Bad Old Days

Gotta hold your breath
Gotta count to len
Gotta close your eyes
To see the light
Inside your head
Gotta take that trash
Inside of my heart
Recycle it
Turn that shit into art
I'm gonna give up on the past
Cause it don't give nothing back

Let the bad old days burn away
Til the blue skies rise like tidal waves
See the marching bands waving flags
For the broken hearted on parade
Time is wasting
Life is waiting
Like a treasure for the taking

Do we all get stoned
By our mistakes?
When you try to swim
With those rocks
It's a deadly weight
There's a ruin buried in your chest
Gotta roll your sleeves and rescue it
If you're ever gonna love again
If you're ever gonna catch that wind
You gotta give up on the past
Cause it don't give nothing back
I'm gonna give up on the past
Cause it don't give nothing back

Let the bad old days burn away
Til the blue skies rise like tidal waves
See the marching bands waving flags
For the broken hearted on parade
Time is wasting
Life is waiting
Like a treasure for the taking

(Bridge)

I'm gonna give up on the past
Cause it don't give nothing back

Let the bad old days burn away
Til the blue skies rise like tidal waves
See the marching bands waving flags
For the broken hearted on parade
Time is wasting
Life is waiting
Like a treasure for the taking
