'd be done for sure,
Forgive me when I'm angry,
Allow me to quote Murphy's Law.
(PRE-CHORUS 1)
This is how it works,
If it can it will get worse,
If love starts,
It will always end,
No one can live in heart,
And afford the rent,
Afford the rent.
(CHORUS)
So if you go,
You'll lose your friends,
So if you go,
You'll learn to get over them,
So if you go,
You will for sure get over me,
(CHORUS EXTENDED)
You see this is not a guess,
This is prophecy,
Or love in the century.
(VERSE 2)
When we first did meet,
Our love made a grand symphony,
Thrilling, live, and crescendos,
But now the sharpest and flatest notes.
(PRE-CHORUS 2)
I know how it ends,
At best we'll stay just friends,
And dream of songs that I write,
If our love didn't survive.
(CHORUS 1)
(CHORUS 2)
If I go,
I'll lose my friends,
If I go,
I'll learn to get over them,
If I go,
I will never get over you,
And that is what she said,
Before she left.

Hollow Inside

(CHORUS 1)
Hot's getting hot again,
So get those girls back in,
Then show me how to move,
So show you how I.
It's so good to see you here,
It's so good to have you near.
(CHORUS 2)
You look lonely,
So come on girl bring it over here,
Back it up slowly,
And I'll show you how it works.
It's so good to see you here,
It's so good to have you near.
(VERSE 1)
Sometimes,
All we want is,
A hollow inside,
Where all our problems,
Are on the outside.
You won't say that loud,
But in here you'll sing it proud,
So come on girl,
Baby light my fire,
You know what,
I desire.
(VERSE 2)
Sometimes,
All we want is,
A hollow inside,
Where all our problems,
Are on the outside.
(VERSE 3)
Time without you,
I need you,
Time.
Time without you,
I need you,
Time.
(VERSE 4)
Everyone down again,
Pushing me down again,
Everyone down,
Keeping me down,
Sometimes I wonder,
How will I be down.
(CHORUS 1)
(CHORUS 2)

I Am Jack 1 Fort Lauderdale, Florida
I've been making music since high school. I just really like to do it. A lot of the music on this page is from many bands I use to be in and from my solo career. The song descriptions let you know who was in the making of each song. I hope you enjoy the music! ... more
