To The Eye of the Storm
Lyrics & Music by Dave Kerzner
Red hail
Rewind
Dark clouds
Fill your mind
Peace lives down the line
Through a field of littered mines
War lost
Tongue tied
Big blast
The skies cried
Peace lives down the line
Through a field of littered mines
And you race to the eye of the storm
Burnout
Flash flood
Octane
In your blood
Peace lives down the line
Through a field of littered mines
It's safe in the eye of the storm
There’s chaos all around
But you know
It’s calm where you are
It’s calm where you are

Dreaming in LA
Lyrics & Music by Dave Kerzner
A little tale about living in LA
Fancy cars and envy
Spinning wheels and breaks
Tommy got a six string
Sheila got a G-string
Money, fame and a pipe dream
Whatever it takes
All for 15 minutes
or flavor of the week
Tommy became a rocker
Sheila became a freak
When they finally met
There were sparks in the air
A chance to hit the big time
and do it as a pair
Don’t wanna be
Waiting for fortune and fame
Don’t wanna be
Bound by the rules of the game
Don’t want to be
A poser with a name
Dreaming in LA
Tommy got a record deal
Went right up his nose
Sheila was an “actor”
On reality shows
They dropped him off the label
They pushed her out the door
They were hanging out on Sunset
Begging for more
Don’t wanna be
Waiting for fortune and fame
Don’t wanna be
Bound by the rules of the game
Don’t want to be
A poser with a name
Dreaming in LA
Don’t wanna be
Don’t wanna be a wanna be
Eleven years later
...
They were sitting at a bar
Came to a realization
They weren’t getting too far
So they threw in the towel
They were done with LA
Packed up their dreams
and faded away
Don’t wanna be
Waiting for fortune and fame
Don’t wanna be
Bound by the rules of the game
Don’t want to be
A poser with a name
Dreaming in LA
Lights. Camera. Action

Genevieve
Lyrics & Music by Dave Kerzner
Genevieve a mystical girl
Who no one really knows
A rare kind in this world
And here’s how the legend goes
She lived by the sea
And men came there to please
She lured them in with song
And brought them to their knees
The door was open for you Genevieve
You lost your chance to make me believe
The door was open to save your drifting soul
What will it take to make you whole?
Like a wolf in sheep’s clothing
She’d smile when she lied
Full of fear and loathing
Unknown to the outside
She fed on the brighter hopes of men
A cold-hearted game
She made bitter fools out of them
And they left in shame
The door was open for you Genevieve
You lost your chance to make me believe
The door was open to save your drifting soul
What will it take to make you whole?
Far away
From across the sea
I heard a sound
Her voice was calling me
Then she tore my ship apart
Like a strange sadistic art
Who could believe such cunning to deceive?
An alluring creature with tricks up her sleeve
So long Genevieve
The door was open for you Genevieve
You lost your chance to make me believe
Make me believe
The door was open to save your drifting soul
What will it take to make you whole?
Genevieve left a trail of love crimes
And a wake full of woes
Like a siren for these modern times
And that’s how the legend goes
But a word of warning to the wise
Don’t be so bold
As to look into her eyes
She can turn your heart to stone
To stone.
So long Genevieve

Worlds Apart
Lyrics & Music by Dave Kerzner
I called out to reach you
Cause I don’t know where to go
Into the horizon
Or back to what I know
You’re in my mind
But I must break free
Love so blind
Yet it’s plain to see
You’re worlds apart from me
I’ve no sense of direction
Just away from what went wrong
You offer no redemption
Where do I belong?
You’re in my mind
But I must break free
Love so blind
Yet it’s plain to see
You’re worlds apart from me
With our stars colliding
We survive somehow
Emerging from the fallout
There’s nothing left but now
All we feel
And there’s nothing left but now
There’s nothing left but now
Ohhh
You’re worlds apart from me
From me
You’re worlds apart
You’re worlds apart
You’re worlds apart
From me
From me
From me

Dirty Girl
Lyrics & Music by Dave Kerzner
She waits tables at the pitstop grill open thru the night
She’s got a devious mind and an innocent smile
It was getting late with no luck finding a place nearby
No hotels there for miles and miles
Shift’s done
She said she’d take me home with her alright
She’s a willing party for anything that you desire
Daddy’s not home so there’s no need to hide
Just a creepy bro in the other room but he pays no mind
She said it’s either this or you can sleep outside
With the stars and one eye open all the time.
She’s a dirty girl
Repressed from her needs
Dirty girl
Willing to do the deed
Dirty girl
Are you ready to proceed?
Dirty Girl
I found myself in a sleeping bag under the midnight sky
Like a camping trip of the stranger kind
I was lonely so I chose to sit there and ponder why
Some fast action or piece of mind?
Or just fun and a good time?
She’s a dirty girl
Repressed from her needs
Dirty girl
Willing to do the deed
Dirty girl
Are you ready to proceed?
Dirty Girl
All she wants is some love
And anyone will do
Could it be a quick fix for the heart
For someone passing through?
Every week it’s the same
Treats it like it’s a game
And she plays it to win
There’s trouble at home when she’s left alone
Alcohol and sin
Strip down
She’s got Jesus on the wall
And a cheeky brother down the hall
No it’s not really weird at all
She’s a dirty girl
Repressed from her needs
Dirty girl
Willing to do the deed
Dirty girl
Are you ready to proceed?
Dirty girl

Too Far Gone
Lyrics & Music by Dave Kerzner
Of all the paths to take
You had to choose the one with ache
Now you’re lost in nowhere’s land
Can’t see home from where you stand
Left to face your own device
You went against some sound advice
Underneath a shell that’s hollow
A bitter truth that’s hard to swallow
Looking ahead
At endless lines
Paved across the heart land mines
Too far gone
Too far gone
Keep moving on
Soon you will come back to life
Too far gone
Keep moving on
Soon you will come back to life
You hear the talk that hurts your pride
What to do you must decide
Pay a cost for being right
And forfeit all to win that fight
There’s no sense in feeling shame
Neither side is all to blame
Nothing can erase the pain
Except the washing of the rain
Looking ahead
At endless lines
Paved across the heart land mines
Too far gone
Too far gone
Keep moving on
Soon you will come back to life
Too far gone
Keep moving on
Soon you will come back to life
Looking ahead
At endless lines
Paved across the heart land mines
Too far gone
Too far gone
Keep moving on
Soon you will come back to life
Too far gone
Keep moving on
Soon you will come back to life
