The greatest joke you don't explain The choke of laughing has left you half hanged The moment comes and goes but most the day is slow Good, bad or just getting worse A sea of faceless murmurs The crowd likes you like their kid brother Can't you feel it spilling out the sides? The need for change you can't quite define Hey now, don't take it to the heart Hang down and sing: Why live when you can die? Why live when you can die? Your shining savior walks beside you Scuffing your new hallway in black soled shoes The model never worked, the "life size" crashed and burned Good, bad it's just getting worse The days don't hold me closely But the matte blue of a clear sky is crippling Can't you feel it spilling out the sides? The need for change you can't quite define Hey now, don't take it to the heart Hang down and sing: Why live when you can die? Why live when you can die? Yeah! There's not a better night So take this perfect moment, few and far between I'm nothing but young possibilities And still I'm tied to the tracks of being anything The clock in your room says 11:11 Kiss your pointer finger and press against it 'Cause false hope is true heaven Your false hope is my true heaven 'Cause false hope is true heaven (False hope) Your false hope is my true heaven (True heaven) It'd be a good show if I didn't already know the joke Can't you feel it spilling out the sides? The need for change you can't quite define Hey now, don't take it to the heart Hang down and sing: Why live when you can die? Why live when you can die? Why live when you can die? Why live when you can die? Why live when you can die? Why live when you can...die?!
