A Funny Masterpiece

One thing about a selfish heart
It'll bring you a certain kind of sadness
In your eyes

And all that's familiar must go
Like the dawn moon and it's Hazel
Afterglow

Hhhmmm

A mother sings on a front porch swing
You are my sunshine
You're my everything

But all I could see
Were shadows,
Shadows of a masterpiece

Hhhmmm
hhmmmmm

With your wings
Clipped by the kings
And a nest full of diamonds and dangerous things
In the dark of night
You command everything
In the dark of night
You hear every scream
As a marching band moves end-less
Like the slow dance of a river
A mighty mighty river

If I knew who I wanted to be
Would I waste so much time, wasted being Me
But I'm not gonna let you see

California couldn't fix me
The northwest didn't miss me
And Texas, Texas you're breaking my heart




Inside a truck stop
Or maybe AA
Or Outside of Denver
I heard someone say
If you're lonely get a dog
If you're broke get a job
Find religion if you believe in hell
Find God, if you've already been there

Lalalala

If youre looking for the living
and the night is unforgiving
And you notice the mountains seem satisfied
Some horses you cannot ride
And some oceans they cannot die
They just break against the sand
And they do it, over and over and over again
And again and again and again

And again and again
And again and again
And again and again
And again and again
And again and again
And again and again
And again and again
And again and again
And again and again
And again and again

In my final gasp of glory days
Have I missed my window
To do something great
Or is being steady
a greater fate

If the kid in me only knew
No clouds too thick, for the lighting to break through
And every breathe I drew was new
And every arrow was broken in two
I'll disarm you with a smile
And a crazy Kindness

Lalala. Lalala
Lalala. lalala
Lalala. Lalala
Lalala. lalala
Lalala. lalala

One thing about a heart grown full
I'd rather be sentimental than be cynical

And don't let the night time fool you
And don't let the sunshine rule you
And don't let a good thing scare you away

Now I'll lay my head down beside you
And let the light, let the light
Wake us up
Let the light wake us up
Let the light wake us up

Nanana
Nananana
Nanana

It's a good day, for a selfish heart
To burn like the hazel glow
Of an afterthought
