    *A NOTE ON SHIPPING COSTS*
    I get a lot of emails about the pricey shipping costs so I just want to address it here. I'm not scamming you. These are the actual costs of the US postal service priority mail right now. Especially shipping outside of the USA, the costs are very high, I know. I wish I could do something about it to make this more accessible but I can't. I only send priority mail now instead of a cheaper media mail because I've had so many issues in the past with things getting lost or destroyed if I don't send priority mail and then I end up having to reimburse the cost of the record as well as the shipping and I've lost a lot of money that way so this is really the only option for me shipping right now unfortunately. Just know that all the shipping costs are going towards actual postage, I'm not pocketing any money beyond the cost of the item. I understand if you can't stomach the shipping cost, I don't blame you....love you anyways :)

lyrics

Stuck on a rock in the middle of the river
Stuck on a rock with my worries so wide
How do I smile and wave as they pass me by?
I’m stuck on a rock until the bed runs dry

The house that I live in should be condemned
The car that I drive doesn’t drive
They say I should be happy for my friends living high
But I’m stuck on a rock for the longest time

But its a big rock
A big flat rock
Make myself a little home
Even though I’m all alone
The view’s alright

I just need a small drought
Not much of a drought
So I can get the water level down
Get my feet back on the ground this time

Stuck in between floors on the elevator
Stuck in a box with my worries so tall
How do I smile when my ride going up has stalled?
I’m stuck in a box while they’re all on the job

But its a big box
A pretty good box
Make myself a little home
Even though I’m all alone
I’ve got some time

I just need a great thought
That I can write down
Let it grow here and incubate
No matter if I end up late this time
