lyrics

Just an ordinary
Unextraordinary
Kindred hearted man
And I cannot find my way back home

Man I bit the dust
Cut myself on some rust
And bit the bullet
To fire it I couldn't trust myself

When we were young and we were bold
And stupid way back then
Nothing to stop our fate
Nothing to start some hate
Nobody to spit in your face
No calling you a disgrace
No trying to win the race
No feeling out of place

And it's warm outside
The sun's shining

And it's cold inside
Nobody to warm your broken heart

For who am I to question reality
And sing a lullaby
And sit in purgatory
And write a silly story
About the ones who lived before
They loved
And shoved
They dated
And hated
And killed
And willed
The world unto our generations

Hey how you doing oh I am doing just fine
Pushing everyday to try to survive
Cuz if I don't you know I might just die
The tragedy's how I'm feeling inside

Cuz when I'm with you you know I feel alive
But when you're gone you know I just wanna die
I just wanna die

I wanna die
See you in the afterlife

For who am I to question reality
And sing a lullaby
And sit in purgatory
And write a silly story
About the ones who lived before
They loved
And shoved
They dated
And hated
And killed
And willed
The world unto our generations

They loved
And shoved
They dated
And hated
And killed
And willed
The world unto our generations
