when God knows
who we truly are

what we are

all worth 
out in the open

no longer
justify existence

the bane of our small bungalow

Once was wretched
Was charged with stealing a pie
And the penalty under the law says that Richard must die

She was just a girl yet hurting so;
In a school where he worked;
She was full of fear and doubt;
So scared to try to figure it out;

Back there where no one can find it
I am so torn apart

No one knows who I am
There's nothing left for me
I have...

If you escaped unhurt, then be really glad
For the attitudes would...

IV.
The bandits jolted as slugs struck home hard,
only one was able to shoot back,
Meredith’s horse reared, and tossed her off,
she slammed to the ground and lay flat.

The thugs slumped lowed and slipped right off their...

They lined the road on St. Kitts
Deep in their hearts they carried a load
They lined the road on St. Kitts

Waiting on word from...

Delusion of Grandeur! I know not
Maybe i'm high,maybe not

But burnin' in me are now the flames
once drenched in mournful tears,
