Not Tonight

VERSE 1

All I want to do is lay on the couch

Keep the TV on while I’m zoning out

A precious fur baby on my chest

Relaxing this way is truly the best

Any other night would have been okay

Any other night, I wouldn’t want to stay

But for now it’s time to turn out the light

Not tonight, my sweetie, just not tonight

VERSE 2

All I want to do is read my novel

I shouldn’t even have to beg or grovel

I shouldn’t have to debate this with you

I’m an introvert and it’s nothing new

Any other night would be pure bliss

Any other night, I wouldn’t want to miss

But for now this isn’t worth a fair fight

Not tonight, my queen, just not tonight

VERSE 3

All I want is a bowl of ice cream

To satisfy my sweetest sweet tooth dreams

Peanut butter chocolate or plain vanilla

It’d be worth weighing more than a gorilla

Any other night we’d have a healthy meal

Any other night I’d submit to your deal

But for now sugary heaven just feels right

Not tonight, my lady, just not tonight

VERSE 4

You can call me lazy as I swim in gravy

You can call me a child innocent and mild

All I know is that I need my own space

All I know is that I need a comfy place

To rest my head and decompress my mind

Before anxiety crushes me from behind

I’m sure one day you’ll understand my plight

Not tonight, my lovely, just not tonight

Rise and Shine

VERSE 1

Rise and shine for your fucked up mind

There’s no more time to relax and unwind

Get your ass out of bed, Mr. Sleepyhead

Rise like a zombie coming back from the dead

CHORUS 1

Rise and shine or your ass is mine!

Rise and shine, don’t fucking whine!

Rise and shine for the dollar signs!

Wake up! Wake up! Wake up!

VERSE 2

Too many stories and not enough glory

A life of snoring is so damn boring

Work your fingers to the powdery bone

Your flesh melts like an ice cream cone

Your blood boils like a river of lava

Your wheels turn as you pen this drama

Do it all again on the very next day

This line of work is where you’ll stay

CHORUS 1

Rise and shine or your ass is mine!

Rise and shine, don’t fucking whine!

Rise and shine for the dollar signs!

Wake up! Wake up! Wake up!

BRIDGE

This lifestyle isn’t just a stepping stone

It’s what you should be calling home

There’s nothing bigger, nothing better

To your own craft, you are a debtor

VERSE 3

Something mysterious is holding you back

Energy and fire is what you fucking lack

You burned yourself out like a dying candle

The daily grind you’ll never be able to handle

Good morning is a hypocritical phrase

When all you want to do is laze in your haze

Stressed out, pissed off, fucked up, get lost

Now you know the deal, time to pay the cost

CHORUS 2

Rise and shine? Go fuck yourself!

Rise and shine? Go straight to hell!

Rise and shine? No goddamn chance!

Find another partner for your puppet dance!
