lyrics

A good joke but nobody got the punch line
One at a time, single filing in the lunch line
Punch your card to get a star upon your crossed heart
Life is not now; this is just the lost part
Suck it in when the ladies walk by
Because you never know when your gonna bleed the child
Because it’s never very far to the next exile
And you never got far when you bled it on file
All the while, people fall off the dark side
Tough break kid, better luck next time
Except next time, you’d better bring your best try
Because we don’t forgive until the next life
Less crying never brought an edge to my knife
Lets try and see if we can place our bets right
All’s right, for now we can put it out of mind
Easy said now it’s eating me from behind

Let’s not stress this now
I’m happier without it
If the sky falls down,
I’ll live without it
There’s a better me on the other side
I can see it now and it feels so right

Long life never said much for found time
Short walks are the long run for small minds
Even one small step for mankind
Would be a lot better than in present times
Presenting all the world’s finds in a slim bind
Hold it hard in your hand and draw fine lines
I will draw a dark line for you to all find
Ink’s the drink like fine wine to your aligned mind
Let it go like you never knew the recourse
Breathe it out and lock all of the doors
Because you never faced your own end before
But now you’ve seen it’s face and you’re left wanting more
Perceiving is believing with your skin on the floor
I merely wanted more. They said I wanted war
I want to warn the world what’s in store
But the world don’t wanna know, so what would I do that for?
