it's crystal clear to me 

that i've been killing time
nothing's going to stand in my way
cause i'm not done even if the sun sets 

i will start a fire to change your mind

a notion cold as the night air starts within in my head 

spreads like ink right through my veins

all of our kings are dead

i am not a scholar and I don't believe in fate 

surely as i share your blood will I end up the same?

if there's one thing I have learned in my short time on this earth
devotion should be owed not earned only you determine what you're worth

i always kinda sorta wished i was someone else

what if there's nothing more to me? i'm just skin and bones there's no mystery 

what if you're just an empty shell? all your spare parts were used up by someone else
what if there's no way to explain things like deja vu and acid rain? 

what if we're all just broken shelves full of someone else's thoughts?

 what if there's nothing more to us? we're just carbon-based we're just pixie dust
what if life is a magic trick? some quick slight of hand just to make us think

what if consciousness can't expand and we fool ourselves with absurd demands?

what if there is no point at all? we just grow up to fade away
will we get lost slowly drifting through these dead and lonesome heights?

what if there's nothing more to me? i'm just skin and bones
what if there's nothing more to you? what if there's nothing left for us?
will anyone remember? does it all just simply turn to dust?

will we be alright left alone tonight? will we be alright left alone tonight?

will we get lost slowly drifting through these dead and lonesome heights?
will we be alright left alone tonight? will we be alright left alone tonight?

i-
wish-
i were a-
ghost!
wish-
i were a-
so i guess i’m wiped out,
so i guess i’m wiped out,
so i guess i’m wiped out,
so i guess i’m wiped-

this is where it all comes down,
i live my life in fear of things i,
can’t explain, i fear-
i’m fine,
don’t encage-
whoa, watch out for blood!

wasting the hours now

we're all suckers for tragedies

and start this over again
and you bring us to our knees

there’s a point to make that sometimes goes unheard like the blood in your veins you often forget
what we are is a species on the brink who’ll be left to pick our bones clean?
and the vultures swarm high above ready to feed of the last of us
sacrificial lambs lead to the slaughter we eat the shit they feed us everyday
when there’s one great idea amongst the rest they try their best to put it back in its place
and the vultures swarm high above ready to feed of the last of us
so carve me up and hold me down i'm not done speaking my mind
they said it wouldn’t hurt one bit when they brought us to the brink
they said it wouldn’t hurt one bit extinction it’s on our minds

my mind wanders back to our oblivious existence

i'm all choked up now with the threat of distance

as the train bound for disaster chokes up at the station

i don't board it cause i decide that it's the wrong destination

but the train bound for sustainability is nowhere to be seen

and i'm lost so lost where are the constellations that guide me?

and then i realize that we need to use our own two feet to walk these tracks

and we have to squad up and we have to watch each other's backs

with forgiveness as our torch and imagination our sword

i'll need someone to write this line a grim sorrow so equal and free

every inch of this earth is yours all the land and all the sea

imagine no restrictions but the climate and the weather

then we can explore space together forever

and i am lost so lost you are the constellations

i'll come down to get you high or maybe sing you a lullaby

sing you to sleep a sleep you'll never wake from sing you to coma so to speak

and when i fall down i'll fall apart trade in my bike for a shopping cart

and beg change from a world that needs some like i need someone

so where are you my little needle? the stack's been burned away

 but i'm so inebriated that i cannot see three feet in front of me

between the moon and you lunacy is setting in 

lately i've been feeling dead inside like my guts have dried up and died

but every night i water them back to life yeah every night i water them back to life

and when i fall down i'll fall apart trade in my bike for a shopping cart

and beg change from a world that needs some i'm tired of sleeping alone

so where are you my little needle? the stack's been burned away

but i'm so inebriated that i cannot see three feet in front of me

between the moon and you lunacy is setting in

did you hear the trumpets play the day your father died?

did a violin swell those circles under your eyes? 

did you play the part straight like a marcher? 

get lost in the beat thinking and feeling? 

did the drums in the streets make the people dance? 

or fall to their knees as the sound knock the leaves from the trees 

as they fall from the branch the look beautiful as they hung in the air

spinning around did you float in the air? (spinning around)

 there must be somewhere that cigarettes burn through the night
and the leaves don't abandon their trees to the light 

where the skies always clear and the summer never ends

as you're losing ground are you feeling stressed?

i'm cutting off my wings i don't deserve to fly 

what the hell have i done i almost let you die
i let you down my friend i failed you once again

but this time is way too close i can't save you
(i'm a fake) i'm entirely made out of plastic

(i'm a fake) i'll destroy almost anything delicate
(i'm a fake) make you think that everything's perfect now

(i'm a fake) i'm a fake i'm a fake and i've been found out

tick-tock sweat switch up the fingers the silly integer's always on vacation
i didn't think it was a bad idea i just couldn't figure out how to make the phone work
that said it was no different from the others except that this is now and that was then
and everything seems to repeat in a cyclical pattern i hum myself to misery 
and wish these words against my pillow i will try not to lose control 
hysteria hysteria it's happening again i fall apart i fall apart i'm back where i began
if it were anybody else but you i would not be afraid a total calamity the choices i have made

rip scripts slash burn up the courage that tiny yellow cat always on vacation
i wish I hadn't been so damn obscure i just try too hard for the perfect word score
can't stand it end up cursing out the cover a little chain and people restless like an effigy
damn you camera lack of emotion i'll swing my blades at everyone whack their heads and run for cover

hysteria hysteria it's happening again i fall apart i fall apart i'm back where i began

if it were anybody else but you i would not be afraid a total calamity the choices i have made
come help me figure it out come help me get it right this time around
if you can figure it out then you could help me loosen up get me off the ground
hysteria hysteria it's happening again. i fall apart i fall apart i'm back where i began
if it were anybody else but you i would not be afraid a total calamity the choices i have made
a total calamity the choices i have made a total calamity the choices i have made

this gloomy weather doesn't break it any break it anymore 

the sun abandoned us for blue skies somewhere

blue skies somewhere warm 

the world outside my window is scratching at my door

there's only stories of what life was like before 

board the windows up its cold as hell

it's cold as hell out there

light some candles need to shed some light

to shed some light in here

the streets are cold and damp the trees are dark and bare 

this dead season it seems to last right through the year

take me away where the skies aren't shades of grey 

baby let's make our escape to a place 

where we can wake to the sun again

let's leave it all behind us find a nice little island 

we can live like a story that ends like a fairytale

leave all of your possessions 

forget all that you thought you knew 

so we can live like a movie that ends like we want it to

been gone a long time i kinda lost my way i can't find it

and i caught a short ride to the grave and back this season

i can try to get by but every time i start to panic

i'm a little bit shy a bit strange and a little bit manic

on the narrowing line what a way to sort my troubles
in a very short time gonna pop better duck and cover
can you figure me out? i got caught like a little kid stealing
did i say it too loud? a bit hard or a little misleading

i went to a wishing well but sank to the ocean floor

cut up by sharpened rocks and washed up along the shore

i reached for a shooting star it burned a hole through my hand

made its way through my heart had fun in the promise land
