But look!
A purple sky (a purple sky)
An orange moon (an orange moon)
Days of future past present what I was soarin’ through
Nostalgia hits walkin’ further down the dusty, dirty road
Murmurs drown the brain - must be thirty fold
All I wanted from the day was to pick apart the pieces
Put 'em together my way 'til the beat of the heart ceases
Extinguish the fires that lit these wild woods
Glean scraps of laughter to relive my childhood
I walked to the pier
Searched for shells in sheer commotion
Insert shells of life in my ear to hear the ocean
I need to hear the ocean
I need to hear the ocean
I steer my notions through my smeared emotions
We'd all go and hide from all the baseless shoving
We'd wallow and cry
We all hate this cussing
I'd follow your stride and I ain’t mistrusting
I'd swallow my pride but it tastes disgusting

Maybe I’ll catch fire
You can lay me in black attire
Let’s say we can acquire gas and blast wire
Baby, maybe I’ll catch fire
Save me from man’s desire

The purple was gone (it was gone)
Red eyes on orange horizons
Circles were drawn
Deaf mind pourin’ lies in
Not even sixteen, ruckus is the local chatter
Rock ripped jeans with fiends
Stuck up social ladders
Jumped fence to make sense of if God’s myth or fact
Dumped bunk beds to nod with the pack
Gave the blue sky true lies when I shouted to divinity
"You said I could count on you and I've counted to infinity"
My heart denies it
Somehow my brain knows
Cuttin’ down trees and all I see are cane toads
All I see are cane toads
All I see are cane toads
The pain grows until I find rainbows
My heart gently weeps
Shards mark every beat
There's no sparks left in me
Cheap scars kept me weak
Arcs carve plenty deep
The sharks charge lest we flee
Many large pesky beasts sent me in a dark, heavy sleep

Maybe I’ll catch fire
You can place me in a sad satire
My fate is to conspire for cash and sapphire
Crazy, maybe I’ll catch fire
It’s what the planet requires
Ha!

The sun rose
They dropped Agent Orange
Extraneous measures to ensure I paint the door hinge
It hangs off-balance like the pictures in my head
Slippin' off the sidewalk in the scriptures that I bled
Never made a date with Mary Jane or sipped the moon’s shine
Life made it very plain I’m a kid of a doomed kind
I may as well play hangman with my soul tonight, right?
Until the darkness erodes in the glow of the bright light
I see my father and friends
I see God’s open hand
I could no longer pretend I got hope in man
Am I able to carry on and keep free from old ways?
Not very strong, weak knees, goals stray on cold days
I’ve thought for some time, rolled every pair of dice
I saw the Son's signs
I know I could bear the fight
I got the sunshine
No toll can impair my life
I’m off to the front lines
I'll stroll right into paradise

Maybe I’ll catch fire
There’s a way we can match the choir
Let’s pray we can inspire dance and staff hires
Lately, maybe I’ll catch fire
You can extract all of the glass fibres

I climbed the mountain top
I swear from here I can see it all ‘til the countin’ stops
I see the future past
I see why heaven cries
I see why his Son said to forgive seventy-seven times
I need twice that… if not a lot more
This is the right path
Truths I shoulda fought for
So Father, I approach thee cause a pardon I’m needin'
Man's heart is receedin' since the Garden of Eden
How long, how long will I slide?
Now on a bitter ride to kill the vibe instilled inside
As the road winds I try to keep my head straight
Even in better times that head of mine is dead weight
Thus I pray to you, beggin' for forgiveness
Help me when my brain concludes I could never live this
Negative thoughts only keep me down when I tire
This war we wage always has some friendly fire
Ha, that's a funny term, kinda like "civil war"
Only so much less and oh so little more
Now I’ve lost all my breath, I gasp to stand firm
Still struggle to juggle and get past my last words
While they play the laugh track backwards
I always seem to act like I lack standards
Facts gathered that Satan’s soldiers claim the game is over
With rainy eyes I call on your name, Jehovah
Emergence from the alley as it seeps through my breath
'Cause I'm walking through the valley of the shadow of death
Sustain me; spare me from the world's time bomb
Forgive me of my sins and with that, I'm gone
Amen
