Call me crazy, but I like to think that everything'll turn out fine It's getting heavy and you can't see but everything will be alright Ten thousand babies will be holding hands and eighteen hundred dollars will be burned and never spent Only one bluebird will swallow up its pride and fly away It's not as bad as you'd like to make it Though I know you'll argue that You tell me I don't understand And maybe I really don't But I know there's more than one solution set in sight Call me crazy, but I like to think that everything'll be alright.

Someday I promise you, I'll change my point of view But til that day has come, I'll laugh at everyone You keep trying to shake me wake me, but my eyes are glued to the screen I can feel my IQ dropping, but it's worth another minute of this Doesn't anybody know? Doesn't anybody know? Save my heart from tragedy Save my lungs from gravity Save my brain from thinking too much Old McDonald Had A Farm, EEYAI EEYAI O-O-O-O-OH So just give me another minute, I swear I'll be back by then I've just gotta spill my heart out, I've gotta share what's in my head You keep screaming that no one cares... "Seriously, no one cares" ...and I know you're probably right, but I can't go out in this state, I can't go down without a fight.

Call me on my television I'll be drawing on the screen Some obscene and rectify them How do you spell common sense You cut a line and fold the rest You close your eyes and sanctify them Don't be afraid to take the fall Don't be afraid to lose it all Just count on an inverse reaction So maybe I care too much It's better than giving up to me am I the only one to figure You spoke in tongues and sprayed a little love and a lot of rage if you're the gun then I'm the trigger Don't be afraid to take the fall Don't be afraid to lose it all Just count on an inverse reaction But maybe it won't ever come Maybe my days are all done Maybe not I've just gotta try again I've just gotta try again

Candace was a girl who lived in the suburbs But one day she just couldn't take it anymore So when she was a toddler, she went right by her father Tied her shoes and ran outside the door She went to New York City, where the lights are pretty Well look out city, there's a Candace out on the town Candace found her way 'round Coney Island She got a job taking people onto tours But late one summer evening, the tourists were all screaming The city was under attack by a dinosaur She used her superpowers to defeat that monster Yeah, everybody loved her; the mayor gave her the keys to the city

I have an urgent fear of teenagers I watch my back for them; I'm paranoid A little coffee's what they're after I'm sinking in the chorus laughter Cause they're gonna bite into my ears, my ears Then they're gonna love on me with you, with you So have it your way, but don't expect for me to follow you blindly Their vapes dissolve into the atmosphere But they can't manage to end my fear

Food poisoning gets us all Whether you're really big or very small So make sure all your meat and eggs are cooked to order Or you'll sound like this [insert horrible bowel movement noises here]
7.
Excuse the world for its mass opinion I just wanted to drop by Turn off the light and kill the switchblade Cause if it was my fault, I'll cry Itch my skin off, I don't care Just try to do it gently Call me and I'll mark the X where you said you declared your love to me Even if it's no good, it's perfect to me So c'mon girl and show your face or I'll pull it off, I'll pull it off of you Take your time or they will find you.

Severed heads are floating thru the sky Laughing at the people passing by Take a while, give another clue Every eye it leaves except for you Insomnia Insomnia Insomnia Insomnia

Splendid Man 02:00
Living in the workshop, pumping out the larvae Making lots of money cutting off his artery Calmly baits his next wife, wanna live another life In the end it's her that's the fool He's a splendid man He's a splendid man He's a splendid man Taken back by youth He keeps his head held high All they really want is the truth And all he really wants is to die He's a splendid man He's a splendid man He's a splendid man
10.
I can't help you, I can't help you Cause you're too much for me, you're too much for everyone I can't save you, I can't save you Cause it's only a matter of time, you'll find out that you were fine this whole time

Why are you covered in cole slaw? I'm just trying to figure this puzzle out. It's been going for three long days, can't you feel it? Sometimes I wonder if we'll make it to the moon But can't you see I'm hungry and I'm tired Can't you see you're gonna go insane And I don't wanna see you die So put your ear up to the sky and sleep So can't we take another break? Isn't that what normal people do? We could go by my house, I have some snacks there. I'm just trying to lighten up the mood. But can't you see I'm hungry and I'm tired Can't you see you're gonna go insane And I don't wanna see you die So put your ear up to the sky and sleep So what can be done? The boosters aren't gonna run. Don't you yell at me, no I won't say I'm sorry. Then we both collapsed from exhaustion. Then we both collapsed from exhaustion.
