Sit behind the board of knobs,
keep the whole show running smooth.
When at the helm, it is Sanc's job
to bring this campus awesome tunes.
Team Jadakiss
And on the other microphone,
JC gives us all what we need;
Halloween boys who should be home
appreciatin' her BC.
Team Jadakiss
They came together,
won cash some years ago.
And now, united,
they play the stuff we need to know.
Like Foo Fighters and MCS,
Wizard Rock and Get Set Go,
Celeb gossip and PSAs.
They sound hot when on the air.

Front Door (Demo)

Why I tremble, after so many years--
where we began: the mat on your front porch.
It's welcoming but it might as well say, "Scram."
Spot the paper; leave it where it lays.
Those aren't my cars resting in the garage.
Close the mailbox, I have my own bills back home.
Four years later, it feels the same.
Backyard fenced in by a chipped green gate,
the same garish curtains through the windowpanes
and a want of shelter from the summer rains.
Where are you now? Maybe you're shopping,
stalking the aisles, coupons for groceries
or maybe toys and diapers for your new baby.
Perhaps you're inside watching some TV
or dancing to The Beatles' "Twist And Shout"
or you're asleep, tired of waiting for me.
Four years later, it feels the same.
Backyard fenced in by a chipped green gate,
the same garish curtains through the windowpanes
and a want of shelter from the summer rains.
If the door's locked, tightly and sadly,
feet won't force down what's already been closed.
They'll walk away, back down the paved driveway.
If it's ajar, I could just slip in
using the crack to get your attention.
Work through the years and find my way back.
The doorbell should ring, bring you to my face
You should greet me, I should smile back.
We should then sit, talk and learn about our new lives.

Posters (Demo)

Down come the posters -
no more clinging to the wall.
They're starting out tomorrow,
a four hour drive ahead.
And though they wish to stay here,
if they don't move, summer's heat
will weld tape to wall.
It's too hot;
the windows are locked.
Close the door
and step out.
Finish the pie slice,
the evening's fallen asleep.
Night's casino revolution,
the last thing that you see.
But recent friends return home;
you'll see them soon
when another world has become cooled.
It's too hot;
the windows are locked.
Close the door
and step out.

Luna Love Me (Demo)
03:08

Sitting on the lawn,
running my hand over the tips of the grass,
watching a world full of Hermiones running past,
carrying books to the greenhouses, permanent and hot
-- they're chasing everything that I'm not.
Frustrated, I lie back and look up into the sky.
There's an eclipse as your head shadows mine.
You want to know if I've seen a misplaced pair of Chucks;
I say, "Perhaps," and ask your name as I stumble getting up.
Luna, I think I'm falling for you,
and I need to know how you feel, so I know I'll have to ask.
Luna, I think I'm falling for you,
but the blank stare that you're giving me ain't helping me relax.
Cool radish earrings and a pair of Spectrespecs hiding two
silvery-blue eyes you claim will one day see the truth
of crumple-horned snorkacks and a heliopath army,
but when you go out searching, I just hope that you take me.
Luna, I think I'm falling for you,
and I need to know how you feel, so I know I'll have to ask.
Luna, I think I'm falling for you,
but the blank stare that you're giving me ain't helping me relax.
Luna, I think I'm falling for you,
and I need to know how you feel, so I know I'll have to ask.
Luna, I think I'm falling for you,
but the blank stare that you're giving me ain't helping me relax.

Paul Riley recommends:
Third in a four-EP series, Ben Morey's "Songs" perfectly captures the terrifying reality of existence with beautiful acoustic honesty. Life may be scary, but Ben Morey's music gives me hope.
