Water In My Head

in all the water she said to me she said to me im sorry in all the water she said to me she said to me its alright all that i could say and all that i could do wasnt enough to convince her of what i thought i knew then all her words started to sound the same started to sound the same as water yeah all her words started to sound the same started to sound the same as BLAH BLAH BLAH she talked about some future plans and why our friendship had to end but it wasnt enough to change my mind about what i thought i knew im so confused and now im dealing with all the water in my head (4x)

Junior

junior's got the groove he don't need to go to school his musical insperation comes from his soul and all the other kids envy his ability to play if you can catch him live then this will make your day this boy has got ambitions that are so unreal his music is so unique it would be hard to steal he's got a vivd future and a shiny path ahead he plays with force and power and it doesn't seem to go to his head he's got the look he's got the hair he's got everting that sells he stays in line and plays on time he musically excels there ain't nothing for sure in this like we endure but for junior that might not be true cause when it comes to music there ain't nothing he can't do

Still Remains

she was just 15 just a girl i knew from school she had a tshirt that said fuck authority sat behind me singing, idiots rule and every now and then i think of her and all the things she couldve been or done it didnt have to end this way i guess it just the way some things end up you can talk about her you can call her names you can talk about her but everything still remains the same you could say she was an outcast or you could say she was a victim of circumstance she lost her mind cause she was different her parents told her it was ok they nevr paid any attention to the girl who was inside it didnt have to end this way but their words destroyed her mind
