Verse:
I hang with me when I'm dying on the inside
On days like these I just hide in my backyard
So far away is how I'm feeling when I see them
So deaf dumb and blind to what's really going on
Here comes that siren again
To take this indecision away
Chorus:
And like a broken robot
All you do is push people down
Can't wait to see you switched off
Dismantled crushed and burned to the ground
So wake me when it's over
I'll wipe my eyes and clear my cloudy head
Still watching from a distance
Won't believe it till I see the lie is dead
Verse:
Well I stood in line they said it's gonna be so epic
Yeah I tried to take that ride but I couldn't drive away
They jump that grind every time they see the headlines
Too much like sheep to think for themselves and led astray
Change that channel and break this neon thread
Gotta think away these magnets in my head
Bridge:
When you flame out tonight
Hide in the shadows and stay just out of sight and pull that trigger

I Think She Loves Me

Sunday I'll go back for more
The girl's just like a candy store
Even though she never liked my shoes
Her persistence takes away my blues
Ooh Ooh, Ooh, Ooh Ooh, I think she loves me
I spent my last dime on Armageddon
But she says I'm still going to heaven
And I threw all my dreams away
But she still lets me sleep all day
Ooh Ooh Ooh, Ooh Ooh, I think she loves me
Yeah ah ah, ah ah, you know I do
There ain't nothing I wont do to wreck it all
But she don't mind again erasing all the writing on the wall
On the wall
Someday when she's had enough
I'll take five and sober up
But probably it'll be too late
There'll be no more roads to navigate
Ooh Ooh Ooh, Ooh Ooh, I think she loves me
Yeah, ah, ah ah, you know I do
Ooh Ooh Ooh, Ooh Ooh, I think she loves me
Yeah, ah, ah ah, it might be true

Western Sky

Verse
I was a young man trying to find my way back home
Finally wondered on the road I’d waited for
I felt the rope that I had found pull me too far
Away from everything that makes us who we are
Chorus
Staring from the corner of her bed
Leaving all these demos in the wind
Like the first time I saw danger in her eyes
When the dawn is up I’ll miss her western sky
Verse
I never wondered where the time went till today
And did I live enough or watch it slip away
I found the answer caught between the lies and truth
Your intentions tend to bleed all over you

Evangeline

|
Verse
Well I walked her home, darkest night
Cause sometimes what feels wrong is right
She whispered every word, I didn't expect
Rolled all around my head like a five car pile up wreck
I said alright
Cause I believe in miracles, and TV movie scenes
Chorus
Evangeline, Evanegeline
You're in my dreams, Evangeline
Verse
Empty pockets and a broke radio
But her voice still sings like a new ringtone
NYC and Nashville still too cold
And all the girls in Portland, they're just skin and bone
But she's alright
Cause I believe in miracles and perfect sunset scenes
Evangeline, Evangeline
You're in my dreams, Evangeline
Bridge
I can't help but try and fight it
But I gave in cause I can't hide it, Evangeline
Verse
Well I made my way to San Antone
Where she pulled me down like a sinking stone
Left me stranded in a fade dream and I woke up with a stranger
Chorus
Evangeline, Evangeline
You're in my dreams, Evangeline

Tattooed Babies

|

|
Why do we sit and question ourselves
Waiting to hear the voice of false kings
So often wrong and never in doubt
Forever caught up in the games they play
Why do we live our lives in chains
Tattooed babies in the pouring rain
Wrestle with the guilt inside
Tattooed babies live their life in vein
I saw a man man alone on a roof
Trying to find some peace in his mind
And then they came and took him away
Now he lays dying inside this cage

Michael Mastro Cleveland, Ohio
Michael grew up around influences of classic rock, pop and jazz. Early on he was exposed to a variety of musical styles from Grand Funk, Parliament Funkadelic, Jimi Hendrix, Sinatra, Steve Earle and everything in-between. "I remember making my dad buy me the Parliament album with Maggot Brain on it because I was the kid who was fascinated by the song with the cool guitar sound and solo." ... more
