Back In An Hour

- Words by Aaron Dean, music by Matthew Benton

I don't like what you've become
But I guess that's how it's got to be
Growing up is not much fun
Can't you see it's killing me?
Now you've got your cute new friends
And we're here sitting in the dark
When did everything end?
Like forensics in the park.

Why did you go away? I wish that I could say
That you're a bastard, but I guess that would prove you right.
Don't you even miss the guys? You with your pity eyes,
I try so hard to forget, but my heart puts up a fight

It seems that we've all been right here,
But its not the same as mine. And it hurts like hell
To hear that you've gone and lost your mind
I understand that times do change, please kiss away
The pain. Though we think each other strange,
All in all it's too much strain

Why did you go away? I wish that I could say
That you're a bastard, but I guess that would prove you right.
Don't you even miss the guys? You with your pity eyes,
I try so hard to forget, but my heart puts up a fight


Crush-A-Day

- Words by Aaron Dean, music by Matthew Benton, Nate Burtch and Kevin Gleason

Maybe we could stop and talk
But the week has been so hectic and my thoughts are so eclectic
Maybe we could take a walk
But I'm much too scared to find out cause I know you'd tear my heart out

What' the big deal, are you for real?

Maybe I'm just immature
Cause you know that by tomorrow there'll be no more cause for sorrow
But my thoughts are not impure
And I know you'd think me oddball if I dared to give you a call

What's wrong with me, why can't you see?

I get a crush a day
A different girl in a different way
You are crazy people say
So I'll never get a lay

Maybe you feel the same way
You see I've got no intuition; I've got desire but no ambition
Cause I get a crush a day
And its better-left unspoken cause there's hearts that could get broken

What's that you say, she thinks I'm gay?

I get a crush a day
A different girl in a different way
You are crazy people say
So I'll never get a lay

I get a crush a day
A different girl in a different way
You are crazy people say
So I'll never get a lay


Gangrene

- Words by Matt Benton, Nate Burtch, and Aaron Dean
- Music by Matt Benton and Nate Burtch

Where do you wanna go? I don't think so
Where do you think I came from?
It's somewhere you don't wanna go.
So many things changed, and now I don't know
How could you drag me with you?
I am not going to go
What ever happened to that individual?
Like all those other people;
You're all so superficial
I finally realized, it took so long to see
You've always been immature
And our friendship was so cheap.

How could you betray a friend like me?
I don't wanna go; don't wanna go.

So what's the story now; guess you forgot how
Cause it's the same old bullshit
I turned my back and 'ka-pow'!!!
An author writes a page, and then the book's burned
We ingest propaganda;
Our hearts and minds have been turned
What ever happened to that individual?
Like all those other people;
You're now so superficial
I think I'm giving up; I'm locking all doors
You've sucked the life out of me
You left me ruined and poor.

How could you betray a friend like me?
I don't wanna go; don't wanna go.

Where do you wanna go? I don't think so
Where do you think I came from?
It's somewhere you don't wanna go.
What ever happened to that individual?
Like all those other people;
They're all so superficial


Happy Valentine's Day

- Words and music by Matthew Benton

She doesn't like me anymore and I don't blame her
She's better off with a wealthy frat boy with a big dick
Cause he can show her what a good time really is
I don't have that much to offer

She doesn't like me anymore and I don't need her
She threw our love away for fame and luxury
I spent a lifetime waiting for that phone to ring
But she had more important things than me

Why oh why... is it so hard for me to try to understand?
All she needs is a bigger man
Why oh why... can't I see why she left me?

Everyday she's round these better looking guys
I'm sure to her I seem so far away
How could I compete with these classy lover-boys
They've got so much more to offer

Why oh why... is it so hard for me to try to understand?
All she needs is a bigger man
Why oh why... can't I see why she left me?

Why oh why... is it so hard for me to try to understand?
All she needs is a bigger man
Why oh why... can't I see why she left me?


Incomplete

- Words by Aaron Dean, music by Matthew Benton

Not every kid has got a car
Not every boy has got a girl
Not every Russia's got a Czar
But ya get along anyway

Not every Mailman has the mail
Not every salesman has a sale
Not every bucket has a pail
But ya get along anyway
Not every book has got an end
Not every Barbie has a Ken
Not every Rooster's got a hen
But ya get along anyway

I'm incomplete like everyone; I'm not too cool
I'm coming back like the prodigal son
So I must be a tool,
A fool, a fool, a fool for you

So every jock has got a ball
So every fall guy takes a fall
And all the kids are at the mall
So I'll get along anyway
So every Clyde has got his course
And every Jedi has the force
And every jockey's got a horse
So I'll get along any way

I'm incomplete like everyone; I'm not too cool
I'm coming back like the prodigal son
So I must be a tool,
A fool, a fool, a fool for you


Last Minute

- Words and music by Matthew Benton

It's the last minute I've come to know so well
We seem to go back quite a ways
Why do I always put this pressure on myself?
Maybe I will learn to deal with it someday

Don't get me wrong; it's not all bad.
I just wish I weren't a lazy ass
Everyday I dread getting out of bed
Can't someone just do it for me?

Can't it wait until tomorrow?
Procrastination is my middle name
Can't I put it off just one more day?
You know it'll still be the same tomorrow

I hit the snooze bar and fall back asleep.
I think Ill call in sick to work.
I went to chemistry yesterday.
Class is optional anyway.

Can't it wait until tomorrow?
Procrastination is my middle name.
Can't I put it off just one more day?
You know it'll still be the same tomorrow.

Can't it wait until tomorrow?
Procrastination is my middle name.
Can't I put it off just one more day?
You know it'll still be the same tomorrow.


Pierce My Nose

- Words by Aaron Dean, Music by Aaron Dean and Shaun Moore

I like to look, look at my reflection
I wish I could, could make a correction
I'd do anything you tell me to
I'll even pierce my nose for you

I really love all the world's religions
I wish I could make the world's decision
So be you Christian, or be you Jew
I guess I'll pierce my nose for you

I love to talk, talk about the weather
As long as it's, it's done together
You've loved so many, I've loved so few
I guess I'll pierce my nose for you

Pierce my nose pierce my nose
Pierce my fingers and my toes
Piercing this, piercing that
Piercing cartilage and fat


Rock Czar

- Words by Aaron Dean, Music by Matt Benton and Nate Burtch

You're slick and deceiving, you've lost all you're meaning
How can you say that and do what you do?
You face me and look back, somewhere you were sidetracked
From friendship to fortune and now you're very cool

This business you'll profit, you're music come of it
Is great and you know it that remains true
But business as usual, the spark and the fuse will
Burn out from the time and change as changes do

I'll know and I won't care. You'll look and I'm not there
You're robots and yesmen will all turn you away
The kids won't buy your shit
And those huge pants soon will fit
You'll wonder where you lost the edge

You've made the strive and commitment,
You've got the equipment
Your charm and your puppets all will take you far
You'll remember who I was, that is only because
I couldn't keep up with your pace as a punk rock czar

I'll know and I won't care. You'll look and I'm not there
You're robots and yesmen will all turn you away
The kids won't buy your shit
And those huge pants soon will fit
You'll wonder where you lost the edge


Standing Still

- Words and Music by Matthew Benton

Have you ever wanted to say what's on your mind?
But you're afraid it's not the right time.
I'm so scared to tell you what I feel for you.
I wish I knew what you were thinking
...And if you liked me too

I get all choked up inside
All that I can do is smile
I'm not asking for forever,
Just to one day hold your hand

I wish that I could free my mind and ask you out
But I know its not the right time.
I'm just smiling at you, and you are smiling back at me
But it's so hard to tell behind that smile what it is I see

Maybe in a perfect world
Somehow you could be my girl
But it's not so I'll just sit
And watch you leave and not come back tomorrow

Why did you go away, I knew you'd never stay?
I would not know what to say if you ever came my way...someday


Trouble In Paradise

- Words by Aaron Dean, Music by Matt Benton and Nate Burtch

I remember the time when you were mine
But that's not what this song is about
But when you kicked my ass you left
Me in a period of self-doubt... ba ba ba...

I remember back then, when we were ten
That was the time I tried to kiss you
But you broke my nose; I'm sorry to say
That I am sick and I still miss you... ba ba ba...

I remember he should have fought back
But his dad said he shouldn't hit chicks
"Awe come on pop, cut me some slack.
She's Mr. T without a dick!"

I went through the pain of memory
But that's ok cause I'm over it now
But someday I get revenge; I've been
Lifting weight and you'll say, "Holy Cow!"


Valerie

- Words by Aaron Dean, Music by Matthew Benton and Nate Burtch

I know it's strange I'm not your age,
But could you love me anyway?
You knew me then, I think we can
But I'm a boy and you like men.

Your name in sand; you held my hand
Your boyfriends picture in my face
A stranger now; I don't know how
I'm much too lost to run your race

I see you now and I think how
I felt at fifteen -- nothing's changed
The time has come; I've grown up some
But awkward still I turn and run

Your name in sand; you held my hand
Your boyfriends picture in my face
A stranger now; I don't know how
I'm much too lost to run your race

It's still the same you say my name.
But you don't know it anymore.
What can I say? It's not my day.
You never liked me anyway

I'll say good-bye I'm not the guy
Was born too late, I'm out of time
A stranger now; I don't know how
So dumbfounded can't write this line
