Lethargy 05:46
Lethargy on the longer days of summer Entropy, any more, would be a bummer I don't need to know who you are Or how you garnered that scar Truth to be told I have swayed in your breeze And secretly loved you all this time But I don't need to know who you are I don't need to know who you are I don't need to know who you are Lethargy on the longer days of summer Empathy, any more, would make it dumber I don't need to know who you are Or why you travelled so far My love is fluid and deep as the seas That circle me, and will you, in time But I don't need to know who you are I don't need to know who you are I don't need to know who you are

Once I believed in true love That everything worked out for the best I could see the good in anything But lately things have changed Life has dealt me a different hand No sense in foolin' myself You can have every beat o' my heart if you want it You can have every beat o' my heart if you want it Every dry throat Every staggered breath Every sweaty brow I don't need 'em no more, no more But if I keep my head above the waves, it'll be alright You can have every tear from my eye if you want it You can have every tear from my eye if you want it Every stomach clench Every heartache Every sleepless night I don't need 'em no more, no more But if I keep my head above the shit, it'll be alright You can take every inch of my love if you want it You can take every inch of my love if you want it Every nervous kiss Every one-night stand Every death-do-us-part I don't need 'em no more, no more But if I keep my head above the shit, it'll be alright, yeah But if I keep my head above the shit, it'll be alright, yeah But if I keep my head above the shit, it'll be alright

Plain as day for any who can see it Good folks got their asses in a sling Before it gets much better, it'll get a whole lot worse Come on, all you Jesuses, we got a song to sing Staring at disaster through a window Popcorn at the ready, just in case If someone don't do somethin', it could all go straight to hell Come on, all you Jesuses, we got a show to play Oh, it sure looks like we showed 'em Decent folk are tryin' to be brave We can only pray that, that it does a lick of good Come on, all you Jesuses, we got a world to save We got a world to save We got a world to save We got a world to save

I've bitten off my tongue I've eaten all my young Begonia I've scraped off all my skin I've shattered both my shins Begonia Turn the pages to the end You'll just have to start again Don't you worry about your fate The rest will have to wait Everything's just jake I'll die with my mistakes Begonia Yeah, that's what you heard I had to choose a word Begonia Turn the pages to the end You'll just have to start again Don't you worry about your fate The rest will have to wait This old soul of mine Has seen a lot of time, has seen a lot of time This old soul of mine Has seen a lot of time, has seen a lot of time If I metered out the years, would I find something worth searching for? Is it even worth a try, or should I let it go? This old soul of mine Has seen a lot of time, has seen a lot of time This old soul of mine Has seen a lot of time, has seen a lot of If I metered out the years, would I find something worth searching for? Is it even worth a try, or should I let it go? I've bitten off my tongue I've eaten all my young Begonia Begonia
