Hey You

[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
