Sitting here
Another mental health day
How many times must I sigh
Is it laziness
Or do I really need some serious help
Maybe it's time to get up and help myself
Get on your feet and seize the day
Time to make a splash in a massive way
Kick off your sheets put on your socks
Plug in that guitar it's time to rock
Strum those chords now and
Shout your voice out then
Go be someone to make us all proud
Find some love and go
Make some new friends you’ll
Make some bank if you bank hard enough
Get on your feet and seize the day
Time to make a splash in a massive way
Kick off your sheets put on your socks
Plug in that guitar it's time to rock

Give you lots of kiss and hugs
Cuddle with you all night long
Love you more than anything
You know you mean the world to me
Take you out for a night of fun
Dancing, sights and merriment
Take you home into my bed
Plant a big smooch on your forehead
When my favorite girl’s ill
I’ll buy her all her favorite food
Chicken nuggets ice cream too
Imma’ be her drive thru mule
I love her and she loves me
It's almost like a fantasy
Every day I wake with you
A blessed dream has just come true

I see your smile
From across the way
You're looking busy
I wanna know your name
I could make you mine
If I was feeling brave
I twiddle my thumbs
Ready to roll the dice
You go and grab your things
Well wouldn't it have been nice
So you walk away
Now I'll never get to know your name

I don't remember
What you remember
No que recuerdo

What you remember
No que recuerdo

In the pizzeria
Some brand new toppings set
Hanging with the dogs and
Boys tonight
You come in and complain
It's cold outside
You steal my hoodie
And bolt with a grin on your face
I don't remember
What you remember
No que recuerdo
Lo que recuerdas
I don't remember
What you remember
No que recuerdo
Lo que recuerdas
I chase you out the shop
Running down the street
You make it to the intersection
And stop on your feet
You turn to me with a number
Jacket in your hand
You say id really love to
Make sure we do this again

My body smells of feces
My armpits smell of dumpster from outside
I’m covered in a viscous mucus
These tomatoes are past their prime
I've got a big dream
To rise to the top
And the smell won't stop my climb
And the smell won't stop my climb
I run down the strip
A dream in my heart
The people wretch and gag
I head to audition
Now's my time to shine
The competition stands no chance
I've got a big dream
To rise to the top
And the smell won't stop my climb
And the smell won't stop my climb
(It won't stop his climb, It won’t stop his climb)
(It won't stop his climb, It won’t stop his climb)

The Slayer's Tale
02:19

A long time ago
Came a greedy dragon
Who stole all our wealth and
Retreated
He burned all our homes
Women and children died
We prayed to the gods
To save us
Then came a man
Who sailed across the seas
He said he'd slay the dragon
To set us all free
Climb up the mountain
Weapon and shield in hand
Brave the dragon's fire and
Save all the land
Battle the monster
Then throw a feast with
One fell strike
Plunge your sword into the beast
So the man set out
To go and get revenge
For all those who perished in
The fire
He found the dragon's cave
Descended into the crypt
He met face to face with
The dragon
He blocked the dragon’s breath
With his mighty shield
He swung his greatsword and
made the dragon yield
Climb up the mountain
Weapon and shield in hand
Brave the dragon's fire and
Save all the land
Battle the monster
Then throw a feast with
One fell strike
Plunge your sword into the beast
He showed the beast no mercy
Chopping it all to bits
He returned to the village with
Good tidings
The people shout and cheer
They yell "the beast is dead"
They prepare a banquet for
Our hero
Fellow adventurer
This epic now you know
May you summon the power within that you've
Heard in the slayer’s tale
Climb up the mountain
Weapon and shield in hand
Brave the dragon's fire and
save all the land
Battle the monster
Then throw a feast with
One fell strike
Plunge your sword into the beast

Beggar For Love
02:20

It ain't normal to try and win at love
But here I am just working for crumbs
I really hope that I made you feel nice
Before you pulled away and put me on ice
Now I was so used to begging you
That I forgot how to move on
But now that you're gone
I say it woulda’ been nice to know
What it felt like to be loved
Now why'd you have to go and be so cold
You turn your cheeks away
I really wish I hadn't fell so hard
For the person you made up to trap my heart
I can't imagine it's too much better now
Feel bad for the one who wears the crown
Even though now I've went and moved on
Ain't nothing ever gonna make it right
But now that you're gone
I say it woulda’ been nice to know
What it felt like to be loved
Now why'd you have to go and be so cold
You turn your cheeks away
I say it woulda’ been nice to know
What it felt like to be loved
Now why'd you have to go and be so cold
You turn your cheeks away

Who woulda’ thought
Why

I'm getting wary of the fight
Every days a different story with you
I wish I felt like I could help
It's supposed to be my job you know
I'm just so sick and tired
I wish I could help
And understand is all
If you'd let me in
To know what's wrong
Maybe then we'd stand a chance
Tears run down your face
And I don't even know why
I ask if you're gonna be okay
You look at me and say “I'm fine”
I'm just so sick and tired
Wish I could help
And understand is all
If you'd let me in
To know what's wrong
Maybe we'd stand a chance

It's time
To grow up
But I'm scared
To leave the nest
Not equipped
With the skills
Just
As of yet
Whip out your credit card and go
Kid get behind the wheel not too slow
Homeless and poor there ain't no way
You should know exactly what to do and say
Wait and wait and
Wait and wait and wait
Til' my hair
Has left
Done with education
What
Have I learned

Waiting
For the needle
Make my pain
Go away

Bring us closer
Together
And I'm waiting everyday
They all pass me by
Counting down the minute hand
As the year goes on
The needle
Drives us apart
The needle
Took you away

Alone
I think about you
And how special you were
To all our friends
Every night
I see your face
And I miss your smile
Everything used to be okay
Your thoughts will follow me into my dreams
The sun shone brighter when you were here
And there's nothing I can do
To get you back by my side
I messed up
When I was mad
Just a lapse of judgment
I let you down
And I'm so so sorry
I hurt you like that
Please forgive me
I know you forgive me
Your thoughts will follow me into my dreams
The sun shone brighter when you were here
And there's nothing I can do
To get you back by my side
When we put you down to rest
I held on
Now it's time to move on

I complain about my wife
I complain about my tractor
I complain about the fields
I complain about the booze I ain't got
I complain about a whole lot of things
And I don't care if it get much better
I never vote on nothing
And I tell you why I’m a centrist
I don't like conflict
Nobody will ever tell me what to do
Now I'm a centrist
I won't vote if its no matter who
I complain about something
Then I complain about something else
I complain about facebook and twitter
I complain about elf on the shelf
Don't care who’s in power
You know it don't make a diff’
I just sit here a drink a cold one
While I wait for all hell
I don't like conflict
Nobody will ever tell me what to do
Now I'm a centrist
And I won't vote if its no matter who
You can call me a pacifist
Call me a wimp
You can call me tyrant
You can call me a snitch
It don’t matter none
While I sit here and watch
Y’all bludgeon each other
While I hold my really nice Apple watch
I don't like conflict
Nobody will ever tell me what to do
Now I'm a centrist
I won't vote if its no matter who

I always
Have trouble
Fitting in
When I'm with you
At least as of now
I feel like I have a place
Every time it
Goes away and
I feel left alone
But for now
Even if I was trapped
I feel safe
Years from now
It'll be done
But for now
It’s love

Sometimes I wonder if you think about what you say
Don’t think its funny when you put me down
Nobody’s brave enough we all just look with dismay
Why you acting such a fool?
I'm so bloated and full of grease
Need a home cooked meal to feast
Indulge and gorge and drink so deep
Clearly for you it's in more ways than one
Now I know what's its like to a bit of a freak
But if they saw you they'd treat me like a saint
It's not funny or cool and no one can relate
Your a mess and my help will make me pay
You gotta grow up baby

Your demise is nigh
I'll crush you like a tin can
I am susamogus
I lie to your face
No one will suspect me
I leave behind not a trace
I am susamogus
I shoot you out the airlock
I will win this battle
All my friends will fall

This can't be happening to me
They'd never do that to me
There must be another explanation
They'd never cause me this much pain
I look for and answer and I find nothing good
And so
How dare you do this to me
I’ll rip your arms off
I’ll gouge your eyes out
You pathetic freak
I let this happen to me
Its entirely my fault
If I’d have been a weaker man
I’d have saved myself the fall
But now it's too late
Already I've lost
There's no fight left to win
And so
What's the point of getting up every day
All the joy I felt was just a lie anyways
Even though the pain is just the same
As the day that I found out
I've learned to ignore it

Hymn Of Sad Boy
02:31

And so I saw a fair maiden
The sweetest I’d seen in many moons
As fate would have it we got to talking
She was as charming as she was a beaut’
And at this moment I realized I’d been such a fool
I’d fallen for her in just one afternoon
Despite this natural chemistry
Surely she could not feel the same
As the twine of fate spun onwards
It would have us talk and talk some more
I swear she was giving me signs
But perhaps my wits trick my mind
I know not how to tell her how she makes me feel
So warm and fuzzy inside
I'm afraid to offend her majesty
Scare away a friend of mine
Now fate’s twine runs along
And we've a history so rich and pure
Flirtations all but hem and haw
It's time to make a move
Now I tell her how I write this song for her
I look down at the floor
I hear no response from her lips
She's bright as a tomato
Well now I've gone and done it
Pushed and ruined it all
I turn to apologize
But she takes me into her arms
She says “oh fellow friend of mine
I've felt the same way for such a long time”
A sigh of relief this must be a big dream
And maybe twas’ after all
The twine of fate sews a story
A future bright for us two
Many adventures, moments and hardships
I hope I can spend them with you

Softest touch
Make you feel
Ecstasy
Hear you wail
Give me a chance
To ruin everyone else
I am the one
You need
Take my pain
Take my fear
Take my power
Be what I need
The hold is tight
The heat burns
It drips down
Take my life
Beyond the stars
Become as one
The nebulas
Swirl within
Synthesis
Of you and I
Silent nova
Black hole swallows all
Any galaxy
I'll be your guide
Even if you know
Not my name
You take me in
Keep me safe
This little place
For you and I
Starships in flight
You feel the twinge
I make you mine
We make the light
Asteroids collide
I hold you close
Out in the cosmos
It's just us
Beyond the stars
Become as one
The nebulas
Swirl within
Synthesis
Of you and I
Silent nova
Black hole swallows all

Evening sun floods the room

Wish it could last a lifetime

Your breath on my face

Deeply
Rest awhile
With me
I will keep you safe
As long as you stay
By my side
Lay your hand on mine
Thank you for sharing this moment with me
Stay safe be well goodbye

The Goblin Song

I am a goblin living in my cave
When you're like me everything is great
Build little traps hunt game all day
A goblin's life for me
Seduce the humans with my goofy little charm
Raid the bakery and steal from the farm
Bring the spoils back to goblin cave
A goblin's life for me
This is the goblin song
Come on and join the fun
Contribute to the goblin hoard
Yell with a goblin shriek
(Yippee!)
Trick the merchants by playing a little dumb
Rig the mayors home with bombs
Poison the water do a tiny dance
A goblin's life for me
(Cheering)

So I see this guy, right?
And he’s with this other guy. Now, we’re down at the ice cream shop okay and they’re- they’re ordering their ice cream.
So one of them orders a chocolate scoop in a cup. The other orders a vanilla scoop in a cup- and they get their ice cream and they go off and sit down. Now, me?- you know I get my rocky road classic.
Now, my rocky road classic is two scoops- two scoops of rocky road in a cone- waffle cone- just the way I like it
So I sit down with my double scoop rocky road, in my cone- my waffle cone- just the way I like it- I sit down and I look at these other two guys, and you know what they’re doing? The one with the chocolate scoop and the one with the vanilla scoop- they’re taking the spoons that have been in their mouths and putting it in the other guy’s ice cream and, you know what I do? I think to myself- I think to myself “that's not the way my parents taught me because you’re- you’re putting germs from each other's mouths into each other's mouths and that’s gonna make you sick, that's no good!” right?
So then I got to thinking, why does that rule exist? You shouldn’t put your mouth in somebody else’s mouth. Then why do people kiss? Sometimes they get sick, sometimes they get a disease but most of the time, people ignore that and they kiss each other anyways. It’s a pretty normal thing. Maybe these guys were dating? Maybe they were just friends. Who’s to say friends or lovers' mouths are gonna be any different germ wise? Maybe they’re the same. And on top of that there's a stigma: “don’t put a stranger’s mouth on your mouth because you don’t know where their mouth has been” but who’s to say that they’re mouth is any cleaner or dirtier than yours? You just don’t know, so why does the rule exist?
So I’m saying rats and bats and cats and drats and mats and frats and all those guys- well I think they should just kiss each other as much as they want because who’s to say a stranger is any dirtier than your friend?
So anyways, I finished my rocky road and- well maybe I just think a little bit too much. PDA’s gross anyways. Stop it.

I bring the sweets to the children
They scream my name with joy
Lollipops and chocolate bars
It's always customer’s choice
Bring my yellow truck
Down the street
Play the music
Deliver the treats
Give out candy
By the handful
Cheap and affordable
For parents too
Drive around the neighborhood
On a Sunday evening
My yellow truck is full of
Many delights
Get in line
But make sure you ask
Your mom and dad
For a tasty snack

No one will hear
The message that I've made
Can't buy your care
Without donations made
Maybe if I got a head start
I'd have seen some eyes
The silence of my voice
The muteness of the strings
The deafened ears of all
The unending sea
Tunnel winds along
Digging endlessly
Starving down below
Repeat carelessly
It's not enough it means to me
If it means nothing to you
Busy with the clowns and politicians
Too busy to see
The silence of my voice
The muteness of the strings
The deafened ears of all
The unending sea
Tunnel winds along
Digging endlessly
Starving down below
Repeat carelessly
The silence of my voice
The muteness of the strings
The deafened ears of all
The unending sea
Tunnel winds along
Digging endlessly
Starving down below
Repeat carelessly

And look at all the fun we've had
So many tunes and tales in the bag
I hope these songs
Inspire your creative mind
Get out there and one day will do it again
Got off our feet and seized the day
Tried to make a splash in a massive way
Put on your sheets slide on your socks
Rest our weary heads cause we just rocked
