Verse 1 Colour is size, size is everything Take a number and get in line The glory you possess is in high demand And you'll share it with all who are intrigued An undeniable wonder of the world To look at, to hold, and to have A snake and a dove rolled into one package Lay it on thick and be unrelenting Verse 2 Many don't give a damn about your ageless plight Your concerns are ignored Blending in is what you're expected to do Although you're failing You reject your innate capabilities And subscribe to nonsensical dogma A half-being kneeling before the mighty Begging for scraps and for sympathy If only you knew your origins and purpose The world as we know it would be forever changed Verse 3 Without justice, there's no peace of mind Unscramble your brains and reclaim yourself Being a clown won't get you far away From the distractions and pitfalls which surround you When you're presented with playing by the rules or taking short-cuts Choose wisely Moments reverberate beyond breath and sound Like a roller coaster, they keep pushing forward Chorus A spectrum, a state of mind, a group You're the master and it's the subject An institution to maintain and to destroy You're the challenger of bodies and minds Written by B.

Verse 1 Addicted to lemons instead of guys named Don Refusing to be tainted by the personalities of others Worshipping spices instead of white Jesus The pot has been stirred and its hotter than cayenne pepper Swimming in clean water instead of watching TV Being physically active will stimulate my mind Accepting myself while rejecting self-help gurus Doctor [fill in the blank] can lecture someone else Soaking up sunlight instead of bad habits Being filled with the warmth of the light and wanting more Verse 2 Stuffing my face with books instead of rice and beans I won't be obese and I'll be well-informed Recognizing who enemies are and keeping them close to me Like a game of snakes and ladders You're one step away from being bitten Putting on costumes to keep me warm Instead of hiding from myself and the rest of the world Selling the truth instead of bodies and lies Purity and honesty are a forgotten art Like an ancient city, it's waiting to be uncovered When it's personal, it's priceless Knowing what to keep and discard Beginning as a caterpillar then becoming a butterfly Verse 3 Using information as a weapon instead of guns and bombs When it's accurate and concise, it can cut through lies and deception Like the strongest spider web preventing a stampede From trampling over everything that's pure and precious Accepting history for the way it is Instead of sweeping it off its feet and romanticizing it Even though it can be altered and casually dismissed I'll keep searching for what's real and dismiss all that's fake Verse 4 Learning how to play chess instead of how to hate Being logical and strategic when dealing with differences Catching flies with honey instead of a cold from germs Jumping over obstacles and relishing in victory Effects from a thought can outlast the beating of a heart If I'm careful enough What I do will be replicated and improved upon Being the king of my domain without wearing a crown Sovereign in mind, body, and soul Chorus No desperate need for superiority I am who I am, I know what I know You can't appease me with ponies I'll reject your lollipops I'll ride my own wave No matter how large or small Written by B.

Life As We Know It
Verse 1 If you're fast, they'll chase after you If you're slow, they'll run over you If you're weak, they'll bury you into the ground If you're strong, they'll try to wrestle with you If you're fat, they'll poke you with pins If you're skinny, they'll shove sandwiches in your mouth If you're curious, they'll purchase books for you If you're indifferent, they'll pity you The scales of life, the spectrum To which everything is measured upon Verse 2 If you're tall, they'll want to cut your legs off If you're short, they'll want to sit on your head If you're funny, they'll want you to entertain them If you're stoic, they'll treat you like a robot If you're black, they'll have no compassion for you If you're white, they'll send you to the moon If you're gay, they'll want you to be a clown If you're depressed, they'll name pajamas after you If you're cool, they'll think of you as arrogant If you're awkward, they'll want to trip you over The wheels of time, the journey To which everyone is struggling on Verse 3 If you're se-xually active, they'll think of you as a s-lut If you're a virgin, they'll want you to live in basements If you're famous, they'll want to break into your house If you're obscure, they'll think of you as worthless If you're right, they'll want to punish you If you're wrong, they'll welcome you into their club If you're free, they'll want to limit your options If you're stuck, they'll rejoice with glee The scales of life, the spectrum To which everything is measured upon The wheels of time, the journey To which everyone is struggling on Bridge It's difficult to distinguish between animals and humans Being the sole inhabitant of an island is a recurring dream There's only so many grits one can cook before insanity prevails Chorus You've got to keep on walking Act like a freight train And roll over all things and those who get in your way No regret, no remorse as you disintegrate in a dog eat dog world This is life as we know it Written by B.

Close your eyes and give me your land In return I'll give you glorified lies No need to starve when I have all the food Display loyalty and you'll get to eat Necessities will be at your disposal So long as you agree with me You'll get to brush your teeth and cover your as-s Pretty please forgive me if that sounds crass You're too sensitive but I can help to butch you up Put you in a ring with a prize fighter Charge people lots of money to see the spectacle If your ear is bitten off Do the same to the other guy By helping me you're helping yourself Your assistance will go a long way By making you a better person and enriching your soul Clap your hands and bear witness with me As I speak the truth ever so loudly Every word I say is from on high Don't reject me for I'm the messenger Syllables spill out like water from a tap Gather all the buckets and have them filled Time is always of the essence Sadly, it waits for no man We could go on and on about how things should be Indulge ourselves in wasteful fantasies But those luxuries are bestowed on children And it's up to us to teach them the right way What goes around may come back your way And if it does, you better duck You'll have to come to terms with your actions Embrace accountability as gracefully as you can Stand tall, keep your head up high For I'm always by your side If you ask for forgiveness, you shall receive it A judgement-free environment is an optimal one I'll teach you compassion and empathy And my personal brand of philosophy You don't have to travel the world to get what you need The cup of wisdom is now in your hands You've been dehydrated Drink up and fill your soul Goodness will purify you in profound ways It has the ability to outlast your bones The future is here and now What you make of it is everlasting No need to knock on wood if you do as you're told Foolish beings have been bought and sold But you're wise enough to understand the gift you've been given Going down is not an option You do your best to live a good life It gets more challenging as the days pass And surrendering becomes appealing Follow my lead and you'll eventually see That what I've explained to you is real I'm interested in your well-being I'm interested in your healing A comprehensive approach without restrictions A metamorphosis of every cell and thought Clean out your ears and eyes For I have the cure you seek The search for tomorrow begins now You're young and on the edge of adventure Place your feet in my hands And I'll release you into the sky You'll go beyond the clouds And experience what's on the other side Written by B.

Verse 1 Typical journeys beyond the sun And roller-coasters in my heart I've rejected love so many times that I've lost count Black daggers and white knives Within an inch of my eyes and hands Always on guard and never surprised Trust is reserved for fools Catastrophic interactions and fallout like no one has ever seen History is made and revised The mind is the ultimate prize Verse 2 Mad men and little women Working together behind the scenes Pushing paper and creating lies These are the elders to despise With one foot forward, a dozen steps back Kicked repeatedly when on the ground Yelling fire is more advantageous To getting the help I need The weak beg, the smart take for themselves If the lights are red, they change it to green Reinvention is a necessary skill To learn and to implement Verse 3 A rebel of unknown status Refusing the poison that's presented to me Still, some things go unnoticed The senses are compromised In an era of confusion and angst The lack of fortitude is the centrepiece If I have no standards, I'll accept everything Blending in like snowflakes in blizzards All roads eventually lead to somewhere My main goal is to achieve peace of mind Nothing is free, sacrifices must be made To learn is to live with failure Chorus 1 Bumps and bruises come and go The healing process is sometimes slow Naturality gains popularity But no one knows who I am Chorus 2 Distractions and deadlines come and go Personal improvement is sometimes slow Psychology gains popularity But no one knows who I am Chorus 3 Thoughts and actions come and go The passage of time is sometimes slow Marathons gain popularity But no one knows who I am Written by B.

Out of Time
Verse 1 Hide your husbands, hide your boyfriends I'm coming for them They've reached the age of maturity And now they'll be used and abused Subjected to harsh treatments Treated worse than dogs Rites of passages are common And this particular one is a favourite of mine Through their loss and through their pain I'll gain everything that's been promised to me Verse 2 When you control nothing Everything will eventually work against you Inflation and technology are never to blame For that, you'll have to use a mirror Your inheritances have been squandered And your sole objective is to hide from competitors The dreams of your country haven't been realized You took your eyes off the prize But still you complain You are confused despite what most people may say Whose life is it anyway? It's yours and you've ruined it Verse 3 Children gather around for your daily dose of madness and misery You'll have to fend for yourselves In a world that's been described as being unforgiving They preach that education will be your saving grace But it's just another religion The only thing your elders can do for you Is pat you on the head and feed you fairy-tales Chorus When you're out of breath You won't be immune to the effects of time and space Only fools reject the inevitable Every road has been marched on And now you're out of time Written by B.

The One That Got Away
Verse 1 You're as lovely as a rose That I want to pluck out of the ground Place inside a box and throw into the sea Watch it drift away And be glad by what I've done Verse 2 What you presented to me was nothing more than a dream A fantasy concocted in your laboratory I was your experiment Someone to observe and analyze My flesh and my bones were not seen as important to you Wants and needs were driven underground I was swallowed whole and rolled around inside you Verse 3 I'm the one who got away from your influence From all that you have created Chains were broken and new thoughts are forming All my senses are revitalized I never knew that I could be vibrant Chorus Broken promises led to the realization That you were being truthful about yourself At that point, denial ran its course You captured the spotlight as I viewed from the sidelines It was like I was a trinket for your shallow life So I become the one that got away Written by B.

The Black Parade
Verse 1 Spend money with your oppressor A daily ritual Hold your hand out for crumbs and be grateful Adjust your attitude and beliefs to fit the norm Born without privileges and learning through the storm Solo and so low in a wicked system A product of mistakes and trauma A damaged item Bridge 1 You're f-ucked up and you don't realize it Acclimation to dysfunction has been successful Groomed from conception to engage in destruction Your output is a manifestation of self-hatred Verse 2 Golden opportunities evaporating into the air Assumed connections weakening amid controversy Self-constraint doesn't exist When microphones are shoved in your face Giving away secrets and customs for momentary gain Forming crucial bonds is undesirable An island unto yourself What you dread the most won't cease to be 21st century reality Bridge 2 You're incomplete in a broken world A collection of disappointment and depression A psyche passed through generations You're unsettled and usually on edge Verse 3 Fallen from grace and worshipping an external force Mirrors have been shattered into unrecognizable pieces Reasoning in short supply An abundance of emotions The black parade is always seen but rarely acknowledged Chorus You're f-ucked up and you don't realize it Daring and dangerous You're incomplete in a broken world Detached and declining The black parade - what's constructed and flawed The black parade - reflections of existence Written by B.

We
Verse 1 We are not candy, we are not animals We're originators of a land That's been used and abused We are serious about our liberation We're disengaging from creations Which have been designed to harm us Nothing is more important than truth and independence The authority of our lives What we choose to believe in It's what we worship It's what we try to manifest regularly Without it, we're epically hollow And far from who we should be Perfecting the skills of listening and thinking Will determine the path of our journey And our eternal status Verse 2 Brain-washing is a practice we engage in To rid ourselves of the junk That's been accumulated over the years The notions of inferiority were accepted and taught And now are rejected They are banished from our breath and sounds From our thoughts and behaviour If it's not important, then it's not worth trying Something to ignore, something to forget And to not be bothered with We've been carrying the heavy weight of frustration and anger Our experiences were being tainted And our senses were compromised Verse 3 There are consequences to having nothing To letting anything affect you To suppressing your natural abilities What you give is ultimately what you get So give all that you can to yourself Be exceedingly generous There are rules to follow, plans to conceive of Whatever condition you're in You'll need confidence for elevation Chorus We will be healthy We will be mighty again We will express ourselves in productive and profound ways We will be intelligent We will be compassionate We will learn how to be human again Written by B.
