Jelly Sauce 03:10
Once you apologize, then you will realize The crux of your demise is the jelly sauce in your eyes Oh baby! The slipping and sliding when worlds are colliding  So what do I make of all this?  The twisting and turning when my ears are burning And what will they say of all this? The itching and scratching in how I’m reacting And why do I feel such remiss?  Your shit is stinking and what I am thinking is:  You will pay for all of this! Once you apologize, then you will realize The crux of your demise is the jelly sauce in your eyes Oh baby, you're crazy!  It seems that I can’t put my finger on top of it The lid seems to slip unless I firmly palm it The slipping and sliding when worlds are colliding  So what do I make of all this?  The twisting and turning when my ears are burning And what will they say of all this? The itching and scratching in how I’m reacting And why do I feel such remiss?  Your shit is stinking and what I am thinking is:  You will pay for all of this! Oh baby, you're crazy full of jelly sauce!

I know what’s going on s'got all kind of good I know I’m standing right where I should And I should take some pride in what I've done But still I’m feeling that I, that I can’t enjoy life, no I think of it, and I’m living it, but I’m...  Standing, stuck in time Searching for piece of mind Seems that I fall behind My memory is stuck in time There are the good days, when it just feels right For just a moment you're, you're in the right spot, oh ya But then there are the days, when it ain’t so bright I get to the point where I, I don’t know where I am  A little bit, and a lot of it, but I'm... Standing, stuck in time Searching for piece of mind Seems that I fall behind My memory is stuck in time I think of younger days when I didn’t care much for Anything but memories of good days Never a dull moment, always exploring, ya Making all the memories of good days So much to choose from, ya, and places to run off to  Chasing all the memories of good days Take me back to the younger days when I Only seemed to live good days

Drunk Walrus 04:29
Yelling all the time Keep on speaking from your mind Thinking all the time That you’ve got it figured out Breaking all the ties You’re an island stuck in time Yelling out your mind, ya you're screaming Whoa! Living for yourself There’s no one out there that you help You feel what you show We ought to know So I can’t stand to see it anymore When your mind can’t bear to bear it anymore Whoa! Yelling out your mind, ya you're screaming So I can’t stand to see it anymore When your mind can’t bear to bear it anymore

Yard Sale 03:42
Ready at dusk, awake at dawn I'll spread it all out all over the yard You'll be there -- you'll want to see! What's gold to you is garbage to me Day in, night out Rain or shine And I'll be waiting This one right here, you know it's a steal! One look at the back you know it's real I'll let it go for just a song You're buying my shit, I'm playing along But don't waste time, nickel/dime You pay full price, the rest is mine Day in, night out Rain or shine And I'll be waiting for the one that has come To buy each and every single one Don't waste time, nickel/dime You pay full price, the rest is mine Day in, night out Rain or shine

I'm Safe 05:07
Once in a lifetime and things can make sense You've put all the pieces together, they fit But now you're shook and you're took cuz you can't find a way To keep it the same so it won't go away And I'm safe It's been a minute since I've found the time The weeks into months and the years all unwind But now I'm shook and I'm took cuz I can't look away Can't find the moments in every new day And I'm safe, cuz I gave it all away But I'm safe, I'm sealing up the deal to my own fate You know I do it my own way It's like I pray, cuz I just think it every day

PA wake up: the bell Next thing that comes is help Nurse with medication Keeps things running in hell But I don't want to take all the meds It kills my body and kills my head Feels like I should nearly be dead I am going to get back to bed I don't like to go outside That's why you see me locked inside out Kid you've got to get up Take your meds from the cup You know why you are here Don't play fool now, you here? You act like you don't know it is All big business, just like show biz For the record: you know you're mine Today until the end of time I don't like to go outside That's why you see me locked inside out So you're in hell? How can I help? So this is hell? How do I help? I know it lives inside my heart You know it's what I seem to want I've known it from the very start You know it lives inside my heart Right down to each and every part I don't like to go outside That's why you see me locked inside out

Ceiling low overhead Pressure felt deep within the grey Can't see up, can't look down Every drop seems to make a sound Stuck in the middle, cursed by the mean I feel the average, it's where I've been Rain in the morning, more in the eve There's night and day and I'm stuck between Feeling strong, mounted high Days will change, then you seem to slide One foot down, one ahead Start to walk and the rain fills my head Stuck in the middle, cursed by the mean I feel the average, it's where I've been Rain in the morning, more in the eve There's night and day and I'm stuck between Rain clouds over top The rain will drown us all Grey clouds just stop it all Each and every drop When you're up you look 'round You get scared when you look down What goes up must come down The verb's gone but I'm still the noun Stuck in the middle, cursed by the mean I feel the average, it's where I've been Rain in the morning, more in the eve There's night and day and I'm stuck between Rain clouds over top The rain will drown us all Grey clouds just stop it all Each and every drop I need the sunshine! Where is the sunshine? I can't even see what's going on, I can't even tell What is this that's around me? Please, somebody stop me Rain clouds over top The rain will drown us all Grey clouds just stop it all Each and every drop I need the sunshine! Where is the sunshine?

Fumbling, and wasting away Trying to build up the lie, cuz it's what you believe It's all done, they're all gone You stand alone, they've moved along You know honesty's a tragedy It's what you believe: your lying It's all done, they're all gone You stand alone, they've moved along You know honesty's a tragedy -- honestly, a tragedy It's what you believe: your lying -- what you believe is lying You're wasting away, trying to build up the lie Lazy steppin' It's all done, they're all gone You stand alone, they've moved along Lazy steppin'

Same Song 04:11
I'm singing the same song again I'm singing along but it's never real at all I know that I'll try once again But leaving it all seems better than the fall out I know I always start off with singing It seems to help and ease my mind I know it seems to be a bother And yet I do it every time I know that I said I was leaving And that's about an hour I wish I could say that I am trying But it seems I don't have much to show And I know that this is overwhelming So much for you to have inside Instead of trying to make it better I'm gonna try to let it die Out of sight, out of mind Cuz every day that I seem to try it dies I'm singing the same song again I'm singing along but it's never real at all I know that I'll try once again But leaving it all seems better than the fall out Out of sight, out of mind Cuz every day that I seem to try it dies I'm singing the same song again

Don't know how I'll make it They say that I should fake it Let's see if I can shake this any kinda way Putting my mask on -- my only play Don't know how I'll make it -- see if you can try They say that I should fake it -- a well-dressed lie I wish that I could see it through your eyes Then I'd know the right way to feed you lies I put on my mask and dress up to be a wolf in sheep's clothing When I'm putting my mask on, I have to bury what I know I need to cover my true self, I need to be laying low Once I've put my mask on, I can't see through the holes Things are looking so different from all the ways I used to know I put on my mask and dress up to be a wolf in sheep's clothing When I'm putting my mask on, I have to bury what I know I need to cover my true self, I need to be laying low Once I've put my mask on, I can't see through the holes Things are looking so different from all the ways I used to know

Everybody's standing with their phone in their hands Looking at the photos with a constant scan We're all just doing it to pass the time I'm looking at yours so that you look at mine We're all just tryna to fill up some void And help distract from things that you shouldn't avoid You're posting all about just how good your life is Everybody knows that you're so unhappy You're feeling kinda down, so you pick up your phone It kinda helps for you to feel you're not alone But seeing someone post about their best self It kinda fucks you up, then you're filled with doubt Cuz how can I ever compete with this? My life is all a joke and I feel remiss The only way for me to ever feel alive Is to only post the best and try to live that lie, ya Online sunshine I know you said sorry for that But what you've done you can't take back We're all just tryna fill up some void And help distract from things that you shouldn't avoid You're posting all about just how good your life is Everybody knows that you're so unhappy Online sunshine I know you said sorry for that But what you've done you can't take back Cuz when it's up it's there to see How hard you fake being happy
