Nothing is Changing (Neil J. Harnett © 1996 Socan) My cellular didn’t change my life Either did my beautiful wife Woh no, nothing is changing My virtual reality Trips me off into fantasy But oh no, oh nothing is changing A voice in my mind says Seek and you will find I hear it in my head say Follow where your heart is led Oh, no nothing is changing Could it just be my point of view No, nothing is changing Could it just be these eyes That I’ve been looking through The swimming pool in my back yard Can cool the heat, but it can’t cool this fever Burning in my heart My bank account is overflowing But in my soul There’s still this empty throne Where nothing matters anymore Nothing matters no Nothing matters anymore Nothing matters no A voice in my mind says Seek and you will find I hear it in my head say Follow where your heart is led Oh no, nothing is changing Could it just be my point of view Nothing is changing Could it just be these lies That I’ve been looking through Oh nothing is changing Nothing is changing…

Deeper 04:34
Deeper (Neil J. Harnett © 1996 Socan) Somewhere in your heart there is a key To unlock the door and set you free From all of your pain and all of your fears Make all your sadness disappear You know I still believe That all it takes is time From where I stand I see Life is a mountain we can climb And we will grow Stronger in the light of our love Reachin’ for the heavens above Deeper and deeper we grow And I will always be there by your side Through the longest day and the darkest night I will never leave, we will survive Our hearts will keep this love alive As long as we can dream The fire burns inside The brightest star I’ve seen Is shinin’ in your eyes Oh and we will grow Stronger in the light of our love Reachin’ for the heavens above Deeper and deeper we grow Sometimes I feel just like A frightened lonely child But in your arms tonight All my fears are miles away We will grow Stronger in the light of our love Reachin’ for the heavens above Deeper and deeper we grow Stronger in the light of our love Reachin’ for the heavens above Deeper and deeper we grow Stronger in the light of our love Reachin’ for the heavens above Deeper and deeper we grow Deeper and deeper In the light of our love

Blink Of An Eye (Neil Harnett © 1996 Socan) Well life is so fast in these modern times Take off like a flash and you can stop on a dime But the fastest thing that I ever did see Is the change of a heart and the end of a dream In the blink of an eye like a flash of light Hearts can change over night Shatter your dreams and rip your soul Leave you searchin’ for control In the blink of an eye woh oh oh Blink of an eye woh oh oh… I never saw it comin’ out of the blue Without a warnin’ you just said we were through May not be no genius but I ain’t that dumb Just yesterday you said I was your number one Well in the blink of an eye like a flash of light Hearts can change over night Shatter your dreams and rip your soul Leave you searchin’ for control In the blink of an eye My whole world turned upside down And in a single heartbeat All my dreams came crashing down In the blink of an eye like a flash of light Hearts can change over night Shatter your dreams and rip your soul Leave you searchin’ for control In the blink of an eye woh oh oh Blink of an eye woh oh oh…

Rubber Room Day (Neil J. Harnett © Socan) Got that feeling that I don’t like There’s a war zone in my head A million voices can’t be all right I might as well go back to bed Underneath the covers shut out the daylight But I can’t turn off my brain Feels like I’m waiting at a long light And it’s never gonna change Like a camera out of focus, like a singer out of key Something’s pushing me right to the edge of sanity Like a rhythm I can’t feel, like a drummer out of time This feelin’ that I’ve got is driving me out of my mind It’s a Rubber Room Day I’m bouncing off the walls The Devil wants to play But God is in the hall On this Rubber Room Day Feels like I should be doin’ something But I don’t know what it is I just can’t find no explanation Can’t find no answer to this quiz Got an itch that I just can’t scratch And it just won’t go away Feels like I’m inside an egg that won’t hatch I feel a meltdown on the way Like an astronaut that’s weightless with no feet upon the ground I’m floatin’ somewhere aimless I don’t know where I’m bound Like a wise man with no wisdom, like a millionaire that’s broke Nothing’s fitting in to this puzzle of a joke It’s a Rubber Room Day I’m bouncing off the walls The Devil wants to play But God is in the hall On this Rubber Room Day It’s a Rubber Room Day I’m climbing up the walls It’s a Rubber Room Day I won’t be taking any calls It’s a Rubber Room Day I’m bouncing off the walls The Devil is in the hall On this Rubber Room Day Rubber Room Day…

I Need You Real (Neil Harnett © 1996 Socan) I’m so scared my soul is shakin’ My nerves are bare I feel forsaken There’s bones in the closet and monsters underneath my bed I know It’s true I might be crazy This line to you is gettin’ hazy But you know I can’t stop these pictures goin’ round in my head I said Baby don’t run no don’t you run away from me I’m comin’ undone, I’m beggin’ you to stay, oh please I need you real…I need you real I pushed your heart right to the limit I made my bed and now I’m in it I’m loosin’ count but I still can’t sleep at all We’re like the moon, yeh we’re like the weather Kinda spooky when we come together There’s static in the air and the pressure is startin’ to fall Baby don’t run, no don’t you run away from me I’m comin’ undone, I’m beggin’ you to stay, oh please . . . Momma said, Daddy said We need you real…I need you real…

Watchin' You 04:07
Watchin’ You (Neil J. Harnett © 1996 Socan) I thought I’d bin around, covered all the ground Thought I’d seen it all But then I met you, and you were all I could take May not be love, but I’ve started to fall Oh lady I, I’ve got my eye on you I bin watchin’ you all night Oh lady I, I’ve got my eye on you You’re in my sights, alright I bin watchin’ you all night I hope it shows, ’cause I want you to know That there’s nothing I can do I’m hypnotized, I’m captured in your eyes Show me the door that leads to you Oh lady I, I’ve got my eye on you I bin watchin’ you all night Oh lady I, I’ve got my eye on you You’re in my sights alright I bin watchin’ you all night Oh lady I, I’ve got my eye on you I bin watchin’ you all night Oh lady I, I’ve got my eye on you You make me feel all right Oh lady I, I’ve got my eye on you You’re in my sights alright I bin watchin’ you all night I bin watchin’ you I bin waitin’, I’ve bin prayin’ I bin hopin’ for you, all night, alright I bin watchin’ you, watchin’ you I bin watchin’ you, watchin’ you…

Broken Ties 04:37
Broken Ties (Neil J. Harnett © 1996 Socan) I wanted so, to watch you grow Day by day But here we are, in separate homes And there was nothin’ I could say And as you walk, these neon streets You hear a minstrel in the night His song is true, he’s calling you To do those things you know are right Broken dreams they leave me, with tears in my eyes Knowin’ I cannot pretend, we can never mend these Broken ties, ties that use to bind How could we be so blind? To just let it fade away So many young hearts pay for broken ties And as this light of life, flashes by So many changes I won’t see And though I’m here in distant love Won’t you please remember me Broken hearts they leave me, with tears in my eyes Knowin’ I cannot pretend, we can never mend these Broken ties, ties that use to bind How could we be so blind To just let it fade away So many young hearts pay for broken ties Brokent Ties…

No Pain 04:32
No Pain (Neil J. Harnett © 1996 Marinated Music/Socan) She puts her red dress on She’s goin’ out tonight Can’t stand another moment in this light Starlight is on her skin Moon is starin’ like an eye And as the stranger moves she starts to cry Woh I…I don’t wanna feel no pain no Woh I…I don’t wanna feel no pain I don’t wanna feel no pain…no, no more pain He stares at the photographs Time frozen in a frame God he prays just take me home again Prisoner to his world of fear He’s captive to his room And as he puts the needle to the spoon he cries… Oh I…I don’t wanna feel no pain oh Woh I…Oh I, I don’t wanna feel no pain No, no don’t give me no more pain (no more pain) I don’t wanna feel no pain no more, no, no, no more pain Woh I, I, I , I (no more pain) I don’t wanna feel no pain, I don’t wanna feel no pain I don’t wanna feel no pain, I don’t wanna feel no pain, I don’t wanna feel no more pain

Into The Emptiness (Neil J. Harnett © 1996 Socan) We were born with choices That’s what I heard somebody say But it’s not that easy to know Just when you’ve lost your way It isn’t ’til you get there Sometimes that’s what it takes to see The place you’ve gotten to Is not the place you want to be So I’m gonna try again I know I’m gonna loose If I’m ever gonna win I’m gonna fall down, get back up again Walk in the emptiness, make it my best friend I’m gonna fall down, get back up again Walk in the emptiness, make it my best friend In this heart of passion There burns an all consuming fire Drivin’ by the hunger Of my insatiable desire But I can never fill The appetite of mystery The more that I embrace This emptiness the more I’m free I won’t let this fear Hold me back no more as long as I am here I’m gonna fall down, get back up again Walk in the emptiness, make it my best friend Fall down, get back up again Walk in the emptiness, make it my best friend Into the emptiness…

Guardian Angel (Neil J. Harnett © 1996 Socan) I, I, I get so lost sometime Trapped in the maze I built in my mind I pray you hear me in the still of the night When I’m too scared to run and too tired to fight I’m frozen in time, shackled by fear So I’m calling on you through a veil of tears Somewhere I lost sight of my guiding star Come to me now, wherever you are My guardian angel, wherever I roam My guardian angel, carry me home Heart full of pain, so empty of faith My hands on the wheel but I’m going no place Critically wounded in this battle for life I need your love to heal me tonight My guardian angel, wherever I roam My guardian angel, carry me home Lead me home Oh the road seems so long sometimes And everything seems wrong and here in my mind I’m building mountains impossible to climb My guardian angel, wherever I roam My guardian angel, carry me home Carry me home My little guardian angel, carry me home oh yeah Guardian angel, carry me home, oh yeah

I See You 05:37
I See You (Neil J. Harnett © 1996 Socan) Lookin’ like a silhouette, she’s walkin’ all alone Past all the shops closed for the day Can’t find no reason for goin’ home Nobody seems to notice anyway But before you think that I Don’t see your hopes and all your dreams Don’t you ever believe, that you’re invisible ‘Cause don’t you know When I look into your eyes, oh baby I see you Right through your disguises, baby, I see you Remember baby, I see you Don’t you know that, I see you Yesterday I felt like a transparency I could feel the wind blow through my soul A big empty house, full of vacancy Lord how I long to be whole She said, before you think that I Don’t see your pain and all your fears Don’t you ever believe, that you’re invisible ’Cause don’t you know When I look into your eyes, oh baby I see you Right through your disguises, baby, I see you Remember baby, I see you Every little tear, I see you When I look into your eyes, oh baby I see you Right through your disguises baby, I see you Remember baby, I see you Every little tear, I see you All your hopes and fears, I see you Everything you do, I see you, I see you…

Time to Believe (Neil J. Harnett © 1996 Socan) Don’t have to run You don’t have to hide in the dark Bright as the sun Burnin’ deep inside of your heart Burns the reason we live So don’t hold back what you give Just believe who you are We made it this far, your heart is calling Time to believe in the truth, (believe in yourself) In your heart where it lives Hear the calling of love That we need to give I can tell looking In your eyes That you are in pain All of the worries and all the lies Have beat you down again But don’t buy into the hate You know it’s never too late Be the love that you feel The truth that is real Jump for joy Shake away the chains of fear Don’t destroy another day Listen and you will hear, your heart is calling Time to believe in the truth, (believe in yourself) In your heart where it lives Hear the calling of love That we need to give, hear the calling of your heart Time to believe in the truth, (believe in yourself) In your heart where it lives Hear the calling of love, we need to give Your heart is calling Time to believe…
