100 Ways To Paint a Bowl of Limes

[Verse 1]
Here we are
In the best years of our lives
Wondering when we're gonna get it right
At the bar
There’s a stool reserved for you
A fitting joke
But when is the punchline?
We all could use a laugh
To suffer demons of our past
The poisons we keep bottled up inside

[Chorus]
Still alive
Does it feel like you're frozen in time?
Still alive
We're just hanging around ’til we die

[Verse 2]
In your car
Sitting on the 101
Seems like everybody's headed the same place
At your desk
Typing run-on sentences
A marathon of half-baked boilerplate
That's how these verses feel
Stuck in mud spinning my wheels
A hundred ways to paint a bowl of limes

[Chorus]
Still alive
Does it feel like you're frozen in time?
Still alive
We're just hanging around attracting flies

[Interlude]
And every daydream's a rerun
No one's changing the station
Something's gotta give or take or break

[Verse 3]
On the couch
Staring mindlessly at screens
Some story of a man searching in vain
Back to bed
Once the day finally relents
A passerby of your existence
Still you write it down
Attach a melody you’d found
An effigy forever fossilized

[Chorus]
Still alive
Does it feel like you’re frozen in time?
Still alive
We're just hanging around ’til–

[Bridge]
Staring at a cluttered page
I strain to set my story straight
Endless days of posing like I'm fine

[Chorus]
Still alive
Is the point of this just to survive?
Still alive
A portrait of modern mankind
