Lyrics

WAITING ON ANGELS


© 2020 Douglas C. Mann / Zoyka Music / BMI

Angels can’t fly with broken wings
But my, oh my, hear them sing
Through lies and alibis
A sweet, sweet chorus of lullabies

Waiting on angels
To carry me home
Waiting on angels
Lay me at Heaven’s throne

Carry away this weary soul
To a place once foretold
Where Death’s sting has no hold
A home sweet home I will know

Waiting on angels
To carry me home
Waiting on angels
Lay me at Heaven’s throne

See Love’s last stand
Always strangers in a strange land

Waiting on angels
To carry me home
Waiting on angels
Lay me at heaven’s throne
Yeh, lay me at Heaven’s throne

MISERY LOVES COMPANY


© 2020 Douglas C. Mann / Zoyka Music / BMI

Misery is a free, free spirit
She rides the wind
There’s no place she goes
That she’s never been

Company longs for a love
Never seen or known
Prays to God above
His heart finds a home

Misery loves Company
Or so she says
Company loves Misery
Like his life depends
On every word, she’s ever said

Company asks Misery to stay
But she knows
For him to live his life
He has to let her go

Misery left memories
To have and hold
Company thinks of her
When the cold wind blows

Misery loves Company
Or so she says
Company loves Misery
Like his life depends
On every word, she’s ever said

Misery is a free, free spirit
She rides the wind

BURNING BRIDGES


© 2019 Douglas C. Mann / Zoyka Music / BMI

Just like the seasons that turn
Some bridges are meant to burn
See the flames lick the sky
Singe the heavens that sit on high

Burning bridges in the night
Breathe in child, live your life
Burning bridges, burning bright
Rise up now, claim your right

Bring your baggage from the past
It was never meant to last
Stack them deep, stack them high
Some things need to die

Burning bridges in the night
Breathe in child, live your life
Burning bridges, burning bright
Rise up now, claim your right

Embers dim from the night
Leave the shadows for the light
Sense the freedom in the air
No more burden to bear

Burning bridges in the night
Breathe in child, live your life
Burning bridges, burning bright
Rise up now, claim your right
Rise up now and claim
Yeh, claim your right

DEEP END


© 2018 Douglas C. Mann / Zoyka Music / BMI

Like a cat with nine lives
I know how to survive
Knock me down but not out
Your mistake no doubt

Going off the deep end
Going off the deep end
Going off the deep end
Yeh, the deep end

Been to hell and back
Lived to not talk about that
My heart’s black as coal
Digging dirt to find my soul

Going off the deep end
Going off the deep end
Going off the deep end
Yeh, the deep end

The hounds of hell shake the ground
Scream out loud without a sound
Call me friend, call me foe
Think the things you think you know

Going off the deep end
Going off the deep end
Going off the deep end
Going off the deep end
Deep end, deep end, yeh
Deep end, deep end, yeh
Deep end, deep end, yeh

CRADLE TO GRAVE


© 2019 Douglas C. Mann / Zoyka Music / BMI

From cradle to grave
You treat me like your slave
Gave you all I got to give
But you want more
So, I dig and dig and dig

Stray dogs don’t make good pets
Loose this chain around my neck
Bite your hand master
Hope the hell you get there faster

Cradle to grave
In between is what matters
Cradle to grave
Ashes on the wind scatter
Cradle to grave
We’re all slaves
From cradle to grave

Fell down a hole
Grasping mud, skulls, and bones
Caught a glimpse of a light
Passed me by
As I spiraled through the night

Cradle to grave
In between is what matters
Cradle to grave
Ashes on the wind scatter
Cradle to grave
We’re all slaves
From cradle to grave

MERCY STATION


© 2019 Douglas C. Mann / Zoyka Music / BMI

Ain’t here to save no souls
Can’t tell you what I don’t know
We are all God’s creation
Next stop, mercy station

Mercy, mercy me
Grace and peace is what we need
Mercy, mercy me
When sheep follow, wolves do lead

Don’t care much for man’s rules
Sail on, you ship of fools
Off earth’s edge and foundation
Next stop, mercy station

Mercy, mercy me
Grace and peace is what we need
Mercy, mercy me
When sheep follow, wolves do lead

Cry a river of tears
From the salt of life’s years
Embrace your emancipation
Next stop, mercy station

Mercy, mercy me
Grace and peace is what we need
Mercy, mercy me
When sheep don’t follow, wolves won’t lead
When sheep don’t follow, wolves won’t lead

LOVE ME LIKE YOU SAY


© 2020 Douglas C. Mann / Zoyka Music / BMI

Love me like you say
Not for a moment, not for a day
Not even when our kisses fade
Yeh, love me, yeh, love me
Like you say

Love comes, love goes
Where to God only knows
Break my heart into
A song written by the blues

Love me like you say
Not for a moment, not for a day
Not even when our kisses fade
Yeh, love me, yeh, love me
Like you say

Words twist, words turn
Paper curls, paper burns
Break my heart into
A song written by the blues

Love me like you say
Not for a moment, not for a day
Not even when our kisses fade
Yeh, love me, yeh, love me
Like you say
Yeh, yeh

YOU DON'T OWN ME


© 2019 Douglas C. Mann / Zoyka Music / BMI

My past with you was like a stone
Tries to drown me when I’m alone
You broke my heart and scarred my soul
You never cared to even know

You, you, you don’t own me
You, you, you don’t own me
You, you, you don’t own me
But you do owe me

What you did made my head a mess
Your ghosts haunt me less and less
Now in my eleventh hour
I choose not to give you the power

You, you, you don’t own me
You, you, you don’t own me
You, you, you don’t own me
But you do owe me

Tick tock, time marches on
Life’s short, let’s get it on
Living like there’s no tomorrow
No need to beg or borrow

You, you, you don’t own me
You, you, you don’t own me
You, you, you don’t own me
But you do owe me
