Lyrics

Plan A was ask for help, I screamed my truth up to the sky
The world just stared and handed me a pamphlet on to try
Plan B was be the best, a perfect pillar, strong and tall
The king just bled and no one even seemed to see him fall
Plan C was change the game, a chaos-monkey, clever, and so grand
But the rules don't bend for just one man who doesn't understand
Plan D was disappear, I wore the mask and played the part
The fire's still inside me, and it's tearing me apart
Plan E was explain it all, with songs and charts and brilliant prose
They couldn't hear the signal through the static and the noise
Plan F was fight them all, I let the dragon start to roar
It only burned my own damn house and left me wanting more
'Cause plan I was simple, just a single, lonely line
A perfect, straight, and selfish world of me, myself, and mine
But a J is just an I that learned to bend and find a hook
The kind of clever, simple truth you never find in a book
So I took my lonely story, gave the ending a new twist
And that's the day that plan J started, and I knew that I'd exist
Plan G was give it up, accept the world is what it is
But a stubborn little boy inside said, this ain't how we live
Plan H was hold on tight, a white-knuckled, stoic man
Until I saw my bleeding hands and knew I never can
And so I got to thinking 'bout the letters and the sound
And all the stupid, broken, perfect plans that I have found
'Cause plan I was simple, just a single, lonely line
A perfect, straight, and selfish world of me, myself, and mine
But a J is just an I that learned to bend and find a hook
The kind of clever, simple truth you never find in a book
So I took my lonely story, gave the ending a new twist
And that's the day that plan J started, and I knew that I'd exist
The point was not the letter, it's the learning how to write
It's the beauty of the failure, it's the glory of the fight
It's a hymn to all the letters that I haven't gotten to
The only plan that matters is the one that's true to you
Yeah, the only plan that matters is the one that's true to you!
I ran through all the others, in a twenty-letter blur
Hit plan Z, it fell apart, just like the others were
The engine seized, the screen went black, the final bell had rung
The story of the lonely god was over and was done
Yeah
Plan double A, then!
