lyrics

Picture my death in the hospital
Counting all the tiles in the ceiling
Heaven came and went, but I feel so good
Salvation ain't guaranteed, but I feel so good
I pissed time away, but I found God
In the form of who we all want to be
Thank God for making God to make Man
Thank Man for making God to shake hands
For what it's worth

So don't chew off your nails or pull out your hair
You're grown enough now to know this life isn't fair
Maybe these things will get better one day
Without darkness or sadness to lead you astray

Call out my name as an alibi
And as Michigan grows colder
May death immortalize me in your eyes
Sing me a eulogy while the punks get high
For what it’s worth

So don't chew off your nails or pull out your hair
You're grown enough now to know this life isn't fair
Maybe these things will get better one day
Without darkness or sadness to lead you astray
Wipe the tears from your eyes and try to stand tall
When you're not really sure how you got here at all
To scream out your name at the top of my lungs
Shaking bonds of our worth that are coming undone

This is my apology for everything and everything we came to be
Pardon my neurologies
The endless fights and sleepless nights
The blame's on me

So don't chew off your nails or pull out your hair
You're grown enough now to know this life isn't fair
Maybe these things will get better one day
Without darkness or sadness to lead you astray
Wipe the tears from your eyes and try to stand tall
When you're not really sure how you got here at all
To scream out your name at the top of my lungs
Slipping bonds of our worth that are coming undone
