OK, so listen: I like my life a lot
It's a shame that these sharks got my leg and won't stop
They won't stop, they won't stop, they won't stop -
They're on top
Keep them from biting and make sure my bedroom door's still locked
Oh, look at the clock
You should practice these things by yourself
I know these words really hurt but they help
And I'm doing the best that I can
To make a spell in this sand;
To be with my family and friends;
We're too many means without ends
I thought you died in that car?
I swore I saw your broken arms,
But now that you're here there's no harm
Got a magicians touch, and his charm
There are so many words in this song
That let me know that I'm wrong
You never really were gone;
My writing changes those thoughts
Do you understand what I mean?
It was only writing for me,
But my ink spills you on the page -
Through this change, I've been saved
Holy water just wont do it;
It's much too easy to see right through it
It takes some time and some discipline
In our respective fields of medicine
Lalalalalalalala
I walked into a Laundromat and lit up a cigarette
A woman said, "Extinguish that You can't smoke in here"
But I can, and I am,
And I'm so separated from my own awkward body
I'm stretching out to clear a pool of water
An open invitation - to us from the oceans
Alchemy is fun
You see you don't need to change things;
Things change themselves:
From metal to gold, from raindrops to snow
It just so happens the snow will change us all
Ironic how these bones can't handle the fall
Nostalgia dies every time we lie about some details we hide -
Cause the truth truly hurts sometimes
So don't you cry
Don't keep me up all night
Don't say that you're all right when the truth is you're not all right
Don't you understand that alchemy is not about the life we lead?
It's all about the change to things
It's getting harder every day -
Hard for me to breath:
It's hard enough to breathe
I want to change things
