Runaway
Lyrics: Stephanie Anderson
Music and Arrangement: Ezekiel Goodrick
Please leave me here
Run Away
They're coming near
As night takes the day
Keep your eyes closed
Run Away
Just go please now
There's nothing to say
I'll never be free
Why can't you help me?
Chorus:
Just run and don't look back
I'll be just fine
Run now so quickly
Leave me behind
Please go on now
They're almost here
They know where I am see
They smell my fear
They breathe and you hear
them
They whistle and shriek
Can't get away from them
There's nothing for me
I'll never be free
Why can't you help me?
Chorus
I just want to say sorry
It's all my fault, I know
I just wanted to make things right
Not hurt you, so please go

Punishment for the Innocent
Lyrics: Nicole Ward
Music and Arrangement: Breanna Paletta and Chad Turner
Empty Words, empty love
Leads to your despair
Your hallowed heart soaks it
in
'til you drown on
What's not there
Endless debt to be paid,
choosing either or
And before standing up
and hitting the floor
Hit the floor
Chorus: They say my fight will end in vain
But life and death deserve the same
You took my heart without consent
It's punishment for the innocent
Time spent to please,
I'm crumbled under your
tears
I can't breathe, you leaving's what I fear
Chorus

Radio Waves
Lyrics: Sami Walker
Music and Arrangement: Ryan Andrews
The sun-heart was beating,
While it was early Arizona
The Chevy was tired
And laced with sweaty voodoo dolls
Our young hearts
Swung from monkey bars
And blisters stung our palms
Perforating faces,
with slims and safety pins
We mostly sat in silence,
and soda syrup and sin
Chorus:
Everywhere we dance it seems
The highway follows you and me
With sand in our shoes and souls
No matter where we go
It's like Gods speak in radio waves
Gods speak in radio waves
So, turn up, turn up the radio
The storm was pulsing
In mid-Portland daydream
Your tarnished Toyota
Runs down the highway and humbles
Love pushed through our sanity
Like pins into plaster
The patience passed, with lilac
lupine, and lies
Lucid strolls down the train tracks, were
reckless writhing
Chorus
It was late Manhattan
And the leaves were falling down
The Subway smarts like prophecy
And sweeps us off our feet
Our children, we named them
After fruit and mathematicians
Filling our pockets
with zeugmas and Zippos
We tumbled towards forgiveness
And confessed to the flowers
Chorus

Divine Silence
Lyrics: Jeff Aquino
Music and Arrangement: Stephanie Schneiderman
You listen to the screaming
You see them stand and stare
You know deep down inside
They never even cared
You wish for them to go away
You wish for it to stop
You lay alone in the darkness
Hoping to be forgot
Chorus:
And as you stand alone in
time
Loving silence it is so divine
Feel like you're the only one
Hoping to end it all alone
Feel like you're the only one
You walk into the room
See them lying there
You pull the secret from your pocket
And leave the eyes to stare
Sneaking out the back door
You see the engine's hot
You grab the keys and run away
Running to be forgot
Chorus
You push the gas
Speed Away
Time slows down
Into a daze
You see the lights
They're coming fast
You hit the brakes
You hear the crash
Chorus
You wake up to the screaming
You see them stand and stare
You know deep down inside
They really seem to care
You wish for them to stay
And for the pain to stop
Youfade into the darkness
Never to be forgot
And as you stand alone in
time
Loving silence it is so divine
Feel like you're the only one
Hoping to end it all alone
Feel like you're the only one . . .

Silence
Lyrics: Linda Doan
Music and Arrangement: Kevin Hahn and Jason Fellman
Tonight I sleep, in bitter
confusuion
Word they are, solemnly unwritten
On the letter to reconcile our feelings
And the vague photograph settled in its place
A simple answer waiting
after years of silence
Yet you speak nothing
Never to hear you whisper
And the words they are invisibly written
After all the sentimental
feelings
We once promised to share
I'll never forget, never let go
I'll find my redemption
Find our peace I know
Chorus:
A simple answer waiting
after years of silence
Yet you speak nothing
Never to hear you whisper
And the words they are invisibly written
On the letter that never existed
I'm asleep in my bed
Within the years of silence
I wait for redemption
wait for redemption
I hope of dreaming . . .

Fallen Angel
Lyrics: Tori Blake
Music and Arrangement: Jenn Dashney
she was the one who looked
so pure
she was the one who bewitched you
she was the one who seemed so perfect
but she was the one you should fear
yeah, she was the one you should fear
Chorus:
how have you been so naive
to think she would love you as I do
that fallen angel
what happened? you appear so
lost
I see your glazed expression,
you've slipped away
and now I lie here, tears soaking the covers
you, you're haunting my mind
please just leave me alone
Chorus
how could you do this?
how could you believe her?
after all we've been through
are you willing to throw it all away
all for a fallen angel?
how could I have been so
naive
to think you could love me,
how could I ever compete
with your fallen angel
Jenn Dashney: guitar and vocals
Change the World
Lyrics: Jessica Ayers
Music and Arrangement: Tom Grant
Change the world
That's what we need to do
Change the world
It starts with me and you
Change the world
It's what we're all about
Change the world
We can start now
All the corruption
And all the hate
Is being blamed
On some kids of today
All of the sorrow
And all of the pain
Is making our world
Into something that's strange
Change the world
That's what we need to do
Change the world
It starts with me and you
Change the world
It's what we're dreaming of
Change the world
Bring on the love
Change the world
It's what we really need now
Change the world
I think we know how
Everybody is blaming you and
me
For all the bad things
This world has come to be
So we need to stand up
For the good that we do
And change the world

Routine
Lyrics: Jessica LaChausse
Music and Arrangement: Bart Ferguson, Ted Ferguson,
and Mike Walker
Sunday morning's sun
Beaming my empty face
Nothing but September dreams
Unseen to my loved ones
Remorse for my desolate pace
This life I shall redeem
What will this day bring?
Chorus:
Not much of this restless sleep
Making promises I never keep
Grown tired of the memory
Living in this restless routine
This restless routine
Five cups of coffee
Shattered with such grace
Nothing but September dreams
Untold self pity
Such feelings of complication
Part of self discovery
What will this day bring?
Chorus
Buzz of static from the
radio
I lost my case
Nothing but September dreams
Defeat bitter black as coffee
Sprawled upon my kitchen floor
I see the direction I'm destined for
What will this day bring?

Playing Halo
Lyrics: Christian Pulsipher
Music and Arrangement: Rob Stroup
Pick up an XBox
Look for a game
Find one called Halo
Pick up the controller and play
Chorus:
Play as the master chief
Guns down elites
Hunt down the grunts,
the jackals, the hunters
the brutes and the buggers
Then gun down the flood,
gun down the flood
Pick up the rocket launcher
Look for a sword
Pull fast your trigger
You'll fly to your target
Chorus
The game is rated M
Young people shouldn't play
It gets really bloody
But if you're older than 17 . . .
Rob Stroup: all instruments and vocals
Again
Lyrics: Angela Baird
Music and Arrangement: colorfield
Cover your eyes once more
Hide behind your smile
No fear shown
No one will ever judge your happiness
Chorus:
No fear
No pain
No one will ever hurt me again
Here we go once more
My knight is waiting for me in the heavens
And the angels will guide me
To the spot my God will be
Chorus
Today is the day
The clouds have parted
The light is shining down
No longer will I hide behind my smile

Breathe
Lyrics: Nagisa Day
Music and Arrangement: John Henry Bourke
My scarf comes with me
wherever I go
Twenty-five bruises drawn
stribble and slow
I cannot breathe this heavy air
Choke me silent; take me there
Electric chills carve through my bones
I sit here, cold, and all alone
I need my scarf to keep me warm
and hold me
No one else can touch me
Pull it tight
breathe out . . .

Why
Lyrics: Kayla Sarginson
Music and Arrangement: The Neutrals
Why do you cry late at night
Letting yourself give way to
those salty tears?
Why must you be strong
When you're going to fall?
You give everyone else
support
When you need it you just hide
You go into dark silence
Of loneliness, while on the
outside
You seem fine
Why don't you see the light,
the helping hand
And the shoulder you
are scared to lean on?
Why do you keep your pain
Hidden from the others?
Why did you cut yourself last night?
Is that what you had to do to see if your still here?
Chorus
You know the pain because
you made a choice
A choice to hide behind
a fake smile everyday,
But I know what story your eyes tell.
It's a story of love, hurt, and above all
Memories, that never go
far from your mind.
I know that your brown eyes
are all out of tears
And you're all done fighting
Today you ask for support
Instead of just hiding
You will get out of the darkness
and the silence of loneliness
Now you will be just fine inside and out

I Got a Chinchilla
Lyrics: Markus Gilham
Music and Arrangement: Doug Stickler
I got a chinchilla
Dancin' on my wall
Hey, hey, chinchilla,
Dancin' on my wall
Eating pellets and chips
My Rice Krispies are in his dish,
I can't think of why he eats so much,
Geeze what a pig
I got a fat chinchilla,
Rollin' on my wall,
Hey wait fat chinchilla,
Rollin' on my wall,
He ate the words to my song
Man I can't think straight
My thoughts are all wrong
He's rollin' on my bed
Wait I think he's dead
Oh well, it happens
I got a dead chinchilla
And Rice Krispies in a bowl
A dead chinchilla
And Rice Krispies in a bowl

She Falls
Lyrics: Katie Luther
Music and Arrangement: Chris Mayther and Dave Fleschner
She is shallow she is weak
Hates herself for so many weeks
Here eyes are green outlined in black
Simply watch her turn her back
When she cries she goes for
days
Bring me down to her haze
Her only food is the air she breathes
Have to force her from her knees
Chorus:
Hated by her and I can't change it
I ask her to take care she can't arrange it
Her frail body it tries to fly
As she clings to the sky
And she falls and hits the floor
And I love her more and more
Our lives are tires and
uneventful
Causes pain cause life's so dull
I hate the way she slaps my face
When I ask for a change of pace
I try to smile and ask for peace
But instead she gives me grief
Her eyes are green outlined in black
Simply watch her turn her back

We're All the Same
Lyrics: Shawn Justus
Music and Arrangement: Julia Anne McCarl
You may be African-American
You may be Mexican-American
You may be Asian-American
You may be Caucasian American
Chorus:
But we're all the same
Inside we're all the same
We all bleed red
We all cry salty tears
We all feel pain
We all get wet when it rains
Chorus
Doesn't matter what you
believe in
Doesn't matter what tune you listen to
Doesn't matter who you hang out with
Only matters someone walks with you
Chorus
Doesn't matter what you say
It only matters what you do
We've got to get together
We've got to see it through

Anybody Me
Lyrics: Thomas Myers
Music and Arrangement: Kris Kirkman
I wish I knew what I was
saying
I don't have any idea
When I think about today
I choke and hope I'll make it through
Chorus:
If I could be anybody
If I could be anybody at all
It would be me
When I think about tomorrow
I shudder in revulsion
What I love to do is nothing compared
To the things that make me scream
Chorus
Here I am to anybody
Who really cares to see
I'll stay here until somebody sees me
If I could be anybody
If I could be anybody at all
If I could be anybody
If I could win this battle with myslef
Then I'd be happy
Kris Kirkman: guitars and vocals
Finding Me
Lyrics: Megan Aust
Music and Arrangement: Zach Hinkelman
Am I just like you?
Staring with no clue
Do you think like this too?
I have no sense of time
Maybe I'm losing my mind
Do you think like this too?
I got to get out and find me
I have to break free
Work out all my self doubt,
Let out all my shouts
Do you think like this too?
Running from all your fears
Never showing any tears
I hope I'm not like you
I figured it out (What I'm
all about)
You don't think (What I'm all about)
Like this too (What I'm all about)
I know I'm not like you
Chorus:
I finally broke free
Worked out all my self doubt
Let out all my shouts
I finally became myself
Chorus

Nucifera
Lyrics: Nicholas Hill
Music and Arrangement: Dave Rummans
Here, with ribbon-shackled
hair
Putting out the streetlamps by and by
Powdered death on our cheeks
We spin and spin and we spin and cry
We are crank doll dancers
Cup-caked chanters
Rhythm and sorrow
Rhythm and sorrow
Dance today
Dance tomorrow
Rhythm and sorrow
Rhythm and sorrow
Cry today
Whither tomorrow
Spinning flowers in the pond
Our petals sink, they fold, and we shine
And glow until our core is raw
We spin and spin and we spin and writhe
We are music box dancers
Powder-faced chanters
Rhythm and sorrow
Rhythm and sorrow
Dance today
Dance tomorrow
Rhythm and sorrow
Rhythm and sorrow
Smile today
Break tomorrow
Rhythm and sorrow
Rhythm and sorrow
Dance today
Dance tomorrow
Rhythm and sorrow
Rhythm and sorrow
Cry today
Whither tomorrow
We are crank doll dancers
Cup-caked dancers

Grizzly and the Man
Lyrics: Ivan Lescanec
Music and Arrangement: Dave Fleschner
A man was driving along the
road one day
When further on up along the way
He saw a grizzly bear
He leaned out his door
Said, "What are you walking out here for
In the middle of nowhere, all by your lonesome?"
To his surprise the hulk
turned to his car,
Said, "You know I'm just as confused as you are,"
The man jumped back in complete shock,
And stuttered out the window, "Y-y-you
can talk?"
Which caused the bear to guffaw:
"I can appreciate a good
laugh you see
And you did really ask a question of me
It's only fair that I should answer back.
So since we're headed along
the same road
I was wondering if you wouldn't mind
bearing the load, The guy said, "If you promise me one thing,
I would like it if you could remain unseen
It's just that people don't often travel with bears."
The grizzly nodded and
climbed on up
And the man who was driving
Started to crack up
Over how much his car
had sagged to the ground
After a few hours of driving
The bears stomach churned
So they pulled into a diner
where it was about to learn
that a bear wasn't the most accepted of beasts
The man said, "I don't mean
any offence to you,
If you want I can bring you back some food."
The man went inside
asked for the best
Darned local taxidermist
He had a project that might interest him
Well they pointed him to
The best man in town
And he took his new found friend on around
And after it was all said and done
The man in the car finally moved on
With a trophy strapped to the top of his car
The bear who could have been a prodigy
The greatest of any scientific discovery
Is now just a piece that's on display
And I think that he's there to this very day
Guarding that farmer's property
Better than a scarecrow
Keep the neighbors away too

Freedom
Lyrics: Deiner Tindall
Music and Arrangement: Marisa Anderson
there's a good path right
through the valley
there's a good road that
leads right onward
there's a good guy waiting in the middle
there's a god who waits all the time
chorus:
freedom travels in the sunshine
freedom travels in the stars
freedom that's all around
all around
people walk along the
pathway
people depart halfway
people who sing up on the mountain
people who fall down and cry
chorus
now there's people who are
lonely
now there's people who are sad and down
no there's people in great danger
now there's silent sounds in the air
