Riley

Since you've been away, we don't know what to do, but each night pray, you break some maddened stone, say it’s all you can do, no one keeps you home, sleep this time of day, hear you in the bathroom, nothing more to say, why you have to go, always playing the fool, laughing down the 'phone, the walls have turned grey, smoking's not your ruin, you've eaten all your cake, we're the ones alone, what is left for truth, fresh as April snow, you see the creep of moon.

Quincey

The one of you I knew, when time was short, would rage at these Blues, in this consumer light, you live without a phone, it doesn't make you wise, nothing gives a clue, no print or written tome, what you're going to do, they all know your right, who gives its best to go, with the cards so slight, you'll never be a fool, to take on others moans, push against their rules, pictures i have of you, wouldn't let condone, all the stuff we rue, you say baby show'em.

Pippa

C'mon lets up our game, don't leave it to chance, shuffle what remains, listen to some grounded song, time could never lance, make us feel we belong, sat here watching the rain, sheet down a broken path, why not just retain, glorious times and getalongs, stay well balanced, enjoy rooms with dark marks, rouge my lips sad face, stoke my cigarette glances, wine we drink not chase, can't we just bumble along, flying by our pants, hoping we right the wrongs, light the unlit lamps.

Oaklee

Blow flame across my tears, share jokes in the dust, then you disappear, I thought you'd never fail, wrap blankets on our trust, laughter on bar rails, what brought you back here, in the lilac dusk, a man once so clear, ice blue as the trail, a rider till he's bust, absorbed in all your days, no one could get near, a spark that never rusts, many have shed a tear, a hammer for the nail, I did what I could, he haunts me like a grail, nostalgic for the mud.

Naomi

You'll pay a heavy score, my almond eyes ruined, when love turns raw, if you hear my tones, drip like a broken tune, you know what you've done, live life all the more, leave me here to stew, why say I'm a bore, I dedicate a home, only fools pay their dues, avoid me like a hurricane zone, think you know the score, among other things you do, don't scream because, hard acts face this door, warriors lives turn blue, all the stuff you swore now you're doomed.

Maura

Take life by the horns, it's not a place of ease, pray for all you know, i'm not defined by flaws, or other things released, scream just because, our love is on the floor, your almond eyes plead, bells ring out the score, make our lives less flawed, don’t pretend it’s emnity, we're well within the law, if you want more, it's all right with me, just quietly close the door, hope is at our core, rolls gentle as the sea, within its constant roar, this really is our party.

Leonie

When cheers storm the night, you make your mark, an aria beseeches why, the stage is like the sea, a warm embrace by dark, It brings a sweet feeling, dusk falls in green light, your life follows a star, lonely are consoled tonight, when men go looking, hold lovers in their arms, Its only you they see, a Diva's name never declines, the price near or far, glued to many's best sight, your voice defeats cacophany, it soars like a lark, you left a family’s company, gave the world your art.
