Not As Bad

(アルバム： Burning At Both Ends - 2011)

I came in third to everything
I need you to get here and pencil in anything
So many switches end the silence
I want to shout it out
And Resonate
A new way

All the long days
We couldn't always
Read the short way
Or read correctly

Please redirect me
If it stays here
Make it not too late
To get lost
Always anticipating blame

And I am aging here for all
All of the thing that will be new again

It's not as bad as bad as everyone says
Drink through what you can see through
If it breaks the rules they gave you
Take it off
Amnesia helps to get you there when
You can't remember how to
Let the cars do what they will do
When the train derails
Take this as your moment to fly.

Never back down
When jekyll'ed hands are
Idling to hyde
Personable personalities
For fear of being found out
Left behind

I'm younger guns
Travelling eastward
And up

Making good on claims to shove west
When gold country washes prospects in again

It's not as bad as bad as everyone says
Drink through what you can see through
If it breaks the rules they gave you
Take it off
Amnesia helps to get you there when
You can't remember how to
Let the cars do what they will do
When the train derails
Ditching the tracks for the town.

Let's rewrite nostalgic laws
Scream our lungs and walk past oz
Walk past foreign dreams to know it all
Because we are young
We are young
We are undone
And we know just what's good for us
True and real things can be touched and felt
And told without tongues

We search for new answers

It's not as bad as bad as everyone says
Drink through what you can see through
If it breaks the rules they gave you
Take it off
Amnesia helps to get you there when
You can't remember how to
Let the cars do what they will do
When the train derails
Take this as your moment to fly.
