"Stellar McToptop Tippity Top!" May 22, 2013

From the EP The Calling, released August 26, 2012
"They'll lock you up if you don't play by the rules/ twist it out and beat it out of you in a  padded room/ so what do you do with a council full of charlatans/ pounding on the table with their dirty hands/ this is not an excuse it's just self-defense/ spit it out/ spit it out/ come on let it go/ they don't want no one to drive electric cars/ spending all the money o'building rockets that can shoot down all the stars...
/I'm against the government  anti-establishment/ and I love subversive elements/ might not ever be the president/ oh no"

From the album Plans, released August 30, 2005
"In Catholic school/ as vicious as Roman rule/ I got my knucles bruised/ by a lady in black/ and I held my tounge/ as she told me son/ fear is the heart of love/ so I never went back...
/you and me/ have seen everything to see/ from Bangkok to Calgary/ and the soles of your shoes/ are all worn down/ the time for sleep is now/ it's nothing to cry about/ 'cause we'll hold eachother soon/ in the blackest of rooms"

Song #107: Fences- Paramore
From the album Riot!, released June 12, 2007
"If you let me I could/ I'd show you how to build your fences/ set restrictions/ separate from the world/ that constant battle that you hate to fight/ just blame the limelight/ don't look up just let them think there's no place else you'd rather be/ and now you can't turn back/ because this road is all that you'll ever have/ and it's obvious that you're dying/ dying...
/yeah yeah well you're just a mess/ you do all this big talking/ now let's see you walk it"

From the album Share What Ya' Got, released 2004
"This time/ this year/ is bigger than us/ it goes on long after we're gone/ this town has taken it all out of us/ made us new men/ made us look at our lives through new eyes/ I love you in so many ways/ taught me to give/ to lose/ to love/ to be lost/ and now/ how to want/ I held your shoulders/ we cried in the dark/ that was last year/ and we were so scared/ so when it comes March/ will we march together/ ride bikes to the river/ and wreck them along the way"

"Now it's getting serious" February 25, 2013

From the EP Apathetic, released November 8, 2005
"I'm giving up/ I'm giving up slowly/ I'm blending in so that you won't even know me/ apart from this whole world that shares my fate/ this one last bullet you mention/ is my one last shot at redemption/ because I know to live/ you must give your life away/ and I've been housing all the doubt and insecurity/ and I've been locked in that house/ all the while you hold the key/ and I've been dying to get out/ it might be the death of me/ even though there's not way of know/ I promise that I'm going because/ oh oh/ gotta' get out of here/ I'm stuck inside this rut that I fell into my mistake"
