THERE'S NO HAPPY NOTE (ON A MELOTRON)
(Words and Music by Bradley Blyth. Copyright 2021)
New smile
Same shoes
You got your new guitar
And a Bouquet of Blues
Same struggles
Gloves on
But There's No Happy Note...On a Melotron
You run scared
Swimming in Lake Me
Land mines and solar panels
In The Land of Free
Stiff upper lip
You got your game face on
But There's No Happy Note...On a Melotron
There's no Happy Note
Can't find one Happy Note
There's no Happy Note
Can't find one Happy Note....

BY ANY MEANS
(Words and Music by Bradley Blyth. Copyright 2021)
The footlights they will dazzle
They're pleasing to the eye
One Hundred Billion Watts of Power
Can draw you to The Lie
And fames the game that fans the flame
That conflagrates your dream
An unbridled quest for power
To succeed By Any Means
By Any Means
By Any Means
By Any Means..you'll triumph
By Any Means you'll fight
By Any Means you'll compromise
What you believe to be right
But if things could be different
You say you wouldn't wish it was
Because if The End doesn't justify the means
Then tell me what does
By Any Means
By Any Means

WHEN YOU RETURN
(Words and Music by Bradley Blyth. Copyright 2021)
A Father's heart is broken
By lessons you won't learn
Still He waits for your return
He's restored every broken dream
Every bridge that you've burned
For your use when you return
There's so many words unspoken
Those that were left a burn
All disappear when you return
And even Your Magnificence
With nothing left to learn
Will know The Truth When You Return
You've defamed Your Innocence
Time and Time again
No matter how hard you try
You just can't remember when
The divide became a chasm
All the tables turned
Your pride became a noose around your neck
Step down from the gallows
It's time for Your Return
When You Return
When You Return

I'M NOT GONE (JUST DEAD)
(Words and Music by Bradley Blyth, Copyright 2021)
In a dream I came upon
A Lilly rose to greet each dawn
Rise and shine, the kettle's on
The world was ours to play upon
Living...breathing
Believing led to Seeing
The Wonder, no other
No more blessed word than Mother
Divinely in the moment
No thought that time would end
Now once upon and though it's gone
I visit now and then
Some tomorrow you will follow
Someday...One day
That Day Diving your hand in mine
But for now remember what I said
Can it be she's been gone 9 years
But in my dreams she comes to me
Smiles then disappears
I'm waking, aching to ask her all I've missed
While dining, reclining
Consumed in my own bliss
A stroll across the Great Divide
I'm just on the other side
Waiting, praying
That you'll come to me when your soul's free
But for now, I've gone up ahead
Some tomorrow I will follow
Someday, one day
That Day Divine, your hand in mine
But for now I remember what you said
I'm not gone....
You know where You go I will follow
Someday, one day
I'm just behind but in God's time
I will see that you're just up ahead
Some tomorrow I will follow
Someday, one day
That Day Divine, your hand in mine
But for now I remember what you said
"I'm not gone...just dead"

GARDENIA
(Words and Music by Bradley Blyth. Copyright 2021)
Gardenia
Pretty flowers in a row
Gardenia
Why you smile I just don't know
All the while Little Child
Come sit down for awhile
Their gonna reap just what they sew
Gardenia
Pretty flower fast asleep
Gardenia
Poor little thing dove too deep
No more smile Little Child
But your going down in style
What they sew will make you weep
But You're not one of Them
You never could be
Your beauty's from within
Take it from me
You don't have to stay for the day
I will love You anyway
But You're not one of Them
You never could be
Your beauty's from within
Any fool could plainly see
You don't have to stay for the day
I will love You anyway
Gardenia

YOUR HOLLOW EYES
(Words and Music by Bradley Blyth. Copyright 2021)
For as long as you remember
An emptiness inside
A yearning for a savior
To fill Your Hollow Eyes
You try to be The Good Girl
Always first to apologize
But the righteous things that you would bring
Never seem to satisfy
A school boy's dream at 17
You would not be denied
Your game was on..The Queen of the Prom
Mr. All State by your side
You played the part as a work of art
Never questioning the why
For how could it be Miss Likely To Succeed
Could feel anything but high
But your leading role soon took its toll
The smile became a lie
The truth was in Your Hollow Eyes
Ten years gone...The Wedding's on
A savior by your side
The Church, The Dress...Complete Success
The groom he beams with pride
Then per the norm
And true to form foundations for the blind
But for all your might and for giving sight
There's a sadness undefined
And though you've crawled your way up Maslow's stairs
And you've self actualized
There's still the need to fill Your Hollow Eyes
You decided you'll start living large
In fact you'll Super Size
Enough to fill Your Hollow Eyes
Philosophers and poets
Romantics and the wise
Every passing phase that you could improvise
Each passion thrill and lust fulfilled
The obsessions that you've tried
Demanding more and more
To leave you more or less dissatisfied
And now the surgeons transformed your lovely face
To something you don't recognize
A vain attempt to fool Your Hollow Eyes
You thought the Hedon could find Eden
There's nothing you won't try
If just to fill Your Hollow Eyes
Enough to fill Your Hollow Eyes
If just to fill Your Hollow Eyes
