Hi.. just wanted to say that no, i have not gone inactive, but i am getting ready to graduate high school, so I've been rather busy with all the things that come with being a senior in high school (I'm sure a few of you have been there!) Still, i have some new material written, and i hope to record all that and some video clips. I also hope to be getting a bassist soon so that as soon as school lets out i'll try and start gigging, and perhaps raise some money for some better recordings! So, just wanted to let everyone know where I'm at and, that no matter what, i'm in this for the long run!!

-Look in the Mirror

Hey now, Mr. Jones... What’s going down tonight?
Are you searchin’ for something... Or are you looking to start a fight?
I tell ya, you better stay out of sight...

I’ve told you once...and I’ll tell you one more time...
To survive here.. You’ve got to open up your mind...
And there is no reason, there is no rhyme..


(But/and) I know a man...I know him very well...oh....and can’t you tell?
Can’t you understand...Where I’m coming from...Or are your thoughts really that numb?
You come from a land....Where all the mirrors just ain’t near...your..face..
(-Chorus)


I watched you... run away from your fear..
You had a chance...to survive here...
But ya threw it away, for money so mere..
(Chorus)


Oh now, Mr. Jones.. Why didn’t you heed my call?
Was I too young...to warn you of you fall?
Or were you just to blind to see it all?
(Chorus)

-Answers

In my early days, all I knew was fear...
I tried to shield my eyes, but it came in through my ears...
I saw horrors here and there, and I couldn’t escape them all..
My innocence was shot down, just for standing tall..

Searchin’ for answers in all the wrong places, and findin’ nothing in those faces...  
I need somethin to clear my mind, before the answer is left behind...                    
(-Chorus)

I had me a pretty girl, who helped me along the way
She was good and true, every single day.....
But she was taken from me, by some horrible man..
Why I lost my love, I can’t understand...

(Chorus)

Now I’m here a thousand miles, away from my home..
From town to town, my soul it does roam..
My mind it just looks, for that one clue..
To find my answer, what must I do?

(Chorus)
(Break)
(Chorus)

We’re Through
-Brandon/Herman North
   

    
You told me you needed all my love, I told you I held nobody above you
oh what should I do?  Now that we’re through....

At first you said everything was all fine, we had our fights and we had our good times too.
And what should I do? Now that we’re through...

I never wanted to tell you a lie, I promised to never say goodbye, to you..
But should  I do? Now that we’re through..

I’ve been searching high I’ve been searching low.. searching for love and I don’t know if its true?
And what should I do,  you said we’re through..

You said I could never do any right, you said that I always started the fights with you,
but now I’m through, I am through with you.

Well finally yeah for the first time,   I’ll say what I want and I’ll speak my mind to you,
and guess what too, babe we’re through.
