lyrics

Hanging from bridge with pockets full of bricks.
But I didn't cry for those broken promises.
Feeling like a collapsed lung, breathing what I can't.
Bleeding under water with the sharks circling around the scent.
-and when you see a landscape isn't there a piece of you you know would love to take it apart?
-I'm doing the best I can to reduce all the noise inside to something I can understand.
But it's gallows humor. Nobody plays for long. And no one's too sure if this is where they belong.

Alright, alright, alright, I'll admit I'm doing alright.
Alright, alright, alright I'll admit I'm doing just fine.
Just fine.
You win. You and you and you win. You've made your point.
You win. You and you and you and your hopelessness.
"I can't believe," is what you really mean "there's more than one way to end or change the course of a dream."
And I don't know the best way to take the weight away. And I don't know the first thing about most everything.
But I'll try to understand these lies. And I'll do my best to tell you what I find.
That is if you'll hear it. I'll bet it's most in the spirit of fun. Let's all have a laugh. Let's all pretend we know the other half, but try not to ruin the joke.

All isn't so perfect but it's not the worst it could be.
What's the point of all the sound if it only brings you down. Where's the remedy?
My friends, I love you all so much. I hope you love something too.
I know it's tough. Sometimes you're stuck. Let's all help each other through.
