[00:00.48] No one is invincible
[00:02.12] No one is immortal
[00:03.26] These are the rules
[00:05.14]
[00:07.09] Fireworks have scared me shitless
[00:08.82] For three years now
[00:10.34] Easier to blame it on neuroses than admit
[00:12.37] That everything loud and sudden scares me
[00:14.73] But I found out that I still love the sight of them
[00:18.22]
[00:18.99] When the light of the setting September sun
[00:21.16] Came through the leaves in scattered shards
[00:23.35] I was driving down the highway with my secrets
[00:26.26] No one is invincible
[00:28.91] No one is immortal
[00:30.93]
[00:33.21] This time of year always reminds me of mitch
[00:35.79] At noon in the shade theres still dew on the grass
[00:38.87] The leaves are trying on the coats
[00:40.82] They'll wear to their funerals and without knowing it
[00:43.39] As if its coded into me
[00:45.05] I start to listen to people without end
[00:47.30] The ways in which one leaves a place
[00:50.06] And the way a ghost becomes a part of you
[00:54.21] And some days this reminds me
[00:56.01] More of kyle than anything else
[00:58.05] And the times we spent wishing for the past
[01:00.53] I think I'm through with that now
[01:02.39] I've got holes in me big enough that sometimes
[01:04.76] I can barely stay afloat
[01:06.67] But I'm starting to find that
[01:07.86] Nothingness has the potential to be filled
[01:10.87] With anything that our minds can imagine
[01:14.09]
[01:18.92] Everyone heres story has been
[01:20.49] Everyone heres story since the big bang
[01:23.45] And I'm not talking about your parents f**king
[01:26.06] Or their parents parents parents f**king
[01:28.80] I'm talking about that fact
[01:29.87] That the things inside of you
[01:31.61] The ones that matter
[01:32.67] Cannot be created or destroyed anymore
[01:35.65] Not since this universe started
[01:37.38] And not until it f**king ends
[01:39.74] That's how long were going to live
[01:42.20] So when my body chooses to become something more
[01:45.27] Burn it
[01:46.09] Let the liquid in me dry up
[01:48.28] Let it crack like the leaves coming through
[01:50.39] The driveway of the house I grew up in
[01:52.76] Divide me among the people I've loved
[01:54.57] And ask them this
[01:56.53]
[01:58.98] On the day they find a place
[02:01.50] Where stars are safe from everything
[02:03.61] But the brightness of the moon
[02:05.69] Scatter my ashes there so that from
[02:08.72] Which I came can witness that which I've become
[02:11.96]
[02:13.07] No one is invincible
[02:16.04] Everyones immortal
[02:18.24]
[02:19.52] No one is invincible
[02:22.16]
[02:23.32] Everyones immortal
[02:25.60]
[03:21.44] If false and naive ideals will keep us working
[03:32.89]
[03:34.15] Sustained by people like you
[03:39.98]
[03:40.65] Like a televised old story
[03:45.88]
[03:48.29] Maybe that is what one is meant to have
[03:58.84]
[04:01.31] Sucking from the maimed and the crazed
