Gingerbread 03:23
I've been siting here for a couple hours And I don't know exactly why I bother to stay awake Pretty soon I'll be a basketcase - basketcase I've got no energy left to think About anything deeper than my facebook feed I know I'm being stupid but I just keep scrolling - just keep scroll- And I think that I know why... (chorus) All my life is just a deception My imitation Of what someone Called perfection I already know what I'm doing, but Somehow I think this chase will end in satisfaction You could stand at a distance and look on And take notes how to not do this all wrong My whole life is made of Gingerbread A cookie-cutter job do cookie-cutter work Have a cookie-cutter collar On a button-down shirt You know, my house is made out of candy, And I've got a sugar green lawn Everything is sweet on the outside But it's only a matter of time before my world is gone And I think that I know why...

Yesterday 05:38
Yesterday, I held your hand and you held my heart beating Yesterday, we went on walks and talked too late in the evening Yesterday, I told you something that made you laugh so pretty Yesterday, I kissed your lips and you said, "I'm so glad we're getting married" (chorus) I don't know exactly where we begin But I pray to God I love you every second Cause we both know That as we grow old Time just passes, won't let us retake Yesterday, Yesterday Yesterday, I tied a string around my finger to tell you how I love you Yesterday, we had too much else to do - we only made time to argue Yesterday, you curled up next to me and you said, "I love you" Yesterday, it hit me just how much it hurts when I'm without you (chorus) Yesterday, I left three roses by your grave and I told you I miss you I miss the days when I could hold your pretty face next to mine and kiss you I miss the way we'd stay up laughing and crying and just being best friends Yesterday, I thought this lovely life with you would never end (chorus)

Thursday 04:18
It's a Thursday, and I don't want to go out But it's 6:30, gotta get to work and clock today's hours But on my drive it's raining, and that don't help anything Like really raining, like, I almost hit that guy on the bike Get to my building, and I sit in my cube And if I'm lucky, I might walk the halls and see you And say how you doing - how's your patio and how's your wife Sue? Then we'll say something funny, so we don't feel awkward when we walk away and resume Resume (chorus) Don't listen to the voice Don't follow where there's cash Don't let them make your choice God built you for more than that God gave you heart, Created you with dreams So just think while you work hard Cause success ain't what it seems Success ain't what it seems Check your heartbeat - if it's still going Then I would strongly suggest life if just knowing what all What all your blood pulsing through your veins is moving toward Tell me what's the war that you're fighting all your battles for Think about it, when's the last time that you really knew What your intention was for all the random stuff that you do? If you can think of honest reasons, great, Or else it's just noise, And wasted life (chorus) Come on everybody - come one, come all Come black, white, or striped - big, medium, or small Choose yourself a mold and we'll stuff you in good Get one or two more degrees And your life's shaped how it should be Don't ever stop to wonder how it could be When you're feeling like a cog in the machine You never asked for meaning, just for money So why would you complain? (chorus) ... I see a sea of people walking forward, covered eyes Never sure quite where they're going, never stopped to wonder why All they hope for is the weekend, all their purpose to survive I look down at them but realize we'll been walking stride for stride
