Betsy was on Cloud Nine when her dreamboat sank We all want that thing We all walk that plank and end up in the drink 360° no land in sight, 365 That ain't no kind of life To wake up in a bind Down in a pitch black hole we had everything pegged We had time to waste, until everything changed The canary never sang Something is going on and I think the death of me is just the death of me I try not to think about it I try not to drink about it You were on Cloud Nine when your dreamboat sank We all want that thing We all walk that plank and end up in the drink 360° no land in sight, 365 That ain't no kind of life Waking up in a bind Down in this pitch black hole we had everything pegged We had time to waste, until everything changed The canary never sang The canary never sang The canary never sang

A flawless re-entry How long should one float out in space Who wiped the smirk off Mona Lisa Who wiped the floor with me and walked away I saw my own entrails I tried to scale the pearly gates I took my things all out to sea side And one by one I started chucking them in As they all got carried away The water turned the rocks to sand And the things left in front of you make you take a knee and say There's no such thing as cold There's only far away from a heat source One guess what we're headed for A flawless re-entry Fiery return from your escape A failed attempt at being decent in everyone's eyes turned me into something nuisancing We all get carried away As the water turns rocks to sand And the things left in front of you make you take a knee and say There's no such thing as cold There's only far away from a heat source One guess what we're headed for You will strong I know You still believe, just not in me You will stay strong though

Your mom, she up and left Your dad's standoffish You had to feel like you were something so small You've got an army of men, your little finger Do we stand by and do nothing at all Hey let's get far away Standoff outlandish Scream bloody murder on the steps of what's it called There's an army in the way of middle fingers Do we stand by and do nothing at all What you hear, its all hearsay Cast by a namesake - can do you no harm Did you see the knife or who cut you open Who left you hoping for nothing at all We were onto something there For just a second where Whatever happened it was nothing at all I can't help not to care They're gonna stop and stare We're making something out of nothing at all What's all you hear is all just hearsay Thrown by some namesake Can do you no harm Let's get you inside Let's dust you off then Its not too often you'll sing us your song We were onto something there For just a second where Whatever happened it was nothing at all I can't help not to care They're gonna stop and stare For just a second I was nothing at all You were onto something there If I could find a care I'd find a reason for nothing at all I can't help not to care They're gonna stop and stare We're making something out of nothing at all

All together It's all I want Let's get you all cashed in Cold hibernation A quiet attention getter here It took a quite traumatic observation But now I I'm thinking that I can't be looking down all the time Wouldn't you agree It's such a tragedy that it's a beautiful setting Still gunning for us is blistering wind Wrong to believe we're worth our own weight Bones and heart Required attention getter right here Oh I Now I'm thinking that I can't be looking down all the time Wouldn't you agree It's such a tragedy but it's a beautiful setting Wouldn't you agree Wouldn't you agree The story's a tragedy but it's a beautiful setting Wouldn't you agree

What it is Is something about her Sunday morning Eyes on his I love you but boy you're so appalling What did I do Should I say I love you too We're leaving our hearts wide open So the words can find our lips To make them real And it remains the same Trunk of a tree With branches changing Placing no blame On the roots that fed your empty soul What could I do I can't make you love me too We're looking at the lives of old men Living all the do's And even the don'ts we live Are we all living our life preparing a deathbed Aren't we all a little sick of it all C'mon say what you wanna say Ooh la la We've got nothing more to give So tell the little children who come up proper The world won't grow til everybody knows it's here Stop time on the clock When it comes the time to fly We'll be up in the air Under the blue And the engine humming When the music stops We all drop We lived with our hearts wide open Living all the do's And even the don'ts we've lived And it remains the same Trunk of a tree with branches changing Placing no blame on the roots that fed your empty souls What can I do I can't wait 'round for love from you We're leaving our hearts wide open So the words can find our lips To make them real Are we all living a life preparing a deathbed Aren't we all a little sick of it all C'mon say what you wanna say Ooh la la We've got nothing more than this Give honorable mention to followed fathers The world won't go yet everybody knows it's here Looking at the lives of old men Living all the do's and Even the dont's I live

Get Real 03:16
Talk is cheap I love you so One of these days you'll stoop down to me You'll start seeing all I see And then we'll perpetuate this thing eternally I know how it feels I know you've got a long ways to go I know it sucks to get real Just know you're never far away from home A friend of mine comes to chat with me Did I say something that was off putting The elephant inside the room is only feeding fatter off of our taboo I know it's so deeply rooted in you Silence says there's a way out I know it's so weakening I do A quiet surge then simple sounds I know how it feels I know you've got a long ways to go I know it sucks to get real Just know you're never far away from home

I may be stuck like this for eternity Will there be anger inside you just as long Is it the solace of sadness I keep falling for Am I the sculptor of those things out to get me I used to be fine with it Somehow I had time for it I just wanna sing myself familiar songs So what if it's all the way to sleep We can live our life for Just Because So What has never bothered me Is it the solace of sadness I keep falling for I am the culprit No defense could ever save me I just assumed you'd be fine with it Until I see us all running out of time I just wanna sing myself familiar songs So what if it's all the way to sleep We can live if just for Just Because So What has never bothered me

Whose name do you hold by you How're you gonna find the truth You need a cold heart, cold hand To hold onto C'mon and name that face a different kind of the same You know I stayed this side of the loon bin just like a good boy should I never had it so good No, I never had it so good For whose sake do you hang onto How're you gonna show them proof In the back of the old church beat to death with a bible It's that lack of the old search We've gotta name our space Go on and hang your head in shame and shout Revival Go on and name my face I wanna be the same You know I stayed this side of the loon bin just like a good boy should I never stood right next to the winner before I never had it so good I never had it so good No, I never had it so good You know I stayed this side of the loon bin just like a good boy should I never stood so close during winter before I never had it so good I never had it so good No, I never had it so good All I know is nothing is for certain That's the only thing I'm certain of Try to think about, think about nothing That's the only thing I'm thinking of Try to think about, think about nothing That's the only thing I'm thinking of All I know is nothing is for certain That's the only thing I'm certain of Oh lord, bless this, thy hand-grenade Whose name Do you have on you How're you gonna find the truth Whose name Do you have on you How're you gonna find the truth Whose name do you have on you Whose name do you have on you

The four corners of my life and the universe both expanding I thought today if that might say we're both searching for a change Someday you'll learn to draw conclusions of your surroundings Touché, hell either way I've got no room to talk I'm just sayin What are your limitations when you don't believe in boundaries What's going on with the stars Is to be free just running stray I hope you learn how to draw some conclusions of your surroundings Today you lead the way There ain't no sense in me trying to soothsay I don't draw from your same well Contrary to some, look, I've upheld They won't care whose names you know What matters most, those few you hold I don't fear your same hell But yet anything I could be I did well They don't care whose names you know What matters most, those few you hold

Come On In 04:45
Through the veil there are ways to follow through I'll let you know when I can raise my head The hardest part for me was to find you Don't knock come on in If all the lonely hitchhikers stay true They'll come a day where they can wash their hands The hardest part ahead is behind you now Don't knock Come on in It's a surprise to me that we don't learn nothing 'bout where we've been The hardest part for me was to find you Don't knock Come on in All the lonely hitchhikers sing Yeah The hardest part ahead is behind you now Don't knock Come on in The hardest part for me is we don't learn nothing 'bout the things we've seen The hardest part for me was to find you Don't knock Come on in All the lonely hitchhikers sing Yeah The hardest part ahead is behind you Don't knock Come on in The hardest part for me is we don't learn nothing 'bout things we've been The hardest part for me was to find you Don't knock Come on in All the lonely hitchhikers sing Yeah The hardest part ahead is behind you now Don't knock Come on in

The happiness factor was a laughingstock after The last thing that you wanted was a heart that was growing cold But you left without an answer and your reasons in question The last thing that you saw before you started getting old We stood by And watched it all fall Like umbrellas under water I faced myself Faced my null principle To each their own Now we bathe in the light of the sun Naked as the day that we came Yeah we're turning everything back to one Bathe in the light of the sun Nothing ever happens it just splinter in fractions In true dramatic fashion it divided the heart and soul But we left without an answer and we had to go catch her The last thing that you are is now a story that was never told We sat down and cried in both arms Umbrellas under water I faced myself Faced my null principle To each their own Now we bathe in the light of the sun Naked as the day that we came We're turning everything back to one Bathe in the light of the sun Bathe in the light of the sun Naked as the day that we came We're turning everything back to one Bathe in the light of the sun
