HISTORIC BLOOD words: Kerry Murray music: Bert Erdmann, Kerry Murray Emotional placebo saw promises moonlit He’s left her sentenced loves expatriate This time she has a reason for feeling great unrest This creature forces her to fill her breast And so in sotto voce she plans for her son to be Her true embodiment of hopes and dreams This time she will not falter, no chance of retrograde This child’s become a nascent barricade Inside the dark surrounds me Eternal warmth vibrates The molecules around me as moisture permeates Outside the light is calling A purpose for my eyes The air it wants to fill me, inflating nature’s prize You called me here against advice The product of double helix crossed You called me here to justify I am the fruit of loves labors lost You called me here to be the living proof The incarnation of hedonistic cost But I can’t be just how you planned me Even though you nurture me to fill your empty space You protect me and correct me but nature’s influence you can’t erase What will you do when I fall short Will you be able to forgive me this What will you do as I mature Your baby’s eyes will slowly become his What will you do when others what my time Will happiness be true when she steals my kiss But I can’t be just how you planned me Even though you nurture me to fill your empty space You protect me and correct me but nature’s influence you can’t erase I am symbolic of the freedom you sacrificed No form of restitution ever could suffice I will remain in touch with this sense of guilt and love Forever bound to you by this historic blood Kerry

standing in the fog about a mile or so outside of town without a penny to my name I hitched a ride with Daphne who broke my heart in half she said she’d take me home but then she’d have to be back on her way I hit the switch and laid around, I considered going underground but someone told me once that you can’t win if you don’t play I woke up next to Betty grable who showed up on my cable just to let me know that someone was approaching my front door I looked out through the peephole and I saw a dozen people who danced in their pajamas while their children sat and cried I hit the switch, dropped to the floor, I crawled away from my front door But someome told me once that cheaters never win the game I woke up in the morning and I went down to the store and then I bought a dozen bananas to teach my chimp to type I handed over my cart to a boy I knew as Bart who said he saw me just the other night out walking’ in the fog I hit the switch, the lights came on, I did not know her folks weren’t gone But someone told me once to get my ducks all in a row I got my ducks in a row, I got my ducks in a row I got my duck’s in a row Kerry Murray ... accoustic guitar, vocals Bert

know her well enough to get a backstage pass So I hid behind the curtain as the closing number played As the critics and fanatics left I held my breath and stayed I saw her façade I don’t know who does her make-up but they don’t get paid enough To cover up that weathered skin surely must be rough She plays the part of innocence, a victim of betrayals But I saw the power in her eyes and the blood beneath her nails Now you might think I ran away screaming through the night And under normal circumstances I’d say that you’d be right But one fact remains that you just do not know Last week she hid in my backstage as I came down from my show I saw her façade She saw me shed my chivalry and cast my faith aside She clenched her fists and shed a tear as she found out how I’d lied And as she saw my jaded skin I kept tucked underneath She hear the snap of heartstrings caught in my teeth Kerry Murray ... vocals Bert Erdmann ... guitar, Cubase SX programming © 2004 / 2006 / 2013 KayaMBeE FEEL words: Kerry Murray music: Bert Erdmann & Kerry Murray concept: Bert Erdmann I feel like I’ve seen it all before There are no surprises left for me anymore I feel like there’s nothing left to do But watch the tube ‘til my brains turn to goo And if there’s an alternative I haven’t got a clue I feel like throwing in the towel Trade in my youthful smile for a grumpy mans scowel I feel like staying here in bed To conversate with the voices in my head And give in to the habits that I know I’ll never shed I could feel you, you could feel me too No one should feel like we do I want to feel new You feel like you’ve seen it all before This happens every time and it’s becoming such a bore You feel like there’s nothing left to do For years you’ve tolerated my bad moods And there might be something better than avoiding my bedroom You feel like throwing in the towel It’s sad what I’ve become and how I’ve drug you down You feel like staying here in bed But you’ve made a liberation plan instead You’ve got to leave in spite of all the voices in your head.

Lie to me, tomorrow’s years away for me Lie to me, it’s the only thing tonight I can believe I can see it, our future seemed so bright We hat it sewn up tight I can see it, with no more time to spare Our hearts became threadbare I can see it, We lost our warranty And life time guarantee. I can see it, and due to sloth and greed Our strength has atrophied Kerry Murray ... vocals "Carlos Dave VanClapton" aka Bert Erdmann ... guitar, Cubase SX programming © 2004 / 2006 / 2013 KayaMBeE CARPE DIEM words: Kerry Murray music & concept: Bert Erdmann I had love for you, we were a pair When you’d walk in I’d have to stop and stare But things changed and we fell apart When something ends another must start We said ‘til death do us apart And you made a gravestone of my heart So let’s call a spade a spade And put an end to this mess we made We broke down, that’s okay, I’m exhausted by the games we play This union is not exempt Familiarity has bred contempt (Seize the day now) no shame in giving in (Seize the day now) to quit is not a sin (Seize the day now) I claim carpe diem We said ‘til death do us part And you made a gravestone of my heart So let’s call a spade a spade And put an end to this mess we made We had our good times, that is true But now I do things just to avoid you I take this entropy, gather it up and make it work for me Kerry Murray ... acoustic guitar, vocals Bert Erdmann ... guitar, backing vocals, Cubase SX programming © 2004 / 2006 / 2013 KayaMBeE WHERE WERE YOU words & music: Bert Erdmann Where were you, when they burned the houses down Where were you, when they hunted him down the street Where were you, when they shouted there's no space for aliens Where were you, where were you that night? Where were you, when a friend needed a helping hand Where were you, when he started to build the wall Where were you, when he talked about suicide Where were you, where were you that night? Where were you, when the dog was fed while man starved next door Where were you, when the tramp froze to death Where were you, in that dark and freezing cold night Where were you? (And) where are you tonight?

HERE AND THERE (in the middle somewhere) words: Kerry Murray music: Kerry Murray & Bert Erdmann Miles and miles of empty space That’s what I cover just to see your face Taillights flash through pouring rain Missed opportunities get washed away Facts don’t bend, facts don’t break How many more facts can we take Sometimes it’s hard to keep believing When one of us is always leaving I want you here, you want me there Our love gets lost in the middle somewhere We spend more time on the telephone line Than I do in your arms and I think that’s a crime I want you here, you want me there Our love gets lost in the middle somewhere Hours and hours of thinking time Until the early morning alarm chimes Counting beans ‘til Friday appears Don’t focus on the longing Sunday rears The past lives, the past thrives We can’t get past the tact of separate lives Which one of us gives in to the other Which one forgets about their druthers I want you here, you want me there Our love gets lost in the middle somewhere You’re got your home, I’ve got mine, too We both have our roots but baby what can we do I want you here, you want me there Our love gets lost in the middle somewhere Kerry Murray ... acoustic guitar, vocals Bert Erdmann ... lead guitar, back vocals, Cubase SX programming © 2004 / 2006 / 2013 KayaMBeE SHE BROKE ME words: Kerry Murray music: Bert Erdmann, Kerry Murray Mother said when I was young she’d keep me free from sin But every time she’d look away I’d bite the apple again I’d try to hide my dirty knees to steer clear of her wrath She always saw right through the leaves and drug me to the bath It’s funny how it really didn’t take all that long And I believed that she must be completely wired wrong And looking back it isn’t hard for anyone to see… She broke me, of all my mortal sins She broke me, and made me clean again She broke me, of nonconformity She broke me, but I just could not agree I took a wife, the kind of girl that momma warned about She took me far away from home and made me twist and shout I thought the scales from my eyes so I could finally see But all I really saw as just how blind a boy can be It’s funny how it really didn’t take all that long And I believed that my friends were completely wired wrong And looking back it isn’t hard for anyone to see She broke me, of all my hopes and dreams She broke me, of happiness it seems She broke me, of any self-respect She broke me, well what did I expect All alone without a cause I thought my life was through Pieces scattered everywhere and that’s when I met you You kept me from the epilogue at the bottom of the hill With dozens of blank pages for the two of us to fill It’s funny how it really didn’t take all that long And I believed that I must be completely wired wrong But looking back it isn’t hard for anyone to see… She broke me, of my feelings of self-doubt She broke me, and showed me what life’s about She broke me, of thinking of the end She broke me, and put me back together again Kerry Murray ... vocals, guitar Bert Erdmann ... guitar, backing vocals, Cubase SX programming © 2004/2006 /2013 KayaMBeE TAKE MY ADVICE words: Kerry Murray music & arrangement: Bert Erdmann Spent a lot of time tryin’ to do it just right You’ve been sleeping through the days just to lay awake at night You live for all the others trying to be what they all need And the social expectations have destroyed your creed You can’t make em all happy and keep up your mental health You might provide the wool for their eyes but you’ll never fool yourself The diagnosis is quite simple, it will never do you wrong You’ve got to put it all behind you cuz it’s time to move on Empower yourself, you have the power to progress Empower yourself, decide to move on and not regress Spent a lot of time tryin’ to do it just right You’ve been sleeping through the days just to lay awake at night You live for all the others trying to be what they all need And the social expectations have destroyed your creed You can’t make em all happy and keep up your mental health You might provide the wool for their eyes but you’ll never fool yourself The diagnosis is quite simple, it will never do you wrong You’ve got to put it all behind you cuz it’s time to move on Empower yourself, you have the power to progress Empower yourself, decide to move on and not regress Seize the day now and put the past away Seize the day now and live life your own way Years and years you piss away Because you want to have things your own way If you want a love profound Then work together, find a common ground Empower yourself, you have the power to progress Empower yourself, decide to move on and not regress Where were you, did you think to look inside yourself Where were you, behind the finger that you point at someone else? Well sir, we all put on a mask but not to seem what we are not We want to hide away our shame for what we feel we haven’t we got So if you can find the worth in what you have got to say Than you can take pride in your face and finally throw that mask away Empower yourself, you have the power to progress Empower yourself, decide to move on and not regress Let her feel you You should feel her too They’ll want to feel like you two Each day will feel new It could all end tomorrow despite your brave reprise What kind of life will you see pass before your eyes Empower yourself, you have the power to progress Empower yourself, decide to move on and not regress Kerry Murray ... vocals Bert Erdmann ... guitars, Cubase SX programming © 2004/2006 /2013 KayaMBeE
