So this award goes out to you
A dedication to the youth
From magazines for teens that really care
Care enough to want to prove

Have got less to lose

And that piece of mind

"The Night The Lights Went Out In NYC"

The lights are out in the city tonight
So close your eyes, gaze up at the heavens
And see if you can point me out

If I could have one wish tonight
I'd wish upon a satellite
To bring me back to you
We spend our whole lives searching for
All the things we think we want
And never really knowing what we have

So many paths that we can take
To bring us to our destiny
Gaze up at the heavens
And see if you can point me out

If I could have one wish tonight
I'd wish upon a satellite
To bring me back to you
We spend our whole lives searching for
All the things we think we want
And never really knowing what we have

Be careful what you wish for
These stars are fading out.

"Anderson"

What have I done, what have I got?
Your life is really useless, your life is really shot.

Gun toting losers, beer swillin' hicks.
Backwards hilljacks, stupid teenage chicks.
Hate it here, I hate it here this Anderson hell.
Life sucks but you're too blind to tell.
Don't you know I really hate it here and
I will always hate it.
Don't you know I really hate it here?

Who have you done, who have you got?
Your wife's a douchebag, your kid's a little fucking snot.

Nothing to do, no place to go
you're so blind you don't even know.
Hate it here, I hate it here this Anderson hell.
Life sucks but you're too blind to tell.
Don't you know I really hate it.
Oh yes I really hate it.
I'd rather be anywhere but here.

Will you ever set out or will you just die?? (Probably die)
I don't care anymore or even want to try.

Trailer park bred, fast food fed,
Forever K-Mart shopping, fucked in the head.
Hate it here, I hate it here this Franklin hell.
Life sucks but you're too blind to tell.
Don't you know I really hate it here
Still I'll do nothing about it...
I'd rather be anywhere but fucking here.

"Ben Lee"

I never met someone so jaded
your music's really over rated
nothing but a lot of pretentious noise
I know that claire danes is your chick
to me you're just some ugly prick who got lucky
cause he knew the Beastie Boys
and I cant stand it

a lot goes on but nothing happens
but this time that's not true
i wrote this song for you
to tell you that your 15 minutes of fame are almost up
yea one more thing, Ben Lee you suck

Bob Dylan must be kinda pissed
cause you've been writing all his hits
packaged and reprocessed for the world
I'd love to kick you in the face
break your legs and throw you from a train
cause you're such a fucking girl
and I cant stand it

I guess this song's come to an end
I'll say good bye until we meet again
you better stay out of my town
cause if i had way
I'd call up snoop, ice cube, and dr. dre
we'd come and beat you down

"I Remember You"

[Originally by Skid Row]

Woke up to the sound of pouring rain
The wind would whisper and I'd think of you
And all the tears you cried, that called my name
And when you needed me I came through

I paint a picture of the days gone by
When love went blind and you would make me see
I'd stare a lifetime into your eyes
So that I knew you were there for me
Time after time you were there for me

Remember yesterday - walking hand in hand
Love letters in the sand - I remember you
Through the sleepless nights and every endless day
I'd wanna hear you say - I remember you

We spend the summer with the top rolled down
Wished ever after would be like this
You said I love you babe, without a sound
I said I'd give my life for just one kiss
I'd live for your smile and die for your kiss

Remember yesterday - walking hand in hand
Love letters in the sand - I remember you
Through the sleepless nights and every endless day
I'd wanna hear you say - I remember you

We've had our share of hard times
But that's the price we paid
And through it all we kept the promise that we made
I swear you'll never be lonely

Woke up to the sound of pouring rain
Washed away a dream of you
But nothing else could ever take you away
'Cause you'll always be my dream come true
Oh my darling, I love you

Remember yesterday - walking hand in hand
Love letters in the sand - I remember you
Through the sleepless nights and every endless day
I'd wanna hear you say - I remember you

"A Soundtrack For This Rainy Morning"

All this useless beauty is haunting to my heart
Dim the headlights, make amendments
Starry sea of night

Oh, sounds of silence so enchanting, all embracing
So seductive and so pure
Oh, I'm so insensitive, alright
Beauty is touched by the light

Stare into lights on this motorway
Puncturing in the night
I often wonder what it would feel like
A slight jump to the right
Everything goes blind

Oh, I'm so insensitive, alright
Sadness so touched by the light

Oh, sound of sadness, beautiful sadness
Whispering softly
And this final portion of night, it is ours

Oh, I'm so sensitive, alright
Oh, beauty is touched by the light

"Act V, Scene IV: And So It Ends Like It Begins"

The smell of incense
It fills the air inside this room
Cast of light colorly strewn about the floor
A casket lined with pills
And the bitter taste of absinth
To wash it down

And so it ends like it began
At a cross
Along this interstate
A worn inscription
All cracked and faded
These actions will remain
When bodies turn to dust
And from this monument
I will drown inside the anguish of your heart

A new dawn broke this morning
Tears were raining in this room
As pure as holy water
Reflecting images of you
This world is like a whore
So ravish and so beautiful
So bitter cold and all alone

And if i had my way
We'd wake up on the day we met
I'd stare into your heart for hours
And try to make you hear the sweetest thoughts
But not tonight
We die inside each others arms
We'd revel in our last embrace
I'd steal the breath right from your heart
And kiss you as we die

I rest my lifeless head upon your heart
Forever
I rest my lifeless head upon your heart
Forever
I rest my lifeless head upon your heart
Forever

Maybe i'll bring you sunlight after all
I'm sorry
Maybe i'll bring you sunlight after all
I'm sorry
Maybe i'll bring sunlight after all
I'm sorry
Maybe i'll be sunlight after all
So sorry

Maybe i'll greet sunlight after all
I'm sorry
Maybe i'll greet sunlight after all

"And We All Become Like Smoke"

We all are so faithful
We all are so lost within our hearts
There's a spark in reply
And then our colors burst in gold
And we all become like...

Fading into nothing, fading into nothing
Just a trace of my life
That burns when I fade across

And still we all are so hopeful
So you write our sins in our blood
We look so tired in our eyes
Yet so afraid of

Fading into nothing, fading into nothing
Just a trace of my life
That burns when I fade across

We all are so, we all are so faithful

Fading into nothing, fading into nothing
Just a trace of my life
That burns when I fade across

Fading into nothing, fading into nothing
Just a trace of my heart
Leaves its mark upon a heart

"Bad Case Of Broken Heart"

today I'm missing something
in this small new england town.
here's to you my best friend.
just wanted to say that I miss
having you around.

I'm staring at your picture
and dreaming that I could hold your hand.
we'd walk down to the ocean
and I would write your name in the sand.

they say sometimes you need some time apart
but I've got a bad case of broken heart.
and you're the only one who's got the cure.
and I can't live another day without seeing you smile.

2000 miles between us and I guess that I'm the one to blame.
relationships and heartaches,
these two things are one and the same.

the radio plays a love song.
I smash my fist right through the dial.
here's to the broken hearted.
a generation born in denial.

"Begin Again From The Beginning"

I traveled to each road and the end of the earth
With no where else to go I looked back in amazement
When I finally realized how farther I had actually gone
I was still standing in the same place that I started
Till I found out and I cried out that there was silence
A definite silence... more brilliant than anything

And there was a bird with feathers brightest red and it spoke
At least that what you saw
I saw an angel on the whitest Novembers morning
And I had sang the sweetest cry since she wanted to reach down
And tell me that it would me all right
And tell me it would be alright

I walked out and stared into the golden sun
I was blinded by an endless timeless beauty
Till i found out and I cried out that there was silence
A definite silence... more brilliant than anything

And there was a bird with feathers brightest red and the smoke
At least that what you saw
I saw an angel on the whitest Novembers morning
And I had sang the sweetest cry since she wanted to reach down
And tell me that it would me all right
And tell me it would be alright
