the big drag

before James died he smiled and laughed

cuz he was just photographed

for the last time

while it was drowned the kitten purred

at least that's what i thought i heard

but maybe that's cuz i need to believe

in the absurd

 

ashes to ashes

after the planet crashes

i trust all dust

will turn to dust

 

i used to think a wasted life

was not a crime

that's before i realized

we don't have very much more time

 

my melodies are maladies

my poetries are just phonetic

trying to make sense of this world

is preposterous pathetic

 

the gods have had their fun playing this world

but now its too upsetting

the human race is not worth watching

or wagering on

we're just a longshot

an underdog

with odds so bad now it's just a bloodletting

so every deity with dignity

has just stopped betting

 

so follow me into a world

of anything you've ever dreamed

now that morality is blurred

if you listen really closely

you'll probably believe in every single word

 

mesmerized by rhetorical

and memorized historical events

that never actually occured

we're not blind

we're bound and binded

our minds have been land minded

and i'm so excited

 

every single person on this planet

thinks they are right

cuz if you thought that you were wrong

you'd change your mind fuck from black to white

i do believe in true romance

so i'm gonna dance and fight and fuck

with every moment

i'll always have something in my glass to raise

to make a toast for those making the most

of the last days

 

nothing is ever gonna change

nothing will ever be okay

nothing is ever gonna change

nothing will ever be okay

there's only a finite number of tomorrows

and it's not a lot

but it's all we really got

it's all we really got

 

live each precious moment 

that we can manage to carve out of each day

so when it's time for us to die

we can say our short goodbye

 

there is no sadness

if there's no one left to cry
