Eve Clarke Wow!! I'm not sure what to really say after only hearing it once. So much to take in. I love it... I can say that much. It's exciting, it punches you in the face, super energetic. The riffs are bluesy, sexy, driving. Love the tight rhythms. Love the lyrics. The organs/keys and chord progressions are jazzy at times and "different" for Glenn. But mostly, I just hear Glenn. I hear him in every piece of the music. The vocals are so "leave it all out there" as if his insides came out while singing. Literally singing his heart out.

Lord I feel a hard rain comin’ on Lord I feel a hard rain coming down.. Yeah aint got a prayer to carry on Yeah aint got a prayer to hear that sound There aint no forgiveness now.. Guess I never meant to get it wrong Gonna tell a little story ‘bout the days long gone Ohh I know bad hand holding on Ohh I know dark stain on my soul Lord I feel my last chance comin’ on Lord I feel my last chance come and gone There aint no forgiveness now.. Guess I never meant to get it wrong Gonna tell a little story ‘bout the days long gone

Swing the hammer wide let me pass your test No promise, compromise no more and nothing less Brighter days seem to haunt me when they come So many good things fly apart.. ~ But they were whole in...whole in my hands But they were whole in...whole in my hands ~ You’ll find no comfort here no open minds or hearts They seek to snuff your dreams before you even start With the smile of a friend and knife of a ghost Cut me the deepest cut me the most ~ But it was whole in…whole in my hands But it was whole in…whole in my hands Don’t look now… Don’t look now…

Hello Oblivion I’ve waited here my old insistent friend Hello Oblivion I’ve waited here for you to choose the end ...and there’s no way back Hello Oblivion I’ve lived a life of hardships cold and cruel Hello Oblivion I’ve lived a life of blessings rich and full ...there’s no way back ...and so I know ...there’s no way back

Kira 03:51
How was I supposed to know? That dark days knockin’ on a better time gone woulda dragged you down again I guess that’s just the way it goes Hard times comin seem to bring you round here with a bottle in your hand I understand…. Kira.. Someday some one’s gonna find you baby gonna take you away from here Kira.. I know trouble’s gonna find you baby gotta stand you up again… Once again The hours only go to show That broke minds tend to find a little more comfort in a dragon chasing high But once you’re lying on the floor Strong hand never gonna help you up babe less you help yourself before … and More and more You’ve been waiting alone, where the light never shown Never gave you a chance to step outside your own grave No one rushed in to save, you from hell and now all ..all you’ve ever known is the blackness in your soul.. I feel it growing baby

We went a kicking round the south side of heaven with some stardust and ash in our eyes Took on a thunderhead a smooth rollin’ over on a wrong side of trouble again She got a blister and thorn for you mister I can tell by the look in her eyes Go on and tumble with class dirty beauty got a switchblade clicking surprise And that’s how it goes Right on She got the rattlesnake shake in her smile Right on She got the rattlesnake shake in her smile I never been along the slow side of nothing’ come and feed my need for a try here come my dealer he got two barrels loaded gonna snuff my need to ask why And that’s how I know…

She came in with a whisper and left like teardrops in the rain she came in just like a whisper and left like teardrops in the rain never thought I’d miss her till I knew I’d never see her face again hours in the sunshine left forever cold and grey all those hours in the sunshine left forever cold and gray there aint no comfort for me baby when I feel this way maybe in the end I might find away to live my life the way I had before until that day I know I’ll carry on until I can carry you no more No need worry Aint no need to question why I got no need to ever worry I got no need to question why It’s a bitter long and loney Long and lonely hard goodbye
7.
Don’t be afraid baby…some nights I am a criminal Don’t be afraid baby…I’m both a saint and a criminal Summertime comes, to stretch your shadow ‘cross the floor Used to feel so high…but it aint like that anymore Don’t be afraid baby…I’m both a saint and a criminal Just find a reason in your heart to strip away the past and start To shine a light on darker days and lay a breadcrumb in this maze To make your way back in the dark and reinvent the things you are
8.
Why look for something so sour When something so sour was with you all the way? ~ Little one with your face to the sun And the day at your back why would you bring the dark ‘round here? Stick a tongue in the cheek of the broken and weak Let reality fade by the wayside Little girl with the world at your feet And your head in your hands and disaster in your mind Take spin of the wheel And forget what you feel is the anchor that’s draggin you behind.. This is now life short smell the roses and take a little moment ..just a little moment.. Bad luck won’t follow you far Just don’t forget who you are Just lay your troubles down and walk away…
9.
Ooooh sister I got a trick you should know Ohhh little sister Aint gonna take you too long to feel sure Hey here comes a little of the blood sippin twist to you smile Ohhh now I got a feeling gonna be ‘round here for a while …and make it alright..and make it all.. So maybe you…you don’t like me anyway But I got the time to make it alright…Make it alright… Ohhhh sister ~ Don’t take it personally Hey little sister ~ Don’t even gotta take advice from me Hey I’ve seen the shadow of the trouble swingin round your front door Another day another way another time if you could just get one over

Life’s hard like a son of a bitch But I know where to go when I get that itch ...love dont know cant find me ...love dont know cant find me Dont let me down (yep... those are the words.... all of them... just didn't think it needed any more than that...hahaha ~ Glenn)
11.
She had me easy…She let me know it She had me easy baby…She’s comin round now Aint scared to show it…She had me easy baby She let her hair down…I let my guard down She took me slow and steady I let my guard down…She took her dress down And left me speechless ...I found the devil in the sunshine ...’cause I was born in the rain So take what you need ‘Cuz nothing’s for free... Take it on down now... and shake it out.. (...I’ll be over around two...) ..I found the devil in the sunshine ...’cuz I was born in the rain

The Void 05:38
If it’s all the same Don't waste your prayers on me or speak my name When I broke down, you turned your back on me and let me drown Had you gotten what you needed? Had taken what you thought might fill your heart? Had you found a better ending And left me here still looking for the start? It was hard to watch another soul come rushing in and fill the void I left when I was gone... and the bitterness of a life gone wrong came rushing in, to fill the void you left...when you moved on... ...there’s still time there’s still time there’s still time...To live again... Dark Spell comes on To rearrange the way I see the world I’m too far gone To find the answers that might set me free... Like the broken wandering children Of some god forsaken long forgotten land I’m the shadow of my illness And no one knows exactly who I am...including me... ...for your kind words I leave to you a sympathetic ear ... for all your love Was wasted on a soul who could not hear ....it was hard to watch somebody else come rushing in...
