We had reason to believe that it would always be good We had reason to believe that it was doomed from the start It turned out a farce Condescending son has gone and sun is coming out my son for us The bus is missing must be something in the weather’s cloudy day We just might be late Narcoleptic networkers who park their carcass in the market parking lot without their car keys waiting for the prophet’s caucus to pass What a waste of gas Now I don’t believe in Cinderella Read the wiki page about depression had another stella I don’t Wanna know How your bratty kids are doing after being raised in private school who get drool on their dicks instead of blood on their lips I don’t Really care what you say I duck for cover when there’s nothing there I scream for help like wood chipped chair I’m broken in two, maybe three, maybe four I hit the floor I cry in the day in the brilliant light I smile in the cab on a Monday night I go, and I stop, and I go, and I stop Teenage Romance in a Fast Life dwelling on missed kisses with the misses please dismiss I pissed the bliss away amiss with remiss from untaken risk has gotta be good for something But don’t lie to me Jocks in wheelchairs getting glares of former glory unrepaired just gotta walk away, oh wait, they can’t They think, “At least I got good hair” We had reason to expect that forever was a virtue We had reason to believe in a thing called love What a bunch of crud Now I don’t believe in Cinderella Read the wiki page about depression had another stella I don’t Wanna know How your bratty kids are doing after being raised in private school who get drool on their dicks instead of blood on their lips I don’t Really care what you say I duck for cover when there’s nothing there I scream for help like wood chipped chair I’m broken in two, maybe three, maybe four I hit the floor I cry in the day in the brilliant light I smile in the cab on a Monday night I go, and I stop, and I go, and I stop Teenage Romance in a Fast Life I drop for cover when there’s nothing there I scream for help like wood chipped chair I’m broken in two, maybe three, maybe four I hit the floor I cry in the day in the brilliant light I smile in the cab on a Monday night I go, and I stop, and I go, and I stop Teenage Romance in a Fast Life

Ease up baby Take it slow Let me burn this Feeling into my soul 'Cause everything in the world is enough I tried to be hard enough To say that I had had enough But I was caught on the line The pain I used to feel Was nothing but the aftertaste Of sucking on a sour pill And here I go again Mourning for the future that I was to have Now she's just a ghostly wail on my old tracks Everything in the World is Enough Shut up darling Come on and let go Let me convince you of what you already know That everything in the world is enough Lay back baby Don't fight Let it happen It feels so right And everything in the world can be enough I tried to be hard enough To say that I had had enough But I was caught on the line The pain I used to feel Was nothing but the aftertaste Of sucking on a sour pill And here I go again Mourning for the future that I was to have Now she's just a ghostly wail on my old tracks Everything in the World is Enough Everything in the World is Enough Everything in the World is Enough Everything in the World is Enough Everything in the World is Enough

Jumping off the New York skyline with a high mind Falling on velvet streets feel like concrete in the daily grind I’m clocking in and punching out and punching me and cleaning grout In this pipeline of a heart’s line with a courtesy call from the front line It was gravity that pulled us up and destiny that brought us together But that doesn’t mean that true love makes you any less of a quitter In the corners of my life in the shadows of shame there’s a black man with a beaten brow from the judiciary courts and the civil service But where are you in the day’s end, you fake ass friend Pat my back with a knife instead of a helping hand Condensating with fear in the dawn of the eve where you pulled out these lies concealed under your sleeve For forty days and forty nights I clung to a false promise That when God had wrought a divine dryness that she would be my royal highness But it was so wrong and so long, and it still is Until I could see my damn face without seeing hers in it Just break me down, I’m a clown, doing tricks with a frown In the alley, the gutter, the continuous flutter of life in the nether where everyone’s better And more well adjusted but can’t seem to get her God Bless the red, white, and blue As if our country’s pride will make up for what the heart can’t do I just don’t know what I’m coming to, I just don’t know Maybe this bitch is crazy Perhaps profoundly lazy Just wanted to smoke weed in hot rods and suck dick under the promenade But there’s a cost to freedom cause every moment you need it there’s someone who'll beat you Polling for answers, an election, an ordinary ordinance sanction, It’s the function of a junked brain to clutch onto intangible reins God Bless the Red, white, and blue as if our country’s pride will make up for what the heart can’t do I just don’t know what I’m coming to, I just don’t know Waving a black flag Without thinking of the price tag, sitting in a parking lot snorting white lighting off a paper bag Just so this teenage glory never ends Keep the party going get your ragtag friends to make amends A slight gag at the thought being sober The part’s never over never forget In a drunken haze of stupid powder relinquishing your godly power over me A spree of pleas for missed opportunities won’t you please Forget everything you thought you knew about me My pain, your pain, love stain, the same, As a matter of fact God bless the red, blue and black, a panic attack Colors of the rainbow are all out of whack, but no one’ll put em back It’s armageddon, God bless the red, black, and blue As if our country’s pride will make up for what the heart can’t do
