I've been working on my chops you see
I fill the air with chop suey
I bring to you the gift of me
I play a song in 1-2-3
I'm faster than the speed of sound
I pick you up then push you down
I asked if you were new in town
I'm the guy you want around
I'm worried and anxious and people think I'm sick
And I can't quite remember all the choices that I picked
I'm famous in lights and you can go and take a hike you see
It all comes together like
Chop (Chop)
Chop (Chop)
Chop (Chop)
Chop (Chop)
Chop (Chop)
Hey!
Chop suey
I think I'll be an astronaut
I bought and EMU and then forgot
I thought I knew cosmology
I then found out that I can't read
I might just have to crash and burn
And be the star I thought I learned
I'll do the things that matter most
Like serve to you you're tea and toast
I'm worried and anxious and people think I'm sick
And I can't quite remember all the choices that I picked
I'm famous in lights and you can go and take a hike you see
It all comes together like
Chop (Chop)
Chop (Chop)
Chop (Chop)
Chop (Chop)

Can't Cut the Mustard
03:46
|
|||
Verse 1:
Pitch perfect is good
Not great
You’ll find
Premature
Celebrations could
Create
High climbs
You’ve ran this race
one-hundred times before
But not
This time
Eventually you will see it’s the mustard that mistook
Your face
For mine
Chorus:
There’s no pressure on thin line
You’ll be fault to disincline
You’ll find
You can’t cut the mustard in time
No pressure on thin line
You’ll be fault to disincline
You’ll find
You can’t cut the mustard in time
Verse 2:
What’s the rush?
When your life is on the line
You’ll concede
To time
Hide the clocks
You’ll find what you complete
Your focus
is fine
Why on the last
Is it the hardest to achieve
the assent
Of minds
Eventually you will see it’s the mustard that mistook
Your face
For mine
Chorus:
There’s no pressure on thin line
You’ll be fault to disincline
You’ll find
You can’t cut the mustard in time
No pressure on thin line
You’ll be fault to disincline
You’ll find
You can’t cut the mustard in time
Chorus:
There’s no pressure on thin line
You’ll be fault to disincline
You’ll find
You can’t cut the mustard in time
No pressure on thin line
You’ll be fault to disincline
You’ll find
You can’t cut the mustard in time
No pressure on thin line
You’ll be fault to disincline
You’ll find
You can’t cut the mustard in time
No pressure on thin line
You’ll be fault to disincline
You’ll find
You can’t cut the mustard in time (5x)

Chorus:
Everybody hear what I say
We’re all wearing the same coat
On different days
If you got one just put it on
Smoke em’ if you got em’ you can’t go wrong

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)

Soon You'll Learn
04:33
|
|||
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

Stargazing
05:58
|
|||
Verse 1:
Travel far and wide but I wish that I could keep you near
But theres too much to see far too much for me to stay right here
So I guess Ive got to go
Verse 2:
Slip the surly bonds and make sure that you’re looking all around
‘Cause when you’re floating up there
It is easy to lose sight of the ground
Or you can stay up here with me
Bridge:
And when you’re here with me there’s nothing set for us to be
Take the chance now to be free
Chorus:
Stargazing (x3)
With you, with you
Stargazing (x3)
With you, with you, with you
Bridge:
And when you’re here with me there’s nothing set for us to be
Take the chance now to be free
Chorus:
Stargazing (x3)
With you, with you
Stargazing (x3)
With you, with you, with you
Post-Chorus:
Beauty that’s surrounding me its made up of light
Wondrous things that we see we see it at night
Amongst the stars is where I want where I want to be
So take my hand and see it all, see it with me

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)

Super Human Mutant
06:29
|
|||
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

Talk About It
05:10
|
|||
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

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 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

The Narcissist
10:14
|
|||
Verse 1:
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Don’t look at me like that
Don’t look at me at all
Unless you’ve got something nice to say
Don’t say it at all
Cause me is I
And you do for me
And I is all
And there is no we
Do I say
First is me
Then woah is me
Then off to sleep
Verse 2:
It’s like telling a bird to swim
Or teaching a fish to fly
But I’ve been wrong and not made right
My soul is not there for my brain to guide
And all I want
is a little sympathy
Just look at you
And then look at me
I switch I pull
Turns the day to night
From laugh to cry
From dark to light
Bridge:
You can watch me rise again
I swear I’ll make a change
And then you’ll watch me rise again
I swear I’ll make a change
And then you’ll watch me rise again
then you’ll watch me rise again (x2)
Chorus:
When the narcissist shows his face
It’s only you he’ll be thinking of
It is you that is in his place
You better run for your life don’t look back
When the narcissist shows his face
It’s only you he’ll be thinking of
It is you that is in his place
You better run for your life don’t look back
Verse 3:
Kelly told a lie when she was seventeen
About a dumb little story just to stir a scene
The kids all got angry and they screamed and steamed
She laughed and said look now who’s the mean machine
Bridge:
You can watch me rise again
I swear I’ll make a change
And then you’ll watch me rise again
I swear I’ll make a change
And then you’ll watch me rise again
then you’ll watch me rise again
then you’ll watch me rise again
Chorus:
When the narcissist shows his face
It’s only you he’ll be thinking of
It is you that is in his place
You better run for your life don’t look back
When the narcissist shows his face
It’s only you he’ll be thinking of
It is you that is in his place
You better run for your life don’t look back, back
Don’t look back, back (2x)
Don’t look back (2x)
Chorus:
When the narcissist shows his face
It’s only you he’ll be thinking of
It is you that is in his place
You better run for your life don’t look back
When the narcissist shows his face
It’s only you he’ll be thinking of
It is you that is in his place
You better run for your life don’t look back, back
Don’t look back, back (2x)
Don’t look back (2x)
