1. Ocean View |
I always knew that you had a talent for pushing the good things far away...You turn every want to something you need fortune and fame pleasure for pain...And we wanted it too a room with an ocean view to make all our dreams come true a letter or a phone call will do but that's not you no that's not you cause you don't care no you don't care you never stay anymore you never say anymore tell me where did you go where did you go...You have no secrets we know your story you got what you wanted and that's so important...Time has spoken you wasted your life with millions of dollars and nothing but strife... And we wanted it too a room with an ocean view to make all our dreams come true a letter or a phone call will do but that's not you no that's not you cause you don't care no you don't care you never stay anymore you never say anymore tell me where did you go where did you go...To me money isn't everything but there's nothing wrong with having things I just want to live simple who doesn't want that I don't need friends Written and Composed by Josh Meraz Note: This song is about sacrificing loved ones to gratify selfish ambition. |

2. Cold |
There was a time when I didn't care there was a time there was a reason for leaving then it was the time...You saw me walking now you're at my door you saw me broken now you're at my door...There was a time when I didn't feel there was a time I had a reason for grieving then it was the time...You saw me walking now you're at my door you saw me broken now you're at my door...D-Don't go don't go that's what she says when the room gets cold d-don't go don't go that's what she says when she's feeling alone that's what she says when she's feeling the cold...D-don't go don't go that's what she says when the room gets cold that's what she says when she's feeling alone d-don't go don't go don't go don't go...Cause I got a reason to wanna feel loved all of the time I need you to stay a part of my life so I can be fine Written and Composed by Josh Meraz Note: This song is about a struggling relationship in which both parties are needy. |

3. Cause and Effect |
Natures perfect crime to torture human kind by feeding our minds to careless females you laid your dress on the bed and that's where you left it you laid my heart on the ground and that's where you left it...You're the cause and I'm the effect your pretty fingers around my neck you think you're smart cause you've never been tested I'm the only one that sees right through you I'm the only one that sees right through you now I'm back with a new kinda question where's the life and the love you promised I was a slave cause I never protested now I'm free cause I'm the one you rejected I think I'm smart cause I learned my lesson never trust a female you got a lie that you never perfected I think your life is a joke...I thought that you were mine betcha say that to all the guys clouding their minds to make em think you love them you locked the key in the room and that's how you left me you laid my heart in a tomb and that's how you left me... You're the cause and I'm the effect your pretty fingers around my neck you think you're smart cause you've never been tested I'm the only one that sees right through I think I'm smart cause I learned my lesson never trust a female you got a lie that you never perfected I think your life is a waste Written and Composed by Josh Meraz |

4. I Can't Love |
I don't know much but I know this I've held this in for far too long I've fallen for you and I want to be yours you don't have to love me I just thought you should know...I don't know you're thoughts but I can guess you couldn't care about me any less you were the closest thing to love you don't have to stay I just thought you to know...That I am the one that can't love destined to be on my own now then my heart will be still I'll wait for the one who will cure...All my pain all I crave cause all my life I've been afraid of my thoughts and all I feel are put in song and etched in stone...Feels like I'm missing something here I feel the end is drawing near feels like my chest is caving in it's getting harder to breathe you in cause I've been a slave for most of my days I've been a slave I've been a slave Co-written with Callie Stubbins and Composed by Josh Meraz |

5. Cause and Effect Page Two |
My mind is divided in two my heart is divided by you your lies are the efforts of youth your time is gonna come soon...The problem with your motivation is that you lack too much imagination and I swear I need a long vacation cause I'm sick of your interrogation and you start every conversation with the word you...My life is divided by truths my will is divided by you your tears are the gifts that you bring your words are the fire you breathe... The problem with your motivation is that you lack too much imagination and I swear I need a long vacation cause I'm sick of your interrogation and you start every conversation with the word you...I did it I said it you never will forget it that's all I did it I said it you never will forget that's all now I've been here for quite some time now never thought of leaving you but if it's come to this then I should reconsider everything cause nothing's that important in life but what's life if not worth living it's like rain it just keeps falling it's like pain that never ends you're the cause darling and I'm the effect... And the problem with your motivation is that you lack too much imagination and I swear I need a long vacation cause I'm sick of your interrogation and you start every conversation with the word you...I did it I said it you never will forget it that's all that's all Written and Composed by Josh Meraz |

6. Pearl of Great Price |
Married or single life ain't that simple so they say stay away so they say stay away love makes it easy nothing's that simple so they say stay away...I was lost for a while I withdrew for a time then I found truth the portion of you that hides deep inside yeah you hide deep inside...Patience means waiting but what's worth the wait they still say stay away they still say stay away... I was lost for a while I withdrew for a time then I found truth the portion of you that hides deep inside yeah you hide deep inside yeah you hide yeah you hide...Leaving seems right why stay and fight they still say stay away they still stay away... I was lost for a while I withdrew for a time then I found truth the portion of you that hides deep inside yeah you hide deep inside yeah you shine deep inside yeah you shine yeah you shine all the time Written and Composed by Josh Meraz Note: This song is about the truth you find despite the people who try to break down your belief system. Loosely based on a parable in the Bible. |

7. Admitting Defeat |
I am searching for a new way to live a cure for my anger and peace to forgive I'm just asking for a place to call home to stand at the gate or to enter your courts...You've been calling me to come closer and if you're calling I guess I should be calling for some kind of help some kinda way outta this yeah outta this hell but I can't do it by myself... I am breathing but I'm not alive I'm dead inside but I know how to lie I'm just looking for ways to stay strong to know what it takes to carry on...You've been calling me to come closer and if you're calling I guess I should be calling for some kind of help some kinda way outta this yeah outta this hell but I can't do it by myself no no no no...I've failed before and I'll fail again what's the difference to all of my friends I've failed before and I'll fail again what's the difference if nobody cares...You are the one to face my fears you are the one to wipe my tears and you give me strength to face adversity no longer am I hopeless Written and Composed by Josh Meraz Note: This song is about realizing faults and excepting grace. Using a style similar to a protest song this track expresses Christian influences. |

8. Anonymous |
You got yours and I got mine So what's the point when we try to pretend that we still care we both know it's completely over what's the point in trying to be there we both know I can't...But I don't want you to worry no I don't not anymore cause I know that it's not worth your time I know you know that I keep you on my mind all the time...What's the point when we try to pretend that's over when we both still care who's to blame what's the point when we try to argue we both know it's my fault you got me wrapped around your finger girl and that's where I was from the start...But I don't want you to worry no I don't not anymore cause I know that it's not worth your time I know you know that I keep you on my mind all the time Written and Composed by Josh Meraz |

9. All My Cares |
There's a cut for every hurt and I got a million scars there's pain around every turn and that's the reason that I still burn and that's the reason that I still burn...So put all my cares in one basket and hold my tears in a jar cause all my words are followed by actions and that's how I got far...I sing about what I feel and that's how I learn to deal and I swear it's all my fault but you're the reason that I still care and you're the reason that this still burns...So put all my cares in one basket and hold my tears in a jar cause all my words are followed by actions and that's how I got far that's how I got so far that's how I got so far that's how I got so far...If your words are never followed by actions you'll never get anything done what's the point of being alive if all you do is compramise...So put all my cares in one basket and hold my tears in a jar cause all my words are followed by actions and that's how I got far and that's all I got so far I got a million scars I got a million yeah I got a million so who do you think you are...So put all my cares in one basket and hold my tears in a jar cause all my words are followed by actions and that's how I got far Written and Composed by Josh Meraz |

10. Je Sui Ami? |
He whispered in my ear you glow more than the stars my heart swells inside bursting butterflies your words are sweeter than wine sending tremors up my spine your touch ignites my skin where do I begin...He said he said all that I wanted he said he said and that's all that matters he said he said but he didn't mean it...My heart shrinks with fear deceiving can be so clear i tremble at the thought the fruit begins to rot like losing all to fame I know that I'll feel pain selfish with his emotions when will this all end...He said he said all that I wanted he said he said and that's all that matters he said he said but he didn't mean it...Fate says I'm wrong friends say stay strong he promised the moon wrapped in the prettiest paper don't make me think that I am loved you've already taken away everything Co-written with Callie Stubbins and Composed by Josh Meraz |

11. There There Lonely Bear (lullaby Version) |
She feels down cause you don't come around she listens for the sound of an incoming telephone call but no one's calling at all and you don't care at all...She wakes up puts on her make up makes her way down the stairs hoping that you'll be there but no ones there at all and you don't care at all...She feels down cause you never come around her feelings spiral down her heart crushed to the ground and no one sees it all and you don't care at all...She gets mad cause lonely's always bad you're the best she never had no wonder she's always sad and the worst of all of this is that you don't care at all...Where where is the light to guide you there there he is right beside you I bring songs for the hurting and a word for the lonely this is not the end no its not the end for whatever makes you happy or whatever makes you sad I'll be here for a while just believe in that there there lonely bear somebody finally cares Written and Composed by Josh Meraz |

12. I Never Thought |
Always searching never finding looking for love just a kiss and a smile is all I require just a kiss and a smile and stay awhile...I never thought you'd be the one to drive me home tonight I never thought I'd see and end to all the hurt I feel...I was certain I'd never find it looking at you while you're looking at her just a kiss and a smile is all I require just a kiss and a smile and stay a while...I never thought you'd be the one to drive me home tonight I never thought I'd see and end to all the hurt I feel...Now I'm certain I'll never find it looking for love looking for you Written and Composed by Josh Meraz |

13. And We Wait in the Light |
Turning sharply in my car not going far it was a nice day they say falling short I missed the wheel there went the curve I headed straight they say so take your pony and ride pick up your weapons and fight cause this could be the end this could be the end of you this could be the end some would say we lost our way and some would say we've gone astray...But nothing is easy put yourself in my shoes and you can't make it easy cause you can't bring em back and everything's so hard you can never make it easy cause we all have our shadows and we wait in the light...Heaven help us when you're gone when we're alone everyone feels it too so take your pony and ride pick up your weapons and fight cause this could be the end this could be the end of you this could be the end some would say we lost our way and some would say we've gone astray...But nothing is easy we all have our trials put yourself in my shoes you'll see that I'm right and we can't make it easy no matter how hard you try and you can't bring em back death is always hard and everything's so hard and you can't change the past you can never make it easy so just use the time you have cause we all have our shadows and we wait in the light but nothing is easy we all have our trials put yourself in my shoes and feel what I feel and you can't make it easy no matter how hard you try cause you can't bring em back death is always hard and everything's so hard and you can't change the past you can never make it easy so just use the time you have cause we all have our shadows and we wait in the light Written and Composed by Josh Meraz Note: This song is dedicated to the family of Jared Zendejas. |
