lyrics

“I WOKE UP I A NEW YORK MINUTE
I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO, EVERYTHING I KNEW HAD CHANGED”

“WHY IS IT THAT I HAD TO BE SO AFRAID?
WHY IS IT THAT I FELT A LITTLE ASHAMED?
WHY IS IT THAT I HAD TO HANDLE IT ALL?
WHY IT IT THAT I HAD TO TRIP AND FALL?”

I TRIP AND FALL INTO ANOTHER DIMENSION
WHERE THIS TRAFFIC JAM DOESNT KEEP SLOWING ME DOWN
AND FROWN UPON THE LAWS OF INVENTION
WHERE ALL MY CHILDREN LIKE TO CREATE THESE SOUNDS
OF A TIME OF TIME WE HAVE YET TO EXPERIENCE
AND THE LIVES THAT WE HAVE YET TO LIVE
I OPEN UP THIS BOOK AND STARE DEEP INTO YOUR FAMILY TREE
ONLY TO FIND THAT YOUVE BEEN BREEDING OFF OF COUNTERFIET SEEDS
I THOUGHT I TASTED SOMETHING SOUR IN YOUR BLOOD STREAM
THE PUZZLE PIECES FROM ANOTHER MOTHERS OLD BAD DREAMS
THIS WORLD IS COLD, MY WORDS WRITE DEATH IN THE SKY
TO PULL YOUR TREE FROM ITS ROOTS AND WATCH YOUR EVERYTHING DIE,
EVERYTHING DIE, EVERYTHING DIE

“WHY IS IT THAT I HAD TO BE SO AFRAID?”

THESE DISHES ARE DIRTY, THIS SINKS FILLED UP
OVERFLOWING WITH YOUR ALCOHOL AND CIGGARETTE BUTTS
ALONE I STAND OUTSIDE THESE FACTORIES, ALL COVERED IN RUST
WHILE YOUR COTTON CANDY SMOKE STACKS BREATHE EDIBLE DUST
GET INTIMATE WITH THE ASPHALT, KISS THE GROUND
WHILE I'M SKIPPING ACROSS ROOFTOPS, ON TOP OF THE TOWN
I HAVE A PLAN FOR REDEVELOPMENT, MY CITY IS DEAD
NO TIME FOR TEARS, NO TIME FOR REGRETS

“WHY IS IT THAT I HAD TO BE SO AFRAID?
WHY IS IT THAT I FELT A LITTLE ASHAMED?
WHY IS IT THAT I HAD TO HANDLE IT ALL?
WHY IT IT THAT I HAD TO TRIP AND FALL?”
