Lyrics

I'm not supposed to be here
I'd rather be running, never wanted to be here
I question the feelings I feel
Hard to feel it coming when you don't wanna be here
I don't wanna let go
But everyone's running, running back into the fold
Will the pain bring you back home
Or find yourself going the way the buffalo goes?
Everyone's running like they don't wanna be here
Everyone's running like they don't wanna be here
Everyone's running like they don't wanna be, wanna be here
Everyone's running, thinking they're gonna be
Why don't you go to fucking Disneyland, you know
And build a monument to your delusional thinking?
Why don't you go to fucking Disneyland
And build a monument to your delusional thinking?
But wait, but wait
There is another breath
Just breathe, there is another breath
Oh yeah, everybody's scared
Heavy games, oh
You can't take this back
Because the present has a past
Now you're stuck here forever
Heavy games, oh
You can't take this back
Because the present has a past
Now you're stuck here forever
Heavy games, oh
You can't take this back
Because the present has a past
Now you're fucked up forever
Now you're fucked up forever
Now you're fucked up forever
Now you're fucked up
Forever
And before you see that horrible forest fire
You see this massive cloud of smoke
And it's, and, and, and it's cinematic, and it's biblical
You know, does the end become just entertainment?
Wow, that's a fantastic looking fire that's about to sweep through me
