31 Ways
31 ways I can start my day
I got 30 different reasons for the things that I say
And there are 29 ways to die on my mind
And 28's the number of times that I've tried
To take 27 south, in 26 miles
I lost 25 years in 24 hours
And now 23 days of the week I'm alive
After 22 seasons spent losing my mind

I can say
There's nothing better than making forever out of a day

21 ways to set a clock
20 years gone in a cardboard box
There are 19 monsters underneath my bed
But the doctor told me 18 of them just in my head
Well she was 17 when I was leaning on the ceiling
Of a 16 story building, she was looking for a feeling
I was 15 minutes early, she was 14 minutes late
It took us 13 months to realize that the timing was in place

I can say
There's nothing better than making forever out of a day

Well 12 disciples came to me in a dream;
11 of them seemed sincere
They told me of a 10 ring circus
Toward the center of the earth
Beneath the surface about 9 blocks away from here
Well I said "Thank you, gentlemen, I appreciate the invitation"
And then 8 of them took off into the sky
Woke up around 7 am with bloody feet and bleeding hands
And a triple 6 tattooed across my thighs
Well I've had 5 holes in my head for about as long as I can think
But for the first time in my life they felt like holes
I was stepping out my bed when I saw 4 disciples left
Were standing there waiting to finish off my soul
Well I had struck out my 3 strikes about 2 years ago by now
So I was trying to figure out what's with the wait
So I opened up my mouth but no words ever came out
The devil stepped up and had one thing to say
And I say
There's nothing better than losing forever into the day
