Settling

Verse 1: This old house is settling as it squeaks and groans and moans, like chains and bones. This old house is surely settling on foundations made of stones, cinder blocks, metal locks.

Chorus: It likes to wake me up at night. Before the coming of light. It says you must know one thing, we're settling. And if we take what we can and we give what we want and we only want what we haven't got, we're settling.

Verse 2: This old house is haunted by the ghost of the never was, the could have been, the should have been. This old house is surely haunted by the death of dreams, like destiny and tranquility.

Chorus:

Bridge: And as I move throughout the darkness of the night, vertigo seems to be the only friend in sight.

Verse 3: For this house is settling, settline the score, for long lost dreams and broken wings. And this old house is settling, settling the loans, the deep regrets, the unpaid debts.

Chorus:

End:Repeat Chorus musically, end with "This old house is settling"

The Apple

Verse 1: He was a sad little boy filled with little joy in his life of misery. You'd have to walk in his shoes to understand the blue of his personal history. For he lives with depression and that's his confession. Oh father forgive me, but the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

Verse 2: He was an angry young man with no definite plan and night fueled by alcohol. He drank to forget a life of regret 'til he remembered nothing at all. A life full o fvices at heavy prices, father forgive me, but the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

Chorus:
