On That Day

There will be a day when everyone in this room
has stopped breathing.
And on that day, will you start believing?
When I woke this morning, I wasn’t in my head.
No, not even dreaming.
I was living in the moment and searching for meaning
(1, 2, 3, 4)
Oh, well throw your money in that wishing well, oh yeah
Pennies for praying
Oh, but here’s to hoping the monsters keep sleeping
Wipe your slate clean cause
you’ve got no regrets
All cause you believe in
Ah, but it’s too late for me ‘cause God damns all the heathens.
(Come on y’all, pray for me one more time, fuck it up)
Well, there’s truth in my bones
I can feel it in my skin, I feel it creeping
But the truth ain’t worth a dime ‘cause it won’t stop the bleeding
There will be a day when everyone in this room
Has stopped breathing
And on that day, will you stop believing?

Mind is rough
Dirt is clean
Skin is tough
But man isn’t mean
Sad for me to leave
But happy to see you go
So much to say,
But I’m too fucking bored.
God’s alive
Dad’s half dead
Black is white
Cause that’s what the fox said
Fappin’ to Kim
Do what kids do
Lose my mind
and grow up to be like you
I’m out on a Saturday night,
But I want to go back inside
You don’t have to tell me twice,
But what’s it like to be alive?
Too fat to die
And all I want is more.
Brad was bad
But now Mommy’s the whore
Going insane
Trying to feel the pain
So much to love,
But I’m too fucking bored

Well, I've got no plans for Friday night
So what you got in mind?
We'll hit the town and run around
See what we can find
Well, I've got some news for you
I don't care about you
I'm just a waste of time
Well, you've got to understand
I'm just doing what I can
As I hit the bottom rung on the way down
Oh, I've lost my mind and I've got no soul
But what you gonna do?
I'll sit around and stay awhile
Have a drink or two
Well, I've got some news for you
I don't care about you
I'm just a waste of time
Well, you've got to understand
I'm just doing what I can
As I hit the bottom rung on the way down
Well, I've got no plans for Friday night
So what you got in mind?
We'll hit the town and run around
See what we can find
Well, I've got some news for you
I don't care about you
I'm just a waste of time
Well, you've got to understand
I'm just doing what I can
As I hit the bottom rung on the way down

House and Home

It's been awhile since I rode this bike
but something tells me this ride's gonna be okay
New in town, but you seemed just fine
It's been two years since that sunny day
Let's see, see where this will go
This is the story of
how you make a house a home
It's wrong to say I've got you on my mind
When you're taking up my entire brain
And on our shelf, all the things we've combined
Memories and picture frames
Let's see, see where this will go
This is the story of
how you make a house a home
So many rooms, so many things to do
It's just me and you, and us making everything new
Because this is our house and home
Let's see, see where this will go
This is the story of
how you make a house a home

Set Me Straight
03:04

Told my doctor I'm a man
He told me I gotta get my mind off my disease
Told my father that I can't
He told me I should shrug it off and fight my misery
Somebody set me straight
How can I be so mad when I already have everything?
I gotta set me straight
How can I be so sad when I'll never know tragedy?
Told the martyr I'm a fan
He told me I gotta see the forest for the trees
Asked the beggar what it meant
He told me I got it wrong and got down on his knees
Somebody set me straight
How can I ease my mind when I'll never know anything?
I gotta set me straight
Cause I get to ease my mind and bathe in all of my apathy
Told my preacher I'm a man
He told me I gotta get out and practice what I preach
Asked the sinner how he lives
He told me I should hunker down and keep just out of reach

I don't know the names of the notes
of the songs that I'm singing.
I've been told they come from the throat
but my ears are still ringing
So I'll sit here and bathe in my songs
as I stare into the sun.
And I won't admit that I'm wrong
Cause I'm not the only one.
Pick me up with alcohol
and calm me down with tea
Light me up a cigarette
just for the novelty
This drink isn't terribly strong
and I'm coughing up my lungs.
But I won't admit that I'm wrong
Cause I'm not the only one.
I can't stand a talking head,
but this armchair's so much fun.
I'll be here 'til I drop dead,
or until I hurt someone.
If you want to come along and
make a fool of everyone,
you can't admit that you're wrong,
and you're not the only one.

Jester
03:49

To a king and a queen
There’s nothing in between
The peons lie and hunker down
As their world turns upside down
The smiles and the pleas
Hold nothing to disease
But I’ll still dance when they call
For I’m the jester of the hall
I’m here to take your mind off things
Dance while you enjoy your meal
There is no wound I cannot heal
I shut my mouth
I close my eyes
While I leave your minds so hypnotized
And it’s the most you’ll ever feel
Well I get it, that’s part of the deal
To a king and a queen
There’s nothing in between
The peons lie and hunker down
As their world turns upside down
The smiles and the pleas
Hold nothing to disease
But I’ll still dance when they call
For I’m the jester of the hall
Dance all night
'Cause when the feeling’s right
The man will try to pull you down
And we don’t disrespect the crown
I shut my mouth
I rub my eyes
While I try to parse out all your lies
How did this become so real?
I guess it’s the art of the deal
To a king and a queen
There’s nothing in between
The peons lie and hunker down
As their world turns upside down
The smiles and the pleas
Hold nothing to disease
But I’ll still dance when they call
For I’m the jester of the hall

Turn

Why do you ask me, "Why?"
Is it for the children?
Or are you filled with hatred?
Who do you hold onto?
Is it complicated
Or do you feel elated?
Would you turn back time
Would you turn back time
Would you turn back time
But not for you?
Where do you get your air?
Is it bottled up inside
With your mind and sense of pride?
Would you turn back time
Would you turn back time
Would you turn back time
But not for you?
Now, do you see it now?
The farther that you fall behind,
You're more inclined to be unkind.
Would you turn back time
Would you turn back time
Would you turn back time
But not for you?
Would you turn back time
Would you turn back time
Would you turn back time
But not for you?
Why, for the second time,
would you choose the children
when you could have your hatred?
Would you turn back time
Would you turn back time
Would you turn back time
But not for you?

Down in the valley
Under the trees
I set a fire
Lost to the breeze
Well I tried
Yes I tried
But I'm tired
Don't give it meaning
Just let it rain
Right through the ceiling
To douse the flames
Well I tried
Yes i tried
But I'm tired
Say that I'm sorry
Except the blame
Another story
Right down the drain
Well I tried
Yes I tried
But I'm tired
Another reason
That sounds the same
Another season
Just out of frame
Well I tried
Yes I tried
But I'm tired
