I know that I can trust you Not to be trusted And when the chips are down I know that I can count on you I know I can count on you to count me out I'm losing my sanity There's nothing I can do You're shielded in vanity You're heartless through and through I'm a wingless fly in your spiderweb A broken toy that you just won't repair And you're always there I know just what you stand for You can't stand to see me happy So if that should ever happen You leave it up to you You leave it up to you to let me down You're a sadistic fantasy When you hurt me, it's such a tease But when you turn your back to me It brings me to my knees Puckered up for you to bare it Not an ounce of self-respect to spare 'Cause you're always there You're always there Yeah, you're always there You're always there Always You're always there You got me lined up in your crosshairs I'm fair game in a game that isn't fair And you're always there You're always there You're always there You're always there You're always there

Severance 04:10
Take a deep breath Close the door and turn the key In the distance Something better waits for me Got my freedom And that's all I need right now Won't let no one Hold me up or hold me down It seems the ties that bind Are the same ties that gag So I must break away This life is such a drag I'm so lonely And so tired of this dead end town Stupid people Always trying to put me down Going my way Because it's the only way I know And I'm going for broke Because it's the only way to go It seems the ties that bind Are the same ties that gag So I must break away This life is such a drag Don't wait around for me Just wish me well, or just let me be I don't need your pity Please don't try to Patronize me with advice Just be gone now Leave me to my own device There is nothing In this world that can make me stay I'm so empty But I'm happier this way It seems the ties that gag Are the same ties that bind So I must break away And leave it all behind Leave it all behind

Beautiful 04:51
All my life I've walked alone in darkness With no one to worry about me When I was gone Wasted time Hiding my face in my hands I've struggled and I've suffered For so long Then I found you And it all fell into place Yes, it's true Every time I see your face I know that nothing's wrong You keep me going strong 'Cause all I see is beautiful Nothing else comes into my view All I see is beautiful 'Cause all I see is you And now I'm fine You shine your light upon me I know you're with me Everywhere I go Far behind I've buried all my doubts and fears I am grateful for you More than you'll ever know Some might say That I'm wasting all my time It's okay If people think I've lost my mind 'Cause I don't need them now You're what I'm all about 'Cause all I see is beautiful Nothing else comes into my view All I see is beautiful 'Cause all I see is you And to the world, I'm blind But that suits me just fine Ahh All I see is beautiful Nothing else comes into my view (my view) All I see is beautiful 'Cause all I see is You

Ice Woman 04:10
She keeps her emotions Hermetically sealed All her affections Are fully concealed What she is feeling Cannot be revealed She's cold, but it only Adds to her appeal Ice woman Ice woman I can't light a fire under you Ice woman Ice woman You will only put it out No one can get to her But so many try She's fully immune to Their come-ons and lies She knows what she's doing No one can deny She does it so no one Will ever make her cry Ice woman Ice woman I can't light a fire under you Ice woman Ice woman You will only put it out Ice woman Ice woman I can't show you that my love is true Ice woman Ice woman You'd much rather live without Love And only love can change you And stop the hurt inside Only love can save you Won't you let me try? Won't you let me try? Ice woman Ice woman I can't light a fire under you Ice woman Ice woman You will only put it out Ice woman Ice woman I can't show you that my love is true Ice woman Ice woman You'd much rather live without Love

Lost 04:41
I may never know where this is going You never tell me what is going on inside And I may never really know where you are taking me So I guess I'll just sit back and enjoy the ride You may never know how I feel when I'm with you It's a feeling that's hard to leave behind I just wish I knew if you could ever feel the same And even if you don't, I guess I don't mind 'Cause when I look in your eyes, I see The agony and the ecstasy And it's become so clear to me One without the other cannot be And I know how this may sound But if I'm lost, then I don't want to be found When I'm with you, everything's just like a dream Sometimes, I feel like I've been dreaming far too long 'Cause you never give me enough to show me that it's real But it's just enough to keep me hanging on 'Cause when I look in your eyes, I see The agony and the ecstasy And it's become so clear to me One without the other cannot be And I know how this may sound But if I'm lost, then I don't want to be found I may never know where this is going You never tell me what is going on inside And I may never really know where you are taking me So I guess I'll just sit back and enjoy the ride 'Cause when I look in your eyes, I see The agony and the ecstasy And it's become so clear to me One without the other cannot be And I know how this may sound But if I'm lost, then I don't want to be found If I'm lost, then I don't want to be found If I'm lost, then I don't want to be Found

Uncharmed life Full of pain and strife I know what it's like But I don't understand at all All the time It's just the same old grind I'm gonna lose my mind Unsung hero Or undone zero? I've been both, and I know They mean the same thing in the end On and on All these days are wrong It's just the same old song So must it always be this way? Trying to make it through another day Still trying to get to the top But I'm so far down, and I can't see bottom So must it all get washed away? I don't know, but I hold on anyway Still trying to make my way home But the walls fall down And tumble down on me Me Here's the latest news I'm just so confused And I have no use For all these problems in my life Every day It's just another way Of trying to feel okay So must it always be this way? Trying to make it through another day Still trying to get to the top But I'm so far down, and I can't see bottom So must it all get washed away? I don't know, but I hold on anyway Still trying to make my way home But the walls fall down And tumble down on me Me No smiling sun In my sky above Just unrealized dreams And unrequited love Still I try in earnest Still I try in vain It never changes And it never stays the same (stays the same) Stays the same (stays the same) Yeah All the time It's just the same old grind I'm gonna lose my mind So must it always be this way? Trying to make it through another day Still trying to get to the top But I'm so far down, and I can't see bottom So must it all get washed away? I don't know, but I hold on anyway Still trying to make my way home But the walls fall down And tumble down on me Me

Hush now, baby Everything will be alright Just let me hold you And keep you safe with me tonight With you, I know I'm right where I belong I will carry you And give you strength when you get weak And when you're tired I will protect you while you sleep I used to think that all my hope was gone It's you that gives me reason to hold on What are we waiting for? Baby, it's now or never We're standing at the edge of forever Don't be afraid Just hold on tight And I'll make everything alright Nothing can stop us now And all those needless things That we left far behind Are sacrifices made To keep the dream alive We've worked too hard to have it ripped away We've come too far to let it slip away What are we waiting for? Baby, it's now or never We're standing at the edge of forever Don't be afraid Just hold on tight And I'll make everything alright Nothing can stop us now And forever will be ours Eternity belongs to you and me It's everything we hoped that it could be Just take my hand and don't look back Then, baby Baby, we'll be free You're everything You're everything to me We can't afford to wait another day Let's take this chance and make our getaway What are we waiting for? Baby, it's now or never We're standing at the edge of forever Don't be afraid Just hold on tight And I'll make everything alright Nothing can stop us now Now, now Nothing can stop us now

I've grown immune to caffeine And I'm burned out on nicotine Don't you know what I mean? I've tried heroin and cocaine But they don't seem to ease the pain Sometimes, it feels this life is just all in vain There's only one thing that can get me high And you're the fix that I've been looking for I'm a junkie A love junkie I'm addicted to the way you make me feel It's so unreal I crave for it I'm a slave for it I just can't imagine life without it There's no doubt about it You got me hooked on you A beautiful addiction I've got no inhibitions You don't have to ask for my permission You just kick off those sandals You light up a few candles Ooh, mama! You're too hot to handle You always give me more than I can stand But you always leave me wanting more I'm a junkie A love junkie I'm addicted to the way you make me feel It's so unreal I crave for it I'm a slave for it I just can't imagine life without it There's no doubt about it You got me hooked on you And when I feel the walls are closing in With you, I can kick down all the doors I'm a junkie A love junkie I'm addicted to the way you make me feel It's so unreal I crave for it I'm a slave for it I just can't imagine life without it There's no doubt about it You got me hooked on you I crave for it I'm a slave for it I just can't imagine life without it There's no doubt about it You got me hooked on you

Spineless 02:52
So you think you're king of the world? Well, how come you cry like a five year old girl? You like to think you're ruthless, I know But you're too scared and too stupid to make it go Half-baked and hard to swallow Hopeless and hard to follow The best laid plans of mice and men But you can't see anything through to the end Just because you're spineless It makes it easier to crawl like a snake in the grass Just because you're mindless It makes it easier to shove your head right up your ass You think you've got it all worked out When the time is near, you're full of doubt You think you've got a lot to prove But you're too afraid to make a move, yeah You can't talk the talk (you can't talk the talk) Someone might break your teeth You can't walk the walk (you can't walk the walk) Someone might break your knees Just because you're spineless It makes it easier to crawl like a snake in the grass Just because you're mindless It makes it easier to shove your head right up your ass You think you've got it all worked out When the time is near, you're full of doubt You think you've got a lot to prove But you're too afraid to make a move Make a move Go, go, go

Go 06:35
I don't know why it's like this now But I know what you came here for You're not welcome here anymore Yesterday, we were so close A love that I thought was strong Now I know that I was wrong All this time, gone to waste All these lines on my face You bring out the worst in me What you've done, it just ain't right Somehow, I get the blame Well, I ain't gonna play that game It's much too late to talk this out What's the use if you're not there? It's not like you even care Wasted days and sleepless nights Thoughtless words and senseless fights I've become someone that I no longer know That's why I have to let you go And there's no going back I'll ride out this great big storm And let my whole world fade to black 'Cause when it's over, I'll be free And everything will be just like it used to be Before there was you and me Time will change the way I feel And all the memories will fade Like those promises we have made I don't need you to hold me down When you're gone, I"m gonna be just fine Not regretting what I left behind Once a lover and a friend Just a stranger in the end It makes me sad, but I won't let it show Can't deny this love has died And your heart is cold inside You've become someone that I no longer know That's why I have to let you go And there's no going back I'll ride out this great big storm And let my whole world fade to black 'Cause when it's over, I'll be free And everything will be just like it used to be Before there was you and me That's why I have to let you go It cuts me like a knife But I'll grab onto what is real And I will hang on for dear life I'm gonna make it, you will see And everything will be just like it used to be There's no more you and me

Justyn Thyme 05:38
Justyn Thyme was never late For that very important date "You're just in time", someone would shout He'd say, "That's my name, don't wear it out" Justyn had a claim to fame He always lived up to his name Justyn Thyme could take the heat And never miss a beat Justyn Thyme was always just in time Justyn Thyme was always just in time Father Thyme did not approve Of Justyn's newest career move But it so appealed to Justyn Thyme To live a life of crime Justyn excelled in the art Of breaking heads and stealing hearts But Justyn never played it safe He just didn't have the time to waste Oh, yeah Justyn Thyme was always just in time Justyn Thyme was always just in time He was finally brought to rest By sixteen bullets to the chest Justyn Thyme was not late For his funeral date

about

This is my first album, and while I would consider it more of a rough demo than anything else, I am still very proud of the songs within. I have performed most of them with my former original project, The Brian Kibler Aftermath. I will revisit these songs at some point, in between working on new material I have been writing. All these songs were spawned from a specific period of my musical journey, and are not intended to reflect where I am currently at musically, or for that matter, where I am going next. Here's to the journey... Cheers! - BK
