Does This Effectively Hide My Thunder? - by Brian Vernon Said i know who i am's not who they want me to be was never good with a tie or the idea of greed perpetuating a lie, a false ideology that me or money's worth more than all you, my family when those who raised me up right were bent or broken by grief got rescued by my friends did not become all that i hate we've failed for so long now to pledge our own identity there's pride in knowing my soul has never been on a receipt ------------------------------------------------ Do you know who you are or who you don't want to be? when you get cast to the side because they don't want to see anyone in their play who acts like you or me well I've read the reviews & I'd rather be free Take the books they used to grow us, leave the pages where they lie, tear the letters words & phrases, leaving nothing to decry, all this empty, all this soulless, written history of why, we must aspire without condolence to be birds that cannot fly, we are more than what they made us it's ok cause you are with us --YOU ARE ONE OF US--

Meat Coffin 04:09
Meat Coffin - by: Ryan Hailey My time as a mime was the time of my life, Time as a mime was the scene of a crime I invented was to communicate my mind, I invented ways to communicate with time I am not so sure what is wrong & what is right, I can turn the air into chicken finger wine I am not so sure what is wrong & what is right, I can turn the air into whatever you like I can return in whatever state you like, My time as a mime was the best time of my life I know that a hand can’t last forever, same with a band, they’re hard to keep together We’re floating in the wind like a bunch of little feathers, part of it depends on conditions of the weather You don’t seem to like my hands, you’re offended by the way I dance I trapped myself in a box for you to complain how you can see through it There’s a pie in the sky but you say I’m out of my mind, I’m a mime, I’m a mime, I’m a mime mime mime PIE! Only so many times I can makes the same signs I crashed my car… I was dead But it was actually a near-death experience that I had in my head There was mcdonalds… & waterfalls of Mountain Dew & Scooby Doo cartoons were always projected up on the walls There was also Satan… He said, “Hello” He said it was, “finally nice to meet the person that I look up to the most.” What does that mean? What does that mean for me? And when I woke up & it was the year one million thousand ten, could not quite tell what was real & what was not pretend Am I a mime in my real life or am I just a human?

Mearl Purvis & Reince Preibus' Hug & Tug Daycare - by Brian Vernon & Patrick Hitt I once heard myself say, "I think I'm gonna get even with everyone who used me by using other people." & i was ready to grind bone, watch them bleed what was owed no keepsake would have damned me, nor fingerprints or dentistry -Chorus- Forgive all who've ever wronged you, be the change you want to last Don't measure every breath & every step, no matter the wind you are the mast don't regret when you were bolder, & don't live in the past You were born to bend not to be broken, no matter the wind you are the mast, no matter the wind you are the mast I once heard a girl say, "I think that would be amazing if you could forgive everything, including that feeling." She brought me back to port & then some, blindsided from the starboard She likes mixing paint & MCS, I hide my heart in her ashes -Chorus- Too many words to write any down hope who i was is in the lost & found Will it be ok when you find me instead? All they wrote about me won't be read I didn't know how to react to the storm of what my friends did No matter the reason nor rhyme, part of me is more ego & id Some paint in the snow kept my tools in the shed Hear my confession of all i did in my head

Where’s My Bandit Hat? – by Brian Vernon Hey, hey I know you, you’re the awesome kid I go to school with at my school You play with me at recess & you sit by me at lunch, when I ask you what is cool about me, you say, “There’s a bunch” That time I wore a tablecloth instead of a raincoat, you told me all the mean kids sink but we would always float When sirens ring & people scream for every fire drill, you always help me stay calm & I know you always will For Show & Tell I brought a rock & I had named it “Wayne,” then you found Wayne a pinecone friend & named it Margaret Yang When I had lost my backpack but we found it in the trash, I broke my pencil, you said, “No” & made me a moustache I miss my Mom on Mondays & you say you miss yours too, but then you make me laugh a lot when you talk about poo You told me every crayon had a different crayon taste, then you said you were joking but that each clock has a face We do not have the same name, & we do not look the same, but we both have the same teacher & we like it when it rains You taught me every dog’s a boy & every cat’s a girl & blinking really fast is the best way to talk to squirrels I never knew that I was smart until you told me so, you’re the best friend that a friend could have, I just want you to know

"Fun" Hat 02:58
"Fun" Hat - by Brian Vernon, inspired by the life of Albert Gardner Move up to take a bootlegger down, but Martin loves its brown Even the mayor used to make, & the chief was on the take Johnson’s store yonder down the street & Gilbert always got us meat & Old Man Murphy ran the funeral home Now I’ve spilled more blood than a Viking should, fire & iron where someone else called home Big Joe Crutchfield put his wife on the ground It was no mistake, so I took that call, I’ve worn all shade of blue & 1 thing I hold true Be as tough as they think they are Never took a man up the hill, hold his eyes till they go still Said, “Joe, I’ll take you, or Murphy will.” Order’s an order, but a crime is a crime, ain’t never been a man to abide So, they looked to be takin’ my star, I’m gonna take this town Get the boys & the extra shells, folks round here have not seen hell Bring Mike for whoever gets shot Round the deputies up one by one, have two in the front so they get in the back If they’re good with the cause, then they’re good with us & you can let ‘em out The girls can stay with Hazel at the farm, round up Pete & Big Red at the barn ain’t got no place in what I gotta do When I came back with a purple heart, didn’t mean that I was gonna start Taking orders from men led by greed Take the long gun to the courthouse, take the roof & watch the south I’ll take both my 6’s, I’m gonna take the fight to them, I said I’m gonna take this town x 4
