Meant To Do 01:56
Gotta be doing what you're meant to do Or you'll end up like smelly goo And all those people who push you around They'll make you dizzy and you'll fall down Gotta be doing what you're meant to do Or you'll end up like smelly goo And all those people who push you around They will steal all of your stability You can't have your cake and eat it too I know it sounds stupid but it's true You can't be doing what you've been doing And expect something new It's no fun to play it safe You end up pent up and locked up And you just wanna get out But sometimes you forget the key That's why you've got to listen my friend My buddy, gotta be Doing what you're meant to do Or you'll end up like smelly goo And all those people who push you around They will steal all of your stability Oh! It is scary To do what you're meant to do Gotta be doing what you're meant to do Or you'll end up like a knife that has been misused And all those people who push you around They will steal all of your mental stability!

I remember the time you kicked out Your radioactive sister She got that way because of pregnancy hormones And she laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed And everybody hated you And you felt bad 'cause you were worried about Your young, impressionable, pregnant sister But then you didn't 'Cause her boyfriend wasn't dealing drugs out of your closet anymore She always had money for cigarettes But never had money to pay the rent But the thing that really irked you the most Was when the cops came said, "Hey all of you Better stop that or you're going all to jail" But they just said, "Hey man, it's just a verbal warning"

Fina 02:27
I drove down to Fina But it wasn't there anymore They replaced it with some other convenience store I was distraught and I know that was a strange reaction But my Dad and I would buy popsicles from there It was my favorite thing to do when I was four Life, it changes Places go out of business I should learn to deal with things like that And then when I got older My Dad, he got remarried, and That was okay But he acted so bizarre Our relationship was nothing like it was before Life, it changes Relationships go out of business I should learn to deal with things like that Maybe it'll all work out 'Cause I'm still even older now And, I don't know everything But I know a little something Life, it changes We can go to previous places And they may not be the same But they might just be okay, yeah Life, it changes Relationships go out of business I should learn to deal with things like that I should learn to deal with things like that

I used to think all the time If I knew where you were I could sing some romance Yeah, and be more mature But then one summer night A glowing message in text Came to me from above Saying you were married and in love How I writhe in this hole With all my stupid things You moved on long ago, but all I could say was Congratulations Should have said what I thought Congratulations Yeah, once and for all It hurts to think all the time Because my heart wants more How can I ever find someone as good as her We write some letters sometimes But I'm lost in the past Trying to fix what won't last As real love slips through my hands How I writhe in this hole With all my stupid things You moved on long ago But all I could say was Congratulations Should have said what I thought Congratulations Yeah, once and for all Tell me something, love Well I hope there's still some If this life is a dream can you make it shift like before All the blurry inbetween Getting surpressed beneath Tall summertime trees Running in sprinkler streams Playying songs on the bleachers Hoping you were the one Far away childhood dreams Playing songs on the bleachers Giving amethyst rings Wish I would have placed it on Your wedding finger

I have a friend Who lives in a box And when I listen real close I hear her talk I keep it close To my heart It's hard to think that we could ever be apart I talk to her almost everyday Sometimes she guesses the things I could never say But when I need a shoulder I have a box But at least I have a box Sometimes it's hard To get away My friend is dear but I can't always live halfway One time she peaked out for a bit It was bliss oh how I miss her pretty face You should know I've tried to forget But there's just some things that are Too hard to quit I have a friend Who lives in a box And when I listen real close I hear her talk I keep it close To my heart It's hard to think that we could ever be apart But when I need a shoulder I have a box But at least I have a box

Weird Egg 02:22
She says that I'm a weird egg But I don't really know They ask you for your papers but you've got nothing to show So then you march down To the military You know the system's broke But they'll make you citizenry If you shoot their guns And be straight... shooting It's a civil right that you're paid to take away In a foreign state That maybe you would like If it wasn't filled with filthy pirates Scurvy, scurvy, scurvy, scurvy Centralized banking, lobbying parties Corporate political sponsorship Big dumb government is all we talk about Where's your birth certificate Oh yeah, I made it up We intellectualize rule of the law When it's a lot, much more Simpler than that Because if I refuse to pay for bullets Tax payer people will come and raid my house Point a gun at me And my black cat And never consider principles of it Well I can transpose And twist around words Like a bigger sister does to her little baby brother When she's being sneaky and he's too young to fight But inside of his mind he knows it isn't right Weird egg But I don't really know It all makes sense to me But maybe we're too high from pharmaceuticals And subsidized food Made from synthesized petrochemicals I just want to be free Turn off the TV Grow a garden and then read a book And leave people alone who live in other countries And be proud of my own government again Instead it's always centralized banking Lobbying parties Corporate political sponsorship Big dumb government is all we talk about But we never consider principles of it

Snail Worm 03:48
My Dad lives in Washington Mom's in San Antonio Both of them are worms They squirm around all day Eating dirt to make their way Until it rains and then they drown Unless they get out of the ground It's no fun to be a worm Got to watch out for the birds Got to get into the dirt Or the sun will dry you up In a way, everybody's a worm Everybody's got germs Living in their intestines too Your boss is a worm Your mom is a worm Your future in-laws are birds But your girlfriend's a worm But it's okay 'Cause I've got you and you've got me Living in this ghetto urban scene And it's alright 'Cause I speak español So the vatos should leave us alone And if they don't And they cut me in half Well then there will be two of me for you 'Cause I'm a worm It's okay

Riding on a hot air balloon You're looking at me and I'm looking back at you Blurry eyes make the skies cold Do you realize I brought it here for you Riding on a hot air balloon Dreaming the dream for two But you couldn't wait for it to fill up I said please, "Hold my hand And you'll see how good it is" Riding on a hot air balloon You're looking at me and I'm looking back at you

Nights 03:19
Can you work nights? Well I don't know, maybe I'll have something to do that day Are you available To waste away your life? Hopefully I am not that way My mother says, "Tienes que trabajar," But I don't know "Debes ir al escuela," But I don't wanna go to school Feeling like a useless tool Who went in debt to learn to be a fool My father says That you can be a rebel you have to work for it But I don't want to work I wanna travel to stupid places And meet silly people Who share my stupid beliefs Yeah and shut those voices in my paychecks up! My sail is broken I'm spinning around It's broken...

Listen 06:04
If you understand I would like to learn If you want to teach me I would Listen, listen, listen, listen, listen If I wear a mask Would you tell me please 'Cause I try to be honest But I lie like a disease Sometimes it feels like I'm going nowhere Chasing all my dreams Running around in circle patterns Getting wrapped up in everything Mountaintops, mountaintops Mountaintops here I come Desert forest, night time dust Moon lighting the way
