Oh No lyrics You need some time on your own You should just leave me alone You knew too true Oh no, this might hurt someone Oh no, our collapse has begun Oh no, I’m trying to be polite, and You’ll be alright. Sunblock lyrics: It was supposed to be a peaceful day I was supposed to have some special "me time" away from you What’d you think I was supposed to do? We were supposed to give each other some space But it’s been 43 hours and you’re back in my face Again And my patience is wearing thin I just want to sit and ponder my regrets But in every light I fear I might still see your silhouette This isn’t for fun, this isn’t for spite, You aren’t the one, you know it ain’t right, You know that we’re done, I don’t wanna fight, You’re blocking the sun, you’re blocking the light.

Rebels out for glory Welcome home! It's time for all of us here To have some fun in the sun With all of our peers Write a song Then share it to the rest of the crowd Let's have a talk after dark And discuss what we sound There's plenty of room For a whole bunch of tunes They may not be the best But I'm sure they will do Because it isn't about the prize If you know the whole story We're only rebels out for glory --- So what'd you think? If this has been your first time with us I hope you'll stay and relay In our musical bus Tap your feet And listen to the rhythms of songs Don't mind the heat as we compete And the beat travels on And if you don't pass the round, Then don't feel down. You can still release a shadow For the rest of us now. Because it isn't about the prize And you've yet to tell your story We're only rebels out for glory ----- Sometimes it hurts To hear when a friend feels burned Some would say it's all a game Until someone gets hurt But if you wait, Like any game, you'll soon have your turn So don't give up, try again, Show us all what you've learned From your lungs to your lips At your firm fingertips Your shadow could surround us Like a solar eclipse And as these bodies of light combine I begin to see the story We're only rebels out for glory (we're only rebels out for glory) Reflected Glory I’ve always been someone Who’s longed for my day in the sun My chance to shine for all the world to see Though I tried to fly alone I can’t shine here on my own I need your light so I can have Reflected glory When you shine over me In the night I would light your dreams And just be happy, I can share the sky with you Don’t need to glow when it is day I find I just get in the way And when I do the only thing they see is you I’ve always been someone who was lesser, Hoping to be seen Trying hard to please My emotions can rise and flow Like tides in the sea Sometimes I want to hide Sometimes I want to shine I have learned that I shine best By your reflected glory (And just be happy I can share the sky with you)

Path of Totality, by Jailhouse Payback The path of totality is wide We've been thrown into darkness Brothers killing sisters Fathers disowning sons Mothers crying for their babies what have we become The ghost of Abe would be ashamed We're dividing up our stars So it's just you and me Crossin' states with no car Turn up Bruce on my headphones Get away from this war Will we look up at the sky, then say goodbye? Will we look up at the sky, and say goodbye? The sun is almost gone Put your glasses on We'll be lucky not to make it Soon we'll cover up our eyes And let our boat capsize Will we look up at the sky, then say goodbye? Will we look up at the sky, and say goodbye? Will we look up at the sky, then say goodbye? Will we look up at the sky, then say goodbye? Oregon to Myrtle Beach by Jailhouse Payback We packed up our bags And got on that Greyhound Bus From Oregon to Boise we held each other close When we made it to Yellowstone No charge left on my phone No need to call mom or dad We're not going home Casper to Lincoln You closed your eyes But I stayed awake and watched you sleep all night There's still a meanness in this world We can't make it go away. No! Can we really go blind when the sun goes behind the moon? Can we really go blind when the sun goes behind the moon? Columbia to Nashville Charlotte to Myrtle Beach We've crossed mountains and mighty rivers Seen all there is to see The sun has gone away Tomorrow will be too late So hold my hand, let's close our eyes All we can do is pray Can we really go blind when the sun goes behind the moon? Can we really go blind when the sun goes behind the moon? Can we really go blind when the sun goes behind the moon? Can we really go blind when the sun goes behind the moon?

On a day like today, I can't feel any other way Don't care what people say It's not in their hands anyway There's a spring in my step, I got a twinkle in my eye Cuz I just met the most amazing guy! He's got class, he's got style, And he's got such a brilliant smile And he's strong, and he's tough, I mean he's really super buff He's a hottie, and he's godly, And he's really really bright He truly is the most amazing sight! It's something rare and wonderful It's something wild and beautiful Can't really look him in the eye It's something strangely powerful, Oh look! He brought me flowers I think I'm gonna love him 'til I die... Everything came out wrong Should have known all along Just couldn't see the signs He burned between the lines Wish I could hide myself Crawl back inside my shell I saw myself blot out the sun Was all I could do to just turn and run Outsmarted, outshined Brokenhearted, but still mine Uncharted, but he can't lie He's gonna love me until I die...

First song (shadows) There's a riddle on the right, seems to the quiet sighs outside double standards Kings and Queens, never better than it's been right now Medication ,useless work, papers flying through the dark with or without you Just because you want it doesn't make it so magics concentration I'm happy hiding in your shadows, sunlight's over rated When you're getting what you want, that's the time to proclaim doubt, confidence In the meantime you forgot, what you were worried about, her fake applause for rapid jokes, a gust of wind and then lights out lets go. animals are weirded out, night time culture's got its claws in us Wabasha (second song) What's in your heart? Do you even have a heart to give up? How did you know these spells? So much time put into the time you ignore, I'm just afraid of the door Just a second til its gone, it's never gonna cover us

I was a fighter In search of a riot Flicking the lighter Not sure how to buy in Not sure how to begin I tried to be kinder Tried to silence the violence To see "both the sides" But there's right and there's wrong And there's wool over eyes And oh we live in such a world The artists are arming themselves for war And so we are poking at something sore Our maladies we've tried so hard to ignore And we try to let love win And hope that won't leave us with nothing and we try to let love win Did you think that I disappeared did you think that I would Leave a clear conscience for you It's coming out worse than you feared Suddenly everything isn't happening somewhere else You're still surpised You're still the best liar you know You won’t eclipse me And if you try It’s just a matter of time And natural movement Of the universe So we hope, so we hope Only hope survives

Song #1 title: "Be Kind" (sung by Melissa Phillips) Try to be kind We are family to each other Everyone here is a sister or a brother We have our views, but it's healthy to disagree Isn't it great To live in a country where speech is so free? Wonderful world Leave it better than it found you Don't let any hate Eclipse the love around you Blood of one heart Siblings from separate shores Searching for keys That could be opening all of the doors Try to be kind Try to be kind Song #2 title: "Call Names" (sung by Glen Raphael) You can call anyone a nazi, If you only try No matter their behavior Don't need a reason why Though some would be demurer, You know your heart is purer Which makes you all the surer That everyone's a Fuehrer You can call 'em all nazis if you try You can call anyone a commie; It isn't hard to do Whatever their position, It's to the left of you! You disagreed on ho-w To divvy up a co-w So you believe that no-w They're worse than Chairman Mao You can call 'em all commies if you try Bridge: And there's been little need For human understanding Knowing who's correct Is all about the branding

Laudate Dominum Qui solem lunamque creavit. I know the sun will shine till the day I die And a few billion years more And I'll be fine till the day I die With the sunlight keeping me warm And I can measure the days as they pass me by And on days when I can't seem to stop myself whining I look up to the sun and I see it's still shining And if somehow the sun Were to suddenly dim I would survive through faith in the one Who created the sun And I know the moon will turn, turn, turn about the earth For at least a few billion years more I know that it will pull, pull, pull against the ocean And peel it away from the shore And I can mark the months as they pass me by And on nights when it seems that the whole world is burning I look up to the moon and I see it's still turning And if somehow the moon Were to stop in its tracks I would survive through faith in the one Who created the moon
