# 1 Daddy's Girl

i used to feel like an angel held high in daddy's arms i do recall i had it all summer picnics by the lake   vacation trips, amusement parks,   picture perfect moments that high   had to crumble,  had to fall   sifting through emotions for   when momma went AWOL justify your reason for bearing me at all lest you know the secret that dragged me on this far won't you notice just this once? are we through getting through? can't be your suffering child no more here's my wakeup call can't reach the threshold without a gauge can't force reactions to pour my rage you keep searching happiness in strangers' company you're an absentee landlord you don't bother making housecalls keep speeding up my growth I swear I don't feel like a teen I'm wiser than you think I show if we have a talk you'll surely know you're happy with my anecdotes you ask me to be brief I fill a book in silence for every page I speak what...

# 2 stratacaster

Working late was how it started Leaving early, staying late Out with friends you said I believe Working out or helping neighbors You played me like a stratacaster Save the music I heard enough Wrapped every sign of misbehaving With a warm and fuzzy, feel-good tale Had no clue I was whipped and dreaming Walking blind with a candy cane Then I caught the downward spiral roller coaster crashing down You played me like a stratacaster Save the music I heard enough Hit and run without a clue You left me bleeding Now we're through two-faced schemer with one more lie looking for another try see my finger take a peek I'm not your Jesus I'm out of cheeks You played me like a stratacaster Save the music I heard enough

river keeps the old course never showing true woes undercurrents don't rise up (a)'nother longing stare face do you believe my lies? harder yet the truth dies again so tell me how... how can it be? you let me be the lie that I sold on you unwilling river keeps the old course never showing true woes undercurrents don't rise up flickering in pitiful shadows snickering in self-illusion tricked up on guilt and torment listen baby... let's hurry to where they don't care what you and I share, where there's room for private scrutiny end this hide and seek that I sold on you unwilling river keeps the old course never showing true woes undercurrents don't rise up

# 4 God, Country, Family?

God, Country, or Family? choose one out of three put your gun where you mouth is now what will it be? war is upon us using either or all three with just one God for all who pray does he ever hear what our enemies say? does he split our loyalties on fair market value for skin, religion, culture, what have you? or turn a deaf ear to the enemy's prayer? with country i don't get to reason why i'm only asked to do or die go police the world for democracy says a bundle of lies and hypocrisy i do unto others as they do unto me is it really God's country striking preemptively? aren't God and country to protect me? with family it's not a choice really what good is victory if i can't share with kin? what good is freedom when i'm left free with no one? i'll die for my country for true sanctity not to run the universe or an SUV dissent and discourse are part of the carnage one of the many in collateral damage with hundreds comin...
