Poise
Words by S. Rygiel
You’re telling us its all noise but this is my one and only poise. My way to relax so kick back, listen, and stay away from the worlds ax.
CHORUS:
I’m sorry if I disturbed your slumber but I’ve got to have fun before he picks my number.
The only way to be heard in a crowd is to be to fucking loud. Look at me this is a quiet person who’s where he wants to be.
CHORUS
I’ve found my love and nothings going to stop me things couldn’t be better, don’t you see. It doesn’t matter if you like it or not cause I’m the one that on the spot.

Returning to you
Words by S.Rygiel
Man- Like having the sea but wanting the sky I’ve got the wings but there’s no reason to fly.
Woman- Looking into his eyes I see your smile holding him still loving you all the while.
CHORUS:
Woman- I talk to him yet I’m dreaming of you
I’m with her but wishing she was you.
Both- I’m Lost and my hearts Returning to you.
Woman- There was a time when the flame was just a flicker, when there was no sun to warm my day.
Man- I had forgotten how it felt to care for someone like I care for you.
CHORUS
Women- Let me go and if I come back to you then you know our love is true.
Man- You’ll always have a special place in my heart even if forever keeps us apart.

It's Christmas time again
Words by S. Rygiel
Christmas trees all decorated with lights a cold breeze outside you and cuddle next to the fire these nights. The turkey is in the oven and the stockings are hung there’s people outside who have carols to be sung.
CHORUS:
It's getting to be that time of year,
Where the air is filled with so much cheer.
Evergreens and ornaments,
Santa Claus and eight reindeer,
Yeah, it's Christmas time again.
Dasher Dancer Prancer and Vixen bring Santa to town when the snow is stickin, Commit Cupid Donner and Blitzin pull the sleigh for its ride they all help him deliver gifts to the children inside.
CHORUS
Traditions that stem from years of families gathered around the table everyone welcomes the baby who is nestled in the stable. Trying to find the perfect gift but it’s not about the presents it’s the time of year to help your fellow man and keep loved ones near.
Christmas Casualties
Words by S. Rygiel
I’m working right now and can’t be home my wife is cooking Christmas dinner all alone.
The in-laws are fighting about who gets to carve the turkey, the fire is dying but no
one seems to see because the kids are having a cow.
CHORUS:
T’is the season to be jolly, wish I could smoke some of that Holly.
Now you see, it’s just another one of those Christmas Casualties
The tree fell over and broke all the lights now cleaning up water, glass and sap has kept me
from enjoying my long winters nap. I’d like to deck the neighbor instead of the halls we
found out she’s the one who’s been making all the crank calls.
CHORUS
Rudolph missed out house this year so Santa didn’t stop he just took a big shit while flying
over our roof top. Just another Christmas of mine, every now and then I miss that
Auld Lang Syne.
Searching
Words by S.Rygiel
Music by M.Thomas
I've been struck again there's nothing more to hide cause your voice has died. If I follow my lost friend he'll soon lead me home. No man can serve two masters just try to avoid the disasters.
CHORUS:
Searching-I've got to find the answer alone.
Searching-When the wine is in the wit is out.
Searching-For the road to lead me home
the truth is followed by doubt.
I've wasted my eyes I can't taste my lies anymore. It brings me down the river as I say my last good-by. Finding out what I'm looking for the poison within control's you forevermore.
CHORUS
SOLO
Searching-for something that will never be found.
Searching-the memories are leaving me.
Searching-No longer will I be around.
Searching-I've shown you all you need to see.

Another Sticky Situation
Words by S.Rygiel
Can’t go home tonight because once again my girl and I got in a fight, Cops got called and I got the blame now there’s a warrant with my name. Running from the law I’ll just move to another state.
CHORUS:
Another Sticky Situation, I’ve given myself a bad reputation. I’ve done this before, now no one will believe me anymore.
Ripped off my mom, stole my dads tom-tom.
This time they came down hard, shouldn’t have used her credit card. Another kid on the way but it wasn’t love, I just didn’t want to wear a glove.
CHORUS
I’ve burnt my last bridge; I’m teetering on the edge of ridge. An application for a fresh start, but wait what was my last arrest date.
SOLO
CHORUS
I can’t bullshit the bull shitters times like these I wish I could call in a pinch hitter. Opps I did it again went and lost another friend, but JD and me will be tight till the end.
My Way or No Way(#2513)
Words by: S.Rygiel
Freedom to choose is not an option in this case just listen to the words that are coming out of my face. If you can’t understand I’ll spell it out for you I’m in control and I say what we do.
CHORUS:
There’s two ways to do this so don’t argue with me, open your eyes and you will see that it’s my way or no way.
I don’t mean to be a dick but I’m looking out for number one there’s no trick to this if you like it then I’m sorry son. I’m the Boss the ball is in my court like I said I’m the last resort.
CHORUS
This time were playing by my rules because if not your just going to lose. I know you don’t see it now but you will in the end, these rules don’t bend. Your wasting your time discussing it because to tell you the truth… I don’t give a shit.
SOLO
YOURS TRULY
Words by S.Rygiel
A small reminder that I'll always be there for you and that I haven't forgotten all that you've done. Hand delivered with care because I remembered to let you know that you'll always be the only one.
CHORUS:
I know that it's late but I needed to hear your soft voice. It reassure's me that you'll always love yours truly.
Just a little note to tell you that your on my mind atleast someone is thinking of you. Maybe I'm crazy to think I missed out on something still being alone is better then nothing.
CHORUS
Your feelings aren't mutual but puppy dog’s need attention too. I don't mean to sound selfish but has it hit you yet that you fuckin' forgot about me. I wonder if you'll always love yours truly.
SOCIAL GATHERING
Words by S.Rygiel
The guy behind me is ready to explode he says "I've been hear to long and the scenery is growing old." how much longer will this take grow up and live with it for heaven's sake.
CHORUS:
This isn't a social gathering
I didn't wana come,but I don't wana go.
This isn't a social gathering
I'm hear for a reason,why me I don't know.
Cry all you want it'll get you no where you pain in the ass do you think I really care. There's no way out not an exit anywhere you mean I'm stuck here with out a dought.
CHORUS
"Life's what you make of it" I said don't you see this may mean nothing to you still it mean's a lot to me. Your some where You'd rather not be but I could get used to this if you could get used to me.

Clearing things up
Words by S.Rygiel
You told me you loved me now I realize I have no feelings for you, I finally get what I want but it’s not what I need. There no such thing as a soul mate only someone willing to tolerate.
CHORUS:
In case I didn’t tell you my life sucks this should clear things up. I had writers block but this waste they call living broke open that lock.
Every girl I care about falls for my best friend but isn’t it better to know now then in the end. Putting my problems aside is like committing suicide and I cant do that anymore so I’m telling you the score.
CHORUS
From nine to five I busy my balls and the cash I take home is really nothing at all. Room for advancement is tighter then a virgins hole each step up the ladder gives my boss some new lunchtime chatter.
PLUNGE
Words by S.Rygiel
Music by Rygiel/Thomas/Seger
Three, Two, One, Fire-
Hurled into the air caught by a thrashing net
the leap of faith you beware your life will end yet.
CHORUS:
Kickin your @ss off the stage
into the crowd you'll lung.
yellin and screamin in terror and rage
Plunge.
The beginnings not the end your immortal till you die
Jumpers aimed at your head and falling from the sky.
CHORUS
Completely out of control now your gana loose your soul
enjoy it while it lasts the high goes by fast when your in the hole.
CHORUS
Now it's time to sink or swim fear's to defeat
below heaven but above hell your wings are elet.
Burnt Bridges
words by S.Rygiel
Braking away from what has always been there giving up the chance to get anywhere. You lit the match and now all you can do is watch it burn but you keep throwing more wood on the fire it looks like you’ll never learn.
CHORUS:
Cutting off your connection giving up your chance for redemption you don’t think you’ll
need them anymore but sooner or later your ass is going to hit the floor.
The Shit’s hit the fan and come back at you but this time it cant be cleaned you’ve lost all the control you once had isn’t life a bitch when there’s nothing you can do. Spinning out of control what goes up must come down, you just keep digging yourself deeper and deeper into the hole.
CHORUS
Your life sucks and its about to get worse you keep telling the same story but I’ve already heard that verse. You fucked up more then you know the doors over there so just turn around and go.
Leach
Words by S.Rygiel
That which does not kill me only makes me stronger I thought I needed you to survive but this is true no longer. A black dot on my life you ended up being the tarnish I wiped off the stainless steel knife.
CHORUS:
Everyone needs something from someone to survive it was from you I used to thrive. There’s other people and other friends, so It wont be me that’s alone in the end.
I wanted to be like you in every way, I wished more and more for what you have everyday. Now I realize I was totally wrong, your life is a completely different song. You think you’ve done damage but I’ve learned to manage Ill get by with out you now because I’ve learned to love myself that’s how.
CHORUS
You hoped Id crumble like the twin towers because you wanted to feel your influence had power. But what you don’t see is what was there in the start, there was a time I made it without you I’m my own flashlight in the dark.
Dont Piss on my Cornflakes
Words by S.Rygiel
Music by M.Thomas, S.Rygiel, & W.seger
It's better to be pissed off then to be pissed on and half a loaf is better than none. But who really gives shit about it anyway as long as you don't ruin my day.
CHORUS:
Don't piss on my cornflakes
life's just to tough.
Don't piss on my cornflakes
that's just about enough.
Outa you.
This life is the pits but if my cookie crumbles I'll just bake another batch real soon. I don't wana be like everyone else on the street cause I'm my own flake.
CHORUS
I don't understand cause your a few short of a six pack. You got the right string but the wrong yo-yo.
Sight Unseen
Words by S.Rygiel
Putin' my love on the line even though I'm not sure what I'm gana find. I kinda wana meet ya I can't wait to see whats in store for me.
BRIDGE:
Ooo, I just got to have you
Ooo, I can't wait another day.
Ooo, just say you want me too
Ooo, just say you'll be my baby.
CHORUS:
I hear you on the line and your soundin' mighty fine.
I don't know how you look but I'm thinkin' 'bout makin' you mine.

BRIDGE
CHORUS
Everyone's gota take a chance and it's time to get out there and learn how to dance. We may trip or we may fall but if we don't take it all we'll loose this romance.
Night Light
words by S.rygiel
Music by M.Thomas
Searching in the dark I'm lost without your touch the day comes but the sun never shines. It's a dream yet the candle grows so small I need the net of your love to ceach me when I fall.
There's nothing wrong with being alone as long as your in good company I was wrong to think you'd love me. You took the pictures off the wall now I hope the dream don't fall, it won't fall.
CHORUS:
Clouds block the moon from sight but when I'm with you girl it's nothing but a stary night. So turn, turn on your night light. Just turn, turn on your night light. Oh turn, turn on your night light for me.
SOLO
Your the light at the end of my tunnel your the rose among the weeds. That same old bird that sings that same adord song the corner stone that keeps me strong, Now I hope that we can be one, we can be one.
CHORUS
Love's Lost its Chance
Words by S. Rygiel & C. Hinckley
Music by C.Hinckley
Watching you all night I could have sworn it was right but I was to scared that I’d be
wrong I cant count the days since my heart has felt this way, haven’t been in love for so long.
CHORUS:
Love, Love’s lost its chance, Just missed romance. Oh whoa, whoa.
And I, I’ll take the blame, I didn’t even ask your name. Oh whoa, whoa.
What did I have to lose nothing except you, no one can know what I’m going through.
All I am is lonely just dreaming you would hold me, but some whishes don’t come true.
CHORUS
Wasting times how you end up lonely, you only live once so give it a try.
If you think you found your one and only, don’t let go yeah hold on tight. Yeah
CHORUS
No it’s running through my head all the things I could have said but the answer’s gana stay the same. Just give me the chance and I’ll ask you to dance, if you want the prize you got to play the game.
CHORUS
Anything together
Words by S. Rygiel
If life gives us lemons we can make lemonade, when the sun is hot we will be each others shade. Rough times and short changed are no problem with you next to me we can get through them, I know when I trip and fall you’ll be there to pick me up again.
CHORUS:
Side by side we can handle this ride. We will make it to forever because with you I know we can do anything together.
When you’re sad I’ll write you a love song in the cold of winter I’ll build you a fire, when you lose the will to go on I will be your desire. Some times things can be rough but together we can be tough.
CHORUS
There is no power stronger then love, especially one sent from above. If the ship goes down you’ll be the one I save it all begins and ends the same, with an “I Love You Babe!”
Sarahtonin
Words by S.Rygiel
Like fresh popped popcorn, when I’m with her I feel air born. She’s better then any drug, she takes me higher. The rush she gives me is one I love to acquire.
CHORUS:
Like a newborn baby, she makes me feel good within
She makes me happy, she’s my serotonin
An all around good feeling when I’m with her she’s the woman that I prefer. Like Oxygen to a fire she is my one desire. Like a bottle of good wine, she’s perfectly divine.
CHORUS
She gives me a rush like nothing else can, I absolutely love just being her man. She makes me want to sing, that’s why I gave her a wedding ring, When I see her I begin to flow Sarahtonin.
