I was born to Sing with the birds in the daylight But I found midnight instead Then wanting That harpy she found me And everything looks better From her point of view I grew up with The banshees of summer Howlin’ through my window Their screams put me to sleep There magic, a story Words that needed working The pages stuck together And the ink it stains my hands Shade Keep me from this weather My blood runs greener And I’d rather live in Palaces, Homes Pain Keep me on the level I’ll keep on writing scripts darker I’d rather work in Palaces, Homes I was raised To keep impossible out of mind A place lost to the children But to see it gives me chills And makes me wonder if it’s Possible said wrong I was told To be what I wanted to be So I sought out my futures Teachers, doctors, creatures And some futures I should have never Seen at all Shade Keep me from this weather My blood runs greener And I’d rather live in Palaces, Homes Pain Keep me on the level I’ll keep on writing scripts darker I’d rather work in Palaces, Homes Oh, oh Shade Keep me from this weather My blood runs greener And I’d rather live in Palaces, Homes Pain Keep me on the level I’ll keep on writing scripts darker I’d rather work in Palaces, Shade Keep me from this weather My blood runs greener And I’d rather live in Palaces, Homes Pain Keep me on the level I’ll keep on writing scripts darker I’d rather work in Palaces, Homes

Picnic Pt. 1 01:33
Let’s stay on this ride I lost my voice shouting Let’s stay on this ride I lost my voice shouting You scream too You left your voice behind you Let’s catch a cab No I don’t want directions Let’s catch a cab No I don’t want directions Do you? Can you say that you do? And it’s hard, hard, hard To die When you’ve got so much left to prove

Picnic Pt. 2 03:24
Let’s go to Mars Take an impossible journey Let’s go to Mars Take an impossible journey Just me and you It will be better when it’s true Let’s hold a parade With the summer before us Let’s hold a parade With the summer before us We’ll walk in twos The kids will walk with us through And it’s hard, hard, hard To walk in line Without shoes Light the candles It’s an anniversary Not for a wedding But when school turned into Splashing streams You always said this was your dream Shovels up child Digging holes for mud to fill A perfect purpose Demand to change What land has built A picnic spread out on a quilt And it’s hard, hard, hard to change your mind It’s hard, hard, hard to change your mind It’s hard, hard, hard to change your mind In your youth

If I could spit from the rooftops If I could put my mistakes down to haste I’d strip all my rhymes to their reasons And all of my love down to a single face Think of a number, now make up another I’ll guess until I get it wrong I’m my grandfathers tricks with new time to shine in And I’ve never been curious long Oh Woo-ooh-ooh I’m buried shallow I’m diggin’ myself three feet in A plot to narrow I guess I’ll just lay on top of it If I say your name I mean another A kiss remains, I’ll call you brother If there’s eyes that haunt you, look towards the sun The blind can lead the blind, after the heartbroke run Oh Woo-ooh-ooh
