The Gummy Paradox

Verse 1)

Early bird’s out hunting, looking for the prize

But the patient man is winning, right before my eyes

Cinderella’s running, midnight’s on the clock

If that glass shoe fit so perfectly, why’s it sitting on the walk?

And I’m looking at the skyline, reaching for the tilt

Tell me why they call it a building, when the whole damn thing is built?

(Chorus)

It’s a backwards, sideways, upside-down kind of night

When the questions in your head hit you in the fridge's light

It’s the chaos of the mind, it’s a glitch inside the code

Just a heavy load of weirdness while we're staring down the road

Yeah, the weird is taking over, but we’re holding down the line

Just a couple gummy thoughts trying to rob us of our time.

(Verse 2)

Stepping out the shower, fresh and squeaky clean

So how’s this towel getting dirty? Tell me what that means.

I’m stuck in all this quicksand, sinking down below

If they call the stuff so quick, why’s it pulling me so slow?

And I’m looking at these pigeons, flying in the sky

But I ain't never seen a baby one, no matter how I try.

(Chorus)

It’s a backwards, sideways, upside-down kind of night

When the questions in your head hit you in the fridge's light

It’s the chaos of the mind, it’s a glitch inside the code

Just a heavy load of weirdness while we're staring down the road

Yeah, the weird is taking over, but we’re holding down the line

Just a couple gummy thoughts trying to rob us of our time.

(Verse 3 - The Breakdown)

Now I’m firing up the oven, and the logic starts to tangle

Round pie, square box, eating in a triangle.

Sirens in the distance, blazing through the muck

If they're bringing all the water, why call it a fire truck?

Got the cargo on the ocean, got the shipping in the lane

Fat chance or slim chance, it all just means the same.

(Outro)

Yeah, the apartments are together, and the rush hour is a crawl

If a thing's indescribable, you just described it all.
