lyrics

Ohhhhhhhh,
Ohhhhhhh,
Fear is a curse,
The terror of twilight,
The fear of the nighttime,
A curse,
Peace will come,
There are people that love you,
You don't have to do this alone,

Well nothing seems to matter
Your whole world seems to shatter
I'll keep you alive
Well everything is nothing
It always turn to something
If you give it time
When emptyness surrounds you
And there's no one else around you
Let me be your light
When its barely together
It's you and me forever
You keep this in mind

Don't take it back babe
It's about not giving up baby
Please wake up
There are people who love you
You don't have to do this alone

Well nothing seems to matter
Your whole world seems to shatter
I'll keep you alive
Well everything is nothing
It always turn to something
If you give it time
When emptyness surrounds you
And there's no one else around you
Let me be your light
When its barely together
It's you and me forever
You keep this in mind

Don't turn your back baby
It's about not giving up baby
If you give it up babe
The world will drive you crazy

Well nothing seems to matter
Your whole world seems to shatter
I'll keep you alive
Well everything is nothing
It always turn to something
If you give it time
When emptyness surrounds you
And there's no one else around you
Let me be your light
When its barely together
It's you and me forever
You keep this in mind

This records shreds like a fresh wave of 80’s guitar rock like the Cars, Pat Benetar, Fleetwood Mac, and Joan Jett all wrapped up into one package of stellar production! This album stands out dramatically from the previous “Rips” for the hi-fi polished crystal clear production that veteran flawless musicianship deserves! John Isaacson
