Halfway Back to Sane
Words and Music by Derek Nicoletto and Bradley Small You called for a friend On whom you can depend Someone to understand. One who knows you best Experienced - through full recovery. Well, that’s not me. I don’t want to know what you’re going through I don’t want to know the name of your pain. I don’t want to hear how he did you wrong. I’m only halfway to back to sane. A shoulder for your tears The counsel of my ears My eyes, my views, to shed some light for you but I need Sunlight of my own My ears hear troubled tones and My shoulders still bear burdens you cast off two years ago, so I don’ t want to know what you’re going through I don’t want to know the name of your pain. I don’t want to hear how he did you wrong. I’ve only gotten halfway to back to sane. Cracked my teeth on lies about being over you. Hands are still raw from holding on to lost love. Vacancy looms where my heart kept its room And I don’t expect it back anytime soon. I already know what you’re going through I already know the name of pain. I can still feel how you did me wrong I’ve only gotten halfway back to sane. |

Dumb Boy
Words by Derek Nicoletto; Music by Brad Small and Derek Nicoletto © Copyright 2006 Derek Nicoletto & Brad Small Verse I Heaven knows I’ve been a Dumb Boy. Heaven knows I’ve played the fool. I keep on keep on losing sleep about you – it’s round two What do I say when your car drives away What am I supposed to do? How do I act when your head is all a mess Anyway – I guess I can say Chorus I’m never gonna give you up, no, I’m never gonna give you up ‘cuz I’ve got one more chance to make this thing last if I can. I’m never gonna give you up, no, I’m never gonna give you up ‘cuz I’ve got one more chance to make this thing last if I can. Verse 2 I know I’ve been wrong once or twice Can’t count the times that I’ve paid the price But I keep on, keep on losing sleep on I keep on ‘cuz it’s Round Two, with you All I know is I tried and I can’t cuz my plans are all tired Dumb boys make a mess of the plans they make Similarly, I’m trying to be something I’m never going to be but That’s just the way it’s got to be cuz Chorus I’m never gonna give you up, no, I’m never gonna give you up ‘cuz I’ve got one more chance to make this thing last if I can. I’m never gonna give you up, no, I’m never gonna give you up ‘cuz I’ve got one more chance to make this thing last if I can. Bridge Oh, is it wise to trust me, Oh, round one was not so lovely In the ring a second time, I know I can make it because dumb boys fake it. |

Orion’s Light
Words and music © Copyright 2006 by Derek Nicoletto & Brad Small We’ve been up all night In this fight. Pulling each other to the other’s side. I can say – I don’t want to stay, anymore. And I can’t make your lips create the words I need to hear them say. There’s a train of mania pulling out the gate It’s gonna jump the tracks so get out the way. Orion’s Light Lead me out – lead me out away Stars come out to take me out – take me out away. The list is long of things gone wrong. Your jealousy - it strangled me. Under its weight I suffocate. We’ve been up all night – nothing’s right Only silence can win this fight. That train of mania is pulling out the gate I’m gonna jump the tracks and get out the way. I can’t wait to get home. I can’t wait to get home. I can’t wait for Orion’s Light To lead me out – lead me out away Stars come out to take me out – take me out away from here. Oh, I can’t wait to get home. |

Circles in the Sky
V1 Just behind the line that separates The wrong from right Hides the place where I escape To bring some scenes to life There are things that you’ve never seen I promise you’ll like Here, I got your entrance fee Follow me inside. Chorus Lift your eyes, let them ride Circles, circles in the sky V2 Just beyond the boundary of Civilian life Sits the land where fantasies Live comfortably in lies It’s a place where the hijacked senses Circle in the sky Come on in, shut the door Trust me baby Come in, shut the door trust me and Chorus & Outro Lift your eyes, let them ride Circle circles in the sky Bridge Darling c’mon in and take your medicine It washes ‘way your sins And bite your lips and pray Darling it’s OK you can hold my hand inside Ease into the ride of your life Circles, circles in the sky Circles circles in the sky Just behind the line that separates wrong from right Here, I got your entrance fee Follow me inside. |

Instincts
Words by Derek Nicoletto (c) Copyright 2006 Lying on the cold tiles; lying to myself To think I can resist you; to put my heart upon a shelf I rush to complication; I shower in my doubt Nothing is suspected – irony that I’m expected To trust my Instincts Ceiling staring back at me; daring me…to… to trust my instincts Kamikaze lust to justify; like Adam and his apple, Like Judas and his foolish pride I rush to complication; I speed to my own death I’m trading my foundation for a moment of your heated breath. I’m trusting my instincts Adam’s apple tasting right I’m Trusting my instincts She don’t move me like you do She don’t do the things you do She don’t make me – make me wanna Lose my mind and act a fool I’m trusting my instincts Fight or flight; feeling like I’m Trusting my instincts |

Twisted in Knots
Words and Music – Derek Nicoletto and Bradley Small Stevedore’s breathing down my neck But I paint your picture inside my head Cargo ties are all I’m holding down tonight. My arms are aching and I’m standing on stones Breathing heavy of labor and loneliness Hope twists into knots tonight. I’m waiting for you Waiting for you Waiting for you Before it dawns the ocean slaps the shore awake To take its dose of my disgrace Alone on land With you inside my head It could take a few more hours It could take a few more years ’Til this hope twisted in knots can make you real. I’m waiting for you Waiting for you Waiting for you This old dock keeps swaying Mooring lines are breaking The whole world’s changing but… me I’m waiting for you Waiting for you Waiting for you. Tie me down with your love Tie me down with your love. Tie me down with your love. |

I know that you know, I know I am good enough for you.
The strength of your love, it folds around me. It wraps around, I'm softly drowning. All around me, you keep me from the lonliness Dreamers lose and angels fall, Good times die but above it all, I know I own your love. |

Atlantis
Words and Music by Derek Nicoletto and Brad Small V1 You been traveling a while How’d it look outside? You been gone a while How’d you spend the miles? Was the wind cold? Did the natives smile? Chorus 1 Did you find love? Did you find your tribe? V2 I heard the autumn rain can cool you down if it’s feelin kind I heard Atlantis will break your heart, make you lose your mind on the other side Chorus 2 And did you find love Did you find your tribe And did they want you on the other side Did you find your love Did you find your tribe And did they welcome you On the other side? |

Your Silence
Words and Music © 2007 Brad Small and Derek Nicoletto As you’re lying there testing my resolve My mind is clearing Solution slowing taking hold I feel you fading Your grip is slipping But from the deepest sleep you sting. Illusions of innocence deceive And cloud my reason But your faith in my weakness gives me strength Strength to resist you To overcome you. And when the morning comes you’ll be gone. You don’t Your silence says that you don’t You don’t Of all the things I think aren’t right Of all the chaos in my life Of all the grinding teeth at night Of all the fevers I am delivered I’m delivered now that you’re gone. You don’t, your silence says that you don’t. Captured all my memories Can’t take away my melody Can’t take away what I’ve saved for myself I believe I will breathe easily The moment you set me free. You don’t, you don’t – love me. |
