True Story pt 1
Lyrics & Music by Dave Kerzner
Took a trip back to 1995
Relived those feelings and made it out alive
Wrote an album that no one’s ever heard
Based upon the truth in every word
I met a girl who asked me to move in
Put my possessions in a storage bin
Thought it was love but it turned to something else
So I left LA to drive and find myself

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
And you race to 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.

Back To One
Lyrics & Music by Dave Kerzner
Packed a bag and hit the road
With a beat up old guitar
I left a home by the sea and
Now my life is in this car
When you take a ride
With windows open wide
You can feel the breeze around you
With no one by your side
Alone again
No more playing in the sun
Those days are over
Now it’s back to one
To my so-called friends who
Barely knew my name
If I ever come back I’ll
Never be the same
You’re free to drive when life seems incomplete
Take some time to think
With just wheels beneath your feet
Alone again
No more playing in the sun
Those days are over
Now it’s back to one
Alone again
No more playing in the sun
Those days are over
It’s been one tough year
I don’t know why I’m holding back a tear
There’s no one even here
Another song for this road I’m on
And there’s nothing wrong
And I’ve known it all along
All along
Alone again
No more playing in the sun
Those days are over
Now it’s back to one

Pushed Me Out
Lyrics & Music by Dave Kerzner
Spare the talk without the same bullshit
Skip the beat around the bush let me
Through the door then out the back tension
Building up and then you just pushed me out
Pushed me out
Using words to condescend just like
Namaste you can’t pretend claim that
You’re for peace with knife in hand and that’s
why you fail to see your cold fucked up way
You pulled me in
Then pushed me out

When The Heart Sinks Like A Stone (Another Miss Broadway)
Lyrics & Music by Dave Kerzner & Kevin Gilbert
You can call me crazy
Or have I hit the mark?
Following a blind resolution
A whisper in the dark
Your particular brand of manipulation
Threw me off the grid
Now I’m questioning the logic
Of everything I did
There’s only so much denying one can do
I’m clearly better off alone
Time to wake up the soul for something new
When the heart sinks like a stone
It’d be madness if I stayed
You played a game I was not prepared for
And I missed my turn
Your broken rules would change me forever
But will I ever learn?
There’s only so much denying one can do
I’m clearly better off alone
Time to wake up the soul for something new
When the heart sinks like a stone
Leaving Miss Broadway
You can’t have my love anymore
Another Miss Broadway
You can’t have my love anymore
I’m leaving Miss Broadway
When the heart sinks like a stone

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
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

Manic Calm
A Lyrics & Music by Dave Kerzner
A tumbleweed another town
And stretches of terrain
Too much time to overthink
It’s driving you insane
You gave up all you had
An oasis by the sea
All the things left unsaid
Best to let it be
Sitting in a manic calm
Numb from what’s going on
Sitting in a manic calm
Coping with all that’s gone
Dramatic scenes and overblown
How can you deal
Suddenly your world was thrown
Don’t know what to feel
But there’s something you’ve got to learn
A shift in paradigm
There’s nothing you have to do
All you need is more time
Sitting in a manic calm
Numb from what’s going on
Sitting in a manic calm
Coping with all that’s gone
Such a fine morning
When the words seem to flow
It’s a way toward healing
Not so far to go
All you need is more time

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

To The Eye (Eye of the Storm Reprise)
Lyrics & Music by Dave Kerzner
Red hail
Rewind
Dark clouds
Filled your mind
Tearing your ship apart
Like a strange sadistic art
War lost
Tongue tied
Big blast
The skies cried
Steady you’re world’s apart
There’s no place for your heart
And it’s safe in the eye of the storm
