all in all we are the same
our masks and makeup, we wear so similarly
 the slightest variant of our shape and sounds and color are what we cling to 

put love in your veins, in and out your lungs, it can save all of us

 all in all we are the same
 we spin our wheels and hope to get to where we think we want to be 
we're locked in the cages of our story 
and does the maker have a plan or is it just a lottery

 put love in your veins in and out your lungs can save all of us 

you're at the same place, at just a different time 
you write the same songs, with just some different rhymes

All my favorite scripts and shows imagine where our future goes and, why we're here at all. And though I feel inspired all I seem to know for sure is that I'll never really know much, at all. but you, you don't seem to mind, at all. All my favorite singers write about the way they see the world and, ways to make it better.. and though I feel inspired all I seem to think to write about is all the ways you mean the world to me... but you, you don't seem to mind, at all. All my favorite artists tried to echo moments, and hold in time the view of beauty left unnamed And though I feel inspired I can't seem to grasp much more cause you're all that my heart knows and tries to paint but you, you dont seem to mind, at all Everything is not just black or white Everything is not just wrong or right When I feel so small to the world You simply remind me, i'm not alone

she's got this vision of her self scaled skin and much colder blood she can't get out of her transparent walls she's withering under this ultra violet light how do I let her rest her heavy heart on my shoulder how do I just let her fall apart without holding her close I've been having visions of myself with pale skin and much older blood playing solitaire to pass the time 'cause no ones there at all that's so far from where I'd want to end, but I want to start with you but how do I let her know she's not alone and how do I warm the blood that's cold without keeping it close

They're nothing like the ghosts down in New Orleans they never chased the daylight across the plains even if it was all in vain they're nothing like the old souls in Memphis they're so much more dangerous they treat us like they knew like they knew us all before there's something to be said of all the angels way out here, way out here it's a shame that the sun has to set it's a shame when there's nothing left i tried to close my eyes and remember daylight but it only made it worse You're finding out there's no one here for you You're finding out, there's no one near

i went down the well/to test my lungs/ and stretch my legs/i tried to touch the floor/and make it back/in one breath/and when the water rushed inside/i did not flinch/i tried to make the most/of the experience/ i was haunted/ i went back to my neighborhood/i went through the walls/of the places i hesitated to go/before/i could not speak to anyone/but i left my mark/ the town i'm sure would not/ever be the same/ but before they knew it you were gone/you only held your breath for so long/ you held your breath/and turned away/without a word/to the crowd/they had come from all around/from all around to talk you down/ but before they knew it/you were gone/you only held your breath for so long.

I met you hungover and you try try tried to save your words you said we all just look the same I must concede that I fall in line Im just like the rest but you said you might just look me up unless I'm only trying to find a way inside you I never could quite understand how such a little girl could change my great bigplans I must concede that I never thought I'd believe my words….I made my bed so I will lie unless your trying to find your way inside me The girl don't sleep around the girl is alright with me the girl don't sleep around she's just asleep; a sleepwalker. I couldn't leave now if I tried I'm institutionalized I couldn't leave you now all on your own ohno and I made my bed so I will lie unless your try to find your way inside him
7.
I'll feed you all the lines if you just play it nice and cool there will be a camera inside so don't play me for a fool we can get away with this if you just keep your movements quick im reassured that this money isn't counterfeit oh no i think you're thinking too slow oh no never tell them your real name or what you've been up to just tell them anything but what they want to hear and you will spend the rest of your days lying in the sun you'll spend the rest of your days lying in the sun you're never gonna make it disarm the alarm so you can concentrate through this there's only two way s out so keep yourself about your wits just play along and we will all be fed if anything should go wrong just remember what I said oh no i think you're moving too slow oh no you're never gonna make it you're dead in the water you're never gonna make it just pray to your father come on come on

f we're all just simple people just trying to get around then whats with all the people trying to bring us down yeah were all so simple with just a few things on our minds the next fix or fuck or trying to find the will to leave those things behind and I asked the lord to overlook your sins and he said yeah baby that alright and i asked the lord to overlook my sins and i still haven't heard a damn thing yeah we're all so fast just trying to fill our plates and how we see our glass depends on what we just ate and I asked the lord to overlook your sins and he said yeah baby that alright and i asked the lord to overlook my sins and i still haven't heard a damn thing

You're sleeping soundly in my love You're sleeping soundly in, my love. You're making friends and making moves You're gonna dance to every groove If it ain't broken, you don't fix If it don't belong, then you don't mix You're sleeping soundly You're sleeping soundly in my love. You're sleeping soundly You're sleeping soundly in, my love. You want to see the world and be the woman from the girl When you want to stay inside You can stay and I won't mind You don't let it weigh on you In the way that most people do Cuz you're sleeping soundly You're sleeping soundly in my love. You're sleeping soundly You're sleeping soundly in, my love.

When you were just a little girl clashing socks and your natural curls your momma let you pick your clothes and do you hair you still don't care much about what you wear How can you be honest How can you stay sane How can you navigate if you can't see the terrain Settle down honey there's always room for thought You won't convince the world you're something you're not You're something you're not We're all so fast and stupid It's all so massive and lucid We're all so filled with excuses to cover the things we did
