Fratboy, why you gotta exist? Fratboy, what’d you put in the mix? Fratboy, why’d you drink so much? Fratboy, why you gotta touch? Fratboy, what’d you do to pass? Fratboy, what’d you put in your ass? Fratboy, what’d you do that chick? Fratboy, what’d you do to my drink? “Fuck you and your college” -Daydrunks Fratboy, what’d you do that chick? Fratboy, what’d you do to my drink? Fratboy, what’d you do to pass? Fratboy, what’d you put in your ass? Fratboy, why’d you drink so much? Fratboy, why you gotta touch? Fratboy, what’d you put in the mix?

I got enough, it’s all I need to use I outlined every little thing I knew Fill in the blanks That’s who you are I can recall after all this time The way her hair and her halo shined Fill in the blanks Connect the dots with the stars I don’t mind you living in my head But I know you’re gone and you’d rather be dead Given my rib bone to make her from She and I are one Fill in the blanks What’s mine is yours She is my puppet but I am a slave To my savior, sweet McKay Fill in the blanks I’ve been reformed I don’t mind you living in my head But I know you’re gone and you’d rather be dead I don’t mind you living in my head like this You don’t exist but I’m so alone Let me worship you I’ll take you to the altar Where I gave up my heart And watch me sacrifice my soul

57 baby, I’m in pain You know the way things went at the end of the play To think it might not happen really made me sad Because you know I really need it, need it, need it bad I don’t care what you think of me You can’t make me cry like a falling leaf I don’t care if he saves the world I just wanna see him get that girl You better get that girl And then I saw them on the balcony K.I.S.S.I.N.G. You don’t know what it means to me K.I.S.S.I.N.G. I saw them on the balcony K.I.S.S.I.N.G. You don’t know what it means to me K.I.S.S.I.N.G. I was crying because it was the end So bittersweet, there was nothing said 23 hours, maybe 24 You know I really, really, really, really need some more Gimme something gotta fill the void You know I need more love, wanna hear their voices Lyralocke, may you rest in peace You gave me everything I need All I need And then I saw them on the balcony K.I.S.S.I.N.G. You don’t know what it means to me K.I.S.S.I.N.G. I saw them on the balcony K.I.S.S.I.N.G. You don’t know what it means to me K.I.S.S.I.N.G. And then I saw them on the balcony K.I.S.S.I.N.G. You don’t know what it means to me K.I.S.S.I.N.G. K.I.S.S.I.N.G. K.I.S.S.I.N.G. K.I.S.S.I.N.G.

If I gave you all my love Would you take it or would you judge? Or would you tell me that I’m still your man? Would you tell me that I’m still your man? If I said I was sad Don’t tell me that I ought to be mad Just tell me that I’m still your man Please tell me that I’m still your man Pump, pump, pump me Pump, pump me, pump me up If I tell you how I feel Would I lose my appeal? Or would you tell me that I’m still your man? Would you tell me that I’m still your man? If I tell you what I need Baby whatcha gonna think of me? Would you tell me that I’m still your man? Would you tell me that I’m still your man? Pump, pump, pump me Pump, pump me, pump me up If I call you in the night Saying, “Baby, I can’t get my mind right" Would you tell me that I’m still your man? Would you tell me that I’m still your man? If I wake up from a dream And tell you all the pretty things I see Would you tell me that I’m still your man? Would you tell me that I’m still your man? Pump, pump, pump me Pump, pump me, pump me up

You better put it away before it hurts you You better try to reframe, your mind tricked you Your thoughts aren’t your own, they’re just your fears Your reality is not real

Picking up the pieces trying to make it all fit Wrote myself a story just to read and be convinced I’m filling in the blanks and I’m checking off the list “Here I am,” I cried in vain, can’t let it fade away Picking up the pieces trying to put it back together Counted by the days, but I counted on forever Radio silence is a face that screams, “never” “Here I am,” I cried in vain, can’t let it fade away All the words that I wanna say Ricochet around off the sides of my brain Running out of space for all the rest of my thoughts Thinking about the things I gotta try to get across Really thought I had it all and then I got lost “Here I am,” I cried in vain, can’t let it fade away Running out of time to keep a fleeting hope alive Clinging to and coping with these fantasies and lies Improvising memories and saying both our lines “Here I am,” I cried in vain, can’t let it fade away Stopped to watch my emotions sway Didn’t you know I lost my way All the words that I wanna say Ricochet around off the sides of my brain Talking to the future girl, “Why can’t you be like that?” Trying to find a better person but I just can’t Once you get the best the rest is bound to feel flat “Here I am,” I cried in vain, can’t let it fade away Talking to the future you, “But I don’t understand I did the things you asked me to and grew into a man” The things I can’t control keep driving me mad “Here I am,” I cried in vain, can’t let it fade away Feeling like I’m just a little too late Why you? Why now? Why can’t it change? Stopped to watch my emotions sway Didn’t you know I lost my way All the words that I wanna say Ricochet around off the sides of my brain

I’m gonna build you a sanctuary I’m gonna fill it with the things you love And when you’re inside I’ll be standing guard I’m gonna build you a great big castle And you can rule over me I just wanna be in the presence of your majesty I must be a king, because you’re my queen I’m gonna build you an escalator (an escalator) So you can go to your higher truth (truth) I’d be surprised if you don’t grow your wings, but just in case you can have my parachute I’m gonna build us a brand new world (a brand new world) But I need a little help from you (you) It takes time but I know we’re gonna see it through I got time, I got time for you I’m gonna build you an aviary So you can stretch your angel wings I wanna hear every word my bird can sing I’m gonna build you a sanctuary I’m gonna build you a sanctuary

Well, I’ve been alone going on three years I need some kind of woman to get me back in gear Before I go walking down the street singing Heeeeeey-ey-ey-eeeey-eyyyy Are you looking for love? Heeeeeey-ey-ey-eeeey-eyyyy Are you looking for love? Hey Hey Hey Don’t you dig me babe? Hey Hey Hey You start to get real tired but you just can’t sleep When you’re as lonely as me, baby A couple hours feels like a couple of weeks when there’s no one to please Aww, that’s why I’m singing Heeeeeey-ey-ey-eeeey-eyyyy Are you looking for love? Heeeeeey-ey-ey-eeeey-eyyyy Are you looking for love? Hey Hey Hey Don’t you dig me babe? Hey Hey Hey Aww, you got me singing Heeeeeey-ey-ey-eeeey-eyyyy Are you looking for love? Heeeeeey-ey-ey-eeeey-eyyyy Are you looking for love? Hey Hey Hey Don’t you dig me babe? Hey Hey Hey Won’t you please, please stay? Hey Hey Hey Don’t leave me baby, now Hey Hey Hey

Shine On 06:00
Hello? Are you feeling alone? Is it something in your mind and out of your control? A hole inside your heart? A question in your soul? You can put away your books now, nobody knows You’re trapped in a world you can’t understand, and you’re scared of its indifference You’ve spent all your teenage years on just trying to cope with it And every deathbed has its secrets But it could never tell You’ve just gotta go find out for yourself Some people keep score, like you can win or lose Some people say we got it made, but the next day they’ll say, “we’re all doomed” Some people keep judging themselves Trying to figure out if they’re going to Heaven or hell Even though you and I and they know, you never can tell It’s just out of our control So just shine on Shine on, you marvelous moonbeam Blaze on, you glorious ray of sunshine You can make it if you try Some people climb mountains like there’s something at the top Some people build castles just to sink into the swamp Some people would trade it all Just for that one special someone Is there somebody out there? Is there anybody? Anywhere? Shine on Shine on, you marvelous moonbeam Fly on, you wondrous winged angel Life doesn’t have to be so painful Just shine on
