COMATOSE
Lyrics by Jakki Jelene
Lying here in my room
See the glass reflect the moon
Silence driving me insane
Thoughts that echo through my brain
Morning comes and I must face
The emptiness that fills this place
With you no longer living here
I will not wake ’til you reappear
Why can’t I be somewhere far
Away from here on a shooting star
Flying high through the air
Comatose and unaware
I know I will need to deal
With all the sadness that I feel
And maybe someday I just might
But I only want to dream tonight
I lie here in bed, forever asleep
Lost in a dream I continue to keep
This broken heart should be dealt with, I agree
But nothing else matters if you’re not here with me
Why can’t I be somewhere far
Away from here on a shooting star
Flying high through the air
Comatose and unaware

INSTRUMENT
Lyrics by Jakki Jelene
Use me as an instrument
Let me speak the words you say
Give to me a brand new song
For I long to sing your praises
I love you
I need you
Got to have you in my life
Every morning that I wake
Greet me with the sweetest melody
Be near me throughout the day
As I gladly sing your praises
I love you
I need you
Got to have you in my life
In the shadows of the musical interlude
I search for the light that I know will see me through
When I wander through the night in solitude
I can hear your voice guiding me back to you
I love you
I need you
Got to have you in my life

WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?
Lyrics by Jakki Jelene
I can feel the coldness in your lips
And I no longer feel The
Sweet caresses of your finger tips
The love is gone
When I look into your eyes I see
A void where I once used to be
But now those eyes are on the door
So darling what are you waiting for?
Even though I don’t want you to go
It hurts me more when you put on a show
And make believe that you still love me
Darling you know that I would know if you still loved me
I can’t stand to continue living this way
Just dancing around what you want to say
I’m tired of these games we play
The love is gone
I dont want to hold you against your will
I’ll set you free though I love you still
So if I’m not the one you adore
Then darling what are you waiting for?
Even though I don’t want you to go
It hurts me more when you put on a show
And make believe that you still love me
Darling you know that I would know if you still loved me
We never should have had to give up on our dream
But baby we are falling apart at the seam
Even still I have no doubt
Somehow we could work this out
If you would return your heart to me
Even though I don’t want you to go
It hurts me more when you put on a show
And make believe that you still love me
Darling you know that I would know if you still loved me

IT NEVER STOPS
Lyrics by Jakki Jelene
See me for what I am
Be free if you only condemn
And it never stops, and I’m out of my head
No it never stops, and it wont ’til we’re dead
You will never stop, until you get your way
No it never stops, as we fall in disarray
Why do I try when you don’t understand?
By and by it’s out of my hands
And it never stops, and I’m out of my head
No it never stops, and it wont ’til we’re dead
You will never stop, until you get your way
No it never stops, as we fall in disarray

TIME (IT’S NOT TOO LATE)
Lyrics by Jakki Jelene
Time is of the essence and you’re running out of time
Will you make your way to glory to the divine?
I can see you moving, heading toward the heavenly gate
You have waited far too long but it’s not too late
I can hear a whisper calling from the radiant blue
In a voice so sweet and tender it’s calling you
But time is of the essence, and there is no time to spare
If you make your way to glory, I’ll meet you there

COLD INSIDE
Lyrics by Jakki Jelene
I cannot believe
And I cannot feel
I cannot imagine
And I am not real
I no longer smile
Cannot shed a tear
I’m no longer angry
No more will I fear
I am cold inside
I may as well have died
A breath is but a sigh
From the emptiness of life
I cannot believe
And I cannot feel
I cannot imagine
And I am not real
I am cold inside
I may as well have died
A breath is but a sigh
From the emptiness of life
I am cold inside, I am cold inside
Healing takes some time
Don’t give up, you’ll be just fine

LIFE LINE
Lyrics by Jakki Jelene
‘I’m fine!’ she heard him say before he slammed the door
They have been through this a million times before
Another night of psychedelic scenes
Flashes from the television screen
She goes down on her knees to say a prayer
And wonders if he even made it there
4 am and still no word at all
Plain to see the writing on the wall
He’s intoxicated and feeling elated, but not for too long
It’s so very frightening, she’s knows that it’s likely that things could go wrong
One of these days he will deal with fate
It may already be too late
How many secrets and how many lies
Can you tell to the baby with her Father’s eyes?
Pick up the phone and dial 911
Got to get to him first before the damage is done
Should the morning light shine God only knows what they’ll find
Will somebody please throw this man a life line?
She goes down on her knees to say a prayer
And wonders if he even made it there
4 am and still no word at all
Plain to see the writing on the wall
He’s intoxicated and feeling elated, but not for too long
It’s so very frightening, she’s knows that it’s likely that things could go wrong

TREASURE
Lyrics by Jakki Jelene
My heart stopped beating when you walked into the room
Your wicked smile made it happen all too soon
In just a moment the ground was swept away
I’m much too conscious of the image I portray
Cause I’m the kind of girl who plays by the rules
And won’t be caught up in your web like other fools
The way you move told me all I need to know
But I’m the kind of girl who likes to take it slow
So I must fight this passion blazing deep inside
Ignore the subtle hints of interest you implied
My body’s willing but my mind is in control
You may have my heart but you’ll never have my soul
La la la, la la la
I know you’re kind and what you have in mind
You want to steal with your charm and sex appeal
I know you’re kind and what you have in mind
You want to steal despite how others feel
I know you’re kind and what you have in mind
You want to steal what I fight to conceal
This is a treasure not just anyone can own
And I’m prepared to give you up and walk alone
It’s for a reason that I’ve waited patiently
For the right kind of love to come and set me free
It’s not so easy but I know what must be done
Protect myself until I know I’ve found the one
La la la, la la la
I know you’re kind and what you have in mind
You want to steal with your charm and sex appeal
I know you’re kind and what you have in mind
You want to steal despite how others feel
I know you’re kind and what you have in mind
You want to steal what I fight to conceal

LULLABY
Lyrics by Jakki Jelene
Twelve O’clock a restless night
In my heart a glowing light
A fire that is burning bright
How I wish I had you
Dreams that tear down all my will
Lovely as a daffodil
But pain and hurt linger still
Knowing I don’t have you
Lullaby, Lullaby, Lullaby
Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray your heart I have to keep
Quietly I begin to weep
God I have to have you
Time for me to drift away
One last thing I’ve got to say
You’ll be here with me someday
I know that I will have you
Lullaby, Lullaby, Lullaby

MY SANCTUARY
Lyrics by Jakki Jelene
When the night is cold and the love is gone
When I have no place to go I am not alone
When my trust is wearing thin and the walls are closing in
Just when all my hope is gone you were with me all along
I don’t worry about my heart, it’s a burden I don’t carry
When the road becomes too hard you are my sanctuary
I won’t worry about my heart when it’s dark and cold and scary
You are where I find my peace, you are my sanctuary
Through the storm when I find that I am weak
There you are, holding close to me
When everything’s ok and nothing is wrong with me
Where you are is still where I want to be
I don’t worry about my heart, it’s a burden I don’t carry
When the road becomes too hard you are my sanctuary
I won’t worry about my heart when it’s dark and cold and scary
You are where I find my peace, you are my sanctuary
(You are, you are)

TO THE SEA
Lyrics by Jakki Jelene
Luscious lips with one last kiss, I’m standing here all alone
Say goodbye but do no not cry, instead I turn to stone
I cannot imagine life without you next to me
Instead I’ll have to move onward to the sea
Say farewell, forever dwell on love that’s faded away
The growing pain drives me insane, there’s nothing left to say
I cannot imagine life without you next to me
Instead I’ll have to move onward to the sea
Drowning away in my sorrows then falling astray
Drowning away in the sea, I’m drifting away
You broke the spell and time will tell when all the answers are clear
I’ll be gone and you’ll move on but will not shed a tear
How can you just go through life and never stop to see?
How I wish you would be drowning next to me
Drowning away in my sorrows and falling astray
Drowning away in the sea, I’m drifting away
Drowning away in my sorrows that just won’t go away
Drowning away in the sea, I’m leaving today

SILENT NIGHT
Lyrics by Joseph Mohr
Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon Virgin Mother and Child
Holy Infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace
Silent night, holy night!
Shepherds quake at the sight
Glories stream from heaven afar
Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia!
Christ, the Savior is born
Christ, the Savior is born
Silent night, holy night
Son of God, love’s pure light
Radiant beams from Thy holy face
With the dawn of redeeming grace
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth
