Take a sec to gather up your doubt
then crush it down into a small amount
cuz I'm in a mood to brighten up your day
if I came by then I could pick you up
even if you're gaining weight
if you come by then you can interrupt me
while I'm scratching off my face
all the words that come out of my mouth
are tiny shovels tryna dig you out
of a time that you desperately cant escape
the key to getting out of it is looking up a bit
because its all in the mindset
and that is up to you
so if you're gonna tell yourself you have it figured out
well then you've got to believe it
as if its the truth
ya get so stressed day in day out
there's a big black hole surrounding
forget about that step back and dance
to the feelgood song of the galaxy
one thing I could never figure out
of all that there is to complain about
why do you pick the things that you cant change?

What's Up!
03:51
|

Sneakily peeking at you're phone
all throughout the evening
and I've got my peepers peeping out
for the nasty jazz that you're receiving
is there another man?
is he handsomer than me?
well if he's set his sights on you
how handsome could he be?
I'm filled with envy
id like to be the other man
that devious lil guy
that's gonna get to hold your hand deep in the dark
cuz you gotta hide the spark
yknow its wrong in theory but it feels right in your heart
and in that moment that you come back home to me
ill ask "where have you been?" and you'll reply. "busy"
ill know what's up
you'll flip on the tv
and as the homie Dr.Phi comes on
ill get up to leave
and you wont notice that I'm gone
I'm heading downtown
I'm checking out the clubs and stuff
I'm looking for a girl like you
well, that one's close enough
wont you be jelly?
when I don't make it home til 3
with some fancy perfume permeating off my T
and its not yours
but you've smelled it before
you think that it belongs to the girl next door
now you're seething, your face turns red
I wink one eye and not my head
you know what's up
we are just
so envious
of each other's other lovers
could this be
the part where we
get back under the covers?
SCAT BOY, SCAT

The Crevasse
03:18

Sad and helpless
sitting on the couch
like the potato chips
slippin in my mouth
we just gon sit and watch
courage the cowardly dog
you are bein
a blanket hog
bat an eye
suddenly its midnight
where are we?
how did we get here?
going blind
holding up a nightlight
to the atmosphere
we plan on waking up
but I know how we are
we sleep until its dark
then party all night naked
and that sounds pretty cool
but I wont lie to you
there's other things in life
that we should instead be doing
I would like to sail on a ship
just kidding that sounds like it would be shit
but wait, I might see Moby Dick
probably not

Closer Than I Think

I hope you would
pleas excuse me if my mind is misty
but I saw you there
just before you practiced disappearing so
give me a call
when you think that you're done being sneaky
cuz I'm skeptical
but maybe we'll be...
closer than I think
when you stop in for the evening
then you go with the instinct
your lashes look familiar as your pupils follow me
pretend that its an accident
but deep down I can see
its just careful planning
how do you dress
so that you appear as a mirage?
how do you speak
in the verbal form of camouflage?
you catch my eye
with that secret something every time
and its gotten harder to define
so when you dug
out of
the room
it ceased to exist
at least
I thought it did
til you came back
and sat
at your writing desk
then turned your head
to face my way

The Trick
03:08
|

I've been perplexed with issues of social status
why are we way down here?
there's only one thing splitting us up and that is
that we're not millionaires
I wish I was ritzy
I wish I was going shopping
at all the trendy stores
cuz we could be lazy
we could be paying people
to finish off the chores
I've got the trick, so put on your tuxedo
and grab all the cash you've got
lets take a trip down to the old casino
then hit it on the slots
all that I'm sensing
within your pockets is that
negative attitude
you're so unlucky
is there a way to help you
get in a winning mood?
cuz we could earn riches
like you've never seen before
we could be lazy we could be paying people
to finish off the chores

What Do I Know?
03:26
|
|||
|
You don't have to talk to me
bout this or any other thing
cuz what do I know?
and if you have a question
don't ask for my opinion
cuz what do I know?
start to speak and then you say
"its nothing"
I think that's a shame
but what do I know?
who wants to know?
I don't think you have to be
so offensive when we're arguing
but what do I know?
and the comments that you throw at me
are always dark and dastardly
that's fosho
I don't understand why you're so salty
I think you should smile
reoccurring arguments
that never make a lick of sense
without important evidence
you refuse to disclose

The Saddest Mammals
05:11

Is anybody else getting a sinking feeling
or is that just me?
cuz I've run into some trouble tryna find myself a life
that's as seen on tv
there's people all around me when I'm fired up they tell me
that I should just breathe
its so easy taking air when you only ever care
about the simple things but there's been...
so much going wrong
and I'm the one who has to call
and say "it must have been a mistake"
easier said than done
with all the last ones
falling flatter than a pancake
can anyone asses me on the progress that ive made
cuz its so hard to tell
when I look at current evidence I start to think that
maybe it aint goin well cuz I see...
everything I've ever done
on a dusty shelf
so am I doing what I want
or is that just what I tell myself?
lets forget about survival
hangout with the saddest mammals
I gave in cuz I got sick of
always fighting losing battles
