There were very many songs written by 12º Split and members over its eight year existence. Who could remember all of those lyrics? It may be too great of a task to try and recall them all. Here are the lyrics for tunes on "Degrees of Separation."

*Was It Yesterday*

Is there no reason, for you, to feel this way? Unlikely pleasin', or all I forgot to say. Is there no reason, for me to act this way? Was time the reason, that I have to say, don't go away.

Explanations all run dry, much too wrong to jut pass by. I need the answers tell me why, I can no longer breathe.

Was it yesterday, that you, you came to me, to find the answers, to why, I can't believe. And then from the dark room, I, would set you free, to find furthermore with or without me, don't go astray.

Explanations all run dry, much too wrong to jut pass by. I need the answers tell me why, I can no longer breathe.

*Four Leaf Clover*

As time grows older I know everything about you can't shake my shoulder. It's only skin deep I know everything about this it's in my sleep.

But it it rambles on, I know everything about this I can't be wrong. Is the time here, I know nothing about this all I know is fear.

Well you left me here drivin' down a road I can't feel to steer. I see the lightning strikes, as I pull off the road to watch my worlds collide. It's just the same old song, every single day just a chip off my bone. Is the time here, I know nothing about this my minds not clear...

My four leaf clover, come on over. Just watch me lower, this time it's over. I know everything about you my four leaf clover.

Well I've walked around it, what you want me to be. And I see through it, I'm so lucky. I've walked beside of it, this shadow never leaves me. And I'm F@#$%! tired of it. Give me back to me...

*Forever And A Day*

The faces of Autumn new, the landslide that I thought was through. Hey I thought it was through.

Our young lives are still so new. The skin hides what grows in you. And you've lost me too.

But I don't wanna see your face as you become erased. I wanna dance in the sun, but only this one. Time was forever and now it's past. Return to your maker and hope it lasts...forever and a day.

The pictures, I look back at you. The faces seem so lost in gloom. Hey what's wrong with you?

If I could only find a place for my soul to be safe. Hey I would jump the gun to be the one to close your eyes as you fall asleep. I'll pray to the heavens that your mine to keep...forever and a day.

He never wanted me with you. That's why he planted his seed of bloom. He never wanted me with you. God never wanted me with you.

*Scent O' Fish*

Goin' to the river what might I find? Goin' to the water, you were left behind. Lookin' in the water what do I see? It's just my own reflection lookin back at me.

Wading in the water how can it be? I've got a funny feeling won't be so lucky. Castin' out my line I've got a different plan. I'm gonna jump into it, gonna be a man.

Goin' to the river what might I find? Goin' to the water, you were left behind. Lookin' in the water what do I see? It's just my own reflection lookin' back at me.

Now I've got you reelin', reelin' on my line.  I'm gonna pull you in yeah.  I'll do you up just fine! Oh no, will you release me?  I'm gonna get me way.  Oh no, will you freeze me?  I'll eat you up today.

*When I Run Away*

And when I run away, I promise not to let my feelings bleed through. How come every time I look at you, you can never smile? And what is the point of saying sorry when you don't even care? I cannot say, what it is that makes me hate you so.

When I run way I'll do all the things I never wanted to do. When I run way I'll do all the things I never wanted to try. When I run way I'll do all the things I never wanted to do. And when I run away, I'll say...

F@#$% you! My life means much more to me. F@#$% you! You haven't got a clue to what I see. Remain, I will stay the same, I won't ever change no matter how hard I try...

*Cast Away*

When I see your face...When I see your face I see the children's laughing warm embrace, drying salt filled tears from my eyes. I try to relate but there is just one thing I can't ignore, the glaring of your dry blue eyes.

But I can feel their laughter and I can taste their tears. What becomes of hereafter, let's cat away our fears.

Are you all alone, are you all alone? 'Cause I'm all alone...

When you see my face...When you see my face do you see the life I have to take giving it all to you. Choices I might make they may not be the right things for me. That's just a chance I have to take.

But I can feel their laughter and I can taste their tears. What becomes of hereafter, let's cat away our fears.

You cast away. One one time today.

*Life Like Anyone*

He knows, his life's like everyone's, stumbling through with what he had and what he once knew. She knows, she could have anyone but she settles with what she had and what she once knew. Yes and that's all she had...

Always wanting more, she wanted more than I could have hope to ask for. Gonna live me life for me and only me. No one to answer for. And that's all she had.

My broken wings can't take me any further. My will to fly is gone, it's gone. It's gone forever.

*Defiance*

Fire hard, fire at will, can't conceal cannot hide the pain of knowing who I am and where we both come from. Gotta break, break these chains that restrain me keep me from myself. I will change. I will not be like you.

Dig! For such a long time I tried to express how I feel but reality was much too real. It's time to start bein' myself, seeing myself, it's time to start bustin' caps and freein' myself.

Gotta do, gotta do what's right. Gotta feel good about myself, in order to be a complete man. Gotta do, gotta do what's right. Gotta feel good about myself, I swear, I'll do the best I can. Oh, yeah!

Knock me down I'll get up again. I will defend the truth that holds true. I will change. I will not be the same way. And in the end the world will be a friend. And all the people will not live in turmoil, less the lord decides to end the conflict.

*Back Stabbing Bastard*

You try so hard to fit in. It's not a game you can win. And time will reveal your show, you backstabbing bastard, way to go!

And when you see them, all around the town, take their face and shove it in the mother F@#$% crowd. And when you see them all around the town, you'll ask why?

(Why) Does this have to kick so much ass?

I say you're not my friend. Stay on the porch 'til the very end. And don't turn to me to see what I see 'cause you'll find out there is nothing there. My dogs are hungry again and they don't want another piece of you. My dogs are hungry again and they don't want another piece of you.

And when you see them, all around the town, take their face and shove it in the mother F@#$% crowd. And when you see them all around the town, you'll ask why?

*Just Walk Away*

If I should ever die, I don't won't you to cry, just turn and walk away. If ever you should die, I'll leave with me eyes dry, we'll meet again someday.

On the fine line of space and time I've arrived in this state of mind in which I am. You and me here we'll always stay and the love we have it won't fade away I know.

If I should ever die, I don't won't you to cry, just turn and walk away. If ever you should die, I'll leave with me eyes dry, we'll meet again someday.

Not even death could tear us apart. I love you with every piece of my heart I know. I know you'd say the same for me so together we'll be for eternity...I know.

If I should ever die, I don't won't you to cry, just turn and walk away. If ever you should die, I'll leave with me eyes dry, we'll meet again someday.
