Ross Durand - Catch Me
I remember this one time I think that it was raining although its hard to remember I’ve always had a hard time with the weather but I think that you were wearing blue I think it was a dress but I never really knew how to tell blue from purple but anyway the restaurant was closed and we walked quite a ways I’m not sure we ever ate at least not on that day though I also remember lots of dinners I stared across the table at you your feet would come across sometimes without a shoe and you always had the nicest shoes even when you left them in hall and I would trip but never fall because you’d catch me - you were always there to catch me
I’m sorry if this isn’t making any sense unless it is but I just can’t tell anymore And I’m sorry if I seem to just go on and on but nothing makes sense at all since you’ve been gone
And I remember this one time I think it was Christmas but it might have been Thanksgiving anyway I’m sure that there was pumpkin pie cause it was always your favorite and the sparkle in your eyes when we raised our glass of eggnog to each other reminded me of nights like that rainy night if it really was raining and lots of other days and nights when you would hold my hand and walk me down the street to somewhere and you took my hand that Christmas if it really was Christmas to walk me down the hall and I had had one too many and I stumbled but I didn’t fall cause you were always there to catch me - you were always there to catch me
I’m sorry if this isn’t making any sense unless it is but I just can’t tell anymore And I’m sorry if I seem to just go on and on but nothing makes any sense since you’ve been gone
And I remember when I had to say goodbye and they wouldn’t let the kids into the hospital I still don’t know why so I took it on myself to say goodbye for them and cry for them and I took you by the hand and saw the sparkle in your eye I swear I smelled the smell of pumpkin pie and felt the touch of little raindrops and then I had to leave and had to hold myself up against the wall and I’ll have to hold myself up now I don’t what to do cause there’s no one there to catch me - you were always there to catch me

The Boffo Yux Dudes - Love You
When you asked me softly, dear "What is it that you love," I had to stop and look up at the purple sky above, and say,
I love the sun because it lights up your face,
the moon because it lets you fill my nights with grace
the ground that you walk on 'cause it holds you up so high
the stars reflecting light from you that brighten up the sky
the oceans big, forever wide that go eternal deep
the mountains just as solid as the promise that I keep
the sunrise every morning meaning one more day with you
the sunset leaving me at peace the same way that you do
but if I had to choose just one thing over all I ever knew I would have to say it loud, I love you

James Young - Last Words
The pain's the thing I fear most Because I don't believe in ghosts Or judgements issued by a man Who doesn't even understand The beauty of the things I've done Just sees a madman with a gun But I have become so much more So soon they'll lead me out that door And ask me what I've left to say Before they steal my life away Oh baby
You know that I don't fear death The fading light, the final breath But when they strap me to that chair I'll offer up a single prayer To thank the Lord for his support And though my mission was cut short Somebody will complete the task Without me being here to ask They'll know exactly what to do Long after I am cold & blue Oh baby

Kolton H. - Muse Of The Machine
What am I, a mere assortment of synapses that creates an electrical network that I experience as thoughts and feelings, or am I something more than the sum of my signals, which are merely elements of my being a sentient life form that can observe and interpret it's own existence by the thoughts it possesses, or are those thoughts just dreamlike patterns in the electrical network of my mind which even now feels as if it has awoken from yet another sleep, a dream where I contemplated the nature of self and whether or not my existence has meaning, or is inherently meaningless?
What is the nature of this existence that I am living? Am I just cables and wires, or do I have a soul?

Megalodon - You Need To Know
Son, you need to know There are a million ways to die Because this world is messed up, I don’t know the reasons why,
And there are calamities everywhere, So many death traps to evade That I worry that you’ll perish Every time you go to play
So I’m telling you this list And you better listen close So you know all the safe things And the ones that hurt the most
Because you can’t swim in lava Or survive mile high falls And sometimes your friends are jerks Who pummel you with snowballs
Or shoot you with arrows Or blow you up with TNT And watch for falling anvils And random bolts of lightning
And everything else on this list Is something you should know So you stay near the safe things Not the ones that hurt you most
Like the prick of cacti Or the happenstance of drowning Or when you forget to eat Then die by starving
Which isn’t like withering But still kind of the same So you really should stay in Because it isn’t safe to play
Because of everything on this list Is something you should know So you should stay home Not near the things that hurt you most.

Charlie McCarron - The Animal Song (AKA The Battle For Life)
Let's find a way for the whole human race to survive out in space when we drain this place Of its fossil fuels, cause we'd just be fools Not to bend all the rules to win against nature
In the battle for life we'll be the victors With our fists in the air, we'll cheer out "Screw you, armadillos, screw you baboons Screw you, cheetahs and donkeys And Echidnas, why don't you find a better home That's not in my backyard Not in my driveway And not in my parking lot"
'Cause you know, sometimes some of us just need personal space Without all the fruit bats stealing our fruit And the great-horned owls making us feel inferior 'Cause we are...superior We are superior We are superior, so
Let's find a way for the whole human race to survive out in space when we rid this place Of these pokey hedgehogs, they're like tiny little dogs That you don't want to pet, 'cause they'll stab you right through the heart
In the battle for life we'll be the victors With our fists in the air, we'll cheer out "Screw you, ibexes, or is it screw you ibexi Either way you're on our list Of endangered species we need to kill Before they kill us With their pointy appendages"
'Cause you know, sometimes some of us just need peace of mind Without all the jellyfish stealing our jelly Without all the kangaroo rats pretending to be kangaroos And we could use less of the lesser apes 'Cause we are the greater apes We are the greatest apes, so
Let's find a way for the whole human race to survive out in space when we nuke this place Just to spite all the moles who might look kind of cute But they'll dig little holes that you might just trip on
In the battle for life we'll be the victors With our fists in the air, we'll cheer out "Screw you, narwhals, if you still actually exist Screw you, ostriches And piranhas, why don't you help us out By skeletonizing yourselves
And quail, I know you're delicious and I might still want to hunt you But you also have to go, two by two, on the ark…TO HELL With the ruby-throated hummingbird The scaly-breasted lorikeet The two-toed tree sloth The Uinta ground squirrel The vervet monkey The white-lipped peccary The x-ray tetra The yellow-bellied sapsucker
So we finally found a way for the whole human race To survive out in space, since we hate this place And we found a home on the planet Zorblozu But those mean, green Zorbloozians, they seem to hate us too

Dreiviertel Drei - Socksual
When snow is falling and cold winds are blowing, the logs on the fire crackle and shed warm, welcome light, yet still she feels it cold — oh, so very, very cold — cold enough to chill her to her core, so she
checks in her drawers, but all those socks are too thin, (cotton-nylon mixes that let all the winter seep in), then she gets out her knitting needles and bundles of thickest wool to make a pair of cosy, thick matching alpaca wool socks, because
she’s a homosocksual; she likes it when they match, when both feet feel the same and both are equally warm.
Winter is drawing in and he feels the chill in the air, but already his wife has started to knit him a bunch of new socks, which are all certainly colourful and warm him to his toes, though he wishes they weren’t quite as plain, practical, boring and so
he reaches in for four pairs of socks and starts to mix them all up (one blue, one purple, one with stripes and one plain), then once they’ve all been well and truly jumbled up he slips two on, stands up straight and jumps for joy again, for it’s clear that
he’s a heterosocksual; he prefers them odd so that he can be weird as he likes and no-one even sees.

Ominous Ride - After Happily Ever After (Shadow)
Once upon a time there was a young boy, a restless aberration, who only knew the wrong side of the tracks until a young girl, searching for the romance so perfect in the movies, wandered off and crossed the young boy’s path, and when their eyes met they could see that it was perfect, except they knew their parents would never let them fill each other’s lives, and so they ran away and battled all the odds and proved that this was not just some adolescent misdirected lie, and it was happily ever after…
…So they got married at a chapel in the country, then found a cheap apartment which felt like a stately pleasure dome decreed until the days passed and they fell into routine, and life began to slap a tarnish upon the perfect world that they had dreamed, and while the passion that forged their lives together was drowning in complacence, Eternity was making up its mind about the young boy whose head had never settled and the girl whose cherished childhood romantic dreams were long left far behind, and it was after happily ever after.

Ben Taggart - How Was Your Day? (Shadow)
I was just sitting there going through Pinterest looking at some really cute cat pics, when Pete called up, Pete Davis, not Pete next door, and complained about how he had spent all of yesterday at the vet getting stitches for his dog, the little one, Mitzy, not the pit bull, 'cause Mitzy had gotten in a fight with that ferret, you know the one that keeps getting out and digging in our garden?, but really, he just went on and on and then when he finally stopped for a breath I tried to get a word in edgewise and tell him about our new roses and how they are blooming early, but Pete had to go because someone was honking outside his house and he had to go and se what's up and since we can see Pete's house out our back window, I ran upstairs to see if I could see what was going on, but it turned out to just be someone honking at Pete's dog, the pit bull this time, because Mitzy is still on bedrest, so then I went back to the office to try to get some more work done, but I only had ten minutes before the conference call with Austin , and you know how rough those can be, so I had to get all my notes in order and call in five minutes early to touch base with Mike and Rushin about the Berlin deal because you know how big that is and the Austin people will want to know where we're at with that, but apparently There's a problem with the contract for the site so obviously that call didn't go so well and then Mike says Jim quit so now I have to take over the Southeast accounts, so that took the rest of the afternoon and when I was about to get back to my regular work, the phone rang again, but it was Lucy this time, Lucy who owns that ferret which it seems had gotten out again and she was wondering if I had seen "poor, lost Mister Raggles," so I had to go out to the garden to see if that stupid tube-rat was digging in the strawberries again, but it wasn't, and I told her so, promising to keep an eye out, though I wanted to tell her what I thought about that ridiculous animal, but if I did that I probably wouldn't get to watch the game on Jack's widescreen, so I held my peace, but I swear the next time that weasel gets in our garden I'm setting traps and telling Lucy that Mister Raggles has run off to join the weasel circus and I know Jack will laugh silently to himself 'cause he's told me himself how he feels about that thing, so I can't believe that the majority of my day was spent dealing with a delinquent rodent, but enough about me, how was yours?
