“Sign of the Times” Just stop your crying It's a sign of the times Welcome to the final show Hope you're wearing your best clothes You can't bribe the door on your way to the sky You look pretty good down here But you ain't really good We never learn, we been here before Why are we always stuck and running from The bullets? The bullets Mood: Inspired Tone: Encouraging Theme: No matter what happens, you should always try your hardest and always keep going

“Two Ghosts” Same lips red, same eyes blue Same white shirt, couple more tattoos But it's not you and it's not me Tastes so sweet, looks so real Sounds like something that I used to feel But I can't touch what I see We're not who we used to be We're just two ghosts standing in the place of you and me Trying to remember how it feels to have a heartbeat Mood: Sympathetic, lonely Tone: Reflective, gloomy Theme: People and relationships change. Some people who would have meant the world to you one day, could be a ghost later in life
