Scratching at the Lid

Disappearing in the snow of a terrible year Survive and thrive the rest is best to keep yourself They send you your way Sun's up, skip outside Not quite an orphan, stranded and alone But they really loved you and you knew it too, no need to run away Hard work, middle grades Knock, knock opportunity opened up the door A noisy head is fed with great calamity, today is not the day Can't fight gravity Did you really want a first communion? A church inside the windmill of your little mind It's not a place to pray Fall down, open wide What will you say when they put you in the ground? Scratching at the lid as the box goes down? You threw it all away, away I can see the father staring from the mirror A crooked look is all it took to set you off, you threw it all away Nice try, step aside 'Cause great things happen, so give yourself a break Wonders never cease I see them everywhere, don't throw it all away Sun's out, come alive Try not to think about the path you took Roads not taken disappear a memory Don't think about today Don't blink, make it pay We never leave a trace of where we began Only good for one ride on the carousel We only turn around Good luck, double down What will you say when they put you in the ground? Scratching at the lid as the box goes down? You threw it all away, away
