“Jellyfish”
Written by Kyle Guisande & Devin Guisande

Lately I feel stuck
I’ve been in a rut
Mood is in the mud
Mud, mud, mud
It’s been hard to sleep
I’m still countin’ sheep
Bones are actin’ weak
Weak weak weak 

What do you do
When life’s heavy
Weighin on you 
And takes every-
Thing to get through 
What do you do 

I like like to move
I like I like like to move 
I like like to move
I like I like like to move 
Like a jellyfish, jellyfish
Like a jellyfish, jellyfish 

I can feel a change
All the clouds were gray
Sun come out to play 
Play play play
Found my second wind
0 to a 10 
Imma call my friends
Friends friends friends 

What do you do
When life’s heavy
Weighin on you 
And takes every-
Thing to get through 
What do you do 

Don’t stay where you’re at
