NOTHING MORE
Words and Music by Lindsey Collins of Scarlet Virginia and Kras
Walked down the hallway with my shoes stuffed in my suitcase
Feel the floor against my feet
We've argued far too many times to make a difference
Just as well I let you sleep
(Chorus)
Say what you want to say now
'Cause I'm leaving you with nothing more
Say what you want to say now
'Cause I'm letting this go
I'm letting this go
A million raindrops leave a river on my rooftop
As I drive along the bay
A thousand hurtful things you've done I still remember
Along with everything you say
(Chorus)
Say what you want to say now
'Cause I'm leaving you with nothing more
Say what you want to say now
'Cause I'm letting this go
I'm letting this go
So many times I've tried to leave your crazy circus
Still I stayed to watch the show
The ticket taker's gone away, the show is over
Now it's finally time to go
(Chorus)
Say what you want to say now
'Cause I'm leaving you with nothing more
Say what you want to say now
'Cause I'm letting this go
Yeah, I'm letting this illness go

KILLING ME
Words and music by Rex Fowler of the Aztec Two-Step
You say you're uncertain
And not sure what I meant
As we walk through the smoke and the broken cement
My mind is a circus
My thoughts are surreal
There's no words for expressing the way that I feel
(Chorus)
Baby, baby can't you see
What it is that's come to be?
Baby, baby can't you see
What's killing me?
You say it's a new day
And this is only a phase
But the sun's going down and I'm lost in the haze
(Chorus)
Baby, baby can't you see
What it is that's come to be?
Baby, baby can't you see
What's killing me?
(Bridge)
I live on the West Side
But I was raised in the East
It was easy to move, but so hard to find peace
We started out laughing,
But after a while,
Your laughter soon ceased, your lips lost their smile
Now you say that you know me
And I'm sure that you do
Except for the part that was hidden from you
But I know I should warn you
To beware of the sparks
When you search with your matches
For flames in the dark
(Chorus)
Baby, baby can't you see
What it is that's come to be?
Baby, baby can't you see
What's killing me?

THE INFIDEL
Words and music by Rex Fowler of the Aztec Two-Step
Walking, foot falls on the ground
You feel like talking, you know she's not around
Someone is knocking, a haunting hallowed sound upon your door
Dreaming, you open it to find another scheming
Offering her time, you feel like screaming
Instead you close you eyes and wait for more
(Chorus)
Dying, you roll up in her arms
Your mind is crying, lost within her charms
You go on lying, until the fire's gone
And then you play an empty song
So she can gracefully move along
Well you want her, but you don't know what you want
You know you need her, but you don't know what you need
You know you love her, but love there is no meaning here for you
Like thunder, that rolls out of the sky
You sit and wonder. There are no answers why.
As you go under, the emptiness inside is everywhere
(Chorus)
Dying, you roll up in her arms
Your mind is crying, lost within her charms
You go on lying, until the fire's gone
And then you play an empty song
So she can gracefully move along

MEGHAN'S SONG
Words and Music by Kras
Caught up in lovin'
But your future's coming
Leaving a world you know behind
Changin' places
Bringing boots and laces
Proving it all just one more time
(Chorus)
It's hard to start again, when everything is new
It's hard to start again, when all you have is you
It's hard to start again, thinkin' you're alone
But you're not alone
No, you're never alone
Getting stronger
Though the days seem longer
Knowing that soon you'll make them see
Early classes
Making perfect passes
Proving it all just one more time
(Chorus)
It's happening again, you're really breaking through
It's happening again, it's every dream come true
It's happening again, still think that you're alone?
Well you're not alone
You're never alone
Well the packing's through
Not much left to tell you
But just one thing before you go
When you love another,
Then you'll soon discover
He will always be right by your side
(Chorus)
He'll be with you again, he'll always help you through
He'll be with you again, it's always up to you
He'll be with you again, and you'll never be alone
No, you're not alone
You're never alone

TIME
Words and Music by Kras
Time, nothing but time, my love
The time it takes to live our lives in perfect love
And the feeling of your body lying next to mine
Make me hold your hands behind you and stop time
I want to hold your hands behind you and stop time
Time, give me your time, my love
All the time you have today and all of your life, my love
For to live without your love would be the end of my...
The end of all I know if you're not mine
(Chorus)
Oh time
The hours away from you
Set slowly like the sun that ends the day
But time
Can bring me so close to you
And I'll thank the stars above for all the time
Time, let's make the best of time
The time it takes to live our lives in perfect rhyme
So let's join our lives as one and face whatever comes
And we'll thank stars above for all the time
Thank the stars above for all the time
Thanks the stars above for all the time

OLD FEZZIWIG
Words and Music by Kras
There was a man named Fezziwig, a silly little man
He cared about his people and he had a simple plan
Oh oh, he had a simple plan
Made others feel they mattered, made others hear his song
He gave away his fortune, made sure that they belonged
Oh, oh, made sure that belonged
Oh, made sure that they belonged
They say that love and money bring contentment to the mind
But money without love is just a curse that isn't mine
Oh, oh, a curse that isn't mine
Living in the world today takes everything and more
Surviving in the shadow's not what life is really for
Oh no, not what life is really for
No, not what life is really for
(Bridge)
'Cause people know I'll take a little while
I'll find you in the alleys and I'll find you in the pile
I'll take away your sorrow 'til you look at me and smile
Oh, just look at me and smile
Oh, just look at me and smile
Walking down the road of life you always get to choose
Chase the dreams that help yourself or walk in someone's shoes
Oh, oh, walk in someone else's shows
Two hundred years of pushing only pushed some people out
It's time to work it differently, a holy turnabout
Oh, Oh a holy turnabout
Oh, a holy turnabout
(Bridge)
It's all about your vision of what life can truly be
Turn away from trouble and just refuse to see
Or open up your heart and show 'em you can bleed
Oh, just show 'em you can bleed
Oh, just show 'em you can bleed
There was a man named Fezziwig, a silly little man
He cared about his people and he had a simple plan
Oh, he had a simple plan
Oh, he had a simple plan
Yeah, he had a simple plan
Oh, it was such a simple plan

MY MIRAGE
Words and Music by Kras
Such magic in your eyes
It took me by surprise
Were you always there?
And did you always know?
I missed the signals
Then I let you go
But now with every breath, I know I want you there
To gaze upon you smile and see that auburn hair
My Mirage
Oh My Mirage
Daylight in your smile
So playful, with such style
What do you really want?
And what do you see in me?
What can I offer
That you really need?
But something holds you back, you're not completely sold
Did I talk or laugh too much, or am I just too old?
My Mirage
Oh my Mirage
So I'm thinkin' you're a Mirage
Please, no please don't be a Mirage
A beauty not for me
One that I'll never see
Something so real, I'll never get to feel
But every smile and touch and kiss, makes me believe
That even though I've never had you, I know just what you need
My Mirage
Oh my Mirage
So come to me now
O I know, yeah I know that you know how
You gotta take stand, so baby hold my hand
This is what it seems, and not just another dream
Being wiser means we know how special this can be
Seeing with your heart and not your eyes will set you free
My Mirage
Oh my Mirage
So come to me
Walk over, walk over to me
Come over to me
My Mirage

SCIMITAR
Words and Music by Kras
Seeing you, that real you that's coming thru
And feelin' blue, and knowing what we had is thru
Not knowin' what to say
Since that day you went away
Is that blinding flash a star, or just your Scimitar?
Playing rough, incapable of acting tough
I call your bluff, until I say enough's enough
You turned me upside down
And crushed the love I found
All I wanted was your heart, and not your Scimitar
(Chorus)
There's danger in your eyes
And it comes as no surprise
As you sliced me from afar
You and your Scimitar
I'll heal some day
But scars will never go away
And I'll win, they say
But winning won't erase the pain
I'll never see
Why you put that sword in me
All I wanted was your heart, and not that Scimitar
(Chorus)
There's danger in your eyes
And it comes as no surprise
As you sliced me from afar
You and your Scimitar
I'm over you. I never thought I'd make it thru.
And I'm smilin' too, for without you I can see what's true
A brand new dawn
And that spell you cast is gone
And my armor's twice as strong against your Scimitar
A brand new dawn
And that spell you cast is gone
And my armor's twice as strong against your Scimitar

GRATITUDE
Words and music by Kras
Feeling the sun touching my senses
Thanking the ones, who taught me the lessons
So clever about the wisdom they're knowing
Never in doubt about the love that they're showing
Friends never leave, they always surround you
To cheer you or grieve, put their arms around you
They're greater than gold, they fix what is broken
With passion untold, and love that's unspoken
(Chorus)
True to the end
And I love my friends
Richer or poor
Fortunes may scatter
But keeping no score, they're there when it matters
With six pack and smiles, they bring you such pleasure
Across the miles, they're God's special treasure
(Chorus)
True to the end
And I love my friends
I'll always feel, I can never repay you
Best I can do is to never forget you
So Godspeed your days, with sunshine and glory
I never could have completed my story without you
(Chorus)
So many friends
And I love my friends
