Dreams aren't promises,
They follow streams of consciousness that I can't complete,
I've been all by myself,
And i know it' my fault,
I'd truly like to care but,
I can't find it anywhere
Oh where'd you leave your ticket boy?
You know you can't get inside without it
It's gonna' be pretty hard goin' back to where you were before,
How many steps will it take?
How many steps can you fake?
I felt the sun shining over my face,
But you told me, yeah you told me about the world
You warned me, you warned me about the world
But here it comes again, already comin' again,
It went from bad to worse, can't even find the words
'Cause where'd you leave your ticket boy?
You know you can't get inside without it
It's gonna' be pretty hard goin' back to where you were before,
How many steps will it take?
Do it for your brother's sake

Get that diploma, get in a coma,
Have her call you, get an offer,
Take the metro, it could kill ya,
Play piano, see your mother,
Wait for more, wait for more
Can I wait for more?
I never could be sure,
What the reasons were,
Will you find them again?
Was it just a chore?
Type the words in, see your fortune,
Climb a ladder, end up sadder,
Get in a coffin, tell em' it's nothin',
Focus on bourbon and try to wait
Wait for more, just tryin' to wait for more
Can I wait for more?
'Cause I never could be sure,
What the reasons were,
Will you find them again?
Was I just a chore?

Slacker rock boy tried his best but that was not enough,
'Cause the world's not nice,
He says stayin' here could probably end his life
'Cause he's been lazy, but you know he tries his best
He's been crazy, but you know it's all a test
And now don't say
That I should be ashamed
'Cause no, you don't know me
Just relax
'Cause it won't be the same
When no, you don't know me
Ignorant boy makes a mess and struggles for a while
He ties his shoes, but he can only barely run a mile
He's been saving all his cash for this
Painful waiting, is there something you missed?
But now don't say
That I should be ashamed
'Cause no, you don't know me
Just relax
Maybe it won't be the same
When no, you don't know me
You don't even know his name

Don't call me again I've got too much time to lose,
Don't say it's over 'til he's had his time to choose
But being the victim wasn't better with you around
I'll have to tell myself it's better without you around
There's only clues
What do they mean to you?
Spend your time waiting for a game you can teach the ghost to play
Just don't think that it will be the same
Cause being the victim wasn't better with you around
I'll have to convince myself it's better without you around again
No matter how hard you try you know you'll never change
Don't call me again
I'm not trying to be rude
Please try to forgive me man, I'm just not in the mood
'Cause being the victim isn't better with you around, I'll say it again
You've taken me for granted, I guess that's fine
I hope it's good for you

I was spendin' every day lookin' in the mirror
'Til I learned to hate the way I look
And every day when I awoke it never seemed much clearer
Well now it's time to forgive and forget
I can tell that somethin's gonna' have to change
And I can tell that somethin's about to change
Said they'd give you everything that you ever needed
Well then they turn around and say goodbye
For the longest time I felt like i was runnin'
Well now it's time to forgive and forget
I tell ya', I can tell that somethin's gonna' have to change
And i can tell that somethin's about to change
I can tell that somethin's gonna's have to change
And I can tell that nothin's ever gonna' change
No one's ever sorry, no one's ever sorry
No one's ever sorry anymore
No one's ever sorry

I know you think you're pretty smart,
But you don't know what you're talkin' about
I know you think you're pretty cool,
But you don't know what you're talkin' about
There's a voice in your head that repeats all you said
Telling you all the time it's one hell of a crime
'Cause the answer is
I'm doin' fine, I'm doin' fine
You've asked me that too many times, too many times
I know you think I'm pretty sad,
But you don't know what you're talkin' about
It really wasn't all that bad,
But I don't know what I'm talkin' about
There's a chance we could be parting ways, World War III,
Tellin' you all the time I don't need all your lies
'Cause the answer is
I'm doin' fine, I'm doin' fine
You've asked me that too many times, too many times

I hope you know I'm sitting here on the floor,
With all the shots that you couldn't take anymore
He says it's gonna' take a long time to see
He says it's gonna' take a long time
All the words that she was sayin'
Keepin' you from even playin'
Lost your keys I guess you're stayin'
All night long
I can't breathe if I don't get outside,
Run away and don't you catch their eyes
Because there's only one way to get out of here
(Only one way to get out before they say there's)
Only two ways to get out of this
(Can't pay up and I don't wanna' take your fuckin' quiz)
And there he is he's lyin' there in the road
It must have been some finances that he owed
They're sayin' he was takin' too long to pay
They're sayin' he was takin' too long
Blood is a river and streets are an ocean
And money is motion and kinship is key
Can't a man just be impoverished and free?
Get out now before they give him a ring
Because there's only one way to get out of here
(Only one way to get out before they say there's)
Only two ways to get out of this
A thousand years of chasing peace and now we're left with this

I suppose it could've been about flying too close to the sun,
Or maybe one about trying to run and how it never fixes things,
But before you reach conclusions of what this means to you,
Just know that I am unaware, i really have no clue
Feelings can surround you, or slap you in the face
Or change the scenes in memories, or vanish without a trace
I thought I was a static figure, immune to their division,
But circumstance and ignorance had come to force decision
I'll give myself away for what I know I had to do
All the while sobbing knowing what I took from you
Life is not a test, 'nor a never-ending loop
It's somewhere in between I think, from the times I've dared to look
I won't say I'm forgiven and I won't say that I'm glad
Just keep steering smartly, with all the time that I have
And I cannot right my wrongs, for I don't think that I could
But I'l take my shirt off my back, and I'll burn it in the woods

How does it feel to be easy to love?
I wouldn't know
Some people get to live up in their towers
When I'm just down here with the birds and the bees
Waited to meet her, waited to see her
Treat her, then cheat her, then fuck up and leave her
I'm hoping this time that I keep her
How does it feel to be out in the rain?
I didn't believe her when she said she loved me, I should've
Waited to meet her, waited to see her
Treat her, then cheat her, then fuck up and leave her
I'm hoping this time that I keep her
Yeah, it's true
Waited to meet her, waited to see her
Treat her, then cheat her, then fuck up and leave her
I'm hoping this time that I keep her

It's been a while since we've been home
It's been a while since I've felt this alone
You give your time up just to see what you can do
You try to please your friends but hey what can you do
There's nothin' left to say anymore
I'll just keep it short for now,
So you can leave me in the dark
But we no longer need our heads,
And then she says to me we just need somethin' left to lose
So just say that it's okay, and I'll get out of your way
Felt alive but was that you?
Was it fun or was it rules?
Lost a year and shit but that's just how it goes
Said too many things now everybody knows
There's nothin' left to say anymore, so just keep it short
'Cause I won't say I'd rather be dead
And then you say to me, "you better know what you have"
Because it's been a long time mamma, a long time comin' here
Because it's been a long time mamma, a long time comin' here
To lose
So just say that it's okay, and I'll get out of your way
