The Niki Barr Band

This is the point of no return
This is where you show what you’re worth
This is where we make their heads turn
This is where somebody gets hurt

This marks the place where you show no tears
Anticipating the end is near
This time you’re ok, the coast is clear
No, you can't ever show any fear because

We are the strong
You can't hold our backs to the wall

Undivided we stand
Undivided we fall
Undivided we stand
Undivided... or we’re nothing at all

This is where you get what you earn
So don’t forget what you have learned
This is where reality turns
And this is how good men get burned

Holding the lines through the rain and fire
Shoulder to shoulder we'll never tire
We keep moving forward, a thousand miles
Cuz this is how we build an empire

We stand our ground
We watch them all fall down

You've got your perfect shot to bring me down
and I watch you as you push me to the ground
I stand up, what doesn't kill me only makes me strong

So give me all that you've got and make it last me for a while
and beat me down, till I can't stand
You've got my heart in your hands

You're so cruel, but I want you
You're so cruel, but I want you
You take hearts and tear them apart
Your attitude is all I want from you

You're tough, you've got the mouth to back it up
and you cut, you say I won't amount to much
It's tough love, and it's what I have been dreaming of

I will take everything, all the sorrow that you bring
I'll face the burns and the blames
I will take the pain

If at the end of this all you finally succeed
If at the end of it all, you’re some kind of somebody
If for a moment, just a moment, you could be complete
You’d fight and steal it, just to feel it, you want everything

To Make You Feel Human
To Make You Feel Human

If all the world could learn to adore you and all the things you’ve done
If by tomorrow, you cured all sorrow, like some fucking God
You’d build a secret, to hide the genious and throw it all away
And make a habit, just to have it, cuz you want everything

To Make You Feel Human
To Make You Feel Human

Look what you have become
you are the beautiful
Yet so far from what you want
so you create the flaws
You see what you’ve become
you feel you’re the only one

To Make You Feel Human
To Make You Feel Human

You’re gonna be rich, yeah you’re gonna be gorgeous
a penthouse of freaks, and make it enormous
you’re gonna hit high, gonna make an impression
a super-sized story for the television
becomes a waste of time

I’m packing up my sorrow
now I’ve made up my mind
I know what I’ll become tomorrow
wasted time

It’s gonna move quick and it’s gonna be glorious
forget about the rules, shoot the silver bullet
now give us some style and give us a vision
and the silicone blues for the star-struck children
you’re all a waste of time

everything about it seems to put me in my place
already primadonnas and we need the perfect face
the stereo’s in trouble and it’s hard to get a taste of our own mistakes

I’m gonna be rich, yeah I’m gonna be gorgeous
a penthouse of geeks, just make it enormous
I’m gonna hit high, gonna make an impression
you know we all want a part in this foolish obsession
we’re all a waste of time

I hear the laughter fading
It’s a holiday
I’ve walked these streets so many miles that I’ve stopped counting
Because all I have on my mind are your eyes
For the first time I took my time
Yeah, I took my time

I’ve got my life, you’ve got a name
It’s the wrong direction and the wrong place
Better be careful where we lay
We both have so much we could lose
If I were to give myself to you

The distance is overwhelming
Such a long way home
We’re not supposed to be writing, but I love your quotes
Take a bow, we can’t make this last
Stick around and we’ll both go down, so slow down
Just slow down

She still remembers when her heart was younger
Always searching for the sense in it all
It was so easy, so easy to fall behind
She found a way to make everything clearer
Somehow she set aside all of her fears
With every season, she turned her life around

She used to be your shadow on the sidewalk
Used to be your flower on the wall
Now everything is coming around full-circle
She’s not afraid of anything at all
She used to be so used to you, holding her down, but look at her now
She’s flying high above ground
Now she’s finally free
That used to be

She held her silence as she waited for something
Some kind of ticket to a better place
Where she can start again and make a brand new face

Here’s my real life
I couldn’t ask for anything more
And here’s to all you still trying hard to make it through the door

Here’s a song for another broken heart, yeah it’s gonna make you cry
And here are words for another tired heart-aching, suffocating life
You were the star of the team, a corporate world’s greatest dream
Everyone turned your way when the lights hit your face
She was a prom beauty queen, a dazzling girl until she teased with the rock, saddle-up, it’s gonna be a big drop

Sooner or later, she’s gonna find out what you’ve been hanging from your bed post, God knows
Sooner or later, it’s gonna crash down
Real soon, you’re gonna cry out

Here’s a list of the mothers that you kissed, yeah it’s gonna make her die
And here are curses, she opened up her purses to help her through the night
You tell her you’ll be home late, that work had caught you again
So, she breather it in more, she knows your lying voice
And drifts off deep into dreams, while you’re off fucking more queens
You’re the man of the night, while your girl’s getting high

Your will is broken now with all the glasses in your kitchen
The pieces cut your fingers, still you do your best to fix them
All inside of me is your air to breathe
I will help you find whatever you need
And all the screaming makes you deaf and you no longer hear me
And all the anger makes you blind and you can’t even see me
But you can trust me, I will be your relief
Then you’ll finally see, I’m no enemy

Make your getaway
Go on and break away the pain
Oh, and if it takes all day
I’ll wait, all day
Getaway

Now I’m the one thing that you need, where your salvation lies
What you’ve been missing I can feed and bring your soul to life
All inside of me, there’s a way out
You’ll know where I’ll be when you want out
Come tear yourself free, don’t give up now

I’ll help you through it all
I won’t ever let you fall
Just tell me what you need
I’ll help you break free from everything
I’ll throw away the rain and kiss all your pain
Go on, believe me, I’m not deceiving
You’ll see that I care

All inside of me, all is quiet
I believe you’ll get free
Yeah, you’ll make it

Count all the days I’ve been living in solitude
It all adds up, but I don’t really want it to
Because time is a waste and I don’t think it ever lasts
I’d rather be stuck in a day and forget my past
I am what I am and I don’t want to think about the ways I could change or atleast try to figure out
There’s no way I’d feel the same as I do when I hide my face

I will drown inside myself
It’s what keeps me happy
And I will stand beside myself
Because it’s healthy
And I could care for no one else, as long as I’ve got myself and I’m on the inside looking out

The sun never shines through the windows I’ve covered up
I sit in the dark and I drink from a dirty cup
My favorite escape is the corner of any room, where I get high and imagine a swimming pool
My hand’s getting numb, yeah they’re older than I’ve become
My hair, I don’t cut because I don’t need to show it off
There’s no reason to impress
Sometimes I don’t even dress

I could dreaming of something but I won’t because I know that there’s nothing coming by tonight
And I’ll dance alone because I think that it’s funny, I’ll just keep on like a jaded bunny as time goes by

This is my life, though you may think it’s not worth living
But I do enjoy being cold and alone because I’m crazy
And that’s what I am all about—
I live from the inside looking out
