Existential Dysfunction

Tom Rimshot Like an old blanket that is somehow magical enough to make you dizzy, because it allows you to time travel backwards into the past, albeit at the same rate that time normally moves forward. As the world spins slightly around you, you can feel a strange sensation as you slowly forget what has already come to pass, and the now becomes replaced by a permanent feeling of deja vu, not quite able to place how exactly you know you have already been here before.

Met a girl at the Waffle House, she was wearing a Pantera t-shirt She looked so cool I was scared of her, so glad I just got my braces off And now I know Rest of my life Saw her again we were playing Scrabble, sorry to Waffle House wait staff Come to our place you can make your movie, (we have a garden but nothing grows) And now we know Rest of our life Come home with me, come home with me What if we did this forever? Remember when we lost your Cursive t-shirt? And your Bullwinkle pants in the hotel? Our love leaves a trail of lost clothes, and all the other things we left behind And now we know And now we know Come home with me, come home with me Came home with me, came home with me What if we did this forever? It’s been six months, let’s get married

She Asks Me 03:37
She asks me if she’ll be okay She asks me if she’ll be all right She asks me if all the things she couldn’t forget Are gonna be here tonight She thinks that I can make it true She thinks that I can make it right She knows even if I can’t say it I’ll still be here tonight I want to tell her, but I’ll just hold her tight Maybe she’ll trust me for tonight Maybe she’ll trust me for tonight Helen just close your eyes tonight She’ll know she’s safe for tonight I want to tell her, but I’ll just hold her tight

Existential dysfunction, existential dysfunction today Existential dysfunction and I’m going to scream! Yeah, it’s been a while Since I lost my mind But, I don’t want to know it It’s sure to be a shitshow in there Yeah, I’ll be okay There’s no other way But don’t ever slow down, Or you’ll never find your way back home Existential dysfunction, existential dysfunction today Existential dysfunction and I’m going to scream! If I could exercise Or at least wake up on time But I’ll just sleep for hours Things make sense inside my dreams Existential dysfunction, existential dysfunction today Existential dysfunction and I’m going to scream!

How many would it take? How many would it take? For all our children’s sake, how many would it take? To make our planet safe, how many would it take? Supreme Court justices, fossil fuel executives Lawless billionaires, we can show them how we care Wait! I voted for the blue! Bumper stickers too! What more can I do? How many would it take? How many would it take? For all our children’s sake, how many would it take? To make our planet safe, how many would it take? Politicians on a yacht, all the reps who are sold and bought Red or blue don’t give a fuck, they’ll burn the world for another buck Wait! We’ve got to follow rules! They say they’ll follow too! What can one person do? How many would it take? How many would it take? For all our children’s sake, how many would it take? To make our planet safe, how many would it take?

Tell me everything, like I know you will! Only seems real when, you tell someone else You never stop, everything’s new to you You always jump right in When we’re together everything feels brand new Makes me feel like I’m new too Sometimes you get so sad, you want everything to stop Look at everything, You don’t have to do it alone Tell me everything, like I hope you will! It just feels real when, you tell someone else Eleven years isn’t near long enough to see what you can do I got no words for what you’ve done to me I got no words for this love Sometimes you get so sad Nothing’s ever the way it should be I feel that too The same thing in me as in you Tell me everything, like I know you will! Only seems real when you tell someone else Tell me everything, like I hope you will Only feels real when you’re with someone else

Too Much 04:45
Do you ever feel like it’s been too much? Like it never stops, always all too much? Well it is! And it is, and it will always be Nothing ever stops, nothing ever ends Stop and think, that’s not right, tell me something true Some things stop, they end when you’re not ready to Sometimes I lose my mind

This Week 06:27
If I can just make it through this week If I can just make it through this week If I can just make it through this week Then I’ll be fine Well I’m just tired, a little tired, how are you Well I’m just tired, a little tired, how are you, yeah, me too If we can make it to the weekend If we can make it to the weekend If we can make it to the weekend Then we’ll be fine Well I’m just tired, a little tired, how are you Well I’m just tired, a little tired, how are you, yeah, me too Oh

Lost Nitez 04:26
Of course I really miss it When nothing could be wrong When you could really forget for a little while We’re never going back there, Not even just to visit But you could really let go for a little while Of course it always comes back a little worse But you can always have more, and more, and more Those nights that felt like they would never end, would never end, would never end When things are bad I miss it Especially when they’re good When we could cease to exist for a little while Of course it always comes back a little worse But you can always have more, and more, and more Those nights that felt like they would never end, would never end, would never end

Good Times 05:21
I never knew how to wait for my turn I never knew how to wait for tomorrow Go even faster so you’ll end up anywhere Now you’re there Too much of a good thing is not even enough If much is given much will be taken away Got what I wanted and then a little more Give me more This, this is what we waited for You, you and I, we made it through All, all our lives, was our life And life is just a dream This is the beginning, because it has to be Can’t start it over even if we wanted to Look what we did, look what we’re going to do Me and you This, this is what we waited for You, you and I, we made it through These are our good times, good times Will never end Will never end

Grandkids in the garden as summer turns to fall The mint and basil, eating lo-los off the vine A couple days at a time was all that we could do Your laugh that filled the house, any time at all Helen, you never forgot your love Helen, never forgot your love Coming back into town before the house was sold The garden’s overgrown, clear it all away Saving what we could two or three days at a time What was it like before we were all so old? Helen, you never forgot your love Helen, never forgot your love
