Answers they preach
Wasting their time
No second chance
To live this...
Thirty kids outside and we’re just about to play
A minivan pulls up and two prophets hop out to say
“Repent your sins
Get on your knees and pray
‘Cause our god is the only way”
And all that I could think is the only thing that’s sure is doubt
‘Cause that’s about the only thing we can depend on
So if you want security, no, you won’t find that here with me
And still our time is tick-tocking away
A brief existence and then throw our bodies in a grave
And then what next?
We each have what we believe
But who knows which way it’s gonna be
And all that I proclaim is the only thing that’s sure is doubt ‘Cause that’s about the only thing we can depend on
But if you need an insurance plan, then I think their god will be your man
Answers they preach
Wasting their time
No second chance
To live this life
No chance to make this right when we’re wasting time
Yeah, theorize and proselytize, but don’t forget about this life
Wasting your time
It’s really hard to find meaning when
answers are the only thing you see

“If it gets you anything, it’s nothing
And what’s there will leave in time”
Go away
“The time and effort that you put in is just part of your life wasted”
I long to forget these words and do what I want to do
I will not forgo my dreams and what they mean to me
“There’s no living where you’re going You’ll just die a quicker death
This is not the life we intended for you” Then what was it?
“Or anyone sensible, responsible” Do I have to, too?
I long to forget these words and do what I want to do
I’ll get there all on my own because you’ve never been there
So fuck you two
So fuck you, too
I hope that you understand that I’ll never follow your plans

My words always lose their meaning ‘cause I talk to much
Yours were always too profound ‘cause silence was your crutch
“Don’t worry,” you said, “life is too short and you’re too serious”
I will always be half-hearted just because you're not what I can’t have
If I told the whole truth now, it would ruin everything I ever said
One more half-lie to justify, I’ll twist the truth until I’m dead
And we fell through the threshold last night
One day closer to dying and one more old man here to say,
“Don’t waste your life away”
I looked back with such disdain at 20 years gone down the drain
Two decades of all my shit drowned out my newfound impetus
Every day I treaded life, you got swept up in my tide
How do I apologize for ruining our lives?
