Lyrics Mixed Nuts - Will Stetson

Within this world we love
We're just like nuts in a mixed bag
Packed tightly
And everyone has a partner they love
Who they snuggle tight
Now everything feels alright!
We look into each other's eyes and smile like we're peanuts
So brightly
But honestly the truth is obvious
This whole display is just a lie

What you see is only a template
Golden standard to all those passing by
But it's deeper than they know
Feelings never shown even when we're all alone
No one but each other
Hands on the table, but we're just putting on a show

Constantly choking back our secrets, just lying abound
This is no home, you know
I try to provide alibis, but still I cry
From my teeth, my true emotions need to be pried
No nothing is secure, I'm drifting, pathetic
It's no life and I know

Now every day's so mediocre
Boring and plain, passing by
But really I don't even mind
'Cause you are by my side
Now the truth is out, it feels so good!
My stomach's full and satisfied

But suddenly it was apparent
You weren't a peanut
Shell gone from sight
And everyone disappeared from your side
No one else remained

They thought that you weren't right
But that was when I stood beside you
Hoping to earn your love and praise
So through thick and through thin
You and I, we can face them all
Both our shells, they will become unbreakable

Whether you were born in the ground or in a tree skyward bound
It doesn't make any difference yet to me
No, we're all the same
All we need is sun and rain
To survive in this world
Let's make this barren land a fresh and hopeful place to be

Gazing outside, the weather's frightful
Freezing and wet I watch it go, you know
Inside I'm alright, storms are such a delight
'Cause there'll always be days where all the stars, they won't shine
Now let this life go by
Surprises can happen in this show, and I know
Anything could happen, but it is what it is, that I know
I'll just enjoy it while it lasts
And never let it go

Constantly choking back our secrets, lying abound
But it's my home, you know
Now we can try to fill our stomachs inside
With a great home-cooked meal
Or something plain from outside
Now nothing is assured
And everything changes in this life, and I know

Now every day's so mediocre
Boring and plain, passing by
But really I don't even mind
'Cause you are by my side
Now the truth is out, it feels so nice!
My stomach's full and satisfied
I'll keep on going through this miracle with you
This little something we call life!
