SHE’S GETTING HYSTERICAL
by Erik Norlander (c)2014 Waking Dream Music, BMI
She's half asleep with her wild eyed dreams
An early fall, a restless sea
The lights go down on tired eyes
Days go by, it's no surprise
She's getting hysterical
No talking anymore
She's getting hysterical
All's fair in love and war
She's on her way, there's no return
I walk a road and watch it burn
A crazy world goes rolling by
She's got the look in her eye
She's getting hysterical
No talking anymore
She's getting hysterical
All's fair in love and war
I should say I'm sorry
And come back for more
I could make it easy
But all's fair in love and war
She's getting hysterical
She's half asleep with her wild eyed dreams
An early fall, a summer breeze
She's on her way, there's no escape
You try to turn but it's too late ...

MARTIAL
by Erik Norlander (c)2014 Waking Dream Music, BMI
One more mountain in the distance, haze and clouds behind
Face the future, climb the mountain, take each step at a time
Martial will, and testify
Leave your dark days behind
One last valley past the mountain, get to there in time
Present future, deep the valley, far as ocean as wide
Martial will, and testify
Leave your dark days behind

IT’S OVER
by Mark McCrite and Don Schiff (c)2014 Vermiscious Music, BMI
I have no sense of rhythm
I have no need for time
I can't see any reason in the rhyme
And I just can't remember
Before it felt this way
And all the things we lost along the way
Wishing I could just start over
I need to feel alive again
I'm so afraid to make the next move
For all the things that might have been
But it's over
It’s over
No easy way to find it
On any road I've known
I've learned to make my way out on my own
I can't explain what's missing
But it's missing all the same
I had to lose to learn to play the game
Doesn't feel like starting over
Cause this is what I've always been
Wake me up to face the new day
Another chance to shed my skin
‘Cause it's over
It’s really over
I must be a fool to think of leaving
With so much more to say
If I could find a way
I'd be alright given time
But it's not right and I'm not fine
I wish that I could just start over
And feel alive again
Wake me up to face the new day
One more chance to shed my skin
‘Cause it's over
It’s over

THE FADING LIGHT
by Erik Norlander (c)2014 Waking Dream Music, BMI
Strange roads have brought you here
Far away from home
Dark days have turned to years
Through the great unknown
When all is lost
You hold on to the fading light
When changes darken all you knew
The fading light will guide you home
Strange engines turn their wheels
It's a big machine
Steam powers brass and steel
If you could see what I have seen
When all is lost
You hold on to the fading light
When changes darken all you knew
The fading light
When all is lost
You hold on to the fading light
When changing skies go darker blue
The fading light will bring you home

THE WORLD WAITS FOR YOU
by Mark McCrite (c)2014 Vermiscious Music, BMI
Standing on higher ground
You don’t make a sound
Trying to get to tomorrow
I’ll be a better man
And keep you safer than
All of the ones who will follow
Searching for a deeper meaning
That’s right before your eyes
You won’t know just what you’ll find
‘Til you’re flying through the sky
Wishing your days away
Everything fades away
Like a New Year’s resolution
And after the long goodnight
Wake with the morning light
Hoping to find a solution
Maybe it’s just part of the journey
Where no one knows your name
When you finally get where you’re going
Will you still feel the same?
So hold on tight through the long, dark night
It’ll be alright
And I’ll be there to help you
Let go of my hand, but stay in command
Then you’ll understand
The world is waiting for you

CHESHIRE CAT SMILE
by Erik Norlander (c)2014 Waking Dream Music, BMI
There's nothing left but a ghost
A photo faded to gray
Before it all slipped away
You burned as bright as the sun
That's how I remember you
Like the Cheshire Cat smile
The Cheshire Cat smile
Smile
The Cheshire Cat smile
Only few find the way
Would you know if you did?
And do you really want to at all?
I saw a face in the crowd
Dressed up like a memory
That's how I remember you
Like the Cheshire Cat smile
The Cheshire Cat smile
Smile
The Cheshire Cat smile

ROME’S ABOUT TO FALL
by Mark McCrite (c)2014 Vermiscious Music, BMI
Here we are again
Starting at the end
It’s hard to find a friend
When it’s over
Nothing left to say
We’ve thrown it all away
We’ve sold our souls today
To buy tomorrow
One step into the mouth of madness
One step into the dead of night
We’re out on our own
Just trying to get it right
We don’t know where this is going
But this ain’t how it’s supposed to be
We always thought that we could have it all
But now Rome’s about to fall
Now you’d like to try
To kiss it all goodbye
You’re living in a lie
But you don’t know it
You don’t understand
Why you’re never in demand
And it got so out of hand
In the end
One step into the mouth of madness
One step into the dead of night
We’re out on our own
Just trying to get it right
We don’t know where this is going
But this ain’t how it’s supposed to be
We always thought that we could have it all
But now Rome’s about to fall

THE LOST YEARS
by Erik Norlander (c)2014 Waking Dream Music, BMI
I had a dream
We broke through the sky
I held on with both hands
But the dream passed me by
And now it's gone
I'm just an empty shell
I wonder how my heaven
Went all to hell
The lost years
The lost years
Gone like yesterday
The lost years
I grieve for the future
I live in the past
I long for the moments
That never could last
And now it's done
So much empty space
I wear the mask of sadness
Lines on my face
The lost years
The lost years
Gone like yesterday
The lost years
The lost years
The lost years
Gone like summer days
The lost years
The lost years
The lost years
Time just slips away
The losts years
