I'll Be Around

Yes, I'm only a man

Judgements of something ancient

Clocking my time as finished

The same as all replacements

Ignorance is complacency

Why are you purposely faded?

No stand, no sit, no stopping

Ripping through the neon prophecies

Got let off by a ticket stub

My time is fading fast

Through your mouth and out your

(You never do what you say)

Say what?

(Shine till the sun comes up)

Come down

(You oughta wash your hands and pray)

For what?

(Shaking hands, swapping dirty blood)

Pass it around

(You never do what you say)

Say what?

(Shine till the sun comes up)

For now

(promise that you'll come around?)

I'll be around

So I feel, but I don't know what it is

So, I want, but I pretend I don't need

So, here's the pain of a stubbled lover's kiss

I throw my pages all away like shaking wrists

So shake me down

(Shake me up, shake me down, shake me down, shake me down)

(Shake me up, shake me down, shake me down,  shake me up)

So, shake me up

(You never do what you say)

Say what?

(Shine till the sun comes up)

Hey now

(You oughta wash your hands and pray)

For what?

(Shaking hands, swapping dirty blood)

Pass it around

(You better do what you say)

Say what?

(Shine till the sun comes up)

Come down

(promise that you'll come around?)

I'll be around

I tell me, it ain't hard

As I hold my breath, it ain't right

Tell me to my beating heart

That I know for sure

Better than I can know for sure

What it did

My mistakes bend like paper metal

I never know just what will come

Don't be sad, our hands bind together

Re-live in my children

Longer than it should

Give 'em what I am given

Forever

(You never do what you say)

Say what?

(Shine till the sun comes up)

Come down

(You oughta wash your hands and pray)

For what?

(Shaking hands, swapping dirty blood)

Pass it around

(You better do what you say)

Say what?

(Shine till the sun comes up)

And down

(promise that you'll come around?)
