Keep calm



You keep snapping and snapping and never feel a thing, just let your camera tell you what you're missing. 
and you gather your bracelets and watches and rings
You people like to gather things
Each piece could save a dozen lives, but that would be too kind. 
Wait to see what you lose first , Your money or your mind
You've got nothing to fear so you're afraid of the thunder 
You eat till you're full then wait for the hunger
Well fuck the poor we will stick to our classes
And history is measured by the violence that passes
While all love gets blown away with the wind
Just turn a blind eye and say you've never sinned.
Drink your liquor and say you've never sinned

Keep calm and sail on
There is too much too worry you in this world
Keep calm and sail on
Pretend to care where your waiter's from
Keep calm and sail on

You keep talking and talking and never listen to a word
Let your breath condensate over everything you've heard.
And you drink and drink - I think it's absurd
You people are absurd
In a room of smiles as the day's distilled
laughter cries from the hysterics of lives so unfulfilled 

Smoke fills this place, Like the words you cough into my face
Fills my mouth with your bitter taste
Right then my night is killed
stumbling out to the open deck.
Found your voice and lost respect
Your heart is worn tight around your neck
Like the chain you kept from your last ship wreck

You've put that noise on, Its Foreign to me
Choose your poison, It's boring me
You call this freedom, You order half a dozen 
At least you're free enough to chose your poison

Keep calm and sail on
There is too much to worry you in this world
Keep calm and sail on
Pretend to care where you come from
Keep calm and sail on

I keep writing and writing but words go in vain
Just let all that Ink wash away in the rain 
And I talk about love and happiness and pain
I seem to want to feel pain
Hate is abundant and Love is scarce
I put my heart in these words but who really cares
My fingers twitch, So does my mind
My thoughts are evil, my actions are kind
I've got too much emotion and I'm lacking height
I know i don't always fit in
But considering I'm not normal
-I do alright

Keep calm and sail on
There's too much to worry me in this world
Keep calm and sail on
Its where I'm going not where I'm from
Keep calm and sail on
