Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Everything and everyone
Every word is falsified
Cannot see what you've become
A little hard to recognize
Everything's been overdone
Honesty is crucified
Can't sleep when shots are fired
Even if they're justified
If you are the mastermind
Are you mad with an axe to grind?
If you need to testify
Take the reins or step aside
[Verse 2]
There's another kinda treason
Any day that you can lose yourself
Anything that you believe in
Your little prison and a private hell
Are you feeling kind of angry?
You wanna fly, but your heart's so closed
You can catch a liar safely
But never sure of anything they know
What's that little moving light, then?
Do you believe in ghosts?
It's a little terrifying
To be a part of something so unknown
[Chorus]
Don't you cry
It only hurts when you look with your eyes
A thousand years have passed from day to night, from death to light
When we feel like the world's caving in, we will never give in
[Verse 3]
There's a little, tiny razor
Laying on a painted windowsill
Like a little generator
It'll scare like only high school will
If you're feeling kind of empty
Like being lost in the background would
You can say it to me safely
So let it out 'cause you know you should
[Chorus]
Don't you cry
It only hurts when you look with your eyes
A thousand years have passed from day to night, from death to light
When we feel like the world's caving in, we will never give in
Don't you cry
We only hurt when love has been denied
A thousand voices proved our conscience right, we come from light
When we feel like the world's caving in, we will never give in
[Instrumental]
Hold on to me, we're watching
Ice melt, disease like something's coming
Hold on to me, I'm watching over you
I'll be watching you
[Chorus]
Don't you cry
It only hurts when you look with your eyes
A thousand years have passed from day to night, from death to light
When we feel like the world's caving in, we will never give in
Don't you cry
We only hurt when love has been denied
A thousand voices proved our conscience right, we come from light
When we feel like the world's caving in, we will never give in
