Chemical Love ©Laforge/Randall So come gather round me now, I’ll explain how it all came about When I was small, a little girl singing out loud In a simple loving home, where nothing much went on Discovered a treasure, speaking in another tongue It worked like a charm I couldn’t get enough, of Chemical love Chemical love Chemical love And the songs became my friends, a soundtrack for my mind Closed my eyes, drawing lines into the sound And every single dose, carried me farther on It worked like a charm I couldn’t get enough Of radical, magical, mystical Chemical love Chemical love Chemical love We are tied down to the ground with promises lost and found Another time, now I’m trying to leave a trace Put me in the light as the stars begin to rise, rise, rise I’ll never have enough Of Chemical love Chemical love Chemical love

Lullaby 03:56
Lullaby ©Laforge/Randall I hear the voices calling - the voices in my head I’m here to tell a story, one you may have read Words come like a whisper riding on the wind Lullaby, It’s hello and then good-bye Lullaby While we’re busy sleeping, the darkness in your eyes Like stars that hold the secrets hidden by the sky Dreams come to reveal all the tears you cried Lullaby, It’s hello and then good-bye Lullaby, It’s hello and good-bye I’ll take you to the water, slide into the deep The love you thought might save you has let you go adrift I see your questions ‘cause your life’s an open book I won’t give up the details; I’m a fish without a hook Go back to where I came from without a second look Lullaby, It’s hello and then good-bye Lullaby, It’s hello and good-bye Lullaby, It’s hello and good-bye Lullaby, It’s hello and good-bye

Jailor 03:43
Jailor Laforge/Randall I don’t know, which way to go Don’t yet know, the better way I just know that life is getting small The feathers in my wings instead of flying make me fall Life’s my jailor, give me a stay Doesn’t mean much, just one more day I love the water, I watch the waves Tell the wind, “you’re rather like myself” “Run to the water but afraid of getting wet, Running backwards, dancing with regret” Life’s my jailor, give me a stay Doesn’t mean much, just one more day Disappointment, shards of glass You breath them in, set them on a path Feeling nothing as they travel to your heart Split it open, tear your soul apart Life’s my jailor, give me a stay Doesn’t mean much, just one more day Life’s my jailor, give me a stay Doesn’t mean much, just one more day
