Cars on fire driving down the road skeleton people coming out of their holes down the broken sidewalks cracked with grass to the liquor stores and the bars always crawling with rats but they ain't got no time no they ain't got no pearls If they could help themselves then they would rule the world and the haunted houses where the children play falling to pieces getting worse each day and the wounded women fall asleep on the couch where the tears pop from their eyes and flow down into their mouths and they wake up with a start, right before they drown with a sad souvenir from a life they never found but the pay is getting better every decade or so but you might want to wear a sweater because you know It's cold And on the other side the money's all in the bank cause it's easier to write a check than to pay for the finer things but not as fine as you think cause it's easier to write a check that to think but you can work your way up the ladder oh yeah, can't we all but there's a lot of fucking people Oh look, it's starting to fall And the crucifixion on the lawn of the church with some really nice cars and some cars that don't work and I am wondering what it is that you do you tell me I cant know god unless i go through you you tell us we cant save ourselves well you can go to hell and what comes next well, we don't know are we covered in fire or are we buried in gold I never ask the question I know the answer just isn't there so I just decided to believe so I don't have to care

My class sat still and remained silent restrained to our room yeah, we sat and we worked and we tested baby and then they gave us some food and we'd talk and we'd tale so careful quietly so as not to break their rules because the first amendment doesn't exist in school my class sat still and remained silent as screams came from the hall yeah, they sat and they worked and they listened baby to a man hit a child with a log and we'd laugh and we'd cry so careful quietly but never felt much at all let's call it what it is it's abuse it's ASSAULT and ask me another question C'mon ask me what's wrong? cause I'm happy and free now I'm happy and free now and I'm so glad I got out so happy and free now

You really don't have to call me again You really don't have to call me a friend I will find you a place In my sad little life I will follow your grief with my strife I really don't care what it sounds like I really don't care to make it sound alright I could call it down all the things that I've seen or I could cover everything in gasoline You really don't have to call me again You really don't have to fight with me to win Well maybe you're right This isn't all that there is or Maybe you're wrong But you still gotta give It's really ok, if you, just don't, love me It's really alright, yeah it's cool, don't try to believe 'Cause you can have all my love you can have it for cheap It comes at the cost Of gasoline Gasoline Gasoline Gasoline Gasoline

You said you'd turn it all around You said you'd burn it to the ground You said you'd turn it all around I don't mind if it takes a little time I don't mind if it takes a little time I don't mind if it takes a little time Anytime I don't mind I don't mind Anytime I don't mind I don't mind I don't mind if it takes a little bit I don't mind if it takes a little bit I don't mind if it takes a little bit Anything I don't mind I don't mind Anything I don't mind I don't mind I don't know why the earth keeps turning I don't know why the sun keeps burning the starlight falls like the leaf from a tree the starlight calls and it's coming to be You said you'd turn it all around You said you'd burn it to the ground You said you'd burn it to the ground You said you'd burn it to the ground

Tonight, it feels like there's hope in the air Tonight, the moon, it seemed like it really cared About me, oh my About me, oh my Tonight I'm so confused, I can't sleep Tonight my shoes feel like they're filled with concrete And I feel alone, yeah, I'm dying in here And I feel so cold, yeah, I'm dying right here And it was wrong and crossing lines But it's worth it at the time Yeah, it was wrong and crossing lines But it's worth it at the time Tonight, your eyes, they fly in spite When our wings touched You were a friend of mine How I felt so bad for you Yeah, I fell so bad for you Tonight the world grows for you Tonight, the stars, well they glow for you And I am just a part of the world you have made Yeah, I am just a part of the things you create That were wrong and crossing lines But it's worth it at the time Yeah, it was wrong and crossing lines But it's worth it every time

Open my eyes To see That I'm going blind Well, I just feel like lying In my bed forever Waiting in line Wasting my time With the dead and the blind For a bag of bottles Dropping a bomb Dropping a bomb I'm gonna win this war Ok, I'm fine Ok, now I'm fine And I don't feel like crying But I don't know what for Memory erased Memory erased With a smile on my face But I can't go home In the dark late at night Burning my eyes Giving my life To a box of light Waiting in line Wasting my time Waiting in line Wasting my time

When I get home You're always mad And I'm so tired Of feeling sad For us For the world For the rust And all the pearls While the weeks And the months And the years Just turn to dust And I almost forgot.... And how much time Can we spend Spinning around With our hearts Getting sick It's like a roller coaster Rolling off the tracks Like a Bucket Of a Ferris wheel Falling to a crash And I almost forgot That I love you And I almost forgot.... When we go out It's conditional To a table Where we speak In omissionals Prepared remarks Gathered up Through the week We talk about a lot of things But we never seem to speak And I almost forgot.... And how much time Do we have left Maybe make a child Or buy our second house We can save for the future We can tighten up our belts Save everything We don't throw away Everything but ourselves And I almost forgot That I love you Again I almost forgot That I love you again I almost forgot That I love You again I almost forget That I love you

You took that breath With everything you had And it was more than enough For another one For another one For another one For another one I remember the day When I brought you home And you decided to stay You could've ran away You could've ran away And I remember the nights When you would attack my fears From the edge of the bed While I fell asleep While I fell asleep You took that breath With everything you had Left But your face grew tired Cause you knew It's not enough For another one Yeah, you knew It's not enough For another one And then you're gone Far away But still Next to me Into another dream Into another dream

If you take a lot If you take it in But you can't remember Where you've been Down the trail Breadcrumbs inside your head That only leads to life That did not exist I remember everything I remember everything When you win the war And you come back home To a broken house Where everyone's broke So you take your pills Your Change, your hope But your heart is beating A little, too slow I remember everything I remember everything And time will pass you Like a ribbon of smoke Weighed by the words That you never spoke Buried beneath The shit you own A life lived less Than the dash Carved into stone I remember everything I remember everything

Hey little boy, don't you fly away from me cause you're so much stronger than I could ever be and some nights in my mirror I hear you scream and you plead yeah some nights in my mirror I still feel the fear and the pain calling my name laugh a little more, don't be such a fucking bore cause you got my future and I have so much in store and some nights when I'd wander I'd fall right into a dream and now some nights I still wonder how that dream came to be is it you or was it me fly away with me to the place that we have seen and we'll soar through the sky right beneath our burning wings and we'll crash into the sea like a stone through a mirror and we'll smash our own reflections and we'll see so much clearer we were always right here
