LYRICS:

[Verse 1: MINES & Ucklin]
You collapse on the fractured earth with a shovel in your grip
Over your quivering chest you see there's another on the lip
Whatever’s inside has been circumscribing far too long
You try your best to resist but find it’s enticement far too strong
Suddenly you're beneath the roots of a massive flooded tree
Far from the crown as the leaves fall down they transform and wiggle free
Smoky drool spirals from their schools and collects in painters' trays
You point and turn for the awestruck crowd but you only see your face

[Prechorus: MINES]
If nothing beside remains
Why can't we try again?

[Chorus: Ucklin]
You can bead all of the words that you want on the string of your sentence
It doesn’t matter because they slip off and the ringing is endless
Clattering across the carpet floor, never to be found
Even though the air becomes the sound, somewhere the meaning gets stuck

[Verse 2: MINES & Ucklin]
In a room full of frozen eyes and twinkling silver drills
Your precious breath drips down from ears that don't distill
And you stumble right back to the rift you rent amid drifting stalks of grain
And you ask when the field’s getting plowed again
And the buildings extend to the edge of sight with no taper to their ends
But your fate's still written where the sky bends
And when you run your fingers across the sun, you find the surface bears a crack
Don't look inside, something's looking back

[Prechorus: MINES]
If nothing beside remains
Why can't we try again?

[Chorus: Ucklin]
You can bead all of the words that you want on the string of your sentence
It doesn’t matter because they slip off and the ringing is endless
Clattering across the carpet floor, never to be found
Even though the air becomes the sound, somewhere the meaning gets stuck

[Bridge: MINES & Ucklin]
If I had a voice
Still I couldn't say
One sole secret syllable that wouldn't bleach to grey
Now that we've unfurled
Spectacles regrown
Who's to say they aren't just the old ones, clean as bone?

[Outro: James A. Lovell, Jr]
The craters are all rounded off. There's quite a few of them, some of them are newer.
Many of them look like, especially the round ones, look like hits by meteorites or projectiles of some sort.

The sequel to "Home" none of us four were sure we would make initially has finally come to fruition after ages of work! Stuck is track 32 of the new UMSPAF album "Land of Fans and Music 5 Act 2". It's a counterpart to Home, just as long as that song. (In fact, you can listen to both songs combined as a bonus track on LOFAM5.2!) While Grace wrote Home and I did most of the production, Stuck is really Grace's baby. Most of the writing and production you hear is fabulously hers, while I filled in some of the gaps. MINES and Ucklin contribute their wonderful vocals, without which the song wouldn't shine as it does.

Just as much as Home, if not moreso, this song was a team effort. Four years' worth of improvement has manifested into this ode to fan music, MTAHK, Homestuck, and all the little things. Thank you for listening.

"No no no, see... this ain't no "soft" drink we're talking about here... nah. This is an electrifying, energetic, caffeinated sugary rush in a bottle!

It'll perk you right up if you're feeling sluggish!
It might even make you... a little.... too hyper... at times. BUT I MEAN, WHO CARES ABOUT THAT RIGHT??

Still up for it? Well, alright then! But don't say I didn't warn you..."
