OLD SCHOOL E.P. (2004)

(ALL LYRICS BY ISAAC IRVINE)

JUST LIKE YOU

Many Masks that you will try on the path to growing old

Differant faces, differant skins to shed until you reach your goal

The mold will set, the clay will dry to the mask from which you hide

What matters most, intact remains the person trapped inside

The beliefs and ideas, the thoughts that run amuck

Will have all grown and changed but not have died with any luck

'Til then make fun of those who don't act or dress like you

While they're on the other side making fun of you

Making Fun Of You

Some choose to hide behind a mohawk and tattoos

Others choose a raiders jacket, others choose a tie and suit

But underneath our exo-skeleton we all look the same

Get some turpentine and start to strip away the name

Strip away the face, identity, where they live

Strip it all away 'til you see what it is that you have left

A heart and a mind and a soul too

On the inside they look just like you

Just Like You

CARINGLY IMPAIRED

Life sucks and then you die

So sit around and sulk, sit around cry

Another stupid girl has got you down again

Had another fling and lost another friend

Why can't I stay why can't I stay

Interested in you for longer than a day

I tried commitment I tried trust and

ended up a victim of other peoples lust

Put my faith in other people's hands

Fell flat on my face won't try that again

Why Can't you stay Why can't you stay

Interested in me for longer than a day

Longing so much to care

It seems I can't 'cause I'm caringly impaired

I don't wanna hurt my self, mostly I don't want to hurt anybody else

Now a days it gets so hard to try

It's like they say once bitten twice shy

Aw what the hell throw the dice again

And take it past the point of being only friends

Maybe we'll lose and maybe we'll win

But there's no going back to being only friends

Why can't you stay Why can't I stay

Interested in us for longer than a day

VOICES (REMIX)

I hear voices, voices in my mind
Voices from the past that always seem to find
Seem to find their way, way into my head
Whispering to me what other people said
Said to me. I try to ignore, ignore what they say
But these voices they won't go away

These voices, they come from all around
tell me how to live, try to bring me down
down to earth, but earth is so boring
they don't want me hope, don't want me to dream
Dreams are a waste of time that's what they say
I don't want to listen but they won't go away

I hear voices, voices from my heart
that tell me not to stray, stray from the path
The path I want to take, take what I want
Want outta life, life that is mine
Do what I feel is right
The voices are still there but what they try to say
I will ignore I will make them go away
 

SIXTEEN

Sixteen and on the street, begging for some food to eat
Where did you go wrong?
Yesterday at play, today another runaway
Where do you belong?
Looking for something else out there, looks like it found you
Thought you'd live life without a care instead you live without a clue

My life sucks and no one cares, this stupid world isn't fair
I'm gonna show you all!
You don't care about me, Just wait and you will see
I'm gonna be 20 stories tall
Looking for something else out there, looks like it found you
Thought you'd live life without a care instead you live without a clue

I'm gonna be an actress, I'm gonna join a band
I'm gonna make it big and have a million fans
I don't need you, I don't need anybody
Nobody cares, Nobody cares about me
I'm only doing this to make some extra dough
To get back on my feet then things will start to flow
Oh GOD, Please get him off me, wasn't supposed to be like this
Is this how my life ends? Tell me now will I be missed?

FADED

You came into my life through a revolving door. There for a short time and then you're there no more. You will always be a small part of me, but friends again we can never be. You were there yesterday but now you're gone. We used to be so happy and then something went wrong. You were always there. You were a part of me. Now you're nothing more than a faded memory. See you every now and then in my photo book and then I turn the page and you don't get a second look. I must admit that I wonder what you're doing now. Looking back to yesteryear I can't see how we got so crazy. Sometimes I almost lost my mind. We were young and foolish, were so naive. Growing up can be so unkind when yourself you can not find. Go ahead and live your own life knowing I don't blame you. I was also in the wrong. Two birds of different feathers never meant to get along.
