What it is meant to be
Hey dont take yourself so seriously
life wasnt meant to be complicated
your living like you might breath your last
your living to fast

Things arent so difficult, things arent always how they seem
changing tides and attitudes
realizing there is more to this

You're living life like there is no tomorrow
when you die do you know where you'll go?
things arent really so complicated
when you die do you know where you'll go?

You're trying to make things better
can't figure out why things are getting worse
maybe you just made a few wrong choices
starting over is a chance i'd take

31ST AND MAPLE STREET

One more time I feel like dreaming today
The world needs to declare another holiday
A place where we can go far away
A place where I can be with you if thats ok

I've been feeling this way for such a long time
I just need a break from all these things
So lets go pack our bags, thumbs out on the streets
I'll meet you at 31st and Maple Street

These streets are so cold but i have your company
Your feelings are bold, Its all I need to feel
This is all i need to get me where I need to be
Let's go i'll meet you at 31'st and Maple Street


out of step
I slipped up again cant break the trend
you say that it not a problem cuz we're all the same
i cant say its not a problem i dont want to be like you
you say i dont know anything at all, then who is to blame?

the easiest excuse is, everyone is doing it
the lamest excuse is, everyone is doing it
why oh why should i be apart of it
you say i got to live life to the fullest, im not buyin it

you say you want to make me conform, hold a gun to my head
last night i didnt get any sleep, thought it over in bed
placing trust in someone else's hands, dont think that i can do it
bending backwards to avoid the questions, dont want to deal with it

  best for your life
you cant make sense out of anything
You let others control your life
they take away your beauty
and they smash it apart!

whats best for your life
you can make that choice
no reason to fight
you decide whats right!

you let others rule your mind
everybody tries to bring you down
look in the mirror and deep inside
you decided whats right

Never Ending Kiss
I can see the stars, they sparkle in your eyes
lump in my throat your beauty makes me want to cry
10:45 time to head home once again
pray to God asking what i did to deserve this

i just want to stay one night
one night that i wont miss
a long night to hold you in my arms
tonight i want a never ending kiss

i always wondered if you were ashamed of me
i always wondered why you didnt run away
all i know is that you're all that i could ever want
tonight i want a never ending kiss

Q-Ball
working on


ska song
timmy has.. will have up soon


appreciation
Dedicated to our all-time favorite band - ANTI-FLAG

Daddy came home late again last night
He's workin' over-time cause cash is tight
What else can he do,
But start each day anew

The BCT has built this nation
It's time to recieve our due appreciation
Born into bondage; working for our needs
Cause we've got mouths to feed

Once there was a time when I believed
In the lies of corporate conspiracy:
If you work hard you will get ahead,
The truth is you're a slave until you're dead
