My life is what nature gave me Thanks mom and dad for getting it on I'm glad I'm here although there were times I wish I'd never been born at all I will walk I won't fall I will dream I won't stall I'm doing well although I worry about stuff Sometimes I get upset but then I've had enough I reset and everything is wonderful and fine Basking in the glow of eternal sunshine I will fly I won't die I'll live forever In your arms

Violets grow wild in my neighborhood some purple, some white and some blue We like to find them in the dead of wintertime and pick them to flavor our Kombucha tea Violet is the name of many friends and fictional characters But for some reason many people call my wife Violet when her name is Velvet Kombucha tea flavored with violets flavored with violets Kombucha tea Velvet not Violet Velvet not Violet

I like to look at the things that are on e-bay I like to shop for the things I don't need I saw some twisted metal candle things that looked familiar and made my wife sing mid century chic metal enamel colors Now my home is full of candle wares for candle lovers Big ones, small ones soft and perfectly fired I thought after getting ten I would be tired But we keep buying more and more and more and more Pillar candles in the bedroom, bathroom and by the door (I saw some) Now my home is full of candle wares Hanova, Hanova This is the house of Hanova Twisted sheet metal bent and torn cut with pointy tips and round edges enamel and smoooooth oh the things I don't need the things I don't need now my home is full of candle wares in all different colors Hanova, Hanova This is the house of Hanova

the day the truth died 03:02
lyrics

It's a lovely day 34 degrees and rising sun coming up in the east Leaders are compromising Giving into their better demons Afraid of the wrath of one They are hollow inside They are hollow inside Work is good I have great people on my team We gather round the table and talk about what's next and dream Leaders are compromising Afraid of the wrath of one They are hollow inside They are hollow inside Turn on the radio to hear the top 100 Tell their lamentations and lies They don't worry about how it goes They'll all be dead someday They are hollow inside on the day that truth died Leaders are compromising Afraid of the wrath of one They are hollow inside They are hollow inside

Befuddled protesters politicians looters rioters vandals cops without Virus protection Befuddled Did we not grow our hair shrink our economy our livelihood Befuddled Gave up our sports our concerts restaurants Befuddled did we not hear CDC this WHO that For what a virus that the human immune system can't recognize if you become infected by this highly contagious virus you will spend weeks quarantined no loved ones if you survive permanent damage to vital organs. Befuddled protesters politicians looters vandals cops spreading C19 all over this land Be safe? I am Befuddled. All over this land Don’t you understand Some things are more important Than one man Risking life and limb Risking our own health Because they murdered him He represents All of us
