A Silly Song

[Verse 1]
If I were a liar
I'd always have the truth
Buried in the words I'd live and learn
And if I were a breather
I'd breathe the dust of entropy
Hoping to understand all your concern

[PreChorus 1]
But I won't listen to the
Song that plays when
Every little thing
Is hiding happily in its cage

[Chorus]
It's a tragedy the way it carries me
But it's all that I need
So what are the odds
You'll find a new me inside

[Verse 2]
If I were a dreamer
I would waste the night away
Hoping that I'm never told the truth
And if I were a singer
I would sing such silly songs
Like the ones that led me through my youth

[PreChorus 2]
But I'll forget them
Like the love I once shared
'Cause it's never done any good for me
My victims all were spared

[Chorus]
It's a tragedy the way it carries me
But it's all that I need
So what are the odds
You'll find a new me inside
I never saw the light, never realized
That I was hiding beneath
My shadowy eyes
I'm fine, I'll stay awake through the night

[Bridge]
Tick tock, your wait is over
Your peace of mind is a four-leaf clover
A plastic wedding ring
An ocean breeze
And the sun's fluorescent memories
It's not your friend
It's never been your friend

[Chorus]
It's a tragedy the way it clings to me
I was hoping that peace
Would finally find
The empty cave in the side of my mind

[Chorus]
It's a tragedy the way it carries me
But it's all that I need
So what are the odds
You'll find a new me inside
I never saw the light, never realized
That I was hiding beneath
My shadowy eyes
I'm fine, I promise
I'm fine; don't ask me
It's alright
I'll stay awake through the night
