lyrics

This might be the most unpunk song I’ve wrote
And that works for me/
Cause I am tired of singing about politics and drinking –
I’m still gonna, but give me a minute to breathe/
So up we go on this elevator, crashing through each floor as we pass/ And if and when we ever make it to the top, my friend, well then we can look on this rubble and laugh –

I hope I learn to love more than I’m capable of
And I hope this song is just the beginning/
the beginning of the end/

We’re so obsessed with thoughts, but an idea is just an idea –
We make them up all the time/
And I’m doing everything I can, but I’d rather suffer on my own
Than have to use you to survive/
So up we go on these tracks like a freight train, crashing through each floor as we pass/
And if and when we ever make to the end, my friend, well then we can look on this rubble and laugh/

I hope I learn to love more than I’m capable of
And I hope this song is just the beginning/

Cause life is like a marathon that everyone is running on
And everyone will cross the finish line/
And you can bet as long as I’ve got breath inside my lungs,
I’m gonna run like there’s participation prizes/
Cause it’s easier to fight with the closed hand,
but it only makes the cycle start again/
And if you aren’t fighting hate with love, you’re victory won’t be worth a damn/

Well, I’ve had to take a dive into my own mind
Because people leave me depressed/
And I didn’t like the things I’d find - all these contradictions
That I can’t address/
Still I chose to live within the abstract
Cause contradictions cannot cut my flesh/
And really that’s the whole fucking problem and the reason why people scare me to death/

Stil, I hope I learn to love more than I’m capable of and I hope this song is just the beginning.
