Backstory:

I fell in love with Kelly Clarkson's 2nd CD 'Breakaway' and wanted to try to write a song in her style.  After carefully examining structure, rhymes, etc. on one particular song, I wrote 'No Redemption' (a title that I had in my hook book for awhile).  I brought the first draft to a writing session with my good pal Aeriel Stiles and, after tweaking the lyrics together, we realized that the song was possibly a bit too edgy for Kelly and felt more like it was in the style of my all-time favorite female rock due, HEART.  The aweseom production of Aeriel's combined with the wonderful Shelley Jacobson' vocals made it ROCK OUT!  Hope you enjoy it!

Lyrics:

                                                  
NO REDEMPTION
(c)  Lisa L. Medill/Aeriel Stiles

YOU SHOT WORDS LIKE BULLETS TODAY	       	
I WAS WOUNDED ON THE GROUND			
WITH NO REGRETS YOU TURNED AROUND AND LEFT	
I'M THROUGH WASTING TIME ON YOU			
TO TAKE THE BLAME, FEEL THE SHAME	 	
YOU’LL NEVER CHANGE AND CAN’T PAY BACK YOUR DEBT 	
		
(CHORUS)
NO REDEMPTION	
THERE'S NO ROOM FOR FORGIVENESS	
NO EXEMPTION 
I SWEAR WITH GOD AS MY WITNESS 
DON'T LOOK SO SHOCKED AT WHAT I'M SAYIN'	
THIS TIME BABY I AIN'T PLAYIN'
FACE THE MIRROR, MEET THE MAKER OF YOUR PROBLEMS
‘CAUSE THERE’S NO REDEMPTION 	

NOW I’VE CROSSED THAT BLACK LINE YOU’VE DRAWN 
YOU DON’T HAVE A SINGLE HOPE
THE CROWN OF THORNS I’VE WORN IS NOW ON YOU
YOU CAN GET DOWN ON YOUR KNEES			
PRAY TO GOD, MOAN AND SOB			
BUT YOUR FAÇADE IS SOMETHING I SEE THROUGH	

(CHORUS)

(BRIDGE)
YOU’VE FALLEN SO FAR FROM GRACE
I’M STILL THE LAST ONE STANDING WITH A SMILE ON MY FACE

(INSTRUMENTAL)

NO REDEMPTION, NO REDEMPTION

(CHORUS)
