BORN AGAIN
Lyrics.......Logan & Jessica
Goldstein
Music.......Mark W. Costoso
Has anybody ever told you your eyes are like the sky
Beautiful, blue and all around
Has anybody ever told you you're like a kitten
Young and innocent
But be careful or be bound for hell
'Cause sometimes shit happens
You just have to work around it and live on
Everywhere I look, I see you, darling
Every time I don't, I miss you, baby
CHORUS
And when I'm near you, Feels like I've been Born Again
And when you touch me, Feels like I've been Born Again
Has anybody ever called you an angel
Won't you forgive me, darling
'Cause everybody makes mistakes sometimes
CHORUS
Every time I don't, I miss you, baby
And everybody makes mistakes sometimes
CHORUS
My heart begins to beat....In this world, I see no defeat
Oh, I need you now....And I'm sorry, darling
Please come back to me

THE TURNING AROUND
Lyrics & Music...Mark Costoso
You know the world keeps on turning around
I know your world has turned upside down
Looking like it's gonna rain today
Blackened clouds just won't go away
Should you trust your life to fate
Should you think it's just too late
Should you wallow in despair
Should you tell yourself you just don't care
CHORUS
Hold on 'till the Turning Around
Be strong 'till the Turning Around
The love and joy that surrounds your soul
Has fallen into a burning hole
The bitter anger that breeds inside
The pain of feelings you just can't hide
The one thing you need to know
Is that the pain will soon let go
And for all you feel right now
It's the other side you'll feel somehow
CHORUS
Should you trust your life to fate
Should you think it's just too late
Should you wallow in despair
Should you tell yourself you just don't care
The one thing you need to know
Is that the pain will soon let go
And for all you feel right now
It's the other side you'll feel somehow
CHORUS

NOLITA
Lyrics & Music...Mark Costoso
Nolita rises from her sleep
And gazes out across the streets of Manhattan
She wonders who she'll call on
Who'll be forced to leave this town
Forty years spent on these streets
On the edge of Little Italy and Chinatown
Just like the corner deli
Now she's gonna take us down
We don't belong here anymore
They can expand the corner store
Triple the rent, won't cost them a cent
The tenant will pay to renovate
Just leave the key at the door
CHORUS
Nolita....Yeah, it's just a name
Nolita....Running through my brain
Nolita....Driving me insane
Nolita....And it will never be the same
Nolita....The message is quite clear
Nolita....They want us out of here
The new aristocracy
The foreign entrepreneur with bottomless pockets
They're here to make their money
Off a name and a promise
The transformation has begun
Nolita has already won
Triple the rent, won't cost them a cent
The tenant will pay to renovate
So what are you waiting for
NoHo, SoHo, TriBeCa, Greenwich and the Village too
Now they can add Nolita once they get rid of me and you
Clean up all the graffiti, get the homeless off the streets
Prepare for all the tourists with exclusive overpriced boutiques
CHORUS
Noilta's 'round the corner, she's coming this way
If you don't fit the image, you're not gonna stay

THIS TV SHOW
Lyrics...Michael McKasty & Mark W. Costoso
Music...Mark W. Costoso
The final leg of a weekend
As the sun returns to warm the sky
And on TV, a prophecy
The mad evangelist armed with a bible
They all have different approaches
But the goal is surely understood
This TV show will save your soul
So sit right back and enjoy this revival
-CHORUS-
This TV show will save your soul
I am who am so I should know
This TV show will save your soul
Though I live in a mansion
You know our real estate is free from tax
But our power lies in influence
Our sheep will follow and do what we ask as
We orchestrate their emotions
Play them like a violin
This TV show will save your soul
And protect you from the wages of sin
-CHORUS-
God hears the prayers of only those who support and view this TV show
Your contributions serve us well and cut the throats of infidels
Come join us in our holy quest
Of all religions, mine is best
This one true word is ours to sell
Non subscribers go to hell

MY ANGEL
Lyrics & Music...Mark Costoso
From when I wished upon a star
To think I've really come this far
From where I've been to where we are
When I look into your eyes
I feel the magic deep inside
I know that this is meant to be for me
CHORUS
You're my sunshine in the rain
You give and take away my pain
You make me crazy, keep me sane
You're my angel
And I will never let you go
Can't bear to live my life without you
In my heart of hearts, I know
You're my angel
I know you gave me so much time
For me to heal the hurt inside
But now my arms are open wide
I found what I've been searching for
You finally opened up the door
And now I love you even more than before
CHORUS
You're everything I dreamt you'd be
Fulfill my every fantasy
And I'm so happy you're my wife
And for the rest of my life
CHORUS

YOUR NAME
Lyrics...Leo Gonzales
Music.......Mark W. Costoso
Has anybody called you an angel
Does anybody feel you cry but me
Do you hear the voices from miles away
Tell me are you afraid to dream
Does anybody worry when you're alone
Has anybody followed through on words
Or did you feel like leaving another sign
A place you belonged....Is this your time
CHORUS
Can you see the fore burning
I don't know where to go
Didn't know the tides were turning
Like they have done before
Has anybody called you your name
Has anybody called you a princess
They'll give you what you're looking for...a smile
Roses in your garden without the thorns
Did you really find what you're looking for
CHORUS

LOVE ALONE
Lyrics...Michael Ellis
Music...Mark Costoso
Hey there, baby
You drive me crazy
Send me out of my mind
Uh-huh honey
Got no money
But I got plenty of time
On and on the world keeps spinning
I get dizzier by the day
Time won't wait for the perfect moment
Just say what you've got to say
CHORUS
Can't get water from a broken faucet
Or blood from a common stone
Who needs cars or fancy houses
You can live on love alone
BRIDGE
Love and love alone
Love and love alone
It's not to be bought
Got to find it on your own
Learn your lessons from my confessions
Take these words to heart
You can't get to the promised land
If you don't know where to start
CHORUS

EXPLODE
Lyrics.......Patrick R. Madera
Music.......Mark W. Costoso
I'll take the blame, I know that I've changed
But that's no reason to hate me so blindly
I lose myself so no one can find me
Constantly looking behind me
I need to find the thing that helps remind me
Why does life treat me unkindly
So step by step I'm slowly dying
Shadows fall, I hear all of your crying
CHORUS
I'm like a time bomb...ready to Explode
And you've got me ticking on overload
Sometimes we go on without worries or fears
Sometimes we bear the cross and the other times it's fear
A lonely road dark and barely lit
Makes it hard to understand why do we take this shit
I want to give in I see no sense in to try
Waiting for my turn and my day to die
CHORUS
The eyes of justice are shut for me
Without reason why would they give a fuck for me
Spoken words fall on deaf ears
My blood, my sweat, my tears
I pray you save me from all my fears
Or at least give me rest in my dying years
CHORUS
You wait your turn....You live and learn
Without concern....You crash and burn

WHEN YOU'RE LONELY
Lyrics.......A. Lorenzo Bryan
Music.......Mark W. Costoso
I can't see you in your castle....I can't hear it when you cry
But I know when you're hurting....And I feel it when you sigh
As I walk to greet each morning....You're not with me at my side
But I know if it could be....We would make it, you and I
CHORUS
Do you think of me When You're Lonely
Do you hear my whispers to your mind
I've not held you but I feel you
I don't own you but you are mine
In the days we've spent together....In the year that has gone by
I found love that is forever....A love so strong that I could cry
I want to touch you the way you've touched me....I want to fill you with my love
When you sit silent each morning....Does my voice echo in your ears
CHORUS
In the stillness of the evening....Far from pressures of the day
Lay my head upon a pillow....Thoughts drift to you far away
But I know that I hurt you....And I know that you've cried
In your heart, please forgive me....Let my love dry your eyes
As we love and laugh together....A closer bond between us grows
Years of searching are now over....For in our love, I've found my home
Stay with me, now and always....Stay with me deep inside
You've shown me what true love is....Once again, I can fly
CHORUS

VIOLET
Lyrics.....Doreen Hintz Walsh
Music.......Mark W. Costoso
You've always been there for me
Cared for me, loving me
And you've always talked to me
Listened to me, nurtured me
I've been there when you needed me
And I am here now
You've always been there for me
Helping me, holding me
You've always understood me
Comforted me, advised me
I've been there when you needed me
And I am here now
Love burning and real
As it cries from inside
Yet I'm helpless and hurt
And my hands are tied
I've been there when you needed me
And I am here now
Wishing I could take your pain
Take your pain away
Or lighten it for
Just one day
Wishing I could understand
Understand god's way
But I do know why
He wants you

RESTLESS HEARTS
Lyrics...Michael McKasty
Music.......Mark W. Costoso
It don't add up, It don't make sense
All of the time and energy spent
'Though we can't live on memories past
Love forever is too much to ask
Just two lives after all
Even the petals of a rose must fall
Love begins and then it ends
You've got to gather up yourself and start again
CHORUS
Restless Hearts like yours and mine
Will always wander 'till the end of time
Restless Hearts like you and me
Forever will we long to be free
You said to me, "you're just a toy"
and that I'm "nothing but a reckless boy"
The way you flirt with everyone
Girls like you just love to have fun
Thirty five and just a fool
I'm never gonna play by the rules
I know damn well you'll never be
Faithful to a man like me
CHORUS
