lyrics

You were down
On your luck
You were down on your knees
More than anyone needs to be

But you got up
And you threw a punch in the air
You said
"I don't care
I don't care
I don't care
I deny reality
Any claim on me!"

You woke up
In a pool of blood and sweat
Then you woke up for real it was only wet
In your bed
It was the color of colorlessness
It was not red
Come to think those sheets are Venus blue
Well you think that blood is blue
I've got news for you
What's in your veins
It's all the same as mine
All the same
All the same
All the same

All aboard for the ride of your life
"Wouldn't it be nice?"

When you were born
It kind of just seemed like you stopped being dead
And even this will end

Have no fear
For the love love love
That brought you to the ground
Though it seems so sad to be around
Sometimes
Sometimes!
