Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Set suffering
I knew him when
Fair-weather friend of mine
Try not to think
I merely blink
Hope to wish away the lies
Lies
[Verse 2]
Can you protect me when I'm wrecked
I pretend you're still alive
Alive
Yeah
[Verse 3]
(Who denied all and tied all the lies)
(Who denied all and tied all the lies)
[Verse 4]
I chose the day
One damp and gray
Thick fog to hide our smiles
[Verse 5]
Clear all your sins
Get born again
Just repeat a couple lines
Lines
Lines
Yeah, yeah
[Verse 6]
(Who denied all and tied all the lies)
[Verse 7]
Can you protect me when I'm wrecked
I pretend you're still alive
I chose the day
One damp and gray
Thick fog to hide our smiles
[Verse 8]
Sat suffering
Get born again
Sat suffering
Get born again
Sat suffering
Get born again
Set suffering
Get born again
Sat suffering
Get born again
Sat suffering
Get born again
