So sweet, but outta reach
I can't stand it, like a pomegranate seed
Stuck in my teeth
in my teeth
in my teeth
Why try? Enjoy the ride
Shake my past up then wake my ass up
when I've almost arrived
most arrived
almost arrived
What you got? Not a lot. What you got? Not a lot. What you got? Not a lot. What you got? Not a lot. What you got? Not a lot. What you got? Not a lot.
Insight into lives fabricated, custom curated
Why? They sell you lies
sell you lies
sell you lies
I know life is rough, but you can't change it
Buying all that stuff
It's not enough
not enough
never enough
What you got? Not a lot. What you got? Not a lot. What you got? Not a lot. What you got? Not a lot. What you got? Not a lot. What you got? Not a lot.
What you got? Not a lot. What you got? Not a lot. What you got? Not a lot. What you got? Not a lot. What you got? Not a lot. What you got? Not a lot.
So sweet, but outta reach
I can't stand it, like a pomegranate seed
Stuck in my teeth
in my teeth

Get it out, let me see.
Tell me what you really need.
Whatever it is, I'll be here.
Lemme beam a little sunlight on your dark fears
It's all good (now you try it)
It feels good (that's right, now you)
You wanna try, try something new
But you're scared they'll hold it against you
Just clear your mind, come over here
Eyes closed, whisper it in my ear (ooh)
It's dirty and I like it
Get dirty, don't hide it
It's dirty and I like it
If you're dirty don't fight it
Desire, never hide it.
Show it off,
have some pride in it.
Whatever it is, I really don't care,
if you need a little kink
to get yourself there
It's all good (yeah, now you go)
It feels good (yeah, you got it)
Where I grew up, they called it sin
I felt dead, but then I started living
For all who feel misunderstood, get out
Show em that it's all good (yeah)
It's dirty and I like it
Get dirty, don't hide it
It's dirty and I like it
If you're dirty don't fight it
Good - yeah one more time - good
Go on and try, try something new
Don't be scared, 'cause they all into dirt, too
Just clear your mind, come over here
Eyes closed, whisper it in my ear
It's dirty and I like it
Get dirty, don't hide it
It's dirty and I like it
If you're dirty don't fight it
It's dirty and I like it
Get dirty, don't fight it
It's dirty and I like it, like it
like it, like it, I like it,
don't fight it.

I shouldn't have sold my drum set to buy some beer, buy some beer.
I shouldn't have sold my drum set to buy some beer, buy some beer.
Now I'm all out of beer,
and I'm all out of drums.
I shouldn't have sold my drum set 'cause I was broke, I was broke.
I shouldn't have sold my drum set 'cause I was broke, I was broke.
I wanna play my drums,
and I'm still broke.
I shouldn't have sold my drum set for a hundred bucks, hundred bucks.
I shouldn't have sold my drum set for a hundred bucks, hundred bucks.
Now that hundred bucks is gone,
and so's my drum set.

Turns out isolation is just part of growing old
Well it moves in slow, so before you know
You're just another ghost
Yeah yeah, OK
Yeah yeah, OK
Yeah yeah, OK.
My friend back in high school
He got a full ride to ball
But the last I checked, he had drowned in debt
Man that kid was tall.
Yeah yeah, OK
Yeah yeah, OK
Yeah yeah, OK.
I got good pretending that I'm better off alone
Tomorrow I swear, if I still can't get there
I'll just pick up the phone
Yeah yeah, OK
Yeah yeah, OK
Yeah yeah, OK.
Yeah yeah, OK
Yeah yeah, OK
Yeah yeah, OK.

Can't Stand It

I'm gonna burn this house down
no one can save me now
got myself gagged and bound
drop the match and I'm finished
Can't stand it, I can't stand it, can't stand it, I can't stand
Can't stand it, I can't stand it, can't stand it, I can't stand
I tried me some voodoo
learned it real fast on YouTube
made a doll from the hair
Fallin' out in the shower
Can't stand it, I can't stand it, can't stand it, I can't stand
Can't stand it, I can't stand it, can't stand it, I can't stand
I watched all of Netflix
And just as I expected
No one came by to chill
real life is in reruns
I'm gonna burn this house down
No, you can't save me now
And no one will hear a sound
Drop the match and I'm finished
Can I see you? Can I see you? Can I see you? Can I see?
Can I see you? Can I see you? Can I see you? Can I see?
Can't stand it, I can't stand it, can't stand it, I can't stand
Can't stand it, I can't stand it, can't stand it, I can't stand

Get Off My Mind
03:15

Too dumb to fix it
Too tired to move
Too fuckin' addicted
Guess I'm stuck with you
You're too busy laughing
To see you ain't happy
And I'm the only punch line you know
Guess you're stuck with me
Never wanted to be your joker
I oughta be gone for good, but I
Just can't quit you, I'm your bitch god dammit
I wish you would
Get off my mind
Get off my mind
Get off my mind
Get off my mind, now
Wish you would fix this
cause I'm never going to
It's getting ridiculous
That I'm still stuck with you
You're never the culprit
But you play tenacious D
And I'm your only punching bag
Guess you're stuck with me
Ain't nobody out there who'd
Put up with the shit I do
Your love burns like a gas light, pulls me right back I'll
Never be free til you
Get off my mind
Get off my mind
Get off my mind
Get off my mind
Get off my mind
Get off my mind
Get off my mind
Get off my mind

Leave Me Alone

If you want me, touch me like you want me
If you need me, hold me like you need me
If you love me, you gonna have to hate me
If you can't hate me, you gotta leave me alone
leave me alone
leave me alone
leave me alone
If you want some, you can come and get some
But you got one, so you gon' go and bet one
When you lose it, I can see right through it
I always knew it you were gonna leave me alone
Go on, tell all your friends about it
If you want me, touch me like you want me
If you need me, hold me like you need me
If you love me, you gonna have to hate me
If you can't hate me, you gotta leave me alone
leave me alone
leave me alone
leave me alone
You gotta leave me alone
leave me alone
You gotta leave me alone
You gotta leave me, you gotta leave,
You gotta leave me alone

We All Gotta Die
03:51

Sun it shines, birds they sing
A perfect morning, it would seem
I don't think that I can make it
Coffee's on, a smile too
Gotta look A1 for you
I don't think that I can fake this
We all gotta die, we all gotta die
deep inside, we're terrified
happiness will subside
Nothing lasts forever, we all gotta die
Yesterday I leapt from bed
Ready for the day ahead
Now I'm ready to surrender
Life's a bike, pedal or drop
You fall over when you stop
Clear out for the next contender
We all gotta die, we all gotta die
deep inside, we're terrified
We try and try, to fill the time
Even if we make it big, we all gotta die
The puzzle is blank, it seems
piece by piece - we never see
What we're tryin' to put together
Every day an offering at
the alter of our choosing
God or money, pain or pleasure
We all gotta die, we all gotta die
deep inside, we're terrified
We make up lies just to by
The truth is really simple, we all gotta die
Squeeze my hand when it hurts
Hope it don't get any worse
I can't bear to watch you suffer
We are born as pure as snow
triage nurses, all alone
Tasked to tend to one another
We all gotta die, we all gotta die
deep inside, we're terrified
No one will love us, so we hide
Even if we find someone, we all gotta die
Can't say that I understand, understand why
One thing we have in common is, we all gotta die
