Away
Verse 1 I've been watching you for a while now It sounds sinister But it's far from being devious It's not in my nature to be You're the one who is closer To being on the dark side Like a hurricane, what you do is unsettling Verse 2 You think of yourself as royalty Destined to rule over everything including me Regardless of your beliefs I'll never bow down to you The crown you've placed upon your head Is as fake as faux fur Bridge 1 Don't come to me like a b-itch Your harassment is out of style I reject your drama You won't inflict trauma Bridge 2 My blood doesn't boil As I've reached a new level of stillness My voice doesn't carry the undertones of a call to arms Transcending your influence was a struggle But, ultimately, was successful Chorus Tales of loneliness and misery are a dime a dozen If you flood this town with your tears I'll build a cruise ship And travel to where you don't reside I must always be away from you Written by B.

Astray
Verse 1 Let any type of animal feast on their bodies They have descended to their level So, it's apropos Listen to their screams of horror And watch as they're devoured If that isn't epic, then tell me what is They were chosen for greatness But lived as beggars and losers A thousand times removed from the original source A repetitive mode and regressing Unable to dream of dancing with the stars Water and oxygen were wasted on them Verse 2 Compromising positions were orchestrated and accepted Attention was the most valuable currency Lack of shame and lack of outrage Were visible in sound and thought Males acted like eunuchs While the females ran wild Bridge The foundation of justice is self-respect But when you hate yourself You essentially become worthless Fear of reality is pervasive As anything can be weaponized Chorus What they perceived as being salvation Ultimately failed them Everything ranging from education to religion As cities crumbled to the ground And hunger consumed more bodies The sins of the ancestors were recycled An epidemic of broken spirits Was the general state of being The art of living was lost to history Most diseases were incurable And most battles were unwinnable Responsibility for failure was passed around They've gone astray and nothing can save them Written by B.

Untitled
Verse 1 Without sympathies or indulgences The view is much clearer Always moving around with the world Not tossed about like a rag doll Using the ground as a platform for elevation Hands untied and a body full of determination Verse 2 Partially n-ude with senses and expressions A history of complications and servitude Creating a new character and motives The setting is the same But everything is as different as black and white Ignore gossip folks and those seething with jealousy Bridge 1 Undoing and becoming Attaching and going through Cycles of chaos and clarity The mind in overdrive Bridge 2 To fight is to be one step closer to victory To win is to solidify a place among the mighty To implement acquired knowledge is to be wise To accept what's within is a form of creation The future is a grand mystery Chorus 1 Nothing is completely secure The weak and the evil have loosened the screws The screws of balance and of liberty Fear doesn't have to be constricting amid ongoing feuds Breathing to die is ignoring attainable realities It's useless and it's wasteful It's shameful and it's tragic Lessons are taught for the purposes of learning To grow over and replant roots Chorus 2 Nothing is completely secure The weak and the evil have loosened the screws The screws of balance and liberty Fear doesn't have to be constricting amid ongoing feuds Breathing to die is ignoring attainable realities Written by B.

Edge of Nowhere
Verse 1 Teenyboppers dancing and dying For the latest bands and all things trendy With fragrances, Mohawks and skinny jeans Smartphones displaying more intelligence than them Mommies more limited than they'll ever admit to Frazzled and burnt out in the modern age New inventions create new complications Don't be surprised if we're replaced by robots Verse 2 As we watch procedurals, we become more clueless Snapping out of bad habits is difficult But if we prevail, the reward is great We'll know that we can overcome our addictions Sleeping with the enemy is what your daddy did Until driven away and banished by the state Reparations are never paid to the youth We can't hide from them They see us fully and completely Verse 3 Activism in dwindling supply Unions caving in Will the boss man win? Aliens are seen as the last great hope The antidote to every illness and conflict If you drink the Kool-Aid You'll drain yourself of blood Living in a mad house will be your new home When things become q-ueer and more unrelatable Only the designers can create new styles of living Chorus Let's all join hands and chew bubblegum Make a s-ex tape and gossip all day When we're brand new, we're unlimited But everything becomes tainted Sparks shine a bit dimmer The light is less vibrant And we're pushed closer to the edge The edge of nowhere Written by B.

Unmasked
Verse 1 My people and I love you We accept you, we worship you Even though you resemble our oppressors We always get down on our knees And pray to you When we're afraid, we call unto you When we're pissed off We use you as an attack dog Like a cafeteria, we pick and choose What we want to consume Now almost all of us are full of your teachings Verse 2 You're an incomplete being in a fully formed world Seeking power to dominate over others Constructing illusions is at the core of your culture You're not the standard Even though many believe that you are You'll use anything if it's advantageous For destabilization, you'll create movements Your inquisitiveness is without boundaries As a foreigner, you're established to every land and sea Verse 3 Not many of us dissolve the rhetoric Even fewer of us challenge the icons If history is in repetitive modes Then the cycles of madness are never-ending Can we neutralize artificial ideologies? Can we dismantle the houses of inferiorities? When we're who we are We're settled into the truth It's the center of everything The ultimate authority Chorus Reinvention and reincarnation are coming into fruition Displaced thoughts and images are becoming more clearer Through decontamination and healing You've been unmasked Written by B.

Man (Just Do It)
Verse 1 You're taller, you're stronger, you're faster It's incumbent on you to be wiser The ways of the world rest on your shoulders However heavy it may seem at times Responsibility is expected of you It's always in your face You can't ignore it Like a stampede of elephants in the center of town Verse 2 You're always surrounded by supporters and villains You'll be congratulated while others will throw shade The power you generate and the power you exert Will guarantee respect and the bending to your will You can't be reckless in your position If that occurs, your weaknesses will be exploited Your odyssey will be in jeopardy Verse 3 You're led to believe that boys don't cry And when you come of age You realize that fairy tales are glorified lies Suppressing what you experience is not conducive To a healthy state of mind If balance is to be achieved Senses must function properly You don't have the luxury of dreaming To being a robot Everything will come down to the wire And you'll be one decision away from demise Bridge There's no such thing as luck What you get is what you receive Be the author of a narrative To which you subscribe to When you're in control, you're always in demand Chorus You're a man, just do it Don't waste your time with gossip or flakes Walk like you've got a big d-ick Look to the sky and reach for it Be prepared to fight To protect what you create, what you own All eyes are on you And every moment is yours to lose Written by B.

Big Love
Verse 1 In and out of love Losing and reclaiming your senses Head over feet and feet deeply immersed in hot water On top of the world, ruling like a king But when it's no longer simple, you've been dethroned Stop and smell the roses because nothing last forever But you promised to cherish and obey Until your last breath A fool among the suckers Nothing more than ordinary When attention is given, time comes to a halt Verse 2 Rocking and rolling to sublime, classic vibes Lost in the energies created from tribal sounds The fatherland gave way to all that exist To whom much is given, much is required It goes beyond skin As it comes from deep within Electricity is generated when you're whole and complete But there's an epidemic of brokenness And confusion is pervasive As you're afforded many options Pleasure blends into pain Verse 3 You're tired of walking with an abundance of emotions Being pulled in every direction Is more exhausting than it seems Comfort is in small supply As most remain home and dry With common minds and lack of fortitude All that they are has been inherited Without shame or outrage Thoughts and actions are stagnant Desire for recognition and peace lingers on It goes unfulfilled Chorus As natural as water and air As complex as the solar system As powerful as a nuclear weapon Big love, big love, big love The living force in every creature The cause of every effect The only thing real to all Big love, big love, big love Written by B.

Vibes
Verse 1 So mesmerized, completely hooked On your breath and your sounds There are no words to describe What I get from seeing you Top to bottom, in and out You're joyfully different Fly me to the moon And let's live on every planet Verse 2 When I drink from your cup of cool I'm radically energized It's like the sun lives in me And every need is fulfilled Inner storms have been calmed Peace has taken hold The benefits you deliver are genuine and whole Bridge When every thought and cell are in sync And the expressions you create are pure Whatever force is generated Will be greater than you realize You'll develop hungry eyes Chorus You've mastered the bass in your mind Teach me how to multiply the vibes And to let it flow with my blood You're an engaging mystery Who's able to bring forth wonder and spectacles Teach me how to multiply the vibes And to let it flow with my blood Written by B.

The Young And The Restless
Verse 1 Gathered around a table In a well-designed boardroom Ivy leaguers laying out a plan With opinions and data collected from various sources This information is as valuable as gold There's a great desire to be still in body and mind Suits and scientists are acting accordingly Women will criticize each other for their shortcomings Men will mock the ones who don't measure up To their standards No one goes unscathed A nip and a tuck With a radical change in values Is what the professionals have agreed upon Verse 2 Serial slashers are well-compensated Their stock on the celebrity index increases As lips become thicker, so do their wallets The authentic movement is teaching the young To embrace themselves as they are But the fake industries work overtime To create inferiority complexes With funds that seem to be unlimited This battle will be long and arduous The professionals and simple folks Will not give up the fight There is just too much at stake Bridge With futures as bright as the sun And high optimism The agendas of men are put into effect Everyone has a role to play In this game of life As the young and the restless Chorus 1 We always want to be young To be fresh and be full of life Time is never on our side Still, we always fight against it Are we worthy of the efforts? Do the ends justify the means? What is the price to pay for a complete renewal? Chorus 2 We always want to be young (This won't be easy) To be fresh and be full of life (It will get ugly) Time is never on our side Still, we always fight against it (Give the people what they want) Are we worthy of the efforts? (This won't be easy) Do the ends justify the means? (It will get ugly) What is the price to pay for a complete renewal? (We're the young and the restless) Written by B.

One of The Many
Verse 1 Tied to a much larger group But claiming a lesser status The dominant force has relegated me to an inferior position These confines are very restrictive across the land I inhabit After all, these borders were created by someone else Verse 2 Nothing ventured, nothing gained Habits are comforting Giving away what's valuable For something that's worthless Deficits are constructed and disseminated like candy It's no surprise that self-esteem is at an all-time low Verse 3 I'm qualified to be the architect of my odyssey There are no short-cuts or safe routes to take But it's necessary to explore beyond the maze That has tarnished bodies and spirits I may not be successful in transforming my environment After all, this struggle has always been eternal Bridge 1 I've heard tales of abuse Heard tales of torment I've seen the look of disgust Seen the look of utter contempt Throughout seasons and generations nothing has changed I acknowledge reality without accepting the way that things are Bridge 2 I've experienced distress Experienced dissatisfaction I've known sorrow and pain Known frustration and helplessness Throughout seasons and generations nothing has changed I acknowledge reality without accepting the way that things are Bridge 3 I've longed for justice and peace of mind Longed for contentment I've acquired knowledge and sound advice Acquired weight and skills Throughout seasons and generations nothing has changed I acknowledge reality without accepting the way that things are Chorus I'm one of the many who isn't complacent I'm one of the many who speak out Against the conditions to which I'm all too familiar with Believing in obvious lies is what weak people do Taking things at face value is reserved for the naive I want to rise above my artificial birthright Written by B.
