Start over, reset
Fire water, erase regret
Troubled stone that the builder refused
Fill the cracks with plastic and glue

Spending everyday, trying to find a way to hold it down, hold it down now
There's nothing in a name, just a player in the game, all alone and no one left to blame now
Nothing stays the same, it's always gonna change, before you know it's all been rearranged now
Replaced with something strange

I've spent my fair share of time alone
Maybe too much is what you keep tellin me
I've given my life a time or two
But was it for me and not for you?
I've tried to give myself away
So many times I have felt ashamed
And every smile I had to fake
Has added to this unbearable weight
Aint got no time to mess around
So pick yourself up from off the ground
I could say these clouds will go away
But they'll probably come back someday

When my time comes, and y'all lay me down
When the bell tolls and I'm underground
Don't you cry for me, 'cause I can finally sleep
Don't you worry, 'cause it's not so cold
Don't get in no hurry, to grow old
'Cause life is so fleeting
So keep your heart beating
If there's a lesson here, let me know
We stake our claim here, then we go
And what I leave behind, will be lost in time
Live while you've got the chance
I'll make it home at last

How do you know which way to go
When you come upon a fork in the road
And do you know when you will be coming back again?
How many miles must I roam
Before I come upon a place I call home
I do not know when I will be coming back again
The fruit is hanging on the vine
Just out of reach, truth divine
The snake is me and it's my own lie

Picked apart by another night turning wrenches
Countin' days til I'm back home sittin' on the benches
Not much for the small talk that fills the hours, but I'll make it through for a chance at an ivory tower
Sucked out, beat down by synthetic vultures
That's how it goes, another victim of the plastic culture
We don't need another pontiff to give permission, speakin' for a god that only punishes
Never listens
It's a hard knock life when you're pushin' pencils
Hard to look alive when your life is so penitential
All alone, on the throne, he sits in desperation
Crown of thorns on his head from his own congregation

Stand in the light right now
And rise above the crowd
So you can shout it out
A lesson wrapped in gold
A place to call your home
Where you never sleep alone
In the phosphorescent glow
You can stay a while, I'll be back when I
Find a reason why
The forest had to die
The truth was with us all along
Hidden in a song
A plastic ball and chain
A signal in the brain
Comin' down with summer rain
Comes and goes without a stain
Drippin' down a window pane
In the house we had to make
Had to make
Had to make
Had to make
What has been will be again
What's been done will be done again
There is nothing new
Under the sun
