-=Coast is Clear=- by Cris Williams
They say this is only a test
Ask, "you want more?" and say
hell yes
Not sure how we got here
But one day soon the coast will be clear

-=Recent History=- by Cris Williams
Songs and history are universal
Apply to more than me
Today, I'm feeling selfish
Today, you are free
So baby, this one's for me
Practiced every line I would say
For the first time it all came out that way
I know nothing is easy
I've learned no one is what they seem
But today, baby, this one's for me

-=Want to Be Wrong=- by Cris Williams
Today anyone that I may meet
Will turn out to be crazy and disappoint me
Today things will keep going this way
Same stuff, another day, no one hears a
word that I say
I want to be wrong this time
So tired of being alone but right
So sick of I told you so and reading my lines
I want to be wrong this time
-=Tightrope=- by Cris Williams
Would you still love me
When I'm completely unbalanced
Stand below me
As I walk this tightrope
One false step and I'm gonna go over
Not on a ledge now
I walked this far on purpose
-=Back to Me=- by Cris Williams
I'm "not myself"
For so long now
The bigger question
Did I forget how?
Someone remind me
Show me where to find me in here
Someone remind me
Show me where to find me here
-=Stand Alone=- by Cris Williams
I gave up a long time ago
Trying to figure out how to be beautiful
There is a secret and I just don't get it
The pretty people all fired up together
If it's lie or stand alone
I'd rather be alone
-=More Than Regret=- by Cris Williams
Life’s not fair
I just want to share
More than regret
Hearts so full of ice
Not sure we can try
I see what you’re keeping
I feel what you’re doing to yourself
-=Back to Me Lullaby=- by Cris Williams
The world comes crushing in
And my castles turn to sand
You never turned your back to me
Came back to me
You'll never be somewhere in between
If you don't make that journey
Sleep tight, baby
It'll be alright, baby
So there, there
-=You Know Me Better Than=- by Cris Williams
You know me better than
And you saved me from myself
When I feel like they've taken it
You remind me there's innocence left
-=Better Side of Waiting=- by Cris Williams
Thought I would know
Like children calmly
Touch the hand of their new best friend
Thought that I could explain it
Terrified but I'm
Doing the best I can
I have waited for you
Now that you're here
I don't know what to do
Sounds insincere
Like that recurring dream where you're
falling and wake up
Before you land
I have waited for you
-=Think it Through=- by Cris Williams
Don't get mad
I won't crack the door
Know your face
Seen your kind before
The energy vampires
Will leave without what they came for
If I refuse to answer
I have nothing nice to say
If I decline to speak
You'd best stay out of my way
-=Change to Come=- by Cris Williams
Just stepped down from
My public relations post
In this war
Fought very nicely
In civilized coats but
I believe a change will come
I believe in doing what's right
And if that's not good enough
Or if you don't like it
I won't give up this fight
-=Hold the Empire=- by Cris Williams
Happy Birthday to me
Hear I’ll be 30
I suppose by this stage
I should complete an evaluation
So here’s to my complicated people
We look you straight in the eye
Know what it takes every day
Build back the landslides
Hold the empire
-=Not Today=- by Cris Williams
Yes, in fact it is perfect
I may be broken but I'm the best
Piece it back together No contest
Oh I told you so I told you so
Some days you're better off alone
Just don't lose the keys to home
Not today
-=Tuesday's Train Wreck=- by Cris Williams
Tuesday's train wreck
Some days are just a mess
On these days the best it gets
Tell the fiends from your friends
