Radio 02:59
There's a radio playing at me There's a radio screaming at me But I can't find a brick to throw No I can't find a place to go So won't you tell me Tell me what's real Tell me just what you are feeling now I could be the one for you And you could be the one for me

I woke up feeling rather temperamental My head is spinning round and round so please be gentle My back is aching and my throat is sore My belly feels like it's gonna explode, please no more I've got a cold I've got a cold I taken pills and taken green cough liquid I smell like camphour and menthol and I feel stupid Thirteen boxes of tissues can't stop my runny nose I haven't felt my ears since they froze I went to the doctor but he wasn't much help He said "If you're dying then gimme a yell" I said I already was but he didn't believe me I've got a cold I've got a cold I've got a cold I've got a cold My friends all give me chocolates that I'm too sick to eat The flowers all make me sneeze and that hurts my feet Paperback novels and crosswords and puzzles and letters I'll do anything to make myself better I went to the doctor but he wasn't much help He said "If you're dying then gimme a yell" I said I already was but he didn't believe me I've got a cold I've got a cold

The problem we've been facing Is harder than it seems Should we change it up Or stay in this routine The last thing that I wanted Is coming at me fast So what we gonna do baby What am I to do Change - Stay the same Rearrange - Stick it out Turn around - Upside down Or be Quiet? Change - Stay the same Rearrange - Stick it out Turn around - Upside down Or get moving? The way that we've been living Can't go on this way One way or another Things have got to change Making this decision Is what we've got to do Finding a solution Walking straight through Change - Stay the same..... (We've got to change it up) What are we gonna do baby What are you gonna do baby What am I gonna do baby What are we gonna do? Change - Stay the same....

Powdered Joy 04:25
This shaking on the inside edging me to false desire And it's tempting me to look right in my darkness And this hole I've tried to fill with pure distraction Escapist inaction And i think it's time I faced these things myself Myself Not gonna run from this to mind numbing bliss Gonna face this pain Turn a loss to gain Gonna keep my mind clear to search and find The strength within To resist and win These voice, faces, hand me drops of laughter Powdered joy But they're only masks that crack and waste away Am I the master of these things or will i be their slave With time I know I'll change my circumstance Circumstance Not gonna run from this to mind numbing bliss Gonna face this pain Turn a loss to gain Gonna keep my mind clear to search and find The strength within To resist and win
