[ Running From My Shadow ]
[ I’m Running So Hard ]
[ But Things Are Going By Me So Slow ]
[ Running Towards What I Want ]
[ These Are Just Words ]
[ Not A Taunt ]
[ Oftentimes I Don’t Know ]
[ Which Way To Go ]
[ Who Do I Follow? ]
[ Everyone’s Words, Sound So Hollow ]
[ So I Need, To Take The Chance ]
[ & Dance The Dance ]
[ My Gustatory Nerve Cells ]
[ Picks Up The Orders ]
[ & The Bad Smells ]
[ I’ve Always Thought My Nose Would Not Be As Good As
My Eyes ]
[ I Can’t Smell Them ]
[ But I Can See The Lies ]
[ Lies, Lies I Can See The Mouth Moving ]
[ But Your Words Are Not Very Soothing ]
[ What Are You Proving? ]
[ Are You Trying To Prove Me Wrong? ]
[ That’s Worth As Much As A Dance & A Song ]
[ It Is Short On Truth ]
[ But The Lies Are Long ]
[ I Don’t Know How We’ll Ever Get To The End Of The Line ]
[ He’s Doing Okay ]
[ But I Know I’m Doing Fine ]
[ Fine, Fine, Things Are Going Just Fine While We Go Dakine ]

[ Would We All Have Different Interpretations When Reading
The Same Text? ]
[ We All Are Where We Are, By Taking Different Roads ]
[ We All Stress In Different Ways Under Different Loads ]
[ Your Eyes ]
[ Are Totally Different, When Compared To Different Guys ]
[ Personal Views Are As Different As Each One Of Our

[ Others Might Excell On Taking Tests ]
[ But You Don’t, Even When Given Hints ]
[ Test Anxiety Is A Real Disorder For Some ]
[ If You Are Unable To Excell On Tests, That Doesn’t Mean That
You Are Dumb ]
[ When Someone Asks You To Look @ Things Through Their Eyes,
It Is An Impossible Task ]
[ You Are Always Amazed That Some People Still Ask ]
[ We All Could See The Same Thing On The Nightly News ]
[ Then We Each Would Have Our Own Individual Points Of
Views ]

[ You Did Not Even Stop To Say ( HI ) ]
[ Because You Wanted To Just Walk On By ]
[ Would He Tell You A Lie? ]
[ If He Was Forced To Tell You Why ]
[ The One Thing That Is So Different From One To Another ]
[ It Is The Mind ]
[ It Can Be Different Even Between Twin Brothers ]
[ But Studies Do Say That Twins Are More Of The Same Than
They Are Different ]
[ Sometimes It Also Depends On The Time Spent ]
[ Together Or Apart ]
[ Sometimes Distance Can Tug @ The Heart ]
[ As Much As We Are Different, We Are Kind Of The Same ]
[ We Have Nature To Blame ]

[ They Truly Believe That To Take A Soul They Must First Give
Up One ]
[ But For Some ]
[ Usually It’s One & Done ]
