There it goes
Now I'm stuck here like an ass and the entire dugout hates me
Partly cloudy. The sky is blue. The clouds are white
So white
All I ever wanted was to be like Honus Wagner
All I ever wanted was to be like Ty Cobb
I was given everything
Why can't I do this
Why can't I get there
Why can't I make it
I try to learn
Take deep breaths and really memorize this scene
Partly cloudy. The grass is green. The clouds are white
Still white
All I ever wanted was to be like Tim Wakefield
All I ever wanted was to be like Min-seo
I was given everything
Why can't I do this
Why can't I get there
Why can't I make it
And am I doing well enough
Tell me I'm worth it
Tell me I'm special
Tell me I'm smart
Please tell me I didn't say that out loud
Let mountains move. Stars align! I didn't say that out loud
Why can't I move
I was given everything
Why can't I do this
Why can't I get there
Why can't I make it
And am I doing well enough
Tell me I'm worth it
Tell me I'm special
Tell me I'm smart
And am I doing well enough
Tell me I'm worth it
Tell me I'm special
Tell me I'm smart

Only Words

With your eyes rolling knots around me I cannot begin
Giving up on all I need for everything you ever wanted
It's not a choice that you can make or a price you can afford
And the song remains the same and you've heard it all before
Before
And maybe it was what it looked like and not what we told our friends
And maybe those bones still get broken even though only words were said
It's not a choice you get to make or a price you can afford
And the song remains the same, but it's time we changed the score
You've heard it all before

Together

She's got it together
She's doing great by anyone's estimation
She's so responsible
But when she cries in bed, she says
"And I still hate it every time I have to eat a vegetable
And I still hate it every time I have to bathe
And I still loathe going to the grocery store
Oh why do I hate doing anything for myself
And, oh god, do I hate myself
And I still hate running on the hamster wheel
And I still hate taking care of me
And I still hate taking care of all of you, and
Oh god, do I hate myself?"
Oh god, do I hate myself

Second Chances

I think we overslept our welcome
I think we just lost track of time
Begging for some second chances
When we only get one try
And I'd like to think that we know better
Than to wear masks making face
Than to hold our hearts so tightly together
That we lose sight of our embrace
Sever ties with your sullen pride
Pull the stems of your discontent
Out of bed! Crawl out from warm regret
Break the waves your heart's been drowned in

Alarm Clocks

I wish I could recall a time
I ever felt more alive
Than a month spent strung out on your couch
Leakin' out the eyes
'Cause I finally took a leap of faith
Too bad it was a dive
The swimming pools were empty
I'm lucky that I survived
But I'll do it all again
For you and you alone
Just tell me where to begin
Just tell me where I went wrong
There are too damn many broken hearts
And too many muted screams
Too many tornadoes through trailer parks
And too many TV screens
And too many children thinkin' we're adults
Just cause we grew up like weeds
And I wish it was all just nightmares
Alarm Clocks killin' dreams
But I'll do it all again
For you and you alone
Just tell me where to begin
Just tell me where I went wrong
'Cause I know I lost myself
Somewhere along the way
And I don't know just where to run
But I know that I can't stay

Snooze

I was given everything
I was given emptiness
Why can't I do this
That's why it's pointless
Why can't I get there
That's why I'm stuck/still here
Why can't I make it
That's why I'm naked
Am I doing well enough
I guess I'm doing well enough
Tell my I'm worth it
To keep my legs moving
Tell me I'm special
Do 'em one after the other
Tell me I'm smart
Til I'm where I wanna be

Immortal Punk

In the start one scientist had finally found the cure
To each disease and virus and bacterium on earth
But one young punk said she'd had enough
And she refused to take the drug
She said, "without the fear of dying, yeah
Well, there just ain't no way to love!"
New reporters chuckled as they told it on TV
Said, "the only living mortal is just as stupid as can be."
And it's a real weird thing
When your private opinion becomes a point of debate
She'd just sit and drink
And laugh at the people that were laughing at her
She said, "I just wanna die! So it feels like something while I'm cheating death!"
She said, "I just wanna die! I don't see where that became any of your damn business!"
In the end one scientist was searching for the cure
From the life that she had spent so many years to earn
But one old punk said she'd had enough
And she'd refused to take the drug
And on her death bed she was smiling
And giving them the finger for what they've done
She said, "I just wanna die! So it feels like something while I'm cheating death!"
She said, "I just wanna die! I don't see where that became any of your damn business!"
"I just wanna die! So it feels like something while I'm cheating death!"
She said, "I just wanna die! I don't see where that became any of your damn business!"

The morning sky is chocolate milk
Algae gray and infinite
I cross the bridge to Canada
With nothing on my mind, but you
You, you, you
You and your stupid face
Hey you didn't say... you didn't say your name
Hey you didn't say... you didn't say your name
I try to catch the ending
Of some movie on the CRT
While '90s-ass upholstery
Was scratching up my thighs, and you
You, you, you
You never even said goodbye
Hey you didn't say... you didn't say your name
I can't remember. I can't remember your name
I don't remember. I don't remember your name
You must not have said! You must not have told me your name
Told me your name
Why can't I move
Why can't I move
I was given everything
Why can't I do this
Why can't I get there
Why can't I make it
And am I doing well enough
Tell me I'm worth it
Tell me I'm special
Tell me I'm smart
I guess I'm doing well enough
To keep my legs moving
Do 'em one after the other
Til I'm where I wanna be
And here it comes
