lyrics

(Happy Tooth)
I've already done this
so many times.
I don't need to make another record.
I could just die.
Maybe then you would remember me,
if you've still got a memory.
Meant to be alive and making music
for like a century.
If you can hear this,
we're still goin strong.
Met a lot of evil people
with egos since we
first wrote a song.
Now the record's a recap,
and we respected the feedback.
Then the views grew,
got reviewed,
told the truth too,
and I need that.
If it seems wack,
remember everything's subjective.
And objectively it can only affect you,
if you let it.
And I get it.
Not one will get out alive.
So that's why I'm sayin bye
to everyone for' I die.
When it happens,
claim I was a genius at rapping.
Then discredit me skeptically.
Tell em I was a bad thing.
Try and name your favorite track.
Tell em how we fade to black.
If you get tired of yourself.
Well maybe take a nap.
When I die,
tell em all I wrote about was death.
So when they start to cry you
can just say you get what you expect.
We've already done this so many times.
This could be the last one
in a set of twenty-five lives.
(Chorus)
No one's dyin here.
If you're sad cry a tear.
They answers might appear.
But no one's dyin here.
If you drink,
buy a beer.
Cause it's been that kinda year.
But no one's dyin here.

(Dug)
At first it felt like
I'd have a longer shelf life.
I'm losing
the grip I'd never held tight.
I'm not the type.
I'm doing what I do.
So what's it do?
And what's the damage?
The whole damn planet's famished.
And I stand here like a sandwich.
Wait a sec.
Dribble the crystal ball,
cause knowing the future
won't make a difference ya'll.
It's mostly running out of gas,
when we're not running into walls.
Same bat time,
I'm wondering why did I even get involved?
Same bat channel.
I'm stuck and abruptly I can't handle
a single bit, of being
a being, a blinking
blip on the radar.
Yeah, a sinking ship, or some shit.
Who fucking cares?
Everyone's burned out,
and no one wants to buy these matches.
You think I would've learned by now
that dying's not all that climactic.
My watch is two days slow.
Society feels like a game show.
I try to be a dang volcano
but my soul stays cold
and it's obvious.
They'll call me a communist
if I share the news.
But they keep you in that box
because they're really really scared of you.
Aces to pair of twos.
Which hand I am's not apparent yet.
Go head and place your bets.
Should I break a leg?
Or break a sweat
or bust a move?
And duck all of the subterfuge.
Like what's up?
I never had a clue.
But anyway,
what's up with you?
It's morphin' time.
Into a person that's sorta sure at times.
I forged a horde of morbid lines.
But I really can't afford to die.
So uh, inspirational quotes.
You're supposed to laugh
when I say it's a joke.
Everyone's making it though.
We're making a statement it goes:

(Chorus)
