“The Bottom of the Sea”
we are gonna build an empire
with walls so high they blend into the sky.
and everyone will want it
but the price they’ll have to pay is way to high.
we’ll be millionares locked in a castle.
we’ll be billionares in the belly of the whale.
we’ll be trillionares when you remember to miss us.
and we wont have to go anywhere.
and if this ends, we know I’ll lose it.
my face will crack, and my eyes will always squint.
cause we’re the only ones that have it,
and without it, I’m just a little kid.
I’ll be the only one locked in that castle.
I’ll be the only one at the bottom of the sea.
I’ll be the last one to stand up and volunteer
cause I won’t have anywhere to be.
no, I won’t have anywhere to be.
“Paradise”
paradise…
is often mistaken,
for an island off the coast,
or a private beach alone.
but I’m here, to tell you its different,
no, it’s neither of those.
its the times you spend close…
close…
paradise…
it’s sadly forsaken,
for a pill you take alone,
not a wife, a kid, a home.
but I’m here, to tell you to watch it.
you may enjoy it on your own, but soon you’ll leave us all unknown.
close…
close…
oo…oo….
close…
“We Don’t Grow Up”
there was a flash so magnificent,
the dust had cleared, the noise had left.
I couldn’t believe I was the only one left.
I saw a girl she sang a song,
“what has happened? what is wrong?”
so I asked her to follow me, I asked her to follow me.
Whatever you say, we’ll all be okay, we’ll all be okay.
so we walked across the barren land,
the pessimist on the right and the hopefuly on the left
I couldn’t believe we were the only one’s left
the pessimist she shouted,
“We don’t grow up, we just blow up!”
So I asked her to follow me, I asked her to follow me.
Whatever you say, we’ll all be okay, we’ll all be okay.
We don’t grow up, we just blow up.
“Jewlery”
girl, get yourself a map.
we’re going on a journey.
to paris, costa rica, and germany.
and we wont need much money,
we’ll sell all our jewlery.
we’ll trade all our riches
for hospitality.
so next time you see me don’t stand up and shout.
and we’ll get together and remember how we have no idea,
what this world is all about.
we paid our dues to stonehenge,
in england.
and rode a tiny canoe,
through the amazon.
we hiked the sahara’s,
and climbed us some pyramids.
we joined all the locals, in the festivities
so next time you see me dont stand up and shout.
and we’ll get together and remember how we have no idea,
what this world is all about.
“How my story started”
if education was ever to me whatever it was ever supposed to be,
then im positive that everyone else is feeling just as confused as me.
late papers mean nothing
late papers mean nothing
late papers mean nothing
and it’s clear, it’s clear that
if information was an artform 2 and 2 could equal 5, 6, 7 or 8
my memorized rules would mean nothing to me,
and our success, our success would be determined by ingenuity.
not by how well we cheat.
harvard is a school. but i…
if education was ever to you, whatever it is they promised to do.
then I’m positive that you should know exactly what it is you wanna be
but your future means nothing
and your future means nothing
your future means nothing to you,
and its clear, it’s clear that
if happiness was a math equation
what you put in would always work its way out.
my tears my smiles mean nothing to her.
and our success, our success should be determined by how hard we work..
harvard is a school. but I’m an institution
“A Sunken Ship”
there is a sunken ship
at the bottom of the sea.
it’s where, you’ll find.
my clothes my watch and all my money.
there is a sunken ship
at the bottom of the sea.
it’s where, you’ll find.
my clothes my watch and all my money.
and thats why i never ever have a sense of time.
and thats why i never ever have a sense of time
and thats why i never ever have a sense of time
and thats why i never ever ever have a sense of time.
“Sleepwalking”
the things
that keep
me down during the day,
and late up at night…
ooo…ooo…
are the things
that keep
you there, in my mind,
but out of sight
ooo…ooo…
they’re not fears of death but fears of life!
they’re not fears of death but fears of life!
im not right with this…
im not right with this…
but ill try to sleep on it…
try to sleep on it…
i’ll sleep right through it.
and repeat.
but I
have learned
to “live what i love”
cause my time’s almost up.
ooo…ooo…
and I
can’t waste
waste another day,
trying to figure you out
ooo…ooo…
I just feel like sleepwalking!
I just feel like sleepwalking!
I’m not right with this…
I’m not right with this…
but I’ll try to sleep on it…
try to sleep on it…
sleep right through it.
and repeat.
“Something Special”
you’ve got to file-in, you’ve got to file-out
put your hands up! and shout it out!
cause someone’s got a dotted line, pointed right between your eyes.
you’ve got to play the game.
at least for a little while,
cause someone’s got a better cut, and I know they ain’t done much.
but I’m not scared.
no, I’m not scared of anything at all.
and I’m not mad, I’m just upset a little thats all.
bad karma is coming your way
bad karma is coming your way
bad karma is coming your way, and I’m excited for that day!
the weather’s changin’ from blue to grey
the weather’s changin’ from blue to grey
the weathers changin’ from blue to grey, and I’m excited for that day!
it’s shadowin’ you!
the cycle’s rollin’ around!
it’ll beat you up!
and pound you into the ground!

“Sail! Sail! Sail!”
sailing hard, to the east
the waves kept crashing, but they wont stop me.
we lost a friend, overboard.
but i sail for shore, cause thats where you are.
its been seven long months, but we’re finally here.
we reached the shoreline.
but you weren’t there.
my eyes they swelled up,
some guys got mad.
so i dropped that anchor,
and i held on, with all that i had.
i didn’t make it, thats just my luck.
but i swallowed my visions, and i threw them back up.
head back to the ocean,
the wide open seas!
im sailing for new land!
and thats where you’ll find me!
“Confident”
I’m tired
of being.
confident.
so I smash it,
into pieces.
and I bury,
I bury,
it in the sand.
cause I’m leaving,
here without it.
so I gathered
all my money
I took to the streets.
it wasn’t rainy,
it wasn’t sunny,
but it sure beat being
in one place.
