“Black Shadows”
lyrics only written by : Emily Jones for the band sure it’s Neal (siN) (c)2004

it’s eatin’ through ya, it’s creepin’ through ya
it ain’t messin’ around
and if ya let it, then just forget it
cuz it will take you down
so stop your whinin’, pathetic cryin’
get a grip on yourself, yeah
so what’s it to ya? i see right through ya
i’ve been right there myself

black shadows fallin’, and for you it’s callin’

the guilt will follow, so hard to swallow
i’ve felt like this before
now you’re screamin’, thinkin’ you’re bleedin’
and i just shut the door
i’m meditating, you’re medicating
to bury what’s inside
don’t let it getcha, or overtake ya
you’ll have to run and hide

chorus:

black shadows fallin’, and for you it’s callin’
ooo, what’s that sound?
poundin’, poundin’ round in your ears
ooo, what’s that sound?
feelin’, feelin’ all of your fears
oh how profound
lettin’, lettin’ go of your past
oh how profound
sayin’, sayin’ this won’t last

just let it go now, it’s been too long now
there’s nothing left for you here
no taking cover, not any longer
nothin’s as it appears
it’s grip will take ya, then it will break ya
make you feel so low
so stop your whinin’, pathetic cryin’
and just go with the flow

“March of the Dead”
written by: Jeff Baker / word arrangement and music composition by: Emily Jones (c)2006 (album: Dragonbait)

i’m falling away into the madness
away from the light of hope
grasping for the fibers of my sanity
trapped in a world all alone

my sould begins to break away
and fade into final black
as hope and faith begin to stray
i know they’re never coming back

partial chorus:

you see the path that i’ve taken
as i stumble through my life
locking step with the march of the dead
into the madness of my head

if the peace of my sleep would stay with me
i could stand to face the day
but as it unfolds with the truth that it holds
for the darkness again i pray

full chorus:

you see the path that i’ve taken
as i stumble through my life
locking step with the march of the dead
into the madness of my head

oh how can it be that i haven’t seen
the me that’s hidden deep inside?
but now it’s revealed and i can’t believe
the pain i’ve felt while i lied

are dreams a remembrance or vision?
why when i wake must they end?
fragments of time with no reason or rhyme
these things i cannot comprehend

-full chorus

“Heidi’s Song”
written and composed by: Emily Jones (c)2006 (album: Dragonbait)

workin’ in the flower beds, planting in a row
before the winds blow from the east, bringing rain like an undertow
hippie chick from Michigan, walkin’ in her Birks
she hates cards with holes in them, it’s just a little quirk

chorus:

we’re driving through the blair witch woods
we’re on our way to three days
playin’ taboo, gettin’ drunk off my punch
check ya later Slater and Spades
laughin’ and cryin’, Evanovich
she’s such a geek and i’m a bitch
devil children we love them so
husbands that we like to…

tattoo needles in our skin, you flinch but i hold still
groovy drippin’ butterfly, a dragon that could kill
vicky’s got a secret, i ain’t tellin’ anyone
we’re trivia divas in pursuit, and scarin’ everyone

chorus – bridge

hang a left to Newark, which way do i go then?
that big ol’ ring aint scary, wanna watch it again
happy bunny talks to us, hot topic of the day
she ate all the gingersnap, i sit down to play

chorus
