You're the only person I look up to, but no one's ever looked at me like that. Failure's just a constant you'll get used to. I've never met him, but you can ask my dad.
I'm sorry if I overstepped my bounds here, but I really need to get this off back. And it's not up to you if I am unwanted. You can tell it to the man who pays your checks.
You are just afraid of stepping in this cage, but be a man and see this one through. I've never been afraid of stepping in this cage.
I'm less scared of the monster than you.
Scream if you do want to do unto others, and they will scream back the faith you lack, while others still need fact before they scream.
Mother, father, put your faith in me.
Loving daughter, please remember me.
Trust me, brother, I am what you need.
Restless widow, I'll see you no longer grieve.

Jack & Mom

How do I go and screw things up? This time I really dropped the ball. I am a failure. Though it's unconditional, she doesn't feel that way at all. How can you be so damn sure? Please don't let her see me cry. Do what you can to hide the shame of not understanding that it's more important that you tried than to have never played the game. Love needs no more planning.
I'm ecstatic, but it's all short-lived and pretend. This is a smoke-screen for a failed dream. Every time I got a good thing going, it ends. Though my heart's burned, a lesson is learned. Just tell me what it is.
Jack and mom are here to stay, but we all know why I'm here. I am a buffer. Diamond's seem the thing to say, but they won't last you a year. I am a seer.

An Outclassed Song Title

If Outclassed can split up, then what of us all? Are the highest of eagles determined to fall? A red ring of death, and we all fall apart. The Nashvillian plague will soon mess up your heart.
Every painter needs a canvas he can call his own. Every artist needs a subject they can look down on.
And if I wait? Chastise forever not without desire. And never will have got a love to hold my hand and not my heart? This love will fold. Some greater than the parts.
Drama so delicate that housewife support pales in comparison to spousal divorce. Crossing the ocean or catalog dreams: crises averted through collegiate rings.

Have you ever seen the daylight shining so bright? Makes you wonder why they even bothered with night. This is now your home, with a garden to grow. So blessed be the daylight in you.
Fate will have us miss by steps. Every word you say is a mess. So close your eyes, and take a breath, and kiss me once goodnight.

Should I not have shared your bed? I am not the sole in this. Father, have I sinned here?
Is that you, and would you be here if I'm gone?
Is that you, and have you been here all along?
I'm not the one who said that. You are the one who said that. I'm not the one who's here alone.
Should I not have shared your bed? I am not the soul in this. Father, have I sinned here?

The Galactica Cycle

I couldn't sleep without dreams of you for months. Now I have suffered through everything at once. Back from it all to be born once anew, I no longer seem abused.
Mother, your child will soon no longer need your hand.
This has happened before, and this will happen again.
Gods' will it be? This story has no end.
This has happened before, and this will happen again.
I couldn't sleep without dreams of you for months. Now I am suffering everything at once. Back from it all to be born once anew, I no longer seem abused.
