Some Of Us 04:19
Don't be so hard on yourself If it wasn't you, it'd be somebody else We all have to amputate some of our parts So we can relate And it seems like some of us cut off a lot less But hey! They don't bleed. And it seems like some of us, we don't get that far because we don't feel the need I need to bleed because I - I have dreams Don't feel so bad Everyone leaves, nothing lasts We all do what we have to do Who am I to try to stop you? And it seems like all is lost but it's really not if you know deep down inside that you sacrificed for what you know is right and you really tried I need to feel so that I know I'm real I try. I try.

Sparkleton 04:55
When you flash that smile It ignites a fire inside my heart When you look at me your fire meets mine and our hearts start to spark It's so dark outside but there's light shinin' on, shinin' on, shinin' on you and I I don't feel the chill With your hand in mine, hand in mine all I feel is the thrill You've got rhythm, you've got soul I've got devotion, baby let's go You've got bootleg tracks recorded on your phone Press the button, let's make music of our own Rock and Roll!! Swing!! Spread the love, the love, the love through everything!! Rock my soul - music is king! Spread the love, the love, the love through everything!! Spread the love through everything Spread the love, the love, the love through everything Spread the love through everything Spread the love through everything Spread the love through everything Spread the love, the love, the love through everything Spread the love through everything Spread the love, the love, the love through everything Spread the love through everything Spread the love through everything

The Beat 03:22
Some people don't know how to shake it they look like they're gonna break it when they try to fake it but hey man I'll take it because they're all partaking in the beat Some people don't know how to move it or just how to do it but I'm tellin' you you got it, you can't lose it don't be afraid to use it with the beat Ha! The Beat! Yeah! The Beat! Some people don't know how to move it or just how to use it but I'm tellin' you you got it, you can't lose it don't be afraid to use it with the beat Some people feel in their hearts and in their souls but each day it fades just a little bit more so we're here today to remind you all to keep the beat Yeah! The Beat! Ha! The Beat! Some people feel in their hearts and in their souls but each day it fades just a little bit more so we're here today to remind you all to keep the beat Because you cannot misuse it you cannot abuse it it comes back when you bruise it don't try to diffuse it just hear the music and feel the beat Yeah! The Beat! Ha! The Beat! You love the beat! You need the beat! You've got a lot to lose it's your mind - your one and only Some more than others but it's your mind - your one and only You've got a lot to lose it's your mind - your one and only Some more than others but it's your mind - your one and only

Pins 04:30
I'm walking on pins and needless things that need no heeding, no seeding and I'm falling in two feet deep I'm tearing up my knees in shallow water I can't crawl much farther And I'm thrashing and throwing fists not landing any hits because I know... The only way to win is to give in and let it go Let it go... Let it go! Let it go! Let it go! Ha! I'm tripping on particles of smoke and mirrors it should be much clearer and I am paralyzed hands down to my side with chains of paper and I'm trapped inside a darkened room but the door is open And I'm crashing and breaking things that I made by hand - irreplaceable - irreplaceable and I will never win because to begin is to give in and Let it go... Let it go! Let it go! Let it go! Let it.... Let it.... GO!

The Man 03:20
Incidentally... I will try to break it gently Consequently... I need you to pay attention because it's time to go wooooo... ooooooo... oooooo... ooooooo.. I think you're locked out and we are low on options we need to talk now but it's time to go wooooo... ooooooo... oooooo... ooooooo.. You can't stay here but I can You can't stay here but I'm the man You can't stay here when I can You can't stay here but I'm the man So you know now - so now I said it but I like you so baby lets forget it You can't stay here but I can You can't stay here but I'm the man We can't stay here but I don't care We can't stay here but we can go anywhere wooooo... ooooooo... oooooo... ooooooo.. oooooo... ooooooo... oooooo... ooooooo..

Too Cool 05:13
There's a yellow sun in the blue sky, but there's a black cloud and I've got a stain on my pants! If I could say don't run away and make you stay, then we could dance, dance, dance! Come on and dance! Dance! The air is thick with body heat - I kinda like it! I think it's neat If you move this way and start to sway, real slow this way, then we could dance, dance, dance! Ohhh come on and dance! Dance! What's that you say? You say no way! You say that you're too cool for me. You're too cool, too cool, too cool, too cool for me. You're too cool, too cool for me. So you said no... That's how it goes.. Was riding high until you went and let the air out. Well who needs you, I got new shoes and my sweet moves. I'm gonna dance, dance, dance! Yeah, I’m gonna dance! Dance! Yeah, I’m gonna dance all by myself - try not to stare! I'm gonna dance all by myself! Yeah! You're too cool, too cool, too cool, too cool for me. You're too cool, too cool, too cool, too cool for me. You're too cool, too cool, too cool, too cool for me. You're too cool, too cool for me. Yeah Yeah Yeah! Yeah! You're too cool, too cool, too cool, too cool for me. You're too cool, too cool, too cool, too cool for me. You're too cool, too cool, too cool, too cool for me. You're too cool, too cool for me. You know what? You're not cool. You're not cool at all.

about

Grown Up Avenger Stuff Charlotte, North Carolina

A quick description of our sound could be "Hard Indie Rock" - perhaps QotSA with some Motown inspired harmonies and the occasional drop-C tuning. What's so special about us? Our music has, even in the most dark intense moments, an embedded smile - a wish that the music touches your heart in a way that makes you feel happy to be alive and good about who you are. ... more
