Orchid's Sin

When the frost was on the window sill
That morning it was time
So I took the path of evil
His life would soon be mine
You can't say that you could blame me
If you knew what I=d been through
You could say some people hate me
For the things that I could do
CHORUS: Ooooo-Let me in
Take me from this bible to the valley of sin
Oooo-Let me in
Been wanderin' forever, don't know who I've been
That cold morning in December
I woke up black and blue
He promised it'd be the last time
But my anger only grew
I was always a good wife to him
He knew that from the start
But when I left that winter,
I ripped his world apart
Chorus
BRIDGE: It was not unjust, it's retribution
That was his life, karma's solution
If I have to pay for these things I've done
At least I know this battle's already won
LEAD (to Chorus chords)
As his flannel shirt got bloody
I watched as it sunk in
Even though the ground was muddy
His grave I dragged him in
At ten o'clock a left that town
Never to return
Not the last time I'll see him
In hell, I'm sure we'll burn
Chorus
ALT CHORUS: Ooooh-Let me in
Take me from this man of mine and the mess I'm in (and release me from him)
Ooooh-Let me in
Been wanderin' forever, don't know who I've been.

His Secret
04:22
|
|||
I don't believe in alibis
And I don't especially trust yours
I don't like alibis
I don't believe yours.
Why have you returned
Have you come for your things
The way you lived
Not far from a king
And who is woman
Is it your new friend
Is she the girl
In the letters you'd send
Try to understand, I loved my sister
I don't trust your new wife
I don't believe, she's still alive
Chorus
The pressman said
It's a high profile case
She's got the money
And you a disgrace
They say she ran off
into the night
Changing her name
after her flight
Try to understand, I trust my sister
But I don't trust your excuse
I don't believe in psychogenic fugue
Instrumental
The police said
they found her clothes
Some of them bloody
you said from her nose
But I think they were eating
One too many snacks that day
What they overlooked
Could put you away
My lawyer said, she'd get me an appeal
Your alibi, just can't be real
We'll get the jury, and the judge
They'll turn around my wicked grudge

Here I Am
04:12

If I were to write a novel
Would you read it?
If I were to paint a picture
Would you see it?
And if I were to sing and dance
In front of you for hours
Would you simply walk away
Or would you bring me flowers
I'm here...
Why don't you see me?
If I were to run away
Would you notice before the pets died
If I were to never speak
Would you appreciate the silence
CHORUS:
Here I am
Why don't you seem to see me
Here I am
I can't just be here...
When you need me
If you need me
I'm not convinced that you love me
Like you tell the world you do.
Is it so they won't judge you
Because you're supposed to
I'm not on this earth
So I can be ignored
I've been told that sometimes
That I can be a bore
BRIDGE:
Maybe I'm dead
I might as well be
Maybe you're deaf and blind and...
Maybe not
INSTRUMENTAL
Chorus

I was born in a farming town
Where happy fruits and vegetables grow
I was raised to believe in myself
And let my bright side show
They said, someday if you're lucky
You'll be taken away
To a place where you'll hopefully be chosen
By someone who thinks, you're something special
Hopefully, you won't end up frozen
I grew up, big and strong
My leaves as green as they could be
I fulfilled, my first mission
I ended up, in your kitchen
And now you sit, just looking at me
Don't you think, I'm appetizing?
--Don't leave me behind
Don't through me down your garbage shoot
Where vegetables rot, and juice dilutes
--Don't leave me behind
Don't throw me away, I've waited too long for this day
Instrumental
I may not be, as sweet as candy
But I'm not sour like a lime
I may not be the best looking
But I won't kill you like strik-en-ine
Don't leave me for another day
Wrap me up, lock me away
Don't leave me here where I'll rot
Don't put me back in your pot
--Don't leave me behind
Don't through me down your garbage shoot
Where vegetables rot, and juice dilutes
--Don't leave me behind
Don't throw me away, I've waited too long for this day
Don't leave me, don't leave me, behind.

Come to me
Bring the darkness into light
Come to me
Bring the darkness into light
Come to me
Come to me
Feel the picture in my hands
Feel the wind and the grainy sand
Feel the rain as it start to fall
See the man stare behind the wall
Come to me
Come to me
He's watching her with his dark grey eyes
He can hear, her future cries
He's rather tall, but not too thin
His hair is black with a pointy chin
Come to me
Come to me
Sweet spirits help me decide
Sweet spirits won't you confide
I need you to help me through
You know more than I ever do
Come to me
Come to me
Hear her scream from under his hand
See her dragged along the sand
I see his knife, so threatening
I hear her cry as she starts to sing
Come to me
Come to me
Sweet spirits whisper in my ear
Take away her loved ones fears
Sweet spirits is she still alive
Sweet spirits won't you confide
Come to me---come to me
Come to me---come to me
The silver light flashes through the rain
She was left, alone in pain
You will find her in a cave
If you hurry, her life you'll save
Come to me
Turn the darkness into light
Come to me
Turn the darkness into light
Come to me
Come to me

The Sun in Emily's Sky
03:28
|
|||
Emily thinks and she cries on her bed
Thinking of all of the dreams they had
She often thinks about running away
Nothing left for her anyway
CHORUS: She's not the sun
She's not the su-n
She's not the sun in his sky anymore
She's not the sun
She's not the su-n
She's not the sun in his sky anymore
She sometimes thinks it was something she'd done
Emily wants bullets in her gun
He just wants to be really good friends
Does he know this could be her end
Chorus
BRIDGE: Believe in yourself
That's what, they all say
Don't give up, the pain will go away
We'd all miss you, we all care
Just keep talking, won't you share
Emily knows she must try to go on
Facing her fears as the night goes long
She has to find a way to stay alive
Being alone for the rest of her life
She's not-But she's not alone
She's not-Everyone loves her
She's not-He's just a jerk
Being sad won't make him come back
He's not the sun
He's not the su-n
He's not the sun in her sky anymore
He's not the sun
He's not the su-n
He's not the sun in her sky anymore
He's not
He's not
He's not the sun in her sky--- anymore
