Even though the feeling’s torn I still love you Even though you made it wrong I still love you Is it time Is it time Is it time Even though you made me cry I still want you Took me to a broken life I still want you Are you mine Are you mine Are you mine Chorus: Turn down Goodness Street to happiness Turn down Goodness Street In the hollow meaningless I see you there Taking yourself to a place I can not bear In your mind In your mind All this time Are you mine Even though the feeling’s torn I still love you Even though you made it wrong I still love you All this time All this time Are you mine Chorus Music & Lyrics by Erika Bach ©Ⓟ 2010 Erika Bach

Funeral Pyre 06:43
Where was I looking before I could see Never would have thought you could make such a fool of me How can I speak when I can not breathe Through all the lies you’ve been telling me And you can’t take it back And you can’t take it back Chorus: I only had a minute x 3 Before the funeral pyre How did I believe that you felt the way that I feel When I didn’t really know who you are and what you did Never would have thought you could hurt me like this Have me on my knees crying, begging please Chorus I cannot feel how you want me to feel And I cannot say what you want me to say And I cannot love you the way that I did The wheels they turn to run over me You can’t take away how you made me feel You killed me with lies and expect me to see Our life before the funeral pyre All of my life I’ve been loving you in my own way All of your life you’ve been hiding your face from me How did I not see you were always somewhere else Living your own life while I was living it for both of us Chorus I cannot feel how you want me to feel And I cannot say what you want me to say And I cannot love you the way that I did Our love is in the funeral pyre Music & Lyrics by Erika Bach ©Ⓟ 2010 Erika Bach

When the lying starts you look innocent And I believe the words you say Then I find you out And I fall apart While you prove it anyway The day that our love collides To crash into the truth To show the life we hide Beneath the ragged smooth Here Now Chorus: Gave all my love for a cigarette burn Gave it up for a cigarette burn Gave all my heart for a cigarette burn Keeping on waiting for love to end When the crying starts I can’t make it stop Feel my regulator sway You say one more word And I will make it hurt I can’t live through this day The day that our love collides To show the life we hide Now When How Chorus: Music & Lyrics by Erika Bach ©Ⓟ 2010 Erika Bach

Rubber Spine 04:19
Oh my god how could you let me down Decided to live underground Fall deeper into emptiness While we unravel all this mess Sit in the dark until all the lights turn on or someone shakes me Take your dancing girls Your rubber spine And leave me what was always mine Chorus: Misery comes knocking one more time Looking for love, but finds your rubber spine Rubber spine Rubber spine Here is to the thought you never had To every word you never said To living the perfect life But just when everything goes fine I only see your perfect rubber spine Chorus If you’d never lied you’d have the chance to make it right But you know heaven help the guy who doesn’t break because he has a rubber spine Music & Lyrics by Erika Bach ©Ⓟ 2010 Erika Bach

Catatonic 06:13
How can you live with yourself Is this what you were made for All about pleasing yourself Without thinking I might need you Chorus: Need you to love me Need you Come on this isn’t the hardest thing in your life To love the one you say you live for Someone help me see reality Help me save myself from me I’m catatonic I’m catatonic I’m catatonic There’s retribution coming for both of us You, for your lies And me for believing them Lost the desire to be who I thought I was Now I’m a big nothing Chorus Did you ever think that it would hurt so bad Didn’t you think that I was better than that Is it her face you see while you’re touching me Is it her you want while you’re holding me Tell me is it what you really want Tell me is it what you really want Is this what you really want Tell me is it what you really, really want Is it what you really want Do you want to make me unhappy Make me cry Tell me why I’m catatonic I’m catatonic I’m catatonic Chorus I’m catatonic I’m catatonic I’m catatonic Music & Lyrics by Erika Bach ©Ⓟ 2010 Erika Bach

Inside this emptiness I feel the sting of such regret Gave my everything to what I thought was happiness Come to your senses don’t hold on to defensiveness Decide if you want to be tied to the truth Where were you looking while he was deceiving you Challenge the sorrow Lies my kryptonite Now I feel myself falling I feel myself fall I feel myself falling You apologize Feel the release from secrecy But I’ve become so small that I don’t know the I in me Inside this loneliness I look for something I still possess But there is nothing left You have it all My emptiness All your confessions made me ache until I could not breathe Pulled down my fences to get deep into me What were you thinking to lie to me all this time Oh such deception Lies my Kryptonite I was distracted not to notice you had given up Wish you had told me before I found you out I choke with sadness Pain of discovery Can’t you see you’ve made lies my kryptonite Lies my Kryptonite x 4 Your hands are empty You can’t make me love you now You gave me nothing to fill up my heart Come to your senses this is unhappiness Inside the truth lies my kryptonite Music & Lyrics by Erika Bach ©Ⓟ 2010 Erika Bach
7.
Twisted tongue you said it fine The meaning scrambled in my mind Twisted love you made of this Left me clenching both my fists How the hell do we come back after twisting all of that And you say easy Chorus: Easy, Easy Easy, Easy Twisted tongue can’t tell the truth Goes in circles twisted mood Builds a mountain in my way Not to see his twisted days How the hell will we find love After twisting all we have And you say easy Chorus Twisted ego I couldn’t tell you had such fire burning hell You made an island out of lies And gave it back as paradise Twisted mind you made me cry How you’ve twisted up my life Easy Chorus Music & Lyrics by Erika Bach ©Ⓟ 2010 Erika Bach
8.
Wet Kiss 06:19
You want to be up and not be down You want to be high with your feet on the ground You don’t want to run but still be free I don’t want to know how much you hate me When every step you take is wrong Construct the truth and I’ll be gone Recover something that is lost You learned the truth at a cost Chorus: So you leave a wet kiss on my lips To say this is what you love Wet kiss On my lips A wet kiss To say this is what you love This wet kiss I had a belief but it was not true I knew who you were but it was not you You say that you feel that love is real now But I just feel empty anyhow You took my heart and cut it out Fill all my minutes up with doubt I thought you loved me more than this I could not see through the wet kiss Chorus Music & Lyrics by Erika Bach ©Ⓟ 2010 Erika Bach
9.
Eraserhead 06:46
You can touch me if I let you, if I let you back in You can have me if you promise not to do it again You can love me if you show me all the things that you hide You can tell me to go jump if you like Chorus: But I’ve got it in my head that I’m gonna forget you Got it in my head that I just won’t let you Got it in my head Eraserhead Got it in my head Maybe I’ll forgive you Lost the rhythm of the pounding that your lies put me through Ask the devil he could help you to know just what to do Should I leave you like you left me Like you left me for dead Can’t believe in anything that you’ve said Chorus Who looks back at you x 4 Chorus On the edge I’m falling Falling with a knife in my back Got to close to misery You don’t need to tell me that You’re the man who makes me feel like, feel like, feel like I’m dirt You’re looking good remind me who bought you that shirt Chorus Press erase x 2 Who looks back at you x 4 Press Erase Music & Lyrics by Erika Bach ©Ⓟ 2010 Erika Bach
