until it begins to collapse
until it begins to collapse
R
it will all work out
that's the tune that I told
my mind was fruitful
my poetry, gold
it took only a minute
for my life to turn into a laugh
It didn't get better in
the second half
it was just like it was
throughout the nation
time to forget my summer vacation
it had been a good life
I had escaped the trap
I was enjoying myself
then it all began to collapse
when I'm in bed I think about school
think about you
think how we're both fools
I wonder if we'll survive
I wonder
why I'm alive
it's a coin toss
a crap shoot
a balloon in the wind
you can start at the beginning
if you know where to begin
to the world , you're a stranger
and myself, I'm the same
we have too too solid flesh
that melts into a game
I was hoping for more
you were betting on less
we were good
we were blessed
but in a curse like the rest
you could have bet against time
you could have escaped your past
you can
enjoy your view from the bridge
until it begins to collapse
I know we'll get through this
I know that you're strong
just know that we're in it
till we hear the last song
til we hear the last minute
till we see the last day
then,
we'll ignore the nice speeches & what
the world has to say
we're going to make it
look into my eyes.
don't we have the best message?
we don't have to think twice
it's all gone in a minute
it is what it is
we weren't promised a rose garden
and that's show biz
you were always my forever
now it's time to brave
we know we can be thankful
for all we've escaped
cut to the ending
read the last paragraph
lets watch the world become
shadows
until it begins to collapse..
