If You Throw It All Away
You better believe in something
You’re running out of time
Cause nothing’s ever easy
When You’re feeling half alive
*When
You’re feeling half alive
With one foot in the grave
And nothing is the answer
When you try to act so brave
It’s so easy to do
When there’s nothing left to save
And the answers don’t come easy
If you throw it all away
Throw it all away
You can hardly stand the silence
Makes you feel almost dead
You dream of angels all around you
Yeah they’re dancing in your head
*
Pressure’s all around us
Heart attacks and ice
Cracking in a chorus
Of summer loving lies

Desperate
But Not Defeated
Performed by Quincy Coleman
I’ve
been silenced and strayed from violence
And I’m always the last to know
To feel these feelings I hate concealing
With little left to show
Turn the
page from my inward rage
And catch myself before I blow
Ease the fears and hide the tears
The only place I know to go
If only I didn’t feel mistreated
Desperate but not defeated
I can only hope - I can only
pray
There will come a time I’m not afraid
Now I’ve been tryin’ to stop
the lyin’
To myself and be truly free
Keep my head up when I’ve had enough
And I’m left with only me
If only
this wasn’t repeated
Desperate but not defeated
I can only hope - I can only
pray
There will come a time I’m not afraid

Hard To Take
Performed by Marc Platt
Mixed by Jon Coco
Swag Music Group
childish ways
But I could not let go of you
I tried to be someone I could stand
Not much else I could do
*You
caught me on the way down
You caught me when I was
sprawled out on the ground
And I find it hard to take
With every move I make
Leaves me one step behind
Try to own it but I know it’s mine
I find it hard to take
Tried to let go of my childish dreams
But that would make me untrue
Tried to shut it down, it’s harder than it seems
Always leads me to you
(chorus)
Will you be on my side?
So little time and so much to hide
Tried to let go of the one thing I love the
most
Now I’m back for more
I let the song take me where it wants to go
Leads me to your door
(chorus)

All the other girls don't wanna know my name
Well I guess they think I'm harmless so they play their little games
You know I've always had this thing about you
But it just didn't seem right, there was nothing I could do
I guess you feel it too
Every other that passes gets a little worse
I try so hard to avoid it, It haunts me like curse
You know I've always had this thing about you
But it just didn't seem right, there was nothing I could do
I guess you feel it too
We tried so hard to run
And every time it comes up I know that you're the one
I guess you feel it too
I've spent a lot of years trying to figure
you out
I guess those years weren't wasted you're still hanging around
You know I've always had this thing about you
But it just didn't seem right, there was nothing I could do
I guess you feel it too

Forever
Performed by Steve
Kobashigawa
I was hoping for a chance to settle down
But that was just an excuse to be hanging around you
I've gotta figure this out
Until there's no more doubt
Forever is a long time
Forever is it the end of the line?
Forever is a long, long time
I guess maybe I was looking for more than
just a friend
You know I thought we'd see this thing straight through to the end
The end came too soon
I guess we changes the tune
Forever is a long time
Forever is it the end of the line?
Forever is a long, long time
And now I look back almost every day
And I wonder why it has to be this way
We said we'd make it last
It disappeared so fast
Forever is a long time
Forever is it the end of the line?
Forever is a long, long time
