Make It Out Alive Track number: 1 Year: 2010 Album: The Bivs Demo Genre: Alternative

This city’s crumblin’ around me. It’s getting harder to see. Feels like I’m runnin’ on empty, but the struggle’s just begun. I can see a new tide is rising. No need for running or hiding to a place beyond the horizon with a mirage of what’s to come. You could’ve come back for me but you left me for dead. Livin’ in a ghost town has been holdin’ me down, holdin’ me down, holdin’. Gotta weather the storm for what lies ahead, or I’ll be trapped inside this town. People fleeing the streets out of fear. Any sign of life disappears. Losing light as dusk draws near, and I’m running out of time. Light a torch cuz darkness surrounds me, with unfamiliar faces around me. I let em loose and somehow they found me, and they’re tryin’ to bring me down. You could’ve come back for me but you left me for dead. Livin’ in a ghost town has been holdin’ me down, holdin’ me down. Gotta weather the storm for what lies ahead, or I’ll be trapped inside this town. I don’t want it. I don’t need it. You can’t see it. I can’t free it. I don’t want it. I don’t need it. You can’t see it. I can’t free it. You could’ve come back for me but you left me for dead. Livin’ in a ghost town has been holdin’ me down, holdin’ me down. Gotta weather the storm for what lies ahead, or I’ll be trapped inside this town. Yeah. Music by Michael Biviano.

Relapse Track number: 2 Year: 2010 Album: The Bivs Demo Genre: Alternative

Things don’t seem to change, they just intensify. All of what’s been locked to safe, and tried to deny, comes to resurface before my own eyes. That which I’ve tried to forget, has been revived. All this wasted time becomes time elapsed, til I relapse from the present into the past. Can a new beginning bring about an old end? A remedy for a weathered soul trying to mend. Will I foresee the end of all this strife I relive in my mind? No, an eye for an eye leaves us all blind. All this wasted time becomes time elapsed, til I relapse from the present into the past. I just want to be by myself, but not alone. Not in search of what I’ll find, but what I’ve come to know. All this wasted time becomes time elapsed, no, til I relapse from the present into the past. Music by Philip Biviano. Lyrics by Philip Biviano.

Blood Is Thicker Than Water Track number: 3 Year: 2010 Album: The Bivs Demo Genre: Alternative

Keep me outta these bars that bind. Leave these feelings I have behind. I don’t know what you’re looking to find. Maybe a way to make up for lost time. You’re always lookin’ for something in return. Willing to take but not willing to earn. On the right path before you took a wrong turn. The older you get the more you’ve got to learn. What you did to me I don’t think you will ever know. They think I need em but I really want to let em go. It’s hard to tell whether you were a friend or were a foe. Guess it depends on which face you decide to show. My blood is thicker than water. I’m fighting in a war you think is a game. You know my blood is thicker than water. Cuz only through my bleeding I feel no pain. You’re not willing to own up to your mistakes. You think you’d change for your own sake. You’re livin’ in a dream while I’m wide awake. In the fast lane with no foot on the brake. What you did to me I don’t think you will ever know. They think I need em but I really want to let em go. It’s hard to tell whether you were a friend or were a foe. Guess it depends on which face you decide to show. My blood is thicker than water. I’m fighting in a war you think is a game. You know my blood is thicker than water. Cuz only through my bleeding I feel no pain. What you did to me I don’t think you will ever know. They think I need em but I really want to let em go. It’s hard to tell whether you were a friend or were a foe. Guess it depends on which face you decide to show. My blood is thicker than water. I’m fighting in a war you think is a game. You know my blood is thicker than water. Cuz only through my bleeding I feel no pain. You know my blood is thicker than water. You know my blood is thicker than water. You know my blood is thicker than water. You know my blood is thicker than water. Music by Michael Biviano and Philip Biviano. Lyrics by Michael Biviano and Philip Biviano.
