We all try to float on the best we can But the water is so fearful, how long can we last? My life is the water, the boat is my head The fishes are dreams that never began Getting seasick inside my car And dramamine won't do a thing I'm getting a little overwhelmed The waves are crashing down And I'm getting farther away from shore It's becoming so hard to prioritize When people assume the importance of their lives And here I've got one paddle and a hole in the sail People, can't you see that I'm destined to fail? Getting seasick inside my car And dramamine won't do a thing I'm getting a little overwhelmed The waves are crashing down And I'm getting farther away from shore Oh well we all get a little seasick sometimes But we all soldier on alright

Laying with you on the blades of grass And the setting sun is parting ways too fast Not looking toward the future, mind and heart are here No sense thinking about tomorrow when the end is so near This world's going down in this mushroom cloud Take my hand, don't let go Look into my eyes, behind this burning sky Don't be afraid, it's the end of the world Acid rain can't dissolve our hearts And the sinister sky will never tear us apart Don't think about the past, our lives are done But my love for you will go on and on and on... This world's going down in this mushroom cloud Take my hand, don't let go Look into my eyes, behind this burning sky Don't be afraid, it's the end of the world Try my best to find you in this sorry hell Try my best to show you that I'm still alive, I didn't die I know our love can make it through most anything ...

Try and put your life into perspective When you miss your respective Girlfriend, boyfriend -- it never ends Loneliness when you're not alone And you say that you can't get a job They gave it to some lazy slob But everyone's getting laid off Fuck off if you think I'm wrong Well you could have been A single-celled organism On some far off planet But you're not You want to go to some far off place Because around here you can't show your face To the losers, the boozers, the stoners and whores They're not worth your trouble anymore You tried so hard to fall in love And you try so hard to keep your love The fighting, the lying, the crying, the dying All worth it after all Well you could have been A single-celled organism On some far off planet But you're not You try and master the art of living But you're multi-celled, and it's hard

Mangy Cats 03:13
I've got a bunch of mangy cats Living in my garage They shit on everything and I hate them more than anything Please just let them die, oh God Nothing seems to go my way I realize I've spent all day Walking around with shit On my shoes And I would never hurt a fly, but please someone just tell me why I have to wait for cats to die before I can be happy again? Shut the fuck up You don't know what you're talking about I know better So please shut your mouth When you talk just to contradict You come across as kind of a dick I understand the need to speak And make your thoughts seem legitimate That's why the crowds clap and why they scoff That's why, when it's quiet, they all cough Because they can't stand to go without Making any kind of fucking sound And the girls from my high school Getting pregnant like it was cool They all get passed around More than a joint on the playground I'm not too smart, I don't know much I'm just a guy who thinks too much But I can keep it to myself No one cares about anyone else
