Morning in paradise, I roll over in my bed Rolling incognito dice all throughout my head. I turn down the music and raise the alarms. I might just lose it and I come to harm. My seasick sympathy shining in the wind But my fantasy grows far too thin. Can't you see the irony Directly beneath me? Another forgotten scream. Just more seasick sympathy. I got to the finish line but didn't cross 'Cause I heard the sirens sing to me, Just telling me that I had lost With a face of gross, so sickly green. I need to breathe. I need to breathe. I forgot to believe. I need to breathe. The world is at it's end But we don't know it. We just sit there, Remembering dead poets. I stand up amongst the fallen angels, Twisted and turned consumed in tangles. My own soul in mangles, The chains all wrapped around my ankles. I need to breathe. I need to breathe. I forgot to believe. I need to breathe. Seasick sympathy Shining in the wind But my fantasy Grows far too thin. I got nothing to lose, I got the drowning blues, I got dirty shoes, I got the news. I need to breathe. I need to breathe. I forgot to believe. I need to breathe. Seasick Sympathy, I need to breathe. I forgot to believe My dearest fantasy.

Working 02:50
Take your pick Do whatever you want Choose it Come and get it done Working so long Fighting so hard Trying so much To not tire Hurry quick Race against the clock Forget Tear apart your locks Working so long Fighting so hard Trying so much To not tire Do not stick Around for the end Finished Run away with friends Working so long Fighting so hard Trying so much To not tire

So Fast 02:19
Do you ever get the feeling the days just go on by? No time for talk, no time for walk, I'm just a normal guy. The papers keep on stackin', I wish I could be packin' My bags to get me to far, far away. Clocks just keep on tickin', time just keeps on spinnin'. I feel my mind degrading as the minutes go away. But there's a silver lining, I know that I ain't lying. All you need it time, time, time. It just keeps slippin'. Some things are missin'. Time is all I know And it's going so fast. How many, how much, what, which, and why? The enemy of nostalgia turns out to be sly. Where can you find the garden of your mind? The seeds are planted deep between the lines. I never am able to pay all the costs, Searching for all the time that I have lost. I repetitively do everything again, Repeating my life, I never seem to win. It just keeps slippin'. Some things are missin'. Time is all I know And it's going so fast. (Hey, hey, hey) It just keeps slippin'. Some things are missin'. Time is all I know And it's going so fast.

It's always sunny up here, Out near the stratosphere. I don't have a care in the world When I'm always with my girl. It's a wonderful day to go fly. Drink in hand, I haven't got a plan. I hope this flight doesn't have to land. A first class seat can't be beat. When you look out the view is neat. It's a wonderful day in the clouds. It's always sunny up here, Out near the stratosphere. I don't have a care in the world When I'm always with my girl. It's a wonderful day to go fly. Can't you see? You're who I want to be with. Hell, you're what I need. Crystal blue eyes and crystal blue skies, I'm enamored with your crystal disguise. It's a wonderful when you're around. It's always sunny up here, Out near the stratosphere. I don't have a care in the world When I'm always with my girl. It's a wonderful day to go fly. On this pale blue dot, I refuse to rot. When I reach the skies, I still won't stop. I look below and I know it's so: The stars above are where I have to go. It's just a wonderful day. It's always sunny up here, Out near the stratosphere. I don't have a care in the world When I'm always with my girl. It's a wonderful day to go fly.

Her mind is tired and complacent, She's lost in an ancient dream Like something you find adjacent To a black and white TV. I surf the channels every day But it always stays the same. There's no color inside your brain, And that's driving me insane. Your like a black and white TV, A relic from the fifties. Your like a black and white TV, Set your mind free. Please, please, please. This boy digs the legends. There's nothing wrong with that But he needs to catch up to the present And pull out of the past. I surf the channels every day But it always stays the same. There's no color inside your brain, And that's driving me insane. Your like a black and white TV, A relic from the fifties. Your like a black and white TV, Set your mind free. Please, please, please. Na, nana, na, nana, na, nana. Na, nana, na, nana, na, nana. Na, nana, na, nana, na, nana. Na, nana, na, nana, na, nana. I surf the channels every day But it always stays the same. There's no color inside your brain, And that's driving me insane. Your like a black and white TV, A relic from the fifties. Your like a black and white TV, Set your mind free. Please, please, please. You know what? Just forget it.

Honey, don't you know me? I was born next to you. Honey, can't you see me? I'm standing beside you. Oh darling, can't you hear me? I'm yelling at you. Oh darling, can't you smell me? My corpse is rotting next to you. Someday when I wake up You'll see me standing there, A ghost of my screw ups Tangled in your hair. Honey, can't you feel me? My arms are around you. Honey, can't you remember me When I sat right next to you? Oh darling, can't you feed me? I'm running out of food. Oh darling, you know it's me. Can you do what I need you to do? Someday when I wake up You'll see me standing there, A ghost of my screw ups Tangled in your hair. Honey, can't you get me? 'Cause I'm trying to get you. Honey, can't you help me? 'Cause I'm drowning without you. Oh darling, can't you lay me Down in a hole with you. Oh darling, you have slain me With a shotgun known as you. Someday when I wake up You'll see me standing there, A ghost of my screw ups Tangled in your hair.

Hey Albatross, how you doing? Well, I'm doing fine Even if you don't want to answer me, Just know you're in the back of my mind. Somehow, somewhere, something Something doesn't seem doesn't seem quite right I'm going about my busy day Working to reach new heights I'm smiling and laughing, and crying tears of joy Everything seems quite nice But inside I can hear you chirp Skinned by a hunter's knife Hey Albatross, how you doing? Well, I'm doing fine Even if you don't want to answer me, Just know you're in the back of my mind. Everything I knew before Hasn't changed at all All my emotions are still picked out From the stores at a shopping mall But now I find myself worrying That I'm gonna fall And except you no one can catch me I guess I got too tall Hey Albatross, how you doing? Well, I'm doing fine Even if you don't want to answer me, Just know you're in the back of my mind. Where did everyone go? Everyone that I used to know Well, Mary had a little lamb Its fleece was as white as snow Bird you got tangled in that wool And made the alphabet hit a new low And now the letters that make up 'love' and other words Will have to regrow Hey Albatross, how you doing? Well, I'm doing fine Even if you don't want to answer me, Just know you're in the back of my mind. Reason says differently But I don't want you to leave me alone I pray on your every word But I can't stand the pecking inside my dome So get the hell out of here I guess my heart will turn to stone I'll sit in a mighty castle And degrade as I dream of chrome Hey Albatross, how you doing? I'm not doing fine I know you won't ever answer me So I'm just gonna leave you behind You can fly away into the storm You can fly to a heaven above Just make sure you're not near here Throw me beneath the rug If over the edge what's meant for me Just give me that final shove If the only things I believe in don't make sense I guess I've had enough.
