Ok, so
I’m on a show, that’s fine.
Cause I know the flow, alright.
All I need to know, this time
Is the freaking Do….oh yeah
 	&#8226;
All I need to know this time is when the fun is due, and what the f@ck! you want me to do…
 	&#8226;
Is it gonna be this way?
I was told I had potential to be, a respectable human being
Not a restless damn machine!
 	&#8226;
I can be your slave, in vain
But I must get paid, in fame
I will feel no shame, no pain
Cause I know your game, its lame
 	&#8226;
I shall not resign, so soon.
I’m ahead of time, of you.
Do you know my crime, you do.
I am feeling fine, it’s true.
 	&#8226;
Is it gonna be this way?
I was told I had potential to be, a respectable human being
Not a restless damn machine!
 	&#8226;
All I need to know this time is when my soul is due and where the f@ck you’re sending it to…
 	&#8226;
So you breed a machine.
Cause you need a machine.
 	&#8226;
Is it gonna be this way?
I was told I had potential to be, a respectable human being
Not a restless damn machine!
Is it gonna be this way?
I was told I had potential to be, a respectable human being
Not a restless damn machine!

Words

Begin is track 2 from the "No Excuses" album featuring Raphael Weinroth-Browne on cello.

Emotional yet powerful, a song for the broken.

“To see the light, one must sometimes have the courage to become the hated, the mighty.”

Begin

It’s hard to find the perfect time
It’s hard to draw a perfect line
The time has come
for no excuses
•
It’s hard to breath inside your mind
There are some things you ‘re scared to find
The time has come
for no excuses
•
Over the edge you ‘re falling
Over the edge you ‘ll come back
Over the edge you ‘re falling
Over the edge you will find hope
•
It’s fun to dream that you can fly
It’s fun to live the perfect lie
The time has come
for no excuses
•
Over the edge you ‘re falling
Over the edge you ‘ll come back
Over the edge you ‘re falling
Over the edge you will find hope

No Excuses

When I take a look inside,
All the troubles left behind.
In this perfect side of me,
there’s a place to never be.

The pain is still there.
The stain will never fade.

All the times that I have died,
But for you I never cried.
This is who I’ve always been,
All afraid I might be seen.

The pain is still there.
The stain will never fade.

I never believed in me,
Never believed in you.

STAIN

I'm walking all over you,
My city, mylife,I miss you too
Peeling thetime,I spent with you,
Meetingwith the child that I once knew

Don't you want me back when it rains?
I feel lost when I’m not there

Nothing short of everything

I’m braggingabout youtoo,
Your sound, your soul, that we made true
Now drifting away from you,
I follow the line that others drew

Can you take me, can you take me?

Can you take me back in my dreams, make time freeze and let me be?
Nothing short of everything, less or more
The joy pollution I hear, I’m here
Nothing less, nothing more

You have left a scar in me, that makes me see
The way my life should be, so real
No regrets, no restrains

You have left a scar in me
A scar in me that makes me see
The way my life should be
You have left a scar in me
