AOK 02:42
Often I wonder when I'm tossing in bed What these thoughts meaning running 'round in my head Well it seems everything is going fine and you're always on my mind It's getting hard to find any reason to complain You and I, we are two separate of the same Each and everyday I feel that I am blessed to possess all that I want and forget about the rest Everyday you say everything is AOK but today I'd say things are perfect in every way You may think that I'm crazy, have a loose screw or two but I feel that I have fallen in love with you

Bromigos 03:16
Summer bike races, well-kept secret places The feeling I get when I see friendly faces We are always on adventure and we can always be found together It's something I can't see It's something that frightens me It's something that I can't believe I'm fighting with myself to find a reason for an hour spent on wasted time My friends are indispensable to say the least Close ties and allied facing enemy lines We don't anything, we know everything, we are confused They make up all the things that I love the most

This line is so long, it hurts my head to think where the front is I'm counting out loud 'til I decide that I'm done with this These people all say, the wait is worth it, what you give is what you get But maybe I'm bored of trying to impress all these hypocrites The feeling won't stay, after it's gone there can be only one way to make it come back and that's the thing that I never want to say I'm feeling weak, I'm feeling great, this song makes my stomach shake and I wouldn't have it any other way, I wish I could hear you say Something in me tells me that we're gonna' stay Lately we've been thinking about running away I've been overwhelmed by all the things that I know I have to do But maybe I'll change, maybe I'll get used to this It's all the stress that surrounds me and the dirty air in the city The people that stare all around me, it's like they've never seen someone happy I'm chasing this feeling that I know I can never have If I stay in this town for much longer, I know that will lead to forever I'm feeling weak, I'm feeling great, this song makes my stomach shake and I wouldn't have it any other way, I wish I could hear you say

Better Off 03:28
I ran barefoot down the street, broken bottles at my feet, weaving in and out the blocks Breathing fast, turn the corner, see the house, run inside, head upstairs, lay my head down for a rest At my best I can't compare You two would make a better pair Same old body, same old hair Same obnoxious, awkward stare What I'm lacking in my looks, I can't make up for anywhere I will go on living Don't expect me to be forgiving 'cause you're the one missing out I will come out stronger Not any longer will you mean anything to me Dead broke, I'm a bum too dumb to become anything that means anything to anyone Dead beat, head down, defeat, all alone with nothing or no one to call my own
6.
Scooby Glue 04:59
Something you don't realize I can see it in your eyes There's someone that you can't let go Forever by your side When I'm sitting home I'm thinking where to turn I contemplate the reasons why I will forever be alone It's just a person with problems just like you and I Soon the weight will shift and cause a break and I will slowly want to die Like glue, you keep on holding us together and anytime I'm feeling weak you come and I remember It's true, I can't believe how I depend on you and when I go through any trouble I turn and look to you You're my glue There are days when I get nervous It's hard to admit I'm feeling overwhelmed and I'm getting sick of it It might come as news but it's hard to choose where to look when times are tough and I'm falling into grooves It's just a person with problems just like you and I Soon the weight will shift and cause a break and I will slowly want to die I depend on you when it comes to any problem that I can't solve but you're not willing to be my glue
7.
New Persona 03:18
I'm taking on a new persona for everyone to see and wonder who I have become No more late nights, parking lot fights, or moments where you can't hear what I said because I mumble far too often I will follow my routines and what my peers will ask of me and every time I don't agree, I will shut my mouth and turn up the TV From now on, I'll try to be sociable at parties and walk around asking who's heard the newest track by Kanye and they'll accept me faster than 1, 2, 3 and then I'll get with my best friend's girlfriend just to say I did but I know it will never last I'm treading water A cynic and a pessimist, afraid to say I'm not over this and only time can tell if I will change but I can tell you now that I'm gonna' stay the same no matter what I don't want to be like you, just face it You're a disgrace and a racist You can't take my problems seriously and frankly, I can't take it If there's one thing that I do know: you won't be so cool for long Soon enough we'll all get sick of you and your sappy, crappy songs But for now, I'll keep ignoring you and hanging with my friends Because I know my life isn't bad as it seems
8.
I'm finding out I don't even know who I am I could stare out of my window, across the street and into yours and the feeling that arose would be something indescribable I think that I might know my neighbors and I'm pretty sure that they might know me too But the basis of my knowledge is totally flawed and I could guarantee that theirs is too and I have no plans for retirement but I pretty much know what I'll do with my life after my bones grow Nothing I could feel would resonate more than the moment that you told me to ignore them when they tell me "no" I'm finding out what I really like to talk about Sitting in circles with my friends, discussing where we want to be What we need and everything we see In the air I can feel you looking over me I see you in a photograph and envy you subconsciously but then I reflect and realize that my life gives me no reason to ever be upset I'll take what I can before the rain comes I'll face the consequences while there are none Forgetting who I am is what makes life fun Unaware of all the changes that I know will come

about

Deep in the caves of Southern Afghanistan, man gave birth to one Benjamin Martines. Raised by wolves, he traveled across Asia, through Europe, and swam across the Atlantic Ocean on the back of a dolphin to Long Island. Along the way, he mated with a sea turtle thus birthing a type of music which was influenced by aquatic-love-making sounds, seagull excrement, and salt water. Benjamin then took his wonderful creation and brought it to many areas across the island. Little did he know, his creation for which he was once criticized, became a phenomenon known as "Good People".
