Fear is a Children, Written and Performed by Jaclyn Shaw©2007
Fear is a child lost and misguided
Give her your love and she'll send you to hell
And when she finds a place on earth
Chaos nods its head in silence
So come to my home
I think that you'll like it
Lay down your head
On my shoulder to cry
People are mean
They'll hate you for trying
Don't you let the fear they possess
Make you distrust me
Cause life is hard and it tares me in two
So, sit down and shut up and do what I told
Fo your own good
Yeah, for your own good
Fear is a child lost and misguided
Give her your love and she'll send you to hell
And when she finds a place on earth
Chaos nods its head in silence
So come to my home
I think that you'll like it
Lay down your head
On my shoulder to cry
People are mean
They'll hate you for trying
But don't you let the fear they possess
Make you distrust me
Cause life is hard and it tares me in two
So, sit down and shut up and do what I told
Fo your own good
Yeah, for your own good
Yes, life is hard and it tares me in two
So, sit down and shut up and do what I told
Cause I need you...
Oh, yes I do ...
You know it's hard sometimes
Oh, they'll try to test you sometimes
and I can't do it all on my own

"This Time," © 2007 Written and Performed by Jaclyn Shaw
Papa, do you see the way they look at me?
Like wolves amongst sheep
They swallow my soul
I know you gave me all
I want
But right now I want
Less than I got
Cause it's hard when you've had it all
I need to stand alone this time
Papa, don't you cry
This world was made for me to stand
This world was made for me to soar
Papa, they broke my legs
Now, I'll never walk again
My face is filled with sweat and spit
I'm a soiled mess
Papa, my heart they tore
They took away my pride
Now, shamed I lie
Inside a broken shell
I need to stand alone this time
Papa, don't you cry
This world was made for me to stand
This world was made for me to soar
Soar above the gentle mountains
I am free again
In the sun rays
I dance
Alone

"Golden Itch," © 2007 Written and Performed by Jaclyn Shaw
The Lord has blessed me with feeling
Cupid has sprung clear flying spears
And I'm maintaining my posture with a solid golden itch
Do you feel my stifled breathing?
My world has stopped spinning
You have been charmed by many
And I wonder if I'm unusual
Do you recall why I feel so empty?
And will you use what I say against me?
I know you've been hit with dazzling scenes
Of memory flashes and forgotten dreams
And I feel my touch can heal your wounds
I can save you if you want me to
And I've been broken myself
Didn't know what love was
'till the tenth time around
Don't know what I've lost
Don't know what I've gained
The future surrounds us with triumphs and pain
Will you hold me through it all?
Will you hold me through them all?
Do you recall
Do ya? Do ya? Do ya? Do ya? Do ya? Do ya? Do ya?
Do you recall why I feel so empty?
And will you use what I say against me?
I know you've been hit with dazzling scenes
Of memory flashes and forgotten dreams
And I feel my touch can heal your wounds
I can save you if you want me to

"Anthony, I Could Have Dreamed You," © 2007 Written and Performed by Jaclyn Shaw
I could have dreamed you
You're so lovely to me
And in the middle of my life story
You came in on a chapter
Of misery
And you arrived so fine
With your green eyes
They speak volumes to me
Cause the grass is a steady green
When looking from my fenced in fury
Anthony, Anthony
I wish I spied you sooner...
Oh, Anthony, Anthony
You taught me to trust again
Again...
And I withdrawn for so long
Thinking you existed but in a song
And I'd plant them one by one
Into the footsteps you left
As you strolled along
And you arrived so fine
With your green eyes
They speak volumes to me
Cause the grass is a steady green
When looking from my fenced in fury
Anthony, Anthony
I wish I spied you sooner...
Oh, Anthony, Anthony
You taught me to trust again
Ooh Ooh Ohah eh Ooh Ooh Ohah eh

No Warmth for Modron

"No Warmth for Modron," © 2007 Written and Performed by Jaclyn Shaw
I recall the sitting
A truck of heavy glances
Sitting high on the heavenly hog
Praised be your soft advances
And I did sip from your chalice
Bowed before your heavenly air
We prayed to those wise spirits
Those maudlin ghosts
Who charmed us there
Ooh Ooh Ooh
And I know
You crave my "I love you's"
But I have no vows to whisper
My heart chants beats that only reap
What had been sewn
Eros sang unto your slumber
Nightmares tiptoed through your bosom
You overflowed with motion
As I drowned into the Styx streaming
And you search for my longing
That splendid feel that flies you higher
As time ticks and we get closer
To the edge
Of what we thought forbidden
Ooh Ooh Ooh
And I know
You crave my "I love you's"
And I have no vows to whisper
But that tryst has passed into the river
Growling Deamon spurred my heart
He threw me into nothing...
Yeah, you know
You throw me into nothing...
No warmth released for Modron
No clothing for her fancy
No desire clinging
No desire clinging
No desire left for you young one...
