I'LL NEVER LEARN Music and Lyrics by Josephinex Ashley Hansis
I never drink and drive, no
Just like my mother told me
To swig a cold one I pull over
To the shoulder of the road
And before I sleep I strive, yeah
To give the lord my thankies
Instead I count my curses
And pray I die before I wake
Oh, I'd like to file a complaint
Yeah, I've got a bellyache
And I feel like heaving my grievances
I've got misgivings about this whole living thing
But as long as I'm alive, I'll never learn not to love
My gun is pointing at me
And I'm triggered just to pull it
Off the shelf, to off myself
But when it comes down to it, I probably couldn't
Plus I'm not worth the price of a bullet
So I spare myself and think of the savings
Got mud on my face yet I'm so amazing
Cause if you're worthless then you're also priceless
If you finish last, then it means you're the nicest
So what's the worth of being first in the first place?
You get to first base, it's the second-to-worst place
One, two, three strikes, you're out – except if you're bowling
So ignore the score and just keep on rolling
I'd like to file a complaint
I've got a bellyache
And I feel like heaving my grievances
I've got misgivings about this whole living thing
But as long as I'm alive, I'll never learn not to love
I never drink and drive, no
Just like my mother told me
To swig a cold one I pull over
To the shoulder of the road
My stomach is one big ulcer, yeah
And my lungs must look repulsive
My brain is rotten, my liver is shot
But I've still got a pulse and my heart will go on
I've been kicking and screaming since the day I was born
I get my cardio daily boiling buckets of blood
I'm bent out of shape, but I'll never learn not to love
I'll never learn, I'll never learn
I'll never learn not to love, I'll never learn not to love
I'll never learn, I'll never learn
I'll never learn not to love, I'll never learn not to love
I'll never learn, I'll never learn, I'll never learn not to love
I'll never learn not to love
For my phone, a charger for my phone
Does anyone have a charger for my phone?
For my phone, a charger for my phone
Does anyone have a charger for my phone?

Days that End in Why

Sunday afternoon
Staring at the moon
Some see it half full, I just see it half new
Why'd I disappear?
And why am I still here?
Is a ghost not supposed to be clear?
A tree falls in the forest
And there’s no one around
It's crying and it's screaming
And it still doesn't make a sound
Minutes pass slowly
And the weeks, they fly right by
Every day, it ends the same
Why, why, why, why, why?
I am colorblind
I think in black and white
No gray matter in my mind
I live in extremes
Fasting or feasting
Never in between
I quit every morning
And I work hard all day
And then I relax
And then I relapse
But it's not all or nothing
Because it's always something
And there's always
Something missing
The minutes pass slowly
And the weeks, they fly right by
Every day, it ends the same
Why, why, why, why, why?

Sometimes it seems the trees are burning
And the flooding's no relief
It seems the tide is really turning
Over a new leaf eternally
How many worlds are on the planet Earth?
And what's beyond the first?
The water always breaks before the birth
This mutha looks about to burst
Well, you know how they say
That even a broken clock is right two times a day
It's getting late and I'm getting afraid
Not gonna wait till 88:88
When we march our feet are out of step
And yet our shoulders are aligned
We're not soldiers but we represent
A fighting chance to un-rewind
Looks like it's all downhill from here on out
So let's just make the most
We're going under, there's no doubt
So sing a song and coast along
Well, you know how they say
That even a broken clock is right two times a day
It's getting late and I'm getting afraid
Not gonna wait till 88:88
Well, you know how they say
Even a broken clock is right two times a day
The more things stay, the more they change the same
When you're lookin' at the liquid-crystal display
