Chorus

Bridge:

When I look out the window

All I see

Is the glowing of your face.

Your smile lights up the whole room

It's incredible to me.

When I look into your eyes

Everything is perfect

Not a worry on my mind

When I am with you

All the unsettling thoughts

They have no power

Jesus, you bring me to life

My life is in your hands

Chorus

Outro

Bridge:

As the Earth has approached 7 billion souls living in synchrony on October 31, 2011 It's time we start taking care of our planet and be cognizant of the consequences we cause. It's time we change the perception of the earth as more than just the land of molten rock we make our homes on, but we need to view it as part of us. Next time your walking down the street and you see litter or witness somebody else litter, pick it up and remind that individual that their destroying themselves. If we destroy the earth, we are destroying ourselves.

This song is an instrumental featuring Shawn Smyth and Anthony Wendler on drums,

Andrew Sheldon on bass, Phil Matthewson on synth or keyboards, and Brad Lake on guitar, editing, mixing, and mastering.

Much Love and please remember to take care of each other and our beautiful home called earth! We Love you! <3

This is the remix of Light Through Stained Glass that Zico and myself revised for my Psychological Human Sexuality class.

This song was written on behalf of self-awareness in correlation with the mainstream music industry’s influence or socialization upon the youth throughout the world. In this song, that topic deals with human sexuality on behalf of Dr. Rizo’s human sexuality class. The song was written in both narrative format and switches off to the first person format, multiple times, in order to inform listeners and to assist in conjuring up the imagery portrayed. Zico and my self’s purpose in writing the lyrical content was to allow listeners to observe the blissful ignorance portrayed in most mainstream music in current times through our exaggerations. The first major dilemma we raise: is the demoralization and objectification of women as nothing more than sex objects, secondly we focus on men and their gender roles in today’s society impacted majorly by celebrities and individuals they look up to, and lastly we shed awareness on the typically secretive aspects and dangers of sex: sexually transmitted diseases and mental illness.

Our song was meant to tell a story about a young man who has grown up in your traditional, nuclear, and loving family. Our point intended was to portray the potency of the socialization process, especially at a young age. Most of the time, during the maturation process of the sensitive age group of the high school years, teens are faced with the search for who they are. This precious time period makes socialization even more powerful. In our story, the young man connects his search for meaning or emptiness with the celebrities he looked up to. He then begins to have the idealism that it is cool to go out and have sexual interactions with as many women as possible and in our society ever most accepting. Eventually, his promiscuous lifestyle would soon catch up with him and lead to the inevitable taking of his life.

LYRICS

INTRODUCTION/ SPOKEN WORDS

There once was a young man that had everything going for him. His perception of the world was derived from the mainstream media and the society surrounding him. He learned to love sex. In fact, his world revolved around sex. What he would soon discover was that sex would be the ultimate demise of his life.

VERSE

Lost and confused, hormone induced, I’m so tired of being alone

Looking for a place, looking for some people. To feel welcome, to feel at home

To be one of the guys, I gotta prove I’m no bitch, gotta get messed up and mess around

Got to look for a girl, so I can brag to the guys about the chicks I pound.

I gotta be cool, gotta be sly, gotta have swag, I gotta be slick.

Jay Z and drake tells me its cool to have as much girls as I can to suck my dick

Without thinking of consequences from within

Like them, I’m just worrying about getting toasted, and sticking it in

CHORUS 1

I’m about to get drunk drunk!

Then I’m about to fuck fuck

If you’ve got a snatch then you’re surely out of luck luck!

I’m about to light it up up

About to get fucked up

If your ass is fine I’m tear that pussy up up.

Gotta be cool, gotta be fly, gotta be slick

Looking for any ole girl to suck this dick

Yeah I am a man man

Because I don’t give a damn damn

They call me the best in the world because of the way I do the ram ram.

VERSE 2 (Spoken Words)

The young man’s arrogance and recklessness lead to the formidable and unbearable diagnosis of being H.I.V. positive. With all of this being said he struggled to find purpose in his life. On top of all of this, he impregnated three different women, which inevitably lead to three abortions. The man learned a valuable lesson; unfortunately he was severely depressed and on the verge of suicide.

CHORUS 2

Still empty and still alone

Still disgruntled and on my own

The drugs and sex didn’t fill the void

Just led me on a path for me to be destroyed

My soul, my mind, my body, my heart

Is being shattered, dismembered, being torn apart

A darkness, and illness, has plagued me

It is killing myself; it will never let me be.

OUTRO (scream)

I have no reason to live

I condemn my spirit

I lived as a damn fool

Now I die as a sick man

Good day to you all, whether it be morning, afternoon, or evening. Whether your in China, America, Canada, Australia, England, Ireland, Brazil, or ect this song was created for you to help you remember that you are not alone in this world. We live in a very difficult time. Where our society seems to be worried about materialism and external attributes that don't matter one bit. The few of us whom have either just reached, or are pursuing our journey towards self actualization are on a very narrow road, and it can seem lonely sometimes because the rest of the world is lost. This song is for all of you individuals beginning to see through the darkness, the deception, or the illusion. Don't let the negativity bring you down. You should be ecstatic that you are blessed to see the truth!

Psychological theory on human division and competition:

An imperative goal as homo-sapiens, is to bond, relate with others, and find a soulmate to share commonality with. Inevitably, the formidable truth is that we are all unique individuals and relevancy lasts momentarily. In retrospect, to this actuality, arises anxiety and insecurity which causes the individual to focus primarily on exceptionality of status and class. In conclusion, this deceptive illusion formulated through perceptions of dissimilarities, results in division of humanity. Differences are unavoidable, and instead of allowing them to initiate insecurities and uneasiness, we must focus not upon superiority, but a common goal to come together to use our uniqueness to better our society.

Because we are socialized to become outer-directed, many of us have not experienced the self-approval which can blossom when we mainly capitalize on the reality of what is within us.

With this truth in mind, let this allow us to see through the deception of focusing on external attributes and competing to fill a cup that is never able to be filled. Focus on the betterment and unity of society and pleasing the Lord. This will bring on self satisfaction!

We Love you!

This is a song originally prescribed to represent a recently lost family member by the name of Lightning. Her soul was the motivation and energy used to derive the ideology for this song. This family member taught me the meaning of grace.

R.I.P. Lightning Lake May 2000-Nov 9th 2012

Lyrics:

Being real consists of rediscovering truth and reality in an age of deception and illusion.

Now it's time for the transformation.

The day of age where we all come together and we gain strength

to overcome adversity

to destroy artificially developed racism and discrimination that's bringing us down.

(Chorus)

Just let it out!

Be yourself no matter what life brings

Sometimes life will make it difficult to be truthful

But anything's achievable when you believe in yourself.

I just wanna be your source of light in this world

But all you do is flee

Don't ever judge anybody, but your own self

Your never gonna be the same.

(Chorus)

Just let it out!

Be yourself no matter what life brings

Sometimes life will make it difficult to be truthful

But anything's achievable when you believe in yourself.

(Outro)

Believe in yourself

Believe in yourself

We are looking for a vocalist with a splendid punk rock style who wants to have fun and record to this track.

This is a song in progress about the deceptions of our world, the men behind the curtains, and the group of elitists who call the shots. Lyrics to come, but there is a sample of the lyrics at the 3:38 marker.

This song is about a man who is on the verge of suicide in a cold dark world, but is strengthened by the light through the stained glass! No matter where you are in life, no matter how bad it can get, there is always light. (positivity) You just have to find it! Much Love! <3 Never give up!

(Intro)

Nothing is working everything is broken, I'm so lost and all alone

I wander this hollow world with an empty heart, from a broken home

The walls around me are closing in and the windows dirty and stained

I look out to the world inspired with apathy and distain

I gaze far into the darkness and barely see an approaching light

This event is spectacular, beautiful, and vividly bright

Is this an illusion or a manifestation that comes from within

Whatever the case I welcome this reign of light to begin.

(Chorus)

This light will serve as armor in this fight against greed, pain, and distress

This light will act as a remedy for the darkness whose goal is to oppress

This light will be my source of mental and spiritual rebirth

This light illuminates my soul and gives beauty to this earth

This light's my guide for a pathway to a blissful transgression

This light will lead me, to a better way, with beautiful progression

This light will show me that ugliness will come and will pass

This light shows me the beauty of the world through the stained glass

(Verse/Spoken)

Thank you ladies and gentlemen. I do not have the right to be prideful, but rather humble.

Courage is contagious. When a brave man takes a stand, the spines of all others are strengthened.

The light that bestowed hope upon me was the theological virtue of grace.

This reminded me, that when all hope is gone

When all control is gone

We always have the autonomy to choose our attitudes when the darkness casts it's shadow.

(Chorus2)

This journey I'm sent to embark to be absolved from all that is dark

Will be met with great opposition from the darkness who's sent to imprison

My soul, my mind, my body, my heart in attempt to break my spirit and tear me apart

I will not allow darkness to conquer me

I will destroy myself before I let that be

(Bridge)

Allow the light to engulf the darkness within me.

Let me not live blind. Allow me to die free!

There is always good and bad, light and darkness, positives and negatives. In reality we as human beings will be faced with negative circumstances, that's just being a realist. However, the motive of this song is to teach and/or remind everyone that through the transformation of your heart with love, we have the choice to decide how we react to every stimulus. With each negative or darkness faced, (stained glass) we have the ability to choose our attitudes and shine light through the stained glass. This is the purest and realest form of love. The love that shines through all negative situations. I love you guys! <3

Good day to all my brothers and sisters! This song was created to motivate, anger, and give you courage to stand up for your liberties and not be afraid to speak out. We are all living in a historic time period. Do we want to be remembered as the zombies who were manipulated and lied too and didn't do anything to stop it, or do we want to be remembered as the heroes of our time?

LYRICS: (Braveheart 1995 Mel Gibson Speech) ~Introduction

Fight For Freedom (chant)

It starts with getting a little angry

Stand up for what you believe in

Wake up the sheep with the truth

Before your led into the slaughter houses

Act now before it's to late.

Yeah, Don't be like the elite

Allow reason rather than appetite

To initiate the will to stand and fight

America is ours so lets all unite

Listen to Mel Gibson

Before we don't have the choice to make this decision

Im done observing this immoral unjust evil

Put me on a bike and call me Evel Knievel

(Spoken Words)

America, I 'm not trying to be negative and bring you down. I'm trying to bring you up by giving you the truth. We all need to grow up and we need to fix this. Together!

Born free in America

yeah Freedom

If you believe your free your ignorant

Stand up for what you believe in

Don't let them take away anymore

Liberties from the Patriot Act

Yeah

Stand up for your rights

Start loving your brother

Start Helping other people

Yeah

I want you to all be with each other!

Hello all my brothers and sisters. This is a partially sad song inspired by the loss of love in humanity. Our ideology in deriving this song was to make you aware of humanity's true nature being corrupted and lost in our current society that places material things before the deep spiritual aspects that really matter.

Lyrics and vocals by Zico Alame and Bradley Lake

Drums: Anthony Wendler

Guitar and Production: Bradley Lake

LYRICS:

The nature of man is not hate or greed.

This illusion we are a part of puts us all in need

The need we all thirst is often unknown

As a result, we feel broken, we feel alone

A void within our soul we seek to fill

This battle we call life is often up hill

We must all search deep within ourselves

To realize enlightenment is not derived from materialistic wealth

People of this world, we must learn not to fill our emptiness with substance and negative substitutions. Rather we must let the joy of love, forgiveness, and compassion, not just refill, but overflow the empty void. This will perpetuate life back to the way our creator intended it out to be. Now grab your brothers' and sisters' hands. Guide them in the right direction. Do this by leading through example!

The nature of man is full of love

This life of deceptions keeps us from rising above

Man must return to his true nature

Or this beautiful pure world will remain in danger

Humanity must not submit to misery and pain

Or this great experience of life would be lived in vein

When the power of love surmounts the love of power; the earth will know peace

A new consciousness is developing, that see's the world as a single organism, and recognizes that an organism at war with itself is doomed

We are all a large family

Love is in all of our hearts

But our elite societal control figures have turned us against each other

Their motto is simple: Divide and Conquer

Today is a new dawning

May we all go in peace, conscious of the problem at hand

Together as a family we will solve this

7 Billion strong!

I Love you!
