I Don't Wanna

I just want to be accepted
Rejected by the world around me
Deviating social boundaries
Living in what God has made me
Building on my Own Foundation
Coming from the worlds frustration
I just want to be accepted
NO, I don't want to be accepted

Many times I've been corrected
Many times I've been rejected
Monkey see but I won't do
Anything to be like you
Standing on a higher power
Shut away inside my tower
I just want to be accepted
NO, I don't want to be accepted

American Dreams 

American dreams are made of candy, love and peace
The melting pot is getting hot as time goes by
The baseball game has got the fans all worked in overtime
The Pumpkin pie is laced with self-hypnotic waste

Our founding father, George, he cannot tell a lie
A couching man lies in an allyway in Downtown Riverside
We're taught in school to make a pleadge unto a flag
One nation under God, who acts like God is dead

All our dreams come true in America
You make me blue in America
You make me sick in America
I feel the shifting of American Dreams

I live in America

I die in America

Sex Think

Dressed to kill walking down the street
Looking like you want to molest my eyes
Club on time, motive not far behind
Sometimes I wish I was blind
Now I can take into account that everybody needs
love but what you think is love is not
Magazine got the girl on the sell through
Is it your body or mind that defines you

God control my soul from the burdens of lust
Then close my eyes so I can realize
I'm falling victime to the norm abide
Sex think genocide

1920 women recieve the right to vote
Emancipation from the tyranny of suffrage
Around the nation women standing up in silence
One unified voice for equality

I see the apathetic minds now
Cause a trend has slowly formed within society
You want respect don't make yourself an object
Level out the feild don't let your body be the center
of scope

We've been taught by society to solicit our bodies as
sexual objects
I weep for the people of America
Our abuse of freedom will lead us back to slavery

Superman 

There's something in the way, I can't explain it
There's something deep within the back of my mind

I felt this touch before, I'm not afraid of it I can't
explain it, but I feel so alive

You must be Superman

My head is in the clouds, my feet are in the mud
My rag is filthy, I got blood on my hands

You look beyond the mud
You look beyond the blood
I can't explain it, but I feel so alive

Life of love in you I fear
Prisoner of pain the time is near

It's ok to feel this way, we've all got something to hide
We can make a difference, if we find the love HE grows inside
It's ok to make mistakes but don't forget the ONE who calls
We can breach the sonshine, breach the mind of God

Peter Piper Download the MP3

Peter Piper picked himself a nine and pulled the trigger
Peter packed and three are badly hit
Peter is a frustrated man without a purpose
At forty-two he lost his common sense

Had Peter only took a drink of Living Water

Mary Mary quite contrary lost her two young kids
In a river they were sadly found
A nation mourns and grieves with her
A now disheartened mother who took and drowned
her children for relief

In a courtroom, bound in chains, I see you cry
And every single step you take
And every breath you take-
You make me say...

Had Peter only took a drink of Living Water

Nonpoint Download the MP3

All night long
I hear you weaving
a brutal tapestry of obscenity
Never relenting your attack
A constant bludgeoning of my eardrums

Invading my thoughts with a sickening assault
Nonpoint mindset everything but anything that gives a little salt
I don't wanna hear about the things you're gonna do
I don't wanna hear about it

Penetrating vulgarity slow infecting my mind
If you can't say nothing good don't say anything at all
I can ardly remember what it is like to be free
Nonpoint consuming me

If I had a bar of soap
I'd wash your mouth clean out with it
Maybe for the very first time
Shut your mouth and release your mind
If I had the cuffs I'd arrest you for the crime

Polluting the airwaves with nothing good to say
Open mouth like an open grave
Choking on the vomit of the things you like to tell
And your toung itself set abalze by the fires of Hell

Nonpoint mindset wating time
Shut your mouth
Release your mind

Reflections

I see the old self all around me
I see my future dead ahead
Temptations floating up inside me
Oh God give me the strenght to live

I hear my memories calling
My darkest past enticing
Regressing thoughts provoking me
Help me I've slipped again

I am the new self
The old is dead inside me
And as this death shall rise within me
These memeories still live

I feel the pian of my affliction
I know the guilt of what I've done
My past corrodes what I've accomplished
I've got to gain control

I feel the warmth of your forgiveness
It's hard to let these demons lie
Bathed in the blood of my redemption
I once was blind, but now I function
