Nation
(Ryan Cyr)

Nation sold by a mere fabrication
Busing your fame but it’s a game for you
Nation
Nation soon to lose each inhalation
Though what’s the use your stuck in a noose?
A pity for you

Breathe if you know there is something wrong
Breathe if your fate is a common one
Breathe if you know you are still alive
Now you’re breathing
Breathe for the will where in you it lies
Grounding your soul even though it flies
You’re simply not ready for owning the die
You barely have strength to hold them

Nation exiled in subordination
Fight all they do force-fed to you is me
Nation

The money, the money, the money
The precious money

Breathe if you know there is something wrong
Breathe if your fate is a common one
Breathe if you know you are still alive
Now you’re breathing
Breathe for the will where in you it lies
Grounding your soul even though it flies
You’re simply not ready for owning the die
You barely have strength to hold them

Nation singing a past imitation
This song is dead look out your head and see

Stonewalled
Stonewalled
(Eric Bettencourt)

Searching through the words so elusive and withdrawn
Had something to tell you all and now I fear it’s gone
Stone wall in my head again
The inspiration disappears with the touchdown of my pen

So easy she comes and goes
Whispers her song from deep in your shadows
So easy she comes and goes
When she’ll be around again nobody knows

Chased the devil through the details when I lunged he got away
Stalked him though the black and white now he’s hiding in the gray
Stone wall in my head again
Now I’m standing here and looking dumb what the hell was I thinking

So easy she comes and goes
Whispers her song from deep in your shadows
So easy she comes and goes
When she’ll be around again nobody knows

You can ride the train of thought or swim the stream of consciousness
In the end the road will pile high with nouns, verbs, and adjectives
Stone wall in my head again
One moment all is crystal clear and the next one I’m snowed in  

So easy she comes and goes
Whispers her song from deep in your shadows
So easy she comes and goes
When she’ll be around again nobody knows

3. I Won't Hurt You Play
I Won't Hurt You

I wont hurt You

(Written by Dan Knudsen for his tribute album, winter 2007)
Arrangement by Giraffe Attack

I don’t push you around I don’t slap you on the butt
I never punch in the stomach; I never belt you in the gut
Love should not hurt or have any violence or threats
So I will control myself no matter how mad at you I get

You don’t want me to touch you, I understand
It’s your own body, to myself Ill keep my hands
Whenever you need privacy, I promise not to invade
Its alright girl don’t be afraid

Baby I wont hurt you
Cause it’s the last thing I would ever want to do
Baby I wont hurt you
I don’t have the heart to so
Baby I wont hurt you
---Wooo I wont hurt you

Well I know that some men are such cowardly abusers
They call themselves lovers but they’re really liars and losers
I’m not one of those jerks cause I’m nice and not mean
When girls say no to guys that’s what they really mean

You don’t want me to touch you, I understand
Its your own body, to myself Ill keep my hands
Whenever you need privacy, I promise not to invade
Its alright girl don’t be afraid

(Chorus)

You’re an innocent woman and I respect you,
Aren’t you glad I learned to give you that!
So let me be your guardian and protect you

You and I Are alright girl don’t be afraid
Ohh yeah!!!!!!

You’re face will never be black or blue
