I can't believe you like the same music as me
Your brain's mac and cheese and I have to keep from nibbling
My memory's gone. Only fragments remain.
The prions are strong, but you smile and I fall for you again.
[Chorus]
I'm not undead. I could be the boy next door.
I like brains, but I love you more.
Let's run away from your father and we will
Fight the ZSE. I swear I'm not that hungry.
I won't let love tear us apart.
We can't go back, but you can't go far.
[Chorus]
I fought the ZSE. I couldn't keep my eyes from looking.
I like flesh. I guess my heart isn't overpowering.

Reader of books won't you come hang with me?
I'll be your best friend, your soul mate you'll see.
It's best not to hide
I'm a nerd, self-proclaimed
And I let my nerd flag fly
I'm a reader and a gamer
And a YouTube vid maker
And I like to ride bikes
I watch cricket when I write
Yes, I'm American
And no, I'm not ashamed
Maybe I was born on the wrong continent
It's too late to complain
I've a room for my books
And it's organized by color
White to black
I guarantee once you go bibliophile
You won't go back
Reader of books won't you come hang with me?
I'll be your best friend, your soul mate you'll see
You don't have to be a writer
You don't have to be a gamer
Or watch the same TV
You just have to be a reader
And a learner
And a thinker
With creativity
You can read Stephen King
You can read YA
Or Fifty Shades of Gray
As long as you learned a life lesson or two
And compassion along the way
Reader of books won't you come hang with me?
I'll be your best friend. Your soul mate, you'll see.

All the World's a Stage

I'm at a mirror
Reflected in a mirror
Reflecting eternity
And as I stare
At those faces
I don't know who I see
But if all the mirrors broke
Who would I be?
[Chorus]
We are (we are)
Who we pretend to be (pretend to be)
Well I don't know (don't know)
If that's true (that's true)
Or if I agree
And so I wonder
Which mask is really me.
Maybe
There is no real me
A composite
Of the people
I thought that I should be
So I ask
What would it take
To be free?
[Chorus]
All the world's a stage
We are merely players
If everyone pretends
Why do I feel like such a traitor?
[Chorus]

Between the Pages

Sometimes I feel like my insides are TWISTED
And I'm NOTHING SPECIAL
Spending time hiding from THE MADNESS UNDERNEATH
It was all dark, THIS THING CALLED THE FUTURE
No LIGHT IN THE ATTIC
Until I understood the power and freedom in words.
It is a truth, universally acknowledge
We're all made of stories
Like LUNA's or the BATBOY's or FRANKIE LANDAU-BANKS
We can't tell when we look in their faces THE THINGS THEY CARRIED
So this world around me makes for great escape
[Chorus]
To the life I lead between the pages
In the margins, and in the white spaces
I'll follow Karou on adventures wherever she may go
When they ask you WHERE SHE WENT tell them
They can find me between the pages
In the pages, ALL THE BROKEN PEICES feel like home.
I've been a FALSE PRINCE,
a MESSENGER,
BEHIND YOU and
BENEATH A METH MOON
An ALCHEMYST,
A MAGICIAN
A HERO and I WILL SAVE YOU
From the SCARS you find outside the pages
And from monsters, who call for CHAINS and
A SUBTLE KNIFE that leaves a BEAUTIFUL CHAOS
in it's WAKE.
From the CITY OF ASHES we will rise, like a phoenix
On a THONE OF FIRE until
TWILIGHT when I'm a REBEL ANGEL, EVIL,
Watching a COUNTDOWN that leads to a DEADLINE
Where we find THE FAULT IN OUR STARS.
So when I feel like my insides are twisted
and I'm nothing special
I remember I will live a thousand lives before I'm gone
I find peace in learning FOREVER is JUST ONE DAY
And WHY I FIGHT - AFTER EVER AFTER,
It's the reason I survive
[Chorus]

Evangelical Zeal

Sometimes it's hard to find
The hope to keep you going
I promise you that life
Won't always be this way
And so I recommend
An escape to see you through
[Chorus]
I think you should read this
With evangelical zeal
And I think you should read
For evangelical zeal
Find out you're not alone
You'll be forever changed
It isn't luck
When I find the right book
At the right time.
The universe conspires
To help me find my way.
Perhaps I was sent to you
To guide you on yours, too
[Chorus]
The shattered world
May never be repaired, completely
I finally found a place
In this broken world where I belong
I know in time you'll find
Somewhere to call your own
[Chorus]

So the music you'll find herein is inspired by the books that have spoken to me, or about reading in general. Happy listening, happy reading, and don't forget to be awesome. ... more
