Hey You

Lyrics

[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
