Grown Up

Oh baby creature, you were planted in the garden
You look like, you look like you're all grown up now
Do you feel grown up now?
Mystery dealer, what's the deal, what's in store?
When I look like I'm grown
But nobody's home
Plot twist
Decay is not death
Stasis is life's definitive end
Plot twist
Decay is not death
Stasis is the only way to kill me
Oh baby creature, you were planted in the garden
You look like, you look like you're all grown up now
Do you feel grown up now?
Mystery dealer, what's the deal, what's in store?
When I look like I'm grown
But nobody's home

Feet on the Ground

I got somethin' to say
I sound just like a broken disc
Let's skip past all the parts I missed
Forgotten better days
The future was a promise still
We all had so much time to kill
Pack up my party hats
With memories of record stores
Way back in 1994
Rip up these photographs
'Cause I'm older than I was before
I won't be needin' them no more
You better keep your feet on the ground
Oh, you're never gonna fly, they say
So, don't you aim too high today
Better keep your feet on the ground (you better keep your)
You won't ever reach the sky, my friend
So, don't you ever try again
Once I could dream it all
The semblance of the great unknown
Persists until you're fully grown
Then like a wrecking ball
Reality will break you down
We can't all be the best in town
You've got one life to live
The world looks so much bigger when
Your eyes are smaller, then again
Guess that's the problem with
The never-ending march of days
The growth you do can be a shame
You better keep your feet on the ground
Oh, you're never gonna fly, they say
So, don't you aim too high today
You better keep your feet on the ground
You won't ever reach the sky, my friend
So, don't you ever try again
You better keep your feet on the ground
Better keep your feet on the ground
Better keep your feet on the ground
Better keep your feet on the ground

Waltz of the Snowball

We're a tiny snowball at the top of a hill
Not sure how we got here, but it's nice and chill
Well, here we go
Descend through the snow
Spinning and sliding and diving as we
Start to dance
Start to dance
We all dance
We all dance
We're a great big snowball, rollin' down a hill
Pickin' up new pieces, oh boy, what a thrill!
Dirt, stone, branch, snow
Unite in the show
Each tiny snowflake and microbe unite
In the dance
In the dance
In the dance
In the dance
We're a melting snowball at the base of a hill
The bacteria will live on, but who knows about the snow
If we roll to the freezer everything is alright
Well, speaking as a snowflake
I gotta say, I'm grateful
For the dance (dance, dance, dance)
For the dance (dance, dance, dance)
For the dance (dance, dance, dance)
Dance (dance, dance, dance)
Dance (dance, dance, dance)
Dance (dance, dance, dance)

Ratings War

All this blusterin' and blowin'
I know you're only doin' what you're told
Long as the metrics keep on growin'
You can pretend that it was worth your soul
When the cash has you seduced
You come prepared to make a scene
It all comes down to another boost
To the number on your screen
Peddle all their stale old lies
If you think you got the nerve
But like everybody else who tries
You're gonna get what you deserve (oh)
Tell me, did you think at all
About the who, what, where and when and how?
So, you say you're feelin' ten feet tall
But ain'tcha gettin' just a bit big for your britches now?
The hand you've dealt is finally showin'
Yeah, you think you're such a big man, now
The followers just keep on flowin'
Look at you! You've developed such a crowd!
Fillin' up your laundry list
'Til it reaches to the floor
'Cause every viewer that you enlist
Is a reason to add more
Fabricate every circumstance
You're a real live piece of work
But it sounds like the ratings dance
Is more trouble than it's worth
Tell me, did you think at all
About the who, what, where and when and how?
Oh, I know you feel a hundred feet tall
But ain'tcha gettin' just a bit big for your britches now?
But don't you think you're gettin' bit-brig- for the birb
Ha ha ha ha ha!

Everything is everything
Connect those dots
The smell of blue, taste of a cube
Feel texture in these thoughts
Memories of seasons are a map of reasons
You are beautiful you
Everything is everything
Collect your thoughts
Silly phrase, even if you tried you couldn't stop
Memories of seasons are a map of reasons
You are beautiful
You

When I was young and innocence was king
Bless me with my crown
And as I grow colder, succumbing to the sting
Lay my body down
And these notes and things all over the ground
Guess you made your peace with everyone around
If I gave up at the end, just like you
It would tear your heart in two
If you knew
Now I have my own kept heart
Still searching for the craven part
It's nowhere to be found
Tuck my daughter into bed
With gentle thoughts inside her head
Sleep so safe and sound
And she'll grow so tall, you never would believe
(Never would believe)
Do so many things that you will never see
When she looks back, will she remember who you are?
(Who you are)
The future's much like a star
It's just too far to see

To Grow
02:44
|
|||
|
Carved out by the sands of time
Or fed by the fountain of youth
Expansion of bodies, souls and minds
Might be a universal truth
You can run, you can hide
You can fight it, you could ride it
But change is-a comin' for you
Growing up is complicated
What's the price, did I pay it?
Humble now, unlike before
I used to fly, I used to soar
The joy of rolling down a hill
No broken bones or medical bills
But I feel the love, the pain, the hurt
That shapes and connects you, yourself and I
It's so beautiful
It's so beautiful
Life seems so simple as a kid
Think it's all gonna be figured out when you're big
I can be any old thing that I want
I know the state capital of Vermont, yeah
Growin' up always sounds like it's past tense
Like a finish line, but I never got that sense
Like one day you'll have it all figured out
With your job and your wife and your car and your house?
Even if you get there, maybe you find
The concept of grown was a thing in your mind
All of these goals that you thought were the end
Were just steps on the path to beginning again
After all of these years, there's so much I don't know
There's so many ways that I still need to grow
We're all baby creatures just spinning like tops
And growing is living, so don't ever stop
Oh, baby creature, you were planted in the garden
You look like, you look like you're all grown up now
Do you feel grown up now?
