Any comments would be appreciated. :]

Bluffton
Justin Shaffer

They were high-school heroes
All-State players
Always led their teams
In the Lord’s Prayer

And how does their Lord
The Almighty, repay them?
He leaves them for dead
On a bus in Atlanta

(Chorus)
They say that good things
Happen to those that pray
But how can that be
With what happened that day?
It just goes to show
When you ask for his grace
You can pray all you want
Doesn’t mean that you’re safe

They say they were lucky
To survive like they did
The same can’t be said
For those that are dead

But if they were lucky
They’d be happy like us
Instead of wishing
They weren’t on that bus

(Chorus)

It seems to me
Life’s pretty damn cruel
You can say it’s all planned
But don’t be a fool
And remember to live
Your life day-by-day
’Cause the end ain’t close
But it ain’t far away

Adrian
Justin Shaffer

A boy just sixteen
Stands in a parking lot
Over the body of some kid
He’d just shot
When he realizes
He’s still holding the gun
He throws it in a dumpster
And starts to run

(Chorus)
(Adrian) Your curtain’s falling way too fast
(Adrian) So much future, so little past
(Adrian) How can the scene already be done
(Adrian) When the show’s only just begun?

His feet keep running
But he’s not sure where
He can’t go home
There’s nobody there
Who will protect him
For what he has done
His fear still growing
He continues to run

He stops running
Though he doesn’t know why
He sits on the sidewalk
And starts to cry
Tired of life
As a thug on the street
He thinks his life over
As he sits there and weeps

(Chorus)

He can’t stop thinking
About the kid that’s dead
Thoughts of guilt
Run through his head
He could’ve been
Somebody’s brother
Probably the son
Of a caring mother

And now he’s done
This is the end
Of somebody’s life
Of somebody’s friend
He finally realizes
That he can’t win
So Adrian goes
To turn himself in

(Chorus)

Now he’s in jail
Where he’ll probably rot
Where his life and his cell
Is all that he’s got
Do you think the worst taste
That could ever be tasted
Is the taste of a good life
Gone wasted?

(Chorus x2)
