From a suburb called Rancho Cucamonga come four musicians collectively named Rufio. It’s a punk rock cliché: suburban youth pick up instruments and play music together out of frustration, boredom or anger. Rufio’s story is similar enough. Scott and Clark grew up in the same neighborhood, attending high school together. And that’s where the cliché breaks down. The members of Rufio aren’t angry at the world or frustrated with life; they’ve come together for the sheer enjoyment of playing music with friends and sharing their songs with the public at large (http://rufio.positived.com)

Trapped inside of your eyes,
gleam like stars above, emptiness inside.
Caught inside of your arms, warmer than the sun,

emptiness so full.

Although I can see, time is not running out,
I still run behind everything.
I don’t understand, I embrace every thought,
every word... everything.

You’re watching, my heart being, so close to you,
you’re bleeding thoughts.
Open wounds still breathing
You’re my everything, you’re my everything...

Left behind hateful thoughts, overwhelmed by your mind,
lost in time again.
Shadows bringing me down, jealous of your face,
drowning in your awe.

Although I can see, time is not running out,
I still run behind everything.
I don’t understand, I embrace every thought,
every word... everything.

You’re watching, my heart being, so close to you,
you’re bleeding thoughts.
Open wounds still breathing
You’re my everything, you’re my everything...

Tears of unseen light, heart stopping.
Tears of unseen hope, heart stopping.

You’re watching, my heart being, so close to you,
you’re bleeding thoughts.
Open wounds still breathing
You’re my everything, you’re my everything...

The truth brings new meaning, your my everything,
and time stands still.
