Lyrics: Down at Trouble Mountain Feeling basic as a naked person in a public fountain Figured I should summit in search of a source of power But it doesn’t ever cometh, there’s just more mountain The fit is all that and a chalk bag for traction Tell trouble here comes trouble with a passion Yea, it’s not a threat, it’s rot encoded in the helix From exposure to the trouble that nobody know but jesus And trouble loves trouble, the mountain should up and greet us Like an equal, I might just be the keys to the behemoth I might just tumble down and break my bones up into powder After reaching for a zenith we don’t even know is out there Forty days draped in the cumbersome Whatcha call a mountain that go up and up and up and up, troublesome You’d think it’s gotta level out eventually I wrote some shit to yell off of the mezzanine I’s gon’ be like On this day, at this time Trouble Mountain yields to a troubled mankind Henceforth, let it be established Something something something, anyway it never happened I’m trouble (double trouble) I’m trouble on trouble (you are nothing but trouble) Back at Trouble Mountain With a trillion carabiners, the compulsion is astounding I’m pushing for the peak, it’s one of my dozen labors A take on the troublemaker up the down escalator Dummy doused in the vapor, I’m getting passed by a goat He on that casual Friday, I’m on that rapture enrobed I’m on that trapped in a loop, black clouds tryin’ to cuddle Had to pound my chest, that sounds like trouble I wish a Saint Bernard would bring me cocoa Baked brie with honey and roasted mushroom risotto I don’t know what exactly I was venturing to prove I get something in my head and feel compelled to see it through at any cost Pace yourself, don’t play yourself Trouble in paradise, parrying the conveyor belt It makes an ETA almost impossible to predict Which gives me time to polish up the edict I’s gon be like On this day, at this time Trouble Mountain yields to a troubled mankind Henceforth let it be decreed Yadda yadda yadda, anyway it still a dream I’m trouble (double trouble) I’m trouble on trouble (you have caused so much trouble) Back at shmubble shmountain It’s becoming clear I may not get to make my dumb announcement Even with the muscle, the puzzle has him surrounded I’m in trouble, maybe trouble isn't meant to be surmounted Trouble is not a mountain, it’s a bout of misfortune Or when the morals you value are forced to bow to a chorus Or when your headquarters turns into a house of horrors Cuz your boring kid discovers power chords and distortion These aren’t things you can war with and subsequently be done They get absorbed in the sponge that we cut the rest of you from You bore a tunnel through the trouble, that’s informative stuff It’s moving forward instead of assuming forward is up Had to bail the whole altitude sickness business And frame it in a way that make my failure sound frivolous I kinda miss the falling rocks I had a thing I planned to front was off the top I’s gone be like On this day, at this time Trouble Mountain yields to a troubled mankind Hence forth let it be settled Blah blah blah, anyway, at sea level I’m trouble (double trouble) I’m trouble on trouble (you are trouble)
