“A Good Good-Bye”
(Eric Wilms)
Tell me something I don't know
Tell me something that'll make me want to stay
Haven't seen the best in you
For so long I’ve forgotten why I came
Between the light and between the dark
We've shown the way, the way it’ll not to be
There's no fork in the road
Until the crash and We'll have to make our way
For so long, we've been on our own
Now I'm feeling I am so alone
I fear that if this goes on we'll find the worst in you
And the worst in me
The lines we've drawn have brought us here
As we thrash so hard against this space
But, I know it's more than you
We'll just have to agree to disagree
This is good, this is good for you
This is good, this is good for me
Can't seem to ease this pain
This is good, it's a good good-bye
This is good, this is good for you
This is good, this is good for me
Can't seem to ease this pain
This is good, it's a good good-bye
Good good-bye
Good good-bye

The Chair

The Chair
(Rich Palmer)
(Intro)
I sat in that chair today
The one where stories were told.
We did some things we should not say
Lessons there were learned.
Maybe we can pass it on
Before our hair does turn.
We reminisced old photographs
And times when we were bold.
Broken hearts; broken bones
A crash along the way.
Push and shove; give and take
A fight to have our say.
(Chorus)
Excited you, crazy me
Challenging the world.
We used to be passionate unabashedly.
Crazy you, excited me.
(Bridge)
Tables turned; bridges burned
A twist in every rope.
Casting doubt; losing faith
Abandoning all hope.
Fixing wounds, earning trust
Renewing energy
Building up, climbing out.
I sat in that chair today.
(Spoken)
When the clouds have blown away.

“Gotta Be Free”
(Eric Wilms)
Throw me moment, let me steal your mind
I only want to take a little of your time
Picture perfect images of you and me
That’s just how I want us to be
[Chorus]
You don’t have to be a super star
I know exactly just who you are
You don’t need no super man
I just gotta be who I am
And we just gotta be free
Crazy spoken words but, this beautiful sky
I think we make us man, I wouldn’t lie
Time to hold my hand and have a little bit of faith
A beautiful moment, I know we can make
[Chorus]
You don’t have to be a super star
I know exactly just who you are
You don’t need no super man
I just gotta be who I am
And we just gotta be free
You don’t have to be a super star
I know exactly just who you are
You don’t need no super man
I just gotta be who I am
You don’t have to be a super star
I know exactly just who you are
You don’t need no super man
I just gotta be who I am
We just gotta be
We just gotta be
We just gotta be free

Save Me

“Save me”
(Eric Wilms)
Yesterday I lost a friend of mine
Today, I’m not sure I can carry on
I think of you, it happened so easily
I can’t bring back those days but, I can dream
Come back
Save me
I’ll wait
You’ll see
I’m lost
I know
Happiness is more than what we want it to be
When I was young, I discard my days so easily
The winds of change would fly my sail
Now I mark my days with the unkind clock
And the scars to show
Never have your touch still, in my dreams
The ticking clock is not a friend of mine
The days are filled with plans for days (and days, and days)
I turn around and youth was gone for good
Where did it go?
I miss it so
I miss you so

“Girl Like a Snowflake”
(Eric Wilms)
Its the kind of girl you’re looking for who always wore the right dress
The kind of girl just standing there crying in the rain
A walking contradiction the world won’t come her way
The kind of girl you dream about every other day
Happy to be sad she’ll pull you to save her life
It’s not that she’s broken, she loves to have your fix
Zero to ninety prepare for the crash
Pick up the pieces you know this can’t last
Her love melts away, I’m sure this leaves a mark
A girl like that won’t last forever
I want her, I want her
A girl like that comes once in a life time
But, she not for keeps, she’s not forever
Girl like a snowflake different from all the others
There’s a beauty in, watching her take the fall
If she’s down don’t be around, you can’t get out of her way
Snowflake girl, you know I know, this can’t last forever
Snowflake girl, you can’t stick around forever
There’s a beauty in, watching you take the fall
If your down don’t be around you can’t get out of your way
This will probably leave a mark
Once the dream is gone, once her love has gone away

“Blood In the Ink”
(Eric Wilms)
I suffer your lies,
And now you want this time for space?
And here we go again,
We’ve worn this ground in chase
Things are different now
I lost that place to hide
I’ve got the pen and you, the muse
To tell my side
Did you really tell me goodbye?
Did you really tell them your lie?
This blood in the ink is not about you
I can’t forgive, you see
This will be the end of me
Did I really live all your lies?
Did I really tell you goodbye?
This blood in the ink is all about you
I can’t forgive, you see
This will be the end of me
Damage done, the rage goes on
Things said in the dark, were meant for you
Twisted knife, your painful way
Act of love was just sin and hate

Care About You

“Care About You”
(Eric Wilms)
I just found out today how you slipped away
Took my love, squandered my time
Played my life like wasn't wrong
Heart is breaking
My day is aching
How can you care about me
When you don't care about you
The way I see you is not the way you see you
Beauty inside, love you hide
Let the others just have their way
My day is aching
My heart is breaking
How can you care about me
When you don't care about you
Care about you
Wish upon a star
Ya blow out the candle and pray for dream
Found a penny and I picked it up
Doubt you wish you had my luck
What would do with it any way
Toss it back into the wishing well
Look past the things that you have
Don't care for them, Can't care about you
Care about you, Care about you

“Emerald Opus”
(Eric Wilms)
And I see just how she shines
Can she be more beautiful?
On the way I know she glows
The way I feel I know it shows
Take a line from the better ones
Once you own it it's your story to tell
Ride along in the notes that form
You're just a rider on this song
Grab hold the harmony
Frequency will match your being
What comes out we'll never understand
But for now we're just part of the pen
How the instrument inspires
Why is the soul along for the ride?
Magical pieces, magical places
How can we ever understand?
Lightning in a bottle
The moment is so fragile
Right place, wrong time
Wrong place, right time
Can you hear the emerald gate opening?
Never question how it comes to be
Wake up to the sheet dry ink complete
Staring at the meaning, with no chance to compete
In solitude the message has been transported
Message complete, messenger departed
Never question how it comes to be
Never question
Never question how it comes to be
And in the end who owns who?
Why does it start, and where do I begin?
And when it's done was there before the void?
Can you hear the emerald shimmering voices guide us through?
Never question…
