Have you ever felt like you're a little weird like The place that you belong is a billion miles from here like Something is wrong and you're missing all the signs like A strange sense of longing while looking at the sky? I'll tell you why. I'll tell you why. The truth ain't out there Its right here right now. The little men from outer space don't care about you anyhow. The men in black don't have your back And we will never make contact The truth ain't out there. Have you ever thought man I gotta get away like The Earth was nice to visit but I never planned to stay. If I hold my thumb out long enough I'm sure to get a ride But those lights up in the sky keep on passing me by. Passing me by. The truth ain't out there Its right here right now. The little men from outer space don't care about you anyhow. The men in black don't have your back And we will never make contact The truth ain't out there. You might not be leaving, but its not worth grieving There's still lots to see on the ground. The thing that your missing is not really missing What's not lost can never be found. The urge keeps on pulling you, its so insatiable How is this feeling allowed? But from what I have heard, when you're outside the Earth And you scream it does not make a sound. A sound. A SOUND. Because the truth ain't out there Its right here right now. The little men from outer space don't care about you anyhow. The men in black don't have your back And we will never make contact The truth ain't out there.

Five hundred million years ago rocks landed in the sea. They came here from a far off land we call Octopodes. They carried deep inside of them some chunks of frozen ice Which in turn held some specimens that you might recognize. And when it hit the ocean floor the ice melted away and out crawled a creature that we all know today. Oh Octopi You came here from the sky Oh Octopi You'll rule the Earth when we all die The dinosaurs they came and went The humans said, "Yes please." They spread themselves around the world And built some factories. The way that things are going Our race doesn't have much time, But for our multi-legged friends that plan works out just fine. No matter who's ruling the world, to them its all the same. They hang out down beneath the waves and play the waiting game. Oh Octopi You came here from the sky Oh Octopi You'll rule the Earth when we all die Oh Octopi You came here from the sky Oh Octopi You'll rule the Earth when we all die As the years go on and on the ocean levels rise. Disasters strike us one by one and no one's left alive. They'll start to creep out from the deep and crawl over our bones. They'll tear down all our shopping malls and make themselves at home. The memory of humanity will slowly fade away. And they'll build a new society on top of all our graves. Oh Octopi You came here from the sky Oh Octopi You'll rule the Earth when we all die

Oh Mother Take your time We're all grieving But it's yours to decide When to let go When to move on When to stop hoping That your baby ain't gone Let's just agree on one thing No one's in charge Of this hellish machine I'm sorry you got caught in the blast I swear we didn't mean to do that The life we cling so dearly to Is just a manifestation of you Oh Mother Let me cry Let me feel joyous Just don't tell me I've died I just want to scream I want you to hear me Hear my lungs laughing While I fade into life I can't say the pain won't last But soon this will all be in the past We're all just tied up in the flow And can't control the way that we go Oh Mother You're not alone Oh Mother You're not alone Oh Mother You're not alone Oh Mother we are not the first And we won't be the last I'm sure That every twilight has it's dusk And all the cars will turn to rust And every play has one last bow And every burger had a cow And all my shoes will loose their souls And every sweater gets a hole Every heart will stop it's ache And every chain that binds will break Every lyric that I sing Will ring and ring and ring and ring. Oh Mother Take your time We're all grieving But it's yours to decide

Herse Song 02:22
Don't ever laugh as a Herse goes by For you might be the next to die. They'll dress you up in your fancy clothes And glue both of your eyelids closed. They'll put you in a wooden box And stick you in the ground to rot. Once it starts to feel like home You'll notice that you're not alone. The worms crawl in, the worms crawl out. They'll treat your body like a house. In your mouth and past your teeth They'll find your tongue and start to eat. A millipede with sixty legs chews its way inside your head. The maggots feasting on your eyes burst into a swarm of flies. Once they've finished with your mouth they'll wiggle their way further south. They'll eat your lungs, they'll eat your spleen and every organ in between. The worms crawl out, the worms crawl in. You'll feel them writhe beneath your skin. You'd smell your body decompose, if only you still had a nose. You'd see your stomach putrefy, had they not eaten both your eyes. The worms craw in, the worms crawl out. The worms craw in, the worms crawl out. The worms craw in, the worms crawl out. The worms crawl in, the worms crawl out. They'll treat your body like a house. In your mouth and past your teeth They'll find your tongue and start to eat. Don't you ever laugh as a Herse goes by For you might be the next to die. At least you know that in the end, You'll still have a bunch of friends.

Bugs 02:50
Stay awhile, we can speak in smiles And I swear I'll be here waiting. The bumble bee don't make honey But its not a creature worth hating. Can you see the frantic mess When you look me in the eye. This grin may be a mask But it sure as hell ain't no disguise. I may not be a honey bee but just give me a chance you'll see That other kinds of bugs can be just as sweet. Dragonflies can pollinate, ladybugs are pretty great Crickets like to stay up late and sing at the stars. Aphids drink the dew from leaves, butterflies have pretty wings Mantises will eat the bugs that sting at your feet. Ants will clean up all your crumbs, worms they never hurt no one. Spiders like to eat the bugs that buzz in your face. Buzz in your face. Buzz in your face. I may not be a honey bee But that don't mean that I can't be Some other sort of crawly thing That makes something sweet. I'll stick around a little while Writing songs that make me smile And maybe you'll think these words Taste like honey. Taste like honey. Taste like honey. Stay awhile, we can speak in smiles And I swear I'll be here waiting. The bumble bee don't make honey But its not a creature worth hating. Can you see the frantic mess When you look me in the eye. This grin may be a mask But it sure as hell ain't no disguise. I may not be a honey bee but just give me a chance you'll see That other kinds of bugs can be just as sweet. Earwigs eat up rotten leaves, Stick bugs don't want to be seen Fireflies turn summer nights into Christmas time. Water-striders dance around, pill bugs just chill underground Slugs and snails, slimy trials, look just like snot. Caterpillars feed the birds, cicadas just want to be heard. Fruit flies let you know when all your produce goes bad. Produce goes bad. Produce goes bad. I may not be a honey bee But that don't mean that I can't be Some other sort of crawly thing That makes something sweet. I'll stick around a little while Writing songs that make me smile And maybe you'll think these words Taste like honey. Taste like honey. Taste like honey.

I try to write the same song every single night Explaining the whole universe and everything that's right But none of this makes perfect sense unless you are insane And live off the conspiracies created in your brain Yeah there are no conspiracies, its all just in your brain Everything's so complicated, freaky and unsure But burying your head in the sand is just so immature I know its really hard to get out of bed sometimes But if you don't go and breathe the air, you'll never feel alive Yeah you need a little sunshine if your ever gonna thrive Now its not every single day The beauty in this place takes my breath away But that doesn't mean that I Don't want to stick around for the good times All I know's the world's much nicer when you're not a jerk Walling yourself off behind some solipsistic smirk Everyone's unhappy sometimes, its how we were made If you leave this party early you will wish you would have stayed If you need a little break you can lay with me in the shade If you leave this party early you will wish you would have stayed
