VERSE
My feet run through suburbia
Trying to rid me of absurd ideas
Quiet, quiet, quiet I try to find
But maybe it’s the calm before the storm
When all the desperate housewives go to war
CHORUS
Can you feel me?
‘Cause I’m walking blindly into the storm
Can you feel me?
‘Cause I’m walking blindly into the storm
Into the storm, Into the storm
VERSE
Psychosomatic tendencies
A symptom we’re all ill at ease
And there’s a strange catharsis in cleaning the garage
And the boys are taught to be well-oiled machines
But there’s a restless ticking time bomb underneath
Repeat CHORUS
BRIDGE
Consume it up to fill the void
We’re skeptical ‘til paranoid
But Golden Handcuffs keep us in
This quiet desperation
A sundial in the moonlight
We’re all off course with blinded sight
Anger stirs with no outlet
Condemned to repeat all the steps
We hover with no safety net
The bleeding comes, the bleeding lets
Repeat CHORUS

Written by Leah West & Ryan Donn
VERSE - Am, F
Let’s get back, to where we began,
Back on track, we've been blowing in the wind
Set sail without an anchor, watched the shoreline fade
Let’s return and find our love again
CHORUS - G, F
‘Cause I want you (and nobody else)
It’s got to be you
Let’s give it a chance
Let’s give it a chance
VERSE - Am, F
Do you remember when, Candles lit our way
On a snowy new years eve, at the cabin by the lake
We kindled a connection, We thought sealed our fate,
We forgot to feed the fire, now it’s smothered in the rain
CHORUS - G, F
But I want you (and nobody else)
It’s got to be you
BRIDGE - Am, F
It's not thirst or hunger
It's something stronger
That draws me back tonight
Confessing my soul
Baring it all
Do you still want me in your life?
CHORUS - G, F
Yes I want you (and nobody else)
It’s got to be you (and nobody else)
Yes I want you (and nobody else)
It’s got to be you
Let’s give it a chance...

Performed by Leah West
Arrangement by Leah West & Marty Rifkin
I’ve seen the world outside
Like wolves at the door
The raging sea rising higher than before
But this stillness I have inside is presently mine
Chorus:
Yes every now and then I feel the weight is lifting off of me
Yes every now and then it seems that we can still be free
At peace with myself like seldom before
I won’t feel guilty for not fighting this war
See those people cry, will come our turn
The planet’s in grief
We’ve got so much to learn
There’s more to the screen than meets the eye
People like you and me are allowed to know why
Chorus:
So every now and then I do get affected by what’s going on
Yes I hear the roaring anger, don’t get me wrong
Yes every now and then I want to reach out
and take the world in my hands
Cause every now and then believe it or not
I think I understand
I believe love is a must, domination is a lack of lust
And how many times do you breathe in deep?
How many smiles do you honestly mean?
Is silence something that deprives you from sleep?
Why not counting instead of killing those imaginary sheep?
I pray for your relief
Chorus:
Every now then I feel the weight is lifting off of me
And every now and then it seems we can still be free
And every now and then I need to see that
look in my loved ones’ eyes
Cause every now and then I wake up
But the dream, it never dies

VERSE I
I know that this is for the best
Life ebbs and it flows, it wakes and it rests
Even though you took life’s hardest test
You always said that you were blessed
Winter’s snow takes the autumn’s colors away
I must admit my world’s been cold and gray
What do I do with this empty space?
Give me the strength to let your soul move on to a better place
VERSE II
In the night I cry your name out loud
Even though you float way above the clouds
I can hear you calling down
For me to move, move on now
But, letting go doesn’t mean that my heart didn’t break
Letting go doesn’t mean that my hands still don’t shake
Oh how I miss your warm embrace
Give me the strength to let your soul move on to a better place
BRIDGE
Walk towards the light
Walk towards the light
It’ll be alright
VERSE III
A photograph of your smiling face
Inspires me to live full each day
I picture you so full of grace
Give me the strength to let your soul move on to a better place
Give me the strength
Give me the strength to let your soul move on to a better place

VERSE
I’m going down to walk that line
For years I rest my head in this prison of mine
This old heartache has metastasized
Into this rusty head and rendered me blind
There’s a mad sea rising in these eyes
CHORUS
Tonight, tonight a hard rain is gonna fall
And time will humble us all
VERSE
The cracks have opened wide, revealed their scars
When our skeletons emerge, they redefine who we are
A derailed train runs through your heart
The remedy outruns, outsmarts
Like trying to chase a shadow in the dark
CHORUS
Tonight, tonight a hard rain is gonna fall
And time will humble us all
Bridge
Il arrive parfois qu’en recherchant la perfection
nous détruisons quelque chose qui était déjà parfait
VERSE
Smoke signals rise in the winds of change
No one wants it all to be in vain
A wanderer for all eternity
Once you see, you’ll never be the same
Once you see, you’ll never be the same

VERSE I
It’s been one of those days
When I’m lost in a maze
And I’m coming apart at the seams
And I’m so freaking tired
But on caffeine I’m wired
And worry will keep me from sleep
PRECHORUS
I’m too tired to even cry
So instead I’ll sing this punch drunk lullaby
VERSE II
It seems that there’s drama
Around every corner
Well, I’ve got enough of my own
But these thoughts they keep haunting me
What do you want I plead?
Why won’t you leave me alone?
PRECHORUS
I’m too tired to reason why
So instead I’ll sing this punch drunk lullaby
CHORUS
Oh Lovely, you’re getting sleepy
VERSE III
When I was a little girl
I thought that the world was where
Princes rescued the dame
But I figured out all the lies
And learned how to compromise
But I think that that is so how it is
PRECHORUS
But I’m too insane to give up this fight
But not insane enough to claim I’ve lost my mind
Perhaps it’s best I stick to singing lullabies
CHORUS
Oh Lovely, you’re getting sleepy

VERSE
Huddled in clothes in my humble abode
One block from Rue St Laurent
In this bustling town you can drown in the sound
Yet still be deaf to hear the words
We grow gardens of chaos eat junk to sustain us
Build walls to maintain the façade
Passion grows in my fist
How I long to be kissed
By a stranger who promises to be closer to God
CHORUS
Tell me how in a world full of 7 billion people
can I feel so alone
In the river of life most get carried away
But me, I sink like a stone
VERSE
I’m no heroine, they told you lies
Pulled a silky veil over your eyes
It’s become that the system it raises our children
Not a blessing, not a curse
But some have forgotten to ponder these problems
And I can’t decide which is worse
Repeat CHORUS
BRIDGE
And we’re purging these emotions
What’s emerging is this notion
So we’re hoping and we’re praying
That tomorrow we’ll be saved
Repeat CHORUS

VERSE
Ticker tape parade
The bright lights of Broadway
Café au lait
On a Sunday morning
Under a café awning
The future at our fingertips
Naïveté on our lips
Lean in for a kiss
After the perfect date
CHORUS
We were woven into the hope
Of this kaleidoscope
VERSE
Singing “Ninety-Nine Red Balloons”
Laughing hysterically in my living room
We danced all night that night under the light of the moon
CHORUS
We were woven into the hope
Of this kaleidoscope
BRIDGE
One day it all came to an end
I moved so far away, never saw you again
But I wonder if you wonder where I am
Breakdown
This nostalgia seems to find me
The memories live inside me
CHORUS
We were woven into the hope
Of this kaleidoscope
