Hey now, you want to escape from the real world
There's a place off the map we can go
Beyond “here there be dragons” there's a sacred space
No news, we can escape and lay low
For a minute, for a moment
For a minute, for a moment we just wanna see stars
Shining through the dark
Shining through the dark
Hey now, you want to escape from the real world
There's a place that I know we can go
No phones, no TV, turn off the radio
No news, we can escape and lay low
Say a prayer for ourselves
To the goddess of mental health (please hear us)

Down with You

|
There's a train wreck coming, you can hear it around the bend
You can smell it in the air, you can feel it in the sand
There are places in the desert where someone made a grave
I guess we better stop digging if we wanna be saved
If the sun is going down, it's going down with you
If the sun is going down, I’m going down with you
They'll say they never saw it coming, 'cause they didn't read the signs
And they kept the blinders on until the cars collided
Now it’s ashes and cinder in a plume to the sky
I guess we better stop breathing if we wanna survive
If the sun is going down, it's going down with you
If the sun is going down, I’m going down with you
Down with you
Down with you (when the sky is looking up...)
Nothing ever comes from nothing
And nothing ever could

Pretending to Care

Pretending to care, vacant stare, an empty suit
Full of empty air
Pretending I’m there when I’m a million miles away
Stuck in a day-dream, just pretending to care
Floating through space
Focused on a point behind your face
A million miles away
Just enjoying a daydream
Pretending to care while thinking of a joke I heard last night
Watching TV shows
Pretending I’m there, curling my lips into a smile
I can hold it awhile, I am pretending to care
You might think this act is rude
But fake news sells much better than the truth
So next time you want to know
What I’m thinking when I’m thinking it
Just think it through

Bleeding Hearts

I am my mother's son
I win the words but come undone
It's a wreck by a thousand cuts
Empty pockets, full of air
Empty headed, I lie when I say I don't care
And I don't care
And we've all had bleeding hearts for something
We’re all just bleeding out for something else
We are trouble
We are a puzzle
We are a Rubik’s cube and life is just a bubble
Waste of pixels, waste of paint
Bite your tongue and contemplate
It’s a wreck by a thousand shakes
And we've all had bleeding hearts for something
We’re all just bleeding out for something
We’re all just bleeding out for something
We’re all just bleeding out for something else
Has our blood turned frozen?
We left a door open, now the cold is slipping in
Have once warm hands turned to ice?
You know, I don't think I know you when you're like this

Ghost Town

This is a ghost town
And I got the skeleton key
I'm the man of the hour
Finally getting into everything
You got books to read
I got songs to sing
Got no one to tell us
We won't amount to anything
This is a ghost town
This is our town

Had a dream that we were architects with our blueprints all a maze
We'll never know what we are building from the cradle to the grave
For a minute, for a moment
For a minute, for a moment we just wanna see...

Buyer Beware
06:12
|

Every time I close my eyes, I think of you
I got a brain the size of Rhode Island
‘Cause I can’t think when someone's smiling
She's got a smile like Saddam Hussein
Always hiding something in a guarded frame
I do my level best to keep a level mind
I do my best to keep these thoughts inside
Have I been talking to a vacant stare?
Have I been singing to a dirty mirror?
Do we even know if we don’t care
We don't care?
Buyer beware
I’ve got a problem and I'm in distress
It's so bad I'm just a marionette
She’s got a laugh like Kim Jong Un
Just a little cracked, yeah, a little out of tune
Every time I close my eyes, I think of you
