The Might

Hassles for the under the radar creativity. If you don't listen you may miss it. It's simple, maybe crude at times but.....it's there and it's wonderful OR maybe it's just Emma who deserves these accolades.

Final Cut 04:18
Final Cut So what is it When I can’t believe in anything So what do I do When I want to lose everything I want to let it go now I want to erase all we had I want to let it go now I want the final cut now Oh what do I do So I can erase everything Oh what do I do So I can forget everything I want a final cut now Come on, and speed it up now Just let it go Just strip it away Oh having nothing, I don’t want to hear you say again No, no So what do I do I want a final cut now I want to be through Get it through to all these levels now The darkest level I have Keeps coming out of me now There’s a part of me that won’t lie down And let it all die, let it all die So what do I do Give me the final cut now Oh, what about you Are you even holding the knife out There’s a level in me I can sink to, and I’m sinking to There’s a level in me I can sink to, oh I’m sinking, too But I want to be free I want to be free of the memories I want to be free I want to be free of the fantasy There’s a part of me I need to cut it out now I can feel you breathe You’ve got the final cut now But I want to be free

Losing Streak First you tried to pass Wanted it to last While you held it down Begging to a restless one If you had to pick Would you choose to live with it If you had one call Would you let it go And end it all It always seems like A losing streak I can feel the heat I can move and dream First you give it up Then you call my bluff While I held it down Begging for a rest to come If I could turn away Would I If I could get it back Would I If I could change your mind Would I End it all It always seems like A losing streak I can feel the heat I can move and dream Well I can feel the knife coming down I can feel the hate mounting now I can feel the hand coming down I can feel the heat burning now If you had one pick Would you let it go or live with it If I had one call Would I walk away and end it all It always seems like A losing streak I can feel the heat I can move and dream Well I can feel the knife coming down I can feel the hate mounting now I can feel the hand coming down I can feel the heat burning now And I can feel the pain in your eyes I can see the pain in your eyes With one look, with one look

Bless the Best You know you heard this song before Didn’t you Heard it as you were walking out the door Following you You know you heard my voice before Didn’t you Think it would always speak your name You didn’t know That the voice would change You didn’t know That I would speak so many other names You didn't know That the voice wouldn’t stay the same You couldn’t know, you couldn't know, you couldn't know I’ve never wrote this song before The feeling’s new There was so much that I did wrong I’m not blaming you Maybe the worst that we had Was just the best that we knew I didn’t know That the fear could change I didn’t know That I would learn so many other ways I didn’t know That the fear wouldn’t stay the same I couldn’t know, I couldn't know, I couldn't know Oh but you were the one You were the one I pinned it all on You were the one You were the one I pinned it all on But in a moment’s time I get so run down In a moment’s time The work calls me back up again And in another place and another time I held you And in another way and another place I will be held again So bless the best Of us Bless the best We had Bless the best Of us It wouldn’t help to forget that now In another moment We’ll be laughing out loud again In another moment we’ll be Laughing aloud Laughing aloud We’ll be laughing again all night You wouldn’t know You wouldn’t know You wouldn’t know it now

Peace 04:07
Peace In every movement there’s a sign In every sign there’s a reason In every reason there’s a lie So now we’re talking about a solution And what we said, we know You can’t say it—but I know And every trap feels the same Every escape leads to the same Every exit is the same Oh, we’re still talking about peace We’re still talking about trees We’re still talking about you and me But every exit leads to the same And every plan just drifts away And every war ends this way I’m not a fighter in the way you want me to keep fighting I’m not a fighter in the game you want me to keep playing I’m not a winner in the place you want me to keep going I’m not a horizon in the place you want to keep dreaming of Everyone is talking about magic Everyone is talking about power Everyone is talking about oxygen I can feel the power Let me feel the power Let me be the power Let me be all the peaceful power Is that what it takes

The Might 04:28
The Might You’ve died a million times Right there before my eyes Notion that’s on my mind Trade places with the light Who thought it’d be like that Stripped down and cut in half Shot like a burning arrow Straight up into the night You tried a million times Right there before my eyes Imagine something better Trade places with the might Hoped it could stay like that Hoped it would resurface But I hear the echo first Before I even hear the words Some things you leave Some things you grieve In time, I’ll let the light back in But this time, you let the might win
