Nothing To Say - R. Johnson You racked your credit cards Self righteous monologue Riding along on your pity train Drank through this crying stream Walked out on everything Cowardly man you proved to be You want forgiveness from me But... I got nothing to say to you (You got to figure it out) I got nothing to say to you Got nothing to say Underhanded little sneak But you aren't fooling me You gotta grow up to wanna change Excuses limiting Cheers to not bothering Just hide yourself and run away You want forgiveness from me But... I got nothing to say to you (You got to figure it out) I got nothing to say to you Nothing to say Solo I got nothing to say to you (You got to figure it out) I got nothing to say to you Nothing to say (c) 2011 Rock Johnson Music.

Happy 04:54
Happy? - R. Johnson I know you must have your reasons Still trying to figure you out I've spent some time with your demons And took an alternate route Everyone here Everyone knows your name But no one's calling it out And everyone's clear Everyone feels the same About you now You got everything you want But it's not making you happy Pretty little victim with a smoking gun Taking all you can from everyone But it's not making you happy Not making you happy Not making you happy Nobody's pity will save you It's something that you've gotta want Motives transparent & shallow They've finally come back to haunt And everyone here Everyone knows your name But no one is calling it out And everyone's clear Everyone feels the same About you now You got everything you want But it's not making you happy Pretty little victim with a smoking gun Taking out your hatred on everyone But it's not making you happy Not making you happy Not making you happy Solo Everyone here Everyone knows your name But no one is calling it out Everyone's clear Everyone feels the same About you now You got everything you want But it's not making you happy Pretty little victim with a smoking gun Blaming all your problems on everyone But it's not making you happy Not making you happy Did you wanna lose yourself Did you wanna lose yourself You could if you we're stronger If you were better If you were better (c) 2011 Rock Johnson Music.

Hooked 04:17
Hooked - R. Johnson Open up the skies Let it shine over me Not fighting back this time Something good Something real good's arrived From out of nowhere There you were Like my addiction I'm hooked Casting lines nowhere Then suddenly I feel the pull No doubt about it I'm hooked The world is ours tonight All that matters is you an I Sometimes it just feels right No going back, no going back tonight From out of nowhere There you were Like my addiction I'm hooked Casting lines nowhere Then suddenly I feel the pull No doubt about it I'm hooked Solo From out of nowhere There you were Like my addiction I'm hooked Casting lines nowhere Then suddenly I feel the pull No doubt about it I'm hooked (c) 2011 Rock Johnson Music.

Dirty Love 02:35
Dirty Love - R. Johnson You strut in All strung out You got style Ain't no doubt Original Heart of stone No steppping on this black widow It's really not a hard decision To give it all away To give it all away It's really not a hard decision To give it all away To give it all away I've had enough of this dirty love Of this dirty love I've had enough of this dirty love Broken in Sunken eyes Fallen for every line Cut the edge Another drink Disposable in misery It's really not a hard decision To give it all away To give it all away It's really not a hard decision To give it all away To give it all away I've had enough of this dirty love Of this dirty love I've had enough of this dirty love (c) 2011 Rock Johnson Music.

Sonic 03:48
Sonic - R. Johnson Say you wanna live in infamy A constant life of extacy But things never quite work out that way... Do they? Fight the pull of gravity That's sucking life from out of me Why must we fight for things we love daily Do you wanna give it? Or do you wanna give it away? Can't stop, can't stop, can't stop, can't stop at all Do you wanna give it? Or do you wanna give it away? Can't stop, can't stop Say you were always meant to be Someone only you can see Then everyone's life here's illusion anyway Hollow shells dividing me Am I the only one who believes in me Guess we all find out sooner or later Do you wanna give it? Or do you wanna give it away? Can't stop, can't stop, can't stop, can't stop at all Do you wanna give it? Or do you wanna give it away? Can't stop, can't stop, can't stop, can't stop at all Do you wanna give it? Or do you wanna give it away? Can't stop, can't stop, can't stop, can't stop at all Do you wanna give it? Or do you wanna give it away? Can't stop, can't stop Stay in safety, outside brings me down Stay in safety, outside brings me down Do you wanna give it? Or do you wanna give it away? Can't stop, can't stop, can't stop, can't stop at all Do you wanna give it? Or do you wanna give it away? Can't stop, can't stop, can't stop, can't stop at all Do you wanna give it? Or do you wanna give it away? Can't stop, can't stop, can't stop, can't stop at all Do you wanna give it? Or do you wanna give it away? Can't stop, can't stop (C) 2011 Rock Johnson Music.

Remember 05:30
Remember - R. Johnson Not sure how I got here But I'd love to know Really love to know Awakened by a nameless angel With a heart of gold Without knowing who we were We are nothing Without knowing who we were We are nothing You wanna make me You wanna make me whole again So I'll try to remember Try to remember You wanna make me You wanna make me whole again So I'll try to remember Try to remember again Say it was an accident That took my time away from you Through the words of a stranger who loves me I'm putting pieces back in place for you Without knowing who we were We are nothing Without knowing who we were We are nothing You wanna make me You wanna make me whole again So I'll try to remember Try to remember You wanna make me You wanna make me whole again So I'll try to remember Try to remember again Solo You wanna make me You wanna make me whole again So I'll try to remember Try to remember You wanna make me You wanna make me whole again So I'll try to remember Try to remember You wanna make me You wanna make me whole again So I'll try to remember Try to remember You wanna make me You wanna make me whole again So I'll try to remember Try to remember again Solo (c) 2011 Rock Johnson Music.

Tainted Glass - R. Johnson Take this independence Or take this love Can you have it all? (I don't think you) Can have it all Chase this happiness And take the fall Can you have it all? (I don't think you) Can have it all No one ever takes the blame And no ever walks away unscathed You're crying out But no one turns their head your way And no one sees the need to save you Till it's too late to pull through List this false freedom here Dollar buys it all Will you sell it off? (I don't think you) Can sell it off Live these rules And play by them Can you have it all? Tell me how I Can have it all No one ever takes the blame And no ever walks away unscathed You're crying out But no one turns their head your way And no one sees the need to save you Till it's too late for you Spiraling with a brave face Keeps them away As you hide behind tainted glass Left with you vs. you To battle in solitude With no clear winner No one ever takes the blame And no ever walks away unscathed You're crying out But no one turns their head your way And no one sees the need to save you Till it's too late to pull through Take this independence...

Shadows In Blue - Rock Johnson I ain't speaking of forgivness It just ain't working this way You just can't give your time To the things we both can't say But you can't hide in your shadows The sun's gonna give you away Stop trippin baby Keep living for the moment cause it brings the best in you Though I love the way love me Got my own living to do Said we can't live in these shadows The sun's gonna find us someday And I'm thankful for the way you made me Stronger than I ever could dream Every strand of time amazing Saw this from a mile away Don't make it easier today Ain't casting any shadows I've given them all away Cause you can't live in a shadow The sun's gonna find you someday (c) 2011 Rock Johnson Music

Idealistic Undefined - R. Johnson Spent a long time waiting Just relying on faith and Sat and debated It's time to stop running Only holding to a thought Always get what you've already got Staying same on second thought Let's change it I've waited and waited Idealistic undefined Got wasted not faced it Along the lines got left behind I've waited and waited Unrealistic out of time Reflection from the headlights Coming up from behind Like a one man spotlight Solitary walking blind Only holding to a thought Always get what you've always got Staying same on second thought Let's change it I've waited and waited Idealistic undefined Got wasted not faced it Along the lines got left behind I've waited and waited Unrealistic out of time Solo These lines are getting heavy These lies are getting heavy These lines are getting heavy These lies are heavy I've waited and waited Idealistic undefined Got wasted not faced it Along the lines got left behind I've waited and waited Unrealistic out of time Spent a long time waiting (c) 2011 Rock Johnson Music.

Army Of One 04:05
Army of One - Rock Johnson You stare at me As if we'd only Had the nerve to fly away Stranded here As if the only Chance we had has flown away But this reflection lies Outside smothers inside Tonight it's wide open United here remain unbroken Knowing you were meant for something Greater than they'd have you believe No one's gonna hand you something Gotta take it back to be that someone Surrounded by the world's disbelief with an army of one Some see the sun For all it's beauty Embrace it's warmth for colder days Other lives So stuck in shadow Only force a smile when all is gray Hide in cloudy skies Does it make you high To bring the world to you level It's a choice you make to feel this broken Do you really want to be that someone Who's smaller than you'd have you believe Starting now can all be undone Finally gonna be that somone Surrounded now it's time to believe in your army of one Solo But this reflection lies Outside smothers inside Tonight it's wide open United here remain unbroken Knowing you were meant for something Greater than they'd have you believe No one's gonna hand you something Gotta take it back to be that someone Surrounded by the world's disbelief with an army of one (c) 2010 Rock Johnson Music.

Follow It Blind - Rock Johnson Liberation Always the first thought I think of It's on my mind When I open my eyes Explainations Circle the scene around me Like parasites That close my mind It's a long way to here Can't think of slip and fall And I just want it all You called it a coloring of passion Without the lines It's up to you to make it happen Follow it blind Could it be forgiveness Could it be the after glow Could it be the conquest Conquoring the unknown Could it be the misuse Could it be the swan song Could it be intolerance For everything you've done wrong It's a long way to here Make it worth fighting for And I just want more You called it a coloring of passion Without the lines It's up to you to make it happen Follow it blind Validation Confidence coming In shapes of different size From all sides Information Painting a picture Of mistakes over time That's passed me by It's a long way to here It's time to turn it on And I'm already gone You called it a coloring of passion Without the lines It's up to you to make it happen Follow it blind (c) 2010 Rock Johnson Music.

Burn 01:53
Burn - R. Johnson It seems so obvious You're so oblivious Indifference is unnoticed Hatred is contagious I'm on a little trip Temporary numb to pain Smothered in your own creation Wishing you could be the same I hope you can feel it burn I'm dodging daggers Unspoken anger These frozen glances holding captive While I bite the bullet I've been unable To enable a positive reaction Now I'm taking back control again I hope you can feel it burn So underhanded I've got to hand it You really did a number Made off like a bandit Leaving stranded A life abandoned Your fascination overwhelmed All that you demanded I hope you can feel it burn I hope you can feel it burn (c) 2011 Rock Johnson Music.
