Chaotic Sanctity

Bonified Sexual commentary
And I’m sure you’ve got a health bone to pick with me
But I’m choosing my illusions so carefully
I’m choosing chaotic sanctity
Don’t talk just walk into the kitchen
Sit yourself down into the chair
I’ll hold onto your shoulders
And you can run your fingers through my hair
Moonlight beams off your sweaty brow
There is no other time or place besides here and now
You can be my Romeo and I your Juliette
And this will be the night that neither you or I
Ever forget
Come
on baby hold on tight…. adore me….
Tonight
Your love, it moves straight through me and I’m choosing
Chaotic Sanc-ti-ty.
Bonified Sexual commentary

Don't Tell My Heart
Words and Music by Amber Snider ©2003, Puddle

I found me a new love, I hope it's a true love
But I don't really know where I stand
Sometimes you like to fight, you don't call, I stay up all night
But my poor heart won't understand
Save your breath and your dime, don't make that call
Cuz' my heart won't listen, won't listen at all
Don't tell my heart it's over
Cuz' my heart won't understand
I've got a stubborn heart
It's been proven again and again
I saw you just the other day
You said you were going my way
We haven't talked since then
I thought I'd hear from you, by now I usually do
I guess all good things must end
Save your breath and your dime, don't make that call
Cuz' my heart won't listen, won't listen at all
Don't tell my heart it's over
Cuz' my heart won't understand
I've got a stubborn heart
It's been proven again and again
Maybe I?m asking for too much.. A tender love, a warm touch
I guess it's just not part of the plan
But I'll make it through, I'll be alright Just stay home alone tonight
But my poor heart won't understand
Save
your breath and your dime, don't make that call
Cuz' my heart won't listen, won't listen at all
Don't tell my heart it's over
Cuz' my heart won't understand
I've got a stubborn heart
It's been proven again and again

Sorry For Nothing
Written by Amber Snider © 2002, Puddle

Sorry for the things
I said
Sorry for the things I did
Sorry for the way I am
Sorry for nothing
So I took a walk around
the world, wanted to see the other side
But I couldn't get far enough, couldn't find a place to hide
I guess I got a long, guess I got a long way to go
Until I reach my peace of mind
I guess I got a long road to travel on
And a lot of waves to ride.
Sorry for the things
I said
Sorry for the things I did
Sorry for the way I am
Sorry for nothing
I chased my illusions
like it were a drug
I chased my confusion, didn't care where I ended up
I guess I got a long, guess I got a long way to go
If I'm to reach my peace of mind
Guess I got a long road to travel on
And a lot of waves to ride.
Sorry for the things
I said
Sorry for the things I did
Sorry for the way I am
Sorry for nothing
I've made some mistakes,
what I had to do
So have you but I never meant to hurt you
And I fell on my face, thought I was cool
Like a fool, but I never meant to desert you.
Sorry for the things
I said
Sorry for the things I did
Sorry for the way I am
Sorry for nothing

Don't Say Love

I've found myself amongst the ashes
I've seen the others leave as time passes
Take my hand, I will never have what you will take from me
Please understand, close your eyes and maybe you will see
You will see
Lost and lonely, if only you were here
Carry something, something very near
Take my hand, I will never have what you will take from me
Please understand, close your eyes and maybe you will see
You will see
Don't say love, don't say me
Love is not for free
It's not for the weary, not for the faint of heart
It's not for me
Be still don't say a word
It's all been heard before
I will look into your eyes
They always say more
Take my hand, I will never have what you will take from me
Please understand, close your eyes and maybe you will see
You will see
Take my hand, I will never have what you will take from me

Where Does It End?

Can you tell me the last time we kissed?
Can you tell me the last time you weren't pissed?
Can you tell me the last time you looked in my eyes?
Can you tell me the last time you even tried?
Where does it end? Where does it end?
Where does it end? Where does it end?
You're always mad about this and that
Why can't we just learn to love each other?
Yeah love each other like normal people try to do, well…
Maybe it's me
Maybe I'm the one that takes things to hard
Yeah, I'm looking for a man that doesn't throw up his hands and
walk away
Every time he's been dealt the wrong card I know it's hard
Where does it end? Where does it end?
Where does it end? Where does it end?
You're always mad about this and that
Why can't we just learn to love, love, love, love each other
like normal people try to do
I forgot that we're not normal we have so much damage to
undo
Someone somewhere once said if you love somebody you should
let them go let them go so maybe we should just let it
go I mean
where does
it end anyway? Where does it end anyway? Where does it?
Where does it?
You're always mad about this and that. Why can't we just
learn to love, love, love, love each other each other
like normal
people try to do
maybe one day we'll be normal we have so much damage
to undo
Where does it end? Where does it end? Where does it
end? It ends here

Yesterday’s
Love
Words and Music by Amber Snider ©2005,
Puddle Siren Music Publishing, ASCAP
What happened to days gone passed?
Where people, not trucks they were built to last?
Holding hands in the sun there were good times for everyone
Like covered wagons bound together
The kind of love that lasts forever
You be the hunter I’ll be the gatherer or the other way around
it doesn’t really matter
We’ll share from the same platter
Sign
on the dotted line don’t you worry; don’t you worry.
You’ll get half of mine; half of mine
All through the days of histories tale when people stuck together through
heaven and hell
Their words had meaning vows weren’t misleading
A vision of trust sent from above not to be swept under a rug
Cast aside and fueled by lies everybody wants that money prize
Sign
on the dotted line don’t you worry; don’t you worry.
You’ll get half of mine; half of mine
Yesterday’s Love Yesterday’s Love Yesterday’s Love
Yesterday’s Love Yesterday’s Love
Yesterday’s Love was simple and strong today’s love’s
got too many things wrong
Everybody wants a quick fix and the quick fix leads to destruction
Destruction of love destruction of trust the sacred unity is a bust
Cast aside fuel by lies everybody wants that money prize
Nothing left to do nothing left to say just pack those bags and call
it a day
And sign, sign, sign, sign, sign away
Half of nothing is still nothing I’ve got half a mind to tell
you something.
You’ve got half a heart.
The other half is tearing us apart now
Yesterday’s love, Yesterday’s Love

These Times, These Days

I wake up in the morning but I don't wanna go
I have to go to work know it's what I'm suppose to do
But I would rather stay here and have fun with you
Just fooling around doing the crazy things that we do
Even in these times, when it can get so bad
These are still the best of times
The best times, the best times we ever had
I wake up in the morning clothes piled on the floor
I take a deep breath as I run for the door
Everything will be here when I return
I'm headed for the ocean there's something I forgot to learn
Even in these times, when it can get so bad
These are still the best of times
The best times, the best times we ever had
Mmmmmm. Mmmmmm. Yeah. Everyday is a good day, when we're together.
It's a good day make it last forever.

Harder

If you want me to stay
Then you better think about what you say
A little bit harder
I said if you want me to stay
Then you better listen to what I have to say
A little bit harder
A
little bit harder
If you don’t want me to go away
You’d better start kissing me another way
A little bit harder
A
little bit harder
Unless you show me that you love me
And that you always thinking of me
It’ll drive me farther, farther away
If you don’t want me to go away
You’d better start kissing me another way
A little bit harder
A
little bit harder
You’ve always been a tough man
And I’ve tried so hard to understand
But it’s driving me farther away
If you don’t want me to go away
You’d better start kissing me another way

The Other Side

Puddle Siren Music Publishing, ASCAP
Maybe I can build a boat and sail far away from here
Maybe I can jump a train and only pack a couple beers
Maybe I can stretch my face, erase a couple years
Maybe I can dig a hole and pop up on the other side
Maybe I can coil away in a basket where the cobras lay
I’ll only come out when I hear flutes play
Maybe I can stow away in a moving van go far away
I’ll be hiding out like cargo freight on the other side
Any
place would be better than the one I got, the one it’s not
If I could only get away from here, then I’d have no pain, I’d
have no fear
I can go anywhere, anytime in my mind
You could come along for the ride… yeah… to the other side.
I can join an excavation team dig for bones things unseen
Sort through and figure out what they mean
Or I can join a carnival and see the world from a tilt-a-whirl
Eat candy apples everyday. On the other side.
Any
place would be better than the one I got, the one it’s not

Fool’s
Gold
Words and Music by Amber Snider & Diana Wallis © 2008, Puddle
Siren Music Publishing, ASCAP
They came from Oklahoma in search of shiny gold
They mounted six fast horses
Their fortunes to unfold
In Virginia City the silver caught their eye
They stayed on through the winter and left with only five
They lost a man in Reno
Tucker was his name
He
bet and lost his only horse in a poker game
In the great Sierras Jedadiah found his bride
She was a native maiden and he became part of her tribe
Maybe
it’s the destination maybe it’s
the journey too
What if the journey you’re after is right in front of you?
Is right in front of you
The last three would be miners arrived at Barbary
Where lonely Argonauts sought female company
Drawing men to the fates like moths to a fire
Liquor lust and lawlessness fed their wild desires
The last thing they remember was the lovely Laura lee
Serving drinks and kisses to the fortune seeking three
They
woke the next morning Shanghai’d out to see
Sailing to a foreign land where gold would never be. Never be..
Maybe
it’s the destination maybe it’s the journey
too
What if the journey you’re after is right in front of you?
Is right in front of you
Maybe it’s the destination maybe it’s the journey too
What if the journey you’re after is right in front of you?

Should've Known Better
Words and music by Amber Snider ©2000, Puddle
Siren Music Publishing, ASCAP
Everyday I remind myself of what I believe
Or else my faith might escape me
All of the love in my heart has been locked away
And baby, you hold the key
I should've known better, I guess I never learn
I don't ever realize what I have until it's gone
Now It's taking all of the strength that I have…
Not to hold on.
I guess all along I've known it though I've tried hard to disown it
They were my own insecurities
But now I've come to realize after having said all of my goodbyes,
that you're they only one, that I'll ever need
Sweet memories there you go again sneaking up on me
like a long lost friend
I see your face everywhere but I can't find another like you anywhere
You're a ghost who keeps haunting me
I should've known better, I guess I never learn
I don't ever realize what I have until it's gone
Now it's taking all of the strength that I have…
Not to hold on. And try to move on.

Sweet Sensation

See the child in the sun, watch her crawl
Watch her run
See her smile ear to ear
Hesitation’s no where near
See the flower in the sun
Growing tall, smelled by everyone
See the thorns start to appear
As sweet sensations near
Evolution
revolution elevation revelation
Evolution revolution sweet sensation
See the boy hair undone picks the flower shows everyone
Takes her away somewhere far
Keeps her alive in his jar
Evolution
revolution elevation revelation
Evolution revolution sweet sensation
Another season passes by another gift from the sky
As we make way from seeds to grow and shelter them from the snow
Evolution
revolution elevation revelation
Evolution revolution sweet sensation
Evolution

Evolution revolution sweet sensation

Where My Buffalo Roam
Words by Amber Snider Music by Jef Madnik Copyright 2006,
Puddle Siren Music Publishing, ASCAP
People always yelling in my ear
Not always telling me things that I want to hear
The lady down the street she’s yelling at her kids
She says get in the house and stop snivelin’’
I walk down the street on my way to the store
People act like they’ve never seen a white girl
They roll up, like, five homies deep
Yell “hey white girl” then I hear the tires screech
Policeman they knock at my door saying
“ Good evening have you heard any loud noises before like gunshots?”
What, I say, no I haven’t heard nothing have a nice day What can I say its home, sweet home in the ghetto is where my buffalo
roam
What can I say its home, sweet home in the ghetto is where my buffalo
roam
What’s
with the cars the cars that go boom?
It’s like three in the morning not the afternoon.
The bass is shaking every window on the block
The car speakers suck, I can’t hear myself talk
Since when are kids so damn mean?
They walk down the street yellin’ thing obscene
For no reason at all they kick over the trash
It’s not like it was directly in their path.
Sometimes they hangout by the tree
Slinging rocks? I don’t know. Drinking Old E?
I say “what’s up”, ya know, try to act cool then I
end up looking like a fool
What can I say its home, sweet home in the ghetto is where my buffalo
roam
What can I say its home, sweet home in the ghetto is where my buffalo
roam
If only we could all just get along accept our differences, time to
move on
Act with honor, respect and love; eliminate hate it’s time to rise
above
Graffiti wars on the wall people want to rise up they want to stand
tall
But they go about it in all the wrong ways and then it stays there for
days and days
The city decides it needs a fresh coat of paint
When I see the man painting I applaud like he’s a saint I yell
thank you at which point he laughs
Then I cross the street stepping over the trash
What can I say its home, sweet home in the ghetto is where my buffalo
roam
What can I say its home, sweet home in the ghetto is where my buffalo
roam
In the ghetto is where my buffalo roam

Eureka
Words and Music by Amber Snider Copyright 2010, Puddle
Siren Music Publishing, ASCAP
In the midst of change I rearranged the items I held in my purse
We found a reason we could say, well, it could be much worse
And the truth is that we’re getting older and least likely to meltdown
The engine may have blew a gasket but our feet are still on solid ground
We came here to refresh our spirits, we heard these trees pump out good
air
We slept in a cabin with pristine showers and the rest, well, I just
don’t care
It doesn’t matter who’s fault it was. No one ever wins that
game
The point is that we’re keeping cool and the result will remain
the same
Eureka we found it, all fingers point straight to the sky
There’s no way around it, we’re keeping our heads held
high
We walk down the street past all the shops and I play the plastic flute
I bought
It doesn’t matter that I can’t play. “It makes me look
sane” is what you say.
Looks like we’re stuck and we’re kinda far – at least
we can play guitar
And we have the food we bought last night, it’s good right down
to the last bite.
Looks

Eureka we found it, all fingers point straight to the sky
There’s no way around it, we’re keeping our heads held high
The
hotel room smells like cigarettes and these cockroaches don’t
make good pets
There are all kinds of stains on the floor and they forgot to put locks
on our door
We light incense so that we can breath I think it’s time for us
to leave
There’s gotta be a reason we landed here it’s something that
we must believe
Eureka we found it, all fingers point straight to the sky
There’s no way around it, we’re keeping our heads held high

I stand, I’ve been there
two long
Make no mistake there’s been plenty wrong
I have waged wars and set off alarms
Make no mistake I have done my harm
There’s
more than two sides to every story
The one’s we make up and the one that is
There’s more than two sides to every story
Good thing to know in a dream like this
It’s time to wake up, I’ve
been in a daze
I keep searching for the map of this maze
What if we pulled back to a bird’s eye view?
Would I look like me would you still look like you?
There’s
more than two sides to every story
The one’s we make up and the one that is
There’s more than two sides to every story
Good thing to know in a dream like this I’ve
seen tomorrow start from today
I’ve seen white light start from gray
I’ve stood my ground and I’ve walked away
I’ve pointed my finger and I’ve taken the blame

The boat was sinking and going fast
I was crawling on broken glass
Trying to find my way to the edge
Where I could jump in the water instead
Oh where or where does this rainbow end?
And will the colors wash out when it rains again?
Is it cold on the other side?
Will my butterflies be frozen inside?
Way
up north where there’s ice and snow
There lived a country man by the name of Joe
He lost his kids and his wife
Then by a rope he lost his life
Oh
where or where does this rainbow end?
And will the colors wash out when it rains again?
Is it cold on the other side?
Will my butterflies be frozen inside?
What will you do when your well runs dry
Would you fight like hell just to stay alive
What will you do when your crop runs out?
Will you start a war to figure it out?
Oh where or where does this rainbow end?
And will the colors wash out when it rains again?
Is it cold on the other side?

I want to hear something to put me in a better mood
I don’t want to hear another sad, love song
I don’t want to hear about all the things that have gone wrong. Gone
Wrong.
Oh, brave beautiful soul
Don’t forget that you are perfect and whole
Just let your light shine and the world will reveal
Your path opens up over the hill.
Johnny came home from the war scarred for life
He said I just want to settle down and find a beautiful wife
Buy a big house paid for by Uncle Sam
It's the least they can do for me as messed up as I am
Oh, brave beautiful soul
Don’t forget that you are perfect and whole
Just let your light shine and the world will reveal
Your path opens up over the hill.

He bravely took her hand and said what will I do?
Will I have to live with dad I’d rather live with you.
Live with you.

Don’t forget that you are perfect and whole
Just let your light shine and the world will reveal
