Heading Out 03:20
I call you too many times, all you do is brush me off Always have some kind of excuse and it's happening a lot Weeks goes by, you're wondering what is wrong When I tell you it just keeps going on You say you love me even though you turn away Is it another game cause I really don't want to play You're trying to hold on to me but you're never around Do you really love me, if not then I'm heading out You turn it around, saying I'm the one to blame You just mad because I'm done playing your game The only thing I've done was working to keep it alive When times got tough all you did was run and hide My heart has been scarred with your games and all your lies If you don't change your ways then I guess this is good-bye You're trying to hold on to me but you're never around Do you really love me, if not then I'm heading out My heart has been scarred with your games and all your lies I know it's a front with all those tears that you cry You're trying to hold on to me but you're never around Do you really love me, if not then I'm heading out

Drama Queen 03:13
She tries to look so innocent, but you know it's an act Trying to get her way, trying to get inside your head She'll be anything you want, just give her what she needs But once she has it, she'll just turn around and leave Trying to make you feel better with her lies But in reality she wants to run and hide Playing the role of a drama queen And the audience is you She's always playing the role of the victim and you're just playing the fool She tries to give you, those sad and desperate eyes Always saying, there's no love in her life She's got you hooked, for her you would do anything To her this is just, the same old routine As days go by, you will never hear her voice All she gives you is the feeling of being annoyed Playing the role of a drama queen And the audience is you She's always playing the role of the victim and you're just playing the fool

Nobody knows how much I love you Or how deep inside these feelings go Nobody feels the way that I do Is there someone else that loves you so Am I in your mind every time you close your eyes Is there a place in your heart where our love is alive I'm no expert in love, but I see what's going on Now I'm starting to realize and it didn't take very long Getting mixed signals but it's becoming oh so clear Starting to feel that you really want me here First I thought it was going to be over I was ready to give up and walk away But you started to come around Wasn't sure if I wanted to stay Now it seems like you want me to be more in your life I've been burned in the past and I really can't decide I'm no expert in love, but I see what's going on Now I'm starting to realize and it didn't take very long Getting mixed signals but it's becoming oh so clear Starting to feel that you really want me here

Warm nights out on the streets, the time has come for you and me To do anything we want tonight Throw out the rules, cause we're staying out all night Ready for the party of our lives Nobody's gonna tell us how to live We've had enough of that now Had a lifetime of stress and depression Time to turn it around Cause we're tired of the hate, tired of the sadness We just want live again We just need to have a Worldwide Party One that will never end No room for politics here, just drinking of some wine and some beer Leave your everyday problems at the door We need to dance, maybe find a little romance We're not living the hard life anymore If you want to start some drama Then we're just throwing you out We celebrate the end of hard times And they won't come around Cause we're tired of the hate, tired of the sadness We just want live again We just need to have a Worldwide Party One that will never end
5.
So much emotion to keep inside for another day I need to say just what I feel Everything we have together is hanging by a thread And I'm not ready to let it be All we have together keeps on slipping away little by little we lose another day The only way I'll surrender. is if you put a bullet in me Go ahead and give up, but I'm fighting for sanity Worked so hard at it for way to long To give up at the slightest hint of going wrong You say it's hard and you might be afraid it's conquering the challenge that makes you strong All we have together keeps on slipping away little by little we lose another day The only way I'll surrender. is if you put a bullet in me Go ahead and give up, but I'm fighting for sanity We can fight this, you're staying silent hard to do this alone But i'll go on if i have to I'll just be on my own

Outlaw 02:59
Everyday I feel that I can't even live my life Without the stress of someone judging me No matter what I do someone has to tell me I'm wrong Can't they all just let me be Nobody can tell me what I cannot do Last time I checked I wasn't anybody's fool I'll live they way that I want to live And I'm never going to fall If it's a crime Then consider me an outlaw Nowadays you have to watch everything you say You even get criticized for breathing If you don't like my style why don't you just go away Why should I be the one who's leaving Nobody's perfect and we all have certain flaws You're just proving to me that you are totally lost I'll live they way that I want to live And I'm never going to fall If it's a crime Then consider me, consider me an outlaw
7.
When I see you smiling, I feel your happiness too When I hear your laughter, I'm still right there with you I feel the pain, when there's sadness in your eyes Whatever you feel, it's impossible to hide We've known each other since forever That our emotions and thoughts will always be tied together When words are hardly spoken And we know what's on each other's minds There's a certain vibe between us It's what happens when love is right We share a lot more things, there's more than a physical side It's like we're connected to a spirit heart and mind How would we last, if we ever fell apart Wouldn't want to think about it, wouldn't want to even start It would be a lonely world without you As long as I have you why would I want to start anew When words are hardly spoken And we know what's on each other's minds There's a certain vibe between us It's what happens when love is right
8.
Sometimes you have to look into more than just a mirror In your reflection you can see what's in your eyes Only then it becomes clearer Only then the person you want to be comes alive Finding a way to make it happen Making your dreams come true and doing it with a passion Going through sunshine going through rain Feeling the pleasure and the pain In the end we still survive It's what we do to keep dreams alive No one said that life would be a smooth and easy highway Sometimes it gets rough on that road No matter what lies ahead you still keep on going It's the only way that you grow You live and learn about what you gotta do To make this life of yours into something that is meant for you Going through sunshine going through rain Feeling the pleasure and the pain In the end we still survive It's what we do to keep dreams alive

about

Joe Craig Moosic, Pennsylvania

I've been around the music scene in Northeastern PA for about 30 years playing bass and doing backup vocals for such groups as Arion, Silent Whisper, Phantasm, Time To Think and 8 balls minus 2 and Whiskey Inc.. It was about 14 years ago that I started doing my own stuff. I released 3 CD's under the name Jjc and after the 3rd one, I decided to use my real name from now on. ... more
