The finest day that I've ever had Was when I learned to cry on command I love myself better than you I know it's wrong so what should I do? I'm on a plain I can't complain I'm on a plain My mother died every night It's safe to say don't quote me on that I love myself better than you I know it's wrong so what should I do? The black sheep got blackmailed again Forgot to put on the zip code I love myself better than you I know it's wrong so what should I do? I'm on a plain I can't complain I'm on a plain Somewhere I have heard this before In a dream my memory has stored As a defense I'm neutered and spayed What the hell am I trying to say It is now time to make it unclear To write off lines that don't make sense I love myself better than you I know it's wrong so what should I do? One more special message to go And then I'm done then I can go home I love myself better than you I know it's wrong so what should I do? I'm on a plain I can't complain I'm on a plain I can't complain I'm on a plain I can't complain I'm on a plain I can't complain I'm on a plain SOMETHING IN THE WAY Cello by Kirk Canning Underneath the bridge, The tarp has sprung a leak And the animals I've trapped Have all become my pets And I'm living off of grass And the drippings from the ceiling But it's okay to eat fish, 'Cause they don't have any feelings Something in the way Something in the way, ya Something in the way Something in the way, ya Something in the way Something in the way, ya Underneath the bridge, The tarp has sprung a leak And the animals I've trapped Have all become my pets And I'm living off of grass And the drippings from the ceiling But it's okay to eat fish, 'Cause they don't have any feelings Something in the way Something in the way, ya Something in the way Something in the way, ya Something in the way Something in the way, ya Something in the way Something in the way, ya ENDLESS, NAMELESS Silent, here I am I am, silent Bright and clear, is what I am Crime, go to jail Death and violence Excitement, right here Died, go to hell Crime, go to jail Help us (?)
