1.	Nation	Play	Nation 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 Nation Ryan Cyr: Lead and background vocals, drums, and bass guitar.

2.	Stonewalled	Play	Stonewalled Stonewalled (Eric Bettencourt) Searching through the words so elusive and withdrawn Had something to tell you all and now I fear it’s gone Stone wall in my head again The inspiration disappears with the touchdown of my pen So easy she comes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 Credits: Eric Bettencourt: Lead and background vocals, electric and acoustic guitars, bass guitar, and percussion.
