I know you bottle up and explode
So when it's comming will you let me know
And I will hold you down
Don't let your volcano erupt
When you know that there will be blood
I will hold you down
If you need somebody by your side
To hold you back so you don't pick a fight
You know that I'll be there
And if you need a way to blow off steam
Let me know before you make a scene
Because I am prepared
To do what must be done
To keep you safe and sound from everyone
But even then I cannot do enough
I could never save you from yourself
Hey man here we are again
Steam is rising and you start to vent
And I feel like I've failed
Because I realize I've enabled you
So when I see an active vapor plume
You know I've got to bail
To do what must be done
To keep you safe and sound from everyone
But even then I cannot do enough
I could never save you from yourself
You don't want to fix it
You'd rather make an exit
And find a fight downstairs
You don't want to fix it
You'd rather make an exit
Because nobody cares
If you need someone to hear it
Go ahead and let me know
But you won't get my interference
Because I can't change a fumarole

Turtles All The Way Down

I heard a lecture on the earth and the tides
And at the end I stood and yelled "This scientist lies!"
We all know how the world works
And we all know it's flat
He smiled and asked me if the world isn't round
What in the world is even holding us down
And what in the world is even holding it up
I said "You're clever but I know what's what"
I told him that the world was
Turtles all the way down
Turtles all the way down
Turtles all the way down
Turtles all the way down
I had a teacher who I didn't respect
Because he taught the class that protons were as small as it gets
I said "I know how the world works
And I know it's fractal"
He smiled and asked me if they're made up of quarks
Then what would we find if we took them apart?
And what would we find if we split _those_ bits?
I said "You're clever but you don't know shit"
I told him that the world was
Turtles all the way down
Turtles all the way down
Turtles all the way down
Turtles all the way down

From Bad To Worse

You always were the optimist
Your glass was halfway full
You always saw the best in us
Sheep where there were wolves
I always was the opposite
My luck was always down
But I understood the heart of man
I saw it comming round
You tell me that it's bound to get better
But I promise that it's gonna get worse
You think these are the last of the bad days
But I know that they are only the first
You tell me that it's bound to get better
But I promise that it's going to get worse
You say you just feel under the weather
While you're lying inside of a hearse
From bad to worse
From bad to worse
From bad to worse
From bad to worse

These are all of my
My grumpy mumbles
My grumpy mumbles
When I put a lid on shit I expect it to go on and not pop itself off
When I lock the zip on an old zip lock bag I expect it will keep it on lock
Well I did it right
But try as I might
Now the inside of my backpack is whack and my textbook is needing a wash
It's not my fault!
(He's gotta wash his backpack)
I want to eat healthy so gimme them veggies and fruit like bananas for treats
But try as I might they are never ripe when I wan't them
I have to leave them out overnight untill they're overripe
Come on Time all that I'm asking you is that you leave my avocados in peace
My fruit's got spots!
(He's gotta cut around them)
These are all of my
My grumpy mumbles
My grumpy mumbles
I click on a link expecting to think, instead it is blasting my ears
I grapple the volume and scramble to stop them but videos always appear
Instead of the text I want to ctrl-f
Zuckerberg, maybe you haven't heard, video articles are so last year
I'm on the bus!
(And everyone can hear him)
I'm lying awake and I am afraid that I won't be sleeping tonight
My pillow is roasting and I turn it over and over but there's no cool side
Tossing and turning while my head is burning
Two hundred degrees, that's why they call me Mr. Fahrenheit
(He won't sleep tonight)
These are all of my
My grumpy mumbles
My grumpy mumbles
