Ukulele

## Role In Cartoonland

The song was written to be sung by Raz before reaching the Guru in the Foolish Trepidation Arc, but was never performed or completed. Ann had taught him the ukulele prior to the song, and Raz would have used the instrument to put together a song that reflected the struggles in his life during the arc.

## Lyrics

(Verse 1) Maybe I’m not meant for this

Maybe I’m just an optimist

But no, no, no, no, no

No, no, no, no-o

I wake up and I cry at night

Cause I know that something’s not right

I know, know, know, kno-ow

Know, know, kno-o-o-o-o-ow

I’m in pain but I try to hide it

I’m in pain and I’m oh so frightened

In fear, oh oh o-oh

Fear, oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh

(Chorus) Don’t worry ‘bout me I’m fine

I look forward and try to see clear skies

Hide my fear cause I have to fight it

Hide my fear but it worsens at night and I

Feel like this is all my fault

But I take that with a grain of salt

And I’m aggravated and irritated

Cause I feel so useless and debilitated

My girlfriend’s dead, and so is my family

And here I am, strumming my ukulele

(Verse 2) My stomach churns both day and night

Tears fill my eyes ‘till I can’t see the light

It’s dark, dark, dark, dark, dark

Dark, dark, da-a-a-a-a-ark

I say that I’m fine but you know I’m lying

Do all I can to try and stop the crying

And the pain, oh, oh, oh, oh,

Pain, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

I never thought it would come to this

I never thought that would be our last kiss

But it was, it was, it was, it wa-as

It was, it was it was it was it was it was

(Chorus 2) I don’t know if we can get her back

The thought her gives me a panic attack

I lay frozen on the bathroom floor

I cough, I cough and then I cough some more and I

Can’t unsee all that I saw

I wake up screaming and I feel so raw

And I’m just a kid, with too much trauma

And i can’t go crying to my mama

And it hurts so bad

But that sounds crazy

Cause I’m just fine playing my ukulele

(bridge) I’m sure by now I’ve overstayed my welcome

I’m sure by now you all are probably so done

With all this ranting in a minor key

And probably you’re also done with me

Thanks for the food, the water, and the bed

And thanks for letting me get into your heads

But I’ve done nothing but cause you dismay

So i don’t see why you want me to stay

Thanks for listening but I have to go

I hope that everyone enjoyed the show

Of a kid crying and going stir crazy

All while he’s playing a ukulele

All while he’s playing a ukulele

All while he’s playing a ukulele

All while he’s playing a ukulele

All while he’s playing a ukulele

(Outro) People are dying but I just keep playing

The world is ending but I just keep playing

And now I’m crying but I just keep playing

Panic’s attacking but I just keep playing

It’s getting stuffy but I just keep playing

My mouth is leaking but I just keep playing

Can’t slow my breathing but I just keep playing

My body’s shaking but I just keep playing

And now I’m frozen so I can’t keep playing.

And now I’m frozen so I can’t keep playing.

And now I’m frozen so I can’t keep playing.

And now I’m frozen so I can’t keep playing.
