Comfortable house Strong and healthy business Lawn, backyard Lots of toys for Christmas Drives to the park Sunday prayers Shit-scared of the dark Deadly nightmares And you will get away with murder your whole life Just gotta win the Pulitzer and you’re alright Scared into Years of normal caution My brain is going through A chemical distortion Nowhere to go No strong motivations Down my legs Waves of relaxation And you will get away with murder your whole life Just gotta make it big and it’ll all be fine Pour your pathetic little drama into a book When everybody reads it, you’ll be off the hook

Surely, Dear 04:52
SURELY, DEAR The character you play When you’re not on stage It helps you to pay All of your damn bills The compromise Slowly takes over your life Until you mock your own desires And knock back a few pills Five years old Five days a week Surely, dear Five years old Five days a week Surely, dear The character you play When you’re not afraid To get up on stage And do your thing It helps you to be brave And it helps you stay sane Cause it’s the only way You’re ever gonna breathe Five years old Five days a week Surely, dear Five years old Five days a week Surely, dear Five years old Five days a week Surely, dear Five years old Five days a week Surely, dear

EZ Way 04:46
EZ WAY lyrics What do you need? You need an easy way To feel good About yourself What do you need? You need an easy way Yeah don’t we all Want that Good, good life (good, good life) Good, good life What do you want? You want an easy win Yeah, that you can keep All to yourself A to Z No pain and suffering in between Your life’s as empty As your dreams Of a good, good life (good, good life) Good, good life (good, good life) Good, good life (good, good life) (But you can’t seem to silence all the chatter to find your) GOOD, GOOD LIFE (sax solo) What do you need? You need an easy way Yeah, to feel something Inside yourself All you see Is a quick and dirty easy way You need to get some Before you’re dead That good, good life (good, good life) Good, good life (good, good, life) Good, good life (good, good life) (But you can’t seem to silence all the chatter to find your) Good, good life (good, good life) (You know you need to shatter all the chatter to find your) Good, good life (good, good life) (You can’t seem to silence all the chatter to find your) Good, good life (good, good life) (You know you need to shatter all the chatter to find your) Good, good life (good, good life) (Oh if only you could shatter all the chatter, you’d find your) GOOD, GOOD LIFE

Stupid industry makes me feel old Unsexy and too loud Stupid industry is so cold To music that doesn’t fuck around Ooh, ooh ooh Ooh, ooh ooh Ooh, ooh ooh Ooh, ooh ooh Stupid industry telling everyone They can’t sing or be rockstars You are not the chosen ones So crawl back to your day jobs Stupid industry filled with lies Photo touch-ups and airbrushing Yeah everybody knows it so tell me why Nothing’s ever really changing Ooh, ooh ooh Ooh, ooh ooh Ooh, ooh ooh Ooh, ooh ooh It’s not like there are no alternatives There’s a whole wide underworld, under your fingertips Ooh, ooh ooh Ooh, ooh ooh Ooh, ooh ooh Ooh, ooh ooh Stupid industry gets to choose What most people should be liking Telling women they need bigger boobs So dudes can be in love with their bodies Stupid industry don’t give a fuck For talent, message or musical quality They would even try and sell this song If they knew it could make them money Ooh, ooh ooh Ooh, ooh ooh Ooh, ooh ooh Ooh, ooh ooh (shameless autotune solo) Stupid industry Makes me feel old Unsexy and too loud Stupid industry Is so cold To women who don’t fuck around

Where do I Begin? What’s the use of all this? Think I might be crazy Or is it the world around me? Ooooh Oooooooooh It could take forever And maybe never come Such a lovely Sunday But I hide from the sun All those friendly people Who try and pull me out Ooooh Oooooooooh It’s so far away You don’t even know where Everything’s a mess How do I make sense of it? Where do I begin? What’s the use of all this? Think I might be crazy Or is it the world around me?

Are you ok? Are you doing ok? Is everything ok? My friend are you ok? I hope you’re ok Is everything, everything, is everything ok? I hope you’re ok (I hope you’re ok) Are you feeling ok (Are you ok?) Are you doing ok? Are you o are you o are you o are you o are you ok Well I hope you’re ok Cause if you’re getting through the days ok You’re one of the lucky ones You’re one of the lucky ones I’m breathing I’M feeling I am just being I am not defeated Said I’m learning (learning) Laughing (I’m laughing) And I’m not taking anything for granted I’m one of the lucky ones I’m one of the lucky ones
