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

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.

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
