Dukka By: Joshua Letkeman Sail away, it's the only way Sail away, becomes the only When dead in the sea, becomes the way that you breathe Remembering me, feels like nothing to me And i said Sometimes i wonder what made you And others i wonder what's next Sometimes i wonder who saved you And others i wonder your dead As hurt as i'll be, and when anger will seethe Seething you see, came from you passed to me So when two become hurt, and you no longer wonder What has gone wrong, where we were all along And i said Sometimes i wonder what made you And others i wonder what's next Sometimes i wonder who saved you Sometimes i know that Sometimes i know that Sometimes i know your dead

And I Love You... By: Joshua Letkeman Jan 6/2012 Friday 1pm-1:30pm Prologue: 1 They found my reflection, 30 years, empty shells And she swore she heard the ocean in my head And in a darkened womb they whisper: Hail to the dead! Her tree, born broken, paper wings that fail(ed) to fly And she swore she heard the ocean in my head And in a darkened room i hear him, they worship as he read (All my life!) Refrain: A small light floats behind you (And) before the waves can take it's life, You once had a family, Now you have a knife Beyond your dead horizon as you struggle through the night, Remember we've been with you all your life (A rifle cocked and ready) 2 Steady trigger, steady finger, once steady steps now drenched in pain Lie with me my true love, fill my body once again My fruits bare seeds of evil, my eyes no longer cleansed/Stained As you spin a web of reason, then a web made of denial Beneath the dirt, you know your soul will lie And in a darkened tomb they whisper: All who suffer, one day rise! Refrain: A small light floats beside you And before the waves can take it's life, You once had a family, Now you have a knife Beyond your dead horizon as you struggle through the night, Remember we've been with you all your life And please remember we're still with you Epilogue: (They found) my reflection, 30 years, empty shell The last thing spoke between us was: I LOVE YOU, COME BACK HOME!

To Get Us Through By: Joshua Letkeman I went to the city, and I didn't like what i saw So i went to the country, And ran barefoot alone I spread my wings, I spread my soul I spread my love, And i hope (that) it grows CH - i will be free, I will be free, I will be free, I'll be healthy So I shed my skin, I stripped away All of the burdens, that had got ahold of me And down by the river, i sat and thought The time i've wasted, the love i gave up CH - i will be free, I will be free, I will be free, I'll be healthy I enjoyed the beauty, i searched my soul I cried forgiveness, and i become whole So if you're still walking, and it's not to late Oh may i walk dear, with you through that gate LET'S CUT OUR CHAINS, LET'S SHED OUR PAIN LET'S GROW TOGETHER, AND BECOME SOULS WHO ARE FREE (SO LET SOME LIGHT SHINE IN!!) Yes i believe, that good soul's may part But i'll walk through darkness, and keep on searching for your spark So if you're out there, and you have hope Please just hang on, love will find you, you know Please just hang on, love will find you, you know SO JUST HANG ON, LOVE WILL FIND YOU, YOU KNOW OH JUST HANG ON, LOVE WILL FIND YOU, YOU KNOW OH JUST HANG ON, LOVE WILL FIND YOU, YOU KNOW

Cold dark tomb, I trust that you will hear me calling for a... Broken chain, a home away from all i've known And i'm, scared to say, i need a guide, but wait i still am pleading with you, won't you CHORUS
