Ride stegosaurus boy with a broken back And when I walk all the elders laugh I bit off more than I could chew And when I choked I had dreams of you I threw up more than I could spit All my friends died when the comet hit Went down to the doctor and all he said was "Open your mouth and pass red" The music never lasts long enough The music never lasts for long enough The music never lasts until you lessen its value Ride stegosaurus boy with a bent up spine You need liquid joy just to think you're mine I can't even steal; can't afford to buy A set of clothes for this naked eye Took a bus to heaven and I came right back Counted all my blessings and I just lost track Went down to the doctor and all he said was "Open your mouth and pass red" The music never lasts long enough The music never lasts for long enough The music never lasts until you lessen its value

Like a wave that is not one with the ocean All I crave is an inch from my grasp Like a slave when I reach my chains pull me Though I tried to blame someone else I had put these chains on myself Dressed in blue my self pity is foaming And I can't count the steps that it takes I'm an ant who repeats his mistakes But I am not the kind of ant Who goes looking for answers Someone's gonna feed me when I'm down They'll say they've got the formula And sell me all the answers I'm not even sure Don't stop me now Let the faults of my father Serve as poor cannon fodder for excuses Dip the truth in the water leaves bruises I won't swim with the shallow I won't swim with the shallow I won't swim with the shallow And I can't count the steps that it takes I'm an ant who repeats his mistakes But I am not the kind of ant Who goes looking for answers Someone's gonna feed me when I'm down They'll say they've got the formula And sell me all the answers I'm not even sure Don't stop me now I am not the kind of guy That goes looking for answers I am not the kind of man That goes looking for answers I am not the kind ant That goes looking for anwers Answers Answers Answers

Whenever whenever you come in my range I hope you don't notice how much I have changed Whenever, whenever you look in my eye You dig in my brain and spot all my lies And now that I know that you know who I am And what I can be it makes me ashamed that If ever if ever I were to get lost You'd build me a home and I would still stray But I never see your point until it's digging in me There's rubber in my bones As thick as insects in my belly There seems to be no point in being happy anymore Trivial things don't mean a thing to the few You try to treat them better than the way that they treat you You give up all your hope and live a lowlife all alone And you keep on a smile as long as you remain stoned Trivial things don't mean a motherfucking thing You'll try to make a promise and then seal it with a ring But little did you know that shit was just a ring of lies You'll try to make a profit and use it to disguise I'm sick of everybody being unsensing It's left me self reliant with no one to envy There seems to be no point in being happy anymore La-la-la-lick the blood off my hands La-la-la-lick the blood off my hands La-la-la-lick the blood off my hands La-la-la-lick the blood off my hands La-la-la-lick the blood off my hands La-la-la-lick the blood off my hands La-la-la-lick the blood off my hands La-la-la-lick the blood off my hands

Bedwetter 04:38
I am a hypocrite A nervous klutz A condescending sack of shit Too eager to get out of a rut That he dug for himself Gave up on climbing up 'Cuz he just figured out It was easier falling down In the night I'm pissing on the same damn reason In the night stop easy to admit self treason And the night grow bitter as a bedwetter I almost had the best rest ever The best rest ever The best rest ever The best rest ever I popped open the ibuprofen and drank with pop And still all I hear is my ears pop It goes to fast to change a thing But I'm to slow to care I taste it spinning in the thin air In the night I'm pissing on the same damn reason In the night stop easy to admit self treason And the night grow bitter as a bedwetter I almost had the best rest I almost had the best rest I almost had the best rest I almost had the best rest I almost had Waking up cold I gotta brand new stain Flip over the mattress and I won't complain This bed I unmade I have to lie in it And double the dosage on my vitamins Waking up cold I gotta brand new stain Flip over the mattress and I won't complain This bed I unmade I have to lie in it And double the dosage Double the dosage In the night I'm pissing on the same damn reason In the night stop easy to admit self treason And the night grow bitter as a bedwetter I almost had the best rest I almost had the best rest I almost had the best rest I almost had the best rest I almost had the best rest I almost had the best rest ever
