Plan for Us 03:55
I was born with an unhealthy brain And I thought I would come out of this Feeling sorry to have lived What was this mental plan for us That suddenly came on Did I forget just to trust In how much I need you now And given the person I am ‘Till I’m underground I was wrong Love isn’t designed to die What was this mental plan for us That suddenly came on Did I forget just to trust In how much I need you now And given the person I am ‘Till I’m underground “Do you really want this?” I know, what kind of a question is that I should have known better than to doubt you For every second you fought back Against the part of me that wanted tragedy But you stayed anyway What was this mental plan for us That suddenly came on Did I forget just to trust In how much I need you now And given the person I am ‘Till I’m underground

You try to be more healthy And buy more fruit Less coke You try to be clean But you know that’ll never work You gotta love then die And there isn’t anywhere close to enough time If you’re down on your luck Remember your eyes never change their size You’re seeing the world Through the same lens As when you were a child Things just got heavy You gotta love then die And there isn’t anywhere close to enough time

I know I can’t win this battle alone But I stay at home I haven’t felt bliss since I mistook it for loneliness Did I think I’d feel your sympathy When I’m without brain activity Did I think I’d win your sympathy When I’m without brain activity Colour in my greying name It just hasn’t been the same I love both of us in the frame So don’t ever contract this shame Did I think I’d feel your sympathy When I’m without brain activity Did I think I’d win your sympathy When I’m without brain activity Dead eyes are no prize I’m underwater and I can breathe fine But I can’t get moving And I need to make up for lost time I’m underwater and up on the rocks And the only roadblock Is the one that I keep in my thick skull Did I think I’d feel your sympathy When I’m without brain activity Did I think I’d win your sympathy When I’m without brain activity Dead eyes are no prize

I’ve been trying to be numb ‘Cause my life is eternally living in the trunk Only feeling the bumps I’ve been trying to be numb ‘Cause everything that should make me happy just makes me ill Can’t find a way to deserve it still I’m clearly obsessed with my demise ‘Cause I’ll take every step to get there Intentionally or otherwise Another misdirected prayer this time Maybe I need help We’ve been saying it for years But come on over The river never runs dry here A centrifuge spun into light The consequences of an angry soul No more clarity with time I’m clearly obsessed with my demise ‘Cause I’ll take every step to get there Intentionally or otherwise Another misdirected prayer this time Maybe I need help We’ve been saying it for years But come on over The river never runs dry here

Who knew what my god had in store for me He rained down his holy pain on me He rained down fire Now I know he’s living inside Everybody knows that things get better When you go to college And everything just happens by fate Unless you’re living like me In a state of perpetual unrest Tried happiness I can’t picture heaven’s gate Who knew what my god had in store for me His holy test to find the best angels to fall I know he’s set this guide by my side I know he’s set his guide Everybody knows that things get better When you draw the map And you get on the right track And everything just falls into place Unless you’re living like me In a state of perpetual unrest Tried happiness I can’t picture heaven’s gate Content means years down the road Or maybe even tomorrow When bugs will be picking out my brain Who knew what my god had in store for me He rained down his holy pain on me He rained down fire Now I know he’s living inside

The day went black as hell Just as quickly as we fell And we didn’t say goodnight or goodbye Just scrambled to opposite sides Of the city that night And that’s how the story starts Just like any good one The day went black as hell I’m surprised that I could tell But it’s easy to see a dimming light In a pitch-black room with no end in sight And that’s how the story starts I can see that everything has changed Since day one Not as two, but as one I always knew your heart belonged to someone I just never wanted to consider the possibility That it wasn’t this one And that’s how the story starts
