Countdown

Countdown unless you're juvenile let's go
God bless your miss somewhere
We're sick for the big sun
It doesn't matter what you did
And if you did it like you been told
True and everlasting that's what you want
True and everlasting that's what you want
Don't say no your breakfast tears are gone
Resist or let go, you're borderline withdrawn
Down, unlit from the bottom there is a misfit
Better than it looks, better than it looks
Better than it looks, better than it looks
We're sick, sick, sick, sick, sick,
sick, sick, sick, sick, sick, sick
We're sick for the big sun
We rumble and trip, trip, trip, trip, trip, trip, trip
I realize that too
Hear the lonesome bell, is this knowledge?
Ask forgiveness you know somewhere
You're fixed to an atom
It doesn't matter what you did
And if you did it right let's go
Cruel and everlasting that's what you want
Cruel and everlasting that's what you want
Don't say no your breakfast tears are gone
Do you remember when 21 years was old?
Down unlit does it matters that you care the less?
Better than it looks, better than it looks
Better than it looks, better than it looks
We're sick, sick, sick, sick, sick,
sick, sick, sick, sick, sick, sick
We're sick for the big sun
We rumble and trip, trip, trip, trip, trip, trip, trip
I realize that too
True and everlasting, it didn't last that long...
We're the lonesome, we're the lonesome yell
True and everlasting, it didn't last that long
True and everlasting, it didn't last that long...
We're the lonesome, we're the lonesome yell
True and everlasting, it didn't last that long
We're the lonesome, we're the lonesome
