The Words in Italic are is the chorus ok?

ATROCITY
Written by Dan Mukala

Oh how they trusted you
They hung on every word you said
You always had them by the hair (chorus)

Now they're no part of you
That's how you get your kind of thrill
And now I see you everywhere (chorus)


A sad atrocity
Oh, the mystery of life
How do you sleep
How do you sleep at night
And it's a mystery
To see you make that kind of choice
How do you sleep
How do you sleep at night

You took it all for free
It was your kind of recreation
And it never meant a thing (chorus)

And all the hearts that fried
Lying withered on your doorstep
Felt your kind of sting (chorus)

It was everything to them
But to you it was candy
Emotion on a string
Just a walk on your sandy beach
I hope you wake up
Shake up and face your breakup
Break down and feel (chorus)



HIGH
Written By Dan Mukala

Tonight I watched the sky
And saw the stars around me
Fiery constellations
It's oh so dear that
You're not silent
While the world spins on beneath me
Never do I take the time
Just watch the world go flying by
Busybodies never stopping
And just when I resign
I think that I will never see
Your face again (chorus)


Is when you take me high
And let me see Your holy countenance
And free me from the sadness
Of my yesterdays gone by
You take me high
And let me see the face of innocence
I don't know how, I don't know why
But You take me high

When I believe the lie
That You would never want me
I see myself through tainted eyes
And trapped inside the walls of my disguise
Looking for a new beginning
I find the heavy life oh so overbearing
I guess that's why You siad
That I should bear Your yoke upon me
< And like so many times
You take me in Your arms again, and then (chorus)

See the signs and take me high
Find a new beginning
Oh it's such a consolation
That judging from my suffering
It's only for a moment (chorus)



ICE AGE
Written By Dan Mukala

Sign of the times
We see the crimes of a heartless century
How do we deal with
What we feel microcosmic tragedy
Sentiment stealing
Lost our feeling to the soul's demise
Flash of cold lightning kind of frightening
We wake up and realize (chorus)


It's the Ice Age baby, no mistake about it
It's the Ice Age baby, no mistake about it
We stole the script and then we set the stage
For the Ice Age

 All we could want and more
Looking for the ticket to our dreams
All we could want and more
Looking for the fabric in the seams
Feels like suspension
Did I mention of the solid kind
Transient state we seal our fate
We wake up and realize (chorus)

Sentiment stealing
Lost our feeling to the soul's demise
From the cold lightning kind of frightening
We wake up and realize (chorus)



JESUS SHIRT
Written By Dan Mukala

I wanna wear more than just a Jesus Shirt
Like some kind of iron-on to cover up the dirt
To throw away when I feel okay
You're so much more than that to me (chorus)

I wanna wear more than just a Jesus ring
It's so much more that just a sentimental thing
That fades away like yesterday
You're so much more than that to me (chorus)


I want to be your child
So come and walk with me
For more that just a while
So come and talk to me
I know that's Your style
So stay with me
Stay with me forever

 I wanna wear more than just a Jesus chain
Put it on and take it off
I don't wanna play that game
'Cause it comes and goes like shifting shadows
You're so much more than that to me (chorus)

So make a change in me
Come on and do Your thing
'Cause I don't want
To live this way no, no (chorus)

'Cause it comes and goes like shifting shadows
It comes and goes like shifting shadows
Don't wanna come and go
Like shifting shadows
You're so much more than that to me (chorus)




ORIGINAL SIN
Written By Dan Mukala

Politically smart, you call it your art
Spreading your sickness wherever you are
So you pull out the rug on the ground that we stand
Calling it censorship, freedom being banned
You're so bold, you're so brave
Standing on another's grave (chorus)


It's all in the fable you're trying to prove
To justify all of the things that you do
Making your statement again and again
And it's all in the name of original sin

 The screen is your canvas and shock is your tool
Expressing yourself like we're your kind of fool
The colors you choose are the words that you say
Manipulation's the rule of the day
You're so bold, you're so brave
Standing on another's grave (chorus)

You love the underbelly of humanity
You feel like the master of your synergy
It's all in your vibe; It's all in your mind
No one has ever been flying so high (chorus)




REGRET
Written By Dan Mukala and Ty Lacy

Maybe I was six
Or maybe five or three
Eating Popsicle's on my grandpa's knee
Watching football on his big TV
Thinkin' "I can do that; how hard can that be?" (chorus)

Then I heard the ice cream man
Driving down my street
I had to go outside
Before he drove by me
Saw that big white truck
And all of that ice cream
And I thought to myself
I though to myself (chorus)


Wish I could be anything I want to be
Wanna be a fireman
Wanna be an astronaut
Wanna sail the sea just like a sailor
But it's not the end of the world
So baby don't get upset
It's just a little regret

 I'm a big boy now
Wearin' big boy clothes
Drivin' down my street
In my Rodeo
Workin' the same old scene
Tryin' to make a go
"If you call me on my cell, we'll do lunch sometime" (chorus)

I feel just like an Edsel (chorus)
But you learn from your mistakes




SKIP TO THE END
Written By Dan Mukala

I saw my brother sitting by the road
Philosophizing about the signs, the times and the soul
He said, "I'm thinking about the state of the world
Of wars and famines and the things that we've unfurled
'Cause everybody wants to know
The way the world is going to go"(chorus)


Skip to the end, skip to the end
Skip, skip to the end
If you want to read the story flip the pages and then
Skip to the end, skip to the end
Skip, skip to the end
You will understand how the future world's gonna go

 I saw beside him lying in the grass
An ancient book that was worn and wet and tattered
I said, "My brother won't you look into this
And you will find all the answers that you miss
'Cause everybody wants to know
The way the world is going to go"(chorus)

Deep in the history of our tortured race
Are all the blunders and mistakes we can't erase
But it ain't over yet; it's gonna turn around
See for yourself how it all goes down
'Cause everybody wants to know
The way the world is going to go(chorus)




SOAP
 Written By Dan Mukala and Alex Anders

I?m bleaching and scrubbing
Been rubbin around in the dirt
Infested, Infected
My soul beginning to hurt
I?ll whitewash my tombstone
So bright and white and clean
But I don?t think no one can see the rot beneath (chorus)


What Soap can never wash away
Deodorize or disinfect
The dirty hands of a derelict
What soap can never wash away
The blood-stained hands of a guilty man
Only Your love can

 We?re fickle; we?re wayward
Rubbin shoulders with fallen angels
And carry epidemics
Spread around by street corner medics
We try and we try
To heal with the naked eye
And find a cure for the sinful seed
We carry in our genes (chorus)




STORY OF HER LIFE
Written By Dan Mukala

Eyes of gold that shone
Like fields of wheat in the morning sun
Hair of autumn earth tones
That sang like the child she was
These are the pictures of the future
The precious moments some would not allow
The gift of life just taken back
The day of broken promises (chorus)


Tonight, all the stars in heaven said
Goodbye, to a child gone forever but
Tonight, there'll be no more crying for
What might have been the story of her life

 Eyes of blue that gleamed
Across the floor at the schoolyard dance
Sweet baby girl, now all grown up
She's standing on the edge
Of a lifetime, of her lifetime
The precious moments some would not allow
The gift of life just taken back
The day of broken promises (chorus)

These are the questions in my mind
A string of doubts that can't be swept away
The gift of life just taken back
The day of broken promises (chorus)




STRANGER THAN FICTION
Written By Dan Mukala

I've heard tales of the weird, unusual
When weak overtake the powerful
When men struck by lightning
Come back from the dying
And fish fall down from the sky (chorus)

Psycho freaked mythologies
Like the one about the beauty and the beast
It's unbelievable, extraterrestrial
How you feel for me
So how do you feel what you feel
I scratch my head and stare at the wall (chorus)


You reach for me
You die for me
Your love is stranger
Your love is stranger
Stranger than fiction

 Secret agent cover-ups
Super scientific pick-me-ups
Donkeys that talk
And Dolphins that walk
And sun eating super novas (chorus)

But no less a mystery
Is how you care for one like me
It's unbelievable, extraterrestrial
How you feel for me
So how do you feel what you feel
I scratch my head and stare at the wall (chorus)

So how do you feel what you feel
I scratch my head and stare at the wall (chorus)



Finnally! That took a long time to type! Well, I bet I screwed up at least once. If you notice a spot where I did, please tell me!
