Linda Bryant We all do have a blind side. I am in the process of finding mine. Amazing lyrics. Favorite track: The Blind Side.

You've been lookin for a new day One that hasn't come Why don't you look at things a new way And see where it's coming from? Why don't you look inside your heart? It seems the only place to start What are you lookin for? What are you waitin for? There's nowhere left to hide You already ride on the blind side You've been searchin for a new wave But you're too afraid to dive Why don't you give up all that you save And see the whole wolrd come alive? Why don't you look inside your heart? It seems the only place to start What are you lookin for? What are you waitin for? There's nowhere left to hide You already ride on the blind side

Also-Ran 02:41
I've been going nowhere fast All my plans don't seem to last Stuck here living in the past Like my mind's wrapped in a cast What are you doing with yourself? Watching the world go by When you can't put one foot in front of the other What are you doing with yourself? Gotta get it right this time if you don't wanna be just another also-ran Time and time and time again I get lost before I win Watching days begin and end Wondering where the time all went What are you doing with yourself? Watching the world go by When you can't put one foot in front of the other What are you doing with yourself? Gotta get it right this time if you don't wanna be just another also-ran Don't wanna be just another also...

I feel like I should feel something But nothing's making sense I feel like I should feel something It's making me depressed I got a roof over my head, a real nice car A woman in my bed and a big front yard I feel like I should feel something more I feel like I should feel something more Something MORE! I feel like I should be something But nothing's making sense I feel like I should be something It's making me depressed I got a job I can't stand, a real nice phone Some virtual friends that I've never known I feel like I should be something more Something MORE! Am I the only one who feels this way? Am I the only one who feels this way? Am I the only one who feels? Have we lost touch with all that's real? Am I the only one who feels this way? I want something more...

Painkiller 05:00
Feel like no one wants me here Nothing seems to be clear Thinking of the road not taken The one I'm on was forsaken I thought all roads Would lead to you And I feel... No pain Trying to control the rage Living in a graceless age Staring into empty faces Running all the human races Some I won, some I lost Like I lost you And I feel... No pain Echo in a lonely cage Every single word I say Vanishes into the ether Now I'm just a non-believer Think I'll just... Drift away... And I feel no pain...

Nothin 03:55
When I told you I was hurt It didn't mean nothin to you When you sat there and watched me burn It didn't mean nothin to you I did this for myself I didn't do nothin for you When I sang 'til my voice was raw I didn't sing nothin to you Played so hard my skin came off I didn't play nothin to you I did this for myself I didn't do nothin for you I don't do this for my health I do it 'cause I have to Take a good look at yourself And find out what you can do I did this for myself I didn't do nothin for you

The Bottom 04:51
Every day somebody will say "There aint' nothin you can do in the world no more" Prophets of doom all say the same thing And not one thinks he could be wrong But everyone here's in a new situation We count all the faults of an old generation that's come and gone We take what we can, the rest is abated We leave it out there in the wind When you're blowin in the wind Take a look my friend I just hit the bottom I just hit the bottom, low Float along into the abyss If you think you'll miss I just hit the bottom I just hit the bottom, low For a while stay in the same place That's how life gets to be just a bore Daily cycles that we all face Can make life seem more like a chore But everyone here's in a new situation We count all the faults of an old generation that's come and gone We take what we can, the rest is abated We leave it out there in the wind When you're blowin in the wind Take a look my friend I just hit the bottom I just hit the bottom, low Float along into the abyss If you think you'll miss I just hit the bottom I just hit the bottom, low When you're blowin in the wind Take a look my friend...

I know you're not the girl for me But I like you anyway Let's see how high our love can be All the way to outer space I will put you on a rocket Watch you fly over the moon Catch a falling star On the way to Mars In the Twilight Zone with you I know your dad thinks I'm a drag But I like him anyway Let's see what you and me could have Under the milky way I will put you on a rocket Watch you fly over the moon Out among the stars On the way to Mars In the Twilight Zone with you Is this real? Are we dreaming now? Is this real? Or a dream somehow? I will put you on a rocket Watch you fly over the moon Catch a falling star On the way to Mars In the Twilight Zone with you (3x)

Stars 05:17
'Twas a dark night, a Colorado scene Midnight at the movies feels like a dream With their eyes fixed on a big screen Shots echoed through the night while they screamed Even at the bottom you can still see stars As the bodies fell, and the blood spilled People all asked why but they couldn't tell Just a lonely boy with a weak will Not knowing or caring who he's gonna kill Even at the bottom you can still see stars 'Twas a dark night, a Colorado scene Such a horror nobody could have foreseen When the evil comes, it comes without a creed Only purpose is to try those who believe Even at the bottom you can still see stars With a candle light, on a dark night Flames say much more than words might Love's a broken boat, and the river's wide You either sink or you swim to the other side Even at the bottom you can still see stars

Space Jam 06:51
The lead guitar is pretty lyrical, am I right?

Still I Rise 04:07
Down here at the bottom, it's just another day Still I rise, Still I rise Lookin through the window, sky just looks gray Still I rise, Still I rise Walkin through the ghetto, there ain't no hope today Still I rise, Still I rise No help for the helpless, who can't afford to pay Still I rise, Still I rise Still I rise, Still I rise Still I rise, Still I rise Staring at computers begins to hurt my eyes Still I rise, Still I rise Flippin' through the channels, another innocent man dies Still I rise, Still I rise Politicians sell our future, just to see what money buys Still I rise, Still I rise Searchin' for an answer, the media just lies Still I rise, Still I rise Still I rise, Still I rise Still I rise, Still I rise Still I rise, Still I rise Still I rise, Still I rise
