Burn so Bright
03:47

A friendship old enough to drive, go to war, find a wife
get a job, live a life, grow a beard and realize
I must confess I chose to do the crime
of trying too hard to make Anuja rhyme
A
Never-ending,
Unrelenting,
Jubilating,
Aviating,
Deviating, Orchestrating, Super-Hard-to-Imitate thing
Anuja does she burn so bright
to give us all the gift of light
and even in the dark of night
anyone can see
20 hundred 3 and I thought I had to say goodbye
never would the dragonfly ever spy the butterfly again
I must confess I chose to do the crime
of trying too hard to make Anuja rhyme
A
Never-ending,
Unrelenting,
Jubilating,
Aviating,
Deviating, Orchestrating, Super-Hard-to-Imitate thing
Anuja does she burn so bright
to give us all the gift of light
and even in the dark of night
anyone can see
Who knows, who knows, who knows, who knows what tomorrow brings
I can’t believe how fast time flows
A
Never-ending,
Unrelenting,
Jubilating,
Aviating,
Deviating, Orchestrating, Super-Hard-to-Imitate thing
Anuja does she burn so bright
to give us all the gift of light
and even in the dark of night
anyone can see
I grabbed a pencil and drew Kaiya.
And Talia, too.
Before the rising sun's new
and another 20 years are through,
when caterpillars soon grew into butterflies, too
Before you know it, it's true
Before you know it, it's true

A.T.M. Dreams
05:03
|

Lounging around…trying to sleep
Horrible dreams…making me hungry
So, I did what I do when I don’t have the dough
I hopped in the UV, combed out the fro
Sugar Ray, all-day, car radio
Sunny day, my way, highway, I was ready to go
Pulled up to the ATM, started to daydream
about all the green in the money machine
If I had all the green, well, I’d buy me a voice
y’know, like Freddie from Queen, if I had my choice
Or maybe like Mariah, Michael, Marvin, Mraz
Or maybe like Shakira…Emie sing like a spaz
I’m on tonight,
you know my hips don’t lie, and neither do I
The world I love is dying, and it’s making me cry, so
With my voice, I’m makin’ noise, and telling you my own
ATMDreams
If I had all the money in my
ATMDreams
All our days would be sunny
I wish I had all the money in the ATMachine
‘Cause, as I look around, I think I’d like to change a few things
Like the violence and wars, all the settles to score
If I bought us all some gummy bears, we’d have no more war
If I had a million dollars, then I’d buy us a clue
Live less like the Sopranos…more like Scooby-Doo
The homeless guy that’s down the street, I’d give him some loot,
Maybe a couple of bucks…and a mansion to boot
I’d buy the women the confidence to chase the dreams that they set and
buy the men the confidence they need to cheer and respect them
HIV and cancer, diabetes disease
I’d buy the world the cures and have enough left over for Chinese food
ATMDreams
If I had all the money in my
ATMDreams
All our days would be sunny
ATMDreams
If I had all the money in my
ATMDreams
Dreams sweet as honey
But, when all’s said and done, I don’t have the green.
I don’t have all the dollar in the ATMachine
And, all of a sudden, in the blink of an eye all my noble dreams died…
until I realized
The only thing keeping me from saving the world
was this automated oyster, panacea pearl
So, for the sake of world peace, I had to unleash the beast
I kicked the **** screen in, like my name was Batista
money poured out, dollars would fall
I didn’t have a single doubt that I could save us all
And, though, the police and the jury disagreed, so it seems
Can take away my freedom, they can’t take away our dreams
ATMDreams
If I had all the money in my
ATMDreams
All our days would be sunny
ATMDreams
If I had all the money in my
ATMDreams
Dreams sweet as honey
Love is living, don’t resist it
Love is living, don’t resist it
Love is living, don’t resist it
Love is living, don’t resist it
Hey everybody
Come gather around
And listen to the makings
of a story profound
ATMDreams
are not what they seem
I though that the end
Justified the means
Dreams sweet as the honey that I love

OH YEAH!
heya, everyone, it’s Li’l Dr. I
help me welcome to the group the new guy
this is butterflies anonymous
won’t you be a part of this?
tell us all about your problem
hey now, oh my name is dragonfly, and
I don’t belong here
I don’t have a problem
no, you’re totally wrong
I’m just a lame rhythm guitarist
not an addict, I’m an artist
which means one thing, you see
I’m only happy when I’m making **** up
when i give a ****, nothing compares
nothing can stop me
nothing but the weight of the air
I do declare I am filled with despair
because my butterfly net is so bare
I don’t care
I don’t care
I don’t care
I don’t care about
butterfly
butterfly
butterfly whereabouts
like whiskey or wine, I can quit anytime
because I don’t care about her
butterfly wings, butterflying
down by the sea
butterflies are harmless, little innocent things
give her a ring and hear the butterfly sing
oh, another butterfly sting
I got a butterfly bite
butterfly wife?
not on your life!
butterfly words
cut like a butterfly knife
It’s alright, though
I’m more like a moth, so
I’ll sit back and bask in her light
I’m only happy when I’m making **** up
when i give a ****, nothing compares
nothing can stop me
nothing like the weight of the air
but, I declare I am filled with despair
because my butterfly net is so bare
I don’t care
I don’t care
I don’t care
I don’t care about
butterfly
butterfly
butterfly whereabouts
like whiskey or wine, I can quit anytime
because I don’t care about her
I don’t squirm
I don’t turn
I don’t flutter around
I don’t learn
I stand firm behind the love that I’ve found
the dreams of a clown or a king with no crown
a shrine time can never wear down
I’m only happy when I’m making **** up
when i give a ****, nothing compares
nothing can stop me
nothing but the weight of the air
but, I declare I am filled with despair
because my butterfly net is so bare
I don’t care
I don’t care
I don’t care
I don’t care about
butterfly
butterfly
butterfly whereabouts
like whiskey or wine, I can quit anytime
but, I still care about her
I’m only happy when I’m making **** up
when i give a ****, nothing compares
nothing can stop me
nothing like the weight of the air
but, I declare I am filled with despair
because my butterfly net is so bare
I don’t care
I don’t care
I don’t care
I don’t care about
butterfly
butterfly
butterfly whereabouts
is she doing okay? maybe I’ll call her today
because I still care about her
(I don’t care that she don’t know about it. Another song about her.)
I’m only happy when I’m making **** up
when I give a ****, nothing compares
nothing can stop me
nothing but the weight of the air
but, I declare I am filled with despair
because my butterfly net is so bare
(I just hope she don’t get mad about it. The song has already started.)
I don’t care (Lies!)
I don’t care (Lies!)
I don’t care (All lies!)
I don’t care about
butterfly (My!)
butterfly (My!)
butterfly whereabouts (Oh my!)
is she doing alright? maybe an email tonight
’cause I’ll always care about her
(I don’t care that she don’t care I’m there. Anytime anywhere, I’ll be there.
I just hope that she don’t ever doubt it. The line for her love is crowded.)

all is lost
deep inside
can’t escape
spider eyes
all is lost
cannot hide
can’t escape
the fear inside
eight legs, one heart, makes nine
spider eggs inside your mind
she’s unimpressed with space, rhyme, and time
you’re not scared? don’t lie
are you gonna try to run?
try in vain to spoil spider’s fun?
or maybe baby will embrace all that sin
open up and let spider in
well, you better take my advice
before you try to break black loaded dice
you better break a sweat
black heart of ice
you better bite your tongue
think on it twice
so, before you take a chance and ask a spider to bed
you better write your dreams down, ‘cause you might wake up dead.
all is lost
deep inside
can’t escape
spider eyes
heart of a spider
loves like a fighter
web of delusion
dance of confusion

This is a song about sadness
Or a song about hope
I guess it all depends
on how you take what I wrote
So have a quick listen
And make an opinion
and tell me all about it
when I am through
‘cause, your vision is blurry
As you laugh at the tears
They can’t ignore you forever
‘cause you know you’re here
But, one thing is clear
You’re through with the fear
tonight
tonight
It must be illegal
feeling this bad
bittersweet baby
tastes so sad
heresy’s thunder
Your downfall is underway
They all call you different
An outcast they say
Everyone tells you
That you need to change
“But, couldn’t you stay?” you say
Still they all run
away
See, with love you were honest and you paid the price
You offered your friendship they offered advice:
“You get too involved.” Your heart’s too evolved to fight.
Immature phonies, hypocritical kids
They couldn’t have lived with the emptiness you hid
They crave the same drug. They long to be loved. Like you.
It’s true.
Alright.
Vision is blurry as you laugh at the tears
They can’t ignore you forever, ‘cause I know you’re here
So, don’t run away. Say that you’ll stay to fight
Let go of the sadness. Let go of the hope.
It’s all in your hands and the path that you chose
If you make a decision, I’m here to listen
Tell me that you’ve finally found a reason to live.

Tanja's Song
02:24

Remarkable
Remarkable
Someday I dream to be
Remarkable
Remarkable
Someday I dream to be
Now, some say I can’t
That my dreams are a bust
But I know I can’t
And that’s why I must
and maybe someday
and maybe someway
maybe someday they’ll say
“This is Tanja’s song
and whether right or wrong
the girl, she rose above her fear to prove that she was strong
she never quite belonged
and yet she carried on
reaching for the adjective she based her dreams upon”
Remarkable
Remarkable
Someday I dream to be
well, maybe someday
and maybe someway
or maybe it’s all just a dream…

A truth
That never
fails
A life so weak
and frail
It’s the humbling honesty of a beautiful blue sky
As I wonder where beneath this awesome sight my heart will die
And beat its final beat and sigh its final sigh
And as heavy as that thought may be, I feel no need to cry
Because I’m already gone
the boy is gone
Beautiful oblivion
Unbreakably true
Because somebody locked all the windows and doors
that lead out of this room
A truth
That never
fails
A life so weak
and frail
I know, I know, you’re scared to fail, but a life in fear is stale.
So eat a large pizza, visit Paris, and chase the dreams you love
Start loving life, start living love before your turn is done
Sadness can be something cruel when you’re the only one
But, being sad together is a million times more fun
So why don’t you and I
Why don’t you and I
Get tragic together? Yeah…
A truth
That never
fails
A life so weak
and frail
It’s hard to bear
It’s hardly fair
but me…I just don’t care.
It’s the joy of reminiscing over happy times that passed
and the bittersweet reality of never going back
it’s the pain that paralyzes, knowing life will slip away
so we compensate by loving friends and family each day
It’s the feeling of repeating what you never did begin
It’s the folly of succeeding when you know you’ll never win
It’s the irony of knowing what a funny spot we’re in
that you can’t get off this tragic wheel without giving it a spin
A truth
That never
fails (you don’t have to cry anymore)
A life so weak
and frail (you don’t have to cry anymore)
I know I know
you’re scared. it shows
but I swear we’ll make it there (you don’t have to cry)
A truth
That never
fails (embracing oblivion)
A life so weak
and frail (it embraces us, too)
it’s hard to bear (well, at least for the moment…)
it’s hardly fair (…I’ll always be right here for you.)
but me…I just don’t care.
