don't mind it when you call me out
i'm just messin around
take another idea
drive it straight under the ground
time to come clean
you know what I mean
you say you want to talk
but now we're just talking circles round and round
you say you want to work it out
but now all we do is mess around
now all we do is mess around
don't like it when we hem and haw
let's stop and slow it down
guess I can't redd up my act
but you knew it all along

Quicksand

every day I go to the corner store
don't even know what I came here for
counting all the squares on the tile floor
then I turn around so I can count some more
this is getting out of hand
feels like I got stuck in quicksand
now I'm sinking
can't stop thinking
of an exit strategy
stuck inside an endless loop
it's a mobius deja vu
time is slipping
and I'm gripping your hand
please save me from this fate
every day I go to the second hand store
looking for the things they don't make no more
every now and then I come a little unhinged
I need someone like you to help me reign it in
time is shrinking
can't stop sinking
help me out again

doomsday glacier
what's all this about?
doomsday glacier
you're bumming me out
melt one more inch and my fate is cinched
I cannot swim it's looking dim for me
yellowstone
please don't lose your cool
this ain't a movie
and I ain't no fool
supervolcano any day will blow
I'll never see a sunrise again
I'm alarmist my friends tell me
well that's easy for them to say
don't worry about the stuff you can't control
just control your anxiety
killer robots
only doing as you're told
killer robots
too smart for your own good
it ain't personal
but I'm in the way of your goal
your logic states incinerate me please
your logic states incinerate me please

my eyes are closed
my ship has sunk
all out of weather
and I'm out of luck
too much to drink
went to my head
out of reception
and my phone is dead
I shoulda shoulda shoulda seen it coming, oh
I never ever ever wanna let you go
I shoulda shoulda shoulda seen it coming, oh
I never ever ever wanna let you go
counting stars
in a field
always running
but I don't get far
memories
placed on the shelf
check the book out
and I ask for help

Early Bird

robin chirping outside my window
on an unseasonably warm winter day
how did it make you feel? Made me feel good
did it make you feel the same way?
just trying to survive, just wanna be alive
and share my love
there's beauty in the struggle
each new day a puzzle and your search goes on
early bird gets worm, so they tell me
but this competition is such a drag
pace yourself and follow your own path
you don't want to burn it out
do more than just survive, there's more to being alive
than 9 to 5
there's beauty in the struggle
each new day a puzzle and your search goes on
do you feel the same?
do you feel the same way?
as dark night turns to day
do you feel the same way?

the only girl on the team
in the box she's a killing machine
here comes the pitch, it's up and in
she hits the apple right out of its skin
when you hit the ball
jackhammer rip it to the wall
escape velocity
soar to the farthest galaxy
you'll take me there
will you join my team
take a chance on me
will you join my team
give this game a chance
we could be world champs someday
we take the losses all in stride
we take our lumps, doesn't damage our pride
have a little grit when we're apart
remember you dug out that place in my heart
