Lyrics
[Verse 1]
This is not my home, not the place where I was born
Not the place that I grew up in, and everything has changed
Echoes of memories, that I hear on every corner
Harbour lights, no longer bright, replaced with obituaries
[Verse 2]
And I've never loved in my whole life
Now I'm at your mercy, and I will always roll the dice
The two of us could run and live a peaceful life
And I want it all, I want it all
[Verse 3]
She walks home with her keys between her hands
Through closed up bars and empty streets, a shelter for the damned
But in her head, she's okay, she's not afraid of any man
She grew up in a troubled place, something I can't understand
[Verse 4]
I think I've had enough this time
I took a knife straight outta my chest and now I'm feeling alive
[Verse 5]
And all of the pain, I threw it away
'Cos I took my chances running with the quick and the dead
And if we stay, one more day
'Cos we'll never break outta this place and escape the rest
[Verse 6]
I think I've had enough this time
I took a baseball bat to the head, now I'm feeling alive
And if you ever outlive me now
Just know I spilled all of this blood to make you proud
[Verse 7]
I'm lost in the haze, of the countless hours and days
We spent reaching out dreaming on screens and saying goodnight
We took all the rage, and the hurt and the fear and the pain
We doused it in kerosene and we set it alight
You give me the shakes, so don't show any fucking restraint
Make no mistake, my heart's in a vice
[Verse 8]
We broke the rules and we ran away
We drove through the night and we drove through the day
(Whatever it takes)
[Verse 9]
We are generation overdrawn
We are generation fuck it all
We are generation overdrawn
We are generation fuck it all
[Verse 10]
And all of the pain, I threw it away
I threw away all of my chances and swallowed the dice
And if we stay, just one more day
Been running so long give it all for a beautiful life
