Hey there, kid
I know what it's like to be in your shoes
There's so much ahead
You don't really know which path you're gonna choose
But I've walked these roads, I know where they go
And how they'll shape your views
Because I've been there, I'd like to share
Some wisdom you could use
I could define
A timeline you could follow carefully
The times when you'll thrive, the things you'll survive
The things you can't foresee
I could improve, or even remove
Some hardships you're due for
But then again, my good intentions
Might end up hurting more
If I shelter you
I could soften you too much
And if I tell the truth
You mightn't take it as such
If I give you too many shortcuts you could lose touch
Yeah it's tough but it's true
It's a Catch-22
I just don't know what to tell you
There's tough times ahead
But focus instead on how they'll strengthen you
You'll suffer loss
But it's a cost we all must suffer through
Your very worst days
Will help you in ways you cannot comprehend
Take it from me
Someday you'll see it's worth it in the end
I could let you in
On all the tricks I now know
But it would be a sin
To deprive you of your chance to grow
If you don't make these mistakes
It'd be the biggest mistake you can make
And it's a risk you'll have to take
It's a Catch-22
I just don't know what to tell you
What things to share
What things that I should hide
What to be proud of
What to keep bottled inside
Any one of them
Might change your lot in life
You might not break your heart
You might not meet your wife
There's some things I can't tell you
I'm scared if I do
You won't catch twenty-two of the most meaningful years of your life

Ode to the Sportsman
03:28
|
|||
|
This is an ode to the sportsman
You were seen by some as just a brute, in fact
But you're the one who shamed Goliath by choosing the hero's path
You wrestled your demons for years and years
For years and years
Admirers of yours far and wide sing your praise
And it carries on for days and days
For days and days
You masked your anguish despite knowing that people in masks cannot be trusted
But you just did
You had to make your way by aligning with any criminal genius who showed interest
But it wasn't your fault for being the biggest and strongest
You did something right
You didn't let it go to your head
Or compromise your giant capacity for loyalty
The biggest part of you was always your heart
When the pain drove you drunk with grief
You didn't let it defeat you, it fueled you
And it freed you to find relief by saving the day
You helped find your princess
You did it with purpose, you did it with pride
You loved with all your remarkable might
The biggest part of you was always your heart
You walked softly and carried a big everything
You did something right
You didn't let it go to your head
Or compromise your beautiful humility
You could best any other pirate on any other day
But it takes a greater kind of courage to ensure a fair fight come what may
You did something right
You were so sportsmanlike

Wait Right There
03:47
|

|
Yesterday, tomorrow
Just abstract versions of now
Why do they make a difference?
When now's all we can experience anyhow?
Give or take, or borrow
There's a choice in how we share
No matter where you think you're headed
I choose to get you closer to getting there
I hear your call
You push my buttons
I'll come runnin'
Wait right there
(I wanna get up for you)
Wait right there
(I wanna meet up with you)
Wait right there
(I wanna get up for you)
Wait right there
(I'll make it up to you)
You look at me, so impatient
I could never take your stares
Won't let you down unless you ask me to
'Til then I'm yours to direct me anywheres
I hear your call
You push my buttons
I'll come runnin'
Wait right there
(I wanna get up for you)
Wait right there
(I wanna meet up with you)
Wait right there
(I wanna get up for you)
Wait right there
(I'll make it up to you)

Requited
02:27
|
|||
|
Nothing gets much better than this
Usually something goes amiss
But lately we make great chemistry
Some unforeseen unseasonal bliss
Inspired, excited
Desired, delighted me
After those eyes meet mine tonight
Blood pressures rise, lips nervously bite
Despite my slight fright, it's quite a nice sight
One touch of your skin means I'll be alright
Exotic, intoxicating
Amazing you
Tremendous, fulfilling
Stupendous and thrilling
Believed in, invited
Received, then requited, love

Got Away
03:36
|
|||
|
You were a siren in shinin' glass-scattered sun
I was a shy and silent distantly affectionate
Train wreck with training wheels on
I hid in my corner to fawn over the beauty only I saw
You were all exotic, had nothing to hide, you wore your
Insides like they were costumes at Mardi Gras
I was always a waiter, not much of a chaser
I'm no instigator
But I swore I saw your eyes flash invitation
To talk you later
You held my gaze
And I froze in place
And all because of my delay
You're the one who got away
You're the one who got away
I'd come back to see you, to greet you, try to meet you
In some better place
Found my first courage in the bottom of the coffee you
Served me with that Mardi Gras smile on your face
I'd climb my wall of nerves, push the ball of doubtful words aside
And tried to be my own cupid that day
But you eluded me, you did me a favor
Turns out you made a greater cupid than I did anyway
And as you slipped away
Right then I saw her face
Now I no longer have to say
"She's the one who got away"
You gave a gift I can't repay
You led me to find 'the one'
And I'm so happy this love's begun
And after all is said and done
I mean "thank you" when I say,
After all is said and done
"Happy Valentine's Day"

Dinosaur Sam
03:32
|
|||
|
I can call a man, get a job, earn a wage
And relax at the end of a long work day
For how much pay compared to what's made
By the gal next door who works as much if not more
I guess her glass ceiling is your glass floor
What makes me so special?
And I can ask that gal for her name, for her number
Ask her out on a date and if we relate we'll
Fall madly in love and there are vows we can make
Ain't that just the same as when two men feel that way?
But your good book ain't good enough to say that's okay.
What makes me so special?
You make these rules to govern over, curry favor
What makes you so special?
If you took this job to ensure you've got
More rights than others then
One thing I know for sure:
Uncle Sam don't represent me no more
You're a Dinosaur, Sam - your ideology needs
To die; no sore winners in my promised land
The youth will be your meteor, Sam
And the truth will set you free
Feel free to take your leave
I can have a drink or four and get into a car
And get pulled over and blow for the officer
And pay it away if I fail, I can stay out of jail
But if a bright young kid at the top of his class gets
Caught with some grass, does he get a free pass?
Not if it keeps your prisons filled, I guess
What makes me so special?
You make these rules to feel superior
What makes you so special?
If you took this job to ensure you've got
More rights than others then
One thing I know for sure:
There's not much time for you and yours
You're a Dinosaur, Sam - your ideology needs
To die; no sore winners in my promised land
The youth will be your meteor, Sam
And the truth will set you free
Feel free to take your leave
Feel free to take your leave
Feel free to take your leave

Better Days
04:47
|

|
The best thing living in a maze
Around the corner there are better days
Feeling good means more to you
Than it ever could for those who never knew
The pain it takes to understand
Relief from pain you never planned
But you’ve found a way to make it through the day
To make it through the maze of you
Your mind and body
Straining through and through
But your battle’s not with me
So I cannot set you free
From this purgatory
All I can do for you
Is to give you something good to think
The best thing living in a maze
Around the corner there are better days
The best thing about being down
There’s room to lift yourself off the ground
And when you feel lost
In the maze
I’ll give the gift
Of straightaways
No matter what the cost
No matter what it takes
I won't let you miss
The better days
Pain is the feeling of winning the fight for your life

Here At The Door
04:11
|
|||
|
(Verse 1: 6/8 time)
I respect you
And I believe you try to do good
But you've gotten used to
A way of taking much more than you should
And we've let you
Get used to a comfort that more of us could
Enjoy, and feel
For once, for real
And to feel like
We're part of a team
So please please please
Understand what it means
That you're making a choice
In times like these
It will come like the tide
In a unified voice
We'll say...
(Chorus 1: 5/8 time, 3/8 polyrhythm)
...that we're here at the door
There will be many more
Don't be scared but be sure
We're prepared to endure
The wildest ride of all our lives
And if you'll fight don't be surprised
That we're hangin' on...
(Verse 2: 6/8 time)
In case you doubted
There are many more of us
Than you've counted
And we do know that it's crowded
In there but it's
Crowded out here
I just want a seat at this table
Looking for a place
That's stable enough
To stake my claim
To lay my foundation
And shout my name
So please please please
Understand I'm a friend
But I'll tell you again
(Chorus 2: 5/8 time, 4/8 polyrhythm)
That we're here at the door
There will be many more
If you just make some room
Then this place will grow too
And you could stand to clear the air
Just take my hand, there's room in there
And we're hangin' on...
(Outro: 4/4 time, 3/4 polyrhythm)
I respect you
But I have to ask you
Please hear me out
Don't you wrangle me down
Don't wrangle me down, or rein me in

Slow Jam
03:28
|
|||
|
I see you movin' hesitatin'
Almost dancin' in the kitchen
You're feeling lonely, only wishin'
That you felt that elation
That your feet would remember that sensation
Of being on the dance floor
I know what you've gotta do
Our bodies know what we need
So let your pulse quicken and listen
There's no language for the way it feels
But your body speaks and makes it real
This is what we dance for
This is what we dance for
Our bodies know what we need
So we listen when they tell us
To move, to move, to move
You've gotta dance like you've got something to prove
This is what we dance for
It's gotta be what you've gotta do
So call me, baby, call me
And I'll move, to move to you
I'll rescue you I'll take you to the club
You've got your hands in the air
Just like you're reaching for something
That's almost there but you're not quite sure
If you know where to go, take it slow
Let me show you how not to hurry, don't worry
Baby, we'll dance more
We've got all night so we can take our time
'Till we get it right; I can
Wait 'till the DJ plays a slow jam
You won't quite invite me home, but it's alright
This is what we dance for
This is what we dance for
I'll take you to the club, show me what you love
And I'll move to you
I'll move to you
I'll sing a tune
I'll dance with you
This is what we dance for
To move, to move, to move

The Damn Breaks
03:15
|
|||
|
It was never about winning
Our choice of direction affects us all
We'll steer ourselves to a new beginning
Or runaway straight toward a wall
And I thought I could be the one to pull the damn brakes
The one who saves face, not the one who raises the stakes
But you're in charge now and I pray your conscience awakes
Or consequences will cause a million heartaches
So what's your answer to me?
So much is riding on this
We'll scrutinize your every move
You've shown us how much you can promise
But you've got so much more to prove
You'll find you're hated and you're learning those are the damn breaks
You're in over your head and you're measured by your mistakes
You can't solve all of this with back room smiles and handshakes
It's time you listened to more than sycophant snakes
So will you listen to me?
Changing winds and changing tides
The times you lie are the times you drown
When the waters decide to rise
You'll not be able to talk them down
No, you don't wanna be on top of the dam when the dam breaks
Foundations are fragile, imagine the toll our fight takes
The march of the masses are known for causing earthquakes
You're just our employee, don't forget the difference that makes
Don't forget the difference that makes
Don't forget the difference that makes
Now you answer to me
Now you answer to me
Now you answer to me

Forgotten But Not Gone
01:19
|
|||
|
I could spend a lifetime wasting away remembering good times past
I'd pretend it's like my greatest days again blurring milestones passed
And my thinking of late is it's safe to say there's a million I've amassed
But the thing that makes them glory days is the fact that they don't last
And it's over now, and I'm settled down, not by choice but the clock is ticking on
I'm forgotten but not gone

Patient
06:19

VERSE 1
You have gotten good at counting
How many days it's been
And good at imagining
How many it will be 'till the end
And what it will be the the end of
You could have given in to doubting
Just waiting 'till when
It all starts happening
Too many attacks for you to defend
But that's not what you're afraid of
And you're not quieting your shouting
You're fighting to win
Bravely banishing
A nightmare curse again and again
You've shown us what you're made of
CHORUS
You're graceful as a bird
Emotions of a willow
As patient as a butterfly
to be well again
PART II / POST CHORUS
A thousand faces in a crowd
But not one in a million understands
A simple wish for a clearer head
A stronger heart and steadier hands
VERSE 2
I can't imagine what you're feeling
But you're not here alone
I'll give you anything
My strength and love my understanding
It's all yours for the taking
Why can't we take the hand they're dealing
And throw it all away
And find a better game
One with a brighter ending
A cure of our own making
CHORUS 2
And then without a word
Your head upon a pillow
A patient with the heart to try
You'll be well again
PART II / POST CHORUS 2
A thousand faces all around
And every one your family
Holding you up above the ground
We'll take you where you need to be
CHORUS 3
And if you haven't heard
Echoing from below
Shouting your name to the sky
You'll be well again
BRIDGE
Again and again I stop to recognize your beauty
The strength in your face when you uphold it like a duty
And I know, we'll look back and laugh that
we lived through the days of sickness
And cry for those that didn't
BUt you're gonna make it
You've shown me what you're made of
CHORUS
You're graceful as a bird
Emotions of a willow
As patient as a butterfly
To be well again.
Graceful as a bird
Emotions of a willow
As patient as a butterfly
You'll be well again

Skultar's Blade
03:44
|

|
This is not my fate
But it's the fight I've taken on
I'm consumed by hate
And fueled by all the blood I've drawn
I've come to reclaim
This sacred ground you tread upon
You'll not know my name
But if you cherish life you'll run
With all your might
And if you dare to fight
My blade will taste you
If you defend your land
Then I will kill you where you stand
Then I'll find your friends
And tell them how you met your end
Then I'll kill them too
Then I'll kill you once again
Then I'll find your wife
I'll cook her dinner then I'll
Kill you one more time
This sword and I will dine
My blade will taste you
SKULTAR IS THE MAN WHO CAN
KILL FROM THE GRAVE!
SO FAR IF WE KILL HIM
IT JUST ADDS TO HIS RAGE!
MY GOD HOW CAN ONE MAN
LAY US TO WASTE?
QUICK RUN! HERE HE COMES
LOOK HOW HE WIELDS HIS BLADE!

On a bright winter day
I awoke next to Molly as I heard her say
"Thank the heavens above, are you ready, my love?
The baby's on her way."
As I wiped the sleep from my eye
I turned to my Molly and I realized
That the love of my life, my beautiful wife
Was far more ready than I
On the day my daughter came into the world
Could you trade one life for another?
A husband and wife, now father and mother
Would I be prepared? I was terribly scared
On the day my daughter came into the world
As we raced out the door
My arms around Molly, I hugged her once more
To the doctor we went, and I learned what it meant
To be nervous like never before
Could you trade one life for another?
Would I be a good enough man for my child and my lover?
A responsibility, it had fallen to me
On the day my daughter came into the world
The next thing happened so fast
I heard cries from my Molly as the nurse ran past
Though the room became quiet, they wouldn't let me inside it
But then the doctor came out at last
As soon as I saw him I knew
Something happened to Molly, and she might not pull through
And the chances were slight that they could both be alright
Then he asked what I wanted to do
Could you trade one life for another?
I faced a choice no one should, that stayed with me for good
On the day my daughter came into the world
I can't believe how quickly she's grown
All her friends have mommies that treat her like their own
But someday she'll be old enough to ask me
About her mommy, my Molly, that she's never known
Will she see me cry
Or will she read blame in my eye
Or will I find a way to make it okay
And have the strength to tell her who died
On the day our daughter came into the world
For a moment we were a family of three
On a bright winter's day

Crimefighter

I'm ashamed of all the bad with which we share this world today
To see constantly just a glimmer of the good and it's buried beneath such oppressive pain
Hatred and sinning and anguish and fighting
Where the hell are the good people hiding?
An uphill battle under water when all I wanna do is breathe in
And now that i met you It's just one more sin.
It's a sin not to love you, now that I know you better,
And it's my mission to break through, to bring a storm to fight this weather
And it's a crime.... we're not together
But I'm a crimefighter, baby
It's so lonely at night I don't know why I go at it
vestigial vigilantism purely out of habit
Just when I think my chivalry's subsiding
You gave me a reason to keep on fighting
I want to provide you just one beautiful minute
Wanna make it a better world for you 'cause you're in it
And it's a sin not to love you, now that I know you better,
And it's my mission to break through, to bring a storm to fight this weather
And it's a crime.... we're not together
But I'm a crimefighter, baby

Thunder
04:48
|

|
Asphalt and heat
It's been searing hot and blinding
On this summer street
I got back on my feet
He's been chasing me
Every time I turn I see him
On his rusted dark machine
A metal beast
His musket flailing fast
Conducting an orchestra
of concussive blasts
A bullet grazing past
Muscles burning hot
The gun made awful thunder
as he fired another shot
I had to stop
...Oh, I stopped
I turned around
Shouted to him as I held my ground
Oh, mister monster
You've been chasing me all day
Is there something, anything, I can say
Is there any chance
I could walk away?
Or have I truly found
My way inside a nightmare
Am I in some kind of hell where
There's truly no hope for escape?
And he said
It's more of a carnival
And you're just an animal
We monsters have to have our fun too
And ooh oh, there's thunder for you
I'm coming for you
Better run run run run run run run
No hope for rest
I slowed only as much as I dared
just to catch my breath
Or face certain death
I found a parking lot
Got lost among the cars and wondered
How much time I bought
An alarm went off
Such a shrieking sound
His monster snapped attention
And began to bound my way
I turned around
I turned around
My fear betrayed my plight and he stood there
Savoring the sight of the
Frightened little boy that he had found
I looked up at him
As he trained his gun I spoke again
Are you some kind of demon?
And he said
I'm more of a cannibal and
It's something mechanical
It's just a part of how you made me
And oh ooh, I hunger for you
I'm coming for you
better run run run run run run run
I froze in shock
Our eyes were locked
As the weapon's hammer cocked
I was made of rock
He took aim
I had to dive I tasted asphalt
When the thunder came
The bullet called my name
A shattered spine
Fleshy tatters in a jagged line
And I'm
I'm lying there and all I feel is
Asphalt and heat
It's been searing hot and blinding
On this summer street
I got back on my feet

The Tin Knight
02:48
|
|||
|
The one the townsfolk called "The Tin Knight"
Was a withering warrior who wore old armor
Who captured a child's imagination
And challenged killers and terrors
A terrible creature threatened the kingdom
The king called out to all to conquer the treachery waiting outside
The old tin knight was the only one to answer the call and arise
A child called out to the wall as the knight walked through
"I'm a tin knight too"
"I'll conquer the thunder, the terrors and wonders
I'll tear them asunder
Wild and courageous, I'll win the crusade against
The things I'm afraid of when
When I'm asleep"
The knight went outside the castle walls
In an instant the creature attacked
Chainmaille clinked as it weakened its chinks
Though terribly wounded, the knight was able
To kill it in its tracks
The king then commended the knight's courageous acts
The tin knight wavered on aching knees, cried out, "I won...",
and collapsed
All the townspeople circled around and timidly asked aloud,
"Who will keep the kingdom, who can act as our custodian?"
One of them already knew -
The child cried out to them all, "I'm a tin knight too"
"I'll conquer the thunder, the terrors and wonders
I'll tear them asunder
Wild and courageous, I'll win the crusade against
The things I'm afraid of when
When I'm asleep"
"I'll be a tin knight too"

You will fear us come game time
At the same time it gives you chills
As thousands of us stand
We become "The 12th Man"
Charging right behind the Bills
To the end zone!
To the A-F-C!
To the Super Bowl!
To victory!
We'll keep marching, marching forward
And we're always marching right behind the Bills!
With victory in sight we will yell with all our might
As the Bills make history!

(Intro - American acoustic pop)
Dancing through these album pages
Fingers grazing old picture frames
It's the way that paper memory ages
Yellowing photos of Linda and James
I stand transfixed and stare
It's almost like I was there
If I look closely I can see
How all of this came to be
(Narration 1 - Ukrainian / German folk)
Anna Korlinchek came from Kiev, Ukraine
And Donald Arthur Riker came from Kiel, Germany
They met in the United States, fell in love, and married.
I never knew her, but I have memories of him:
He always called refrigerators 'Frigidaires'
And he always called me 'Snipe'.
There's a photo of the two of them
Leaning against a beautiful brand-new car.
I like to think that it was blue.
...I turn the page...
(Narration 2 - Italian classical)
He was born 'Modesto Tomaso Giuseppe Valentino Savino'
He went by 'Tom' for short.
His family emigrated to America
From a small town called Bari
In the heel of the boot in southern Italy.
He joined the Navy and fought in World War II
And came home to marry his high school sweetheart.
He loves wine and garlic
And cutting hair.
He's 83 years old now, and still works as a barber
Three days a week.
And he golfs the other four.
...I turn the page...
(Narration 3 - Irish folk)
Joyce Kathryn Hanlon's family hailed from
The County of Armagh in Northern Ireland.
She served as a nurse in World War II
And after the war ended,
Her sister married her high school sweetheart's brother
And she married her high school sweetheart.
And the two families became very very close.
She loves laughter so much,
That even when she swears, it sounds adorable.
...and after all this...
(Conclusion - American acoustic pop)
Donald and Anna had a baby boy
Who they called James
Thomas and Joyce, they had a daughter
Linda was her name
Savino met Riker....
Then Linda and James, they had a baby boy...
Looking back, I see traces of my identity:
Lovers, fighters, survivors
And all of them in me
This is my family tree

Senator Kerry, I have a question, and I have a right to know
In 2004 you won the election, but the Right suppressed the vote
They rigged machines, shunned communities; GOP stole the show
How could you concede? Our democracy was dealt a crazy blow!
My candidate betrays me so!
But the facts are hazy, though...
Like your opposition to George W.; the man should be your foe!
And what about his plan to invade Iran? Can you stand to let that go?
I can't believe you refuse to impeach him; as a Yalie you should know
That it seems like these are the acts of a fellow member of Skull & Bones
Oh, thanks for cutting my microphone...
I know I'm being kind of an asshole, but I don't really think I'm doing anything wrong
Get your hands off me; he isn't answering! People, please, just gaze below
His veiled pleasantries to see his secrecy - how he plays the show
Now they're arresting me, I didn't do anything! You don't faze me, no...
Oh, someone help me please, police brutality!
Don't tase me, bro!
Oh, ow, ohh
Please let me go!
Please, let me go!
Just let me go!
Let me go!
