Don't be my safety net
Don't be my ambulance when I'm not hurt
Don't be the chain that holds me from the world
Don't be my life jacket
Don't be my lamp in the daytime
Don't be my cigarette,
Unless you're willing to give up the light
You've got to let go of the leash
At one point or another
You're got to let me out of reach
My dad and mother
You can't keep me in this prison for long
I'll disappear.

Sailing to Shizaru

This ephemeral madness,
Is sinking into me
I don't sleep anymore,
I just rest my head occasionally
The lights are dim,
But flickering
The TV is on
And there is something watching me
I don't need medication anymore
But that doesn't mean I'm cured.
Living in a capsule
Isn't hard at all
When you really get down to it
Was it really all so worth it?
We're sailing to Shizaru
We're sailing to what could be
We're sailing to Shizaru
We're hoping they can see.
These posters on my wall,
Are getting old
I don't even like half of these bands anymore
Holding on,
To memories
That aren't worth having in the first place.
You can have my pills
I don't even use them
But that doesn't mean
That you can abuse them
I see through your ruse there.
Your ruse there.

The sirens from the Armada are blarin'
Scarin' the passerby's
I search for a house that is uninterrupted
By nicotine eyes
They break down the door and they take my guitar
And try to hoist me up to their land
But I won't go I won't go you can't make me.
Woah
On the run,
these vicious condescending creatures snapping at me
I need to find my ship and fly away
But they've taken my guitar, and your guitar, and her guitar
So lets get our guitars back while we chant
Woah
Waiting for the Calvary,
(to kick us out of our own possibilities)
Waiting for the Calvary
Woah

My walls were my canvas when I was fifteen
Now they’re just a memorial for the stupidity inbetween
My drawers were filled to the brim with photos and thumbtacks
Now they’re a tomb for recycled dreams and whiplash
But I won’t take my ceiling down, I won’t surrender to clouds
You sent the hounds after my crown, but guess whose laughing now.
We sunk deep into the mountains and you called for my approval
But the past and future is not able, you put your cards out on the table
And you screamed until the trees bowed to the rain.
You tried to impale my heart with a shard of a cartoon star
This is closest I will get to sanity, the closest I will ever get to Yes.

With eyes of Violet,
I am obligated to leave
I am laying on a shoreline,
and I cannot feel my feet
(Interrupted by the Sky)
(Interrupted by the Sky)
These conversations are so trivial
Shut up and come with me in my castle
I promise we'll have tons of fun
With the whole family
(Corrupted by the Sky)
(Interrupted by the Sky)
Put on a happy face
And disappear without a trace
I can tell that you're angry
So why don't you get it over with?
(Corrupted by the Sky)
