BUG'S SONG
Title: First and Second
Lyrics:
I wanna tell all my friends about you
to tell my mom, who will tell my dad
to find the best damn parts about this
and celebrate the things I have... but I can't

When I was kid at the dinner table
my parents would make us make a thankful list
the top 3 things about our day
and I was always just the worst at this

Some days it was simple but most days it was difficult
my disposition leaned a bit more pessimist than typical

its hard to get excited, like if life finds out I like it
I will lose it, yeah its stupid and its superstitious

So when you ask me the top 3 things 
I love about this, I still freeze up
I probably look like a well-fed snake
as I choke so hard on that softball toss

I should just say "hell with it", maybe just embellish it
"your laugh, your eyes, your smile" but I know I'm barely sellin it

its hard to get excited, if life finds out I like it
I will lose it, yeah its stupid, I just wanna

tell all my friends about you
to tell my mom, who will tell my dad
to find the best damn parts about this
and celebrate the things I have... but I can't

Why am I like this?
Why can't I admit everything's going well
Why do I hide it?
Hide all my joy in this bone-colored shell
So I thought and I thought of my top 3 but its something I just couldn't do
so here's my top 2...

I'm tellin all my friends about you
I told my mom (who told my dad)
So here's the top 2 parts about this love
they're the first and second half

I'm tellin all my friends about you
you told your mom I'm not thar bad
So here's the top 2 parts about this love
they're the first and second half

the top 2 parts about this love
is the first and second, the first and second half

MATT'S SONG
Title: The Great Pacific Garbage Patch
Lyrics:
I listed all my flaws in order
Starting from the least of them
The ones you might not even notice
Bedbugs scattering for cover when 
the light goes on i just react,
it isn't evidence of sentience or anything like that 

miseryguts
shut up inside my castle
overweight and
undersentimental
manic phases, chronic depression
what a shame that no one will ever...

I listed all my flaws in order
So you'd know what to expect
The ones that chafe your soul
Until the day your perfect patience starts to crack
i am a rock
i am an island
i'm the great pacific garbage patch

forget about
forgetting your birthday
i won't remember your first name
constantly expecting the worst
so i can say that i saw it coming

miseryguts
shut up inside my castle
overweight and
undersentimental
manic phases, chronic depression
what a shame that no one will miss him
