Badlands 03:27
Badlands Antigone Rising\True Joy Camps, Henderson, McKenna You are badlands, South Dakota you are beach sand, near the border I am stranded at the crossroads, staring up at the moon wishing I could get to you You are morning light on a white sheet You are a whisper spoken just to me And I am drifting, maybe I had a few If I lose myself, don't be surprised I've been waiting a long time, long time Wishing I could get to you I keep a picture of you on the fire escape Tossing confetti onto a street parade We are weightless above the avenue BRIDGE Don't be so restless now, I'm on my way

It!s Gonna Be Alright (Hey Hey) Antigone Rising\True Joy Camps, C. Henderson Hey Hey It!s gonna be alright You!re walking around saying where is my true joy? Where is my true joy now? You!re walking around saying where is my true joy? Where is my true joy now? But the one place you wont look Is that little corner in your heart That!s been broken real good Hey Hey It!s gonna be alright The deep down dirt is gonna kill you dead, gonna kill you dead somehow The deep down dirt is gonna kill you dead, gonna kill you dead somehow Life never goes as planned But there can be hope and good Right where you stand Hey Hey It!s gonna be alright The things that heal your heart and soul take time Don!t let your thoughts run away with your mind It!s gonna be alright You're rusted and weary stuck in the deep blue, stuck in the deep blue You're rusted and weary stuck in the deep blue, stuck in the deep blue There's a healing that will transform There is mercy in love Let it bring you home

Avalanche 04:56
Avalanche Antigone Rising\True Joy Camps, Kellogg 
 In a town that looks like yours, on a street that looks like mine
 “Kids will just be kids” when they!re cruel and they!re unkind
 It happens every day and we just let it slide
 “Kids will just be kids” ain't enough for me this time
 
 This is gonna be an avalanche
 When the hammer falls down you better know where you want to stand
 Cuz saying nothing at all is gonna send a message i don!t want to send
 Yeah this is gonna be an avalanche
 
 We watch it on the news as the story starts to break
 A teenage kid entitled to take what he could take
 We victimize the victim till she no longer has a face
 Call it what you will, but to me it!s a disgrace
 
 This is gonna be an avalanche
 When the hammer falls down you better know where you want to stand
 Cuz saying nothing at all is gonna send a message i don't want to send
 Yeah this is gonna be an avalanche
 
 Sometimes it takes a minute to feel your feet below
 The ground under you shaking and you've been dealt an awful blow
 But the sound of your own courage is a bellow soft and slow
 And this is where it starts, here is where it grows
 
 Bridge
 20 sticks of dynamite
 Each one minute of her life
 Lighting up what!s wrong and right
 Watch it slide, watch it slide

Right There With You Antigone Rising/True Joy Camps, Kellogg When you’re lost, worn out and weary And this life weighs you down like a stone There’s no stars to guide you and no-one to hold but there in the darkness, you’re not alone Where there is pain, there you will find me Where there is love, i’ll be there too I will be right there with you When grace she feels like a memory An embrace that has long left you cold And it’s hard to remember the faith you have known the one thing that I know is you’re not alone Where there is pain, there you will find me Where there is love, i’ll be there too I will be right there with you There are times you can’t help but falter When the crown is too heavy to hold When your spirit has ceased to be hopeful You will be carried, you’re not alone Where there is pain, there you will find me Where there is love, i’ll be there too When you’re searching for peace, when you’re down on your knees I will be right there with you

Well I lay my head on the railroad track Waiting on the Double E But the train don't run by here no more Poor poor pitiful me Poor poor pitiful me Poor poor pitiful me Oh, these boys won't let me be Lord have mercy on me Woe, woe is me Well I met a man out in Hollywood Now, I ain't naming names Well he really worked me over good Just like Jesse James Yes he really worked me over good He was a credit to his gender Put me through some changes, Lord Sort of like a Waring blender Poor poor pitiful me Poor poor pitiful me Oh these boys won't let me be Lord, have mercy on me Woe, woe is me Well, I met a boy in the Vieux Carres Down in Yokohama He picked me up and he threw me down He said "Please don't hurt me Mama" Poor poor pitiful me Poor poor pitiful me Oh these boys won't let me be Lord have mercy on me Woe woe is me Poor poor poor me Poor poor pitiful me Poor poor poor me Poor poor pitiful me Poor poor poor me Poor poor pitiful me

Switchblade 03:42
Switchlande Antigone Rising/True Joy Camps, Pacifico, K Henderson Spinning alone watching the door for Anything to hit the spring, pull me out, to pull me in Tattooed on me the pain of wanting everything Make it stop, cut me in or cut me off I’m a bullet in a barrel babe I pull the trigger for the hell of it Cuz baby i’m addicted I’m dancing on a switch blade I’m a repeat offender The sirens telling me surrender Bouncing like a ricochet I’m dancing on a switch blade A smile, a quick lie watch me, as I Use a mask, hide the grief, pat me down, i’m a thief One last one more a slip a score Double down chase the high fire burnin in my eyes Bridge I’ve been here before no one wants to wage the same old war no matter what i say one last taste is all i’m good for

Take It Easy 04:15
Well, I'm a-running down the road Tryin' to loosen my load I've got seven women on my mind Four that wanna own me Two that wanna stone me One says she's a friend of mine Take it easy, take it easy Don't let the sound of your own wheels drive you crazy Lighten up while you still can Don't even try to understand Just find a place to make your stand And take it easy Well, I'm a-standing on a corner In Winslow, Arizona Such a fine sight to see It's a girl, my Lord In a flat-bed Ford Slowin' down to take a look at me Come on, baby Don't say "Maybe" I gotta know If your sweet love Is gonna save me We may lose and we may win Though we will never be here again So open up, I'm climbin' in So take it easy Well, I'm running down the road Trying to loosen my load Got a world of trouble on my mind Lookin' for a lover Who won't blow my cover She's so hard to find Take it easy, take it easy Don't let the sound of your own wheels make you crazy Come on, baby Don't say "Maybe" I gotta know If your sweet love Is gonna save me Oh we got it easy We oughta take it easy
