The greatest joke you don't explain
The choke of laughing has left you half hanged
The moment comes and goes but most the day is slow

Good, bad or just getting worse
A sea of faceless murmurs
The crowd likes you like their kid brother

Can't you feel it spilling out the sides?
The need for change you can't quite define
Hey now, don't take it to the heart
Hang down and sing:

Why live when you can die?
Why live when you can die?

Your shining savior walks beside you
Scuffing your new hallway in black soled shoes
The model never worked, the "life size" crashed and burned

Good, bad it's just getting worse
The days don't hold me closely
But the matte blue of a clear sky is crippling

Can't you feel it spilling out the sides?
The need for change you can't quite define
Hey now, don't take it to the heart
Hang down and sing:

Why live when you can die?
Why live when you can die?
Yeah!

There's not a better night

So take this perfect moment, few and far between
I'm nothing but young possibilities
And still I'm tied to the tracks of being anything

The clock in your room says 11:11
Kiss your pointer finger and press against it

'Cause false hope is true heaven
Your false hope is my true heaven
'Cause false hope is true heaven (False hope)
Your false hope is my true heaven (True heaven)

It'd be a good show if I didn't already know the joke

Can't you feel it spilling out the sides?
The need for change you can't quite define
Hey now, don't take it to the heart
Hang down and sing:

Why live when you can die?
Why live when you can die?
Why live when you can die?
Why live when you can die?
Why live when you can die?
Why live when you can...die?!
