First scene- roof of a building Crash helmet and a cardboard wing I jump, thinking I could fly Seems I was wrong. - In my body's a black box recorder Inventorying every injury. If I fall from the sky You'll know the reason. -chorus- Why, why, why? You shake your fist at God and cry. Why, why, why? You're blaming everybody else, You need to blame yourself. - Candy corn is my favorite vegetable Kill me if I'm a vegetable too. How, if you don't even try, Are you gonna know you can fly? -chorus- -solo- -chorus- you need to change... yourself.

Vapin' 02:58
All the kids are vapin'. Vapors in their faces Now they can smoke in inappropriate places. Hard to look cool suckin' a Juul Vape lord of the middle school. -All the kids are vapin'!- What's this generation? What they generatin'? Massive clouds from an exhalation. I puff, I draw, I'm smokin' it all, Dude it ain't smokin', it's vapin'. -chorus- All the kids are blowing smoke and All the smoke is sending signals All the kids are, all the kids are... Vapin'- vape, vape, vape (3x) - All the kids are vapin', Vapors in their faces, A carcinogen, you breath in again, First a cough and then a coffin. -chorus- All the kids are blowin' smoke, All the smoke is sendin' signals All the kids are VAPIN" Vapors in their FACES All the kids are, all the kids are Vapin'- vape, vape, vape (3x)

Do or Die 05:29
I'm drivin' cattle, out on the pasture, Riders approaching and i'm all alone, They tried to waylay me, i turn those men to stone. After the melee, I catch my breath Watching the sunset, drinkin' in death They tried to stop me but i just had to get home. -chorus- Sometimes in life it's do or die Fight to the death, you or I When life depends on it, You must defend yourself - I'm thinking back to when we were courtin', Spending our time in our backseat apartment. I could've held you forever and never let go. Then last September, we're climbing Everest, Ice shelf collapsed, you fell below. I tried to hold on but I just had to let you go. -chorus- My inclination to always shoot first, Must keep control of myself. Falling like dominoes, into design, Enemies look like myself. -solo- Now we're at twilight and if I've learned anything, That's to appreciate life's every moment, Try to stay honest and drink in being alive. -chorus(2x)-

Kittens Heal 03:31
Start with emotion Crashing like an ocean Water wings. Prima ballerina, Only getting meaner, Her feet hurt her on the inside. -chorus- Everybody's dealing with something pretty heavy So if you can handle, with some kind of compassion So I beg you to handle with care. - I owe a child For my life She gave me. Prima ballerina, Only getting meaner Her feet hurt her on the inside. -chorus- -solo- When life gets too real, Kittens heal, They take away the pain from inside. -chorus-
5.
I wanna be your friend but I must discipline, My hardest hand, your harder head, You're an hourglass and I am sand. Want you to trust, Need you to understand, I hope you'll understand. -chorus- Love how you say your R's like W's How your little attitude and your bubble butt resemble me You're all I really live for in this world. "I love you daddy" - Although it sounds cliche, You make me wish that I could be a better man. I know someday you'll wonder why we don't live together but Believe me you are with me every day. -chorus- -solo- -chorus-
6.
I've always wanted to write a sonnet, A recitation on it, a gentle couplet about love. Centuries of art, exploding from my heart. - I'm imagining, my mind is fashioning You like a sculpture, I'm polishing away. You're my work of art You were once a part of me. -chorus- I will be your Lancelot, you're my Guinevere You could be my entrée into high society. I whisper from a mountaintop I love you. - I can lift you up, I can put you down, Set upon a pedestal then spin you around. Find infatuation to be so inspirational. -chorus- I will be your Lancelot, you're my Guinevere You could be my entrée into high society. I whisper from a mountaintop I love you.... insert name here -"string" section- -chorus-
