Description This album details my feelings and experiences during the last 2 years of my college life. Everything is represented here: love found, love lost, self-motivation, loss of loved ones, positive and negative looks at the future, etc. All content is by me, and I am self taught on all instruments. I am not the greatest singer, but good enough for this album. Overall, these songs have a very basic sound to them, which might work if they are therefore seen as uniquely authentic. Credits All content by Michael Alan Christiansen. |

Sea Of Misery
Verse 1:
The lonely days and the lonely nights, seemed my way had no end in sight Turned my back on the good and right, gone astray from the good fight Built a prison out of my memories, took my heart to depths that no-one could see Walls of stone and bars of steel, would crumble from the weight of such misery My love had gone astray like the soul of a young runaway, yeah gone away Taken by the ones from those yesterdays, deep-rooted sadness is the price I paid Chorus: I was drowning in a sea of misery You reached in the waters and you pulled me free You set me free Verse 2: Bright lights and living on high, became my escape, my full time alibi Knowing that if I could just make it for a little while I’d find a love to let me spread my arms and fly I was drowning in a sea of misery, you reached in my heart and you pulled me free Took a wretched man with no more sanity, your love and devotion have set me free (Chorus) Verse 3: Battles fought and lessons learned, went hand in hand with the sorrows I earned Signs ignored, wrong directions I turned, left me with all of my bridges burned I looked for comfort in the shadow of a memory The pictures on the walls, silent ghosts wouldn’t let me be Locked up my conscience and I threw away the key The weight of the world had me on my knees (Chorus) Verse 4: Swallowed pride, many chances missed, precious time for a priceless gift Taking hold of a granted wish, to grasp a new love and a life to live A welcome sight is the look in your eyes A welcome night is to hold you tight Every day gone by is like my own private paradise Finding contentment, with you by my side (Chorus X2) You set me free (whispered) embed code Put the clip of this song on any of your html web pages.

My Everything
Intro:
Counting the days, since you went away Knowing that I must have driven you astray Reaching out for you in the dead of the night Loneliness of a life without the one who gave my life it’s light Verse 1: This season of pain, this wait is like an eternal rain The hurt that holds me down in one place just like a ball and chain You took your love and you closed my soul, I call to God above to be merciful We were in love it was wonderful, you were like a dove so beautiful Chorus: Every time you come my way, it makes me wonder why My heart it was betrayed, as I fall to my knees and cry Every time I see your face, the tears fall from my eyes Ever since you went away, I’ve missed having you, as my everything You were my everything Verse 2: Looking way up high for an answer to my prayer Looking deep inside for a cure for my despair Each day gone by is filled with woe; I can’t see why you had to go My pretty butterfly don’t say it’s so, give it time, please don’t say no (Chorus) Verse 3: By and by I yearn for you to come back girl My heart you chose to burn after I gave you the world Like a distant shore, you’re far from me, forever more I long to see The one I adore, please hear my plea, my heart is the door, you hold the key (Chorus) embed code Put the clip of this song on any of your html web pages.

The Way Things Used To Be
Verse 1:
Feeling time moving slow Have to find where I have to go Go to take that next road Not knowing where I’ll go Pre-Chorus: Everything on my mind these days is my memories Thinking of the time when I was running free Everything that was right’s gone wrong, it’s my destiny Wishing that my life was the way it used to be Chorus: Wishing that things were the way that they used to be I’m living a life of confusion and misery Wishing that things were the way that they used to be I’m living with pain and despair and calamity Verse 2: Take me back to a place and time When I felt like I could not go wrong, and the world was only mine Every night gone by feels like the end of time When I chose my path I did it blind (Pre-Chorus) (Chorus) Verse 3: The rain falls down as the angels cry I’ve lost my way and I don’t know why When I think I’ve found the strength to try I’m pushed to the ground by the sound of my past telling me goodbye (Pre-Chorus) (Chorus) Verse 4: If I could make all the pain subside Put my fears behind, keep the hope inside I’d take a chance, let patience be my guide I could hope for a better day, not have to run and hide (Pre-Chorus) (Chorus) embed code Put the clip of this song on any of your html web pages.

That Inner Peace
Verse 1:
Everything in my life nowadays is making me insane, who’s to blame Every prayer is said in vain, darkness is calling my name Every day is colder and gray, I’ve gone astray from the right way Finding my mind in a grasp, in a bind, will I last, am I blind, at last, will I find That inner peace Chorus1: Everything is crashing down, at my feet from all around, my sanity has hit the ground Hoping for the pain to cease, looking for a stress release, the world’s got me on my knees Praying for that inner peace Verse 2: Lying in my bed at night, room lit up by the cool moonlight On the losing end of a morality fight, I wish someone could hear my plight I don’t know how low I might go, I’ve been overcome with sorrow Feeling the pain of a past like a rain, ever vast, one day, will I have, will I gain That inner peace Chorus 2: Everything is crashing down, at my feet from all around, my sanity has hit the ground Hoping for the pain to cease, looking for a stress release, the world’s got me on my knees Searching for that inner peace Verse 3: My hopes and dreams are fading out, making room for the fear and doubt Not sure what my life’s about, these feelings I could do without I can’t see what’s in it for me, I can never be truly free Where can I go, what can I do, to let go To make it through, to have hope, to live anew, so I can know That inner peace Chorus 3: Everything is crashing down, at my feet from all around, my sanity has hit the ground Hoping for the pain to cease, looking for a stress release, the world’s got me on my knees Calling for that inner peace embed code Put the clip of this song on any of your html web pages.

Here And Now
Verse 1:
All your days, are spent looking out for a better way Everyone says that you’re out for play, not the same as yesterday It’s time to find the road from which you went astray I’m the one that you strive to be I know my son, what you want to see, but you’re on the run Chorus: All, it must be here and now, it’s too late to take a fall It doesn’t matter how, you’ve got to give it all, the time to go is now Don’t listen to the call of what gets you down The time to give it all is here and now Verse 2: Oh, you’re on the run Oh no, the battle’s never done Everything that you say and do is pretty much the same Nothing’s ever new, take a look at the feelings deep in you Try to see the bigger picture, gain a better view I’m the one that you try to see I know my son how hard it seems, when you need someone (Chorus) Verse 3: Oh you’re not the only one Oh no, the work is never done Love’s the key, hope is the way; we may never see, into the next day If we can use the power that we keep Maybe we can take that leap to the land of the wild and free You’re the one that inspires me I know my son that we’ll be free It has begun (Chorus) embed code Put the clip of this song on any of your html web pages.

Open Your Eyes
Verse 1:
Lying still, hear the sounds of the whippoorwill on my little hill Breezes blow by as I sort out my clouded mind Taking time to think of the days from my old life The world’s mine, but I wish I could go back in time I know someday that you might see it my way I have to leave, it does you harm for me to stay I have no answers to the things that you say I must move on to find my own way CHORUS 1: You must open your eyes to the truth that will make you feel free inside Verse 2: Moving on, it feels like it’s been so long Moving slow, never been this far from home Where to go, where should I let my freedom flow Cool winds blow, God only knows where I might go I was so glad to become this nomad It was too late to turn our backs on our hate It wasn’t OK when I lived by your say And now I can live my life my own way (CHORUS) Verse 3: Feeling down, I wonder if you’ve come around Headed home, I’ve lost the strength to roam I’m alone; I hope you’ve come unto your own I have grown, the love you need I’ve been shown I have missed you as I hold and I kiss you I’ve struggled so, through and through and I know that you and I have been through Some rocky times, our lives are made anew CHORUS 2: I have opened my eyes to the truth that has made me feel free inside We have opened our eyes to the love that has made us complete inside embed code Put the clip of this song on any of your html web pages.

You'll Be Mine
INTRO:
Drifting, I’m floating away Lifting my head today VERSE 1: Very little time for thought, knowing time can kill A very little time I’ve bought, knowing time it won’t stand still A friendly little war that’s fought in the caverns of our soul It’s gonna take a lot for us to reach a goal.
