Lyrics:
Outside Looking In 1/14/2010 | Song # 409 (Version 3)

I’m one of those kids who never fits in
Always out side looking in
At the cool kids having all the fun

I like to read, I like to write
I like to watch the birds in flight
I don’t see the world in terms of black and white

I like to sing, I like to skate,
I like to investigate
The movements of tectonic plates

I want to design a pollution free car
I want to travel to the stars
I like to collect things in mason jars

Refrain:
Sometimes it’s lonely being the only one
Excluded from the fun
Sometimes its hard to stand apart
But I like that I like what I like to do

Sometimes I wear black sometimes I wear pink
Have you ever thought to think
About how many times a day you blink?

You just might have noticed I like to take photos
And I focus in so closely
That ordinary things begin to sing

When I turn my camera on I’m suddenly calm
And I feel a sense of peace
Every time I hear my shutter release

Refrain:

When the popular crowd gets a little too loud
I imagine I’m on a cloud
Watching the world so far below
(Repeat 1st verse)

Lyrics
The Kingdom of Conformity
(Version 3)| 1/15/2010 | Song #410

Refrain:
In the Kingdom of Conformity
Meme is authority
In the Kingdom of Conformity
You better follow the majority
In the Kingdom of Conformity
In the Kingdom of Conformity
Your sole purpose here on earth is
To look good upon the surface

No matter what you do
You should have done better
You might be light
But not light as a feather
Is your skin as tough as leather?
Listen to Her, She will make it all better…
Not enough dough? At least put on a show
Go the same way everybody goes

Refrain:

Everyone else is being the self
That everyone else is trying to be
Everyone else is trying to be
Exactly like her majesty
That marvelous “she” we all want to be
Lives out her days so happily
In the center of the world known as the
Kingdom of conformity

Refrain:

Lyrics:
BeautyFull | Song #402 | 10/17/09

I saw this video on you tube
They took a normal looking young woman.
With the help of a lot of makeup and Photoshop
Turned her into a model of perfection

And it got my attention
And I thought to my self…
If the people I’m supposed to look like
don’t even look like
what they’ve been made up to look like….
Is any one real?
And what’s the deal?

Refrain:
What if I believe I am
Beautyfull?
Exactly as I am?
Beautyfull X2

Refrain:

So I turned off the computer
I went to the mirror
(mirror, mirror, on the wall…)
And I looked at myself.
And I said, “self,
You… are… BEAUTYFULL!

Refrain2:
I believe I am
Beautyfull
Exactly as I am
Beautyfull
(full of beauty!)
I believe I am
Beautyfull!
Exactly as I am
Beautyfull
