“Magnitude” By: Michael Shomler
Intro
I know you’ve heard it all before
When I tried to apologize
Feeling numb, I couldn’t handle the Magnitude
Or read in between the lines
Verse 1
The last words you said
Before goodbye were
“Oh I will never forget you.
And I’m not leaving forever,
You’ll see me again.”
I believed you then,
And I still believe you now
I know you’ll come back
My only question is
How?
Chorus
Never should have pushed you away
Wish I could bring you back today
I know you’re hurting inside
I’m not the villain
But I could be a better good guy
Verse 2
I will be strong for you
I’ll move along for you
I will stand tall for you
I’ll find my way around
And learn to cope
Hold onto hope
Stomach the reality
Of the pain I’ve caused
Bridge
It’s my fault and I’ll take the blame
I can’t even start to explain
Regret and sorrow I ache from within
Almost like my heart was ripped out through my shins
Bridge/Build
I’ll adjust my focus
And seriously
Take responsibility
Finally learn from my mistakes
And do whatever it takes
Verse 3
So this is not the end
Bent bridges, I will mend
Together, but separate from you
Both of us
We will make it through
But losing you temporarily
Caused this emotional casualty
I pray day and night
To regain you in time
Before someone else you find
Outro
I’ll never push you away again
I‘ll bring you back to me my friends
We’re both hurting inside
I’m not the villain
But I will be a better good guy

“Crystal Clear” By: Michael Shomler
Verse 1
I see it now, it’s crystal clear.
Alone without you, is my only fear.
I’m looking in through the open glass.
You’re wondering just how long this will last.
CHORUS
I finally realize.
That you’re still with me,
After all this time.
I have nothing left to fear.
I’m sitting by with you,
And now, it’s crystal clear.
Verse 2
I brought you flowers from the field.
Said I would protect you,
Like a warrior shield.
You’ve proved that time and time again.
You’re still here with me,
And I’ll always defend,
You.
I always will defend you,
And I’ll be true to you.
CHORUS
I finally realize.
That you’re still with me,
After all this time.
And I have nothing left to fear.
I’m sitting by with you,
And now, it’s crystal clear.
Bridge
I took you in from the rain.
I dried you off,
And drove you insane.
I had to hold you close to me,
That’s when it hit you,
And you regained your sanity.
I’m here for you, in times of good and bad.
And all the days with you,
Are the best I’ve ever had.
CHORUS
I finally realize.
That you’re still with me,
After all this time.
And I have nothing left to fear.
I’m sitting by with you,
And now, it’s crystal clear.
It’s Crystal Clear.
It's Crystal Clear.

“Light” By: Michael Shomler
Verse 1
I don’t know where I’d be without your love
Drifting off somewhere in skies above
I was lost without a map
But you were there to guide me back
Pre-Chorus 1
Retrace my steps
Through all my empty dreams
My love for you
Is bursting at the various seams
Verse 2
You shine brighter than all the stars
I wish you’d stay just the way you are
I never thought I’d feel this way again
But you’re the one person I can depend on
Pre-Chorus 2
Taking my time, to do what is right.
You bring me joy, and to my darkness
Light
Pre-Chorus 1
Retrace my steps
Through all my empty dreams
My love for you
Is bursting at the various seams
Pre-Chorus 2
Taking my time, to do what is right.
You bring me joy, and to my darkness
Light
Outro
I don’t know where I’d be without your love
Drifting off somewhere in skies above
I was lost without a map
But baby, you were there to guide me
To guide me back
To guide me back
To guide me back
To guide me back

“Meant to Be” By: Michael Shomler
Intro
I'll be patient and wait for you
The time passes slowly,
Like I knew it would
But no one else
Can hold my hand like you do
And when we're together,
Right now becomes our future
Verse 1
Leave the past behind, no need to look back
On what’s said, and cannot be undone
You've always been standing there,
I don't know why I didn't notice you before
Chorus
But I see you now, you’re,
Standing at my door
With your arms open wide
And now I see, that you and me,
Were Meant to Be
Verse 2
In the time it took me to write you this song
I could have told you
All the things you were doing wrong
But I love you just the way you are
You don't need to change for me
Just don't move away real far
Don't move away real far
Break
You're sweet to me
You care for me
You're here for me
And I feel the same way for you
Chorus
And I see you now,
You're standing at my door
With your arms open wide
And now I see, that you and me,
We were meant to be
You were meant to be with me
Bridge
You're my shining star glowing in the sky
And I'm happy to say that you're all mine
You flicker with such blinding light
So I can see my dreams in your eyes tonight
Tonight
Chorus
And I see you now,
You're standing at my door
With your arms open wide
And now I see, that you and me,
We are meant to be
You are meant to be with me

“Endeavor” By: Michael Shomler
Intro
You know
You know that I miss you
And now
There’s finally something I can do
Holding hands is what I’m waiting for,
Sickened with the distance is making my heart sore
But hold on tight I feel a breeze
wishing for moments such as these
Verse 1
A lovers manifest,
I'll share these sentiments
In a distance
Just like this.
Chorus
Just wait for me
I’m coming back
for now let’s cherish
And keep our future plans on track
I’ll always hold on,
And keep my Endeavor.
The sun will heat the ground
So our days will last forever.
Verse 2
Take me on adventures
Down the back roads of your mind.
Walking hand in hand,
And forgetting about the time.
Verse 3
I call out your name
in subtle over tones.
As the noise reverberates
and it breaks my bones.
Chorus
Please just wait for me
But I’m not coming back
for now let’s cherish
and keep your future plans on track
But the tension melts away
when I hear our voices speak.
Imagine when you were here with me,
How close to you I keep.
Verse 4
As time passes on,
I would never want to grow apart.
Because you are the one
Who’s been with me from the start
Bridge
The seasons fade away
Oh, how I wish
that you could stay.
Even though I know
that you’ll be back
again, in time
Chorus
So please just wait for me
I know I’m coming back
so let’s cherish
That love we’ll never lack
I’ll always hold on,
And remember our Endeavor.
I’ll be here with you
So this day will last forever.

“Worth Living” By: Michael Shomler
Intro
I can feel the sound your eyes make
When you blink
And I'll embrace you contently,
In my dreams,
When I'm fast asleep
I wouldn't want to live a day without you
In my life, In my life
And someday, we'll never have to say
Goodbye
We'll never have to say
Verse 1
Time caught up with you,
I didn't see the phase intensify
Well, I'm wrapped up in you
As the eternities amaze and tell me why
Verse 2
Well fell through the wind,
Without a parachute
I caught you,
Brought you down
You were speechless
I was mute
Pre-Chorus
They say forever is far too long,
To be living with the same one
But our life together has only just begun
Chorus
I know what they say isn't true
Because forever isn't Worth Living
If it isn't with you
Bridge
And this is the last thing I'll say
Cuz if it were up to me
Our forever would start today
Chorus
And I know what they say isn't true
Because forever isn't Worth Living
If it isn't with you
Forever
Forever
Forever isn't Worth Living
If it isn't with
You

"Get Off My Back" By: Michael Shomler
Verse 1
Get off of me
Don’t touch my face
Please walk away
I need my space
Verse 2
Don’t raise your voice
Don’t shout out loud
Don’t think that you’re gonna
Be so proud of me
Chorus
Together we stand
With our heads held high
No one to ask us
Who, what, when, or why
you think I’m yours,
But you’re not mine
so please why don’t you smother me
some other time
Verse 3
You smother me
Oh I hate your guts
If you think I love you still
You must be nuts
Chorus
Together we stand
with our heads held high
No one to ask us
Who, what, when, or why
you think I’m yours,
But you’re not mine
so please why don’t you
Smother me some other time
Chorus
Together we stand
with our heads held high
No one to ask us
Who, what, when, or why
you think I’m yours,
But you’re not mine
so please why don’t you
Smother me some other time

“The Man Staring Back At Me” By: Michael Shomler
Intro
I may destroy everything I touch,
If wisdom coated my foolish words,
I would still have what I need,
And I wouldn’t miss you this much.
Chorus
Though I’ve been forgiven for what I’ve done wrong
I hope in time I learn to move on.
Not to forget when you were here.
Let me conquer my demons,
And overcome my greatest fear.
Bridge
So I can be the man
Staring back at me when
I look in the mirror
Verse 1
I am too persistent for my own good
I can’t; I won’t; I refuse to quit
Or be misunderstood
Listen closely as I tell you this now
I will get you back
Someday,
Somehow.
Verse 2
I won’t give up
I won’t back down
I’ll sing this song
Though I’m unwelcome
In your town
We are young
We are free
And full of all
Sorts of possibilities
Chorus
Though I’ve been forgiven for what I’ve done wrong
I hope in time I learn to move on.
Not to forget when you were here.
Let me conquer my demons,
And overcome my greatest fear.
Bridge
So I can be
The man staring back at me
I'll be the man staring back at me
I'll be the man staring back at me
I'll be the man staring back at me
I'll be the man staring back at me
Outro
I’ll stare through my reflection
I see only the imperfection
Just try to look passed me
That is who I shall be.
I'll be the man staring back at me
I'll be the man staring back at me
I'll be the man staring back at me
I'll be the man staring back at me
I'll be the man staring back at me
I'll be the man staring back at me
I'll be the man staring back at me
I'll be the man staring back at me

“Finally” By: Michael Shomler
Intro
I’ve learned my lesson here.
I assumed the signs were all misread.
I’ve often thought to myself,
what was supposed to be said?
I’ve tried to forget the words to this song,
Over and over again.
But each time I try and clear my mind,
Drift off, think of way back when.
Verse 1
We used to be friends.
You used to be there for me.
Where did you go?
Did I push you away finally?
The dimming illumination
Once molded my heart like clay
A void formed where you should be
Please remember when you wanted to stay
Bridge 1
but I’ve let myself down again
I think about you still,
By focusing on what I really need
I could never forget your will.
I’ll never forget your will.
Verse 2
I asked you to show me how,
my life could be a dream.
I will always remember those days
that’s my golden guarantee.
Verse 3
You were like family to me,
But I don’t know anymore.
I still think about good times,
When I didn’t ache down to the core.
Bridge 2
Finally I’m breaking down
Why does it have to be this way?
In my mind you might begin to fade.
Oh please don’t fade away.
Verse 4
When empty spaces between my nerves,
Fill up with forgotten thoughts,
Over brims with your honest words,
I’ll sit here and try to connect the dots
Build/Bridge/Outro
I think need somebody here.
I need you right now.
Finally I can see you clearly,
So I won’t ask you how.
Or who you are, or where you’ve been.
Cause you’re back here with me.
You’re back here with me again.
Finally
Finally
Finally
Finally
Finally
Finally
Finally
Finally

“Seattle, Seattle” By: Michael Shomler and Akela Knutson
Some days I get out of bed
I grab a cup of coffee to clear my head
I wait out by my bus stop
Hoping it doesn’t rain
I see the heavens open up,
To bring me my moisture pain
Seattle Seattle I love it here,
I love the buildings, streets, and the piers
Seattle Seattle you are my home
I wish I could call you
one the phone
I wish I could call you on the phone
I wander to star bucks down my street
Past EMP and the Arena Key
An indie girl takes my glass
Time waiting as the metro pass
The market’s where I buy my food
Walking where tom hanks once stood
Space needle elevator goes up and down
Seattle Seattle I love it here,
I love the building streets and the piers
Seattle Seattle you are my home
I wish I could call you one the phone
Oh I turned on the news today
To see what it had to say
Weather man said here comes the rain
Man-o-man its always the same
But besides that same old fact
The Northwest is always like that
Oh I still love the places here
Seattle, Seattle. I love you dear.
On a rainy afternoon
I grab my umbrella
and hope the rain stops soon
Take another walk outside
Fresh clear air is where I go for a ride.
Seattle Seattle I love it here,
I love the building streets and the piers
Seattle Seattle you are my home
I wish I could call you one the phone
The evergreens paint a scene
In the forest it is so serene
Clear mountain air so high above
Seattle Seattle you are my love
Seattle Seattle I love it here,
I love the building streets and the piers
Seattle Seattle you are my home
I wish I could call you one the phone
