Standing Is Hard

Verse 1:
There's a fear in the breeze like a sinking ship
That meant to dock an hour ago but thought about it too late
But it can drown with the best of 'em
You look so tired 'cos you love yourself
But I look like a beatnik, like everybody else
And you? You could really care less.
Standing is hard, I need an apparatus
'Cos I'm eating too much and getting too fat with you
And it's a lovely time
But as I sit to write with ink in my chest
I'm getting older, getting older...
And I can't think of a rhyme
Chorus:
I can't say that I knew you at all, but I want to.
Is it loud enough for you now that I need you?
Verse 2:
Look there's a man with a rose in his mouth
But his hand's not on the thorn but farther south
And he can't seem to get a good grip
You still seem beat, 'cos it's plain to see
That I'm struggling to find good company
And my pants are beginning to rip
Don't you love me now? 'Cos love can be found
When there doesn't seem to be anyone around but me
And that's just your luck!
And now you're struggling to find the proper drink
'Cos your heart is beating too fast to think
And your mind is running amok
Chorus 2x
But I mind the mind of your own
That I'm bound to
Run away, run away from the throne
So I can love you

Verse1:
You look lonely in that dress
With your past on your sleeve
With your future on your Tumblr
Like the freedom to believe
On the stairs, you're hiding away
With your eyes to the ground
Like you'll find love, all the above
When you know it can't be found
It's no wonder you're named after a razor blade
Chorus:
You may tell yourself that you're miserable
But you're not even trying
To think of the unthinkable
And tell yourself you're lying
After all is said and done... I know you know I've tried
Verse 2:
She can love somebody else
She can look away from you
You can cry all over your Tumblr
'Cos it's something to do
On the floor, you're wasting away
Under air, too much for you
'Cos normalcy takes too much care
And accepting something new
It's no wonder you're named after a razor blade
Chorus
Outro:
I commend you for pushing through
I commend you... but you're doing it wrong.

Lake Michigan

Verse 1:
When I died in the heartland
In your middle-of-nowhere town
I knew you'd come running
When I rose from Lake Michigan
With the pride of a Born Again
The pride of a dog
So along Route 80
I was more than elated
To sit in the car for a day
Imagine me imagining you
Crying for revival
'Cos I knew that you'd loved me
Verse 2:
At the end of Route 80
Normalcy is killing me
'Cos I want you to love me
Sitting in my basement
With our feet on the pavement
Where our legs don't work anymore
You don't look like a monk
But I'm still rocking that punk-do
After all that I've been through
I won't shave it off
On the banks of Lake Michigan
With the pride of a dog
I didn't think I would miss it...
Chorus:
Oh God, I need your distraction 2x
I don't regret letting go, but on the damned radio
There's nothing I care about
Oh God...
Verse 3:
On the banks of the Raritan
If I ever saw you again
I would think I was drowning
But the air feeds my brain
Where the water's okay
Where I feel like a king
Chorus

The Jester

Verse 1:
This is getting too morbid too fast
And that cake on the counter, can it get any louder anymore?
If it can't, let it slip into the past
With all of our laughter, I've always wanted to be sadder than you
Chorus:
Now I'm planning reckless abandon
And you're planning to leave me behind
Verse 2:
So the tables have turned again!
And those flowers I sent you could never figure out what you mean
And my jokes are nothing for friends
Can't you see I'm just much a Jester as I am a Queen?
Chorus
And your humor will let your subdue her
Because I love you, leave me behind
