*Now not alone, this is our home A path to stroll, there's a long way to go I know we can make it all we've got to do is try You can sink or swim you can fall or you can climb I don't really know where to go and i'm not quite sure just what I know Every stage presents and a show and every arrow is shot from it's bow manic depression anxiety its stabs my head like a hook into meat my blood runs red and the feeling is cold when you're constantly sick of things that you're told * I don't really know where to go and i'm not quite sure just what I know you could really stand for something and be approved or the other side could hate you I guess it's true You can't please everybody or make everyone you're friend you could try and see it they're way and that may be the end if you're never fitting in then you're never fitting in lend the other side your idea's and fate make a decision * This is the moment, the time is now! x4 *

Dumpstar 03:48
Dumpstar I've lost count of all my sheep Don't think I'll fall back to sleep Everything tastes bitter sweet Can't decide now what to eat MSG preservatives Xanthan gum and additives Make my meals and they are cheap from the alley dumpster off the street Whoa oh, we found a way to eat for free Whoa oh, the smell it use to bother me Whoa oh, just wipe it off it will be fine Whoa oh, this meal didn't cost a dime The waste we create is making me sick a lot of what we use ends up in a pit so much consumed when fresh produce is thrown away the man on the corner shouldn't be begging for change but it happens don't you see it going on flaws in our system ROT ENTHUSIASM'S soiled and stained with a hubris grin my appetite is growing i'm about to jump in * Who knew? we'd be so lucky to go Ok, We'll take this home it is our way Seize the day out on the prowl Expiry date? Show me how Jettison I would think for some No problem here I'll grab us one * Who knew? we'd be so lucky to go Ok, We'll take this home it is our way

Animals 03:18
Animals I've thought it through and there's no way around it A river's bend, a fork in the road, and Some say they foreshadow it but they will never know Only when that point is reached and then it's told A tale of woe, of fear and of heartache A channel of sorrow floating here When it sinks in you cannot move, you thought you drown You'll wish you dove Unanswered questions stream through silent tears *Do animals dream at night like we do in hopes that they grow old Or live these moments waiting for their next meal the time will pass so slow Whoah oh oh There's a boy here who's emotions are fear You wouldn't know when you look in his eyes But it goes without say first impressions will change Achievements are made in so many ways The claws of love have torn up his insides. * I've thought it through and the only way around it's to look ahead and stay on the move When crashing down means breaking things cuz there's nothing left to do Assemble all the pieces into truth. *
4.
We Stay Friends *How can we stay friends with our distant plans? I should just keep this together And I am not to blame, we could stay the same If time had stopped the earth revolving And it's been a while, I can hardly smile Until I think of you and I put on my shoes And I start running towards you And then I start running towards you So now I'm here to say that I'll be going away and I'll spare no expense to get there Because we've worked for this a chance not to miss what it takes to reach your potential And now you're looking at me, as if it's come in between Don't you fear my dear soon it will be so clear We've been through this before the distance won't keep us apart. I should hope to get out of this soon you know (Andrew Kid) I didn't plan this It's not all of my fault I should hope to get out of this soon you know What do ya know? The forest is facing my back and it's calling my name (We will survive) The air is so cold it's so clear it's what's keeping me sane (We will survive) When I return to the city it's never the same (We will survive) Walking these streets I hope to return again We wiiiiilllllllllllll! *

Calamity 03:03
*There's a Calamity amongst you and me An impulse of distance to deep I wish it was something we could see It's far to long I'll become aware when we're down the road. New faces I see, they ask my story and I keep it brief We make mention of what happened overseas Mutually agreed, its such a tragedy **And there are those who must have wept And not knowing they continue un-slept I saw the images of what is still kept Now I believe I'm a spot or spec of uncertainty * It makes me feel Ok, A substance sold all over the place. I chose to buy it but it's usually free They hand it out at shows and party's It's turned me inside out, I see my guts and what i've ate's on the ground We spent the night and I thought I had drowned And 4 days follow of rebuilding what could of been yours * Maybe if you and I could just see what it would take to make this be or if my vulnerability could mitigate a response from severity I've got a melody that's inside my head It's got a rhythm and it's been tested Heard it before it keeps me interested It flows out somehow completely unpredicted. ** *

Skate Ska 03:11
Ripping down the street one night just thinking up this song My feet and my board connect as I Roll along And that's not the only thing that i've got going on! I haven't had the down time to hang out with my friends. I'm working through each day and it never seems to end. The money that I make is losing value in my head, Weekend nights alone, well there's worse things than death. This is just a test, this is just to test yourself. Opportunity awaits to those who see it! It's been a year right now I haven't finished what I started I'm making lists to follow through the things I'v always wanted I've taken notes and wrote them down, this I have composed Notions in my head become something I CAN'T CONTROL It's come to my attention bad luck arrives in threes. Take it with a sour face or pass it to the breeze It doesn't matter now, what you must decide The direction you must follow, splits by a great divide. This is just a test, this is just to test yourself x3 Opportunity awaits to those who see it. Rolling Forward Pushing Faster Jumping HIgher This freedom is worth it

Boxes 02:10
Wake in the morning everyday is the same Spiritless, Unhappy, but I go anyway Part time employment to earn what I need Told what to do, what to lift where to be *Hey Man! Can I take my break now? No, you've gotta move those Boxes! Disagreement is pointless I'm a slave to my wage Hanging on by a string, don't you ever be late! And I know I'll keep working there's know way out of this I'll work right till closing and I'll work right to death! * * I take the money that I earn and buy a bottle of booze I've got 8 fucking bosses telling me what to do Drink to forget about work, and this last work week Once again I'll be in Monday thinking of Friday Once again I'll be in Monday thinking of Friday Boxes, boxes, boxes, boxes, boxes fuck you!

It’s hard to compete when my self-esteem has got me sinking down and down and down and down Everything I ever do is never good enough, everything I ever write is never smart enough, every song I ever sing is never good enough and every friend I ever meet I’m never nice enough But all you can do is learn a song and learn to stomp and strum along and hope and hope and hope and hope That everything I ever do is gonna get better, every book I ever read I’m gonna get smarter, every song I ever sing I’ll get a little better and every friend I ever meet I’ll get a little nicer *and you are doing better than you know, and I should keep that in mind, every time I try and try and try, It only gets better. You know it’s hard to say I just have this sense of something it’s behind everything it is what we have to do so our voice will be heard there are so many thing in this world so many things that need to be changed. So many things are wrong you can make your voice heard you can stand up for yourself you can speak out on things people are going to listen people are going to hear you, you can effect change. *and you are doing better than you know, and I should keep that in mind, every time I try and try and try, It only gets better.

Chorus* Lately, I just want to burn this city And all the small towns that surround it All the people in the buildings All the women and the children All boss's in their office All the workers on their day off I won't quit till I'm finished 'Till the sky is covered in ashes.
10.
I've kept my head clear for three days only It fell apart because it's so damn lonely I wash my dish and then bike downtown Hoping to see you around Weaving through the traffic and people the other bikers don't match my speed though the destination is distant and far And I often wonder where you are. *Low and Behold i'm fine Because there's something here that's keeping me alive low and behold it's true I still don't know just what I'm going to do I move for hours and meet my chore the man swears he has heard of us before He fakes politeness while on the job then I chug some water and I turn back home The city stretches for so damn long now So many people with dreams whom have hope how making money will move them along, god it's true, it can move you along. *
