Lyrics

[Verse 1]
How did this happen
Yeah, everybody quit
It's dances and hatred
And the radio sounds like shit
If you can't help me
Then help someone like me
'Cause it all went away and it went quietly
[Verse 2]
Words of hope are a joke for the numb
The poets a liar and we all want some
It's me and it's you and it's all I can do
To not jump from the building jump right into you
[Verse 3]
Our heroes are dicks
We don't pay to protect them
If zeroes a lover, I can't get a correction
The truth, the truth
That fabulous lie
I'm tired of smiling
While you constantly die
[Verse 4]
I don't wanna be scared or addicted to the dream
This fight is a ghost who's suicide was unseen
I'm done, I'm done, I wanna kill all my friends
I wanna grab 'em from the dark and show them their end
[Verse 5]
It's you, it's me and it's all we believe
I'm trying for the living and I'm staying so I can leave
