A Little Proof Words: A. Gonzales * Music: Thompson/A. Gonzales/Vasquez [OPENING SAMPLES] I never need a reason to set apart Just how expensive your face was – reason enough Still the ring tones loud Still the creeps around The only one, in my one-man crowd Right now there is no difference Between a star and the violent storm Don’t want to be strong… I was here to stop the incomplete Start talks – end – sweeps you off your feet Maybe I can fake it now…somehow. [SAMPLES] Tracers stealing the dark And unwanted faces, Peeling your heart Uncomfortable acts of craze…surrounding And that’s why I had to hide the truth… Coming in & out of myself For the most part… Fingertips are touchin’ my nose Wind stops – starts… If only alone wasn’t alone… I’d be fine… That’s why I had to hide the truth… Can’t imagine the things you’d do…. If only you had a little proof…

Mediocrity 03:42
Mediocrity Lyrics: Thompson Music: A. Gonzales/C. Gonzales/Valdez I’m on my way down right now Feeling sorry for myself again I’ve cashed in all my change To drown these thoughts again! There’s a pain in my chest That doesn’t go away with time The media distracts my thoughts, But only for a bit… Still caught up in all the shit From these other assholes… Something’s on it way Some how I’ll get paid, But not before I’m the toast of this town… Not before WE’RE THE TOAST OF THIS GODDAMN TOWN!!! FEEL THE WORLD COMING AT ME FAST I’VE TRIED TO HAVE A BLAST BUT I’M NOT SURE - IF I CAN LAST… Days seem strange like I’m someone else Shrouded in a fog of things I could say… But in the end we lived this life, Wrote these songs, and confessed our wrongs!!! If you build it – they will break it But how much shit – can one man take? They keep telling me to turn the other cheek Break our backs for years on end What do we have but BLOODY HANDS?!? They brought us up – just to watch us fall After all we’re no one at all… Waves of mediocrity – crashing down - around us all… Caught in a backstroke - against a downward spin We play games we can not win But we think we will… FEEL THE WORLD COMING AT ME FAST I’VE TRIED TO HAVE A BLAST BUT I’M NOT SURE - IF I CAN LAST… Days seem strange like I’m someone else Shrouded in a fog of things I could say… But in the end we lived this life, Wrote these songs, and confessed our wrongs!!! I’m on my way down right now Feeling sorry for myself again I’ve cashed in all my change X2 To drown these thoughts again! Waves of mediocrity – crashing down - around us all… Caught in a backstroke - against a downward spin We play games - we can’t win But we think we can… But we think we will... But we think we can… FEEL THE WORLD COMING AT ME FAST I’VE TRIED TO HAVE A BLAST BUT I’M NOT SURE - IF I CAN LAST… Days seem strange like I’m someone else Shrouded in a fog of things I could say… But in the end we lived this life, Wrote these songs, and confessed our wrongs!!! ©2009 Fuck the Main$tream.

Fuck Ourselves Words: Thompson * Music: Thompson / Vasquez [1:30] We Fuck ourselves / Just Fuck ourselves / We Fuck ourselves / Just Fuck ourselves / We Fuck ourselves / We die to come alive / Yet we struggle with death / The little details we leave out / seem to paint a different picture / No need for hesitation / Let’s look into ourselves / and see what we find.. / A peace of mind... / A piece of my mind... / We Fuck ourselves / We Fuck ourselves / We Fuck ourselves / We Fuck ourselves / Flip - page - story – book / Of hypocondriatic ways / Symptoms are self induced... / Dilute a little more... / Hide behind a wooden door / With every hour / Death draws nearer... / We all die to come alive / Yet we struggle with death / The little details we leave out / Paint a different picture...
