Still Hanging On

(Steven Mailer)

The singer is desperate to be heard, to be appreciated to be understood and in the pursuit of acceptance he sacrifices more and more of himself, hanging on to something that was never his to begin with.

Give me flesh because a heart hurts too real. Give me death because it's painful to feel. Give me the tears I wish I could weep give me the secrets you wish you could keep. Give me a moment just to breathe tell me a lie I could hope to believe. Hear me, in the lyrics I write listen to the silence, between beats. Clearly, it's no picnic inside but I'm insisting that I can do more than bleed! Now, I can feel you falling slack all the light's go fade to black and I'm still hanging on! How can you expect me to move on? All my faith has come and gone! I, just waited to be heard for an answer I deserved! And I'm still hanging on! Give me your sneer because your pity’s like hail. Give me your ear because I’ve got a tale Give me the dreams I wish I could chase, give me the scenes you wish you could place! Give me a memory I don’t wanna forget, share with me a moment I won’t live to regret! Feel me, in the seconds we touch hold on to the warmth and wait a bit. For maybe when it’s all too much the storm will relent if we let it! Now, I can feel you falling slack all the light's go fade to black and I'm still hanging on! How can you expect me to move on? All my faith has come and gone! I, just waited to be heard for an answer I deserved! And I'm still hanging on! I’m still hanging on. I, want the heartbeat to be real I, wish the dark could help me feel Maybe if I stay, if I just stay... Maybe if I just keep hanging on I’ll find a place, a place, I belong.

Truth Is In The Goodbyes

By Karlo Čavlović

Abusive relationships are a big problem and in those situations we face some of the worst feelings. You think you're not good enough and you can't do any better so you stay with this abusive person even though it's destroying you. The best option is to leave, as hard as it may seem.

I Wanna Do it All

By Brian Hendrix

Just the way we feel sometimes in love. All the lifetime full of things we can do, we're eager to just do them right away. Everyone has likely felt love with that new-penny shine. This is about that. Someone who wants to do it all with the person they love. I really love the way this chorus came out; it's so catchy yet not derivative.
