I'LL BE RIGHT HERE by The Blackmail Seduction (all rights reserved) When you feel all alone I'll be right here When you fall far from home I'll be right here And when you feel invisible I'll be right here When life it breaks you down I'll be right here Your voice a lonely sound I'll be right here When things don't turn out like you planned I'll be right here you don't know where to go I'll be right here Question all that you know I'll be right here Through all highs and the lows I'll be right here And when you're feelin' small I'll be right here Your back's against the wall I'll be right here And when you don't know where to turn you don't know where to go I'll be right here Question all that you know I'll be right here Through all highs and the lows I'll be right here Tired of your own voice, fell behind a choice when you're sick of compromise When you fall from grace, mirror doubts your face you've been cut back down to size And when it seems I've gone I'm still right here You'll find me in this song I'll be right here And when you don't know where to turn When things don't turn out like you planned And when you feel invisible you don't know where to go I'll be right here Question all that you know I'll be right here Through all highs and the lows I'll be right here

CALIFORNIA JACKPOT by The Blackmail Seduction (all rights reserved) On the third day he rises, like a Phoenix from the ashes on the 7th day he pretends Well he's no Jesus, even that depends on the 7th day he pretends It's been a long ride and today his luck is changin' Stars line up, California jackpot epiphany with a high noon snapshot Next day he rises, worldview is changin' and another day he pretends It's been a long ride and today our luck is changin' Stars line up California jackpot epiphany with a high noon snapshot 3000 miles to find out who you're not Stars line up California You'll find the long way home, turn around you're already gone Stars line up California jackpot epiphany with a high noon snapshot 3000 miles to find out who you're not Stars line up in California

HOLD YOU DOWN by The Blackmail Seduction (all rights reserved) Feel free to take down my pictures Don't need me hangin' around Those happy times are now memories and memories hold you down Hold you down, Hold you down Memories keep you bound Can't repair the damage now Hold you down, Hold you down Try to scream without a sound Don't you let me hold you down You take your eye off the rearview your level best to forget But it's a fact that I've changed you can't get me out of your head I hold you down, hold you down Memories they keep you bound can't repair the damage now Hold you down, Hold you down try to scream without a sound Don't you let me hold you down You justify what you need to try long enough in your head Your quiet house is now haunted A part of me is now the living dead I hold you down, hold you down Memories they keep you bound can't repair the damage now Don't hold me down, hold me down too late to scream about it now I won't let you hold me down

ARE YOU WITH ME by The Blackmail Seduction (all rights reserved) Tonight, I reach out for someone to help me feel anything but numb Sometimes, we all want more than we've got but I've got bullets to spare, let's give this new gun a shot I can't say no, losing control Are you with me tonight, feels like we've been here before Just one more time and then we'll kick this out the door Are you with me tonight, cuz I can't feel this anymore Live forever tonight, cuz that's all we've ever asked for More I get the looser I feel The more I breathe the harder I deal It's what you learn to impress your friends You catch your fix and the fun never ends I can't say no, who's in control Are you with me tonight, feels like we've been here before Just one more time and then we'll kick this out the door Are you with me tonight, cuz I can't feel this anymore Live forever tonight, cuz that's all we've ever asked for Show me a sign, that I'm not alone Relapse, rewind on and on and on Crossed the line, I'm all but gone Disaster taking over just what I need to feel more alive Are you with me tonight, like we've been here before, are you with me tonight Just one more time and then we'll kick this out the door Are you with me tonight, cuz I can't feel this anymore Live forever tonight, cuz that's all we've ever asked for

Friends 03:56
FRIENDS by The Blackmail Seduction (all rights reserved) Looking over photographs of my childhood days seeing how much I've changed Things were much simpler then, not much like today but some things remain My friends are here for today they will never go away My friends are here looking for tomorrow but don't forget about yesterday Sometimes we go our separate ways, and miles apart but to me, we're still OK We've been through it all, more than we should but somehow we made our way My friends are here for today they will never go away My friends are here looking for tomorrow but don't forget about yesterday One day we'll find ourselves a long way from here Tonight we raise a toast to all that are near Never will I feel down when I look back at the friends I've found And things may come between us every now and again but no need to worry Cuz everything we've seen and everywhere we've been let's me tell the story My friends are here for today they will never go away My friends are here looking for tomorrow but don't forget about yesterday Don't forget about yesterday

War At Home 07:06
WAR AT HOME by The Blackmail Seduction (all rights reserved) As the casualties mount I crouch here behind enemy lines Bitten tongue and self-doubt A conscious choice to avoid all signs Drag your dark waters some more take your poison down with the ship There are no winners in this war on this degradation trip You have so many ways to break a man You fight your war I'll fight mine Fight your war alone There's no time for taking sides in a losing battle You fight your war I'll fight mine Fight your war alone There are no winners in this war at home Watch you slowly black the light while I try to clear the haze Set to wage the final strike know full well the end of days You have so many ways to break a man You fight your war I'll fight mine Fight your war alone There's no time for taking sides in a losing battle You fight your war I'll fight mine Fight your war alone No one's a winner in this war at home
