I'M FORGETTING WHAT MUSIC SOUNDS LIKE

I've never been to a show outside my own
I've never been to a show that didn't suck
I tried to get a ride to an Orville Peck concert once
But I don't have a car or friends so I was **** out of luck
I'm worried I'll forget good music completely
I'm worried good music doesn't exist
I'm scared I'll say "hey remember good music"
And the band will say "what are you talking about Glass? Music's always sounded like this. Are you alright?" You know you remember things wrong sometimes. Maybe you aren't well. Maybe you should take a rest."

I worry about that a lot.
I'm forgetting what music sounds like!
I'm forgetting why people would like it!
I'm forgetting why I joined a band!
I'm forgetting my sense of purpose!

Sometimes our music starts to sound normal
Like something I'd listen to on purpose
I can't tell if it means we're getting better
Or if I'm getting much much worse
I'm scared that I'll start to accept this
The noise that comes out when I sing
There's nothing a person can't get used to
I think that's a horrible thing
[Spoken] to just accept bad things. Forget you could ever ask for better. That's the thing I'm scared of the most. I'm scared of a lot of things.
And speaking of things I'm scared of-
I'm forgetting what music sounds like!
I'm forgetting things that once brought me joy!
I'm forgetting what this instrument I'm holding is!
I'm forgetting my place in the universe!

[Spoken to a beat] Sometimes I can't sleep but sometimes I dream I fly. Not glass anymore but feathers and flesh, I leave this place behind. And music is flying with me, strong and lovely, like before. And I'm free for the first time in forever. I won't be scared anymore. I Sing right for the first time and I'm not scared anymore.

[Pause]

And then I wake up!
And then I wake up!!!
And
I'm forgetting what music sounds like!
I'm forgetting what sounds are at all!
I'm forgetting who I was before this!
I've forgotten what my name used to be!
This place is slowly eating me alive!
This music is gonna eat me alive!
I don't remember what music sounds like
And I used to need it to survive!
I don't remember what music sounds like
I'm not sure that I'm still alive!

Shoutouts To Our Fans In The Hall, We Wrote This For You!

Hey! All of ya’ll listening
To our sounds down in
The depths of the Hall
Thank you so f***ing much!
We can’t talk to you the normal
Way. Nora at the switchboard
Just refuses.
So, we wrote this song for you!

Hey Rhys!
Keep playing our jams
Despite them f***ing sucking
We know they appreciate it
Even if they don’t say it

To the newcomers down there
All the recently lost souls,
We miss you!
We miss you!
We hope our songs fill
Your ears and hearts
With memories
But not too fond of memories
Even if our songs are s***,
We can bring back memories
Of a world that’s fading in your minds

To the Hall Stars and those below,
We appreciate you!
We miss you!
WE’LL GIVE YOU PEANUTS
IN TRIBUTE
ESPECIALLY TO THOSE AT THE BOTTOM
WHICH WE’LL NOW LIST
SO YOU CAN GIVE THEM PEANUTS TOO!

JUAN RANGEL
ALDON ANTHONY
PAUL BARNES
HENDRICKS RANGEL

They’d really appreciate it
If you gave them tribute.

This is our tribute to you
Down in the Hall
Because Sandy ate all our peanuts

Again
And we hope you appreciate this s****y song!

REASONS I COULD BEAT LARS TAYLOR IN A FIGHT CANONICALLY

[Chorus: REASON 1!]
He spends all his time pitching
I have enough time to take a self-defense class or two

[Chorus: REASON 2!]
His name starts with the letter L
Everyone knows L is the weakest letter

[Chorus: REASON 3!]
He wears a cowboy hat
That impairs his movement, suboptimal combat attire

[Chorus: REASON 4!]
He seems like a really nice guy and
I'd be more than willing to take advantage of that s***

[Chorus: REASON 5!]
One time I heard from Miguel that he cried
3 times watching Brave Little Toaster

[Chorus: REASON 6!]
I dunno I kinda lost steam after 3
I guess I could just end the song here if I wanted

[Chorus: REASON 7!]
Okay I guess we're still going
I think those arms are hard to coordinate

[Chorus: REASON 8!]
Seriously I ran out of material
I don't actually wanna fight Lars this is just a bit

[Chorus: REASON 9!]
If I were to fight Lars though
I sure as s*** wouldn't lose you can count on that

[Chorus: REASON 10!]
No seriously guys stop I-

[Chorus: REASON 11!]
Guys I'm

[Chorus: 12!]
Just let me

[Chorus: 13!]
God f***ing

[Chorus: 14!]
Okay songs-

[Chorus: 15!]
Songs over.

[Chorus: 16!]

This Is a Tragedy/TRACK-1847

Of course we have more songs, they’re in our cellar. Here, come down and we’ll play them for you

I put up with that ***hole Fortunado for so long
But then he ****** insulted me
And thats where he went wrong

This dude trusted me a whole lot
So I told him about this wine I had
Wine was his weakness, and a cask I just bought

“Hey bro, I got some amontillado at my place”
“Well, probably. I might have been tricked”
“Come help me be sure, I trust ur taste”

I used reverse psychology on that d***
I told him my friend Todd would help me if he couldn’t
But I already knew Fortunado thinks Todd is a pr***

Fortunado was already tipsy when we got to my basement
But I gave him a nlatty anyway, just in case
And then I led him to his future permanent placement

While we were down there, he started saying weird **** about the masons?
So I pulled out my signed Wyatt Mason memorabilia that I always keep on me
But this dude just started laughing like an ***hole, so I told him to hasten

Fortunado was super drunk when we got to the hole in the wall I dug
That's why it was so easy to handcuff him to a pole in the pit
And I totally covered that pit in bricks and thick rugs

THIS SONG IS LEGALLY A JOKE. YOU’LL NEVER CATCH ME

None Of Us Can Count Past Twenty

Hey guys so we’ve heard a lot of b****-a** criticism about our f***ing songs and ability to write them and a lot of people have complained about our english and literacy skills and we’re here to tell you you’re absolutely a hundred percent f***ing correct BUT

You’re all missing something really important
We suck a** at maths too
Because none of us can count past twenty!
None of us can count at all!
We know enough numbers to let us start a song and that’s F***ING IT LETS GO!

ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
FOUR!

There is no educational system here!
There is no f***ing curriculum!
None of us remember going to school!
None of us got an education!
Where the f*** were we supposed to learn to count!

FIVE!
SIX!
SEVEN!
EIGHT!

Other numbers exist!
But we don’t know what they f***ing are!
We refuse to learn!
F*** YOU

Someone Stole My Car (I Didn't Even Know I Had A Car What The F***)

Someone stole my car
From the parking lot
Oh s*** not again
This happens every week
This happens every week (x3)

*intense kazoo solo*

Wait *kazoo stops*

I DON’T HAVE A CAR
Am I imagining my car getting stolen?
What the f*** is happening?
Am I in a delusion of having a car
That gets subsequently f***ing stolen
Every weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek
What is going on?
Am I imagining this f***ing car again?
Have I lost my mind again?
Where is my imaginary car?

*banjo solo*

My car is gone
Nonexistent in the winds
Rolling across the desert sand
Where the f*** is my imaginary car
Again?

WE GOT COMMISSIONED BY A MYSTERIOUS AND HANDSOME BENEFACTOR TO WRITE THIS SONG ABOUT VAMPIRES

My neck, my neck is so juicy and tender
My blood is sweet like the finest champagne
It sure would be a shame if some dashing vampire
Cornered me after the show and took a little taste
A handsome stranger asked us to write a song
He only would meet with us when it was night
And, unrelated if a vampire wanted to meet me
Backstage after this, that would be alright But

[Chorus]
This song is not directed at anyone specific
We were commissioned to write this
This song is not directed to the handsome pale gentleman in the front row
We were commissioned to write this
If you think this is a come on you are mistaken
We were commissioned to write this
All of this is metaphors you aren't getting
We were commissioned to Write This

Anyway I think Vampires are pretty neat
I like their cool style and their sharp little teeth
I wouldn’t mind if one turned me to it’s dark ways
And took me under the city to it’s lair beneath
I imagine they’d have piercing red eyes
I imagine they’d dress up too the nines
But I’m just making that up off the top of my head
I’m not thinking of anyone specific when I’m describing this vampire

[Chorus]
This song is not about anyone we’ve ever met
We were commissioned to write this
Any resemblance to persons living or undead is purely coincidental
We were commissioned to write this
I keep the key to my apartment underneath the rug
We were commissioned to write this
I’ve put a lot of thought into it and I think if push comes to shove I could deal with only drinking blood forever
We were commissioned to Write This

This song is direct permission to enter my home
This song is an invitation to enter my home
This song is direct permission to enter my home
This song is an invitations to enter my home
We were commissioned to Write this

“I could probably make that jump”

See that gap between
Those two planters
Next to the JEFF! Statue?

Yeah, I could probably make that jump
I’m not gonna
Because I know it’ll go poorly
But if you can convince me
I’ll try.

Alright sure, I’ll do it.
Let me get up there…
I could probably make that jump

*INTENSE ACCORDIAN*

Ouch!
I fell
I could not make the jump
Maybe I’ll learn next time
To not ask people if they want

To see me try that jump.
To see me try that jump…
IT’S A BAD IDEA
JUST BECAUSE YOU CAN
DOESN’T MEAN YOU SHOULD!

I could probably make that jump.

Not a chance though…
What I should have said
Before ending up like this…

Ow…

When I was here before, I could look you in the eye

Because I wasn’t stuck in a fishbowl, which sort of makes me cry

You’re so high above me, and you’ve got two legs

You’ve got ****ing legs, I wish I had legs

But I’m a fish, I’m aquatic

What the hell am I in a bowl for? I don’t belong here

Don’t care if it hurts, I just wanna have some arms

I want a human body, I WANT ****ING ARMS

I want you to notice, when I am around

Because you don’t right now, because I’m a ****ing fish

And I’m a fish, I’m aquatic

Why the hell am I in a bowl? I don’t belong here

She’s running out the door

She’s running and I, I ****ING CAAAAAN’T

I’M A FIIIIIIIISH

None of you know what it’s like, you’ve got no clue

I used to be like you, I want to be like you

But I’m a fish, I’m aquatic

What the hell am I doing here? I don’t belong here

I’m trapped in a fishbowl :(

SEXTON FANTASTIC WROTE THIS SONG AFTER WE PRODDED IT FOR LIKE THREE HOURS STRAIGHT

THIS SONG IS DEDICATED TO THE MOST FANTASTIC PERSON VAGUELY ADJACENT TO BLASEBALL! THATS RIGHT, SEXTON FANTASTIC!
Sexton, right over there! Can you see it? Its right there! I’m pointing right at it! Its playing the bassoon right now! Its a bird!

Sexton can play good music
Thats a skill unique to it
The rest of us have to be garbage
We’re forced to sound like ****

But Sexton can make good music
It even took lessons as a chick
But there was always way too much pressure
To always be a perfect pick

I think theres something poetic
About choosing to be bad
Theres a kind of meta meaning to art
When all the *****iness is on purpose

We didn’t even rhyme that last verse!
We totally could have!
“Bad” is such an easy word to rhyme!
Sad fad chad rad cad tad mad

Sexton could totally play a sick bassoon solo right now
Did you know Sexton can beatbox?
But when Sexton is playing with us
Sexton is bad on purpose!

MOON LANDING

if two guys were on the moon
and they kissed
idk what do you think that would be like
well i guess their helmets would just bonk together
but like everything else its the thought that counts

now if two guys were on the moon
and one of them killed the other
f*** man what do you do then
like obviously you killed him
it was just you two
whyd you do it
you were kissing before

youll never get the chance again
now youre on the moon
with a dead body
theres nowhere to hide it
good luck pal
youre gonna f***in need it

the moon’s where ghosts hang out
and you just made a ghost
you did not think this through

WE DON'T WANT A ****ING DRUMMER

People love to come to our
****ty shows and
We get a lot of criticism
Maybe deserved or undeserved
Who knows

But there is one critique that gets
Underneath
Our skin

WE DON’T WANT A
****ING DRUMMER
WE DON’T GIVE A ****
ABOUT RHYTHM
OUR LAST DRUMMER SUCKED
HE WENT OFF AND DATED
A FAKE ASS CAT ??
BULL****

I know they broke up
BUT WE DON’T CARE
I know he’s succeeding
BUT SCREW HIM HE HAS NO HAIR
He wasn’t even good
COULDN’T KEEP TIME
At least he never showed up to practice
Cause he never came to practice
Or anything

WE DON’T WANT A
****ING DRUMMER
WE DON’T GIVE A ****
ABOUT RHYTHM
OUR LAST DRUMMER SUCKED
HE WENT OFF AND DATED
A FAKE ASS CAT ??
BULL****

I heard that the catboy had an allergic reaction
Like three ****ing times
On TV
THAT’S ****ED UP
Like what was their deal
His ex came back from the dead
And they got back together
WE DON’T ACTUALLY KNOW IF HE’S OKAY
But he’s an economics TA
So he’s probably okay
We should have probably checked in on with our friend
Might be on us
****

Gloom: So, uh- This song goes out to a kid who was around for uh, all of 10 minutes, and for five of those minutes chose to listen to our music. Apparently on purpose. Thanks kid, I uh- I hope you found better music, wherever you are now.

I hope they have trumpets, and they know how to play them

and it's not being played by a bird

I hope they have guitars, and maybe some singers

and the sounds they make aren't absurd

and I hope they have some good music

wherever wya77 is

and I hope they'll let him listen to some better music

wherever wya77 is

we never really met you and for that we're sorry

we would have autographed a CD

but I hope where you are you're getting signatures

from people who sing much better than me

if you happen to be somewhere out there

wherever wya77 is

will you please take the time to make some good music

for wherever wya77 is

I don’t know if there’s such a thing as heaven

But maybe they’ll teach me the guitar

So for once in my life I could make some good music

For where Wya77 is

Glass: Are?

Gloom: For where Wya77 are

All: And I hope that one day we can make some good music

For wherever Wya77 are

If you’re out there Wya77, we hope that you’re finding

Good music where-ever you Are

Spilled my drink the other day

The other day
I got my drink from the
Seven Helleven
Down the street
And I thought
“**** YEA”
“This drink rules”
Until I spilled it
On my shoes

And now I’m laying
On the sidewalk
****ing crying
Because life sucks!
My drink was supposed to be
****ing awesome
But this is a goddamn nightmare
**** this shit
Here’s a guitar solo

*3.5 minutes of banjo solo, none of it good*

It was kiwi strawberry
Now it’s no more
**** this
Gotta go back to the store
Hate this
Life is bullshit

JEFF!

Stop coming to our shows
Youre a creepy guy dude
Literally what are you doing here
I saw you eat a handful of teeth the other day
Crawl out of your own skin
Those sunglasses make you look like a d*uchebag
Also stop coming over to my aunts house
Its f***in weird dude shes only been diblorched like a year
Also stop selling knives to my brother
Im the only one allowed to give him knives
Stop coming to our shows
You creepy f***

Fish (spoken): so uh, at a show a few months back- you probably won't believe this but f*** you- at a show a few months back, we invited Nagomi Nava on stage to do some songs with us. She says she's a fan, guess she's got a weird sense of humor- but she came up with this one, uh- on the spot. Takes Glass weeks to come up with this bull****, but hey- (chuckle) and we can't do it as good as her, but that's never stopped us before. So-

(1, 2, 3-)

I can't sleep unless I know where my cat is

Unless I feel her furry little body next to mine

I can't sleep I can't sleep I can't sleep

I have visions where I see my friends die

I can never do anything to stop it

They're always right always right always right

Sometimes I'm scared to close my eyes

But when I feel my cat purring next to me

I'm alright I'm alright I'm alright

I can't sleep unless I know where my cat is

When I feel her furry body next to mine

Then I can sleep I can sleep I can sleep

I finally sleep I can sleep I can sleep

This Is a Tragedy/TRACK-963

TURNS OUT IT'S KINDA HARD NOT TO SWEAR

one day someone said we curse too much
and so we took the dare
that we would write another song
a song that had no swears
so this next one will be pg
rated e for everyone
but it’s gonna sound, uh, weird-y
cause not swearing isn’t fun

just like every song we make
this is one that really sucks
gotta keep it family friendly
gotta try to not say.. certain words
so we throw in quick replacements
even if they do not fit
but who cares about the lyrics
cause they’re almost always..... bad

you can show your parents
you can show your class
why'd we have to do this
this song sounds like, uhhh.. garbage

it’s hard to make songs
when all you do is say swears usually
like what are we supposed to do

and it’s really really dumb
really freaking dumb
just imagine that i'm saying the other word there
or i guess don’t
don’t imagine anything
this song is family friendly
i swear it’s family friendly
or wait no I don’t
i don’t swear
there are no swears
****, this is haaaOH NO **** WAIT NO **** I MEAN-
*frustrated, somewhat distressed swearing*
AAARGGGH
dang it
