Kevin recorded this on a Rock Band mic when he was 15. Pretty good given how shitty it is. He added the bass 11 years later.

lyrics

I woke up and drank my favorite cup
of one more time against the grind
I jumped into the recycling bin
Now what funk could they make with this junk

I walked past a bursting cytoplast
Who spilled his organelles all in my cells
I arrived at the construction site
Building the shed where they plan to keep the dead

Retain x15
Hold it together now keep it together now

I let out a sneeze and that goddamn breeze
Carried it back to hit me in the face
I checked my phone but there was no one home
How I was waiting for a single call

I count the days for that month of may
To take you and bring you to my door
I fall asleep after I violently weep
So it’s one more time against the grind

Retain x15
Hold it together now keep it together now

I got lost somewhere among the moss
Now what the hell could make this smell
I looked around and there I found
The ditch where they buried that snitch

I let out a shout and he turned up his snout
And set shut up I’m trying to watch the film
I woke up for real and couldn’t help but feel
That it was one more time against the grind.

Retain x15
Hold it together now keep it together now
Retain x15
Hold it together now keep it together now

I wrote you a song but it came out all wrong
So I’ll just wait for you to teach me how
