Unprecedented

Verse 1:
Walking down the street
It was just another rainy day
Umbrella in my hand
Storms don’t stand in my way
Don’t matter lightning or thunder
I just keeping moving by
People on their way to work
Didn’t pause even for a “Hi”
I was ordinary as the day
Passers didn’t think to look
But one girl in smiles stopped
An “I know you” was all it took

Bridge:
That is just a dream
I said, “Surely you don’t mean me”

Chorus:
Everyone thought how
But you can’t stop me now
I am well respected
I couldn’t imagine
My stardom came like magic
I am unprojected
In this world so unknown
I was able to hold my own
I am self sufficient
It’s just cause I’m unique
I dance to a different beat
I am unprecedented

Verse 2:
After that long day of work
I was ready for a nap
Went home to my couch
Stripes hopped into my lap
Thinking as the kitty purred
I couldn’t fall asleep
My mind was too occupied
So I turned on the TV
Indeed I had to blink twice
At the lady on the news
And the caption that read:
Zackie makes a breakthrough

Bridge:
That is just a dream
I said, “Surely you don’t mean me”

Chorus:
Everyone thought how
But you can’t stop me now
I am well respected
I couldn’t imagine
My stardom came like magic
I am unprojected
In this world so unknown
I was able to hold my own
I am self sufficient
It’s just cause I’m unique
I dance to a different beat
I am unprecedented

Bridge:
That is just a dream
I said, “Surely you don’t mean me”
She said, “I know it for a fact
Aren’t you Zackie R Mac”
That is when I knew I made it
I was famous

Ending Chorus:
No one could have thought
We said, “Oh please surely not”
I am unaffected
I never would have guessed
That I’d beat out all the rest
I am unexpected
No one could see me coming
Grabbed my dreams and started running
I am independent
No one ever dreamed
That my dreams would become believed
I am unprecedented

Fire cannot even burn my hands
I am unprecedented

Lessons and Legacy

Intro:
Of all the people out there
This one is for my fans
Who still can show their age
By using their hands

Verse 1:
It was maybe August
The year 1999
I was in the barn
With my grandpa all the time
That morning it was foggy
There were cows to be chased in
Being so adventurous
I decided I was going
My grandpa said be careful
But he said that all the time
I just ran ahead
It was a thrill to be outside
In the pasture was a bull
I didn’t even see him come
Soon I was the target
And I was on the run
I couldn’t catch my breath
There was no time to react
I started for the house
But the bull was hauling fast
By just about four seconds
I made it under the fence
My grandpa he had warned me
And I haven’t ran out since

Bridge:
My grandpa concerned
Lessons he’s learned
And a legacy he’s earned

Chorus:
He was passing on his lessons and legacy
When you’re young isn’t funny
How to old are boring with their stories
That pass on their lessons and legacy

Verse 2:
It was mid summer
Of the year 2005
We were in the river
Trying to pass the time
An idea struck
While watching the twigs float
We decided to construct
Forty Pepsi bottle boats
Becca and Abby
Were still quite too young
I was the big brother
Showing them the fun
Dumping buckets of water
A boat regatta race
Competition and failure
Who would get first place
At the same stage in growth
Skills built collectively
We would form evermore
The childhood memories
Sharing time together
The best of summer days
Learning with each other
A paragon of ways

Bridge:
A purity confirmed
Lessons we’ll learn
And a legacy we’ll earn

Chorus:
We were making our lessons and legacy
It’s only the experiences you have as a child
That you carry with you throughout your entire life
Creating our lessons and legacy

Verse 3:
It was the tenth of June
The year 2009
I was growing older
But then born a second time
The mirror image of me
Gage had so much grow
My first baby cousin
I had so much show
There were legends to teach
Pass example decisions
Like the epitome of a god
He’d be like my religion
Now I am a godfather
I am responsible
Standing at the altar
As I light his candle
Pride is in the surreal
My reason in everything
I look up for guidance
But he just looks up at me
I see the same sense of wonder
As he’s sipping on the bottle
Except now he’s the boy
And I am the role model

Bridge:
Now it was my turn
Lessons I’ve learned
And a legacy I’ve earned

Chorus:
I will pass on my lessons and legacy
Never would though childhood to be so ephemeral
Even harder to believe after that maturity is eternal
I will have to pass on my lessons and legacy

Ending:
You can’t take anything with you when you die
Might as well give it to the ones worth dying for
Leaving, Legends, Legacy, Lessons

May Tomorrow Never Be The End

Verse 1:
Oh how we get along
Cranking, talking request songs
Secrets to pass on
Reliving jokes is so fun
New gossip every morn
And I don’t want it to be gone

Bridge:
Pull up a chair
There’s room to sit down
Laughing every day
At tables all around

Chorus:
Now that I’ve finally found a friend
May tomorrow never be the end
Now that my life is not pretend
May tomorrow never be the end

Verse 2:
This is all I have
Humor is reason gone mad
How we love to laugh
Reason is humor gone bad
A step, a step back
It can’t be the end of the path

Bridge:
Pull up a chair
Take a seat, sit down
Laughing every day
At tables all around

Chorus:
Now that I’ve finally found a friend
May tomorrow never be the end
Now that my life is not pretend
May tomorrow never be the end

Now that I’ve finally found a friend
May tomorrow never be the end
Now that my life is not pretend
May tomorrow never be the end

Verse 3:
Come join us for lunch
We’ll give you a code name
You can laugh at the bunch
So sit down for the game
It’s the joy that comes each day
Our simple gathering
Love what we have to say
About what the day did bring
It’s just a little clique
Laughing at the rest
Our days are infinite
It’s not supposed to be over yet

Chorus:
Now that I’ve finally found a friend
May tomorrow never be the end
Now that my life is not pretend
May tomorrow never be the end

Now that I’ve finally found a friend
May tomorrow never be the end
Now that my life is not pretend
May tomorrow never be the end

Now that I’ve finally found a friend
May tomorrow never be the end
Now that my life is not pretend
May tomorrow never be the end

Now that I’ve finally found a friend
May tomorrow never be the end
Now that my life is not pretend
May tomorrow never be the end

Psychiatry

Verse 1:
Dangerous steps have been cast
Insanity from the past
Reminisce if I’m able
It’s tossed around the table
He says won’t be any harm
Listen to the clock alarm
Sleeping soundly on the bed
Puts a cool cloth on my head
Crying heavy fits of grief
Hoping praying for some peace

Bridge:
I’m beginning to think I need-eed psychiatry

Chorus:
The door clicks
The clock ticks
Psy-psy, psy-psy
Need the psy-chia-chia-try
Can’t take no more
Dig up the floor
Psy-psy, psy-psy
Need the psy-chia-chia-try

Verse 2:
Lock me up inside the room
Seal it never enter soon
Curtains close, curtains reveal
Teeth come with a strange appeal
Never enough to fill hole
Illusions can take a toll
No it wasn’t always there
Lost my vision don’t know where
Screams don’t echo all around
They’re blocked by the whisper sound

Bridge:
I’m beginning to think I need-eed psychiatry

Chorus:
The door clicks
The clock ticks
Psy-psy, psy-psy
Need the psy-chia-chia-try
Can’t take no more
Dig up the floor
Psy-psy, psy-psy
Need the psy-chia-chia-try

Verse 3:
Inmates thoughts on madhouse walls
May be worth publicizing
My only faith is your call
To get psychiatrizing

Chorus:
The door clicks
The clock ticks
Psy-psy, psy-psy
Need the psy-chia-chia-try
Can’t take no more
Dig up the floor
Psy-psy, psy-psy
Need the psy-chia-chia-try
The door clicks
The clock ticks
Psy-psy, psy-psy
Need the psy-chia-chia-try
Need to be saved
Before the grave
Psy-psy, psy-psy
Need the psy-chia-chia-try
When the door clicks
And the clock ticks
I need the psychiatry

More Than You Know

Verse 1:
More than I know
I miss the way, every day
You’re missing me
More than I know
You make me laugh, skipping class
Without company
More than I know
I’m dragged along, to hear what’s wrong
Just to disagree
More than I know
I find myself caring as, as I’m staring
In your eye with the pot leaf
I’d hang with or without you, it’s not a joke
Paint new layers on deeper, every brush every stroke

Chorus:
I’m falling head over heels
I’m getting concussions
Now I know how it feels
You got my blood rushin’
It’s not something that I wanna admit
But you’re not someone that I wanna forget
Don’t care how people talk
You can be my pumpkin
Love the boots when you walk
It’s got my blood pumpin’
Slipping hints to you to see where it goes
Cause I’m in love with you more than you know

Verse 2:
More than I know
You are caught, in my thoughts
Keeping me from sleep
More than I know
I imagine, what will happen
With the showgirl’s body
More than I know
What you attract, can’t hold me back
From my fantasies
More than I know
I’m enticed, for a surprise
Hugs and mystery
Once you kill a cow gotta, make a burger
Cause I would kill for you girl, say the word I’ll murder

Chorus:
I’m falling head over heels
I’m getting concussions
Now I know how it feels
You got my blood rushin’
It’s not something that I wanna admit
But you’re not someone that I wanna forget
Don’t care how people talk
You can be my pumpkin
Love the boots when you walk
It’s got my blood pumpin’
Slipping hints to you to see where it goes
Cause I’m in love with you more than you know

Verse 3:
I sense harmless flirting
From just the way you look
What would you say if you knew
I love you so much
I want the world to know
All my forbidden thoughts are of you

Chorus:
I’m falling head over heels
I’m getting concussions
Now I know how it feels
You got my blood rushin’
It’s not something that I wanna admit
But you’re not someone that I wanna forget
Don’t care how people talk
You can be my pumpkin
Love the boots when you walk
It’s got my blood pumpin’
Slipping hints to you to see where it goes
Cause I’m in love with you more than you know

Marathons

Verse 1:
With every step I make
And every breath I take
Another brick is added on the wall
Each chance sinks farther deeps
Fairytales cannot be reached
Do I have to want it all
Can’t even get back up if I fall

Chorus:
Laying outside in the grass
Sweating tears of my past
Climbing never felt so strong
Never thought to go through
It appears to all be new
Marathons don’t last too long

Verse 2:
The vision in focus blurs
Something steeper at every turn
Seems dreams are only done in vain
This is more than I ever asked
Come to grips I am not fast
Enough to handle my pain
And now there’s nothing I want to gain

Chorus:
Laying outside in the grass
Sweating tears of my past
Climbing never felt so strong
Never thought to go through
It appears to all be new
Marathons don’t last too long

Verse 3:
The first step is always the hardest one
Baby steps until the race is won

Chorus:
Laying outside in the grass
Sweating tears of my past
Climbing never felt so strong
Never thought to go through
It appears to all be new
Marathons don’t last too long
Marathons
Marathons don’t last too long

It Wasn't Always There

Intro:
All alone in the world
Just coloring with crayons
On top of the dome
Is where the guiding light stands
A wisp of fog sets
Obstructing the view
The path to the pets
Is there thanks to you

Verse 1:
My face shows a mark
Crafted from a god’s claws
Lamb to the Slaughter
Makes Harmat to pause
The pendulum swings
Why should I even care
Now a scar on my sole
That wasn’t always there

Chorus:
It wasn’t always there
It wasn’t always there
It wasn’t always there
It wasn’t always there

Verse 2:
Believing in Usdany
Is faith justified
A child once safe
Now questions loom inside
Mean swishes lead straight
Guidance points nowhere
An empty suspicion
That wasn’t always there

Chorus:
It wasn’t always there
It wasn’t always there
It wasn’t always there
It wasn’t always there

Verse 3:
The fear of all people can do
Is now there thanks to you

Chorus:
It wasn’t always there
It wasn’t always there
It wasn’t always there
It wasn’t always there

Primal Love

Intro:
There’s a predator on the loose
Coming over to cook my goose

Verse 1:
King of the jungle
Go tame the lion
The call of the wild
Leave you a crying
Your cougars prowling
To the snake charmer
The pig will squeal
At the zoo farmer

Bridge:
Howl, Moan
Growl, Groan
Meow, Bone

Chorus:
Its primal love
Animal instinct
Its primal love
A poulet kinked

Verse 2:
Tiger stalks his prey
Ready to attack
Wet as a frog
I’ve got your back
The panther pants
Just like a camel
Ready to pounce
Fantasy mammal

Bridge:
Howl, Moan
Growl, Groan
Meow, Bone

Chorus:
Its primal love
Animal instinct
Its primal love
A poulet kinked

Verse 3:
Do planet of the apes like that
And acting like pimps
We’ll be scratching like cats
Bananas for the chimps

You know it’s like unicorns
Everybody has one

Chorus:
Its primal love
Animal instinct
Its primal love
A poulet kinked

Its primal love
Animal instinct
Its primal love
A poulet kinked

Internal Peace

Intro:
Appearance doesn’t matter
No one’s here to criticize
Feelings are nonexistent
With people out of mind
Can’t make me pissed or sad
Even happiness comes from them
The only obstacle is myself
With the right mindset, no problem

Verse 1:
Time is unimportant
It’s just society’s measure
Of events meant to happen
Without it, it’s a pleasure
No reason to conform to that
My priorities are I
Isolation is nirvana
Time freely passes by

Bridge:
If I ever star feeling alone
It’s just my judgment telling me so
Because when no one else is here
Their opinions disappear

Chorus:
Here I’ve found my internal peace
My strengths and weaknesses
No one is here to judge me
Make their assumptive guesses
Contrary to popular belief
The only judgment is my own
Only I can make me weak
That’s why I’d much rather be alone

Verse 2:
I grow strong as a god
Nothing can go wrong
I control my destiny
It is here I wrote the songs
They aren’t for the world to hear
Only for me to reflect
Intentions born from power
Where the silence is perfect

Chorus:
Here I’ve found my internal peace
My strengths and weaknesses
No one is here to judge me
Make their assumptive guesses
Contrary to popular belief
The only judgment is my own
Only I can make me weak
That’s why I’d much rather be alone

Verse 3:
The willingness to wrestle with demons
Will cause angels to sing

Chorus:
Here I’ve found my internal peace
My strengths and weaknesses
No one is here to judge me
Make their assumptive guesses
Contrary to popular belief
The only judgment is my own
Only I can make me weak
That’s why I’d much rather be alone

Alone

Verse 1:
Emotions run raw
Cuts sink deep
I can end it all
Just one faithful leap
I’ll get what I want
They’ll get what they need
My manipulative lies
And everyone sees

Bridge:
I make the brightest stars burn dim
And even the heavens seem grim
Flower petals fall down to wither
And the smell of paradise turns bitter

Chorus:
Isn’t meant to be both, not just the bad
Guess it’s something I’ll never understand
Everyone hates me I’m fine with it
The world better without me I get it
Anyways
I’d much rather be alone

Verse 2:
I can write my songs
There are times it helps
In my icy world
And my blazing hell
My blood flows with pain
People are fiery
Record this in my
Secret diary

Bridge:
I make the brightest stars burn dim
And even the heavens seem grim
Flower petals fall down to wither
And the smell of paradise turns bitter

Chorus:
Isn’t meant to be both, not just the bad
Guess it’s something I’ll never understand
Everyone hates me I’m fine with it
The world better without me I get it
Anyways
I’d much rather be alone

Verse 3:
Pain is good in solitary
Pushed to the limit oh so very
Life is dead when it’s not scary
I’d much rather be alone
Pain is good in solitude
Pushed to the limit they intrude
Life is dead when it’s my food
I’d much rather be alone
Wrecked up hearts alone forever
Wrecked up brains we shall together
Wrecked up souls with Val forever
I’d much rather be alone

Bridge to Chorus:
I make the brightest stars burn dim
And even the heavens seem grim
Flower petals fall down to wither
And the smell of paradise turns bitter

Anyways
I’d much rather be alone

Two Faced

Verse 1:
I can’t look in mirrors
For the fear of what I’ll see
I don’t wanna know the truth
The truth is I am not me
I have never been in love
Why should I care anymore
The fear to open up
Has shattered my own support

Chorus:
People say I’m two faced
It has more truth then they know
They just see my happy place
I’d much rather be alone
People say I’m two faced
Backstabbing to deprive
Insecurities embraced
Just living a double life

Verse 2:
People are my enemy
I know I am all alone
Always questioning the trust
Of secret I can never let known
I believe to block all emotion
Hide vulnerabilities
So I lie to protect myself
It’s not strength, just instability

Chorus:
People say I’m two faced
It has more truth then they know
They just see my happy place
I’d much rather be alone
People say I’m two faced
Backstabbing to deprive
Insecurities embraced
Just living a double life

Verse 3:
People can’t understand me
That’s something they’ll never know
I don’t even know myself
When I’ll always be alone
I used to worry, I was left scarred
Covered up with a mask
Being who I was born was too hard
I became Zackie R Mac

Chorus:
People say I’m two faced
It has more truth then they know
They just see my happy place
I’d much rather be alone
People say I’m two faced
Backstabbing to deprive
Insecurities embraced
Just living a double life

Spaces

Verse 1:
There’s a space in the mail where your letters used to be
There’s a space in this song where your name used to be
There’s a space in my hand where your hand used to be
It’s not where it belongs
There’s a space in my ears where your laugh used to be
There’s a space in my bed where your comfort used to be
There’s a space in my wallet where your picture used to be
Now all those are gone

Chorus:
I look around and all I see
Spaces
On my wall when I’m meant to see
Faces
All it seems that you’ve left me
Traces
Cause when I look around all I see
Spaces

Verse 2:
There’s a space in my heart where your love used to be
There’s a space in my past where your touch used to be
There’s a space in my sky where your star used to be
Now it has fallen down
There’s a space in my phone where your number used to be
There’s a space in my soul where your warmth used to be
There’s a space in my life where you used to be
Where do I go now

Chorus:
I look around and all I see
Spaces
On my wall when I’m meant to see
Faces
All it seems that you’ve left me
Traces
I look around all I see
Spaces
On my wall when I’m meant to see
Faces
All it seems that you’ve left me
Traces
Cause when I look around all I see
Spaces

The Spirit of Harmony

Verse 1:
Decorating, buying for the festivities
Santa planning for many activities
Wonder what he brought me, gotta sneak a look
Feasting all day on food I didn’t have to cook
Rockin’ carols with birds, stuffing merrily
Love resides in the white Christmas frenzy

Chorus 1:
Judging cookies with Christmas cheer
The unity
The noise of shoppers craze here
Such cacophony
Music dances through my head, hear it
It’s melody
Child eyes are struck by the spirit
Of harmony

Verse 2:
Ripping out trees sledding together
Hill we built crying in snowy weather
Downstairs playing games, we’re all cutting loose
Upstairs party party, we’re making the news
Hours past the season it’s still going long
Love all around us, a new life to build on

Chorus 2:
Dancing, watching until lights appear
The unity
Toasting off glasses to the New Year
Such cacophony
Old folks tap as I play near it
Its melody
All the talks, stories to pass on the spirit
Of harmony
All the talks, stories to pass on the spirit
Of harmony

Eclipse

Intro:
In order to know what light is
You have to live through the dark
And even though the whole world may seem dark
There is always a light that shines on it
She is the sun

Verse 1:
I know the sun’s still out there
For the flowers are in full bloom
But the shadows fall across the land
All unexpectedly so soon
The breath of the air turns bitter
The leaves on the trees start falling
When even the echoes sound vacant
A voice from within is calling

Chorus:
There’s a total eclipse
When the moon blocks the light from the sun
Gotta remember a glimpse
Of the cherished times and the fun
While the tears drip
They cleanse the pain inside the soul
Cause during an eclipse
The sun seems more like a hole

Verse 2:
Eyes gaze up to the darkness
Where the light used to be
Were unable to imagine
Life without its company
Lakes freeze with still silence
Time stops, painfully shivers
Just know the warm and bright
Memories I still have with her

Chorus:
There’s a total eclipse
When the moon blocks the light from the sun
Gotta remember a glimpse
Of the cherished times and the fun
While the tears drip
They cleanse the pain inside the soul
Cause during an eclipse
The sun seems more like a hole

Verse 3:
She always shines
But is not always seen
She is the sun
Upon which I dream
Close my eyes
Though it’s still dark
When love is blocked
Open my heart

Chorus:
There’s a total eclipse
When the moon blocks the light from the sun
Gotta remember a glimpse
Of the cherished times and the fun
While the tears drip
They cleanse the pain inside the soul
Cause during an eclipse
She is an empty hole

Sometimes

Intro:
Guilty pleasure
My secret need
My confidante
Only I see
I’ll never love again
Never will want to
My one soul
I gave to you

Verse 1:
It’s all over
It’s no more
What went wrong
Was this for sure
We can work it out
There’s always hope
All other ways
We cannot cope

Should we throw in the towel right now or suffer misery
When Romeo and Juliet are perfect
Even if it’s a tragedy

Chorus:
Sometimes
We cannot feel
Sometimes
When we need to feel
Sometimes
What hurts to feel
Sometimes

Verse 2:
Crossed my stars
Where my heart lies
You told me that
Our love can’t die
The battleground
With cupids guns
Heartfelt warfare
Champions

But if we love each other half as much as we love to fight
Who knows we could be together ‘til death
Even if it happens tonight

Chorus:
Sometimes
We cannot feel
Sometimes
When we need to feel
Sometimes
What hurts to feel

Sometimes
We cannot feel
Sometimes
When we need to feel
Sometimes
What hurts to feel
Sometimes
Sometimes
