I'm not him

(Howard Aronson)

This is a fictitious lyric that a lot of people probably can relate to it's about a kid that grows up in a family with a very honest hard-working mom and an alcoholic dad who's nothing but an asshole and a lousy father. I had a couple of friends going up and I knew this was the situation, sort of made me think about writing a song. It's it's about no one in particular but I'm sure that a lot of people can relate to it. It's unfortunate that this is the way someone has to grow up, and I definitely hear these stories in meetings that I go to for recovery

When I was growing up All I remember was pain Like a nightmare Everyday was the same My mother did all the work To pay all the bills And my father did nothing Except drink is fill Now I'm not him I guess that's a win Now I'm not him Livin a life of sin I don't know how she did it Every night a fight He never said I love you The man was not right a There was nothing I could do Nothing I could say My dad was an asshole And he still is today Now I'm not him I guess that's a win No I'm not him Live in a life of sin I'm not him I'm not him I'm not him I'm not him

Lost

By Howard Aronson

There have been many times in my life that I felt lost, and would never find my way back. Depression, and a lack of a meaningful relationship was a big reason. Also my perceived notion, that I wasn't liked and head no friends was another reason. I think my BiPolar and Anxiety played a huge roll.

You tore us apart

By Howard Aronson

This lyric is about a superficial relationship that I was in. My GF at the time would never talk about what she was feeling. She never could get deep, and tell me how she really felt. Everything was always light, and my wanting of a real discussion was met with resistance and disdain. Eventually this lack of intimacy tore us apart.

All alone with my phone

By Howard Aronson

When I was using drugs, I knew deep down that I was a good guy, but I might have been the only one at the time. I used to sit in my house and get high and look at my phone and wonder why no one ever called me. Besides my mom and once in awhile my sister the phone just didn't ring. It was always me who had to make an outgoing call, and sometimes the person that I called never even called back. You see, no one wants to be around someone who's doing drugs, especially when they have lots of potential, people just get fed up. That's what happened to me. So I guess the question was should I even have a phone, because what good was it. We all know that in today's day and age your phone is used for much more than just a phone call. But I could have done all that on my laptop, LOL. I guess this song has a serious tone to it as well as a quirky or comedic side. But there's nothing funny about sitting home alone doing drugs. It's a very sad existence, you're not living life at all. Above all you know it's not right, and the times you just wonder if you'll ever get out of that situation. You always thought you were a first-rate guy, but when you're doing drugs you're nowhere near first rate and maybe not even second rate.

Soul

By Howard Aronson

This lyric is about giving too much in a relationship, and then finding out that it was all in vain. I've been in these situations before or I've given way too much and was left with nothing but an empty feeling. When you give too much you lose control, and you give away your soul, you give away your dignity and self respect. I thought I was the nicest guy in the world, but she thought I was too nice, and not a "challenge". Sounds like a psychological game, and it probably is. But most times, nice guys finish last.k

Emotional Highway

By LaDena Laine

Life is like a highway. We can take a break and get off of it for a time but we always need to get on it again. There will be up's and down's as we travel it.

Sure Victory

By Stanley Chris

This is a song of triumph, expressing faith in an all-powerful God Who is more than able to keep us safe in perilous times such as these in which we find ourselves. The Verses speak of His Word is a lamp and a light in darkest of times (Psalm 119:105), and a tower we can run to when the fight lands at our door. Because of such blessed assurance, we have a response of faith-proclamation in the Chorus, committing our lives unreservedly into His almighty hands, where He has inscribed our names, and where we are sheltered by His love. In His unfailing arms, His grace covers all our shame, and we have victory over the greatest of fears: death! This confidence in our God is followed up in the Bridge, which borrows heavily from Psalm 91, a famous passage that talks about God's protection for His people that is provided for in the covenant He has with us in Christ.
