Nocturnal 04:03
I was meant to be nocturnal I was meant to feed on a sleeping mouse I was never meant to see the holy soil which I am sure to get to know in a couple years Live by the light of computer screens I've got my own man in the moon Now I've got no memory Of all the things that make me who I was I was never meant to see the sun rise In all its AM glory wiping the sleep from its eyes I've never heard a rooster crow signifying a new day A new cycle has begun but circles never end I've been living in the dark for many years now everyone else has gone out to play in the conspicuous hours of the day

Troubleshoot 05:22
Whose belief as strong as mine Cascading fears of time Always slipping through our fingers With luck our voice will linger If we can break through these walls And ignore social calls We can learn to be happy We can live to be happy I wonder why I can't seem to fly In dreams I had so few Always stuck in troubleshoot Soft souls reach out with the youth Sweet hearts sing out with the truth I can almost see them there Almost hear them in the air

Dan plays the guitar with a guitar in his hands Nora likes to sing songs with a guitar in her hands Sounds so good I don’t ever wanna know how Sounds so good I can hardly believe my ears Jake likes to play the drums with a drumstick in his hands He’s got the whole world in his hands Izaak plays the keyboard with a keyboard in his hands He’s got the whole world in his hands Sounds so good I don’t ever wanna know how Sounds so good I could listen it for years Curt plays the saxophone with a sax inside his hands Peter plays the trumpet with a trumpet in his hands I play the tuba with a tuba in my hands I like to sing songs with a guitar in my hands

I never asked to be compelled to make this stuff I feel like there's more to do I can't save anyone from here I'm crazy because you're the best person I've ever met My voice is getting rough From yelling every night I'm too shy to sing to you Even when it's just us

Cool Cats 03:22
I am always in between The levels of fidelity I'm not quite a part of it But I'm well versed in the scene My tiger tie-dye shirt And brown frilly vest Weren't so cool in the 5th grade But now they'd be the best Tried hanging with the cool cats But I'm a bit too warm Mingled with the high class But they don't get my charm Hung out with the strung out But they lied too low The scholars only hollered 'bout what I didn't know I use a shitty keyboard And I bought it second hand The same day that I bought it I saw it in another band I try so hard to be clever But irony's a fad Hoola hoops are cool I guess But I don't want one very bad

Spelling Bee 03:18
When I was young I cried waiting for the dumbo ride I was a claustrophobe Trapped inside a polar bear cave I told my mom My step sisters tried to suffocate me I love them though They both have kids of their own When my mom had a stroke ET scared me My grandpa mowed our lawn ET scared me I would always help him ET scared me They cut down the apple tree My best friend Wanted to be in the military I just like Watching war movies I wanted to be A paleontologist It's not the same Thing as archaeology I pretended to have a farm I won an essay about America They gave me one gold coin I got second in the spelling bee
