11:17My name's Eric Penn. I'm straight from Virginia Beach, Virginia.
11:20Y'all mind if I do a couple songs and go?
11:22The saying goes, if it stays, let it stay for a little while
11:26But if it goes, let it go, even if you long for it
11:31What if it leaves and it leaves an open wound that consumes you?
11:35And a smile that you put on, that's how my long won't even mask it up
11:40Sinking sand, I fell in sinking sand
11:45Sinking in, never to see again
11:49When the blind leaves the blind
11:51The best view is from behind
11:54Hindsight 2020, would you still power forward?
11:57Would you look like Dirk seeing shit from the outside?
12:01Would you round third, head to my crib in the nighttime?
12:07If the sex right probability is high, I'd be there every night
12:12Well, at least a couple times

12:28What if it leaves and it leaves an open wound
12:32That consumes you and a smile that you put on
12:35That's a mile long, won't even mask it up
12:39Sinking sand, I fell in sinking sand
12:43Sinking in, never to see again
