[Verse1]
Sometimes you wake up around midnight
You get up, and stare into the dark
who am I? why was I born? what is my purpose?
Intrusive thoughts, occupy the mind
You've made mistakes, the ghosts keep coming back to haunt you
you cry in silence, don't want to wake your wife

[Pre-Chorus]
One moment you feel alright, the next you spiral
angels and demons, a battle of the psych


[Chorus1]
You feel insane, You feel isolated
You don't want to live
so go ahead and take your pills

You feel better, you feel motivated
you're unstoppable
so you don't have to take those pills


[Verse2]
The next day, you go about your day as usual
they see you smile, they want to shake your hand
Good job, you've crafted the perfect persona
Who are you kidding? how long will this last?
You get home, the battle goes on in your head
Who will win? it's you against yourself

[Pre-Chorus]
It's too late, now look at yourself in the mirror
What you see, is a reflection of the words:

[Chorus2]
You feel insane, You feel isolated
You don't want to live
so go ahead and take your pills

You feel better, you feel motivated
you're unstoppable
so you don't have to take those pills
[Guitar Solo Plays]

[Bridge]
Don't shut your eyes so fast
Everyone deserves a second chance
Before it ends tonight
I want you to know, that I forgive you...

[guitar riff]
That I forgive you...oh

[LastChorus]
You feel insane, You feel isolated
You don't want to live
so go ahead and take your pills

You feel better, you feel motivated
you're unstoppable
so you don't have to take those pills.

[Chorus repeats as the song fades out with a guitar solo/riffs]

That Girl is Evil (Demo)

Lyrics: 

Who is that over there?
(Sitting in the corner of the party)
He don’t even care
(Counting down til midnight; happy new year)
Somebody to blame
(For the family mistakes and fights)
He’s had enough
(Grabs his leather jacket as he walks out)

Facing the mirror
The truth looks back at him
he’s not a hero
Who cares what the world thinks

He is the BLACKSHEEP
For thinking differently
He drives a black jeep
Down streets of miami
Zero to sixty
Ain’t gonna stop for nobody
Even the wolves are scrambling
Here comes the BLACKSHEEP

He has no friends
(People only use him; ‘friends’ is just a word)
A rebel heart
(He’s not going down without a fight)
He’s a skeptic
(He doesn’t believe that ‘2+2 is 5’)
He’s not the one
(He’s the antithesis to a church guy)

Facing the mirror
The truth looks back at him
He’s not a hero
Who cares what the world thinks

He is the BLACKSHEEP
For thinking differently
He drives a black jeep
Down streets of miami
Zero to sixty
Ain't gonna stop for nobody
Even the wolves are scrambling
Here comes the BLACKSHEEP

All the white sheep are gathered with the wolves
It’s a party of hypocrites and fools
Everybody pretending to be cool
As for the BLACKSHEEP, indifference is fuel

He is the BLACKSHEEP
For thinking differently
He drives a black jeep
Around streets of miami
Zero to sixty
Aint gonna stop for nobody
Even the wolves are scrambling
He is the BLACKSHEEP

He is the BLACKSHEEP
For thinking differently
He drives a black jeep
Around streets of miami
Zero to sixty
Aint gonna stop for nobody
Even the wolves are scrambling
He is the BLACKSHEEP

Molly wit da Peanut Butta

A song about defying expectations and stereotypes people have of me become of where I was born.

Erik Soriano - Assuming

We are two
Little lovers who
Value ideals over truth

Challengers
Of the status quo
Nobody believed this could work

Attitude
over aptitude
Together we’ll make it through

Let’s assume
Our hearts won’t change
We’ll be together til the end

Assuming
You are mine and I’m yours forever
It doesn’t matter when the world may end
Assuming
I go first
I’ll be leaving you this song

Assuming...

(music)

I don’t mind
Riding lows and highs
Anything to be with you

In a mansion
Or cardboard Box
Anywhere can be our home

Honesty
And monogamy
Are everything that we need

Let’s assume
Our hearts won’t change
We’ll be together til the end

Assuming
You are mine and I’m yours forever
It doesn’t matter when thr world may end
Assuming
I go first
I’ll be leaving you this song
Assuming
It’s a crime to embrace these feelings
I am ready for the punishment
Assuming
You go first
Don’t forget to take this song

Assuming you are mine and I’m yours...Ah....

Assuming
You are mine and I’m yours forever
It doesn’t matter when thr world may end
Assuming
I go first
I’ll be leaving you this song
Assuming
It’s a crime to embrace these feelings
I am ready for the punishment
Assuming
You go first
Don’t forget to take this song
