Wolves & children
By: Omar Feliciano
Verse 1: (to the children)
Wolves, wolves at the door
Their hungry for more
The taste of your flesh
Is still fresh on their breath
They severed the rest
Tore them to pieces
And savored their blood
Chorus: (the children)
Where is the one we were promised?
Our hero the one our guardian
Save us from them, save us from them.
Verse 2: (“the hero” was bitten)
I’m weak, weak like the rest afraid I confess
That I’ll be the one to lead them to death
I bite down my tongue I swallow my words
I gather my thoughts as I head to the door
Beg for redemption
Cry for salvation
Pray for a hero
Cause I’m all that’s left…

Free Myself
By: Omar Feliciano
Verse 1:
This empty institute is nothing more than a trap
My fevers rising yeah my eyes they seem to fade into black
They quickly strap me down. The doctor turns and say’s he’s figured it out
Pre-chorus:
He said my heart is drenched with all the wrong intentions in life
He said I’m ruined, yeah I’m sick, No I should never be touched
Their hands they tremble at the thought of being left with me. I’m going to burn it down
Chorus:
Come on, come on, come on, come on lets go
I’m going to be the one to come and tear you down
Nothing I ever do is ever good enough
Trying my best for what, I’m just letting you down.
Verse 2:
This holy institute is nothing more than a gag
My body’s aching yeah my bones they seem to break and contort
They quickly pray for me, the priest he turns and says just figure it out
Pre-chorus:
He said my soul is plagued with all the vile intentions in life
He said I’m cursed, because I’ve sinned, no I can never be helped
Their faith it crumbles at the thought of being left with me. I’m going to burn it down
Bridge:
I’ll free myself from all of this
And I will find the strength to conquer it

The Damaged
By: Omar Feliciano
Verse 1:
Here it is this is it now
Just like I promised
Cook it up we can share it
Just like we practiced
Pre-chorus:
Pick a vein, break my skin, let it in, I feel disgusting
Try to breath, bit your lip get a grip
I’m so far up I’m so far up.
Chorus:
We are the broken
A waste of a good thing
Angels without wings fall apart
We are the lost ones
Searching for something we will never find
Verse 2:
Shake it off, walk it off now
Just a boy with a tantrum
Biting nails, pulling hairs out
Just a guy with a problem

Yeah, I’m Over It
By: Omar Feliciano
Verse 1:
Let’s set the fucking record straight
Suspicions kill & anger me
A thoughtless act a thousand times
What the hell is wrong with me?
Pre-chorus:
Tell the truth, I know you hate the sound of it
There’s no use, I feel alone when I’m with you.
Chorus:
There was a time
I was willing to die for you
But I’m over it I’m over it.
Verse 2:
Like a speck of dust before the wind
I’m a pitiful affectionate
You a problem child a tragedy
A mother fucking rivalry
Pre-chorus:
Tell the truth, I know you hate the sound of it
There’s no use, I feel alone when I’m with you.
Bridge:
Well if this is the end, then lets let it end.
All you ever was bury me, never did you try to comfort me
All you ever did was lie to me, but I’m over it, I’m over it.

How In The Hell?
By: Omar Feliciano
Verse 1:
To destroy your dreams & scar your mind is all I ever really want
We sacrificed an unborn one for the sake of living happily
It’s irrelevant for you to ask whether on my mind is where you’ve been
Nothing that I’ve done since then has ever washed my hands of this
Verse 2:
Past the smoke & flames of trust to the hell we built inside of us
I drink because I want to kill the liver deep inside of me
Let it rot & let it die like the love you claim to have for me
Nothing that I’ve done since then has ever washed my hands of this
Pre-chorus:
Crack my ribs & crush my heart
I loved the way your legs would part
Stab my face & tie my arms
We quickly turn & come undone
Chorus:
How in the hell, will we make our way out?
How in the hell, do we get ourselves back?
Where do we turn when we’re lost in the dark?
How in the hell, did we fall apart?
Bridge:
Crack my ribs & crush my heart
I loved the way your legs would part
Nothing that I’ve done since then has ever washed my hands of this…

The Consequence
By: Omar Feliciano
Verse 1:
If I have your heart
Then he has your body
Your tongue it tells lies
This is the consequence of falling in love
You move with such ease
Just like a serpent in the mud
You’re just a disease
This is the consequence of trusting someone
Chorus:
Hey, hey,
I’ve gone & got you a sharper blade
So you could just cut & carve my heart out
& Leave me on display for the world to see
Verse 2:
I’ll kiss you in between your eyes
He’ll kiss you in between your thighs
I’ve damned you to hell
This is the consequence of being stabbed in the back
It kills me to know where you sleep at night,
You’re just a masochist
This is the consequence of hating yourself
Bridge:
Look what you’ve done to me now, look what you’ve done to me now…

I wouldn’t trade you
By: Omar Feliciano
Verse 1:
We can lay here naked in this bed
& when you decide to wake up so will I
We can break the hands on every clock
& maybe time will stop for you and I
Pre-chorus:
Cause I feel the sudden urge to scream
Like I’m tearing at the seems, I want to hear you sing
Chorus:
Remember the good times not the bad
Enjoy the simple things we have
I wouldn’t trade you
Forget all the fights alone with advice
You are the prize in my life
I wouldn’t trade you
Verse 2:
I long for the feeling of your skin
So soft so warm and well preserved
I can’t believe your all that I’ve been thinking of
Suddenly this place is just, just not big enough
Bridge:
You make me want to scream
Call everyone I know
& let them know
That I have found the one

Seasons
By: Omar Feliciano
Verse 1:
I’m haunted by your face every second of my day.
My heart feels like it’s soon, soon to decay.
I know you curse & damn the day
You ever laid your eyes or ever spoke a word to me
Pre-chorus:
Respect & honesty are the treasures you deserve & every bone inside of me will give you what is yours.
Chorus:
The summer will come & burn us to shreds
The fall will return & bring you back to me again
& When the winter hits we will freeze in place
When spring returns we will blossom again
Verse 2:
Its time that I man up, admit that I was wrong
I burned our bridge down; I’m the reason we can’t talk.
Pre-chorus:
Respect & honesty are the treasures you deserve & every bone inside of me will give you what is yours.
Bridge:
I’m sorry for the fool I am for the stupid things I always say but if the seasons change then people can, just hear me out, just hear me out.

“See what happens Larry!”
Sound-clip from scene in movie “The Big Lebowski” (1998)
Lyrics written By: Omar Feliciano
Verse 1:
It’s been a while since I finally caught a break
No one around to come and shove shit in my face
Rest assured I’m going to ride this vibe tonight
I’m going to dance until I burn holes in my shoes
Pre-chorus:
& I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t looking for something else
You know this city has an open door for everyone…
Chorus:
Crank it up let the DJ do his thing
Pick it up drop it down, baby move around
Start a tab let the bartender pour it out
Drink it up, drink it up, just throw it down
No strings, no rings just you & I we’re free do our thing tonight
Verse 2:
I swear I work every single day
9 to 9 slaving for the man
I keep complaining but nothings going to change
I’m alive & sensing who I’ am
Bridge:
From the floor in the club, to the door of your house
In your bed in the dark, from your mouth to mine
From your neck to your chest, every moment undressed
You’ve got me, wrapped up in your thighs

“Deer” Friend
By: Omar Feliciano
Verse 1:
Have you got nothing left to say?
Run along & play dear friend
Lets take a look at what’s at stake
Forget all you’re mistakes dear friend
Pre-chorus:
This world is darker than it seems
But stay relentless with your dreams
Those dreams will show you where to go
You’ll show them all
Chorus:
So if you want to, go ahead & take it to the streets
Don’t let it go, don’t let it go
& When you find it we’re going to bring them on their feet
Don’t let it go, don’t let it go, don’t let it go…
Verse 2:
Do you remember all those drives?
The weekends & the plans dear friend
Your right this music scenes a joke
It’s all in who you know, dear friend
Bridge:
We are own worst critics we write all day but come the end we hide our sound away
We set our own limits; we block our path with fear & doubt & hide our sound away
This is where we draw the line my friend…

You’re confidant (Bella)
By: Omar Feliciano
Verse1:
I could be the calcium stuck inside your teeth
A pair of sandals on your feet
A radiant thought inside your mind
The favorite place you like to hide
The color of your dark brown eyes
The moment when you told a lie
A pillow where your head can rest
The dresser in your bedroom set
Chorus:
So what I choose to be
Is your lover & your friend
What I choose to be
Is your trusted confidant
& all I need from you
is a promise that you will be true
all I need is you
Verse 2:
The mirror hanging on the wall
The nosy neighbor down the hall
Release from all that nasty stress
The sounds we make when we have …
The pounding deep inside your heart
Pumping blood & cells to parts
The joint between your hand & arm
The warmth you need to sleep at night
