Get My Good Side

Got no color in my cheeks
I can't smile more than half-heartedly
I gotta filter the truth, keep it from you
Until I believe it too
I'll flash that counterfeit grin
Beware the light you see me in
Make sure you get my good side
Is that really what I look like?
When you cross my camera eye
I, I take a snapshot in my mind
So when I step into the frame
I’m imitating, shifting shapes
I know the perfect pose
Break my back just for the show
Watch me pretty-up my flaws
You’ll see them when the lights are off
And when I feel so ugly
The camera loves me, honey
I never looked better
Make sure you get my good side

Don't cast your pennies
In the cup that I drink from
The bitter taste of money
Spoils my freedom
And while you argue over
The new authority
And tell me who’s your god today,
It makes no nevermind to me
Go ahead and draw your lines
But you're surrounded on all sides
You build a barricade
Around your property
And keep your fortune
Under lock and key
You step back
From those who oppose ya
And soon enough you’ll find
That’s why you stand alone, but
I’ll dance around this cruel earth
Like it’s all neutral turf, yeah
Go ahead and wave your flag
But mine is painted black
Every time you draw your lines
You’re on the wrong side

I wish I was more—
What’s the term for it?
Articulate, you know,
Good with words and shit
But I’m peddling cheap diction
And the words burn when I spit ‘em
I’m singing to the masses
You’re preaching to the birds
My voice is radio static
They hang on your every word
Because you make them count
And I patter and stutter and stammer and mutter
Til “mothers” and “fuckers” eventually slip out
They’re just bound to
Ooh baby, say that line,
That silent kind again
Give me those eyes,
They’re words to live by, yeah
Oh you’re a whisper in a crowded room but
Those who care to listen won’t mind the volume
Tell me something good

Real Problems
03:24

I can get, I can get
Out of bed if I want to
But I just haven’t made
Up my mind if I do
Just one step, just one step
Whichever direction
Or I can dream, where I’d be
If I wanted to move
And they say
Some people have real problems
Make me feel bad if I got one
Think I’ll stay in all day
Wait for something to happen
Go online, start a fight
And change nobody’s mind
Think I might drive all night,
Throw my phone in a canyon (ooo hoo!)
And I’ll watch it hit the rocks
Just before I run to get a new one
I think I’m part of the problem
I think I’m part of the problem
I can get, I can get out of bed
If I want to
I can get, I can get out of bed
I can get out of bed, out of bed
I don’t want to
I can get out of bed, out of bed
I don’t want to

Midnight Line

Calculated
Improvised
He was licking his lips,
His tail was swatting flies
And I stepped one toe across the midnight line,
Across the midnight line
I’ll drink the potion
I’m in decline
He’s got a comfy pocket
In just my size
And I stepped one toe across the midnight line,
Across the midnight line
I know I shouldn’t do it
I do it anyway
I let him in my head
And I know he can stay as long as he’d like
I stepped one toe across the midnight line,
Across the midnight line

Patty PerShayla Nashville, Tennessee
Despite being a three-piece band, The Mayhaps have developed a larger-than-life sound with soaring guitar solos and compelling vocal moments, featuring a spectacle of a five-foot-two (-and-three-quarters) woman, hooting and strutting across the stage, gracefully wielding a bass guitar almost the size of her wingspan. ... more
