You woke up alone
It was dark outside your window
You remember what she told you
But it all set in so slow
To choke on your lead
To react but not to read
The room where we've been waiting
To express our sympathy
You learned your lesson, now you'll try to forget it
It's gonna hurt, but not enough to regret it
A part of you is gone
Things will be different from now on
And you might like to think that it's okay to look away
When you realize that you made a mistake
But there are bitter pills we have to take
And don't believe in everything you read, cuz here with me
You built a tower on uncertainty
And a year from now we don't know where we'll be
I woke up alone
In a world I thought I'd known
I guess I missed the memo
That you never can go home
A swing and a miss
Was it really worth the risk?
We'll have to wait a lifetime
For another day like this
Don't let them tell you it's already over
Don't sell your soul for a four-leaf clover
We'll carry you along
Things will be different from now on

Already Dead [Dan]
03:46

Criss crossed eyes, criss crossed eyes
The train is off its tracks
Balloon soars high, balloon soars high
The train’s not turning back
Can’t blow out the flame
Can’t jump out, reach ground
Clipped wings too late
My fate has already floated
Away
Way too high, way too high
Leave the atmosphere
Loosing sight, loosing sight
Running out of air
Can’t look down the same
Spinning in my head
Don’t anticipate
My fate is that I’m already
Dead
I’m burning up inside
I’m burning up inside
I’m burning up inside
But It’s alright

I never thought of us as friends in the usual
WAY back when we would hang out at your parents' old
GRAVE situations never seemed to affect our
STYLE, there was nobody around for MILES
RUN down the middle of the road, never looking both
WAYS to avoid problems, there were many many
GREAT ideas, they were rare, but the came from with-
INtuition paying out the big dividENDS
PUT on a smile yesterday, now i can't get it
OFF to bed early, paranoid of a little
COFFin offers me a rest, think i gotta de-
CLINE, not loitering, standing in LINE
LOOK OUT for the locomotive standing there perfectly
STILL you persist even after you have been
KILLED our masters, never coming back from
THIS is your life, stare into the abyss
& the abyss stares back, the abyss stares back
everyone is ugly when you look at their
FACE the music, brighten up the
PLACE your bets, people, i ain't gonna say it
TWICE the meat for half the
PRICE isn't something that i'm willing to
PAY attention, this is gonna be
GREAT grandfather and he's filling up the
TAPped out and i never wanna come
BACK to the rhythm, back to the
PLACE where i think i might've made a mis-
TAKE what you want, i am never gonna
DIE so easily, i don't even
TRY psychotherapy, a guarenteed
WINdows open and the boys are coming
INstead of crying why don't you spit it
OUT, damn spot, whatcha wanna talk about?
whatcha wanna talk about?
WALK around taking in the
SIGHTSeeing people travel
LIGHT pours in from every-
WHERE is all you beautiful
HARrowing visions of the
PASsed out, coming in
LAST one out shut the
DOOR HINGE doesn't rhyme with
ORANGE hanging from a
TREason on the high
SEASons changing in a
BLURry vision of the an-
SIR, do you take your coffee
BLACK hole, universal
SNACK time, chomping on a
PAIR of people, everybody stare
if there's a pair of people, people gonna stare
NEVer gonna
STOP and take
STOCK market
CRASHing through the
GLASSy eyed
LOOKing like a
CROOKed old
MAN made is-
LANDing on the
MOON is coming
SOONer count the
STARS above the
MARtial arts
CLASSic psycho-
PATH to the
TOWN is coming DOWN
ONE for the money, two from the show
SHOW me the money and i'll never let go

I feel warm summer air blow through my hair
The smooth blades of green grass in the meadow that we share
I see colors of the sun setting in the sky
As the world welcomes dusk, I’m so glad to be alive
I see leaves of red floating to the ground
As the seasons change and the world spins round
I feel crisp autumn wind as I breathe in
I hear the shimmer of wind chimes, I’m so glad to be alive
Falling clouds chill my skin
rising fire draws me -
In love I am
With the world
My free land
I see where new dew lies vibrant flowers bloom
Mother Earth gives new life, then grows up too soon
I hear the song of the birds sing their lullaby
As the day makes way for the night, I’m so glad to be alive
In love I could be
With the world
If it loved me
