Verse 1 Those special days That I fail to recollect. Had no problems, had no worries. Now our happiness has been stripped. Down to its simplest terms Down to the pub at nine. But we’ll be just fine. (Right?) Chorus 1 Now that the time has flown It’s left the wax still melting Now that the days are gone I’m breathing underwater Time will continue on Nostalgia's never ending While at the Parthenon Those days will just get better Verse 2 “Mediocre at best” That’s any story of adulthood, When you wake up and realize, Things will always make you stressed. “Mediocre at best” A tribute to teenage death, A symptom many of us kept, Under grey hoods Through coffee stained breath. (If you or a loved one is suffering from senioritis, you may be entitled to financial aid compensation) Chorus 2 Now that the time has flown It’s left the wax still melting Now that the days are gone I’m breathing underwater Time will continue on Nostalgia's never ending While at the Parthenon Those days will just get better Verse 3 “I can't complain” Isn't that the truth? Nothing is too wrong But you’re nailed to the roof “Things aren't the same” I really can relate Some people are alright With being an empty plate Bridge Chorus 3 Now that the time has flown We take the bill and pay it Now that the days are gone We’re put in cardboard boxes Time will continue on A wall of separation While at the Parthenon And I’ve forgot my wallet

Verse 1: I’m sliced apart down the middle not stuck in it. Innocence passed like yesterday’s leftovers. My parents always said I had a thin skin. Has my leather gone and bounced? Or was everything always rotten? Chorus 1: Meats Verse 2: This hide is swept away from the checker floor. The chopping block is prepped and ready. I’m carted in through the kitchen doors. Life’s a pub and i’m the main course. Chorus 2: Meats Verse 3: Once a diner, never a cook. My cut is too spoilt to hang on a hook. I lack the confidence to work the oven. And the maggots have devoured the meat. Bridge: Shank. Chuck. Brisket. Flank. Rib. Plate. Hide. My fate.

Verse 1: Mom and Dad said TV screens would only my brain But I think it’s the only thing that could have kept me sane Instead feeling sunshine I’d be in a different place But most of my adventures were in space - I was Cosmic Defender flying in my UFO And never looking back to all the places I would go I’d fly to different planets passing Jupiter and Mars I go to places that would seem so far! Chorus 1: Cosmic Defender! Cosmic Defender! Verse 2: There hasn’t been a planet that I haven’t been to yet To me I was an astronaut to mom a space Cadette I’d never stay too focused, never there to stay They tried to pull me down to earth but I’m too far away - I was the greatest pilot flying through the shooting stars But now those days just seem to be so far! Chorus 2: Cosmic Defender! Cosmic Defender! Verse 2: I’m living in the cosmos, I know that they would be proud But they would want me to get my old head out of the clouds My childhood is burning like the end of a cigar But I think that I’ve made it well so far! Chorus 2: Cosmic Defender! Cosmic Defender!

Take my hand, sing a song, play along, let it all out now. You’re not the only one who fears me. (Leave me alone!) (Hush baby, it’s okay. Nobody’s going to hurt you.) Verse 1: Tell me, what do you see? Is there life in your eyes? Should I be surprised? Hush my baby, don’t you cry, What keeps you awake tonight? Go on now, don’t be afraid. The whole world is waiting for you. (No!) Tell me, what do you feel? Is there something you want to say? (NO! Leave me alone!) What is your story, Is there something you want to say? Verse 2: While they were all running away (Yes, I did it!) From innocence and harmony (Childlike scream) I was holding on desperately (Hold me!) To the child I once knew, but it’s time to say (Mama!!!!!) Chorus 1: Goodbye juvenility. (Save me!) Our purity has passed, those days are long gone now. (Save me!) I’m not sure I’m ready for the real world. I want some obscurity now. It’s all hit me too quickly. (50’s narrator: welcome to the real world, son) Goodbye Goodbye Goodbye Goodbye Goodbye Goodbye Goodbye Goodbye (Ready! Aim! Fire!) (Mark! Set!) Goodbye juvenili–

Verse 1: I finally got out of my parents place I left on a crazy whim I didn't think I’d make it this far but if you don’t sink you swim I’m out the door I gotta get on my feet And crammed into a college dorm I guess I’ll go outside for a little bit And go make myself informed.

I just have the slightest feeling I’m stuck in a falling ceiling And like that I need to go in hide (Shit) Verse 2: I gotta go and make something of myself Before they take a second look But I get more sat-is-fac-tion from just Watching my ramen cook But people say all isolation will do is Just make you a waste of space The only thing that I am concerned about Is how my ramen noodles taste.
