southpaw   (lyrics by scott haskitt. music by haskitt, dale)

i'm gonna peel these old pieces back now, stand by
you're gonna deal with the pulse i lack now, good-bye
i never found the light you swore to be blinded by
and now you're pigeon-holed by the fool who once stood at your side

with trust as naked as home,
you exposed my left hand side
it's quiet in here all alone,
the silence was your design

turn to what you turn to,
don't let it keep you down now
burn for what you burn to do
the fire won't blind me if i stay on my side

faith to what you believe,
don't let it change your mind
cause with trust as naked as home,
you exposed the weakness of my disguise

don't let it change your mind

cause half of these words would be
so much more in a speechless world
and half of your words are just reaction
to the second glances and jealous greed
it's all fire and no feed

on this bed of words i sleep
just to pass the time
there's a room in my book of dreams
i keep you chained down so i can rest my mind

if it's the truth you aim to believe,
these lies still keep your peace
i can't dream you out anymore
my mind won't rest, my heart won't sleep

don't let it change your mind.
