An infinite number of monkeys, on an infinite number of typewriters wrote

by Tim Hicks
You know I want to
Look the other way
You know I have to
Think of words to say
I never learned to
Work with half a heart
And I don't want to
Cause you to start
If this goes beyond what
expect
Lock me up inside
For nothing's safe within a world where you
Have everything to hide
The things I know will hurt the status that
People will become
But it's not right to go on thinking that
You're helping everyone
What can I do
I want to help
What can I do besides
Help myself
I'm your conscience
But you turn your cheek
I'm your conscience
But you think that I am weak
by Tim Hicks
I cannot understand
Why the sun went down on me
A quiet eulogy
For no one else to see
I cannot understand
Why the sky is blue and green
What do you think it means?
What do you think it means?
And the clock hand's
falling down
Marking when and where
The people touch the ground
Are we ever safe and sound
Selling portions of our lives to make
The real world go 'round
Sun and rain are not to
blame
For problems meant to be
In trust and honesty
In terms of mystery
Time is winding downward for
The lot of us to see
What do you think it means
What do you think it means
I can see you, when you
want me to
I can hear you, if you don't whisper
I can take you, when you want me to
I can sing for, if you'll listen
by Brad Battle
I can see the way you
Look at me
And I am drowning in your eyes
A sea of green
I fall in love to soon
And it's easy to forget
Even though it feels like years
I know we've only just met
But I don't want to fall in love yet
I always dreamt about
the day
I'd kiss your mouth
The feelings that I keep inside
Can be let out
And I always crave the way you
Caress my skin
To fall in love so soon
Would it be a sin
by Brad Boland
How did you learn...
To write so well
To tie your shoes
To ride a bike
To call me a fool
How did you know to find
me here again today
Why did you learn...
To play guitar
To drive a car
To talk like that that
To call me a fool
If it would be alright
I'd like to call you son
I'd like to say I'm sorry for all things I've done
To hurt you
Where did you learn...
To live like that
To be a dad
To raise the kids
To call me fool
by Brad Battle
Bluebird let me fly up
on your wings
Until the fire down below subsides
'Cause I can't handl all the pain that it brings
Without you standing by my side
I need you to be here
in the morning
Until the pain has flown
I need to see you in the morning
'Cause I can't make it on my own
Bluebird will you let
me lean on you
'Cause I'm not as strong as I once was
And I need you here until my life is through
'Cause I can't live without your love
I can't live without you
Don't know why I even tried
I'll always be with you
Until the day I die
On my own
by Tim Hicks
It's like I'm stuck in
this crowded room
With no air left to breathe
And like I'm headed for certain doom
But I know I'm not, I'll be okay but...
I won't lie
No I'm not okay
I won't lie
I'm worried you won't walk away
I wonder if they notice
me
When they're struggling to be done
Underneath the certainty
That I can't do it all, I think I'm gonna fall but...
Why don't you crush me
some more
There's not enough to do
Why can't you crush me somer more
I'm used to it, it's nothing new but...
by Brad Battle
Look in your eyes
I can see that you will always be by my side
Look at the light
I can see that you will never leave me behind
Look at the sky
I can see different shades of blue
Look at the night
I can see different shadows of you
And when the problems
set in
And their lives are filled with sin
And there's nowhere to go
I'll run to you, this I know
There will come a time
When you and I will have to say goodbye
But I'll be alright
Forever are we connected by mind
by Brad Boland
How does it feel
When you know he just don't listen
How does it feel
When you know he just don't care
You're all curled up
On the floor beside the bed
With your hand
Smearing tears across your face
He just don't love you
anymore
He just don't care about you at all
I don't want to be the one to tell you
I'm just the fly that's on the wall
I've seen everything that he's done to you
And I can't take this anymore
What do you think
When he says those words to hurt to you
What do you think
When he lies right to your face
You're all confused
And you don't know what to do
It's all your fault
'Cause you made it your life
by Tim Hicks
As I sit and write my
songs
I think about her in the days of yesterday
And why it hurts that she is gone
And seeing her in picture books
Informally with saddened looks
I look above and wonder
How much time it took
Run from the days where
nothing is said
Fly far away from the hard shaking heads
Hold me from the star that shines
So brightly in the sky
Indifference
Concealing how I really
feel
I smile and wait for wounds to heal, indifferently
The pain won't bother me too long
Steal another sunny day
My patience want to hide away
In places where the clear blue sky can't get it
Follow me into my dream
Where nothing's tearing at the seams
Of clothes that cover people so no one can really see
Put me in this cage again
So I must answer to the men
That keep me staring blankly at the paper and the pen
by Tim Hicks
She looks at me
But won't say a word
Her quiet intentions
Have yet to be heard
She smiles and laughs
But stares at the ground
Glancing at no one
She won't make a sound
'Cause she's a shy girl
With beautiful eyes
And all the potential to shoot for the skies
She's a shy girl
Who looks away
Don't ask her name
'Cause she won't know what to say...
Shy Girl
She touches me
I turn to gold
Mysterious woman
Her life untold
Her long brown hair
Curls in her eyes
She brushes away
All the whispers
And all of the lies
She says that when I smile
I make her laugh
It's things like that that make me smile
I speak the truth
It's all her, it's all her...
by
Brad Boland
We could take a trip
Take a walk
We could do whatever
I just want to talk
Find a place
Sit right down
Make you happy
While you're still around
As we fall into the night
Drink your drink
Smile your smile
I know that I won't
Be with you in a while
As we fall into the night
There's a time when
all you have to do
Is look at me, I just smile
'Cause I know everything's alright
As we fall into the night
Keep you up
I can't sleep
It's just the time I need you
I feel so complete
