    Challenge: "Get Ranked"

    BUG'S SONG

    Title: First and Second

    Lyrics:

    I wanna tell all my friends about you

    to tell my mom, who will tell my dad

    to find the best damn parts about this

    and celebrate the things I have... but I can't


    When I was kid at the dinner table

    my parents would make us make a thankful list

    the top 3 things about our day

    and I was always just the worst at this


    Some days it was simple but most days it was difficult

    my disposition leaned a bit more pessimist than typical


    its hard to get excited, like if life finds out I like it

    I will lose it, yeah its stupid and its superstitious


    So when you ask me the top 3 things

    I love about this, I still freeze up

    I probably look like a well-fed snake

    as I choke so hard on that softball toss


    I should just say "hell with it", maybe just embellish it

    "your laugh, your eyes, your smile" but I know I'm barely sellin it


    its hard to get excited, if life finds out I like it

    I will lose it, yeah its stupid, I just wanna


    tell all my friends about you

    to tell my mom, who will tell my dad

    to find the best damn parts about this

    and celebrate the things I have... but I can't


    Why am I like this?

    Why can't I admit everything's going well

    Why do I hide it?

    Hide all my joy in this bone-colored shell

    So I thought and I thought of my top 3 but its something I just couldn't do

    so here's my top 2...


    I'm tellin all my friends about you

    I told my mom (who told my dad)

    So here's the top 2 parts about this love

    they're the first and second half


    I'm tellin all my friends about you

    you told your mom I'm not thar bad

    So here's the top 2 parts about this love

    they're the first and second half


    the top 2 parts about this love

    is the first and second, the first and second half

    MATT'S SONG

    Title: The Great Pacific Garbage Patch

    Lyrics:

    I listed all my flaws in order
    Starting from the least of them
    The ones you might not even notice
    Bedbugs scattering for cover when
    the light goes on i just react,
    it isn't evidence of sentience or anything like that

    miseryguts
    shut up inside my castle
    overweight and
    undersentimental
    manic phases, chronic depression
    what a shame that no one will ever...

    I listed all my flaws in order
    So you'd know what to expect
    The ones that chafe your soul
    Until the day your perfect patience starts to crack
    i am a rock
    i am an island
    i'm the great pacific garbage patch

    forget about
    forgetting your birthday
    i won't remember your first name
    constantly expecting the worst
    so i can say that i saw it coming

    miseryguts
    shut up inside my castle
    overweight and
    undersentimental
    manic phases, chronic depression
    what a shame that no one will miss him

    Challenge: Not in this lifetime

    ----------------- BUG'S SONG Title: Crickets and Silence Lyrics:

    I'm just a little guy, a little wooden guy a little puppet I know you know, you know how this story goes I was a little guy, a little wooden guy but I'm a real boy now and I am finding out that nothing could prepare me. I'm like Peter Parker's Pediatrician (in over my head and I admit it) with human flesh and skin and all the mess that comes with it I was young and dumb and now I'm stuck Dad, can you come pick me up?? I'm just a little guy, a little human guy applying bandages to manage, so damn easy to damage it that little wooden guy, that tough skinned kid could take a hit and keep running, this fragile man I'm becoming misses his 80-grit blanklet and the ocean right outside of my bedroom and making choices just to see where they led to but now adventures are a threat to every moment I get I look around for guidance, our bravest days behind us we'll never be so bold again, with mortal bones and fragile skin no I didn't expect to find this, it's like Willy Wonka's Wine Cellar yeah, I guess I should've known better should've known that growing up is forever but we can't go back I look around for guidance, our bravest days behind us we'll never be so bold again, with mortal bones and fragile skin I look around for guidance, but all I hear is crickets and silence

    ----------------- MATT'S SONG Title: The Nature of Forms Lyrics:

    When the space between the spaces starts to strain When the puzzle pieces bend and don't quite fit in the same way When the molecules that make us lose their charge and break apart under the weight When the North star doesn't point north anymore When the constellations drift and leave us stranded on the shore When the suns have all gone supernova, freeze and then retreat into their cores If there is an after that comes after the before If after all of everything there's just a little something more And after all our time together we're both still on board What if plato had a point about ideals If the nature of a form is born in an elysian field And the parts of us that we call i could maybe one day recollide somewhere Then I will find you where ananke wound the spool At the source of all the rivers, at the end of all the worlds In the wreckage of the species, I will question every beast residing there If there is an after that comes after the before If there's some truth to all the stories I have mocked and sneered and scorned And after all our time together on this earth we're both still on board
