Order of Things A.D. 
 (01) Em (top) © 1997 Jared Jasper Got a picture in my pocket Last song in my head And I’ll love her forever Or until were dead I’ll drown in our world Yeah, you thrown me an anchor, and then Guess I’ll feel sorry for myself Too bad I couldn’t change her, no Me, I’m fine For you, I cry (02) All You’ve Got (top) © 2005 Jared Jasper I don’t mind getting knocked around Seems like that is all I do Nothing like looking up when you’re down When you don’t have much to prove I don’t worry ‘bout the things I wear I don’t care if I’m running out of time I don’t mind being labeled a downer Cause there’s one thing that lifts me up There ain’t no magic in a bottle I’m disenchanted with that stuff Pills don’t really do much for me Make more symptoms I’ve had enough *When something isn’t working Why not try something new? You should be listening That’s all you got to do When all you’ve got is empty promises And a handful of broken dreams You try to piece together a puzzle But nothing is what it seems Kinda always done what I wanted That never got me anywhere * Oh, Lord, you’re all I’ve got (03) Cause I (top) © 2004 Jared Jasper All the miles in between Aren’t as far as they might seem Cause I love you Oh, how I love you You’re one lost sheep on your own By yourself but not alone Cause I love you Oh, how I love you No matter how far you roam I’ll be there to carry you home Cause I love you Oh, how I love you Hush now don’t you cry I’ll wipe the teardrops from your eyes Cause I love you Always, I love you (04) Highway (top) © 1997, 2005 Jared Jasper The highway burns a shade of a distant orange She’s headed west, seems like she’s been here before All the lines on the road become a blur She drifts away to a place far away A white house high upon a hill With a picket fence and shutters on the windows The smell of a warm home cooked meal Sitting on the porch swing swaying in the breeze *Oh, Lord Oh, silence Oh, sunshine Oh, life The sound of gravel flies, she opens her eyes Thankful nothing was coming her way Blinded by a setting sun She grips the wheel, swerves to the right From shoulder to shoulder she looses control Flips from side to side rests at a utility pole As the dust clears she unclicks her belt Falls on the broken glass crawls out the window * (05) Just One More (top) ©2005 Jared Jasper Just one more hospital stay Might be enough to tear me away Detachment it seems Is my only esteem I am sick of holding on Then getting pushed down I’m tired of all the stuff I think I’ve had enough *Give me just one more, Note to fill my chord Give me just one more, Song to sing Give me just one more, Ounce of strength Give me just one more, Child to be saved They never even heard a word That came from my lips I don’t think with my blood Why would they say I do? It’s just one more way To point a finger of blame They don’t even know my name I guess that we are all the same * Why must I concede? These drugs are killing me Soon they will leave me alone And I will find my way home But they don’t know what that means So they’ll call it disease This world is not my love My treasure lies above * (06) Little Mary (top) © 1997, 2005 Jared Jasper Little Mary’s safe in bed As I touch my hand to head And to me she is my girl And to her I am her world *Little Mary’s hair is roses As I touch my hand to head All the picture perfect poses Are all the memories that I have left Ring around the rosie Pocket full of posies Twinkle, twinkle, send in the clowns Ashes, sweet ashes, we all fall down * Small her table, seats just three Cup of tea, Little Mary, and me Stuffed animals and silly dolls Cut out house with cardboard walls * An empty seat, an extra plate Little things left in the wake Another birthday, her first dance My baby girl never had her chance (07) Naughty Girl (top) ©2001, 2005 Jared Jasper I can’t control what has been done Things that happened before now It is kinda strange how This old world can bring you down We both know you’ve seen better days Struggling to find your way All those things have come and gone Burning scars, what went on? *Naughty girl, feel no shame Flaming peach, not to blame Naughty girl, feel no shame Even so you’re not to blame Do you enjoy your agony? You say that pain brings you relief It’s just a clutch, why hold on? Don’t push me away, I’ve done you no wrong I see so much hiding in you A shadow, a face, even the truth The booze, the drugs, they don’t love you But that would leave you with nothing to do * When I first looked in your eyes I wish that moment would never die I got this thing burning in me Of how I wanted things to be You are the most beautiful thing I think that I have ever seen If you promise you’ll treat me well I ‘ll be the best thing that happened to you (08) Order of Things (top) ©2005 Jared Jasper Hey my friend, how are you today? It’s been a long time since I have seen your face What have you been doing? And how have you been? Oh, I’m sorry to hear that, she was almost kin Come on man, you’ve gotta hang in there It’s no walk in the park but I’ll be here for you *Everyday, everyday, everyday I lose control Everyday, everyday, everyday I gain a little bit more I can’t imagine, pretend to fill your shoes What’s there to live for when you ain’t got nothing to lose? Nothing seems to matter even how hard you try These days aren’t worth living, the end must be in sight Your heart must be vacant from the numbness of the pain Cramps from the nausea, and the teardrops fall like rain * It’s hard to believe that there’s an order to these things She was close to something, I wish you knew the joy it brings Remember every Sunday, how she begged you to go But week after week, you never ever showed Those days she spent waiting, praying for you to come She will rest in peace cause, he has made her a home * Everyday, everyday, everyday she lost control Everyday, everyday, everyday she gained a little bit more We can’t understand it’s according to his will Pray with me my friend, live for something real Praise you Lord Jesus, come into my heart I know you died for my sin, give me a brand new start I don’t know why you took her, she’s better off with you Now light my way Lord show me what to do *Everyday, everyday, everyday I’ll lose control Everyday, everyday, everyday I’ll gain a little bit more (09) Your Sympathy (top) ©2005 Jared Jasper (improvisation) (10) Smokin’ (top) ©2005 Jared Jasper Long have I been smokin’ I just need something to hold on to, yeah I cannot let go Even though it’s not quite right Long have I been smokin’ Just cannot let go The warmth moves right through me Even though it leaves me tired and dizzy I just cannot quit smokin’ Lord, help me put down my ashes Here’s a dare I took to myself *Hold the butt and smoke the cherry That kinda stuff isn’t sadistic It’s just plain scary When my lips are burnt And my tongue is scalded by the fire Will I still desire? I’m still smokin’ Will this be my last confession? Can I let go? I don’t have the strength within me Oh Lord, let it go I need some help here I’m to weak, yeah I need some guidance Some !@%!@ in my life Many have put down their packs And moved on but why can’t I Here’s something I dared myself * I’m still smokin’ My cigarettes I’m still smokin’ I have so many regrets Cause of my cigarettes I’m still smokin’ I can’t let go (11) To Die For (top) ©2005 Jared Jasper Well you’ve had you time And now I’m moving on I’ve got something so much better You could not touch him cause His strength comes from above Ah yeah *Don’t tempt me Don’t trouble me I will be looking for you Don’t tempt me Don’t trouble me No more . . . no more **To die for That is Him To die for me Long have I been ensnared Freedom come just one way Through the blood I am saved There is nothing that can tear me away * ** (Romans 8:38,39) * ** (12) Wonderful (top) ©2005 Jared Jasper How is it there is no Beauty in his face That no one would desire To look upon him? Through his eyes how Many looked away? It is miraculous To see through it all, to know him And we sing *Wonderful, to make us free Wonderful, just wait and see Wonderful, he shall be called Wonderful, for one and all Oh, man of sorrows, Despised and rejected How grief knows your name Even so you came Many heard your words Many more turned away But ears they will ring Lips confess your name And we sing * So is this my load? Hello my burden He guides me through He gives me strength But with all I know I am still learning I cannot count The splinters in his back, for me And I sing * (13) Baby Doll (top) ©2005 Jared Jasper Little girl, there’s one thing she has dear A baby doll she holds on to I’d give anything to know a love like that All the memories how they take you back I’ve been waiting A lifetime for you to come But the news I am hearing It’s just a while before you fall *Baby doll You did no wrong Baby doll They did you so wrong Many years separated Stripped away you innocence Beaten for his consequence Every man wants to be your hero They take away your inspiration The delicacy of your potential You beat yourself up for what I cannot know But I love you so * You lay torn and bleeding In a bed that is not your own Stranded in this prison Hundreds of miles from your home * (14) Vengeance (top) ©2005 Jared Jasper They say that I am crazy Cause I am zealous for the Lord They say that Christ is a symptom of a disease They say that it is wrong Jesus became part of my thought process When I say that he is in this very room They look at me like I am crazy When I say that Christ is the light They say that Christ is a chicken Is Christ a chicken? Is the Lord a disease? Vengeance is not mine… (15) Farkle Pocket (top) ©2005 Jared Jasper Just pretend Like nothing did go wrong, and then Hold your tongue So you don’t say something wrong and Just fit in For the sake of normality, I Don’t know why I can’t just be myself *I am one of a kind I’ve got my own mind It’s the way I was made I both sparkle and fade Rubber and glue Bounce back I’m stuck on you, can’t Hold me down Wasn’t meant to stay on the ground Can’t go out There’s too many people around Heart attack Why do I always look back? * Stay in bed It’s not easy to arise Hang my head Can’t bear to see your eyes Push my way To get through one more day Can’t go on Everything I do is wrong * What is control? An illusion without soul Stability Objectionable I see, it’s Breaking chains But you’re still left in a hole I’m not sad This feels so good to me * (16) Float Away (top) ©2005 Jared Jasper and Stephen Jasper Let the water run Call me on the phone Just say it What I want to hear I love you so I’ve gotta know I’m gonna swim Face down, goodbye *Float away… Let me float, let me float, let me float away **I’ll love you if I can I run away I’ll love you if I can I run away Run to her house Waterfall down the stairs Everlong she said Elenor is dead All I ever wanted Pull her by her hair Her lips are blue Eyes back in her head * ** Seal Seven | News | Discography | Lyrics | Bios | MySpace | E-mail |
