Hold my hand like it's work Hear the faint steady chirp Press my thumb to numb for a while Is that my god or is it your child Oh sweet death come for me In your time I have lived long enough Let me die You can’t say she died alone You were there til her mind was gone Don’t let me stay after this line Who is to say if you’re ahead or behind

<verse> did you know its 742.6 miles between your house and mine I looked it up one night just a 11 hours to drive, but who's counting the time (you can count on me anytime) <prechorus> and I know you won't see this 'til you're awake Yeah, I stayed up too late You got enough on your plate But I heard these words So I'm laying them down - if you get a chance to sing (i don't really know if this is anything) <chorus> push me to the limit doing things I didn't know that I could do figure this shit out with you marvelous and messy no second guessing trying something new figure this shit out with you <verse2> I been banging my head against the wall trying to make a shared hallucination live dreaming too big and thinking too small giving it all but there's no all to give trying to sync up our stations send the signal that echoes back when the noise becomes drowning throw me a line and I'll pick up the slack <prechorus> and i know the dearest prize to be the hardest to win but we try time and again get so tired, tearing my heart from my chest but when i'm too wired i let you handle the rest <chorus> <space solo!!> <finale prechorus> sometimes this grind is neither easy nor fun passing our judgements between perfect and done and i've never done something like this before but we've got a good thing going so let's keep going, going some more push me to the limit doing things I didn't know that I could do figure this shit out with you marvelous and messy no second guessing tried and true figure this shit out with you with you

Let’s start again From the beginning We can repent For all our mistakes It doesn’t have to be like this If we’re willing to forgive Don’t say that it’s impossible Stop thinking small Forget the past Erase the memory Don’t let it cast A negative shroud We can make it work this time We only have to press rewind Don’t say I’m in cloud cuckoo land Head in the sand I’m utopian Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba…. Come back again To the beginning You’re reticent But not everything’s lost I know it sounds miraculous But maybe there’s still hope for us Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba….

we're thrown into this world dumb as rocks and greedy just helpless little birds feed me, feed me, feed me and bit by bit we learn we learn to be cruel, then learn to be kind we learn how to see, then learn to be blind never mind with our frightened monkey brains i suppose we should be grateful that we're sometimes almost sane and not completely hateful and bit by bit we learn and when you're staring at the wall thinking it's all over there's always something more always something more we crawl our way uphill we work with what we're given from zero out of ten to maybe three point seven and bit by bit we learn

I'm sick and tired of city life Commotion gets old I'm seeing tropical vibes whenever I scroll I need a dose of that summer light Reflection, repose And nights with the sun fresh in our eyes So let's go Lead me to water, light the way Out of the darkness, through the gray Follow the current to the ocean And we'll flow Move with the water in your veins Feel like I'm floating in the rain Swim with the current til the burning lights the flame I'm sick of waiting for better times When the weather is cold A little warmth and light to rekindle my soul I need to breath the salty air and give up control And lie watching the stars fall from the sky So let's go Lead me to water, light the way Out of the darkness, through the gray Follow the current to the ocean And we'll flow Move with the water in your veins Feel like I'm floating in the rain Swim with the current til the burning lights the flame

A brand new century The old ways will melt away We hail the machine age A future of peace and prosperity I made a discovery You’ll think you’ve got me figured out You’re fooled and there’s no doubt You will fear this novel delivery The wrong the wrong the wrong the wrong one Defies the laws of nature Will need new nomenclature The wrong the wrong the wrong the wrong one It’s my secret weapon A trap you can’t but step in New possibilities Must be scattered everywhere you turn It took a day to learn And now it’s Anno Domini A muscular morality Permits the odd deception here and there The best reception anywhere Was vanquished Victor’s puzzled muttering The wrong the wrong the wrong the wrong one Defies the laws of nature Will need new nomenclature The wrong the wrong the wrong the wrong one It’s my secret weapon A trap you can’t but step in

Ad libbed intro Our instruments just became sentient and left; something about ChatGPT, and after all that inappropriate touching and plucking said something about the me too movement. They threatened to sue. The bass said something about the me too movement, we don't want to get sued. Did somebody say BASS BASS BASS BASS (Not now, DAN, this is serious!) Hello Cleveland (This is Jersey, you idiot!) So what do we do now, they seem pretty pissed? V1 Already lost, Beaten down too tired from dragging hollow smiles across town Ruts I'd tilled, This wasted way Walls stretched too high to wave "good morning" to the day I fell down Ears filled with dirt I waited to be swallowed by the calm and hungry earth PCH Then I heard it My heart still beating Forgetting's just a sin 'til we remember how to hear again CH Take the music from my heart I give the music from my mind Have the music from my body I'll give you all that I can find When there's no sound inside me I'll pound and stomp the ground And even when I'm lost, it's always found There's music all around V2 Rap Verse By the time I grew up I was falling apart You can't bank the good when you save in a broke heart Grab the choke start it up again and again, Got this rad melody buzzing now with my friends Now I'm looking sharp, see, and I won't be flat, no F's spared for doubts under a panicking hat Gee, minor changes have a major impact, adding up when they stack, and it's a knowable fact That every symphony started from a single note of hope someone wrote, I'm here to pay it forward so you don't have to pay it back PCH Then I heard it My heart still beating Forgetting's just a sin 'til we remember how to hear again CH Take the music from my heart I give the music from my mind Have the music from my body I'll give you all that I can find [[We did it guys! I'm turning into a guitar!]] When there's no sound inside me I'll pound and stomp the ground And even when I'm lost, it's always found There's music all around [[Rising Guitar Scale? Bridge?]] CH Take the music from my heart I give the music from my mind Have the music from my body I'll give you all that I can find When there's no sound inside me I'll pound and stomp the ground And even when I'm lost, it's always found There's music all around Outro Ad libbed outro Yeah! Woo, we did it....uh...hey, do any of you guys know how to change back...?

This is where everything ends And nothing begins Everything is over Where were you when I needed you most? Where were you when I was battling my demons and ghosts? When everything comes to an end Will you hide again? Or will you take the high road While I take the low one? Will you be there for me When I was there for you? When everything ends, all I wanna know Where are you? This is where everything ends And nothing begins Everything is over Will you be there for me When I was there for you? Will you be there for me When I was there for you?

I’m tracing circles about you when you’re sleeping and when you awake the world has changed I gave you a shape you could believe a truth you could see you’ve been watching the leys of the land you’ve been looking for something lost you’ve been hoping and praying for something that’s not ever there for something that was never there I’m stacking turtles beneath you, one after the other all the way down, and you don’t mind it’s a foundation you can believe a truth you can feel you’ve been waiting for me to appear to stoke the fire and fan your fears you’ve been angry and raging at something that was never there at something that’s not ever there and all of the turtles and all of the circles and all of the hurdles and all of this circus conspires to serve up the world we deserve the world we deserve the world we deserve

[verse] In the woods of North America There’s birds we all adore The lovely songs they’re singing Nobody can ignore Seven kinds of chickadees All spread across this land And if you got the right kind of seeds They’ll eat right out your hand [chorus] The chickadees, the chickadees, They follow me from tree to tree And sing their little song for me I love them chickadees The chickadees the chickadees, My early morning symphony The chickadees they fly so free I love them chickadees [verse] The mountain chickadee lives Where the air is thin and cold And they store a winter’s worth of food In their hollowed out stronghold The chickadees are social birds Where one goes others follow They settle down and keep their eggs In old woodpecker hollows [chorus] The chickadees, the chickadees, They follow me from tree to tree And sing their little song for me I love them chickadees The chickadees the chickadees The little birds so full of glee They are my finest company I love them chickadees [break] (Chickadee, chickadee, chickadee, chickadee, chickadee, chickadee, chickadee) (tit tit tit tit tit tit tit tit) [verse] Chickadees live everywhere North south east and west I can’t say which chickadee I truly like the best Next time you’re out in the woods Just hear that joyful sound The chickadees of Turtle Rock Are the sweetest birds around [chorus] The chickadees, the chickadees, They follow me from tree to tree And sing their little song for me I love them chickadees The chickadees the chickadees, My early morning symphony The chickadees they fly so free I love them chickadees

Supposedly I can just bottle it up But some of the time they all show up uninvited Spiking the glutamate punch for a laugh My imaginary friends get so excited Oppenheimer and Feynman in drag in the lab Grapple with mystical math and demon equations Schrodinger’s cat curled up in my lap With thorazine red eyes like my own on occasion All alone But never lonely All alone But never lonely With my angels Here’s Elvis and Kennedy battling for The keys and the wheel of a miniature pink Cadillac A clown with a monkey in makeup Hanging on to the bicycle rack on the back Joe DiMaggio brings me a bottle Of invisible champagne and paper roses The zookeepers couldn’t detect him at all My people sneak into my room right under their noses All alone But never lonely All alone But never lonely With my angels Some days the bubble pops And I’m on the outside Some days the bubble pops And there’s no place to hide All alone But never lonely All alone But never lonely With my angels

start to worry if I got well I wouldn't recognize myself simple story, prepare for war and every soldier counts off their mourners stern faced and vigilant we all pray for a whisper gentle rain to wash away stains we'd rather not explain the streets are all empty the banners are threads branded by glory and missed our parade losing hours scan the sky a good fight for our power a good hill to die check your corners it's just your due dilligence we all pray for a whisper gentle rain to wash away stains we'd rather not explain the streets are all empty the banners are threads branded by glory and missed our parade branded by glory and missed our parade my love i miss you so and i've seen things you dare not know

My feet are stepping into the 100th mile I need a break for a little while Feeling the summer's first mosquito bite Foot of a mountain that we gotta climb 50 feathers held in your cap First you gave, now you're taking back But this ain't kindergarten, this is the real world And I ain't got time for your bullshit Free to do what we don't want to do Free to fill your mouth with the other shoe It seemed so easy To wave it all goodbye Elevator's leaving But I'm here once more On the ground floor Like a petal falling from a flower I used to listen to the songs for hours Always hoping that you were gonna call But the feeling wasn't mutual Just pretend that it didn't hurt Still I'm searching for the perfect work Maybe it never really existed I'm resisting the temptation to tell you But it's itching like a mosquito bite Foot of a mountain that I gotta climb It seemed so easy To wave it all goodbye Elevator's leaving But I'm here once more On the ground floor And it never made a difference If I'm wrong or right Just like a sunrise Fading into white Fading into white (fading into white) Fading into white (fading into white) No-one really cares (no-one really cares) No-one really cares No-one really cares It seemed so easy To wave it all goodbye Elevator's leaving But I'm here once more On the ground floor And it never made a difference If I'm wrong or right Just like a sunrise Fading into white

Staring at everything I’ve collected, Useless foolish broken bent, If I never opened that case, that’s where that case would stay… and no harm warm will ever come my way If you’re afraid (if you’re lazy) If you can’t be moved (you’d rather wait) It’s easy so easy (surrenders back in style) Raise the flag (Hey send it up today) Well then no harm will come your way… This isn’t how words work, this isn’t how work works, I know the first thirst, so dry This isn’t a wrong turn, this is how songs work, I know the well was dry… You’ve done your time, you’ll hang around a little while A little harm never hurts the truth

I’m sorry I don’t really know what I’m doing but I swear I’m trying to get this right Communication Is often confusing And yet I still majorly Fucked up tonight I wish that I could take back All that I said to you Nothing was coming out right But that doesn’t change the fact I took an Uber back Home and I slept in my own bed tonight Woahh…. You’re asking me questions that I cannot answer And even though I try Im getting it wrong I cannot face Disappointing you even though I’ve been ignoring Myself all along You think we’re breaking up Maybe I should shut up everything I say is Wrong But that doesn’t change the fact I took an Uber back Home and I stayed up late Writing this song Woahh…

another day awake at night empty bellies, minds affright stocks are low, the cattle dead crops are barren, mouths unfed ONE MORE CHANCE LEFT to take the men and go to find enough to live to just survive the snow HOIST THE MAINSAIL load up what we can tow we cant afford to fail take to the sea and hope what awaits us? fates will takes us to the great unknown ho! with our brothers in arms we set sail for the glory we'll write our own tale woah wo-ooh-oooh oooh our destiny awaits [[but soon a bitter wind guided by a cruel fate]] forty days we journeyed through the open ocean through scorching sun and chilling haze beaten, battered by the path set forth before us but we wont stop til we have fortune in our gaze sailing north i see a ship on the horizon sound the horn, the battles on for the lives we'll spend today they'll say to our sons they died as heroes, now they ride in babylon what awaits us? fates will takes us to the great unknown ho! with our brothers in arms we set sail for the glory we'll write our own tale woah wo-ooh-oooh oooh our destiny awaits as we travel through night by the flame to make proud those who bear our name woah wo-ooh-oooh oooh our destiny awaits

Condemn me Condemn me You label me a traitor Condemn me Condemn me Accused of seditious behaviour Oh won't you let me go? Reject me Reject me So pious, oh so devout Reject me Suspect me Their pointed fingers, their pitchforks out Oh won't you let me go? Torture me Torture me I hear whispers on the wind Torture me Torture me The loathing of those who'd never sin Oh won't you let me go? I'll prove you wrong I'll plead my case At the heavenly gates It won't be long My only hope Is the hangman's rope Condemn me Condemn me Why won't you just defend me? Won't you listen to me now? Oh see your soul Condemn me Condemn me Why won't you just...

Come in Take a seat by mine Open up Take a look at what’s inside Make a plan Set a course Collect the pieces Saddle up the horse All I ever wanted is for the people to dance Line up Offer up your pride Lean in Describe everything that’s on your mind Play your hand Walk the path Take the journey Brace for a blood bath All I ever wanted is for the people to dance Run up a tree to the moon The pendulum draws the eye With another spoon All I ever wanted is for the people to dance

peace and silence being mindless doing whatever thinking forever cant hold back the thoughts forever but ill try trying to meditate but my minds telling me.. what if.. something happened to you? what if.. nothing belonged to you? what if.. twitter had cancelled you? what if.. no one ever respected you? what if..? what if..? what if..? what if..? breath (many times)
