Mack's songs shall go here. MWAHAHA!

Indeed they shall......

Alright these are my songs...they are not completely done, and I need to figure out the music. This first and third songs have a System of a Down kind of feel (minor key).

Emerge From the Darkness by Mack Rivkin

Here I am asleep
Waiting for the sun to rise
Dreaming of another day
Through these half-open eyes

Emerging from the darkness
Pushing away the black night
Staring up into the sun
Reaching out towards the light

I am emerging from the darkness...
(guitar fill)
Emerging from the darkness...
Emerging...emerging...
Emerging from the darkness

I emerge through this dark hole
Reaching out towards the light
Destroying all my nightmares
As I push away the night

Emerging from the darkness
Opening my half-closed eyes
Embracing the morning
Staring into the sunrise

I am emerging from the darkness...
(guitar fill)
Emerging from the darkness...
Emerging...emerging...
Emerging from the darkness

(sung really really loud)
OPENING MY EYES
PUSHING AWAY THE NIGHT
WATCHING THE SUN RISE
STARING UP INTO THE LIGHT
EMBRACING THE MORNING
DREAMING OF ANOTHER DAY
DESTROYING ALL MY NIGHTMARES
PUSHING YOU AWAY

I have emerged..........

Slow Down by Mack Rivkin

All this time i've gone so fast
These treasured moments will never last
No one seems to know.....gotta take it slow

I never remembered the past
Or the dark shadows it cast
No one seems to know.....gotta take it slow

Memories just fall away
I gotta go, but I really should stay
I move too quickly on the concrete ground
I gotta slow....down

My mind, my soul, all out of control
I can't get out of this deepning hole
I can't seem to get around
I gotta slow.....down

I don't know which way to go
To speed it up or take it slow
I will never know.....for now I'll take it slow

I gotta slow.....down
(repeated again really really fast)

Imposter by Mack Rivkin

My family used to be happy,
Until all the fights broke out.
Then seperation consumed me,
And an imposter walked into the house.

I used to be happy,
Until the situation got bad.
Now I am torn from my father,
And a replacement stands where he once had.

I don't know which way to turn
When no one is even there for me

I don't know who to talk to
When no one even believes me

The imposter is ruining my life
Turning people against me

I don't know where to run to
When he's alway there, right down the hall

He'll listen to his wife and kids,
But no, he won't listen to me.
I am a liar to him,
Nobody to him emotionally.

Yeah there's financial support
But money's not it all.
It's hard when there's nowhere to run to,
Because he's there, right down the hall.

I don't know which way to turn
When no one is even there for me

I don't know who to talk to
When no one even believes me

The imposter is ruining my life
Turning people against me

I don't know where to run to
When he's alway there, right down the hall

It's hard when an imposter lives right down the hall.

Religion (challenging SOAD) by Mack Rivkin

Making myths into a reality
Telling lies about the past we don't know
Science forms truth from the ancient scrolls
That we create, create, create, create

Religion fails to recognize the single most
Potent element of our very existence
Showing the truth and holding the reigns
Is science, science, science, science

Science is solving the puzzle
Showing the truth and holding the reigns
Religion fails to recognize the single most
Potent element of our very existence
Showing the truth and holding the reigns
Is science, science, science, science

Science only perfects our world
Showing the truth and holding the reigns
Science is the truth
Science is the truth
Science is the truth
Science is the truth
Science is the truth
Science is the truth

Showing the truth and holding the reigns
Is science, science, science, science

Showing the truth and holding the reigns
Is science, science, science, science

Science only perfects our world
Showing the truth and holding the reigns
Science is the truth
Science is the truth
Science is the truth
Science is the truth
Science is the truth
Science is the truth
Science is the truth
Science is the truth
Science is the truth
Science is the truth
Science is the truth
Science is the truth
Science holds the reigns

Here's Mike's AWESOME! but not fully done songs (cuz Mike is awesome and is typing this).

Time Flies by Mike Atkins

Why is it I, not we?
Why is it you, not me?
The things I’d do, to give you life,
Include losing my own...

Why does it have to be so,
You’ll be avenged with the same knife,
That killed you...

Why is it, I not we?
Why is it you, not me?
The things I’d do, to give you life,
Include losing my own...

Why did you have to leave!?
Why did you have to leave!?
Why did you have to leave me,

So soon...

I don’t think you could ever see...
How much you mean to me......
Why am I left to be...

Alone...

I’m sittin here like an abandoned child,
Shivering and begging for food on the street....

Until I stood up.....

Picked up the knife and started chasing him!
He won’t live to see another day,
For he took you away,
Made me a scared child...

Until he pissed me off!
And now the tables have turned!
The shoes on the other foot, now!
I’m the cat and you’re the rat,
Running from infinite doom!
I’m takin you down with a boom!

Today is your last day, so start counting down,
The years,
The months,
The weeks,
The days,
The hours,
The minutes,
The seconds,
Until I hunt you,
Until I hunt you,
Until I hunt you down!

Cause time flies!

Nothingness by Mike Atkins

The first step to deception is befriending,
But right now my back is bending,
To make sure you don’t know,
That to me, you’re not a friend but a foe!

This time you’ve crossed line,
I thought everything was fine!
But that I see it’s corrupt,
It feels like I might erupt!

I hate everything you stand for,
I can’t take this shit no more,
You take one more person’s heart,
I swear on my life, I will rip you apart!

You better start running when I yell;
That little punk is going to hell!

You can not catch me im not meant to be caught,
You can not teach me im not meant to be taught,
You can cage and tranquilize,
But you cannot kill the beast inside!

You've, broken my heart, my soul, my mind. And it seems the pains startin to grind,
me into nothingness,
Nothingness...

And if there is nobody to see,
What kind of man do you want me to be?
Why don't you slam that door in my face,
and in the race to your heart, put me in last place?

Nothingness...
Oh no.... Nothingness...
Why do I mean nothing in your heart?!
Nothingness...

Key To a Girl's Heart by Mike Atkins

"If you want to be a man,
I can show you how.
To get what you want,
You must fight for it now.
The key to a girl's heart,
Something you can't find at a super‑mart.
You can't buy the secret of love.
Or a guide to dream accomplishment.
You can be to defending, now,
But can't be to defenseless!
It's hard to get what you want,
You must fight for it!
You can not tease or taunt,

The ones you truly love,
Though they say you only hurt who you truly love!

If you love me, you should tell me now.
I would should show you how a feel but,
I can't think of how!

It seems that love just has to mock me.
Just as it seems that I can see clearly,
I can't see at all!

Demise, pain and torture!
Demise pain and torture!
Is what life means to me!
Is what life means to me!

How can I show you,
What I can't really see!?

Why does love have to be this way?
It seems I have fallen astray,

From reality,
And you...
Why does it have to be true!?

Demise, pain and torture!
Demise pain and torture!
Is what life means to me!
Is what life means to me!

How can I show you,
What I can't really see!?
Cause,

Life sucks and that is true,
Why is it me and you!?

I love
I love,
I love you,
And its true!

So please just back away
And let me fall astray!

Demise, pain and torture!
Demise pain and torture!
Is what life means to me!
Is what life means to me!

How can I show you,
What I can't really see!?
I can’t see
Can’t see,
Can’t see right through you!
Let me fall astray

Go away!
I love you,
So just go away!

Azure-Town by Jon Tracey
We are the ones that are gonna change your life,
We are the ones that are gonna change this town,
We are the ones that are gonna end this strife,
We are the ones on construction ground.

Weï¿½re gonna leave this town,
And we wonï¿½t be bound,
Weï¿½re gonna make it there to the top.

We are the ones that are gonna change this place,
We are the ones that are gonna win it now.

Welcome to my life,
Welcome to the pain,
Welcome to Azure-Town.

Under these blue skies,
With a lack of pain,
Where everybody cries,
Where everybody weeps.

Perfectness is happiness,
Or so you would think.

Azure-Town only exists in your mind
Sadness and sorrow and happiness entwined,
Now Iï¿½m not saying that there is no heaven,
Just that Azure-Town is a lie.

I walk this Earth,
And I try to find,
What Iï¿½ve always been looking for,
But what have I truly been searching for,
Weï¿½re all looking for the Azure-Town,
But the Azure-Town is in our hearts.

(slower)

Perfectness is happiness,
Or so you would think.

Here I Go Again by Jon Tracey

Here I go again on this endless road,
Wondering if she thinks of me at night,
I try to find and follow,
Whatï¿½s the use?
You speed on ahead,
And you leave me behind.

You were my life,
Then you left,
And Iï¿½ll never see you again,
You left me and you stole my heart,
No matter where you are,
If ever I see you again,
You know Iï¿½ll still love you.

Here I go again on this endless road,
Wondering if she thinks of me at night,
I try to find and follow,
Whatï¿½s the use?
You speed on ahead,
And you leave me behind.

Iï¿½m just kind of upset I never said goodbye,
I miss you everyday of my crazy life,
The hellful outcome of every twist and turn,
Every second of my life,
Every second that I waste,
I wonder about you,
And how youï¿½ve been. (fake ending)

Here I go again on this endless road,
Wondering if she thinks of me at night,
I try to find(find) and follow,
Whatï¿½s the use?
You speed on ahead,
As you leave me behind. (end with crash)

Sheï¿½s That Girl by Jon Tracey

Sheï¿½s that girl that youï¿½re thinking of,
Girl that youï¿½re dreaming of,
Girl that youï¿½d love to meet.

Sheï¿½s coming down the hallway staring at you,
Youï¿½re staring at her and trying not to drool,
Youï¿½re looking deeply into each others eyes,
Watching her as she passed you by.

Looking into her eyes,
You start to realize,
That maybe she feels it too,
Maybe youï¿½re perfect for each other,
(spoken, backup)Butï¿½then again.

Sheï¿½s that girl that youï¿½re thinking of,
Girl that youï¿½re dreaming of,
Girl that youï¿½d love to meet.

Your brain goes numb as you pass her by,
Every second with her is like a year in time,
As youï¿½re late to class she giggles and you smile,
You just wanted her attention this while.

Sheï¿½s that girl that you want,
Sheï¿½s that girl that you need,
Sheï¿½s that girl that youï¿½re thinking of.

She comes but once in a lifetime,
Never gonna see one again,
Waiting for her to show up for class,
When you find out what has come to pass.

Still that girl that youï¿½re thinking of,
Girl that youï¿½re dreaming of,
Girl that youï¿½d love to meet.

Sheï¿½s come here for a reason,
Whether she knows it or not,
And her reason is you.

So Many Words by Jon Tracey

So many words that I whish Iï¿½d spoken,
So many things that I wish Iï¿½d said,
So many different ways to fall in love.

If I could turn back time,
I think youï¿½d realize,
That youï¿½re the one for me.

So many words that I whish Iï¿½d spoken,
So many things that I wish Iï¿½d said,
So many different ways to fall in love.

You walked away that day,
Not only left this town,
But you left this hole in my heart.

So many words that I whish Iï¿½d spoken,
So many things that I wish Iï¿½d said,
So many different ways to fall in (love).
So many words that I whish Iï¿½d spoken,
So many things that I wish Iï¿½d said,
So many different times to fall in love.

Shut the Hell Up by Jon Tracey

Love is loss,
And loss is life,
Welcome to my world of pain and strife.

There is nothing wrong with a little pain,
Through pain comes happiness,
And thatï¿½s what I say.
(rock gets more awexome)

Sometimes you just want to beat people down,
And you can't control the urge,
They say a little violence never solved anything,
But Iï¿½m afraid I have to disagree.

Welcome to my life,
Full of mystical wonder,
This is the realm of Jon,
Donï¿½t doubt me for a second,
Because I know Iï¿½m right,
So justï¿½shut...up.

This violence is tearing us apart,
Inside and out,
There is nothing left to do,
But we can bring the answer to this town.

Shut the hell up and let me speak,
Shut the hell up I disagree,
Shut the hell up,
Just shut the hell up,
Now shut the hell up and let me speak.

Everyone else but me is insane,
This is the time of my reign,
Welcome to a world of war and peace,
This is the world that's meant for me.

Shut the hell up and let me speak.

Venom by Jon Tracey

You think that everyone cares as much as you do,
Correct me if Iï¿½m wrong but no one cares too.

Everyone listen to me as I speak,
Everyone standing please take a seat,
The news may be an impact on your soul,
But shut up and let the venom take its toll.

This is just a walk in the park compared to what I feel,
The venom in your system may hurt but I begin to peel.

Peel my skin off tape it on me,
Tell me doc that Iï¿½m still standing,
Wake me up in seven hours,
Sleepless nights and summer showers,
Just a walk now in the park compared to what I feel.

Just tell me doc that Iï¿½m okay,
Tell me doc I wonï¿½t feel a thing,
Tell me that Iï¿½ll be alright,
Tell me as you hold me tight.

Sleepless nights for several hours,
Youï¿½re waiting and watching like a coward,
The venom in your system embraces you now,
But why oh why oh why and how?

Peel my skin off tape it on me,
Tell me doc that Iï¿½m still standing,
Wake me up in seven hours,
Sleepless nights and summer showers,
Just a walk now in the park compared to what I feel.

Every second and every breath,
You move on closer to your death,
The venom now courses through you,
There is nothing left to do.

Wait it out and live your life,
Just wait until the end of time.

Peel my skin off tape it on me,
Tell me doc that Iï¿½m still standing,
Wake me up in seven hours,
Sleepless nights and summer showers,
Just a walk now in the park compared to what I feel.

Here I Go Again: The Prequel by Jon Tracey

Last May you walked away,
You never said goodbye,
Everyday Iï¿½m missing you,
Every second of my life.

Well now the tables have turned,
And I am walking away from you.

You showed up on my doorstep,
And you thought it was okay,
You say you didnï¿½t mean it to turn out this way,
But you walked away,
And you never said goodbye,
You walked away that day,
Completely left my life.

Well now itï¿½s my turn,
Iï¿½ll just leave you to rot,
Iï¿½ll walk away from you,
Iï¿½ll never say goodbye,
Now you know how I feel,
Never talk to me again,
Donï¿½t show up at my door again.

Forever Iï¿½ll miss you,
Never doubt that,
But still I canï¿½t help but hate you.

Richard Nixon on a Plastic Pony by Jon Tracey

Richard Nixon on a plastic pony,
Nothingï¿½s better than a president phony,
The usual screw up in the D.C.
Guess whoï¿½s behind door number three.

What's with freedom in America?
True freedom is anarchy,
But that system doesnï¿½t work,
Welcome to democracy,
Where weï¿½re free to be censored,
Free to be free,
But letï¿½s just wait and see.

Hail to the president of the USA,
Love the freedoms that he gives me,
While heï¿½s safe in his comfy White House,
Weï¿½re out fighting to be free.

George Washington,
Was competent,
He knew what he had to do,
But letï¿½s fast forward to the present time,
And letï¿½s just say we lose.

What's with freedom in America?
True freedom is anarchy,
But the system doesnï¿½t work,
Welcome to democracy,
Where weï¿½re free to be censored,
Free to be free,
But letï¿½s just wait and see.

But I could be wrong,
Then Iï¿½ll just shut up,
But Iï¿½m sure that thereï¿½s something slightly wrong with America,
Where we strive to be free,
But freedom doesn't exit.

Never Had Her by Jon Tracey

Somehow I always knew this would happen,
Somehow itï¿½s been in my nightmares for a long time,
Someway itï¿½s taking control over me,
I always knew that youï¿½d do it,
I knew that I couldnï¿½t.

As I just sit here and wait my turn,
Youï¿½re out making friends with the world,
I couldnï¿½t say you took her away from me,
Because I knew I couldnï¿½t do it.

I never had her,
But I knew you would,
I knew that sometime you would make your move,
But I still waited such a long time.

But still I refuse to let you know,
I refuse to let you go,
I refuse to take the chance,
I refuse to let you go,
I refuse to make him leave,
I refuse to let you go,
I just refuse.

Do you see my problem?

Confliction of the mind,
I just canï¿½t decide,
This is my problem
This is my love,
This is my hate.

I think I love you,
But truly,
I donï¿½t know what that means.

Here I Go Again: Part II by Jon Tracey

You say you never meant it to turn out this way,
But I know you lie,
Because youï¿½re that kind of person,
He wasnï¿½t right for you,
He didnï¿½t deserve to be right for anyone,
Because he is that kind of person.

Wake me up when you start caring.

He's not right for you so why don't you dump him?
He's not right for you oh why don't you dump him?
He's not right for you so why don't you dump him?
He's not right for you oh why don't you dump him?
Just dump him please right now,
Quick and painless too.

He wasnï¿½t right for you,
Yet you look towards me,
And donï¿½t see anything.

I just don't understand.

Leave This Town by Jon Tracey

Have you forgotten?
What have you done?
Have you forgotten?
What is your problem?

You still think that everyone cares like you,
But Iï¿½m afraid I have to tell you that the nice guys lose,
Nobodyï¿½s voice is really heard,
On this endless road,
We try to find and follow,
But no one hears us,
And no one cares,
No one except that plastic pony.

Sheï¿½s that girl,
But youï¿½re not that guy,
Sometimes you just want to cry,
Waiting for the venom to consume you,
Weï¿½re waiting here to greet you too.

I think they should all just shut the hell up,
That stupid pony and its rider should just leave this place,
Her loss is like a stick impaled upon your face,
But no one cares.

You left this town,
And you never had her,
But no one cares.

Lost in this world of pain and strife,
This is the world that they call life,
No one cares if you flat-out leave,
And no one cares not even me.

Weï¿½re gonna leave this town,
We wonï¿½t come back,
Weï¿½re gonna leave this place,
Donï¿½t wait up.

Weï¿½re not coming home again,
But I might come back for you,
Even though you left and you stole my heart,
Youï¿½re that girl that Iï¿½m thinking of,
Girl that Iï¿½m dreaming of,
But wake me up when you start caring.

Weï¿½re gonna leave this town,
We wonï¿½t come back,
Weï¿½re gonna leave this place,
Donï¿½t wait up.

No one cares not even me.

Break Away From the Crowd by Jon Tracey

Just break away from the crowd,
Break away and be proud,
That you took the chance,
To become a better man.

You donï¿½t know how this will impact you,
When the time comes to be you,
You will remember this time above all else,
You donï¿½t know what the problem is,
With corporate America,
Being a slave to everyone else,
Now you can stand above the rest,
And strive to be your best.

Just break away from the crowd,
Break away and be proud,
That you took the chance,
To become a better man.

Staying with the herd,
Is amazingly absurd,
So you took the risk,
To be the person you can be,
But who knows what you have to be,
Because the choice is yours,
To make something of yourself.

I know sometimes it can be hard,
To feel alone in the world,
With nobody at your side,
But you must understand,
That I will always be with you,
Whoever you are,
Whatever you are,
I know how you feel alone in the dark,
Feeling alone in the world,
Being the one person that took a chance,
But it will workout,
In the end.

Just break away from the crowd,
Break away and be proud,
That you took the chance,
To become a better man.

Staying with the herd
Is amazingly absurd,
So you took the risk,
To be the person you can be
But who knows what you have to be
Because the choice is yours
To make something of yourself.

Just..Break..Away.

Guess What by Jon Tracey

She looks into the darkness,
Yet she only sees light,
She looks into my eyes,
And she sees my whole life.

She can tell where Iï¿½ve been,
She makes me think of how I lived,
Nothing beats this feeling,
But I canï¿½t take much more.

If too much of a good thing can be a bad thing,
Then I guess Iï¿½m screwed,
Youï¿½re that good feeling at the end of the day,
Youï¿½re that feeling for which most would pay.

I wake up in the morning,
And I think about you,
I go back to sleep,
And I dream of you.

They say through pain comes happiness,
But I donï¿½t want to wait.

Canï¿½t you make me disappear?
Canï¿½t you wake me up next year?

(rock gets harder)

A paper cut or a stab in the back,
Whatever he did was worse than that,
Iï¿½d die eight times just to see you smile,
Canï¿½t wake up from this giant pile of.

BULLSHIT,
Heï¿½s full of it,
Canï¿½t you see?
But you donï¿½t care,
And neither does he.

Guess what?
Youï¿½re wrong,
And I donï¿½t care,
If you choose him over me,
Well we can wait and see.

Guess what?
You made the wrong choice,
I donï¿½t care if it was perfect,
Real perfect is right here,

Guess what?
Heï¿½s not there for you,
He wonï¿½t care for you,
Guess what?
Now what?
Shut up!

Just Below the Line by Jon Tracey

Everything that you do has an impact on your life,
What path have you chosen and what path have I?

Itï¿½s just below the line of love,
Itï¿½s just below the line of hate,
Itï¿½s just below the line I walk upon.

Iï¿½m sorry I missed you again that day,
I was busy again,
Just like last May,
I havenï¿½t spoken to you in oh so long,
But what about this line that youï¿½re walking on?

The oh so thin line between our love,
The love that I still donï¿½t believe exists,
I wait for you to love me too,
But when you say it something like--Jon who?

Itï¿½s just below the line of love,
Itï¿½s just below the line of hate,
Itï¿½s just below the line I walk upon.

I love her and she loves me,
Or that is the way that it seemed,
He loves her and she loves him,
But donï¿½t you see.

Itï¿½s just below the line of love,
Itï¿½s just below the line of hate,
Itï¿½s just below the line I walk upon.

This line has faltered,
And been altered,
If love truly exists,
Then I havenï¿½t seen it yet.

The Diamond in the Rough by Jon Tracey

Why do I have to stand up tall and proud?
Why do I tumble through the crowd?
Why do I thrive when things get tough?
The diamond in the rough.

Our differences though sweet and neat,
Are disoriented and theyï¿½re what we need,
I donï¿½t want to be similar,
I want to just break away.

Weï¿½re different and random too,
Guess you didnï¿½t know what I knew,
No one can see whatï¿½s right in front of them,
Itï¿½s as if whatï¿½s obvious is also whatï¿½s condemned.

Well, Iï¿½m still standing tall and proud,
Iï¿½m still tumbling through the crowd,
And I strive when things get tough,
The diamond in the rough.

Are we similar or are we special?
Whatï¿½s the difference to us all?
(long ass guitar solo)

Weï¿½re all different,
So weï¿½re the same,
Who really cares if youï¿½re insane,
Too random to function,
Too different to breathe,
Too tired to even think of something.

And thatï¿½s the truth.

No One Ever Told Me It Was Hard by Jon Tracey

Nobody ever said it was easy,
But no one ever told it was hard.
(AWEXOME ROCK!!!!!11)

Open your eyes and see the lies,
You thrive and lose your dignity,
No matter what youï¿½ll come back to me

How does it feel to be the number one?
When time goes awry and you are just done,
You should face the facts,
And then face your past.

Just open your eyes to this world of lies,
They say itï¿½s going to be okay,
But simply put itï¿½s not.

Secrets and lies of society,
Secrets and lies!
Secrets and lies!
Secrets and lies!

Everything is going to be okay,
Isnï¿½t that what they always say?

Shut up, shut up I know you donï¿½t care,
Donï¿½t have to lie no more anywhere,
Through these gritted teeth spurting secrets and lies,
Secrets and lies of society.

Open your eyes to see the lies,
You thrive and lose your dignity,
No matter what youï¿½ll come back to me.

Through these secrets and lies I see the truth,
I see the world for what it is,
The world is. . . .

Secrets and lies!
Secrets and lies!
Secrets and lies of society!

Two Hours and Seven Minutes by Jon Tracey

I miss you so much,
Even though itï¿½s only been,
Two hours and seven minutes,
It feels like eternity,
Feels like eternity,
Feels like eternity.

Iï¿½ve waited forever for this day,
But now that itï¿½s here I want you to stay,
Please donï¿½t leave me so suddenly,
Now I can feel much more,
I felt your pleasure and pain before,
But now I can feel your love.

It burns me,
How much we could have done,
The two of us could be just one,
Even though itï¿½s only been,
Two hours and seven minutes,
It feels like eternity,
This is a lifetime in,
Two hours and seven minutes.

This emotion that they call love,
Is worth a lifetime full of laughter,
This is just because,
Love is an eternity of,
Two hours and seven minutes,
How long did it take for you to miss me like this?

Two hours and seven minutes,
It feels like eternity,
I think to love it is.

Love Equals $Null by Jon Tracey

I heart $null,
I heart $null,
$null is my love,
I heart dollar sign N-U-L-L,
$null is my love.

If my love is equal to $null,
Then everybody sing,
Everybody get up and dance with me!

I heart $null,
I heart $null,
$null is my love,
I heart dollar sign N-U-L-L,
$null is my love.

Rofflecopters,
Lawlerskates,
Everything that I might debate,
$null is love,
Love is nothing,
Everybody get up and dance with me!

I heart $null,
I heart $null,
$null is my love,
I heart dollar sign N-U-L-L,
$null is my love.

Might as well Jump by Jon Tracey

She has some problems with herself,
She thinks that everyone hates her too,
But Iï¿½ve got something to tell you.
(Short 1337 guitar solo)

How does this story end?
How does it end, my friend?
Do I ever find my love with you?
With you.

Might as well jump,
Right into it,
Right out of it,
Right out of the,
Ooooooooh.

How does this story end?
Can I make reality bend?
Ooooooooh,
Just thinking about you.

Might as well jump,
Right into it,
Right of it,
Straight into this,
Ooooooooh.

She has some problems,
In her mind,
She really doesnï¿½t,
Know what to think,
But Iï¿½ve got something to tell you.

This story ends.

Iï¿½m Not What I Seem by Jon Tracey

So what if you thought you knew me?
So what if you thought about me?
So what if you cared for me?
Iï¿½m not what I seem.

Pay close attention,
Read between the lines,
Where have you been in these lovely times?
You thought about me,
You think you know me,
What . . . now?
Whereï¿½ve you been?

So what if you thought you knew me?
So what if you thought about me?
So what if you cared for me?
Iï¿½m not what I seem.

You donï¿½t really know what Iï¿½ve done,
Donï¿½t fret because thatï¿½s no one,
You think youï¿½re right,
Youï¿½ve got to be kidding me,
Where have you been?

So what if you thought you knew me?
So what if you thought about me?
So what if you cared for me?
Iï¿½m not what I seem.

Iï¿½m not what I seem.
Even though youï¿½re fucking retarded.

Falling Asleep by Jon Tracey

My head has been in use all day,
I canï¿½t think of anything to say,
Iï¿½m just so tired,
Yet Iï¿½m so wired,
Falling asleep into my dreams,
Falling asleep where darkness creeps,
Falling asleep,
Just falling asleep,
Iï¿½m falling asleep into my dreams,
Falling asleep where darkness creeps,
Falling asleep,
Iï¿½m falling asleep,
Just falling asleep into my dreams,
Falling asleep where darkness creeps.

Falling asleep,
Falling asleep,
Falling asleep into my dreams.

Iï¿½m gonna sleep it off until the morning,
Sleeping in because this is boring,
Falling asleep into my dreams,
Falling asleep where darkness creeps.

Because my head has been in use all day,
And I canï¿½t think of anything to say,
So Iï¿½m falling asleep into my dreams,
Falling asleep where darkness creeps.

Sleeping in far past the morning,
Sleeping in because you told me,
Falling asleep,
Falling asleep.

Iï¿½m falling asleep into my dreams,
Falling asleep where darkness creeps,
Sleeping in until the morning,
Sleeping in because this is boring.

Iï¿½m just falling asleep,
Falling asleep like nothing every happened.

Where Have You Gone by Jon Tracey

I thought I knew you but apparently not,
You couldnï¿½t be swayed by simple thoughts,
You werenï¿½t that kind of person,
I donï¿½t know anymore,
And I donï¿½t even know what this is even for.

What a cruel fate for anyone,
Not knowing why you lost someone,
You were there for me,
And I donï¿½t know why youï¿½re gone,
I donï¿½t even know what Iï¿½ve done.

Where? Where? Where? Where have you gone?
Where? Where? Where? Where have you gone?

Sorrow combined with faith,
Is what shall take your place,
Where have you gone and what have I done?
What is the problem?

Where? Where? Where? Where have you gone?
Where? Where? Where? Where have you gone?

I donï¿½t know how this will end,
But I hope itï¿½s for the better,
I canï¿½t imagine life without you,
I wonï¿½t let it begin.

Where? Where? Where? Where have you gone?
Where? Where? Where? Where have you gone?

No One Loves You by Jon Tracey

Everybody lost their faith a long time ago,
Nobody can even remember what went wrong,
Nobody can recall the tragic end,
Everyone loves your friends,
But no one loves you.

No one loves you.

Who knows precisely what time it came?
The second where someone called you a skank,
Everyone lost their faith in you,
Youï¿½re a slut once you think itï¿½s true.

No one loves you,
No one loves you,
No one loves you,
Itï¿½s true, itï¿½s true.

Thereï¿½s a subtle difference between ignorance and stupidity,
Theyï¿½re the latter and the first sequentially,
No one loves you,
Everyone says,
Theyï¿½re ignorant and stupid,
But they have much more represent,
Everyone believes it, even you.

Youï¿½re a fucking slut,
Youï¿½re a fucking slut,
Youï¿½re a fucking slut,
And everyone knows itï¿½s true.

No one loves you,
No one loves you,
No one loves you,
Itï¿½s true, itï¿½s true.

Everybody lost their faith a long time ago,
Nobody can even remember what went wrong,
Nobody can recall the tragic end,
Everyone loves your friends,
But no one loves you.

No one loves you.

No one loves you,
Not even me.

Crazy Talk by Jon Tracey

Youï¿½re the one Iï¿½ve thought about for all of this time,
Never could really get you out of my mind,
Youï¿½re with me all the time, I really think about you,
Never could really get you out of my mind.

Never really thought about it much before this,
Itï¿½s just how much you fill my life with complete bliss,
Never could really get you out of mind,
I think Iï¿½m going crazy.

There goes my sanity, right out the door,
There it went, down the stairs, onto the floor.

Crazy talk, crazy talk, crazy talk, Iï¿½m going crazy.

Iï¿½m going crazy and I canï¿½t slow down,
Whoï¿½s going to stop me from going down?
Whoa.

Crazy talk, crazy talk, crazy talk, Iï¿½m going crazy AND I CANï¿½T SLOW DOWN.

Crazy talk, crazy talk, crazy talk, Iï¿½m going crazy and I canï¿½t slow down.

Just a Poem by Jon Tracey (Including a poem by Langston Hughes)

You really think that you know what it takes to fall in love?
You actually think that there was something between us?

You need some talking to,
You've got it all wrong,
Itï¿½s almost as if you knew,
You were right to begin with, too.

Yeah, thatï¿½s right, I said it,
I can finally admit,
There was a bit of a spark between us,
I admit not because I want to, but because I must.

But you got to let it go,
I donï¿½t think you know.

Itï¿½s not you, itï¿½s her,
Itï¿½s not you, itï¿½s her,
Itï¿½s not you, itï¿½s her.

Not a bad her,
Not a good you,
Just a dream differed.

What happens to a dream deferred?

Does it dry up,
Like a raisin in the sun?

Or fester like a sore--
And then run?

Does it stink like rotten meat?
Or crust and sugar over--
Like a syrupy sweet?

Maybe it just sags,
Like a heavy load.

Or does it explode?

Our Hearts are Still Beating (Azure-Town Revisited)

I know that the word has lost all meaning,
But we can pretend that our hearts are still beating,
Maybe while weï¿½re at it, two plus two equals five,
And we can all pretend that we donï¿½t want to cry.

In this backwards world where everything is mystic,
Where everyoneï¿½s in shock at the slightest revisions,
This world is far too nice for anyone to live in,
When we move in they just ask where weï¿½ve been.

This word and this world are completely pointless,
Whatï¿½s a world where nothing is joyless?
This world that they just call home,
This world is simply Azure-Town.

Azure-Town only exists in your mind,
Iï¿½d like to visit this place sometime,
The word that we dare to speak,
At every outburst, but I disagree,
The word has lost all meaning,
But we can still pretend that our hearts are still beating.

Two plus two is equal to five,
Azure-Town comes back to my mind.

Perfectness is happiness, or so you would think.

We're all screwed by Jon Tracey

Eh--we're all screwed,
We've got nothing left to do,
Maybe it's ignorance,
This is how life has been.

I don't know whose fault this is,
Maybe it's mine,
I don't know,
Maybe it's you, oh, oh.

Eh--we're all screwed,
We've got nothing left to do,
Maybe it's ignorance,
This is how life has been.

The fault is my own,
I hear in your tone,
But maybe it's you,
We've got nothing left to do.

Yeah, we're all screwed,
We've got nothing left to do,
Maybe it's ignorance,
This is how life has been.

We're all screwed to the bone,
You can hear it in my tone,
'Cause we're all screwed,
We've got nothing left to do.
