I See Everything

I See Everything
Walking in the darkness
No light in the skies
I see the magic in their eyes
True love is the only thing
That moves us to the light
Everything will be all right
Everybody’s counting
On nothing being true
Everyone seems so blue
I see everything
I see everything
Salvation is the goal here
No chance for it to be
Everybody looks but no one sees
People think I see it all
I only know what’s real
I just want everyone to heal
I’m not the only one
That has this sight
Knowing between wrong and right
I see everything
I see everything
Know your faith is hopeless
That man in the sky
But no one seems to know why
I can see the forest
You can see the trees
People get off your knees
We can find some meaning
In everything we see
Love is there for you and me
I see everything, I see everything
I see everything, I see you

TODAY
We can walk through this life alone
We can love and lose and atone
But I want you by my side
Pain and loss come every day
We can't make them go away
But I want you by my side
I want to see the sunlight land on your face
I can't believe we ever found this place,
Today
We can never leave the past behind
Our dark deeds were so unkind
But I want you by my side
We found each other but it’s not too late
Surrounded by love we fight the hate
Yeah I want you by my side
I want to see the sunlight land on your face
I can't believe we ever found this place,
Today
Dark corners wait up ahead
Don't let them come into your head
But I want you by my side
We walk together into the sun
Our new lives have just begun
I always want you by my side
I want to see the sunlight land on your face
I can't believe we ever found this place
I want to see the sunlight land on your face
I can't believe we ever found this place,

When They Lie
04:44
|
|||
When They Lie
Love becomes hate
In the span of the moment
And everything works
Or maybe it doesn’t
No one will know
If we don’t ever tell ‘em
I can’t complain
When they try to bless ‘em
I can’t believe it
I can’t believe it
No I can’t believe it, When they lie
We walk the Roman steps
Into the land of the gods
Others will look away
No more odds and sods
Bring ‘em to the ground
Make them feel your love
We hold back the meaning
And we never look above
I can’t believe it
I can’t believe it
No I can’t believe it, When they lie
Keep on marching
Make your hearts bleed
For the blood of the dawn
And we know the need
Our brains ache anew
As we listen to the noise
Begin to move forward
Leave the rest to the boys
I can’t believe it
I can’t believe it
No I can’t believe it, When they lie
I can’t believe it
I can’t believe it
No I can’t believe it, When they lie

Never Believe
04:07
|

Never Believe
Memories, floating through my head
A cloudless night, lays ahead
The prophets talk, about a man in the sky
I always say I don’t know why
The bible tells tales, of love and war
Faith and hate, and there’s so much more
Kill your wife, kill your son
For their actions, can’t be undone
You’ll Never Make Me A Believer
No I’ll never believe
The pain of millions, troubles my heart
The lies of the prophets, it’s not a start
Feed the hungry, heal the sick
It’s only love, it’s not a trick
Who truly does walk the walk
Cares for others, isn’t all talk
Don’t try to show your penance
Feel the love, feel the transcendence
You’ll Never Make Me A Believer
No I’ll never believe
You’ll Never Make Me A Believer
No I’ll never believe
Don’t let your guilt run wild and free
Just feel the love, and try to be
Just feel the love, and try to be

I Won't Be Your Man

I Won’t Be Your Man
I won’t be your man
I won’t be your man
I won’t be your man
I won’t be your man
I see you coming, coming my way
You’re wasting your time, wasting my time
I don’t need you in my life
You’ll never be mine, never be mine
I can’t be your savior
I’m not gonna be your everything
I won’t be your hero
I don’t need the baggage you bring
I see the look in your eyes
And you’re wasting your time
I see you staring back at me
But you’re not mine
I won’t be your man
I won’t be your man
I won’t be your man
I won’t be your man
Baby I can tell you
You’re simply not, not for me
Anything I want in my life
Is coming my way, yeah is coming my way
If there’s something, something you need
Look somewhere else, yeah look somewhere else
I’ve got another woman, oh yeah
For whom my heart melts, whom my heart melts
I see the look in your eyes
And you’re wasting your time
I see you staring back at me
But you’re not mine
I won’t be your man
I won’t be your man
I won’t be your man
I won’t be your man
I won’t be your man
I won’t be your man
I won’t be your man
I won’t be your man
I won’t be your man
I won’t be your man
I won’t be your man
I won’t be your man

Who Are You To Keep Us In Line
I’m tired of this world making a fool of us
We gotta fight back and end this fuss
Nothing happens when we ignore the lies
Isn’t it sad when we hear their cries
Bring radio silence, it’s the only way
Here we go, you know what they say
Ride ‘em hard and ride ‘em fast
It’s all we can do to make it last
Who are you to keep us in line
Who are you to say it’s all fine
Death is nothing to someone who lives
Life is something to those who give
Keep on moving, moving along
Keep on singing, singing that song
We never learn to handle the strife
Keeping time as we march through life
Can’t keep our thoughts in our head
We lash out and love the hate instead
Who are you to keep us in line
Who are you to say it’s all fine
Drop the hate to live another day
Drop the hate, and we can all stay
Make the peace and make them see
That we all count, and still be free
Tell the truth, hope the lies will die
Only the truth, they’ll soon know why
Keep the love, is what we say
Drop the hate, and we can all stay
Who are you to keep us in line
Who are you to say it’s all fine
Who are you to keep us in line
Who are you to say it’s all fine

Come Back For Me

Come Back For Me
In my dreams. It’s you that I see
In my heart, you’re feeling me
You’ve been gone, so very long
And I don’t know, what went wrong
I know you’ll come back
I never thought you would go
I know you’ll come back
Come back for me
The time we spent, I can’t forget
The shape of you was heaven sent
A passionate sigh, a melted bliss
I never knew, it could be like this
I know you’ll come back
I never thought you would go
I know you’ll come back
Come back for me
Remember that time you cast your spell
Even then I knew, that all was well
Our love was real, and we knew it was so
I never thought that you would go
I know you’ll come back
I never thought you would go
I know you’ll come back.
Come back for me
Try as I can, I can’t let you go
Let’s keep on, moving real slow
Don’t let me go, or lose that dream
I want to feel that passion stream
I know you’ll come back
I never thought you would go
I know you’ll come back
Come back for me
I know you’ll come back
I never thought you would go
I know you’ll come back
Come back for me
Come back for me

The Darkness In Me
03:40
|

The Darkness In Me
I feel the darkness in me
With nowhere else to go
I smell the blood of the innocents
But the world will never know
But the world will never know
Fall down with sin
No love in my heart
The slaves in the fields
Not a good start
Love is nowhere
That I’m gonna be
The heart of darkness
So hard to see
I can see, how it’s gonna be
I can see the darkness in me
In me
His eyes are wide shut
Bloodless and cold
Held for ransom
I’m just not that bold
Memory is so short
The road is so long
The past is behind
As I move along
I can see, how it’s gonna be
I can see the darkness in me
I can see, how it’s gonna be
I can see the darkness in me
In me
In me
In me

Into The Void
03:42
|

Into the Void
There’s more time behind me
Than there is ahead
I try to be more social now
But I still feel the dread
I want to recapture the moments yeah
Make me feel so alive
Yet they slip away too fast
Before they arrive
Into the void
Into the void
Into the void, Is where I am
Being creative fills my soul
Plans made, but not met
Scared if I win, scared if I lose
I’m hopeful with some regret
When I look back into my life
Time spent and time lost
I’m so busy and always bored
I can’t believe the cost
Into the void
Into the void
Into the void, Is where I am
Melodies come and melodies go
I can’t pin down the one
The flow is easy, but also hard
And it’s never done
Help me please, unstick my mind
Get me off of this cloud
I know that your love is real
And it makes me so proud
Into the void
Into the void
Into the void, Is where I am

Build Another Mall

Build Another Mall
He walked up to me and said I’m free
I nodded my head and said I believe
He skipped off joyfully down the street
When a car came ‘round and knocked him off his feet
I was gettin’ kind of cold and went into a store
When a thief ran in and said I need more
He asked for my wallet, I told him I had none
So he took everything he could and went on the run
To those who have nothing and to those who have more
What are we doing, what are we fighting for
The illusions are grand but the rewards are small
It’s a cheap way out to build another mall
A little while later a woman walked by
A balloon in her hand and a nasty black eye
She handed me the balloon and told me to wait
She said she was going to a rally and needed to integrate
I went to get a meal and tried to pay cash
The waitress said, honey, that will never last
As I walked out a young man he came undone
Said, everyone on the floor cause I’ve got a gun
To those who have nothing and to those who have more
What are we doing, what are we fighting for
The illusions are grand but the rewards are small
It’s a cheap way out to build another mall

I Can't Stop
I've got nothing, nothing inside
I can't believe it, no where to hide
I can't stop it, I can't complain
What I'm doing, I can't explain
I can't stop
The feeling that I get
The pain you give to me
Your words I won't forget
I can’t stop
No I can’t stop
I'm in trouble, feeling lost
I need a drink, I wanna be sauced
You've done hurt me, wanna be gone
I'm feeling weak, can't be strong
I can't stop
The feeling that I get
The pain you give to me
Your words I won't forget
I can’t stop
No I can’t stop
Where will I go, what'll I do
I keep thinking, thinking of you
I'll find another, yes I will
These hurt feelings, I can kill
I can't stop
The feeling that I get
The pain you give to me
Your words I won't forget
I can’t stop
No I can’t stop
I'm on my way, to another place
I Got new friends, I got a new face
Where I’m going, it’s up to me
I got new places, new people to see
I can stop
The feeling that I get
The pain you gave to me
Your words I’ll soon forget
I can stop
I said I can stop
I said I can stop
I said I can stop

The Blood Of The Lamb
04:38
|

The Blood Of The Lamb
He grew up in love
In a home so hidden
Had all he wanted
Nothing was forbidden
His talent was admired
But he felt like a liar
The girls all wanted him
There was so much desire
Hope and love
It’s what we say
The blood of the lamb
Is the price we pay
Hope and love
It’s what we say
The blood of the lamb
Is the price we pay
The blood of the lamb
Or the wafer and the wine
He was torn between
The glory and the crime
As his fame really grew
His conscience was torn
From Heaven or Hell
His fate was born
Hope and love
It’s what we say
The blood of the lamb
Is the price we pay
Hope and love
It’s what we say
The blood of the lamb
Is the price we pay
He played to his fans
On that fateful night
Out on the street
Nothing was right
His life was taken
By a man with a gun
His soul flew away
Like a cat on the run
Hope and love
It’s what we say
The blood of the lamb
Is the price we pay
Hope and love
It’s just what we say
The blood of the lamb
Is the price we pay
Only sorrow and grief
Remain to this day
Hope and love
It’s what we say
Hope and love
It’s what we say
The blood of the lamb
Is the price we pay
The blood of the lamb
Is the price we pay
The blood of the lamb
Is the price we pay
The blood of the lamb
Is the price we pay

You Know It's True

You Know It’s True
Troubled times, troubled past,
I don’t know what really lasts,
any more
On my way to nowhere,
I don’t know and I don’t care,
any more
But I keep thinking of you.
I hope you know, you know it’s true.
Your love still pulls, pulls me through…it pulls me through
Keep on walking down this lonely road,
with my soul, with my load,
I’m still moving
I see your face in every door,
every day I want you more,
I keep hoping
Cause I, I keep thinking of you.
I hope you know, you know it’s true.
Your love still pulls, it pulls me through…pulls me through
1,2,3,4
The day you left you closed the door,
leaving me with nothing more,
I keep thinking
What we had seemed so real, I remember how you made me feel,
I’m so wasted
Cause I, I keep thinking of you.
I hope you know it makes me blue
There’s nothing more that I can do…I can do

Don't Judge Me
03:27

Don’t Judge Me
I keep running from town to town
There’s not a woman that can hold me down
I like the loving, but I’ll leave you alone
You’ll be mad, but you’ll like my tone…
Like my tone
Now and then I’m outside the law
You gotta know, I like living raw
I’ll cheat and steal, it’s just a game
Love me or hate me, it’s all the same…
It’s all the same
Don’t judge me, this is how I roll
To live my life, you gotta be bold
Don’t judge me, this is how I roll
To live my life, you gotta be bold
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
I hear the lord is coming for me
Here’s hoping he can set me free
Save my life, save my soul
Don’t wanna die before I get old…
Before I get old
Don’t judge me, this is how I roll
To live my life, you gotta be bold
Don’t judge me, this is how I roll
To live my life, you gotta be bold
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah

Scott Leslie Vero Beach, Florida
I’m a self-taught guitarist/songwriter and my influences are from the amazing music of the 60’s and 70's. In the late 60’s/early 70’s I had the good fortune to be a part-time roadie working the DC area, Baltimore, Philadelphia and New York for a number of bands. They included; The Jeff Beck Group, Ten Years After, The Doors, The Who, ELP and many others. So I had some interesting influences. ... more
