The Sentence

|
I’ve got a sentence
Not the kind my momma likes to say
It’s more like a prison sentence
I’ve been locked away
And when I asked them to describe my crime, oh they wouldn’t say
Woah-oh-oh-oh
Oh, have you ever had a sentence,
But not a frame of time?
You just sit and wonder when, when it’s gonna end
And hope it’s not for life
And when I asked about a fair and speedy trial, they laughed so hard they cried
So hard they cried
Somebody help me, woah-oh-oh-oh
Everybody left me, alone
Alone
Somebody help me, woah-oh-oh-oh
Everybody left me, alone
Alone
Alone
Alone
I’ve got a sentence
Not the kind my momma’s ever said
As I’m sitting here alone, I’m wishing I was home, I miss my bed
And as I rot inside my cell, I’m thinking maybe this is hell, and maybe I’m
Maybe I am already dead

Oh, Charlie
I don’t recall when you first met me
But it certainly wasn’t the best day
And you still hang around
Oh, Charlie
You barged into my life so abruptly
And for now it seems that you’re here to stay
As awful as that sounds
Don’t try to hang around me forever
No, I don’t wanna
Don’t expect us to do things together
No, we’re not gonna
Don’t get the notion that we could ever be friends
Because there is just a way I feel about you, and it is
Oh, Charlie, I don’t wanna sound like the bad guy
But, Charlie, I would be so happy if you just died
I don’t recall extending you an invite in my life
So won’t you give up now and let me win the fight?
Oh, Charlie
I wish that I could say I’m sorry
About the fact that we’ve gotta be enemies
But that’s just the way it is
Oh, Charlie
If I only cared just a little more
We could go back to the way that things were before
How I fucking wish
Don’t try to pal around me forever
No, I don’t wanna
Don’t expect us to do things together
No, we’re not gonna
Don’t get the notion that we could ever be friends
Because, even then, I’d still want you dead, and I would still be singing this song
Oh, Charlie, I don’t wanna sound like the bad guy
But, Charlie, I would be so happy if you just died
I don’t recall extending you an invite in my life
So won’t you give up now and let me win the fight?
You’re hell-bent on sticking out
Think you should try blending in
To everything around you
Would that be such a sin?
For me it would be bliss, but I know you’re not asking
Oh, you never did
Cause you’re just so god damn selfish
What we have here is a parasitic relationship.
So let this be the end
I think we should part ways and never speak again
Don’t try to hang around me forever
I don’t wanna
Don’t expect us to do things together
No, we’re not gonna
Don’t get the notion that we could ever be friends
Even then, oh oh even then
Oh, I’d still want you dead
And I can not pretend I let you win the fight.

The Tale of Emotions
06:39
|
|||
|
A boy named Jealousy appeared so suddenly
On a warm summer’s eve
In a town where there simply was not much to see
With the eyes that he keeps
For those eyes only see what he wants, what he needs
What he sees in everyone else
But, if only those eyes just looked more inside
He’d see he’s got all that himself
Not a day into his trip, Jealousy met Confidence
Maybe “meet”s a strong word
Confidence only tried to say “Hey, I’m on your side”
But that’s not what he heard
And Jealousy flipped him the bird
For Confidence has was Jealousy lacks
The courage in asking for help
And though it appeared that he found himself flawless
He merely respected himself
A few weeks went on by
Confidence saw no sign of the one he had met
The way old J treated him when he was just genuine
He’d never forget
And all the while, all the while
Jealousy hung around Oversensitivity
His poisonous friend
They just spoiled around, side-by-side on the couch
And awaited the end
He’d forgotten about the one that reached out
And selflessly offered him help
He was far too busy singing “oh, woe is me”
To listen to anyone else
Jealousy, stop hanging around Oversensitivity
And Self-Destructive Tendencies
The mind’s a disease if you let it be, and you do
But Reasonability just wants you to see
That his pal, Self-Worth, does not wanna seem so unreachable
And if you cut ties with Comparison
You might walk hand-in-hand with old Happiness
And once all is said, isn’t that the friend
Everyone wants in the end?
In the end
Years had come, years had passed
No one knew, no one asked
Where the old man had been
Jealousy stayed inside almost all of his life
And popped out now and then
And all the while, all the while, all the while
It turned out he had tried diligently to find
Confidence all along
To acknowledge that day, and give overdue thanks
To the one that he wronged
Old Confidence never stopped wondering
What became of that stubborn old stray
And on a regular day, Jealousy passed away
And no one attended the wake
Confidence went on living
And though it’s a given
He struggled, like anyone else
He would also find ways to fight through the day
And he learned how to live with himself

So Far, So Good

Even though my stance is that we got awful chances
I’ll be damned if we don’t take ‘em
I wouldn’t mind my hobby making me a little living
I guess we’ll see how that goes
You say “that guy, he’s trucking and he still tries
There’s just no way to shake him”
Cause, to me, success means nothing more or less
Than never quitting, and loving the shows
I don’t wanna be special or one of a kind
I just don’t think I could handle a monotonous grind
Even if it goes nowhere, I’ll endlessly try
But either way sounds fine by me
Oh, yeah, either way sounds fine by me
Ba ba ba ba bada ba
Girl, you, you know I, I only want to love you
But the, the way I live makes it so hard to
I don’t need to feel special, or one of a kind
I just need to be freed from a monotonous grind
Even if it goes nowhere, I’ll play til I die
But either way sounds fine by me
Oh, yeah either way sounds fine by me
Oh, and you say I should probably quit today
“Go find a 9 to 5, be financially safe”
But, what do you want me to do?
I can’t just go “find a new thing”
I don’t know anything else
“Find a new way to pass the time
Think it through, perhaps you can’t decide
If you do, I won’t even mind the results”
I’d say things are working out okay
So far, so good, I might even dare to say
We could be in the right place at the right time anyway
Oh, I don’t wanna be special or one of a kind
No, I just don’t think I could handle a monotonous grind
Even if it goes nowhere, I’ll endlessly try
But either way sounds fine by me
Oh, yeah, either way sounds fine by me
Oh, and we can not the future, we’ll just wait and see
But any way sounds fine by me

Welcome to the future
Come take a walk with me, you may not like what you see
We’re losing reason to learn
‘Cause technology is making all things thought and effort free
And I know, I understand convenience
But I’m not sure we understand the cost or consequence
Maybe it hasn’t sunk in yet
It’s a rapid decline of the average mind
Remember when crafts had to be perfected?
Oh, that was but once upon a time
Because now the thing is stupidity
It’s taking over fucking everything
They tried to warn us, but we just weren’t listening
Oooooooh
One day we’ll have no use
Humans are becoming obsolete
There’s nothing we can do
And that’s what scares the shit right outta me
No, I won’t shut up about it until you notice
Oh, it’s not a crime to have to try
But chances are you won’t cause stupidity
It’s taking over fucking everything
I’m trying to warn you, but you’re just not hearing me
(oh yeah)

Oh my darling, won’t you come lay down next to me?
We’ll get all comfy and cozy, I’ll sing you to sleep
Why the hell would either of us ever wanna leave?
If you’ve got to, oh, give me a minute or 2
To get used to the fact that I’ll soon be without you
Saying goodbye, you know it ain’t easy to do
But later, you’ll be back, and everything will be fine
We’ll sit back and relax, pop open a bottle of wine
Why can’t we just be this way all the time?
Why, why, baby why?
Oh my darling, after all this time I still can’t believe
The way you captured my heart, the one I wear on my sleeve
And the capture was mutual miraculously
Now it’s later, you’re back, everything is sublime
Who woulda thought serenity could be so easy to find?
I’m so used to heartbreak all the time
That’s why
I spend my days, waiting for the rain
But the rain’s not coming, the rain’s not coming at all
And when I don’t know what to say, you know I won’t say nothing
I won’t say nothing at all
Oh Oh Oh Oh
I spend my days dreading all that rain
But the rain’s not coming, the rain’s not coming at all
And when I don’t know what to say, you know I won’t say nothing
I won’t say nothing
I spend my days, waiting for the rain
But the rain’s not coming, the rain’s not coming at all
And when I don’t know what to say, you know I won’t say nothing
Oh, you know I won’t say nothing
Oh, you know I won’t say nothing at all

I’ve got truly no clue about how to talk to you
Unless I get an obvious and undeniable sign
But if not, I’ll freeze up as I try to think of
Something to say, but I won’t, and I know
It happens all the time
Oh, I’m a nervous wreck
So I don’t got no name
No, I just can’t relate to anything you say
So, maybe I’m too awkward
Maybe I’m too shy
I don’t know why I bother to even try
I’d rather die die die die die
Lada da da da woah woah oh oh oh
Die die die die die

I’ve got a sentence
Not the kind my momma likes to say
It’s more like a prison sentence

And when I asked them to describe my crime, oh they wouldn’t say
Woah-oh-oh-oh
Oh, have you ever had a sentence,
But not a frame of time?

Alone
Somebody help me, woah-oh-oh-oh
Everybody left me, alone

Alone
I’ve got a sentence
Not the kind my momma’s ever said
As I’m sitting here alone, I’m wishing I was home, I miss my bed
And as I rot inside my cell, I’m thinking maybe this is hell, and maybe I’m
Maybe I am already dead

Walk away while you can
I guarantee this is the worst part of my set
Now would be the perfect time to grab a beer
Or smoke a cigarette
Cause if you stay and listen to this song
I’m sure that you will only regret
Wasting those 3 minutes of your busy lives
That you’re now never getting back
I tried to say and explain
That this is the worst song you’ll ever hear
Nobody’s gonna clap when it’s all over
Nobody’s gonna cheer
And I’m sure sure that you are all intensely hoping
The end is fucking near
You’re probably saying “who is this asshole anyway?
He’s all fucked up and he’s weird”
So go outside in the snow and freeze your ass off
Wait in line all god damn day
Go get a dirty handjob outside in the alleyway
Stay in the alleyway all night and then get shanked
Hit a moose with your tiny little car
Break your bong, lose your keys
I’m sure any of these options would be a better experience
Than standing there and listening to me
Bada bada ba
Bada bada ba
And of course I would incorporate some stupid little “bada bada ba”s
Because I’m too lazy to write real lyrics
Bada bada ba
So go fall off your bike when everybody’s watching
Call 911 by mistake when you’re drunk
Go hold a metal pole outside during a lightning storm
Get woken up by falling off of the top bunk
Spend an entire day watching lifetime
Lose your bong, break your knees
I’m sure any of these would be a preferable experience
To standing there and listening to me
Cause I know you’d rather be waiting at the DMV
Or talking to police after taking LSD
I’m sure that I’m much worse than getting stung by a bee
Or listening to A Millie for 16 hours on repeat
I know I make no sense, and I mean no offense
It’s just all one big dumb joke at my own expense
So raise up your drinks and silently think
About how much this song sucks
So go outside in the snow and freeze your ass off
Wait in line all god damn day
Go get a dirty blowjob outside in the alleyway
Stay in the alley your whole life and then get AIDS
I noticed you’re still there listening
What the fuck is wrong with you?
Are you high?
This song’s almost done, and I’m sure you had no fun checking it out
But at least I fucking tried
