Uptight Lyrics by Baked Goods

A Vivid Hallucination

2017

[Verse 1]
I’ve been too uptight
Everybody’s saying that I’ve seen a certain light
But I’m content with what I see
And what it is, it don’t bother me
I suppose to some it’s just the sun

Nurses rush in every day
To tell me everything’s gonna be okay
I’m not really sure what the fuss is for
It’s time for my sedation
An alphabet soup of their creation
Turns my colors to a bore

[Verse 2]
I’ve been too unwell
I keep searching for something
I need to think up a spell
To remedy my condition
The plot forever thickens
Sometimes I’m not sure if I’m alive

[Chorus]
So won’t you help me out?
Because I don’t understand
The way the world works and
Well, I don’t believe all these people
On the TV, they’re lying to me
Trying to sell me a reason to breathe
And we’re all dust and we’ll always be
Until we cease to be us
And maybe I’m just too blind to see

[Verse 3]
Today is yesterday’s tomorrow
And tomorrow always seems too far away
So why the hurry if we’re all just out of time?
We can sit and laugh together
On our way to the other side

[Chorus]
So won’t you help me out?
Because I don’t understand
The way the world works and
Well, I don’t believe all these people
On the TV, they’re lying to me
Trying to sell me a reason to breathe
And we’re all dust and we’ll always be
Until we cease to be us
And maybe I’m just…

[Outro Chorus]
And we’re all dust and always be
Until we cease to be us
And maybe I’m just dumb

[Outro Verse]
I’ve been too uptight
But I’m starting to realize
There never was a light
Just something to pretend
We’re all not so alone in the end
I guess they’re too blind to see
That it’s them
