STARSCREAM
(lyrics: Nunziata - music: Nunziata, Robinson, Murphy)
Sounds of pain in the living room, more black and blue
mother's wearing sunglasses
paint is chipping on the walls, where brother falls
hide until father passes
You've always talked about a better life
well, it's time to take you there
who's the answer to all of your prayers
he's jetting on through the air
Starscream is his name, changing is his game
all you need is equilibrium
Choking back tears underneath the sheets, hands balled to fists
wait just a little longer
years of struggle and pain, go down the drain
little boy's growing stronger
You've always talked about a better life
well, it's time to take you there
who's the answer to all of your prayers
he's jetting on through the air
Starscream is his name, changing is his game
all you need is equilibrium
Vocals & keyboards: Nunziata
Drums & backing vocals: Robinson
Guitar and backing vocals: Murphy
Nick says: Leave it to me to turn a song about my favorite Decepticon into a song about rising from the the depths of child abuse. Essentially it's something that shows up in a lot of the stuff I write both musically and in my 2,103 other ventures... having imagination and creativity through the rough times until you can rise above it. Musically, it was a keyboard riff (the chorus riff) that I didn't think would end up on a Package song but Micah liked it and we jammed to it. Steve added the progression between the chorus and verse and it came together. I love this tune.
