HOW TO SURVIVE (And Stay Good)

Part of every generation
Fears the best times are all in the past.
And we live inside reflection
Forever hoping that the bad ties don’t last.

The last true believers
Have come to relieve us,
But you’ll have to wait in line.
You can choose fantasy,
I’ll take reality.
Works for me every time.

Through layers of chaos
And absent-minded collisions
Where everything’s supposed to mean something.
In a bright-tile world of bruises and Band Aids,
All I know is I know nothing

Chorus:
If I could show you, I would
How to survive and stay good.
We all need to be drifters
And everyday grifters, knowing
We’re here but a short moment in time,
Gone in the blink of an eye.

In the cage of our mortality
Where more questions than actions reside.
What remains will be our legacy,
Far beyond wishful thinking or pride.

The last true believers
Ain’t gonna relieve us
No, you’ll have to draw your own lines.
It’s what happens when fantasy
Meets with reality.

Chorus

Repeat chorus.
