Today is the day, and we need to figure out what to to 'cause black's in bloom. Just take every little bit as it comes. We're S.O.L., but there's always a way out if you need it, sink or swim. The sun's gone down, but the light shines in. So don't hesitate, fundamate great change, 'cause when it's all said and done, we're in the same cage. Don't be afraid of what to say. We'll watch our problems fade away. There's nothing wrong with starting on a brand new day. We'll let the moonlight bring us closer each and every night. There's nothing wrong with starting on a brand new day. Today is today, and we need to figure out what to do with the afternoon, 'cause recent free time's left me thinking, and thinking's left me worrying about bigger things than chicks and parties, what to do with my life, and governments in other countries. But what do I know? It's only rock n' roll. It's dead like Led and Dylan's getting old. Don't be afraid of what to say. We'll watch our problems fade away. There's nothing wrong with Starting on a brand new day. We'll let the moonlight bring us closer each and every night. There's nothing wrong with starting on a brand new day. (Repeat once more)

Lesson Five 05:33
Words sharp like knives to my body left me stranded here alone to be. I've been as cool as I can be. The day turns and everything is evening. I'm not gone, yeah you know me, or at least I know myself and what's happening. Understanding by way of an objective perspective. Haven't seen the sun since you've been gone It's just begun and it's been so long, yeah I'm trying. I'll get by. I'm ripped up, I'm chopped up, I'm screwed up and messed up Been left for dead, bridges burned with my best buds. I light, I'm alive. I ease my mind while driving. I know I'll survive, but there's no denying that you meant everything to me. Now we both know why I can hardly breathe. I'll come clean, I'll 'fess up, I'll admit I messed up The way that I've been is a thing of the past. Can't we start over or just take it slower? And three months from now you'll be kissing my ass Even after all the shit that you dragged me through I still didnt turn around and shit on you. Isnt that what youd do? You're on a level That i dont wanna stoop to. The air is getting thick, the windows up. It's dark, but we're all lit in this beat up V Dub Bug I say im not giving a fuck but its easier said than done When you bring me down gotta get back up but the plant in this glass doesnt do that much its just the only way i know how to slow down time (Well there's that and I'm) Ripped up, and chopped up and screwed up and messed up ive been left for dead bridges burned with my best buds I light, I'm alive. i ease my mind while driving I know ill survive but theres no denying that you meant everything to me silver beetle boxed so hot its hard to breathe The walls black with smoke and a friendship now broken tomorrow is coming way too fast the green went with envy, a passion for frenzy its hard to live life when youre stuck in the past. Ripped up and chopped up and screwed up and messed up Been left for dead bridges burned with my best buds i light, im alive, i ease my mind while driving I know ill survive but then theres no denying that this worlds not participating hate's taken the place of waiting I just learned lesson five, dont tell me all your lies who are you to decide what i do with my mind and my time?

The sun is shining by me is it shining by you? well this green bay summer sky it is so blue, and it sends me off to a place that's deep inside lets my mind drift on and race through time. I don't know why can you see what i see? so surreal, this life is nothing but a dream. It brings me back to where i was. my thoughts are all i see staring me in the face god, help me please look at life through the window not the rear-view mirror every exit is an entry somewhere my mind's in stitches trapped behind the light of day. all these simple little thoughts are only keeping me sane Look and see This ain't how it's supposed to be Should've spent the time feeding off the good vibe. Reality, she told me i need to find a way to make this be A little more than likely. I think not, therefore you better find a new way. manipulate me no more please dont drive me insane well you stripped me clean left me only with my dignity I hope you know you'll never take it away from me.

These last few days Ain't been so swell Don't know who I am I'm not myself. Bottled up my mind Been thinking heavily One too many pulls it plays tricks on me I need a place to go to be alone that to everyone else would remain unknown I see the world outside the bar across the street All i need is air, and you wont let me breathe and that's why Everything and everyone Ive ever met, or just came into contact with has been telling me that I should stay away and all the energy this creates really moves me, but it makes me wish theyd always come together by the minds like this but think about bigger shit. Well she never left me but i still feel all alone it's been a long time coming and i dont know where to call home She doesnt give a fuck about me I can ride for free, but that's all itll ever be Spend four months in a prison cell you chose for youself personalize your own demise just create a personal hell only four more years to go society's lost reality and its really starting to show I havent got time for it. Everything and everyone Ive ever met or just came into contact with has been telling me that I should stay away and all the energy this creates really moves me, but it makes me wish theyd always come together by the minds like this but think about bigger shit.

She's an excellent writer but i bet he never knew that Sweet Mary Joe Jane she just wanted to change the world and he always stood beside her this closed minded dope ass he wasnt looking to change he just wanted her to be his girl and take care of him so he could do nothing Don't you know you gotta learn yourself before you can go and learn someone else? He controlled her, my green eyed lady. She had to lose those blues. Life's not a machine. When i saw that this was happening, I said, "Look here, Jim." Im taking Mary Joe in, and I dont care what you say or do about it." You know i only wanna save you I hate everything youve been through but you gotta start to make good calls so i can try to help you and if you think ignorance is bliss, you got another thing coming. If you ignore it for too long, soon youll be good for nothing. Allow me to introduce you to someone youll wish you never knew. We've been waiting for this moment for far too long. And this situation seems golden. But there's still one heart left broken. and you left before you'd spoken, and that's just wrong. You got me wishing, got me thinking got me stuck in this position baby tell me, gotta find it figure out your disposition if you love me if you hate me i promise it wont break me down It's colder in here than it is outside From the notion you made, I took it on the chin. Get the sticks and stones, build the fire right. One thing's for sure your bark is worse than your bite. I'll be the alley cat waiting by your back door week after week I'm bound to beg for more. and tomorrow the sun will rise while i rip myself down this perforated line. She left her heart wide open but she never showed it she never showed it Oh no, youd never know it but she was so in love. Now that same heart lies broken, but youd never know it youd never know it. She never saw him coming. She was so in Love is the thing that you know is gonna bring us together when we need it most. All i wanted you to do was see it from my point of view stuck in your own reality tv show its not for me but hey, I'll look on the brighter side of things I'm directing and your season's ending. She left her heart wide open, but she never showed it. She never showed it. Oh no you'd never know it, but she was so in love. Now that same heart lies broken but youd never know it. Youd never know it. She never saw him coming. She was so in love.

Red eyes been flying no target in mind, but to see her beauty is to see why im blind. and this constant beat in my head wont let me ignore her timing her presence She feels something more Will somebody please help me? It feels like I'm about to hit the ceiling For whatever it's worth I'm not breaking. But for whatever reason You've got me shaking. I wont let you bring me down. I might. Ive got my walls raised high Im still fighting you could be mine just for the night but something about this just doesnt seem right Come to find all along id been feeding you lies like american cheese so we say goodbye Watching the dreaming and beating my chest a process so processed we're all unimpressed. You can just keep that old smoke ring I cant act like I just lost anything. For whatever it's worth im not breaking but for whatever reason you got me shaking i wont let you bring me down i might i got my walls raised high im still fighting you could be mine just for the night but something about this just doesnt seem right youve been trying to see right through me but youve been looking all wrong I wear a window on my chest, but youve been staring at the mirror on my palm tick tock tick tock time is running out. if youre not ready to die, then youre gonna have to shout Id say it's pretty clear you gotta quit asking for more 'cause you dont know what you want.
