GUILTLESS HAND
Lyrics by Doug Mallard

It wasn't always like this
Still this is what it's become
Two blind souls walking into the same four walls
I hurt you, you say you're sorry
You hurt me, I said I'm sorry
And there's so much to this story
We never bothered to read

CHORUS:
A seed of wisdom was planted in the sand
Still I felt the need to dig it out with a guiltless hand
You don't look twice at me
Just feel like ice to me
It must be so nice to be
The only one who inhabits your little world
You knew it was on my brain
You kept me wired and chained
And that just cannot explain
The reason that I wanted you anyway

CHORUS:
A seed of wisdom was planted in the sand
Still I felt the need to dig it out with a guiltless hand

I can't say I was not stuck there
But now that I've seen you from here
I know I could never go
And fall back in with you again
It's never been known to change
No one's willing to admit the blame
Now it just flies around and lands
On uncovered skin

CHORUS:
A seed of wisdom was planted in the sand
Still I felt the need to dig it out with a guiltless hand

A seed of wisdom was planted in the sand
Still I felt the need to dig it out with a guiltless hand
To dig it out with a guiltless hand
To dig it out with a guiltless hand

I hurt you, you say you're sorry
You hurt me, I said I'm sorry
And there's so much to this story......





SAINT BOB
Lyrics by Doug Mallard, 10-15-97

Old Saint Bob, your spirit was robbed
From the hearts of your innocent children;
When God saved a cloud,
For a rowdy and loud redneck fella;
With a tasteless ethnic joke
And a camel filter smoke,
I'm sure you feel like you've found your heaven;
But now the halo on your head,
So much to be said,
To the person who controls these things.

CHORUS:
I lost my faith in Jesus,
The day he took you away from me.
Some nights I feel like the Devil,
Is the one who should be following me.
Aah, aah, aah,
There's no calm before the storm.
Aah, aah, aah,
There's no calm before the storm.

The ones who were blessed,
And liked to molest
The children questioning heaven;
Your man of the cloth
Resentful to all
The checks of the paper claim;
Lord, I'm standing here and
It doesn't seem clear
All the mysteries surrounding your ways.
For man makes the concepts,
Your God makes mistakes and
He doesn't clean up the pieces He breaks.

CHORUS:
I lost my faith in Jesus,
The day he took you away from me.
Sometimes I feel like the Devil,
Is the one who should be following me.
Aah, aah, aah,
There's no calm before the storm.
Aah, aah, aah,
There's no calm before the storm.

There's no calm before the storm.





IN THE CLOSET
Lyrics by Doug Mallard, 9-4-2000

When he didn't feel strong he acted strong just like a strong man
When he felt all wrong he acted tough and became a real man
But when the lights went out, he told nobody
What he already knew
He was what he hated most.
When he felt terrified, he talked so loud that you would hear him
If he felt criticized, he'd change the subject so you'd avoid him
The attractions he felt ripped him up inside
For he always knew he was what he hated most
And when he died, his sister said it was cancer
And when he died, his brother said he had heart problems
And when he died, his father said it was pneumonia
Though you were gone, you were still in the closet
Though you were gone, you were still in the closet
Though you were gone, you were still in the closet
Though you were gone, you were still in the closet




This is a writing of Jon's from his school days...

I walked a long way to find the distance of my findings
I found a lot of strange things
I found the meaning of friendship in this distance
I found the meaning of sharing and caring
I found the meaning of love lost and not found
I found the meaning of forgiveness when it could have been hate
I found a closeness in my life, a closeness that made me think about the past
I thought about the hurt I once had
Then I thought about how I am now glad.
