"Eyes on the Current" (D. Blood)
I am only building on what you said before
But you know I'm not willing to sacrifice it all
Eyes on the current as the time goes with the tide
Eyes on the current as the time goes with the tide

"Happiness" (D. Blood)
Some will be kind to you, show them you care
Some may want to hurt you with sticks and stones
Some may be blind to you, don't be afraid
Some may defy you, don't back down
As long as the sun still shines
I hope I can ease your mind
Because happiness is easy to find
Some may guide you, hear what they say
Some may rely on you, just be brave
Some may lie to you, just be aware
And when you can't push through, just give it a try
As long as the sun still shines
I hope I can ease your mind
Because happiness is easy to find
I'll walk beside you whenever I can
You've got your whole life to seize the day
As long as the sun still shines
I hope I can ease your mind
Because happiness is easy to find

"Green Bottle" (D. Blood)
I meant it when I said that I won't ever change
I can only change the way that I behave
It always gets me down
Staring at this dead green bottle on the floor
I'm never gonna reach that bottom anymore
It's always on my mind
Oh Delilah, please be my love
You can have what you want
Oh Delilah please don't deny my love
You can have what you want

"When We Were Young" (D. Blood)
When we were young and stupid
When we were young
So little time that we would spend alone
When we were young
I don't know anything
All my days are fading
We used to think that this day would never come
When we were young
Are we still alive, will we ever find that place that we once loved
When we were young?
I don't know anything
All my days are fading
You turn the lights out and go
I don't know anything
All my days are fading

"Monsters" (D. Blood)
Please don't let the ghosts come in
Just close up all the doors
You're not that child I used to know before
Don't let him push his weight on you
Or validate his sins
You don't deserve the trouble he's put you in
Maybe I could skip my lunch
And meet you after five
We could talk about it all nigh
t
I will be your safety net to catch you when you fall
Better times still lay ahead
Oh, something's going wrong
You have given up your life
To feed another hand
Wash away that emptiness if you can
She is growing far too thin
She's lost inside her mind
She doesn'twant our help, even if we tried
Oh, something's going wrong

"Gimme Some Soul" (D. Blood)
Trees drop, malls crop sitting on blacktops
Hot wax, four tracks blowing up smoke stacks
Land fills, minds spill, passing out hand bills
Just tell me who or what is coming for me
Gimme some soul
Small type, all hype, out of work, out of sight
Play dead, stay fed, don't believe what you've read
Fat cats, eat gas, beaten' on fake stats
Can't get my foot in the door of industry
Gimme some soul
Downloads, choke hold, looking young, feeling old
Waste time, feel fine, looking for the bottom line
Soft sale, retail, images turning pale
They say the kid's alright, they don't fool me
Gimme some soul
Born late, high stakes, make amends with your fate
Take time, rewind, robbing all the people blind
Drone rock, take stock, seeing where the needle drops
Stare down at bottles that sit in empty seats
Gimme some soul

"Flavor of the Day" (D. Blood)
The grass is always greener when the load’s too much to take
I’m feeling sick when I come ‘round thinkin’
To your own twisted ways
It all seems too convenient like some innocent exchange
I’m tired of being used and thrown away
I took that path too many times, too many times you’ve strayed
I traded in my deck of cards for a flavor of the day
You emptied out my broken heart with a ticket and a spade
I’m sick of being used and thrown away
It rattled my mind going ‘round that bend
Couldn’t pick which way my feet should go
Holding the dice took so long to mend
You brushed me off with pity and pretended to be my friend
Every time you get in touch it all seems so contrived
I was at best your back up plan when you needed to unwind
I thought I was the sentimental type but it’s just too late
I’m happy now with the life I live today

"Precious Time" (D. Blood)
What a day we have had
Sitting around sharing a smile
At the park, 'round the bend
We'll take it all in
Friends 'till the end
Ask me all you need to know
I'll take you where you want to go
Precious Time, please don't waste this time
All the girls know your name
They gather around they want to be in your game
Everyone gets a smile
You pass them around mile after mile
Ask me all you need to know
I'll take you where you want to go
Precious Time, please don't waste this time
And late at night when darkness appears
We'll turn down the lights but don't you fear
We'll make things right, keep snug and tight
And safe every night
Then one day, you'll be a man
If you still want to play you can be in my band
You could play the keys or tamborine
Just take it from the heart you'll see what I mean
Ask me all you need to know
I'll take you where you want to go
Precious Time, please don't waste this time

"Last Light" (D. Blood)
No you haven't seen the last light of me
Standing by your Chinese wall
You can tell all your friends just how much I really meant
But that don't matter much to me
It's time we had a look
No you haven't seen the last light of me
Looking right through your empty heart
You can't condemn me like Leonard Da Vinci
There's a million ways I could cross your mind
It's time we had a look
I'd like to know
No you haven't seen the last light of me
Sitting by the spanish moss
You better look where you cross
There's a line that we have walked
That's throwing shadows we can't see
It's time we had a look
I'd like to know
No you haven't seen the last light of me

"Fill in the Blanks" (D. Blood)
Feeling ashamed of this life ain't so pretty
Takes up some space in my heart
Playing the game when we know we're not winning
Fill in the blanks from the start
Stuck in your ways while my mind is still spinning
That's not the way to my heart
Choosing the road to a place that's beginning
To feel like we've made a new start
But you know I'm no good at some things
That you don't want to face
When you start looking in from the outside
You won't leave any trace
Try something new from a side that is sinking
That's just no good to our hearts
Chipping away over miles of misgivings
And looking for cracks in the pot
But you know I'm no good at some things
That you don't want to face
When you start looking in from the outside
You won't leave any trace
