Oh, inside All will be alright Safe inside No more reason to hide Oh, where no one will see you And no one will need you And no one can hurt you again Oh, inside It's me, myself and I And all of my Figurines and wives No school or employment Only my enjoyment Of cartoons and comics and video games Why ever step outside When it's all alright inside But maybe I'll give it just one try

Didn't think today'd be the day I die Crossed the street and suddenly saw the light The truck couldn't stop in time I didn't look left or right I simply ran into my demise Didn't think I'd ever get a second chance 'Til I opened my eyes and got a glance Of the grassy foreign lands The mythical beasts and plants As far as I could see And soon the elves took me by the hand And told me of their plan To help me help them save the land And now I'm a new man I've died And that's just fine 'Cause now I'm living my best life I've died And that's quite alright 'Cause now I am living a life Of perilous journies And beautiful ladies Hailed as a hero of light This is the best day of my life Also I am somehow freakishly strong

Funtitled 02:08
You were aiming for the championship I was sipping on a nice hot cup of tea Yeah you were killin' at the tournament We were killin' time at the club room eating Our weight in cake Making funny faces Wasting a day away and never looking back Didn't waste a second ever feeling sad Yeah you wanted to be number one And all we wanna do is have fun fun fun fun No patience for pain no time for the drama (no drama) It's just wake up get dressed pump it up Twiddle our thumbs 'till it's time for lunch Don't give a lick about love, no reason or meanings (no meaning no no meaning) 'Cause fun don't care about your feelings Don't get lost in the plot, get a dose of the healing Take it day by day It'll be okay Waste a page for the sake of a punchline It's pretty funny so I can't even be mad So remember if you're having a bad one You can always bet that fun things are fun

17! [Demo] 01:57
Getting older really wears you down It drags your feet along the ground But not for me 'Cause I am 17 For 7 years and counting Brittle bones and wrinkles on your skin Countless weekends sleeping in Are not for me 'Cause I am 17 That's what I will always be Forever 17 Since 2003 But hey who's counting No, not me, that couldn't be I'm just your average teen As youthful as I'll ever be No headaches Muscle pain needed to medicate Dietary restrictions to complicate Going out with friends to get milk tea along with our crepes No messages From parents about potential marriages Kids asking about your experience Growing up before color TV No, sir, that couldn't be me Getting older really gets you down Not that I know anything about that 'Cause as for me I am 17 Endless energy and youthful sensibilities Befitting of a teen nowhere near their 30's Forever and ever

See Ya Later 04:02
Sunset To the west Another day ends for the best But you know You could've told me a little sooner Roll out Your suitcase Everything you need When you go Find out what that means Good luck (Don't go) I know you (It's my fault) Your journey's just beginning That's what I said You always take it to heart Take this letter Open it only when you really need To summon my spirit Hear my voice Recorded on a sheet Words on a page Like stars in the sky I know I shouldn't cry I know you'll be back Your half of the room Will remind me every quiet night

Friends 04:17
Now I know I woke up fearing for my life Not knowing what it was Now I'm finding out exactly Where I want to ride this bus You followed me to here and back You gave me serval heart attacks But you promised not to eat me and To always have my back I was feeling helpless But you helped me on the way I was feeling hopeless But I hoped you'd at least stay Oh, I didn't know just what I am Or where exactly I fit in All I knew was you And with your paw you took my hand and we went On and on and on the road Going where we ought to go Climbing high and falling down Over rivers, underground Learning how to start a fire Learning how to feel fine Knowing how to climb a tree Knowing where it is I want to be Now I know I've never had a tail or wings And I never learned to drive And I don't know how to build a house Or how I would survive Without a hot spring bath and a cup of tea Without big bear claws and a cavalry Without a treehouse lodge and a library Without friends like these watching over me 'Cause I'm just alive but I ain't living I receive so much and I try giving But I'm a sad excuse for an animal And I'd lie if I said I'm not scared at all But I try and try and try to do Whatever I can do for you I'll pick you up when you're feeling down I'll never ever let you drown I'll never turn my back on you You taught me how to search for food I can't jump and I can't be strong But you'll sing a song and I'll sing along, it goes On and on and on the road Going where we want to go Flying high and sliding down Over mountains, all around Learning what it means to be Learning what you mean to me Knowing what I want to do Knowing that I want to be with you

Marry me, oh Aberdeen Bury me in kerosene It's been way too long since I ever had a girlfriend And you've been way too gone to have ever had a boyfriend Notice me, oh Marceline Can't you see I'm suffering It's been 18 months since I had that dream about you It'll be 18 months 'till I ever get to see you Future sucks the lifeblood out of me But all I wanna see is you with me Future sucks the lifeblood out of me But all I wanna see is Aberdeen Are you doing fine? Have you lost your mind? Have you finished school yet? Have you any regrets? (Aberdeen, please Be my baby) (Lovely, lovely, lovely flower buds Blanket, blanket, my beating heart Reflect, refracting, streams of golden light Shower softly on me tonight) (It's like an information waterfall Bask in the glow of a weekday morning And all the messages It's like I'm addicted It's like a digital family of outcasts But I don't know how to feel about that) Marry me, oh Aberdeen Bury me in kerosene And I've been way too gone since I had that dream about you And it'll be way too long 'till I ever get to see you
