- Breakin's A Memory
Oh no.
You're getting ready for your next show.
Rat bones to earth tones, concrete to cobblestones.
Here we go. Here we go.
There you went.
Sit back and change up the way you conceive your ideals.
Give in and give up how can someone vainly seem so real?
Fuck your fashion show, fake poetic prose, and everything in between.
- Heart a Tact
Crashing down on consensus. It's the vice that kills defenses. Piercing through sort of feeling. It only hurts if I let it take control of me. Won't let the world weigh me down. Cause I'm coming alive. What's the deal with life lessons? If you can't forget regret them. Taught to fold under pressure. Failure doesn't mean you have to die. Won't let the world weigh me down. Cause I'm coming alive. Just how many are there on my side. A calendar filled up with sleepless nights. Keeps time. Afraid of what it may have left behind. Who cares? I've thought about it all too many times. What's worse? Is that my self-esteem suffers a curse. That tries to kill me but I kill it first. I'm coming alive, alive through you. Today I found a friend in who I am. Who promises to be there 'till the end, of what? When it's over will it start again? Can't worry about it or life becomes too crowded. With panic. I'll panic and then I'll start to doubt it, it's not worth it. So fuck it. Not gonna walk around it. I'll face it. I'll smash it. I'm not gonna lose again. I'm coming alive through you.
- Never Met The Gooch
When the music went away, with all that I've conceived the sun goes down and smiles start to fade. Another Tuesday and I smell the leaves, they're dying in my city. Inspirations lost in sirens. It's not easy to live when motivation keeps on dying. The street lights are far from glistening and I'm at my window listening through the silence just to hear your voice, but I'm distracted by the outside noise I can't think of your eyes without wondering how you live your life. When my song begins to play I'm thinking everything's gonna be ok until the smiles start to fade. In the beginning. I never got what I wanted because I never tried. I guess some things never change. Rejection seems real enough that it scares me away. The notes are barely audible and the melody seems kinda dull. I wouldn't know it if it slapped me in the face, I need some help putting this one in its place. I can't think of your voice without wondering how you sing your song. The orange night keeps me aware of how I've loved and how I've hated. But hate's remembered long after love's forgotten. I want to forget. Yet, I want to remember.
- Rufus Wants A Hug
We're part of a profit plan.
We're all caught up in a scam
To make companies money
To bite the feeding hand.
I know that I'm not perfect.
I never said I was the best.
If I support the product

Where do you get off wanting the royal treatment? Who put you on your pedestal? I'll tell you who, the kids did! They created you, and how do you repay them? With your snotty looks and your catchy hooks and your rock star image. They created you, and how do you repay them? With some words of truth to guide them trough your mind manipulation. But when the time comes to back up what you say, will you run away? I'd bet all I had on it. That's what I said, I'd bet it all. We're all singing along to the same tune just like you. Big deal, you wrote it, but you don't promote it. YOU DON'T PROMOTE IT! It may sound cliche. I don't care. I've seen the way you cheat at all the games you play. Misuse trust to get what you want it's so easy to believe you. Cause you're in a band with a mic in your hand and everybody wants to be you. Well I won't try to. because I don't want to. When the time comes to back up what I say. I won't run away. Run away from you, run away from this, Because it means more to me. We're all singing along to the same tune, just like you. Big deal, we wrote it....Now it's time to promote it. Remember, we're all in this together. I gotta know! What could it be that makes you unhappy? Is it the world that you see, or the world that can't see you?
- Zuko's Back In Town
What if one day I turned to you and said, I'm not the man that you think I am? End a corner and you'll find me there, it's Friday night and there's nowhere to go. Will you abandon me for a fantasy, so you can gratify your selfish needs? If you come across some self-esteem. you know I need it please give it to me. Preconceived misery turns me into a mystery. but I hold tight to what is true. NOT YOU! Now it's the next day of the rest of my life. Forget about What i told you last night Still in the corner but I'm standing up, soon enough I'll be ready to go so go abandon me for a fantasy go gratify your selfish needs If you come across some self respect you can keep it so you can reflect.
