Ready For You 03:14
lyrics

You see me crossing my arms You subdue the guard and walk on in You well know what you've done You had your fun and I'm smiling When I hide in my head You reach out your hand to pull me back Why you gotta be so amazing? I've spent my days feeling so sad I don't think that I'm ready for Ready for someone to love me like you love me now My heads all fuzzy and my tongue is tied up My heart says yes I've been playing it safe Doing it my way and you said hello I looked into your eyes and saw the sunrise For the first time Was it always this easy For true love to find me I'll never know But you called to me in the crowd And turned me around I never want to go I don't think that I'm ready for Ready for someone to love me like you love me now My heads all fuzzy and my tongue is tied up My heart says yes Where have you been all my life? Have you been just around the corner Waiting for me to change my mind? There's no mistaking I think that I'm ready for Ready for someone to love me like you love me now My eyes are clear and my mind is open My heart says yes

Let This Fantasy Die A Quick and Painless Death 02:49
lyrics
buy track
You have a boyfriend I should have known that Considering how you’re cool and how you’re cute I assumed that you were single Though it’s not as if we would meet anytime soon You live in Argentina And I live in America Logistically it’s impractical So let this fantasy die a quick and painless death Yeah, I’m lonely but who isn’t? I’m jealous of people who live in a pod with their partners And have a sex life and someone to cuddle I bet it’s real nice to wake up to the sound of “I love you” I sleep alone in my bed And someone gives you head I know it’s not just about the sex So let this fantasy die a quick and painless death Fantasy Make believe Close your eyes Count to three Fantasy Make believe Click your heels Count to three

Cows Have Best Friends 02:15
lyrics
buy track
Cows aren't beasts We have best friends We hang out in the pasture And lick each other's heads Don't take away my best friend And turn her into steak The factory farm The factory farm Is not really a farm They keep us penned instead And far apart from our friends They chain us up Stick us with plugs Drain our milk And feed us drugs We should be mooing And chewing on grass Not locked inside Cows aren't meat We have best buddies We lie in the sun And get real cuddly Don't take away my best friend And turn her into steak Can't you cut down on McDonalds switch to soy milk instead? It makes me sick to my 4 stomachs To be alone imprisoned Then shot in the head Cows aren't beasts We have best friends We hang out in the pasture And lick each other's heads Don't take away my best friend And turn her into steak Don't take away my best friend And turn her into meatloaf Don't take away from my best friend From me

Mr. Insecure 02:06
lyrics
buy track
Mr. Insecure so unsure Of your worth, it is absurd To live this way, chasing likes And seeking fame Mr. Insecure don’t despair You are loved if no one cares About your looks, or your clothes, Those things come and go What about the things that are inside and really light up your heart? Not the shows you binge so you fit in when you get sloshed at the bar Why do you feel the need to laugh when someone tells a joke that isn’t funny? Why do you still feel unfulfilled even though you made all this money? Mr. Insecure, who are you When you’re not the things you do? You bought in to the dream and you fell asleep Mr. Insecure you’re not to blame Culture’s gone and rigged the game Rigged the game Rigged the game Rigged the game

It's Time to Poop 02:55
lyrics
buy track
You have this feeling in your belly And you know that it isn't gas You don't have to pee, you don't have to burp But the feeling won't pass The pressure is building And you don't know what to do Well my dear, have no fear It means it's time to poop Poop, a deuce The number 2 That makes you feel like number 1 Pooping is as easy As it is fun It's time to poop It's time to poop You can do it in a diaper Or a toilet, it depends You can squat over a hole your dug Or just crap your pants I don't mean to be cheeky But you gotta spread those cheeks Just let go and drop that load With an easy peasy squeeze Poop, a deuce The number 2 That makes you feel like number 1 Pooping is as easy As it is fun It's time to poop It's time to poop Will it run or is it firm? Does it flow or does it burn? You never know until you go Poop, a deuce The number 2 That makes you feel like number 1 Pooping is as easy As it is fun It's time to poop It's time to poop

Everybody Needs to Have More Orgasms 02:59
lyrics
buy track
Everybody needs to have more orgasms Imagine how happy we all would be If we showed our genitals some loving Maybe a little rubbing could lead to world peace Did you know orgasm helps blood flow It can even make your skin glow too And lower your chance of getting the flu What can’t an orgasm do? Orgasm can help you feel less anxious Help you age less and have better sleep You can lose weight and burn calories Try it, don’t take it from me! So come on, come on And come! Take a load off and have some fun God, gave you a gift You were born with this So give it a rub like scratch and sniff! Everybody needs to have more orgasms Imagine how happy we all would be If we showed our genitals some loving Maybe a little rubbing could lead to world peace Did you know orgasm lowers pain And helps your brain by releasing oxytocin Which makes you feel happy emotions Seems like a pretty good notion So come on, come on And come! Take a load off and have some fun God, gave you a gift You were born with this So give it a rub like scratch and sniff! Everybody needs to have more orgasms Imagine how happy we all would be If we showed our genitals some loving Maybe a little rubbing could lead to world peace More orgasms, more orgasms! Come on, come and everybody come have more orgasms

You Are Loved 05:56
lyrics
buy track
Spirit found me In the black of midnight When I thought I might not make it Battle scarred and broken She healed me Spirit knew me Better than my own name Saw my scars as sacred Stripped me down And loved me the same Spirit listens We all have our missions To wake up to our goodness To light up to the fullest I'm certain Spirit guide me To be who you intended I trust where you lead me I see the signs and synchronicities You make Should the sky above us tear And the ground below us shift Should tsunamis gobble up the shores And volcanoes throw fits Should disaster knocks upon your door And leave your home a mess You can weather anything You can get through this You are loved For all that you are You are loved From within and without You are loved Mind, heart, and body Because you’re somebody You are loved Spirit hold me When my faith wavers Remind me of my nature Remind I am brave Cause you’re with me Spirit show me Though this world has its troubles We can still by joyous And let our hearts be full And overflowing When your mind believes in lies And your thoughts are all bleak When answers seem as foreign As a language you don’t speak If you curse the one who made you And cannot find peace You are not forsaken Ask, you shall receive You are loved For all that you are You are loved From within and without You are loved Mind, heart, and body Because you’re somebody You are loved

You are amazing that's what everyone is saying I think it's worth repeating on loop You are amazing There's really no debating Cause everybody thinks so too Wonderful, magical, lovable, and smart Are just a couple words to describe you Funny, lovely, brilliant, and radiant Are are equally good to describe you You are amazing that's what everyone is saying I think it's worth repeating on loop You are amazing There's really no debating Cause everybody thinks so too Your being here makes the world a better place I'm so glad that you're alive You're unique like a perfect puzzle piece That fits in to the harmony of life You are amazing that's what everyone is saying I think it's worth repeating on loop You are amazing There's really no debating Cause everybody thinks so too

It's okay to wish Just like a little kid Shoes untied and ropes to skip Gonna take flight or gonna trip Aim right at the stars No dream is too far Rocket right into the dark And light a spark I am lovable I'm already full I am Hold me in your arms Lift me higher I am able Forever grateful I am Fill me with your light So I'll shine brighter It's okay to hope Remember that you're not alone Your heart is knocking at your door To take you home You are all ok Even every piece of shame You are seen and loved the same Don't fade away You are lovable You're already full You are Held in loving arms To lift you higher You are able Forever grateful Your are Filled with golden light Keep shining brighter The world is more than it seems Our lives are beautiful things Our minds are such precious gifts As we imagine so it exists We are lovable We're already full We are Held in loving arms To lift us higher We are able Forever grateful We are Filled with golden light Keep shining brighter We are everything We're joy and laughter We are made of love Keep soaring higher

The Unique Song 02:13
lyrics
buy track
I've been playing with presets and now my head hurts Searching for sounds that no one has heard Seems like I'm on the wrong track To finish this track So I picked up my uke and I strummed a few chords Like an F and an E And a D suspended 4 No one has played these chords in this order before No one has sung these words in this order before I'm so concerned with being innovative But I'm using the same notes as Bach and Beethoven Seems like I'm late to the show They did it before My voice is my own And my take is unique My expression is special Like every heartbeat There's magic in music We just need to use it No one has played these chords before Like me No one has sung these words before Like me

The Zong Song 01:10

If a song sings and nobody hears Does it mean that it was not even a song at all? It’s the existential quandary of being an artist If there isn’t an audience does it count as art? Like a Zong Song It’s a Zong Song

(Don't) Do Drugs 02:09
lyrics
buy track
Red alert! Red alert! There’s someone out there doing drugs! Don’t do drugs Drugs are dumb If you do drugs It means your dumb So stay in school And don’t do drugs Everyone will love you If you don’t do drugs Once this guy offered me drugs And I said, “no way!” So that guy took his drugs And he walked away Don’t do drugs Drugs are bad If you do drugs Everyone will hate you So don’t do drugs Or you’ll end up on the street Living in a box If you do drugs Once my friend offered me the weed And I said that’s illegal So I called the cops and he’s in jail And we’re not friends anymore Don’t do drugs Drugs are Satan If you do drugs Then you’re devil spawn If you do drugs You’re damned for forever And will burn and burn and burn Oh no, everyone, it’s a drug dealer! Let’s practice what we learned “I’m a drug dealer! You want some drugs?” No! Don’t do drugs Drugs are dumb If you do drugs It means your dumb So stay in school And don’t do drugs Everyone will love you If you don’t do drugs

Never Say Goodbye 02:42
lyrics
buy track
I’ll follow you wherever you go Through the pines to the sacred grove As the moonlight guides every step Say goodbye to the ghosts in our breath Too young to remember our faults Too old to change who we are Blue ice in the bubbling stream Breathless forgotten dreams Never saying goodbye again Vines entangle, snares in the trees Wave hello to the browning leaves Oh the years are sweet like rain Drink the Earth and gone again Too smart to know when it’s done Too strong to give up the war Yellow eyes peer in the dark Warm sun reaches out his arms Never saying goodbye again I drank the vial I clutched my throat I gave a smile And took a bow My iron lung My beeping heart When the nurses come I’ll be gone Never saying goodbye again

We Are Heroes 03:32
lyrics
buy track
It has been fun but the time has come To say goodbye and carry on But first look back on all we've done Rejoice! Rejoice! the war is won And now, my friends, we're forever changed We've journeyed far and made our way Over mountain tops, through valleys deep Snatched treasure from the dragon's teeth We are heroes Sing it out Sing it loud We are heroes If that fire within you dims Remember where we've been Pick up the sword, put your pen to page May your heart ignite with roaring flames The dust of ordinary life may settle But you have already proved your mettle The hero inside you lives forever Set her free for another adventure We are heroes Sing it out Sing it loud We are heroes We are here to share our magic We inspire with our courage We departed and brought back The king's missing heart The maiden in distress Springtime to the kingdom Never forget We are heroes Sing it out Sing it loud We are heroes
