Lyrics

[CRAIG Constantly my brain is on repeat It says you're the reason that you're here All alone feeling like a ghost screaming when nobody can hear you You might as well just disappear [spoken] They say that there's a light at the end of the tunnel But they never tell you how long the tunnel is All life feels like a dream and that's just reality [COUNSELOR, spoken] That's great Craig. Humble you're up, whats on your mind [HUMBLE, spoken] Uh my mom. Yea I miss her She don't miss me' always causing trouble for her making life hard for everyone I think [sung] Its okay that she feels that way. She thinks its best for me that I stay here I try to call' try to tell how Humble is better than before But she don't come around no more [spoken] I always wanted to be a guy that people celebrated quietly in their heads' ya know? "Hey there goes Humble, he's a good guy" [THERAPIST, spoken] You'll get there, you know that right?" [HUMBLE, spoken] I guess [sung] All life's really a dream as far as reality' not a thing for awhile When life's like barely a thing we can be anything [JC, spoken] Me next! I have made the decision to finally break up with my friend Nick [CRAIG, spoken] Who's Nick? [JC, spoken] Oh yes. Such a long and dramatic story short Nick was my best friend since we were babies We did everything together our whole lives I told him all my secrets, when I told him who I knew I was, like on the inside Things just got weird. And when I started my transition' he was different [sung] It was strange he completely changed, but I thought he'd come around He'd retreat, tell me I'm a freak But I just kept holding out Cause that what friends are all about [spoken] Starting today I would like you all to call me Jennifer Because that who I am and I love everything about me [ALL, spoken and clapping] Hell yeah Jennifer! [JENNIFER, sung] Now all life's really a dream as far as reality We just leave it behind Sometimes you can't even scream, just hold on And don't dwell on the little things [THERAPIST, spoken] Bobby you're up, last week we talked about your wife and daughter [BOBBY, spoken] Karen told me that Zoe started the second grade last week [sung] The last time that i saw her, she could barely form a sentence She's in second grade, now she's in second grade Karen understands I'm sick Well she prefers the word "imbalanced" So that's what we say I guess it takes the sting away for her I could hear her growing through the phone She told me how's she doing She's in second grade, but she talks just like a lady Then she asked me when I might come home, I told her, maybe soon [spoken] Karen told me not to lie to her "You're always lying" she says But, you know what I think its okay I,I,I Lying's not okay I know that But keeping the truth away from someone who couldn't possible handle the reality I don't know The truth hurts sometimes I don't wanna hurt anybody [COUNSELOR, spoken] And what do you want most of all [BOBBY, spoken] I want to get into the group home I want to see my daughter again I want my life back [sung] Its an impossibility to explain Cause it'd just be too painful to understand [HUMBLE & CRAIG] How dare it be so easy to be afraid Of a loose grenade you hold in your hand {JENNIFER & NOELLE] The constant fear comes in any size [ALL] That's why I'm so surprised I plug my ears, I close my eyes and sing La la la la la la La la la la La la la la la la La la la la [NOELLE, spoken] Hey, you know when you go to the beach And you come home and track sand into your house [CRAIG, spoken] Yeah? [NOELLE, spoken] That's how you make me feel Because when you came here It was like you tracked part of the outside world with you You reminded me there's something to get back to [sung] When life's like barely a thing, how can we breathe? [ALL] All life feels like a dream as far as reality Not a thing for a mile When life's like barely a thing we can be anything All lives really a dream as far as reality Not a thing for a mile Sometimes you can't even scream just hold on And don't dwell on the little things
