[Verse 1]

Even my kinfolk caught the syndrome

Time dwindles, it's that simple

Read the signal, see the swindle

See the cycle turn like twelve inch vinyl single

Treat a ceiling like a glass window

Put it on smash like a crash symbol

And let what's broke hit the ground

Everybody get down

[Hook]

Get it, go get it

It's all there for you, no kidding

Get it, go get it

If you want it don't waste those minutes

Get it, live it, 'til it's finished

Go get it ain't nothin' infinit'

Time keeps ticking and

The world keeps spinnin'

Tomorrow ain't promised

Today's just a visit

Hey you, looking like you're way past due

Don't let the days pass you

Dedicate, make your way through that zoo

And the path you take got to pave that too

Hey you, there's those who want and those who do

Push it until the screws come loose

Got to draw that line, stand up high, pursue

And the end of your life how the time just flew

[Verse 2]

Sounds like the message held true

Too much, and ain't no Midas touch, so what it do?

I don't believe in luck

I'm digging for fire until my time is up

How about you?

Got to take that old and make that new

Be that pin, push that round

Go for yours there ain't no time like now

Everybody get down

[Hook]

Get it, go get it

It's all there for you, no kidding

Get it, go get it

If you want it don't waste those minutes

Get it, live it, 'til it's finished

Go get it ain't nothin' infinit'

Time keeps ticking and

The world keeps spinnin'

Tomorrow ain't promised

Today's just a visit

Hey you, looking like you're way past due

Don't let the days pass you

Be that pin, push that round, make that sound

Everybody get down

Before your time runs out

Come on now, come on now

Dig it up, hands in the ground

Everybody get down

Wednesday, 4:42

Pick up my phone, but they're calling for you

Said it was a six-point match

Hurry up girl we got a train to catch

Pace back and forth, heart hit the cold floor

She's in the OR, 4 AM

For the first time in my life, I pray that night

While she was under the knife

Sweat, fears, tears, suspense

Success, 'til the organ rejects

And the silence swells, beside ourselves

Waitin' for the count on them Islet Cells

Dreams of the most violent kind

While those cytokines attack her lungs

Then she stop breathin'

Into the ICU

In go the breathing and feeding tubes

Drownin' quiet

My girl's in a coma during Blowout Three

And when she woke, she thought she was dead

That thought plagues my head

So damn all the demerol to hell

Face to face with the devil himself

Or god at her most masochistic

It's prolly neither, prolly came from the ether

The Abyss of randomness

It's all in sequence, ain't no defence

Ain't no game plan

Gotta keep swimmin'

Try, to keep yo' head above the tide

But there's sharks in the water

Hope they don't notice us

As the waves wash over us

Ain't nobody watchin' over us

This is leg versus undertow, ain't gon' let her go

Believe in life like I believe in death, yeah

I ain't ready for hers just yet

And I can't believe in what I can't see

See, that's just my nature

So picture me pleading with my maker

Like god, please save her

Or if you're gonna take her just take her

Save her from the terror that breaks her

She's tryin' to stare down the ocean

I'm tryin' to stare down the ocean

We're tryin' to stare down the ocean

You try to stare down in the ocean

She's tryin' to stare down the ocean

I'm tryin' to stare down the ocean

We're tryin' to stand out in the ocean

You try and stare that down, c'mon

So nonchalant

Do your days and your nights just, haunt

Up all night 'cause the dreams just talk

And all this while that we ride in this bus

And sit and wonder if God is laughin' at us, like

Back to the scene, back to 6Bs

Stacks of IVs, amitriptyline

Thymoglobulin, OKT3

And it's all out of my hands, right

Blood clotted hopped up on Dilaudid

When I can't to nothin' stop that, and

That's what kills me the most, I suppose

Froze, breathing tube down her throat

So damn all the damerol to hell

Tryna' swim out with an anvil on her belt

And I burst with love

Burst with fear

And the birds just circlin' 'bove 'round here

She's tryna' stare it down

I'm tryna' stare it down

We're tryna' stare it down

And it wears her out, where's that ground

She's tryna' stare it down

I'm tryna' stare it down

We're just tryna' stare it down

And it wears her out, where's her crown

Last night I had visions of us

Floatin' away

The birds on your shoulders, liften' you out

You're my girl, I'm your man

I'll find you wherever you land

Eye of the sparrow

Straight down the barrel

Ain't no place to hide out

Through the rocks, and the narrows

We can ride the tide out

[Outro]

She's tryna' stare it down

She's tryna' stare down in the ocean

I'm tryna' stare down the ocean

She's tryna' stare down the ocean

I'm tryna' stare down the ocean

We're tryna' stare down the ocean

She's tryna stare it down

Tryna' stare it down
