lyrics

Take a step outside and sniff the grass.
This stirring that has bunkered deep inside.
Glam yourself up. Drink yourself down.
Shake up all the whispers that you keep.

Glistening and breathing in the April sun.
Take a grip on the cap that holds you back.
Twist the lid. Fear the sip.
Take in all of the nutrients and throw it all about.

(Shake well! Shake well!)
Shaken up and spat back out
(Shake well! Shake well!)
A miniscule price you’ll spend
(Shake well! Shake well!)
Wake up in the morning to the window’s gleam
(Shake well! Shake well!)
Combine all of your trauma in a scream

Chug the coconut-y water as if you need it to live.
In a way you just might.
Release all of this tension in your right arm.
Shaking well might result in a tired display.

Coughing and spouting all of your gunk
The pressure that’s amounting is too much
Stop, breathe, collect all your thoughts
Stop until the only thing that’s left is the urge to

(Shake well! Shake well!)
Snake eyes on the paradise
(Shake well! Shake well!)
Keep all your feelings quick and concise
(Shake well! Shake well!)
Bottle up all your fears and run out of steam
(Shake well! Shake well!)
Combine all of your trauma in a scream

All I need to do is shake well
(All I need to do is shake well)
All I need to do is shake well
(All I need to do is shake well)
[and so on]
