Take Your Cautionary Tales

and take your incremental gains

and all the sycophanic games

and throw it all away

burn your tv in your yard

and gather 'round it with your friends

and warm your hands upon the fire

and start again

take the story you've been sold

the lies that justify the pain

the guilt that weighs upon your soul

and throw 'em all away

tear up the calendar you bought

throw the pieces to the sky

confetti falling down like rain

like a parade to usher in your life

take the dreams that should've died

the ones that kept you lying awake

when you should've been alright

and throw 'em all away

With the time I waste on a life I never had

I could?ve turned myself into a better man

Solo

Verse)

?cos there ain?t nothing you can buy

there is nothing you can save

to fill the hole inside your heart

so throw it all away

won?t fill the hole inside your heart

help me to empty this house

the wool I?ve gathered all these days

and thought I couldn?t do without

and throw it all away
