Individuality
Originality!
It's all gone; there is no more
Individuality!
Do you really know the score?
Because everyone sounds the same
In this game that we call fame
We need a new look
We need a new style
We need to stop being like everyone else
And try something different again
A cool melody, new harmony
So you can't tell me that we sound just like everybody else
Start thinking for yourself
Originality!
It's so hard to gain today
You've gotta fight hard
Rebel!
To gain your way
Because the world's a herd of sheep
Following the line
We have to break loose, we have to choose
To live our life like no one else
And try something different again
Take a look around my friend and tell me what you see
Confusion searching ecstasy leaves gaping holes of scrutiny
Falling for propaganda leads to temporary reverie
Yes, choosing the wrong priority thanks to your favorite company
Bring in the cavalry, ideas and not conformity
So find your personality, your individuality

Time Bomb
As the door closes behind me
And I step into the sun
I think about all that just happened
I really thought that she was the one
Then everything just started to seize up
And I became the only one
Who seemed to care
Now I've got to tell you
I'm really glad that we're almost done
'Cuz I'm a time bomb and I'm ticking
A little more every day
One day it'll catch up to me
And I don't know what I'm thinking
I must be out of my mind
It's only a matter of time before I break
She always calls; I don't want to answer
I can't take this shit anymore
Another day, another disaster
I can't even leave the house anymore
I think she's knocked up; I'm starting to panic
My emotions are beginning to soar
I'm about to explode with frustration
I just don't want to leave anymore
The phone hangs up again but is it over?
No, not even close
But then you see again you can't run away
But neither can I; I feel like we're stuck
And I don't know what I'm thinking
I've finally lost my mind
I knew it was only a matter of time

Seasons
Metamorphing leaves from green to orange rainbows
Air like Antarctic breath
Marriage once like spring is now dead like the winter
Orange to gray; it's hard to say if love's forever gone away
And his body would fuse with her soul and vice versa
But now he no longer feels life inside
And now that she's gone he wants to prove to her
That spring will return once more
Each sunrise they'd wake, each day they'd discover a new leaf; a new strand of life
But frost coats the flowers and soon it devours the life-giving breath inside
A flower was born kissed by heavenly dew drops
Amidst angelic song
But he could not see the beauty behind the disguise of the devil's sly schemes
But the flower's ever growing and life's never slowing
The garden will constantly grow
And he knows if he walks away a gardener will take his place
And the flower will be his no more
"So don't leave me alone!" he screams.
I will never see the sun again!
So please dear, have mercy like cool rain on my feverish face!"
Ages obsolete and eras far bygone
And now the modern song
Glistening lust and demented excitement
Inebriated laughter; no more happy ever after
Many times the leaves have gone and returned and the flower is now tall and strong
Lost love has matured and moved on and grown stronger; the marriage consumed by the years
Broken, yes shattered and back and forth battered
Hope extinguished by fears and mistrust
Seasons will come and go and even though time seems to drag, it's done before you know
So make up your mind you victim, "ha!"
Seasons have come and gone, it's been so long and memories have faded for the most part and he is a broken shell trapped by lustful lullabies and bitter fate

Letter
I've read your letter more than once, or twice or
Even three times
I've looked at your picture so much
It's starting to burn in my eyes
The times we spent meant so much before
But not much right now
Here's your letter back
Picture with no regrets
First class and stamped with hate
And waiting for delivery, yeah
Tears running down my face
I feel stuck inside this place
Can't forgive and can't forget
These memories inside my mind
Trying to forget all the times that we spent together
Laughs and smiles on our faces
We thought it would last forever
A whirlwind of thoughts flying though my mind
That we're not together
I don't want it
You can have it
And never talk to me again

Adelaide
Well, my little flower so soft and fair
You can count on me
Yes, I will be there
To pick you up if you should fall
To pull you out if you're against the wall
I will dry your tears if you are blue
And throughout the years you'll know that I love you
But let me surely promise you
That not a day goes by
When I can't help but think of you
And how our time slips by
I worry that you'll forget me
And that we'll never be
Peacefully happy
Well, my little star shining so bright
The whole, wide world can see your brilliant light
Your laugh and smile blossoms the whole town
That smile speaks truth; lets joy abound
So please, my dear don't forget me
So we can someday be peacefully happy, Adelaide.

Backwards
Well, I'm a backwards sort of person
With a backwards state of mind
Sucks for me, but that's okay because
I'm used to being left behind
I try but I can't keep up with the hype most every day
So when I just sit back and think about it
There's just a few things that I could say
You can live your life for someone else
Or live your life all for yourself
Because no matter what, it's just you
At the end of the day
When you're a backwards sort of person
In a backwards sort of time
Who can you really turn to
If you don't want to get left behind?
Well everyone is so full of shit most every day
So you've got to think, think (think) for yourself
If you don't want to get swept away
You can live your live for someone else
Or choose to live it for yourself
Because no matter what it's just you in your very own way
