## Lyrics

```
Oh shoot! This is the place to be!
This is the place that's poppin!

Shake my fist with a “why I oughta”
My hands might rip with the way I gotta
Vice grip tight grip and the things I’d rather
Let go, I know it’s the way, it unfolds and I’m told
Puzzle piece only work in one position
I’m running late to parties, my distain left me conflicted
I could make some more excuses but I learned to love the taste
Of making something out of nothing if it’s in front my face
I’m doing the best that I can
I'm safer inside of my head
I’m humbling fumbling by
I’m making out here alive
Cuz your story’s mostly told if you manage to get old
And I’m not losing sight till my mark's made in gold

So many evil people in so many evil places
Ugly in their skin and so ugly in their face
But keep going (Keep going)
Keep going (Keep going)
Keep going (Keep going)
Keep going (Keep going)
You might also like

So many evil thoughts in so many little creases
Shooting every shot, but still falling on my knees
Keep going (Keep going)
Keep going (Keep going)
Keep going (Keep going)
Keep going (And it goes like)

*(Myles Bullen)*
<Song for Shawn made while touring
Dark and thinly drawn, Edward Gorey
Got washing machines but no dryers in Europe
Like sweet tooth, addicted to maple syrup
Never had the chance to stop, never got advances (nope)
Built it with my own hands, made my own plans (yup)
Us underground rats stay in packs
Not much sleep but we eat good (facts)
Compulsively addicted to the center of attention end up needing time alone
Practice detachment
Delete the distracting apps on my phone
Design the merch, gather the poets, take the stage, split the bounty, hit the road

(S. Reidy & *Myles Bullen*)
So many evil people in so many evil places
Ugly in their skin and so ugly in their face
But keep going (Keep going)
Keep going (Keep going)
Keep going (Keep going)
Keep going (Keep going)
So many evil thoughts in so many little creases
Shooting every shot, but still falling on my knees
Keep going (Keep going)
Keep going (Keep going)
Keep going (Keep going)
Keep going (And it goes like)

<*(Myles Bullen)*
Never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever stop, never stop
Never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever stop
