PFN2RD - Picking Flowers Next To RoadKill I sat Cahoots Coffee Shop quarter past seven Relaxed, he walked up, he said he ran out of gas I said, what? Said "your stuck well let me help, I’d love to help" He looked me dead into my eyes and said that he’d do it himself "Okay, but if I may just take a peek into your car I’d like to reassure myself that I can truly play a part" I did, it was as close to empty as I was to giving in I grabbed my wallet with my left and with my right I reached for his Wasn’t sure how to feel or exactly what to think All I could do was take it in and hope and pray He wouldn’t take advantage of my weakness Call it that, there is no shame I feel not bad for being kind, it’s in my nature to regain That faith I had in human beings right before he beat me up Drank up all my coffee, grabbed my cash and stole my car Now who’s to blame for the war Was the price paid in full Or did the decisions I make do nothing but support the kill?

(2x) Cherokee Park, meditating, kicked in the face, I awoke I was shook, I could finally taste pain Met the Devil's daughter, she was lost Claimed she never met her father and resented her mom, codename: God. "Look at me", I said. She shut her eyes, and said "Okay", When I opened mine back up, it seemed that she had went away. I considered accepting the chance that it was meant to be I was alone the whole time, because she let me be. Too deep to think it's empty, she actually meant well, Even though her effort led to Heaven, her head still reflected Hell. Any stranger from a block away could see her motives were in ruins But either way, a cry for wolf is still a cry... Hold the bruise, I try to use the best of both worlds presented But I typically go overboard, abusing one perspective, a fool. I was a slave to my habits that indeed create the waves, so you can try to save the planet, but... [[Hook]] Everyone I know is oppressed. Everyone I know causes pain. Everyone I know is depressed.

PFN2RK - Brighter Side Sleep in regrets secrets free sin from infancy deep breath sea sick Begin amnesia dream now to leave it all behind and no longer believe in doubt Clue, we shed same skin at different times In each season check the leaves if I'm colored blind, sunlight to moonstruck Evenings, freezing, wheezing, till the top of every mountains top Reminds me that in no way is this happening for no reason The page you always skip is the one that keeps repeating (2x) Itself and I felt like I dealt with it well Despite the fact I yelled for help when I fell Go tell I can see the dirt puddle disguised as a well But when I go to take a drink there's only enough mud For myself and no cup for the others I want the patience to calm a crying baby After left for complaining it was theft Now remaining a connection with our mother Over due and overslept through a couple billion relative to death forever meant to rediscover. [[hook]] I wonder if a brighter side exists (exists) On the other side of the fence He managed to climb She decided to dance I guess you had to be there In pretense. I can't count how many times I stopped to think About the lives I could have touched But I was busy being bought, sold, told to lie Stuck, with that feeling in my gut Like my butterfly never made it home safe And in no way will that old slave hold me down in that cold cave by my souls cape So I smile. When I was young enough to know That nothing ever dies The object of my obsession Became the tears in others eyes The mirror. Such a wide range of desires, It's clear, It all adds up so quick But it's divided by the same fear As our fire, gets higher, to tired and uninspired To figure out exactly why we're here, By messing with the wires built on top of rusty gears Or perhaps the trap is in the mind of a messiah who steers Up a beaten path and meets a friend the pioneer. The ride was smooth in the beginning but what bloomed Soon did disappear in the ruins of what was living Proof that everything we choose to do Moves through fear, It's nothing new In fact I'm used to losing you When I'm not here. [[hook]] I wonder if a brighter side exists (exists) On the other side of the fence He managed to climb She decided to dance I guess you had to be there In pretense.

PFN2RK - Leave The Summer They're on the I don't wanna leave the summer I'm more on the let the storm wander, with the feed back hunger Mother never mumbles under breath Says "Treat the world like you love it and that's how you'll be treated back" I seldom hesitate when called into the light Because I know there's someone else alive who feels the same as I do, If I take a stand and follow my guide perhaps I'll become a leader in the eyes If I go blind tomorrow Still caught in the past, not afraid to admit If lost I gotta ask "What's the task ive been given?" Cuz if I miss what I pass on the path when it twists There'd be no journey in the visit like it already happened but didn't I'm not alone, that's all I really need for the comforting realization that nothing is guaranteed I want nothing in return but the peace that something stole And once I find out where it was I'd say I knew and so I don't. [[hook]] There's a rainbow making fun of where my suns afraid to go If i tickle let it touch it's just enough to make it grow If I let it get to close then I suppose it wasn't real That's how memory controls the suffering that makes me feel Out of control confused afraid to keep it warm War is leading me astray and Im not too sure what it's for I've learned how to hurt I can learn how to heal A turn for the worst is a new earth to build I've got an niche for intervention when disease is wild But prefer a firm connection to preserve my inner child Enter winter as a sinner and forgive the saint Knight in shining armor first to picture what it's like to sink Or swim. It all comes in waves so concerned with the ending that the moment drifts away. I don't float like I used to so I refuse to promote self control if it's suited to abuse you Let the swing sway sideways blacked out set spring time fever free with a breath stretched out Stressed out from the peace that I know something stole If I find out where it was I'd say I knew and so I don't Yet I'm grateful, when I stop in my tracks and think about what I have instead of falling in that trap again. [[hook]] There's a rainbow making fun of where my suns afraid to go If i tickle let it touch it's just enough to make it grow If I let it get to close then I suppose it wasn't real That's how memory controls the suffering that makes me feel Out of control confused afraid to keep it warm Warm is leading me astray and im not too sure what it's for There's a rainbow making fun of where my suns afraid to go (2x)

PFN2RK- Snake in the Grass There is something on my mind that I know I have to do Pay a bill, call a friend, make the bed, swallow food All in all it's all ok, when I choose to follow through But who's to the say the one who found the truth Won't wobble in his boots The laws are misconstrued I give to you the guilt That in the news the miserable don't always fall to sin The images they sent to you were models that were bent With the intention to convince you that your world is hell again So tell a friend, spell the code, play a game of telephone His magnetic pull to benefit will melt the self control Even if the bones are broke on both sides Find me at the joint where it bends, Open eyes, hope to float, no we won't Ever get to the decision where the point will begin In where our choices cross paths with disappointment I just enjoy this till the little noises In my void get so boisterous I cant avoid them So hold up and tell me something that I don't already know What they say is that I suffer from a social buddha bruises comatose I use the music and pursue the road to home Determine our condition by your views and soon we'll loose it gun to throne (go away) We don't need you any more We'll be ok, do what we love And share the gain accordingly Your kitchen floor is filled with poison, petals, soap and rain But our fire pit aspires to remove ocean from rain.

PFN2RK - Dream I remember childhood bloom Memories untouched kick kiss boom Mess swept under the rug, ahead Never the one who bled enough to fix this wound. Friend of the miserable hangin from a sky Born wolf pack sheep turned butterfly dead flower. Shower with a mind full of paint To give praise and thanks to my mother my father For ever making the decision to bring Another voice to a choir that could already sing. It’s no surprise when living the dream I get so sick of feeling high it gives me reason to sink. The same reason why the mystery stings, And why the man on the corners got a trick up his sleeve. For every panhandled daughter knows a prince of the thieves So Ima stand here as long as it could take em to leave, please. I spent a lot of time man-ing up to have it back, What I miss? I was young, and loved enough to channel that. Right here right now everything is picture perfect clear somehow, Right here right now everything is picture perfect clear. Somehow, right here right now, Right here right, now. [[hook]] Your dream is on the rise I can see it in your eyes If theres a sky then you can make it (2x) Your dream is on the rise I can see it in your eyes If theres a sky then you can make it (2x) And whats better than finding something you lost, Admitting that you’re wrong, or saying sorry to someone you love. Not much, but having a childs gotta be the closest thing To showing the world that your not giving up. Or giving in to the pressure that I know he'll feel, Or giving in to the skin that she may not want, But when we choose to face the weaknesses that we have made It teaches us to keep a clean slate and remain strong. With the pain you endure comes the freedom to decide Whether or not your gonna stay or leave. And there’s nothing more fulfilling than knowing that Every cut you undergo, and over come, Is because you’ve always believed. There are no mistakes only choices that I’ve made. Which in return have taught me lessons on the player in the game. The world I see outside is a reflection of me, And the direction that I take is where the message remains. Yeah I watched a thousand horses back down the mountain side Just to get back to the bottom and look up at the sky. I looked up as well, and to my surprise There was one young pony with the sun in his eyes. He was ready to live, he was ready to ride, He was ready to run, he was ready to die. I’m not sure what he did, but I know he was ready, And whatever it was, it made the rest of us decide to climb. [[hook]] Your dream is on the rise I can see it in your eyes If theres a sky then you can make it (2x) Your dream is on the rise I can see it in your eyes If theres a sky then you can make it (2x) A lot to learn, A little to know I’ll reach for the top with my feet in a hole. You gotta go through the storm to appreciate the sun, And a rainbow to some is still grey if a seed doesn't grow from it. Love it, leave it alone, now touch it, hug it, feed it a bone. How? Give it your story for a piece of the puzzle. Admit that your blind, and in time it’ll see on it’s own Don’t believe in snakes, not in evil I believe in change, and put my faith in people. Everyone is built the same, my inner struggle loves control It's good for strangers to relate to where some fathers wouldn’t go, But when it all crumbles don't wait for the hero. Stomach that tummy ache,And create mirrors through Other individuals you meet on the path, Cause the connection that we crave Becomes complete when we fear no... body No thing No king No government bug No being No theory No nightmare stuck to a meaningful feeling No race No middle No end No beginning No time No side No job No space No prince No pawn No cost to live No backwards slide No forward leap No loss No gain Just us dreaming [[hook]] Your dream is on the rise I can see it in your eyes If theres a sky then you can make it (2x) Your dream is on the rise I can see it in your eyes If theres a sky then you can make it (2x)

PFN2RK- Full of Garbage I don't know anything I'm full of garbage I am a heart glued in a machine My moments of freedom are far and few in between I'm part used and I'm usually clean Dirty dishwasher soap suds Left a bunch of messes Left to much undone Someone snap me out of this Everything I said before right now is just a carcass Hard shit the day I was born Target to hit, starve them again Say that I won't Marketing pitch As a means to catch a couple schools of fish That play in the storm What is the difference between a bump in the road or a little lump in your throat When they say to stay and conform? Nothing I could claim to have the answers and I do The problem is if they don't work for me Then what's that say for you? Trips up north don't always go as planned I just want my mothers hands touching my head Who left the box of colored crayons on the bed I guess it's time to dream awake and start drawing instead Find the cure to the common cold But first you have to meditate myself into a shamans soul I am the goal, I am the one Sacrifice it whole minus zero find the sun Some say art heals a lonely heart Don't worry, I believe it too Throw the dart, hit the hype Forgive me I have nothing sincere or clever Needless to say I am bright and young forever right? There's nothing better then counting cold money I am an artist in other words, I'm ugly Hungry, yet I hold the schedule Process the pancakes and wash all the vegetables When I get bored there's not much more a four second Window to explore before I explode American blood trained to just let go Get real high, it's all you have to do to get low Taught to indulge in the pleasures till we get hooked Then feel guilty if I don't use the medicine you push, Look, it's all in good nature, good hands Paid in good faith that one day I'll be a good man My leg doesn't hurt it's just my body putting me in check Physical frustration mixed with regret Living like a pet pent up do a couple back stretches Eat a smoothie and forget what I'm doing, no panic Go to the studio write a little jingle for the sixth grade mix tape Turn it into something beautiful and hope it gets played enough for me to get paid oh isn't this is just great, funeral Money running Newport babies running laps Round my inner maps tracks on a lunar pull, daily Journey circuits ambush, universe crazy I refuse to fret let new fuse mating come in due time Make a subtle contribution Strategic now, so puzzle my solution I thought they'd rush in when I was truly being me Eh wrong a shooting star covered in gold is poopy bronze So I had to make the fool to introduce em to the heart Glued in the machine that was singing the right part of the song I wish that I could be exactly how I was before But if i was then who would be the dummy that you now adore!

PFN2RK - Don't mean a thing (Featuring P.O.S. of Doomtree) [[hook]] See it don't mean a thing when you're living like me In and out of outer space When you can't see straight Just leave it up to me To put a dent in your holiday It's been one of those days for a couple of days And I'll profit how I choose But if they go home early and don't stay to play Then what shall I do? [P.O.S verse] [Kristoff Krane verse] I got a sign hanging up in my bathroom that says "You can do anything you wish in this world" It's funny how I find myself running out of time Sunny side up curled up in a ball, ready to hurl, I I hope it helps I forgive myself a break It's a good decision to make, when you know you have to make it To turn a bad apple into good lemonade,is to make something great But I'm too busy now to taste it Ever since I was fifteen years old All I wanted to do was work with kids When I was nineteen years old I made a decision that put that vision at risk Four months in jail Three nights in hell Who posted bail My parents cried When you break the trust between yourself and someone you love You either fail or swear you'll try to collide. [[hook]] See it don't mean a thing when you're living like me In and out of outer space When you can't see straight Just leave it up to me To put a dent in your holiday It's been one of those days for a couple of days And I'll profit how I choose But if they go home early and don't stay to play Then what shall I do?

PFN2RK - Best Friends (Featuring Eyedea) [Eyedea] I think this one looks like a fight, between a plate of fruit and my dads exercise bike I bet if these ants dancing next to my head could fly that high They would use that cloud as a bed. [Kristoff Krane] But my dad said that bugs bite and fly with the wind And if the sun isn't hung right then run like a fish We could win if we both try to untie our fins And climb that pine tree with the swing on it behind the fence [Eyedea] Alright, one, two, three, let's race, I bet that I can beat you there Last time you ran faster than a grown up when we were here Remember? I scraped my knee, then got stung by a bumblebee And the old man that lives behind the fence came out and yelled at me. [Kristoff Krane] Of course I remember, Oh how could I forget? He wrote my mom a letter and my dad, he threw a fit But this time will be better I promise As long as we're honest, he'll give us permission [Eyedea] Yeah, he can't say no to a kid. [[hook]] I will never turn my back to a lollipop to lick It's all puppy dog kisses and hugs So fill my cup with cotton candy, ice-cream and weekend sleepovers I don't wanna grow up if it means getting older. (2x) [Kristoff Krane] See, what I really don't get is why the big kids never get grounded after playing ding dong ditch, And the slingshots look like mighty fun, sure wish that I had one That way I could stand up to bullies, instead of trying to run. [Eyedea] Yeah, and they always get the baseball cards from the policemen Being tall don't make you smart, at least we can Always find something to do Like looking at the clouds with my best friend, That's you. [Kristoff Krane] I'm not sure what to say, I'm just happy that we're small enough to look up at the sky and feel okay And I'd be lying if I tried to say that I don't feel the same way as you do So let's be on our way, it's time to play. [Eyedea] Oh, to the jungle gym or to the swimming pool School's out forever and I hope I'm never too cool to keep on Making my life better, whether five, twenty-five or eighty as long As I'm alive, I'm in love and forever changing. [hook variation] I will never turn my back to a lollipop to lick It's kisses and a hug with love Fill my cup with a bunch of good things that always feel alright Cause I'm a little kid, we're all little kids on the inside. [Kristoff Krane] Never turn my back on a cupcake Love mixed with kisses and a kitten with love [Eyedea] Now fill my cup full of cotton candy, ice-cream and weekend sleep-overs I will never grow up, cause I'll never get older.

PFN2RK- Student Body "Chris could you please give a response to the question that I asked before you put your head down on that desk to take a nap?" "Teacher I'm not sure if your aware but I heard every word you uttered I'm prepared to share with the others what I have learned." "Great go ahead but remember to include the evidence you gathered to the point that your trying to prove." "Alright here we go let me grab my notebook real quick Here check it out, Well..hmm... My point is this I went to bed late I finished all my homework and I started to create And what I made, made me feel so elated and awake I felt it would be wrong to escape and so I stayed And lately it's been difficult to focus on the time There are way too many pressures that are poking at my mind They tell me who to be, how to think, and what to be, And plus all my friends pretend I'm cool but really think I'm ugly I'd love to be the student that I know that I could be But I feel that we're all stupid when assuming we are free So I appreciate your care and I'm aware that you're wise But I wish you'd understand that I'm scared and I cry and I don't want to lie, so I guess I should express That I have no clue exactly what the question was you asked And what's the task at hand, what are we trying to figure out, And will I pass in class if I decide not to participate, Will I advance in life if I don't get the grades expected, Will I amount to nothing, will I be disrespected, Cuz I believe that answers are like clouds in open skies And all of them are perfect if I breathe and close my eyes And when somebody makes me feel scared of failing a test I instantly get tense and can barely barely effects I'm very spacey, I stare at the wall, I fiddle in my notebook, pass notes in the hall And only when I feel like I'm not learning then I sleep, So maybe it's not me maybe it's the way you teach." "Oh Kris, thanks for sharing, I'm sorry to hear that you're been feeling overwhelmed with that weight you been gain you bet there are some things that we can do to make it better Class what do you think, how about we brainstorm together, hands up everyone, place your votes, How can a fellow student figure out what he's feeling and why ? Or continue with our discussion on geographical characteristics of mount Kilomanjaro You decide." "I have an idea How about when you feel sleepy you focus on your breathing and think about what your eating I learned in health class that the things that you put in your body have an effect on how well you process information I seen you at the snack bar eyein down the donut holes You know that those preservatives are one molecule away from plastic A change in lifestyle is all takes to take control And I believe you have what it takes to face and change your habits." "Cynthia are you serious it's not what he's eating it's because we're forced to wake up We're teenagers we should be sleeping." "Bryan please raise your hand when you have an idea It's great to raise awareness but not when someone else is speaking. Ashley what do you believe you've known Chris since middle school What do you see that he can't, open up that window to him?" "Well... okay I guess I have a couple I could share... Yeah... Alright Well I think Chris thinks to much about what others think Sounds to me like he's fed up with feeling tiny, small, and weak Maybe he should start reading stuff he really likes And work out every night, before writing rhymes, I mean you spelt it out, he said he's insecure He probably has an identity crisis built up over childhood years And when your constantly confused and you don't know who you are It's probably hard to look in the mirror much less appreciate your heart." "Wow Thanks Ashley, now look at we've done.. Chris what do you think about the ideas we come up with?" "I agree This is great, it's been a lot fun I regained faith in myself and I feel like I have options This actually makes me think how about once a week we do something like this for everyone in class? Honest it makes more sense to me to use our time together to discuss the conflicts in our lives that often make us feel stuck And if we're honest with each other And we honor each others perspective Then maybe we'll get better at learning how to love."

PFN2RK - Work [Kristoff Krane verse] Not too long ago I figured out how to explore From laying on the floor I got up, opened the door You can get your hopes high but in time they'd just want more I can blame a raindrop or stand naked in the storm From, young and full of answers to old and no more questions The road's ahead of me and I'm the one with the directions for The slow dance is always shorter on the way back From the top of the world, to a needle in a haystack I play back images, memories, innocence Everything that makes me feel like I can be a kid again Perfection died in my head when I just let it go Connection, why take the chance? Guess I'll never know. [Slug Verse] [[hook]] I gotta work, work where the weather permits The only opportunity I'm ever gonna get What's it worth?

Leave it or take it as love, Sleep or wake the fuck up It's a hard enough time Trying to make it out without another stranger to trust See, not too long ago before I finally got the good news You can always press record but you can never click undo It made me think, I guess I have to plan before I sink into the sand Cause in a blink I could lose everything So what more can I say? Yesterday is history and I'm reborn today And with the guidance from my friends and the support from those I hold dear Find me on the other side of the fence when the smoke clears (You can't fall asleep with the monkey on your back You can't look forward when you're staring in the past You can't feel alive unless you die through your head And if it raps this way I clap the world back) [Slug Verse 2] [[hook]] I gotta work, work where the weather permits The only opportunity I'm ever gonna get What's it worth?
