Weird Times 05:59
Verse 1: Sometimes your mind plays tricks on you It’s hard to ignore what is felt And in the moment all you can do Is think about the band hand that you’ve just been dealt In a moments time you will find without a reason You’ll count your flushes and all your straights Because weird times bring out the gloom behind the curtain And all that matters is what you take to create Bridge: In weird times Blue skies might darken to the black And the past feels like a memory that’s not coming back But a spark ignites you to break from constrictions in tact Chorus: You shall comeback (4x) Verse 2: Sometimes it’s hard to think for others Or better yet for only you and yourself On rougher days a stranger can be your brother And you can bring a stranger to be in good health For all the desperate measures and despair that’s brought upon us Don’t let it numb all of your happy day’s Cause weird times they come and go like all that’s in life And life comes and goes so don’t go away Bridge: In weird times Blue skies might darken to the black And the past feels like a memory that’s not coming back But a spark ignites you to break from constrictions in tact Chorus: You shall comeback (4x) Chorus: You shall comeback (4x)

Verse 1: Money green so they say we need More of it for ourselves to greed Let the rest go out to trash From the bottom up you will succeed So they said to me Lets pony up the cash Bridge 1: You’re running with the devil at your side As hope dissolves your wings begin to grow Twenty years of living life told lies as I replied With no noble cause or place for me to go Chorus: There’s no winning, no refuting The fix was in from the beginning When the truth is out and the rumors spread Soon you’ll learn No confusing, only choosing Who’s side are you on are you losing In the end of the day we’re thrown to the wolves Soon you’ll learn Verse 2: The truth, will set you free, don’t run from it No others take the fall Innocent, before guilty, never proven, and not worth it Ends in a giant waste of time Bridge 2: Light a match then turn around and watch it burn Your philosophy is smoked out in a haze Money green comes out and just like that the court’s adjourned And the flame goes from flare into a blaze Chorus: There’s no winning, no refuting The fix was in from the beginning When the truth is out and the rumors spread Soon you’ll learn No confusing, only choosing Who’s side are you on are you losing In the end of the day we’re thrown to the wolves Soon you’ll learn Chorus: There’s no winning, no refuting The fix was in from the beginning When the truth is out and the rumors spread Soon you’ll learn No confusing, only choosing Who’s side are you on are you losing In the end of the day we’re thrown to the wolves Soon you’ll learn Chorus: There’s no winning, no refuting The fix was in from the beginning When the truth is out and the rumors spread Soon you’ll learn No confusing, only choosing Who’s side are you on are you losing In the end of the day we’re thrown to the wolves Soon you’ll learn (3x) Post-Chorus: History will judge you permanently History will judge you permanently History will judge you permanently History will judge you permanently

The Maverick 04:27
Verse 1: There was a time When the earth was all connected Then a blast And a new life was formed It thought and learned to live its own way Used the stars for direction And the sun for warmth Verse 2: On your path To discovery and prosper There’s a point In which it’s you alone You can use the footprints to guide you But for better or worse You’ll be on your own Verse 3: Overcome Don’t see the moon as your border There’s much more That’s embraceable too On the skirts of Jupiter and Saturn There’s a neon sign that’s glowing That says we’re ready for you Verse 4: Will you be Like a calf to its mother Or will you be The maverick In pursuit To a brighter life that’s altered Its your choice to endure And it’s your choice to pick Pre-Chorus: Just like the seasons change Your mind will too I can feel the spirit In the air We’re floating higher above We’re lifted off to zen And I know This feeling once again Chorus: Yes I know this feeling once again (4x) Chorus: Yes I know this feeling once again (4x)

Verse 1: This morning when I woke up it took me time to stretch my legs out It wasn’t like before when I could get up and run two miles about Opening the cabinet’s another chore to do and I’m sure you can relate to what I’m going through Connect the mind to the body and no more problems should ensue Verse 2: And If I’m too old to party then where is the broken glass? ‘cause it didn’t come and stop me when my foot was on the gas Another day another story another postcard to annoy me My honey says slow down, I’m going too fast But if you’re ‘tryna find mind me I’ll be living in the past Pre-Chorus: The comfy pillow calls my name to bed The future widow can’t recall a single word I said Some relaxation is needed from the daily stress And It’s not my problem if I stumbled and I made a mess Chorus: ‘cause I’m getting old (He’s getting old) - 2x The super human mutant is getting old ‘cause I’m getting old (He’s getting old) - 2x The super human mutant is getting old Verse 3: An emotion overlapping your muscles wrapping themselves together Makes you think you’re ready to run in the stormy weather Some people think I’m strict but they all are just fools It’s only cause I study how to follow all the rules But really what’s important is to feel like I’m young again Verse 4: So it’s true I might be lying, the past I’m not denying in the long run A simple solution would be to disregard confusion in everyone And if the end is what is coming then we best all get to running ‘cause old bones ain’t makin’ it out that fast The super human mutant will be as old and as sharp as glass Pre-Chorus: The comfy pillow calls my name to bed The future widow can’t recall a single word I said Some relaxation is needed from the daily stress And It’s not my problem if I stumbled and I made a mess Chorus: ‘cause I’m getting old (He’s getting old) - 2x The super human mutant is getting old ‘cause I’m getting old (He’s getting old) - 2x The super human mutant is getting old Hey! Bridge: And you can, send me another postcard It doesn’t mean I’ll open it, it doesn’t mean I’ll read the address And you can, put your finger on my doorbell But still that comfy pillow will be callin’ my name to bed Chorus: ‘cause I’m getting old (He’s getting old) - 2x The super human mutant is getting old ‘cause I’m getting old (He’s getting old) - 2x The super human mutant is getting old Chorus: ‘cause I’m getting old (He’s getting old) - 2x The super human mutant is getting old ‘cause I’m getting old (He’s getting old) - 2x The super human mutant is getting old ‘cause I’m getting old (He’s getting old) - 2x The super human mutant is getting old ‘cause I’m getting old (He’s getting old) - 2x The super human mutant (7x) is getting old

Verse 1: Got a lot to say but you say nothing at all How am I supposed to help if you won’t answer the call Is it something so confounding that you can barely speak Is it what you think you thought when you thought it was all bleak Guess the cats out of the bag it seems your race is run But I guess its not my fault you didnt hear the starting gun If theres a medal for last place Im sure Ive earned a few, with the way you’re acting now Id give them all to you Bridge 1: Guess its now my mission to find out what went wrong By my own admission it wont last very long Chorus: Dont want to talk about it right now Not at all Dont want to talk about it right now Answer the call Dont want to talk about it right now Not at all Better stop running my mouth or I may fall Verse 2: Nothing comes from nothing Im sure you heard that before But when nothings getting done why dont you open up the door No silver linings only clouds in the sky Everybodys waiting for the storm to pass us by Bridge 2: Better run for cover Think its getting worse Funny how the simple things Can end up in the hearse Chorus: Dont want to talk about it right now Not at all Dont want to talk about it right now Answer the call Dont want to talk about it right now Not at all Better stop running my mouth or I may fall Bridge 1: Guess its now my mission to find out what went wrong By my own admission it wont last very long Chorus: Dont want to talk about it right now Not at all Dont want to talk about it right now Answer the call Dont want to talk about it right now Not at all Better stop running my mouth or I may fall

I see you you don’t see me I see you when I see I see a wannabe You see me you don’t see you You see me when I see I see a wannabe I see you you don’t see me I see you when I see I see a wannabe You see me you don’t see you You see me when I Dangling lower, climbing faster Frozen sunlight in my eyes Fast and ready, circle motions Liquid moonlight paints the sky I see you you don’t see me I see you when I see I see a wannabe

Ugly Girl 03:02
Verse 1: You know your such an ugly girl You know the way you cheat and lie You could sell me fake pearls You know the game we play is not hard Use me and abuse me and than you tightly guard Time for telling truth has arrived My truths on the table and I’m barely alive You know your such and ugly girl The way you sell a song And I wind up in a twirl Chorus: Time for truth telling Time for song selling My time is your time If you’ve got mine Alone I dine Why waste your dime Happily sad Wonderfully mad Verse 2: You know your such an ugly girl Conventionally beautiful just an ugly soul Sadly sold your song for a loan You gotta pay it back before your out a home Situation lays you right here My bed in my home Ain’t this the final frontier You know your such a lovely girl The way you cheer and smile Has you owning the world Chorus: Time for truth telling Time for song selling My time is your time If you’ve got mine Alone I dine Why waste your dime Happily sad Wonderfully mad Post Chorus: Such an ugly girl (11x) You know you are a lovely girl
