Inject

Can we inject a bit more crazy
into our everyday lives
I’m beginning to suspect that all of mine was just a lie
I don’t want to learn a single thing about the ideas I sprung from
Because all that they will teach me is I’m gullible and dumb
And I’m terrified to realize that
those marks there on your neck
Truly are the reason that I’ve become so upset
There was once a healthy young man
in this form I occupy
what reality conspired
to make him up and die
Can we inject a grand solution
into our horrible fate
I feel like the white rabbit in that
I’m always running late
I don’t want to be in traffic in the back of my last hearse
Because I’ve heard that from that point it can only get much worse
And I’m terrified to realize that
those marks there on your neck
Truly are the reason that I’ve become so upset
There was once a healthy young man
in this form I occupy
what reality conspired
to make him up and die
Can we create a better future in between all of these lies
I’m beginning to dream of a past before we connected our eyes
This song is bound to reach an end, and only talked about my fears,
And I fear that you’ll still listen in ten or twenty years.
Please tell me you will burn this
never come back to these songs
it has become all to clear
you're why they came out wrong
There was no healthy young man in this form I occupy
what reality inspired me to make him up to die?
Can we inject a bit more crazy
into our everyday lives
I’m beginning to suspect that all of mine was just a lie
I have already learned far too much about the ideas I sprung from
Because all that they have taught me is I’m gullible and dumb but just for you.

Cask-It
02:30

My body is a casket, I was buried out at sea,
look through my disguise with sapphire eyes,
a wooden box is all you’ll see.
There are nails in my top and I've been glued into place.
Won't you light me on fire so I can go down in grace?
We’ve all been buried once or twice.
We all don’t come out very nice.
It’s a watery bed
but that’s where I’ll stay
Cause when the box hits the tide,
we’ll all come to play.
I’m done wasting my nights in a box.
I’m over joking and playing games.
I’m through getting back into that coffin waiting for the next day to feel the same.
and I’ll spend hours in the dark
waiting for a spark,
hoping that they’ll set my bed alight.
But that fire never comes,
and I’m too young and dumb to just see past the hope of mild light.
because...
My body is a casket, I was buried out at sea,
look through my disguise with sapphire eyes,
a wooden box is all you’ll see.
There are nails in my top
and I've been glued into place,
won't you light me on fire so I can go out in grace?
It’s the hope of life vest resting on my casket
that drives me to jump from my ship crashing yes
to the sharks below
into the night we’ll go, trying hard or hardly trying to become the kids our parents were wanting just to know.
Don’t be them!
Be The one you want no matter if “it depends”
Show off your odds and ends without a thought that might suspend because that’s the sadder trend than a box for a bed with a messed up head, so just be the casket floating on the water and please simply sing.
please simply sing
please sing with me
My body is a casket, I was buried out at sea,
look through my disguise with sapphire eyes,
a wooden box is all you’ll see.
There are nails in my top and I've been glued into place.
Won't you light me on fire so I can go down in grace?

Fifteen to One
02:50
|
|||
I didn’t wake up this morning, but I fell asleep last night
Laying here I can’t start walking something just doesn’t feel right.
I hope that ambulance isn’t for me,
cuz last night I finally felt free
But I think freedom might for one night, might have just cost me my life.
Yeah
I hope I’m not dead,
because the song I hear stuck in my head
is one of funerals and laughter at my grave.
Oh,
I guess I might be deceased
Just when I felt unique
I join a club
that outnumbers the living fifteen to one.
This is the kind of thing I hear happen all the time.
Every 1.8 seconds, there’s a new soul standing in line.
Oh, but how did I get here,
and how can I leave?
Cause I can tell off those gates it’s more life time that I need.
Yeah
I hope I’m not dead,
because the song I hear stuck in my head
is one of funerals and laughter at my grave.
Oh,
I guess I might be deceased
Just when I felt unique
I join a club
that outnumbers the living fifteen to one.
I’m
standing at the door to the place downstairs
and I
can’t help but see I finally care
I’m
not ready to sit and face my regrets
and I
understand you have to live and let
die
Yeah
I hope I’m not dead,
because the song I hear stuck in my head
is one of funerals and laughter at my grave.
Oh,
I guess I might be deceased
Just when I felt unique
I join a club
that outnumbers the living fifteen to one.

Panic Attacks
01:48
|

The world of pain ended
when I looked into her eyes.
Sirens call me back
while the world wants me down to size.
Many a boy’s been broken by “I just can’t.”
but I snap the sirens back as I shout
“I don’t relent!”
Just stay
with me
hold it in,
don’t snap.
Now let it out in one big panic attack
We backtrack look forward to it
cause I see you again
It’s better than when we first met;
I have a chance to win
Sometimes I go crazy and I just can’t stop looking back,
but here’s to us and no more panic attacks.
But here’s to us and no more panic attacks.
Read a book that told me fairy tales are history
Didn’t like it so I picked up a mystery
It’s about a couple kids who just won’t try looking back
And the title was No More Panic Attacks
We backtrack look forward to it
cause I see you again
It’s better than when we first met;
I have a chance to win
Sometimes I go crazy and I just can’t stop looking back,
but here’s to us and no more panic attacks.
But here’s to us and no more panic attacks.
Just stay
with me
hold it in,
don’t snap.
Oh please don’t have another panic attack.

Oh, What Could've Been

Away out here they've got a name
For rain and wind and fire
The rain is Tess,
The fire's Joe
And they call the wind Maria
Maria blows the stars around
Sets the clouds a-flyin'
Maria makes
The mountains sound like folks was out there dyin'
Maria
Maria
They call
The wind
Maria
Before I knew
Maria's name
And heard her wail and whinin'
I had a gal
And she had me
And the sun
Was always shinin'
But then one day
I left my gal
I left her far behind me
And now I'm lost,
So gol' darn lost
Not even God
Can find me
Maria
Maria
They call
The wind
Maria
Out here they have a name for rain
And wind and fire only
When you're lost and all alone,
There ain't no name for lonely
I am a lost and lonely man
Without a star to guide me
Maria blow my love to me
I need my gal beside me
