Mystery Meats
Navigating Life's Struggles: A Journey Through Willy Nilly's Mystery Meats
Lyrics
I know that it's starting to bring you down and it's already gotten me
The situation is becoming burdensome for you and has affected me as well.
We only smile when the kids come around
We only show happiness when children are present.
And it's been months and we lost count at weeks
Time has passed, and we've lost track after a few weeks turned into months.
Now half the battle's trying to pay the rent living off mystery meats
Half the struggle is affording basic living expenses, resorting to low-quality food.
So let it run until the gas is gone or until we finally feel some heat
We'll continue until we run out of resources or until we experience some warmth/comfort.
Woah, take it easy on me
Requesting leniency or understanding from others.
Woah, I'm on a miserable streak
Feeling consistently unhappy or unlucky.
But I washed both hands and I've been keeping them clean
Claiming cleanliness and innocence despite hardships.
So I've got no choice but to jump in with both feet
Feeling compelled to fully commit despite the circumstances.
Stuff what fits into a beat up car that I paid way too much to fix
Putting belongings in a worn-out vehicle, regretting the high cost of its repair.
I was thinking at the time that I'd be dead or rich by twenty-six
Expecting either early success or demise by a specific age (26).
Now I've prayed to everybody's god hoping one of them will stick
Seeking help from various sources in desperation.
Another year of getting kicked around you'll be as cynical as this
Predicting that enduring further hardships will breed cynicism.
Woah, take it easy on me
Asking for leniency or understanding.
Woah, I'm on a miserable streak
Continuing to feel consistently unhappy or unlucky.
But I washed both hands and I've been keeping them clean
Reiterating cleanliness and innocence despite hardships.
So I've got no choice but to jump in with both feet
Feeling obliged to fully commit despite the circumstances.
Back against the wall
Feeling trapped with no apparent solution.
Hoping there's still hope involved
Hoping there's still a chance for improvement.
Have I just gotten old?
Questioning if aging has contributed to the current situation.
Waiting to fold
Waiting for a breaking point or collapse.
I know some days I tend to bring us down but I'm just trying to take the reigns
Taking control of the situation despite causing occasional distress.
Because I've gone deeper than I want to go and I have sworn I won't go back again
Going deeper into a difficult situation, vowing not to return.
I'm just trying to use the God damn time because for so long I have complained
Finally deciding to utilize time after a prolonged period of complaining.
If I don't make it out in better shape then I must not be worth my name
Feeling that failure to improve will diminish one's worth.
Woah, take it easy on me
Pleading for leniency or understanding.
Woah, I'm on a miserable streak
Continuing to feel consistently unhappy or unlucky.
But I washed both hands and I've been keeping them clean
Reiterating cleanliness and innocence despite hardships.
So I've got no choice but to jump in with both feet
Feeling compelled to fully commit despite the circumstances.
